Transmigrated to the Great Ming Dynasty, I became Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the Carpenter Emperor. Well then, I'll hide behind the scenes; I'll take the blame, and you all go die.
In this way, there will be fewer things to do in the court, and the ministers will be happy about it.
While the capital was in turmoil, a county magistrate far away in Henan was preparing to make a big move.
You should know that it doesn’t take too long for the news from the court to reach Henan. Although there was a lot of turmoil in the court before, Henan was not greatly affected. After all, it is far away and cannot affect here.
However, the news still came through. Everyone knew that the capital was in chaos. His Majesty had killed many people and praised Xunzi. It seemed to be a big deal.
The news was true and false, and it was difficult to distinguish at first. However, it was normal for local officials to not interfere in the affairs of the capital, let alone a small county magistrate.
However, when a piece of news came, the magistrate became excited.
The news was that the court was going to open up the secret memorial system, allowing court officials to write secret memorials directly to the emperor. After receiving this news, the county magistrate had been paying close attention to this matter.
The reason was very simple, because he wanted to file a complaint.
The magistrate wanted to sue none other than his immediate superior, Liao Zhong, the prefect of Henan Prefecture, for plundering land, extorting money from wealthy households, and imposing additional taxes.

"News has arrived from the capital." Li Fang came to the front of the hall and bowed slightly, saying, "The capital has officially begun to take action. The Tongzhengsi has already started selecting people. It is said that they are going to establish a new government office."
"Any secret report submitted by an official will be verified and investigated by this new yamen. Once the evidence is conclusive, they will come down and arrest the person."
"This office will not be affiliated with the six ministries, nor even go through the cabinet. It can directly report to His Majesty. It is said that it will be established soon."
After hearing this, the magistrate stood up suddenly, laughed and said, "Great, great, this is really great! We have finally waited for this day!"
"After such a long time in Luoyang, I, Chen Qiyu, can finally vent my anger on behalf of the people of Luoyang!"
Li Fang looked at Chen Qiyu with some concern, and said hesitantly, "Sir, the government office has just been established, and we don't know what the future holds. Should we wait a little longer?"
