If he replaces them with someone he trusts, wouldn't those other people lose their chance?
Over the next day, the Imperial Guards searched Magistrate Li's house and found taxes that shouldn't have been paid.
The amount is indeed enormous.
Ultimately, Zhu Yunwen decided that the government should return all the excess taxes collected to the people.
The government then posted notices to spread the news, and the people were quite incredulous when they heard the news.
