Great Ming: I Told You to Seize Their Assets, So Why Did You Slaughter the Whole Court?

From the start, Fan Xiaobao was reduced to a pawn. A low-ranking Jinyiwei officer, he was sent to raid the mansion of a “righteous official” and take the blame. But he struck back, smashing apart a rosewood bookshelf with one slash and uncovering 1.2 million taels meant to bankroll a rebellion and buy the Ming Dynasty! The sky fell in an instant. The Donglin Party panicked, and the Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years grew desperate. To cover up this earth-shattering case, the court's grand officials joined forces and laid ten ambushes, determined to crush him like an insect. Faced with their inescapable trap, Fan Xiaobao smiled. “If the officials won't obey the law, then I'll settle things with my blade!” You scheme and plot in your factional struggles? I'll send you straight to the afterlife! You arrange secret assassinations in locked rooms? I'll climb a tower and scatter a blood-written letter, exposing the court's secrets to the whole world! You use your official authority to bully people? I'll take an imperial gold token south and chop off a second-rank official's head! Months later. The emperor stared at a blood-soaked, empty court and trembled on his dragon throne. “I only sent you to raid a house. How... how did you slaughter your way through the entire court?!”
