Introduction to the plot of Beijing Opera "Hai Rui Dismissed from Office"
Xu Jie, the cabinet secretary of the Ming Dynasty, retired in his later years and returned to his hometown. His son Xu Ying occupied the people's land in a high position, which made Zhao Yushan's son very angry and took Zhao's granddaughter Xiaolan away. Xiaolan's mother Hong went to the county to sue. The county magistrate Wang took bribes and perverted the law, killed Zhao Yushan and fired Hong.
Harry was transferred to the post of Governor Ying Tian, and when he learned of the unjust case, he reviewed the case. Xu Jie thought he was kind to Harry, interceded for his son, and offered to make amends. Harry pointed out that people who occupy land should be evicted and those who break the law should be punished. In anger, Xu Jie instigated the courtiers to blow up Harry, and the new governor Dai Fengxiang came to pick up the seal. Harry beheaded Xu Ying and the county magistrate before the press release.
