Henyee Translations After Deputy Prefect Guan took a break, more than half of the officials scheduled to work that day applied for leave, with even the bailiffs making only sporadic appearances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the disruption, three groups of people showed up to file lawsuits on the same day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before heading to court for the trial, Shao Yunduan had someone leave the necessary documents for him to review.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These individuals had all been influenced by Deputy Prefect Guan’s bribes, making them reluctant to simply leave without causing a commotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Shao Yunduan, being the Prefect, was not bound by any rule that mandated immediate interrogation upon receiving legal documents, even with a promotion looming in the next ten days or half a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exceptions were only made for murder cases or large-scale armed conflicts resulting in significant casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deputy Prefect Guan, audacious as he might be, wouldn’t dare to entangle himself in a murder case, knowing it would jeopardize his position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shao Yunduan had a steadfast stance, and any attempt to create a disturbance would result in public punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This impasse led to a temporary halt in the case trial, much to the disdain of Deputy Prefect Guan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shao Yunduan’s resolute demeanor frustrated him, but there was little he could do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite Anze Province’s unique circumstances, the absence of numerous officials from the office would inevitably take its toll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deputy Prefect Guan smirked, realizing that Shao Yunduan’s authority as Lord Prefect might not hold much sway in Anze Prefecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The title seemed less influential than he had initially thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless onlookers eagerly anticipated Shao Yunduan’s next move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Shao Yunduan remained unfazed by the scrutiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His primary concern was the upcoming spring plowing, and having made all necessary preparations, he was unperturbed by the surrounding chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Imperial Court had always maintained a laissez-faire attitude towards Anze Province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merely finding officials willing to serve in this remote region was considered a commendable feat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as there was no rebellion causing widespread loss of life, the Court viewed everything else as trivial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shao Yunduan aimed to restructure the constables and third-class officers in one sweeping move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scribes, albeit important, were replaceable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the limited scholarly presence in Anze Province, finding substitutes for resigning scribes was feasible, even though it might initially lead to a manpower shortage and increased workload.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His primary concern, however, rested on the bailiffs and constables—the armed forces he could directly control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was crucial that they remained under his influence, staffed by individuals loyal to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Notably, Zheng Sangge, Wu Guan, Yang Mu, Sun Bai, Sun Qian, and others were already part of his trusted circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this strategy in mind, Shao Yunduan promptly signed the necessary documents and directed the bailiffs to deliver them to those currently on leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He mandated their return to duty the following day, emphasizing that if anyone needed to reapply for leave, they must do so in person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By avoiding such responsibility, an official risked open disrespect towards his superior, making him unsuitable for the state office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such cases, the Prefect would display mercy by providing an additional two months’ salary, urging the individual to promptly leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deputy Prefect Guan was well aware of these developments and couldn’t help but sneer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Shao’s actions were intriguing—he bypassed the scribes and directed his frustration towards the bailiffs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps he understood that the scribes wouldn’t easily yield to his demands.\u003C\u002Fp>",586,"2026-06-03T12:01:10.139Z","2026-06-03T12:01:10.533Z",1,"novelbin.me","c3ffc89e7d9ddcda7829215bfe6ab1f5a6f65f567c09af03fb4f937335f5923c","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1684","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-1682",2438,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fspringtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-cover.jpg"]
