Deputy Prefect Guan remarked, “You can’t overlook this.
Being young and unfamiliar with local governance, you might not realize the unique dynamics of officials here compared to those in the capital.
Lord, officials in this region heavily rely on the lower-ranking officers to execute tasks.
If you proceed without proper explanation, won’t it disillusion everyone?
In the future, it might pose significant challenges!”
“Lord, it’s wise to reconsider your decision!”
Shao Yunduan sneered, questioning, “Deputy Prefect, are you offering advice or issuing a threat?”
Deputy Prefect Guan chuckled, “It’s advice out of goodwill, of course.
After all, I’m your assistant.
If there’s anything you’re uncertain about, it’s my duty to remind you.
That’s how collaboration works.”

“Thank you for your well-intentioned advice, Deputy Prefect Guan,” Shao Yunduan replied with a half-smile.
“I won’t yield to subordinates with malicious intent who defy my orders.
They have chosen their path, and they must face the consequences.
If anyone dares to cause trouble, let them try!”
Deputy Prefect Guan’s expression soured.
Suppressing his anger, he forced a smile.
“Since you’ve made up your mind, I have nothing more to say.”
Shao Yunduan nodded.
“You may leave.”
Holding back his frustration, Deputy Prefect Guan respectfully cupped his hands and exited, his face dark with displeasure.
Shao Yunduan issued an announcement, directing late officers to take over the responsibilities.
Those arriving within two days would receive two months’ salary, while those delayed beyond that period would forfeit the bonus.
Simultaneously, recruitment notices were posted throughout the process.
Shao Yunduan expanded the team by including Sun Bai, Sun Qian, Zheng Sangge, Wu Guan, Yang Mu, and seven or eight of Sun Bai and Sun Qian’s subordinates.
Sun Bai, Sun Qian, and Zheng Sangge were designated as constables, and Hang Xingshan, a constable, received a promotion.
The four of them assumed leadership roles, each bringing a few constables to carry out the tasks assigned.
It seemed like they had stirred up a hornet’s nest this time.
Not only were the bailiffs below agitated, but Constable Ding and Constable Yu were also visibly concerned.
Some sneaked around, while others made no attempt to conceal their unease, rushing to the back of the government office to seek Deputy Prefect Guan for guidance.
Deputy Prefect Guan felt overwhelmed, his thoughts in disarray, exhausted from managing the situation.
He hadn’t anticipated Shao Yunduan’s swift actions, leaving no room for maneuvering.
However, he remained skeptical that Shao Yunduan would actually terminate so many positions.
“Don’t be hasty.
Go back and wait patiently.
This Lord Prefect is bluffing!
Just observe.
He won’t endure for long.”
“Don’t fret; I won’t abandon you.
The law doesn’t punish the masses.
Don’t bow your heads now; otherwise, all your efforts will be in vain.”
“Let’s give it two more days.
Just these two days!”
“Recruit?
Hah, if he can’t find anyone, who else can he employ?”
“Isn’t it simple?
You’ve served as bailiffs for so long.
Don’t you know if the office can attract recruits?”
The words of Deputy Prefect Guan provided a sudden realization to everyone.
With sneers and newfound confidence, they departed.
Indeed, Deputy Prefect Guan’s assurance instilled confidence.
It seemed implausible that he would deceive such a large group.
In truth, many were beginning to regret their involvement secretly.
Not all of these troublemakers were Deputy Prefect Guan’s trusted aides.
Bribing individuals to be confidants required considerable effort and money, and these bailiffs were not in a position to demand such resources.
