Unaware that Su Bin intended to overturn Chen Lin’er’s case, Ms. Zhang only discovered it when Liu Dazhuang arrived at her residence with the bailiffs.

A crowd gathered to witness the unfolding events, but they kept a safe distance, fearing Ms. Zhang’s potential retaliation.

The mere utterance of a word from Ms. Zhang to her brothers could spell disaster for anyone daring to approach.

Liu Dazhuang, holding the token, declared, “Ms. Zhang, please accompany us to the court!”

Ms. Zhang scoffed, “I am not at your beck and call!”

Liu Dazhuang’s expression darkened. “Then, don’t blus for resorting to force!”

With arrogance, Ms. Zhang retorted, “Dare you lay a finger on me!”

Undeterred, Liu Dazhuang discarded restraint and commanded, “Attack!”

Six bailiffs advanced, subduing Ms. Zhang. Despite her initial resistance and scratching, her efforts were futile against the collective strength of the six men.

Furious, she shouted and berated, “Release me! Do you want to die?”

“Fine! You’re not afraid of death, huh? Just wait. I remember all your names. I’ll make you regret this!”

However, Liu Dazhuang asserted, “We’re following orders!”

Ms. Zhang continued her tirade. “Orders? Do you think I’ll spare you just because you say that? Mark my words, you’ll be the first to suffer!” Turning green, Liu Dazhuang silenced Ms. Zhang by stuffing a rag into her mouth.

“Take her away!”

“Yes!” they responded, dragging Ms. Zhang to the government office.

Upon learning of Governor Su’s intention to overturn Chen Lin’er’s case, Liu Dazhuang and his companions began to feel a sense of unease.

Reversing Chen Lin’er’s case inevitably meant punishing Ms. Zhang.

Punishing Ms. Zhang would undoubtedly incur the wrath of the mountain bandits—a perilous prospect.

The consequences ranged from losing their lives to the potential annihilation of their entire families.

While a month’s salary could sustain their households, safeguarding their families’ lives was of equal importance.

Approaching Su Bin, they offered counsel, “Unveiling Chen Lin’er’s case will surely anger the mountain bandits. Governor, please reconsider!”

Nevertheless, Su Bin had already resolved to proceed, dismissing their advice.

They recounted to Su Bin the atrocities committed by the mountain bandits and the fear they instilled.

“All prior governors dared not provoke them. By avoiding provocation, they ensured their safety. Those who dared to provoke invariably met a fatal end!”

The more they spoke, the more incensed Su Bin became. “In that case, we can eradicate the scourge for the people! We can eliminate the threat to the nation!”

“If you fear personal repercussions, you’re free to resign immediately and return home. Your monthly wages will be calculated based on the days worked!”

“Henceforth, anyone dissuadingwill be considered to have resigned!”

No one dared to dissuade Su Bin any further. Exchanging glances, they decided to confer privately and devise a plan.

Su Bin addressed them sternly, “If anyone takes leave or arrives late tomorrow, they will be automatically dismissed!”

“Once judged to have resigned, there’s no possibility of reinstatement. Consider your choices carefully!”

“As constables, fear of criminal elements is unacceptable. Such individuals are unworthy of being constables!”

It marked the first tSu Bin had rebuked them so harshly.

Liu Dazhuang and the others convened to strategize.

Sbelieved that Governor Su was distinct from his predecessors. Perhaps he genuinely possessed the capability to eradicate the mountain bandits, and following him could lead to a promising future.

Others felt powerless to impede his course.

“He’s the governor, and his family is wealthy. Who’s to say if he’s already accepted bribes? When the tcomes, he might relocate and leave us to bear the consequences.”

“I’m not willing to take any risks. I’d rather not remain a constable..”
