Features: This book is one of the four great classics of modern literature. It vividly and incisively portrays the images of two "honest officials." One is Yu Xian, who, in pursuit of a good reputation, recklessly disregards human lives and arbitrarily tortures and kills innocent people, making one morally indignant upon reading. The other is Gang Bi, who is subjective and arbitrary, uses severe torture to extract confessions, and treats human lives as toys. These two characters are quite innovative, and their objective value far exceeds the art itself.
