章 1686: Ask Deputy Prefect Guan

Constable Ding and Constable Yu were considered Deputy Prefect Guan's trusted aides, along with a few other individuals who displayed notable competence.

The remaining bailiffs, skeptical of Lord Shao's commitment to a lengthy tenure in the region, anticipated working under Deputy Prefect Guan in the future, leading them to naturally align with him. However, it wouldn't be accurate to claim they were truly loyal or shared a common adversary with Deputy Prefect Guan.

To their surprise, Lord Shao appeared genuinely committed to the changes.

While the job's salary wasn't exceptionally generous, it wasn't meager either. Additionally, being associated with a public office brought social recognition, enhancing one's prestige in the community. The abrupt loss of this opportunity was disheartening, leaving them in a state of anxiety.
