The Mohist Is Reborn

In the 17th year of Yonghe's reign in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Niu Chen was taken to Caishikou and charged with "deceiving the public with evil words and using strange techniques to disrupt government." After thirty years as an official, he was as clean as water, but what he got in exchange was the death penalty. He watched helplessly as the people were devoured by mismanagement and famine, watched the farm tools he improved were smashed by aristocratic families, and watched his wife and children die of cold and starvation in exile. When the last knife fell, he swore that if there was an afterlife, he would never be such a foolish and loyal minister. When I opened my eyes again, it was the third year of Yonghe.
