In such a scenario, the pride of the three influential clans would only soar higher.
Shao Yunduan reorganized the transportation plan for the rice seeds and displayed documents at the city gates.
These documents carried a stern condemnation of the mountain bandits who had plundered the rice seeds. The language was forceful, accusing them of harming the common people of Anze Prefecture with heartless actions. The documents demanded the swift return of the seized rice seeds, warning of severe consequences if they refused.
Shao Yunduan was determined to settle the score.
The document swiftly circulated to the three mountain bandit strongholds. While a few individuals felt a pang of conscience and unease, the majority treated it with disdain. Mockery and laughter echoed, even from the major families inside and outside the city.
"I was curious about Lord Shao's response, but is this it? Hahahaha, what a joke!"
