Inside the great hall of the Black Stone County Government.
At this moment, the one sitting at the head of the great hall was not the County Magistrate of Black Stone County but a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in luxurious clothes, his face full of arrogance.
The current County Magistrate of Black Stone County, Liu Xuezhen, was sitting below with a helpless and frustrated expression on his face.
Liu Xuezhen, also in his forties, had graduated with a third-class degree and ranked near the bottom in that year's imperial examination.
Furthermore, he came from a poor family, with no money to tip the officials at the Ministry of Personnel, so he ended up assigned to Black Stone County.
His situation was somewhat similar to his predecessor, Lin Wenzheng, but while Lin Wenzheng held resentment towards the Court, Liu Xuezhen didn't mind as much.
