Ye Jin transmigrated to the Hongwu era and became the county magistrate of Yingtian Prefecture’s Shangyuan County.
When he first took office, he was bound to the 9-to-5 system. He worked 9-to-5 every day, got off work on time, and had two days off!
Completing the mission would grant him the system reward.
However, this was the Hongwu Dynasty. The current emperor was the model emperor Zhu Yuanzhang who killed without blinking.
Did he think that Old Zhu’s guillotine wasn’t sharp enough to play ’nine to five’ under his hands?
Fortunately, Shangyuan County was a full 30 miles away from Yingtian City, which could barely be considered as ’the sky is high and the emperor is far’. Old Zhu probably wouldn’t know that I was slacking off for a while, right?!
However, who knew that one day, an old man who looked a little like Ye Jin came knocking on the door with a middle-aged man, questioning why Ye Jin was released from the yamen at five o’clock in the afternoon. Didn’t he know the sufferings of the people? Did officials have to serve the people through the stars and the moon?
Ye Jin thought,[The emperor didn’t give me overtime pay. Why should I work overtime?]
As soon as he said this, the old man was furious and wanted to throw Ye Jin into prison.
