Features: When Di Renjie served as the Magistrate of Changping, he solved several difficult and mysterious cases. Among them were a case of a lecherous woman plotting to murder her husband and a murder case where a silk merchant was killed out of greed, with his wealth stolen. In these extraordinary cases, the book portrays the meticulous investigation of Autumn Elder and the supernatural insight in solving the mysteries. The book also depicts Di Gong's approach to governing as both a human and a ghost, cleverly resolving doubtful cases. In the city of Maoping, there was a daughter of Li Wangshi named Li Gu Niang, who married a scholar named Hu Guoxiang. Her son's classmate, Hu Zuobin, made lewd remarks during the wedding night. The next day, Li Gu Niang suddenly died. The Hu family suspected Hu Zuobin of murder and brought the case to court. Di Gong personally visited the scene and discovered that a red-flamed snake living in the beam had dripped venom into the pot. Li Gu Niang accidentally drank poisoned tea and died. Di Gong cleared the innocent.
