"What are your thoughts?" After receiving the imperial edict, Yang Chuxia entered the room, her face grim with cold.
"So many people disappeared in Quanya County back then, yet there was no imperial edict stating heads would roll if the case couldn't be cracked. What kind of situation is this? Could it be that you were the one who made those people disappear? Enough is enough. After this matter is settled, you will resign, and we will go home. What's so great about being a County Magistrate? It costs not only silver but also so much effort, and there's not a single benefit. Not to mention, you did so much for Mianyang, but what's the outcome? If things go wrong, you could lose your head? It's as if you hid those people yourself. I'm telling you, if the case isn't cracked by May and someone comes to arrest you, I will immediately tie up a hundred girls and kill them! It's better to be guilty of a real crime than to bear an unfounded charge."
