Once in the Tang Dynasty, there was a famous detective Di Renjie, whose ingenuity solved countless bizarre puzzles. However, do you know that Di Renjie also has a successor, and he is Su Wuming. Don't look at him young, but he is burdened with Di Renjie's entrustment and solves a series of strange things that happened in the Tang Dynasty with a group of companions.

However, Su Wuming was not treated by Zhonglang Lu Lingfeng, Lu Lingfeng has always longed to become Di Renjie's **, and he was jealous and contemptuous of Su Wuming. The rivalry and conflict between the two is heating up.
One day, Su Wuming stumbled upon a precious tea in Pei Shilang's mansion - Chang'an black tea, but noticed that there was a hidden smell of blood in it. At the same time, there have been a number of cases of missing brides in Chang'an City. Su Wuming decides to use Bae Shilang's daughter Bae Hee-jun and use her as bait to lure out the criminals who kidnapped the bride.
Through Su Wuming's investigation, he found that the raw materials of this rare Chang'an black tea actually came from the bride's brain marrow!And the one behind the scenes who manipulated all this turned out to be Chang'an County Ling Yuanlai, out of dissatisfaction with the imperial court, he planned to use Chang'an black tea to control the imperial court**. In the end, Su Wuming and Lu Lingfeng worked together to bring Yuan Lai and his ** to justice.
Subsequently, Su Wuming was appointed Sima of Nanzhou, while Lu Lingfeng was dismissed for being involved in a political feud between Princess Taiping and the crown prince. Su Wuming invited Lu Lingfeng to Nanzhou, and on the way passed by a post station called Gantang Station. The inn was rumored to be a haunted place, however, they didn't believe in the ghost stories.
At Gantangyi, they meet Pei Xijun, who has been kidnapped by a lieutenant who has gone to Chang'an. The two also met the children of the Cui nobles. Lu Lingfeng successfully rescued Pei Xijun, but they found that the heads of the kidnappers and the Cui family's children were actually boiled in the pot!Behind all this, there is the true face of the Gantang post guard, and he even controls the python. Su Wuming and Lu Lingfeng handed over the post guards to the local government and asked them to thoroughly investigate the case.
