Sesame Detective
During the reign of Ming Emperor Yingzong, Wang Lin, the nephew of the great eunuch Wang Zhen, was escorted by the Jingyi guards on a trip to Qinhuai, when he got into a fight with a group of gentry led by the son of Hu Xunquan, the governor of Yangzhou. The officer, Zhao Mingjiu, used his martial arts skills to take them both down and send them to the magistrate's office for trial. When the governor learns of Wang Lin's identity, he ignores the rules and regulations of the country and immediately starts a "crisis public relations" campaign, trying to enlist the help of his friends.
