During the Liang Dynasty, the playboy Mo Bing was suddenly faced with a crisis of having his house confiscated. He proved his innocence in three days based on the case of a corpse hanging in a ghost market, and he began to show his talent for investigating things. He used saltpeter to make ice and water vapor to create seals and other strange methods to solve the case and expose the conspiracy of King Zhao's gang members. He was allowed by the emperor to create the Gewuyuan to specialize in prison inspections. After that, Mo Bing, together with the medical girl Yue Qing, the school captain Zhou Yan and others, solved the imperial examination enchantment case, investigated the mysterious water transportation in the south of the Yangtze River, and investigated the loss of ordnance in the north. They repeatedly solved strange cases, but they also came into contact with the deep darkness of the palace. He adhered to the principle of "seeking truth", maintained his original intention amidst the turmoil in the court and the struggle for the throne among the princes, and helped the emperor stabilize the situation in the court. In his later years, Mo Bing became an official, founded Gewu Academy to inherit his legacy, and retired to Linquan with Yueqing. His son inherited his father's legacy, and the academy had a profound influence. Mo Bing was given a posthumous title after his death, and his "A New Edition of the Investigation of Wrong Things" has become a classic among criminals. The spirit of "investigating things to gain knowledge, seeking truth and benefiting the world" has been passed down to future generations. He also transformed from a playboy into a master of investigation, and his legend will always be recorded in the annals of Daliang history.
