In Chun'an County in the Ming Dynasty, Gao Hanwen was lured to the weaving workshop to watch silk because of a trap.At the same time, Hai Rui and Wang Yongji came to the dock to check the situation of the grain market, but unexpectedly met Qi Dazhu and other Chun'an disaster victims. They were dissatisfied that large households took the opportunity to buy farmers' fields at low prices and were bullied by the officers and soldiers of the Yamen.scene.Hai Rui angrily stopped the atrocities committed by the officers and soldiers, released Qi Dazhu, and promised the people that he would handle the disaster relief matters.
This incident aroused the anger of Zheng Michang and He Maocai.They attempted to frame the Chun'an victims who were released by Hai Rui for treason, and planned to let Hai Rui bring these wronged people to justice.In order to realize this conspiracy, He Maocai personally went to the prison to negotiate with the Japanese leader Jushiro Inoue in custody, in an attempt to induce the victims to buy food from the Japanese pirates.
At the same time, in order to frame Gao Hanwen, Shen Yishi ordered Yang Jinshui, the eunuch, to frame Gao Hanwen and Yun Niang for adultery while they were playing ancient songs, and forced Gao Hanwen to write down the evidence.After Hai Rui and Wang Yongji returned to the prefect's Yamen, they found that Gao Hanwen had not returned and realized that the matter might not be simple.Sure enough, Gao Hanwen looked abnormal when he came back, which aroused their suspicion.
The next day, Zheng Michang and He Maocai came up with an unaltered bill to change rice to mulberry in an attempt to force Gao Hanwen to sign.This bill was originally formulated to reform agricultural production methods and increase food production, but under the manipulation of Zheng MiChang and He Maocai, it became their tool to frame Hai Rui and Gao Hanwen.
