Ming Dynasty: I can’t kill the first corrupt official in history?

In the tenth year of Hongwu of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang disguised himself as a rich merchant and went to Pei County to pursue his ancestral land.

He accidentally discovered that the people of Pei County were living in peace and contentment. There were also roads, residential areas, factories, and other unheard of methods.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy and thought that Meng Yin, the county magistrate here, was a capable minister who could govern the world.

However, he did not expect the next scene to make him dumbfounded.

This county magistrate had invested in gambling dens and brothels, becoming Pei County’s protective umbrella.

Accepting ten thousand taels of silver in public and giving him an official position, he didn’t avoid suspicion.

The backyard of the county government was filled with golden wine cups and glass products, looking rich and noble.

"Imperial Grandfather, you can’t kill him!" My descendants still need Meng Yin to assist them in taking the throne."
