At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was an undercurrent in the court, and a fraud case in the examination room opened up layers of shady scenes. General Zhou Yan of the Beijing Camp was ordered to conduct a thorough investigation, but found that there were intricate forces involved behind the case. The remnants of the Eunuch Party faked their death and came back to power. They colluded with the powerful officials of the Donglin Party, noble families and the remnants of Shanxi merchants. They used methods such as forming a clique in the examination room, smuggling military supplies, collaborating with the enemy and making money to lay a poisonous network to subvert the country.
With Wang Yangming's idea of "unity of knowledge and action", Zhou Yan teamed up with the female doctor Wen Yuheng, Jianghu forces and the believer Zhu Youjian to identify the mystery of handwriting in the examination papers, organized an army to train in the old prison of the capital camp, and pursued the murderous traces to Jiangnan Bookstore and Saibei Business Road. In the face of the Donglin Party's criticism and the eunuch's poisonous schemes, he clung to the ironclad evidence, destroyed the palace coup, killed the traitor, and cut off the enemy's supply chain. In the turbulent maelstrom of power and intrigue, he protected the Ming Dynasty with loyalty, courage and resourcefulness, and upheld his original intention of safeguarding the country's security and the people in the turbulent currents.
