Great Tang: The Timidest County Magistrate Files a Complaint Against Li Er from the Start

Xu Wuyou transmigrates to the Tang Dynasty and becomes the magistrate of Liuye County.

A timid, cautious man by nature, he fears that if his subordinates embezzle money, he'll end up being held responsible.

So he can only skin a county official who embezzled three taels of silver, stuff the skin with dried grass, and hang it in the courtroom.

Afraid that an imperial envoy will investigate and wrongfully accuse him, he has no choice but to kill the veteran envoy who tried to bribe him, skin him, stuff the skin with dried grass, and hang it in the courtroom.

Li Er is enraged and sends another imperial envoy. Xu Wuyou, already timid by nature, is even more afraid, and can only keep killing.

Disaster strikes from the heavens, and the crops yield nothing. The imperial relief grain never arrives.

To prevent the people from rebelling, Xu Wuyou writes a memorial accusing the emperor of crimes and submits it to the court, directly indicting the current emperor, Li Shimin.

The moment the memorial is read aloud at the morning court, everyone is stunned.

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and the others accompany Li Er straight to Liuye County, eager to see what kind of magistrate would dare accuse His Majesty Li Shimin himself.

Before long, Li Er arrives with his ministers. The first thing they see is row after row of straw men hanging in the courtroom of Liuye County...
