When Jiang Songyi arrived at the scene, he witnessed the horrifying scene of servants digging out the charred corpse from the scorched earth.
A servant from the Plum Courtyard stepped forward to identify it, holding a charred jade pendant in his hand. He said, "This is the jade pendant that the proton brought from Dongling. He always wears it, never taking it off."
