When Heshen, who was the most powerful and wealthy man in the Qianlong Dynasty, returned to the underworld in an accident, he found that he had not come to an end, but was strangely reborn hundreds of years ago in the body of Bao Zheng, the governor of Kaifeng in the Song Dynasty, the "black-faced blue sky"!
This is the ultimate irony, a ridiculous joke. He Shen, who was used to being well-dressed, manipulating power, and regarding corruption as the law of survival, was suddenly thrust into this upright and upright body, respected by all people. Not only does he have to face Bao Zheng's simple and "poor" life, he also has to deal with those subordinates who are full of rules and uprightness (such as the wise but too "pedantic" Gongsun Ce, and the strong martial arts but acknowledgment of death Zhan Zhao), what's more terrible is that this body seems to still have the original owner's damn sense of justice, and often jumps out to cause trouble when he wants to "do things cheaply"!
The beginning was a troublesome imperial examination fraud case, and a former student turned out to be the examiner; when he took office in Luzhou, he discovered the "disaster index" to warn of corruption, but was forced to pay for the shortfall out of his own pocket; while patrolling Jiangnan, he used his previous life experience to solve the mystery of the salt administration, but had to burn down his own government with his own hands. Years of stolen goods account books... He Shen discovered that his "corrupt official wisdom" developed by being immersed in officialdom for decades - observing people's emotions, understanding people's hearts, money to clear the way, and arranging traps - actually showed unexpected "miraculous effects" on the road of anti-corruption and promoting integrity!
This is a Machiavellian story about identity dislocation, the confrontation between good and evil, and the search for order in the darkness. Look at how a generation of powerful traitors were forced to become—or, in other words, redefined—"Qingtian" in the torrent of history.
