Chapter 584: Disadvantage

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“A year and a half is already a conservative estimate. It might take a few years

to truly apprehend them.”

“For the sake of a few thieves, we would have to transfer soldiers from the border region. If an issue arises there, the gains won’t outweigh the losses.”

“If the Emperor insists on deploying troops, issue a decree to transfer individuals from the local area.’

The Public House’s strategy was well-conceived. The individuals transferred from the local areas lacked significant combat experience, making them easy targets for elimination. Moreover, mobilizing people from the local area would constime.

The process of sending people from the capital to the designated location would take around ten days. Once they arrived at Shanglin, an additional ten days would pass.

As a month passed, the Public House intended to inform those in the mountains to prepare for the elimination of these individuals in one swift move, undermining Su Bin and the emperor.

However, before they could finalize their approach, Su Bin’s third memorial arrived. While the Public House didn’t consider the situation particularly serious, they favored a temporary transfer method. In response, they promptly dispatched someone to deliver the message.

Soon after sending the letter, Su Bin’s fourth memorial arrived. On the Public House’s end, they had achieved a significant victory in encircling the bandits. More than a hundred prisoners were now detained in the government office’s prison, awaiting representatives from the capital to receive them.

It was at this point that the Public House realized they had underestimated the impact of Su Bin’s hero post and his luck. He had effectively leveraged individuals from the martial arts world to earn significant merit for himself, causing a silent loss for the Public House.

To mitigate the situation, they suppressed Su Bin’s memorial and swiftly dispatched representatives to Shanglin Prefecture. Their goal was to reach the emperor before Su Bin and erase any confessions that could prove detrimental to the Public House.

Two days later, the Public House presented Su Bin’s memorial to the emperor. Delighted, the emperor sought to transfer Su Bin back to the capital immediately. However, the Public House intervened, advising caution.

“Your Majesty, Governor Su has just arrived in Shanglin Prefecture and is off to a promising start. It would be hasty to transfer him back so soon. There’s no guarantee the next governor will be as effective.”

“Why not allow Governor Su to remain there until everything in Shanglin

Prefecture is stabilized? We can always transfer him back later. Besides, only

Governor Su seems capable of handling those ruthless bandits!”

This counsel served as a subtle reminder to the emperor about Su Bin’s capabilities and hinted that he might have influential backers.

While the Public House considered the possibility that the Third Prince and the General Manor had supported Su Bin, internal discussions led them to deem it unlikely. They reasoned that if the General Manor were involved and discovered that one of the significant bandit nests was the Public House’s training base, it could lead to a major controversy. To preempt this, they promptly reported the news directly to the emperor.

However, this wasn’t the reality.

In fact, Su Bin had omitted any mention of his inquiries to the captives in his memorial.

This showcased Su Bin’s cleverness.

The emperor found the Public House’s reasoning convincing and decided to reward Su Bin instead.

The treasures and rewards were dispatched to Shanglin Prefecture by an imperial envoy.

The representatives sent by the Public House, however, were already a step ahead. They traveled tirelessly, reaching Shanglin Prefecture a few days later..
