Chapter 584 -584, Persuasion Successful (5 Updates)
He had skills, yet nowhere to apply them. As a Staff Officer for the Town Chief of a small town, he could only scrape by.
However, with the saying that it’s good to bask in the shade of a big tree, with the Town Chief to rely on, his son was able to open a shop of a modest size in town, and his daughter married into a good family.
For this reason, the advisor was still very dedicated.
If the Town Chief had discussed this matter with him last night, he would have certainly advised Meng Town Chief to tackle it from a different angle.
“Advisor, please do tell!” Meng Town Chief was eager to learn.
“My lord has mentioned that Miss Xie is backed by Prince Kan. Since she is considered Prince Kan’s person and has now arrived in Gaocheng County, do you think the deeds of Sun County Governor’s Family can remain concealed?”
Meng Town Chief was startled.
Naturally, they couldn’t remain hidden.
“Some things are clear as day; karma does not lag behind. Since they have done it, they have to pay back sooner or later. It can’t stay buried forever. Now that Miss Xie has come to Gaocheng County, do you think Prince Kan will come?”
The Advisor sipped his tea, “Even if Prince Kan doesn’t come to Gaocheng County, with Miss Xie staying in Gaocheng County, wouldn’t she be aware of the town’s situation? Given your description of her, she seems to be a woman of justice at heart. Therefore, if she comes to know about past incidents in Gaocheng County, she will surely speak to Prince Kan about it, and eventually, these bandits…”
The Advisor felt that it was only a matter of time before the Sun Family was doomed, and the position of County Governor would definitely become vacant.

As for Prince Kan, as a legitimate royal son of Dazhou Kingdom, dismissing a County Governor and appointing a new one was just a matter of words.
“My lord, fortune favours the bold. This is your opportunity,” said the Advisor again.
Once all the bandits were captured, the remaining issues would actually not require the Town Chief at all.
The guards accompanying Miss Xie were Prince Kan’s men; against the thoroughly wicked bandits, even killing them would provoke no complaints. One would simply praise, “Prince Kan’s teaching is admirable; even his subordinates are full of righteousness.”
They would be able to remove a blight for the people.
Meng Town Chief was still hesitant.
The Advisor said softly, “If the my lord handles the bandit situation well, taking it one step further is not impossible!”
One step further?
This prospect was indeed tempting for Meng Town Chief.
“But what if…” Meng Town Chief spoke quietly.
“My lord, this is what you must do next. Now that you have confirmed that the lady is Prince Kan’s confidante, Miss Xie, you do not need to be overly flattering or nervous. You just need to behave normally, wait upon her orders, and remember that too much is as bad as too little!”
Being overly eager can result in failure, while being too nervous can prevent you from presenting yourself well.
A normal demeanor, a composed attitude, is precisely what’s required.
“What should I say when I go over later?” Meng Town Chief asked.
“Just say that you have come to a realization. As the fatherly official, how could you stay out of it for the sake of your own life? First, gather the people together by yourself, then go to inquire alone. After getting clear information, head back to the Governor’s Office to lead the assistance!”
That way, you wouldn’t be stealing someone else’s credit.
And you wouldn’t be left behind either.
For Meng Town Chief, to be able to connect with someone close to Prince Kan was already an enormous stroke of luck.
“I’ll go right away!”
Even if he was heading to the inn, Meng Town Chief still freshened up a bit and brought along a servant boy, driving a small green-clothed carriage pulled by an old horse that couldn’t run fast.
Meng Town Chief felt a bit nervous and somewhat fearful.
Upon reaching the inn’s entrance, he found the inn’s doors tightly closed. As he got off the carriage, the shopkeepers from either side immediately came out, “We’ve seen the official; you’ve arrived!”
“Hmm, why is the inn not open today?” Meng Town Chief asked.
