Bao Qing Tian (包青天) also known as "Justice Pao". is a platform game developed by some ex-Sachen developers & published by Ka Sheng in 1996.
Overview
Screenshot of the game.
Despite Bao the judge is mentioned prominently throughout the game, he is, in fact, not the player character - the players themselves control one or two of Bao's servants, depending on whether the two-player hotseat mode is selected or not.
Each world is split into three levels, two of which are mainly based around platforming while the third one is a boss stage.
Otherwise, it's functionally similar to The Dragon, right down to the mechanics.
The title screen music is a rendition of the opening theme of a television series on the same subject (https://youtu.be/X7oqYpSsJ0Q).
