Summary

. In this chapter, Shen Tang engages in a conversation with the Oiran, who initially expresses surprise at his straightforwardness regarding borrowing money for business. She implies that there are no guaranteed profits in business and suggests that any amount borrowed would provide protection. However, Shen Tang challenges her by asking how much one needs to borrow to achieve the highest level of protection, indicating that he seeks more than just basic security. The Oiran deflects his question, suggesting that even a lower rank of protection would suffice for his purposes. . As the dialogue continues, Shen Tang inquires about the investigation into a mass grave, suspecting that the ghosts seen might be disguised living people. Kangshi reports that their investigation found no leads, but testimonies from commoners suggest the ghosts were not human. Gu Chi, who was investigating a grave, discovers the remains of a young woman who had been murdered, with evidence of blunt force trauma and a knife found nearby. This revelation adds a layer of mystery and urgency to Shen Tang's quest for answers. .
