Sir, I Am Wronged!

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Shen Mo, a small official in Shuntian Prefecture, was framed for a corruption case involving six ministries and was thrown into jail. He was originally a "marginal person" who studied sages but was involved in official circles. He had neither background nor windfall, but he had a mouth that could talk dead truths into life. Faced with the coercion and inducement of the presiding judge, he did not act according to common sense. Sometimes he cited scriptures to refute the charges, and sometimes he used market slang to dismantle official routines, turning the courtroom into a "debating field." As the investigation of the case progressed, he discovered that behind this unjust case was a power struggle between the cabinet and the eunuchs, and that he was just a pawn. Shen Mo uses "injustice" as a blade, uses public opinion to build momentum, and uses logical loopholes to fight back. He deals with the swords and swords in the court and the market, not only to clear his name, but also to tear open the "officialdom fig leaf" wrapped up in layers. The whole text is structured in a chapter-turn style, imitating the language of Yi Zhongtian, and writes the serious historical plot in a solemn and humorous way. It is sharp in humor and profound in laughter.
