Chapter 247

They would actually hope these factions kill each other off, preferably to the last man.

Of course, this only applies to the situation among the major factions.

If any faction or individual dares to infringe upon imperial court interests or kill imperial court officials, it will draw the court's attention, prompting them to send personnel to handle it!

If the local city lord cannot resolve these cases, they are reported to the local Xuan Shui Wei outpost.

Aside from these special cases,

the prefect's primary duty is still to balance the power between the local aristocratic families and sects, preventing any trouble from arising.
