The twenty-ninth year of Zhengde under the Zhou Dynasty.
Disaster struck from the heavens, and a severe drought ravaged Guanzhong.
The eight-hundred-mile stretch of the Qin River valley yielded no harvest in either autumn or summer.
Corpses littered the land as starving people fled in every direction.
Rumors spread that remnants of the witchcraft case from eight years ago were still at large.
The heavenly punishment was meant to rouse the current emperor.
Unless the remnants were eliminated, the disasters would not end.
Chang Shuirong, Vice Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, submitted an impeachment memorial against Xu Yi, the sixth prince.
Eight years later, the witchcraft case was brought up again.
