The novel tells the story of Bao Zheng's efforts to try strange cases and rehabilitate unjust imprisonment with the help of many chivalrous men, and the chivalrous men's efforts to get rid of violence, calm down and help others. In the book, an image of an impartial and honest official who is not afraid of power is created, which fully reflects the wishes of the people at the bottom.

Among them, Bao Gong rehabilitated unjust imprisonment with the help of the chivalrous man, and the plots of "Pang Yu" and "removing the captaincy" exposed the darkness of feudal rule to some extent, showing the people's fighting spirit. The book is interspersed with a large number of chivalrous men such as Bai Yutang, Zhan Zhao, Jiang, etc., all of which are just acts of drawing swords to help each other, showing their nature of being chivalrous and serving the country and the people.
