Su Wenxiu raised a brow, asking, "Are you going to appoint a new county magistrate now?"
Su Binglan knew he was doubtful, so she explained, "I had Su Shiba do some investigating. I also looked through some information. The person I'm choosing is worthy of being Yang County's magistrate."
"Since you said so, this person must be of good character and will work for the people."
Su Binglan said, "He prioritizes justice and doesn't cling to the powerful or harm the commoners. He's also knowledgeable. Since he doesn't depend on influential families, he isn't greedy or takes bribes.
"That was why those evil merchants did not tolerate him. Those guys even joined forces to suppress the person I'm choosing as the new magistrate."
Su Wenxiu's heart skipped a beat when he heard that. "How is he doing now if the merchants went after him?"
Su Binglan said coldly, "They broke his fingers and made him mute. He lives in the mountain forests now."
