Uncovering Strange Cases in the Ming Dynasty

[Mystery and Investigation] [The Jianghu and the Imperial Court] [Decisive and Ruthless] [Power Struggles and Schemes] [No System] [Not Brain-Dead]

After transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Wu Qian becomes a constable in Taoyuan County.

A steady job.

A minor leadership role.

A dozen or two people under his command.

No performance targets to worry about.

And a pretty decent income.

Zhang Wu Qian figures he can coast through life like this.

But a gruesome family massacre on the third day of the third month in the first year of the Hongxi reign makes his life anything but ordinary.

He befriends Yu Qian, the so-called "God of War of the Ming Dynasty," and the two join forces to solve one bizarre case after another. Before long, they are drawn into struggles over imperial power and swept helplessly into the treacherous currents of history.

Because of Zhang Wu Qian, the Embroidered Uniform Guard establishes a third bureau, the Bureau of Strange Cases, alongside its Northern and Southern Bureaus. It solves the world's strangest cases, punishes evil and promotes good, and upholds justice and law in a peaceful and prosperous age, giving rise to one astonishing legend after another.

Zhang Wu Qian earns promotions and honors, rises to great power, and takes command of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He becomes the chief instructor of the Ming Dynasty's hundred thousand constables and secures his place in history.
