The Corrupt Officials of the Ming Dynasty Pulled the Coffin to Death and Remonstrated, and Lao Zhu Went Crazy

The time traveler Guo Nian was appointed as the magistrate of Danyang County. During the flood, he accepted relief money from wealthy businessmen to build embankments to save people. However, he was falsely accused of corruption, and he and his mentor were sentenced to beheading. A vision from the sky at the execution ground suspended the execution. Guo Nian dragged his coffin to the imperial city to die and remonstrated, and stood in the snow all night to express his will. The prince repeatedly begged for mercy, and the emperor sent officials to conduct on-site inspections and confirmed that Guo Nian had not embezzled any money and that his family was poor. People came to Beijing with umbrellas to petition, and Guo Nian bluntly pointed out the shortcomings of official administration during the meeting of the three departments. The emperor made a brief visit to Danyang and witnessed Guo Nian's actions to benefit the people. He suddenly realized that he decided to pardon and re-employ him.
