In the Name of the People: The Blade of the Central Government

The Zhao family has fallen, but its remnants have yet to be cleared away.

Beneath the surface of Jiangnan Province, undercurrents stir. A twenty-year-old case from Luzhou lies buried deep: state assets siphoned off, murders covered up, officials in collusion. Layers of darkness conceal the truth.

The central authorities unsheathe their blade. Xie Linyuan assumes the name Lin Chen and slips alone into Ningzhou as a young investigator.

Facing Du Mingshan, a powerful Jiangnan official with deep roots and ruthless methods, he proceeds one careful step at a time, following clues through the fog and digging out the truth in the face of danger.

A handshake is a greeting; turning away reveals the blade.

Silence is a test; a word can strike like thunder.

Panicking, Du Mingshan resorts to brutality. He seals off the files, hunts down witnesses, and lays a deadly trap, hoping to ensnare the investigation team in Jiangnan.

Xie Linyuan meets force with calm, strikes at the heart of the matter, turns the tables on a rainy night, and uses irrefutable evidence to establish guilt, tearing away the mask of power with overwhelming force.

Reputation is a facade; the law is the bottom line.

When crimes buried for twenty years come to light, and the parasites entrenched in the region can no longer hide,

this blade of justice from the central authorities will cut through the darkness and restore peace to Jiangnan.
