Shao Yunduan seamlessly assumed control of the constables and bailiffs in the court, entrusting Sun Bai, Sun Qian, and Zheng Sangge with the responsibility of reassigning and training the new recruits, promising a swift transformation.
Meanwhile, the 30 individuals who had left the court harbored regret but dared not hold animosity towards Shao Yunduan. The Lord of the Prefect proved to be formidable and not to be trifled with. There was no justification for resentment, and any lingering hatred within their ranks was confined and ineffectual.
After the stern lesson given to the eight instigators, they were thoroughly frightened into submission. The remaining dissenters lacked the courage to act recklessly.
Despite their reluctance to give up, a collective movement emerged as they sought Deputy Prefect Guan for redress. Instigated by his previous encouragement, they now demanded an explanation and compensation.
