If the bandits were driven to fury and resorted to killing civilians as an act of revenge, who would bear the blame?
Let's observe if the commoners would direct their discontent towards none other than the Prefect!
The more Deputy Prefect Guan pondered over the situation, the more his frustration grew.
"… That wasn't my intention. I'm merely cautioning you, my Lord. Your impulsiveness could escalate matters beyond control. Do you not fear the consequences of letting things spiral like this?!"
Shao Yunduan sneered in response, "What's there to fear? Let me reiterate. As long as I am present in Anze Province, I won't depart easily. I won't tolerate the oppression of those bandits and the three prominent families. This is the domain of the court, not theirs."
"I understand the challenges, the uphill battle, but I'll face it head-on. I'll certainly overcome it!"
