Li Yuanfang (1489 (Ji Younian)-1553), a native of Qin 'an, Gansu, was a minister of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty. He used to be Tongzhi of Dengzhou Prefecture and Tongzhi of Lu 'an Prefecture. The masterpiece An Ming Fu. Li Yuanfang was born in Gansu in 1489, became a juren in 18, and became the magistrate of Wanping at the age of 30. At that time, the whole imperial government was corrupt and incompetent in the court. Every day, the emperor thought about alchemy and immortality, and never thought about business. When he became the magistrate of Wanping County, three difficult cases occurred.
Case 1: A local citizen sued Zhanghou Yanling, Jianchang, for asking for war in other places without any reason, killing people in the village. Zhang Yanling is the uncle of this dynasty. He turned a blind eye to some vicious officials and ignored offending him. Li Yuanfang publicly announced his crime in class and demanded the return of all the land he had seized from the people. It was a real sensation when it came.
The second thing: Hui 'an Bo Zhangwei hid the court repeat offenders. Li Yuanfang not only asked him to hand over all the imperial prisoners of war, but also asked Zhang Wei to write a self-criticism letter.
Third, the East Factory maliciously framed seven people, including Zhang and others, and was sentenced to death. This case is even harder. Dongchang was the emperor's confidant, and powerful people were killed at any time. Everyone has no time to hide. Li Yuanfang recruited some people to help destroy the East Factory and planned to argue in front of the emperor. Later, Dongchang couldn't help but give up framing others, and the seven people who were framed in the end were spared the death penalty. Due to political geography, wanping county is mostly a senior official of the imperial court and a relative of the country, which leads to a relatively high crime rate here, and each character has a relatively large background. Li Yuanfang left three cases blank with fearless spirit. No, Li Yuanfang was over 500 years old at that time, and he didn't care about officialdom. He retired and became a teacher.
