About This Novel
The novel takes the "serial rape and murder case of mother and daughter" as the main line and tells the story of Yang Zhen, "the most honest official in the Han Dynasty" for twenty years as an official. When Yang Zhen was appointed as a local official, it was in the early days of Empress Dowager Deng's regency, which was full of crises, maladministration, corruption, and a lot of waste. Yang Zhen had great courage and wisdom, killing county magistrates and cutting down powerful people, and gained great fame. After entering the court, he assisted a generation of Ming Dynasty queens to rectify officialdom and punish corrupt officials. At the same time, he promoted the New Deal, pacified frontier fortresses, educated the country, and governed the court strictly. The Han Dynasty entered another golden period after the Guangwu Zhongxing. Yang Zhen was also praised by the government and the public as "the most honest official in the Han Dynasty". After Emperor An of the Han Dynasty came to power, he was often treacherous and sycophantic, but far away loyal and good. The politics were dark and the people were in dire straits. For the sake of the national economy and the people's livelihood, Yang Zhen worked hard, was not afraid of evil, went against the grain and remonstrated, and repeatedly impeached the traitor. In the end, he was framed by the traitor. Yang Zhen was upright and committed to his own life, thus safeguarding his integrity.
