Searching for the Truth in Zhao Prison

It has been one hundred and fifty years since the founding of the Jokhang Holy Dynasty, and undercurrents were flowing under the prosperity of the prosperous times. Factions between the government and the opposition are entangled, local officials are shielding each other, countless mysterious cases and strange events are deliberately covered up, or classified as natural disasters and evil spirits, or hastily designated as accidental murders, and every injustice is buried. Wang Jinqian, whose courtesy name is Runming, is forty-six years old. He serves as the Chief Inspector of the General Constitution and the Central Committee of Pingzhangshi. He holds the pinnacle of real power in the dynasty and is in charge of the supervision of criminal cases across the country. He is well versed in the rules of the officialdom, has a clear mind and compassion, knows how to be flexible in his actions, checks the circumstances of the case and makes fair judgments, and will also consider the overall situation of the society and deal with it flexibly when reporting memorials. Everyone in the court had their own selfish motives and avoided disaster, but he was the only one who won the respect of the emperor. Whenever a difficult and mysterious case arises, the emperor will issue a special edict giving him full authority over local military and political affairs, without being bound by conventional regulations. Wang Jinqian followed the imperial edict and patrolled the country, peeling away layers of disguises, solving mysterious and bizarre cases, and uncovering the perpetrators hiding in the dark. Behind the case is far more than just local corruption and personal grudges, gentry games and official strife emerged one after another, and there is also a thrilling conspiracy to treason and usurp power. As the truth continues to be dug deeper, he gradually realizes that many events are faintly pointing to the deep palace. The Ninth Five-year-old Lord seems to be sitting in the court, but in fact he has been strategizing behind the scenes, using one case after another to check and balance the forces of the government and opposition, and consolidate the foundation of imperial power. Civilian shenanigans, official shady stories, and clan undercurrents are intertwined with each other, and the good and evil of human nature and the desire for power are constantly pulling together. Wang Jinqian made choices between legal principles, feelings, and the balance between monarch and ministers. He uncovered all the secrets step by step, and finally brought the complete truth to the world.
