Magistrate Li knew that this was Xian Xieren's way to cause trouble in the fief which was under her control and governance. Everyone knew about the terrible drought that was going on in the country and yet Xian Xieren went ahead and increased the taxes.
She even placed more pressure on Li Wan under the pretext that her fief was doing better than the other fief but the truth was that Xian Xieren was forcing Li Wan to bow her head.
Unless Li Wan admitted defeat and revealed where Xian Zhenya was hiding, she would not leave Li Wan or the Big River Town as well as the rest of the villages that were connected to Li Wan.
As long as she suppressed Li Wan through bitter means by targeting the commoners sooner or later the anger of the commoners was going to burst.
Because of this Li Wan wanted to protect the commoners as much as she could.
Yu Dong was one of the few persons who could help her in this process, so how could Li Wan let her be wronged?
