Fang Cun Criminal Division

In the seventh year of Dashuo Jinghe, the prosperous and prosperous era has long been decayed. The aristocratic family firmly controls the court, and the laws on paper are subject to human interests and disadvantages. Shen Yanci, a scholar from a poor family, has no support from his family and is assigned to the neglected Records and Documents Court of the Ministry of Justice. Every day he faces a pile of old files that no one wants to touch. Colleagues tend to follow the trend, officials protect each other, and the superiors deliberately cover up evils for the sake of stability. He has seen unjust cases that have been hastily settled in prefectures and counties, and has seen through the hidden rules of life that prevail in the court. His enthusiasm for book business has been repeatedly beaten by reality. He is unwilling to overturn the intricate chain of interests rashly, nor is he willing to just go with the flow. The court is vast, and the powerful are vying for central authority. Shen Yanci knew that he was unable to change the entire world, so he put aside his thoughts of reaching the top of the court, hid his edge, and analyzed the authenticity among volumes of old cases. The turbulent waves are surging, but he does not seek fame in the government and the public. He only guards this small area of ​​​​the criminal justice department. He does his best to clear away the fog, defend a belated justice for the people at the bottom, and use his own meager efforts to protect the legal system and ensure the Qingming Dynasty.
