Wang Youbao explained, “On the surface, He Ba had no relationship with Sun Beiwei, but in reality, he was one of Sun Beiwei’s men and worked for him, committing numerous evils in the town over the years with Sun Beiwei’s support from behind. Sun Beiwei, relying on the power of his brother-in-law, Official Zhao, had nearly absolute control over the Sixteen Town, even causing several deaths. Official Zhao was corrupt and abused the law, serving those who offered him benefits and arbitrarily sending those who crossed him to prison, covering up the murder cases caused by Sun Beiwei. Some cases that couldn’t be suppressed, he would just find a scapegoat to protect Sun Beiwei. And all this, the County Magistrate was unaware of. Somehow, the provincial official personally came down to investigate, and if the County Magistrate had not been just and honest all along, he definitely would have been implicated by Zhao and the others.”
