The Wronged Soul of King of Huainan

However, the county magistrate's good intentions ultimately went to waste.

These two soldiers were not from Shouyang County, but from the prefecture. Not only were they not directly under Shouyang County's jurisdiction, they had also been sent out here to guard a tomb because of Shouyang
