Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Su Bin dispatched someone to retrieve Wang Nian’s confession and tasked Mr. Chen with locating Chen Lin’er’s husband’s cousin, Wang San.

Wang San, brimming with enthusiasm, pledged his full cooperation with Su Bin and the others, committing to anything required to achieve justice for his cousin’s family.

Su Bin enlisted Mr. Chen’s assistance in drafting a complaint. Subsequently, he headed to the government office to beat the drum and advocate for Chen Lin’er.

On the day Wang San presented himself at the government office to drum up support for his cause, a crowd gathered to witness the spectacle.

In adherence to tradition, the individual beating the drum and proclaiming injustice had to endure 30 strokes on the back first.

Su Bin, respecting the established norms, emphasized to Liu Dazhuang and the others that the hits must be administered gently.

Upon the completion of the 30 strokes, bystanders were left in disbelief.

The new governor seemed genuinely committed to aiding Chen Lin’er in overturning her case.

Wang San, filled with elation, recognized the governor as a man true to his word, anticipating that the following actions would hinge on the governor’s strategies.

Kneeling down, Wang San delivered the chess piece, exclaiming, “A wronged case here!”

This marked Su Bin’s inaugural case management. He threw the doors of the government office wide open, allowing the spectators to enter and observe closely, as long as they refrained from causing disturbances.

Mr. Chen perused Wang San’s statement on the spot, making it clear to everyone that Wang San intended to sue Ms. Zhang, the wife of Wang Nian.

Ms. Zhang had conspired with Wang Nian and the nefarious figures in the mountains to orchestrate the massacre of his second uncle’s family. Furthermore, she had seized control of his second uncle’s residence and business, a situation Wang San found intolerable. Su Bin inquired, “Besides the evidence, do you have any additional proof?” Wang San presented Wang Nian’s confession.

“This is a statement penned by Wang Nian before his demise. Governor, please review it.”

Mr. Chen handed Su Bin the confession.

A look of rage crossed Su Bin’s face. “How dare she, Ms. Zhang! Go to Wang Nian’s residence and apprehend Ms. Zhang for questioning!”

“Yes!” resonated the robust response from the two lines of yamen officials. Subsequently, Liu Dazhuang led six bailiffs to apprehend the woman.

Whispers rippled among the spectators.

“Governor Su doesn’t appear to be acting. He genuinely intends to overturn Chen Lin’er’s case.”

“Governor Su, perhaps you’re unaware that the mountain bandits are not just ruthless but also arrogant.”

“Indeed, Ms. Zhang’s brothers are the favorites of the bandit leader, and Ms. Zhang and her husband act as their lackeys. Crossing them won’t go unanswered.”

“I beg to differ. Who is Governor Su? He even dares to offend a high-ranking official in the capital. Why would he fear mountain bandits?”

“Did you not notice? Since Governor Su assumed office, those mountain bandits have refrained from causing trouble. It indicates that Governor Su wields considerable influence.’

“That’s correct. Money indeed holds significant sway. Governor Su’s family is wealthy, and with the willingness to pay, they can enlist numerous individuals for assistance, wielding considerable influence.”

“I’ve heard that he’s already invited the foremost martial arts leader in the world to Shanglin.”

“Once the leader issues a command, heroes from all corners will converge on Shanglin!”

“Do you believe Governor Su would still harbor fear of the mountain bandits?” “It seems the reckoning has arrived for those mountain bandits this time!”

Upon hearing this news, elation swept through the crowd, prompting queries directed at the individual who shared the information.

“Where did you learn this? Is it credible?”

“Careful with your words; don’t raise our hopes needlessly.”

The informant raised their hand and took an oath. “I swear this is not baseless gossip! I heard it directly from Brother Wang and Brother Liu. If you doubt me, you can verify with them later!”

The individuals referred to as Brother Wang and Brother Liu were none other than Poxed Face Wang and Liu Dazhuang.

Now, skepticism vanished, and the gathered crowd no longer questioned the veracity of the information..
