Lin Chen, a modern legal scholar, accidentally traveled through the Song Dynasty. At that time, the world was dark, the government was corrupt, lynchings were rampant, the powerful were above the law, injustices were piling up in the world, and countless injustices were buried in the darkness of the mountains and rivers.
Armed with the knowledge of modern criminal investigation and legal theory, Lin Chen broke the situation and joined hands with the resourceful Su Wanqing, the world-leading investigative veteran Chen Jiu, and the iron-clad execution general Zhao Tingyu to form the strongest investigation team and travel across the land of Kyushu.
From state and county secret cases, powerful and powerful gangsters, to court gangsters, secret sects in rivers and lakes, chieftains and cauldron gangs, and secret killings in deep palaces, they examined bones, identified authenticity, solved unjust cases, punished hypocrisy, and tore through the darkness covered by the layers of the Song Dynasty. Travel across the mountains and rivers, wipe out the obvious murderers in troubled times, cleanse the world of centuries of injustice, and smash the monstrous evil that dominates the government and the opposition.
In troubled times, evil is brought to an end, and in prosperous times, rules are established. After the storm settled, Lin Chen worked hard on judicial restructuring, overthrowing the thousand-year-old bad habit of "punishment does not go to the powerful", revised the "New Law for the Abolition of Injustices", established a standardized inquest system, established schools to educate people, and purged officials, so that the law would shine on both the ruling and the common people.
In the prosperous and peaceful times, the embers of a century-old hidden door are secretly growing, and invisible tricks create traceless strange cases, hiding centuries-old secrets of the previous dynasty. The four of them broke through the mess again, completed the final inspection law, and eradicated the dark frost of the prosperous age and the last invisible evil in the world.
From investigating an injustice in one case to establishing laws for all generations; from punishing a young man to being the founder of laws in the Song Dynasty. After six years of ups and downs, all the evil in the world was wiped out, and finally there was no injustice in the nine provinces and peace for the ages, creating a legend of the Song Dynasty that protected the common people with the law and proved justice with the bones.
Purpose: This book breaks out of the single frame of investigating cases and solving crimes, and takes the rule of law to save the world and establish justice as its core.
Injustice in the world is not only due to the evil committed by murderers, but also stems from loopholes in the system, the privileges of the powerful, lax governance and the accumulated abuses of the times. The story progresses from detecting strange folk cases and sweeping away the darkness in the world, to reforming legislation, breaking down barriers between noble and humble, and eradicating centuries-old abuses.
The main message is conveyed: Solving a case can only redress temporary injustices, and only legislation can bring peace to the world forever.
To eliminate violence in troubled times and to control darkness in prosperous times, whether it is the evil caused by tangible weapons or the invisible frost of people's hearts, they all need to be restrained by laws and checked and balanced by justice. True peace is never the absence of crime or crime, but the distinction between high and low, black and white, justice must be redressed, and evil must be eliminated.
Use a mortal body to dig through the dead bones of eternity, and use the light of law to illuminate the darkness of the ages, and interpret - justice is never given by God, it is always established by man; prosperity never arises by itself, but is protected by the law.
