Title 施公案
Alternate Title Shi gong an
Summary "施公案" by Anonymous is a historical fiction novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around a talented scholar named 胡登舉 who seeks justice after the brutal murder of his parents. This gripping tale features themes of revenge, mystery, and the perseverance of good against evil, as the main character grapples with uncovering the truth behind a tragic crime. The opening unveils a dramatic scene where 胡登舉, traumatized by the discovery of his parents' decapitated bodies, rushes to the county office to demand justice. He presents evidence of the vicious crime to 施公, a local magistrate known for his fairness, who is intrigued by the peculiarities of the case. Despite lacking clear leads on the culprits, 施公 is determined and begins to strategize, delving into dreams that hint at hidden truths. Amidst his plans, he gives his subordinates stern orders to uncover leads about two mysterious figures referred to as "九黃" and "七豬," setting the stage for a complex investigation. The blend of suspense and the intricacies of justice are introduced, promising an engaging journey through law and morality. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
