Great Ming: The World's Number One Corrupt Official, Too Powerful for Old Zhu to Kill

To find a way to feed a million starving people, Zhu Yuanzhang went incognito to investigate, only to discover that Fengyang, which should have been the poorest place, had changed beyond recognition. Its people were prosperous and well-fed.

County Magistrate Chen Jingge took it easy while raking in a fortune.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought he had found a capable official who could bring peace and prosperity. Little did he know that the small Fengyang County yamen was full of treasures, and Chen was rolling in wealth. Corrupt officials must be executed!

"Father, Magistrate Chen is richer than the entire empire. Our Ming army's northern campaign relies entirely on his support. We can't kill him," Zhu Biao said.

"Chongba, Magistrate Chen has performed miracles and done our Zhu family a great kindness. We can't kill him," Empress Ma said.

"So I can't even kill a corrupt official like this?" Zhu Yuanzhang was so furious he spat blood.
