Ming Dynasty: Weeping for Poverty Every Year, Lao Zhu Was Dumbfounded When He Visited Secretly

Song Yin traveled through Chengpei County to the magistrate, and his memorials always only wrote about the ruins of official roads, the victims of disasters starving to death, and the proliferation of banditry. But in fact, he built eight "roads" that could run horse-drawn carriages side by side, granaries were piled outside the walls, and housing prices rose faster than in the capital. When Zhu Yuanzhang returned to his hometown and passed the boundary monument, he was shocked: the road was smooth and the rice ears were crushing his waist. He turned into a gambling shop in the county town and beat people to death in the street. Song Yin and the oiran came down from the chariot with six white horses and gold inlays and ordered him to pay a thousand taels in compensation and settle the case. Lao Zhu was furious and wanted to send troops to raid his home, but Queen Ma stopped him: "Let's take a look first before talking." The more the investigation turned out to be more and more wrong - the person who died was a gambler who was a domestic abuser and sold his son. He paid a thousand taels of money and bought a garden house in the second ring; the yamen servant took a hundred taels of meeting fee and took them into Song Yin's glass showroom; Xu Qing spent 40,000 taels to buy the magistrate of Ping County, but what was written on his resume was that he had three years of experience in silk and satin management, and after taking office, he promoted commerce and enriched the county. Song Yin patted Lao Zhu on the shoulder and smiled: It doesn't matter if an official is corrupt or not, only a good official can do things. Lao Zhu stared at the glass mirror that could illuminate his eyebrows clearly and remained silent all night. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
