In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the undercurrents in the court were surging, the powerful and powerful were intertwined, treacherous and sycophants took power, and unjust cases occurred frequently.
Kou Zhun, a young talent who passed the imperial examination at a young age, has a pure and upright character, has a heart for the common people, and is not afraid of power. He works in the government and the public with a low official position, and solves strange injustices.
He, Li Hang, and Wang Dan were sworn brothers, and they were each other's arms.
The loyal and honorable Hu Yanpi was saved from being wronged, and he was willing to give up the title of king and follow Kou Zhun to experience the countryside;
The heroes Yuan Heng, Song E, Lang Qian, and Lang Wan, two heroes of the sun and moon, helped him wholeheartedly, protecting him all the way through murderous plots and overcoming difficulties.
From the unjust case of Linjiang Tower in Bianliang, to the murder case in the arena of Tianqi Temple, to the series of mysterious cases along Badong in the south, secret killings with snake venom, coffins for corpses, monk corpses in ancient wells, silver theft, unjust cases of bracelets, and headless cases emerge one after another.
The piles are bizarre and complicated, the secrets of people's hearts are hidden in the strange cases in the city, and the fog among the people leads to the struggle for power in the court.
Kou Zhun judged the case impartially and investigated the grievances based on the facts. He repeatedly exposed Pan Renmei and Qin Wang Zhao Tingmei's conspiracy to form a clique for personal gain and frame Zhongliang, which violated the interests of the powerful. He was repeatedly hunted by dead men, intercepted and killed by pseudo-monks, and plotted by secret parties. The road ahead is dangerous every step of the way, and murderous intent is everywhere.
In the court, Pan and Yang are entangled in grievances, and Jianghuai's greed for food and fraud harms people's livelihood; deep in the palace, the three kings of Qin, Chu, and Xu covet the imperial power, and there are undercurrents of rebellion, and the government and the public are in turmoil.
A minister of the Qing Dynasty, holding the law in his hand and keeping justice in his heart.
He solves mysteries with his sharp eyes, confronts the evil with his pride, and protects the loyal with his sincerity.
It's interesting, I'm still reading it.
