先天二年夏秋之交,天子虽已登基,但大长公主势力更盛,长安局势阴晴难定。卢凌风(杨旭文饰)和苏无名(杨志刚饰),奉命带着由裴喜君、费鸡师、樱桃和薛环组成的探案小队,以护送康国所献金桃的名义重返长安。繁华的长安,卢凌风复职雍州司法参军,苏无名则被授予一个特殊的官职,同时叫费鸡师出任酥山店掌柜,并将店铺设置成全长安的暗探情报中心。卢苏二人推出新政,开启环城探案模式,深入长安各坊,接触到了更广泛的百姓和民生,也借此避开了天子与大长公主的争斗。在历经康国的金桃、成佛寺的哭声、白泽的踪迹、食尾蛇、解忧店等多宗疑案后,最终长安的风云汇聚到事关朝堂的盛世马球案。卢凌风和苏无名,不得不直面这个刀光剑影的秋天以及各自的命运,并为此付出了沉重的代价。即使历经风雨,但他们终究在万年长安大观盛唐,护佑百姓的初心始终没有改变。
该剧改编自清闲丫头所著同名小说。故事延续第一部的剧情,讲述三法司少年团联手“攘外”,将一个个看似毫无关联的案件抽丝剥茧、扎根串联,护百姓安宁,更守家国平安的故事。
10 years after Martin Shaw turned the beloved Inspector Gently novels into a hit BBC One TV series, filming has begun on two final feature-length episodes. Back in action one last time will be Shaw as the eponymous inspector, who is tested like never before just as he winds down his career. In the first of two films - Gently Liberated - the inspector and his trusted allies Bacchus (Lee Ingleby) and Coles (Lisa McGrillis) are brought in to investigate a possible "miscarriage of justice". However, their final case in Gently and the New Age has the Met's new Special Investigations Squad boss Lister bringing in the inspector to investigate high levels of corruption within the force. Both of these mini-movies will be set in 1970, as the women's liberation movement and the rise of the Conservative Party bring clashing values to Britain.
