Synopsis:

Zhang Ping is an impoverished orphan who comes from a provincial part of the country. He has come to Beijing in an attempt to take the civil service entrance examination but must eke out a living by making noodles to sell on the street. While he is unsophisticated in his manners and is something of a dreamer, he is exceptionally perceptive – and also quite nosy. That means he is naturally gifted when it comes to solving puzzles and getting to the bottom of mysteries.

Meanwhile, Lan Jue is a young, well-mannered minister who hides a secret from his youth that he does not want to reveal to anyone. As Lan Jue is going about his business, trying to solve a case, his path crosses with that of Zhang Ping. Despite some misunderstandings, Zhang Ping manages to help Lan Jue solve the case – although the former also inadvertently learns the latter’s secret. But this incident turns into the beginning of a remarkable partnership.

The two men develop a close bond – despite their very different backgrounds. And together, they resolve to solve all manner of mysteries, including what really happened to Lan Jue’s father – and rid the royal court of corruption once and for all!

Adapted from the novel “The Mystery of Zhang Guo” (张公案) by Da Feng Gua Guo (大风刮过).

Gentlemen’s League Synopsis:

In the Yong Dynasty, Lan Ji (played by Jing Boran), the servant of the Ministry of Rites, mediated in the disputes between the court and the court all year round. It seems gentle and elegant and smooth, but in fact there is a little-known growth history hidden behind it. In a secret operation, Lan Jue came across Zhang Ping (played by Song Weilong), a young idiot who went to Beijing alone to rush for an exam to pursue his dream. Careful planning. Since then, the two people with very different identities and personalities have also been teachers and friends, and they have cooperated tacitly to face the suspicious cases. .
