The empress travels east, visiting the people and rooting out corrupt officials.
But she unexpectedly discovers a capable administrator who has brought peace and prosperity to the people.
In this remote, impoverished region, the people live in comfort, with full stomachs, plenty of clothes, and a good standard of living for all.
Roads, factories, shampoo, and body wash are all things they have never heard of before.
The empress is delighted, but the man responsible turns out to be the most corrupt official in the Qi Kingdom.
He takes bribes from everyone, openly accepts gifts, and sells official positions.
He even runs brothels and gambling houses.
There’s nothing he won’t get involved in!
Empress: “I must have this man killed!”
Ministers: “Your Majesty, you mustn’t! He has rendered world-shaking service and earned the people’s support.”
Empress: “...So there really is someone in this world I can’t do anything about?”
A bunch of illogical stuff
