In the five years of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty, a major case that shook the whole state occurred in the capital of Yizhou.

On a dark and windy night for a month, Tie Tai, the prefect of Yizhou, and the fifth aunt were suddenly killed. The next morning, the fifth aunt's close servant, Cuilian, came into the room to deliver morning tea, and saw the two masters lying naked on the fifth aunt's carved sandalwood bed, with black blood all over the bed. Cuilian was so scared that she fainted.

When the news reached the province, the governor was extremely shocked and ordered the inspector to set up a task force of capable personnel to enter the Yizhou government office to investigate the bloody case with all his strength. For a time, the state capital was in a state of panic and panic.

Tie Tai and the fifth aunt died very strangely. Everything in the fifth aunt's room was placed as usual, and there was no sign of tearing and fighting. There was a bloody hole in neck of the deceased, and the wounds were neither sword stab nor knife wounds, and there were no scars on the rest of the body.

Just as the case manager was scratching his head in a hurry to find out the cause of death, someone suddenly found something outside the window of the fifth aunt's room. It was a lotus-shaped iron weapon hidden by a premature leaf, and it was stained with blood. This must have been the murder weapon left by the murderer as he hurried to escape. To the surprise of the case manager, they had handled countless cases, large and small, and had never seen or heard of such a weapon.

The fifth aunt's gold and silver were soft and did not move at all. The murderer obviously didn't want to commit a crime, so it must have been a revenge killing. The case manager immediately summoned the steward of the Iron Mansion and asked him to tell him if Master Tie had made enemies during his tenure. The steward broke out in a cold sweat, and the two wars could not say a word. It was not until tolerance was in a hurry that the steward stuttered and said that Master Tie had a hot personality and was a bit rude in his work, and many people died in his hands! Just two months ago, the master took a fancy to a newly married woman in Yuzi Village, Chengxi, and asked someone to tie her up and force her to be the aunt of the sixth room. Unexpectedly, the woman was very fierce and crashed to death on the porch.

The case manager immediately brought a team of people from the government office and went straight to Yuzi Village in Chaishan. Unexpectedly, he saw a stocky man standing there waiting for them from a distance. The man said loudly: "Dog official Tietai relies on power and usually acts as a force in the countryside, bullying men and women. He should have died long ago. I am doing harm for the people!"

The lice on the bald man's head was obvious, was there any doubt about that? The leader of tolerance waved his hand, and a few soldiers were about to go up to fight, but they saw the man raise his hands, and then two soldiers fell. Before the people next to him came to their senses, the man flashed and soon disappeared. The case manager was so angry that he sent people to search around that there was not even a shadow.

The government immediately made an arrest and sent people to continue the search. A month passed, but nothing came of it. The man seemed to have vanished from the world.

The governor was furious and ordered that the murderer's ancestral grave be dug. In Yuzi Village, the man was from a single family, his ancestors fled from other places, and his parents died early, so there were not many ancestral graves. When several soldiers dug up a grave and opened the coffin lid with all their strength, an amazing scene appeared: the coffin was filled with half a coffin of bright water, and a white lotus flower was blooming in the middle of the water. Because of the wind, the lotus flower soon changed color and withered!

Perhaps it was because they were afraid of the "lotus flower killing," or perhaps they were shocked by the white lotus flower in the coffin. From then on, no one was willing to intervene in the case. The "Tie Tai Blood Case" was hung in the official office diary as a cold case.
