Following the discussion, most chose to remain, while sopted out of their constable roles due to the fear of offending Ms. Zhang.
The prevailing sentiment, however, emphasized the importance of having a backbone as men. If Governor Su wasn’t afraid of potential consequences, why should they be?
A few adopted a wait-and-see approach, while Poxed Face Wang, the other two clerks and stewards, and the constables directly involved in Ms. Zhang’s apprehension chose to stay. They reasoned that even if they had to resign, it was acceptable given their active role in Ms. Zhang’s arrest.
Among the twenty-four constables, seven decided to quit, and only one of the new recruits left.
Liu Dazhuang found himself in an awkward position as the head of the bailiffs. Despite being the most capable and charismatic, he was taken aback that half of his chosen team valued their lives over courage.

These evaluations involved deliberately creating trouble or disputes to gauge their problem-solving abilities and character.
The remaining recruits were resilient individuals with unwavering determination.
Liu Dazhuang, wearing a grim expression, cautioned those on the brink of leaving, “You’re free to resign, but if I discover that you’ve leaked information, don’t blme for taking ruthless measures!”
He understood that sof these individuals had ties to the bandits, while others sought to appease Ms. Zhang.
Recognizing Liu Dazhuang’s formidable reputation, the departing individuals assured him in unison, “We absolutely won’t leak any information.”
Handing over the list of resignations to Su Bin, Liu Dazhuang watched as Su Bin perused the names, a smile forming on his face. “This is excellent. We can promptly weed out the unqualified individuals.”
“Remember, as constables, act accordingly!”
Su Bin then informed Liu Dazhuang and the others, “The world’s foremost martial arts leader, Xiao Hong, will arrive in Shanglin in a few days. Let’s not give the martial arts heroes a reason to mock us.”
Liu Dazhuang’s eyes widened. “Leader of the martial arts world? Xiao Hong? Coming to Shanglin? Along with other martial arts heroes?”
As someone well-versed in martial arts, Liu Dazhuang held a deep admiration for the martial arts heroes, particularly the leader of the martial arts world, Xiao Hong, who served as his idol.
Upon learning of Xiao Hong’s impending visit and the presence of martial arts heroes, Liu Dazhuang swiftly grasped the purpose of their arrival.
“They’ve been invited by the governor to deal with the mountain bandits, haven’t they?”
Su Bin’s smile confirmed Liu Dazhuang’s correct deduction.
With these formidable individuals in action, there was no longer any concern about eliminating the mountain bandits.

Governor Su had indeed orchestrated an impressive plan!
Liu Dazhuang’s resolve to stay beceven more steadfast. Unfazed by Ms. Zhang, they obediently followed Su Bin’s instructions.
As Ms. Zhang approached the government office, she entered with an air of arrogance.
“Kneel!”
The constables on both sides shouted in unison.
Resistant to kneeling, Ms. Zhang received a forceful kick from Liu Dazhuang, compelling her to kneel. The pain in her knees intensified, fueling her seething hatred toward Liu Dazhuang—wishing she could flay him alive. Similar sentiments extended to Su Bin.
Su Bin initiated the trial, during which Ms. Zhang adamantly refused to confess and persisted in asserting that Wang Nian’s confession was fabricated.
At that moment, the constable who had retrieved Wang Nian’s handwriting returned.
Upon comparison, the handwriting on the two pieces of paper proved to be identical..
