A feeling of powerlessness came over me.

County Magistrate Yang had experienced this feeling firsthand when a group of dandies were causing trouble in the red-light district of Jixiang County. He didn't know who these dandies had offended, but their wallets had been missing several times in a row, vanishing in broad daylight without anyone noticing. And every time, it was the same story!

He almost turned the entire Jixiang County upside down, but he neither found the stolen goods nor caught the thief.

Those guys only remember to eat and not to be beaten, and they have no memory. They can't pay the price in the brothel, and they have lost more than once, but they dare to go again.

Later, the people in the red-light district all recognized them, and when they saw them going there, they would not let them in.

The guys smashed things up and left cursing.

But even though these troublemakers had left Jixiang County, the case of their lost money and personal belongings remained unsolved! County Magistrate Yang secretly investigated for a long time, but still had no clue and felt completely powerless.

At this moment, facing the case of the imperial envoy's disappearance, the familiar feeling of powerlessness in his heart appeared again.

This time, I'm afraid it won't end well. I'll have to put in a lot of effort and maybe even have to write a memorial to defend myself.

After all, the imperial edict for the beauty pageant was also lost along with the imperial envoy!

Although County Magistrate Yang was a little anxious and angry, his anxiety was limited.

The emperor has been making a lot of stupid moves recently, and he hasn't attended court properly for quite some time. Not only has he been bothering his old confidants all day long, he is also dissatisfied with the harem and is obsessed with arranging the selection of concubines.

It is estimated that he will be slammed in the face by the ministers in the court soon! And they will not be able to take care of him!
