Everyone should know something about the legend of Bao Longtu, especially the story of him using a dragon head to kill Chen Shimei, the first scumbag in the Great Song Dynasty, which is widely sung. But the "Quanmei case" as we know it today is not the original version, and Chen Shimei may not be a fabrication, but a real person.
The Song Dynasty was inherited, the Yuan Dynasty arose, and the truth was revealed in the Ming Dynasty.
Although the story of "Quanmei Case" originated in the Song Dynasty, it arose in the Yuan Dynasty. Detailed textual records did not appear until the Ming Dynasty, and the most widely circulated is the "Complete Biography of the Hundred Families of the Romance of the Jingben Popular Romance Baolongtu". Like the romance we are familiar with**, this ** is also full of mythological elements, and "The Beauty Case" is no exception.
In this version of the story, Chen Shimei married a woman surnamed Qin, whose name is not fully presented. is different from the "Quanmei Case", although Chen Shimei won the top prize in this story, she did not become the emperor's concubine. This is consistent with the historical facts of the Song Dynasty, because since Song Taizu's "cup of wine released military power", the position of the horse is mainly used to encircle the powerful, and the champion is a valuable talent in the eyes of the country, and it is not easily wasted on the horse.
In this version of the story, Qin is killed by Chen Shimei's men, but the gods save her body and soul and train her two children to be useful talents. Later, Qin's child became an official and sued Chen Shimei in front of Bao Gong, which eventually led to Chen Shimei being confiscated in accordance with the law. It is worth noting that in the entire "Complete Biography", Bao Gong never used his famous three-mouth guillotine, and this element only began to appear in the later Qing Dynasty martial arts ** "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness".
Is Chen Shimei in the Qing Dynasty true or false?
Many people may question whether Chen Shimei is just a fictional character from the above content, how can it be a real character?
According to the records of the Qing Dynasty's "Junzhou Chronicles" and the "Dictionary of Hubei Historical Figures" after the founding of New China, Chen Shimei's prototype was a native of Junzhou, Hubei, and his original name was Chen Niangu (or Shumei, Shimei). He was once a good boy with excellent character and learning, successfully entered the Beijing examination, and became a civil servant in the Qing Dynasty. At first, his spokesman was Emperor Shunzhi, who later became a monk, and Kangxi favored him after succeeding to the throne and promoted him.
After Chen Shimei was promoted and raised, his friends and people in his hometown came to him to "fight the autumn breeze". At first, Chen Shimei could still cope with it, but he was a clean official and did not want to be corrupt, so he gradually could not cope. So he began to distance himself from these people. These friends and acquaintances began to slander Chen Shimei after failing to fulfill their wishes. According to the protagonists of stories such as "Qin Xianglian" and "Bao Gong Case" that existed at that time, as well as Chen Shimei's "namekeeping", they began to arrange Chen Shimei in an attempt to discredit him.
What is the truth?Chen Shimei in the Song Dynasty is purely apocryphal, and the real Chen Shimei may exist in the Qing Dynasty.
Regarding Chen Shimei's story, in addition to the various versions of the "Bao Gong Case", there are also positive records of him. Chen Shimei of the Qing Dynasty may be real, but he may not be a bad person who has been abandoned from the beginning, but a good person who has been wronged.

The truth of Bao Longtu was revealed, Chen Shimei or the Qing official was wronged?!
