The two arrived at the Grand Hall of King Qin Guang. Bu Ying quickly reported Jing Kai’s situation to the judge of the hall.
Soon after, Jing Kai was brought into the Grievance Petition Office. The grievance officer—whose secondary soul served under Yu (Yu Menglong)—brought out a stack of scrolls and explained the causes and consequences behind his death.
Every person is followed by an underworld record keeper assigned to document their words and actions. This is what people refer to as “Heaven sees all actions from above.”
These record keepers continuously transmit everything back to the underworld. Jing Kai’s entire life history was recorded in the scrolls placed before him.
It turned out that the murderer was his elder half-brother, Jing Yue.
During the provincial examination, Jing Yue became overly anxious and failed. In desperation, he decided to assume Jing Kai’s identity in order to obtain his examination success and status.
