Xiao Chengye was reborn.

He returned ninety days before the entire Huguo Duke's household was sentenced to execution.

He tried to persuade his father to stay away from court politics and give up his power, but all he got in return was a slap.

He announced in public, “I’m going to be a corrupt official,” and embarked on a path of self-sabotage and slander.

He seized farmland, and the common people knelt to thank him as “Your Excellency, the Just Magistrate.”

He formed a faction, and his allies recommended him for an official post at court.

He embezzled funds, and the emperor waved a hand: “Reward him!”

Looking at the room full of gold bestowed by the emperor, Xiao Chengye completely broke down:

“I just want to be a corrupt official. Why is it so hard?!”

Reading the secret report, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled meaningfully:

“Keep an eye on him. I want to see just how far this brat can go.”

Ninety days later, the Lan Yu case erupted, and the streets ran red with the blood of the court's meritorious officials.

Only the “corrupt heir” of the Huguo Duke's household was sent a Ten-Thousand-People Umbrella by the weeping, cheering citizens of the entire city.

Xiao Chengye: ???

I really just want to be a corrupt official!
