The Temple of Yongzhou - Judge Chen, #1

A villager was struck down in his own home. A lecher bled out on the street, his face ripped to shreds. Young boys vanished from a forsaken temple. And this was just my first week as the Magistrate of Taihe County. Could it really be the acts of an angry god, as the villagers claimed? Or was someone using the curse of the temple to cover up their nefarious schemes?I had to find out. But an invisible force countered every step I took.
Evidence disappeared. My study was broken into. My bedroom wall was painted in blood. Maidservant, constables, brothel madam, concubine, village squire .
