Strange Cases of the Great Ming

In the forty-fifth year of the Wanli reign, a Korean tribute envoy entered the Huitong Embassy, and in the middle of the night a startling incident occurred in a locked room. Su Chengyu, son of an assistant commissioner of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, assists in the investigation, but the fog has only just begun to spread. In the capital, people then die mysteriously one after another on their way home, followed by a case of an entire household being wiped out, an old wrongful conviction from a prison case years past, and strange cases from north and south rise in quick succession. Amid the fog of the Great Ming, Su Chengyu investigates cunning schemes, breaks through bewildering puzzles, and glimpses the human heart behind the crimes. This story is purely fictional; any resemblance to real events is purely coincidental. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Strange Cases of the Great Ming — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
