Chapter 1690: Who Can Take It?
Editor: Henyee Translations Shao Yunduan seamlessly assumed control of the constables and bailiffs in the court, entrusting Sun Bai, Sun Qian, and Zheng Sangge with the responsibility of reassigning and training the new recruits, promising a swift transformation.
Meanwhile, the 30 individuals who had left the court harbored regret but dared not hold animosity towards Shao Yunduan.
The Lord of the Prefect proved to be formidable and not to be trifled with.
There was no justification for resentment, and any lingering hatred within their ranks was confined and ineffectual.
After the stern lesson given to the eight instigators, they were thoroughly frightened into submission.
The remaining dissenters lacked the courage to act recklessly.
Despite their reluctance to give up, a collective movement emerged as they sought Deputy Prefect Guan for redress.
Instigated by his previous encouragement, they now demanded an explanation and pensation.
Formerly revered, Deputy Prefect Guan found himself surrounded and targeted by the very individuals he had sought to manipulate against Shao Yunduan.
Frustration and anger overwhelmed Deputy Prefect Guan, who now faced the consequence of his own machinations.
The assertiveness of the thirty individuals, each voicing their grievances, tormented him.
Mrs.
Guan, frightened by the motion, took refuge in the bedroom, venting her anger through gritted teeth.
The turmoil caused by these disgruntled individuals was enough to drive anyone to the brink.
Deputy Prefect Guan found himself in a sorry state, unable to deny his role in instigating the situation.
The disgruntled individuals, fueled by anger, sought him out for retribution.
However, when it came to pensating them, Deputy Prefect Guan was resistant.
He deemed these moners foolish for mishandling a straightforward task and implicating him.
The idea of pensating them seemed ludicrous to him, and he was unwilling to part with his accumulated wealth to appease their grievances.
Expressing his frustration, Deputy Prefect Guan sternly reprimanded the group, asserting that Lord Shao’s recruitment efforts were merely a facade.
He urged them to maintain posure, assuring them that he could influence Lord Shao on their behalf.
Despite initial skepticism, Deputy Prefect Guan, wielding his authority, used a bination of persuasion and coercion to convince the majority to leave.
Their reluctance to abandon the stable jobs and a lingering hope that Deputy Prefect Guan’s assurances might hold true contributed to their hesitant departure.
However, a handful of individuals at the back harbored resentment and launched an attack on Deputy Prefect Guan.
Unconvinced by his promises and aware of his deceit, they were not swayed by his attempts to manipulate the situation.
