Prefect, so it’s only natural he’d grant permission!” “Some people are clueless about their place, huh?” “Can’t you see?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Deputy Prefect back, someone is feeling uneasy!” “Heh, I agree!” Jia Heming’s face flushed with frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That was in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Shao is the Prefect Lord now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We follow Lord Shao’s directives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any issues with that?” “Of course, there’s no problem,” Deputy Prefect Guan responded leisurely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll indeed follow Lord Shao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, we don’t have to be excessively rigid, do we?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the rules are reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’re on the same side, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you’re so serious, who are you targeting, and what are your intentions?” “I don’t have any ulterior motives!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just—” “If you don’t, then let’s talk less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can’t we maintain a friendly atmosphere?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Deputy Prefect, what’s wrong with me looking at the account book?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Hu is right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can confidently say that if I inform Lord Shao, he won’t deny me the right to review it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just a matter of phrasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using a chicken feather as an arrow is not entirely inaccurate!” Laughter erupted from those around Deputy Prefect Guan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Heming, Scribe Fang, and the others exchanged frustrated glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Lord Shao was absent at the moment, making a big fuss out of a trivial matter wouldn’t be wise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deputy Prefect Guan reveled in his smugness, and Scribe Hu, convinced of his righteousness, glared at Scribe Fang, demanding, “Scribe Fang, what are you waiting for?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hurry up and bring the ledger to the Deputy Prefect!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why hesitate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can’t the Deputy Prefect control you?” Scribe Fang gritted his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deputy Prefect, please forgive me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t dare defy Lord Shao’s earlier instructions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please don’t make it difficult for me, Deputy Prefect!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once you obtain Lord Shao’s approval, I’ll promptly hand over the account book!” “You stubborn fool!” In front of the onlookers, Deputy Prefect Guan erupted in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trapped in a challenging situation, he forcefully pushed Scribe Fang aside and ordered his trusted aide to snatch the key, open the door, and retrieve the ledger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just a ledger, a mere glimpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could Lord Shao possibly take it seriously?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the presence of so many witnesses, if Deputy Prefect Guan didn’t retaliate, it would set a precedent for anyone in the government office to challenge his authority without consequence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What would become of his standing then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What prestige would he retain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scribe Fang, Jia Heming, and the others were eager to intervene and halt the unfolding

had grown accustomed to their tyrannical ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their influence permeated the entire government office, making even the Prefect Lord powerless against them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They claimed the lion’s share of benefits, leaving the scraps for the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the arrival of the new Prefect Lord, however, their manipulative tactics failed to sway him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deputy Prefect Guan, undeterred, attempted to establish dominance upon his return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his surprise, Lord Shao skillfully navigated the situation, refusing to succumb to his attempts at control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deputy Prefect Guan insisted on his recovery, showing indifference to other matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Lord Shao didn’t yield to his demands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, realizing that additional benefits were unattainable, their frustration and anger were
