I Embezzle a Billion Taels and Enrage Zhu Chongba from the Start

In the thirteenth year of Hongwu, on the eve of the Hu Weiyong case.

Huo Wujiu transmigrates to the Ming Dynasty and binds himself to the [System for Achieving Sainthood Through Death].

All he has to do is be sentenced to death by Zhu Yuanzhang for a legitimate reason, and he'll immediately become a saint, max out his level, and return to the modern world!

To get himself legally executed, Huo Wujiu embarks on a reckless campaign of self-destruction.

He embezzles a hundred million taels of silver, spends the night at a pleasure house, and openly curses Zhu Yuanzhang to his face during a grand court assembly!

“Zhu Chongba! You old bastard! If you've got the guts, execute my entire clan today!”

The officials tremble, all expecting to die.

But Zhu Yuanzhang unexpectedly awakens a System that can simulate the fate of the empire, and he can hear Huo Wujiu's thoughts!

Every time Old Zhu draws the imperial sword to cut someone down, the System sounds the alarm!

[Ding! If you kill this man, the Ming Dynasty will fall after two generations! If you spare him, all the realms will come to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty!]

At the same time, Old Zhu hears Huo Wujiu's thoughts:

[Come on, cut my head off! I'm in a hurry to go back and be an immortal. Your Ming Dynasty's paltry assets aren't worth a dog's glance!]

Zhu Yuanzhang shakes with rage and kicks over the imperial desk.

“Was Huo my beloved subject embezzling? No, he was holding on to my private treasury for me!”

“When he insults me, that's just frank advice!”

“Give the order: appoint Huo Wujiu Grand Secretariat of the Ming Dynasty, and arrange for Xu Da's daughter to marry him!”

The entire court is stunned. “Your Majesty, he's emptied the treasury!”

Huo Wujiu is at his wit's end too. “Old Zhu, are you out of your mind? I just want to die. Why are you giving me money and a beautiful woman?!”
