Chapter 1725: Lord Shao Is a Bookworm Editor: Henyee Translations
In such a scenario, the pride of the three influential clans would only soar higher.
Shao Yunduan reorganized the transportation plan for the rice seeds and displayed documents at the city gates.
These documents carried a stern condemnation of the mountain bandits who had plundered the rice seeds.
The language was forceful, accusing them of harming the common people of Anze Prefecture with heartless actions.
The documents demanded the swift return of the seized rice seeds, warning of severe consequences if they refused.
Shao Yunduan was determined to settle the score.
The document swiftly circulated to the three mountain bandit strongholds.
While a few individuals felt a pang of conscience and unease, the majority treated it with disdain.
Mockery and laughter echoed, even from the major families inside and outside the city.
“I was curious about Lord Shao’s response, but is this it?
Hahahaha, what a joke!”
“The thunder roars, but the rain is a mere drizzle.
Lord Shao seems oblivious to the real situation in Anze Province.”
“Scholars, always preaching morality but lacking substance.
Lord Shao, do you truly believe you can deter those people?
Haha!”
“Exactly, just a bookworm!”
“Such a jest!”
“!”
The entire city anticipated the next move of the Prefect, only to be met with silence.
Laughter intensified, and some harbored secret disappointment.

The three families, in turn, breathed a silent sigh of relief.
It was good that Lord Shao was like this!
Yuezheng Xiao had not returned yet, extending his stay in Anze Province for a few more days.
Daily, he roamed around, urging his friends to befriend the local Young Masters.
Despite facing ridicule, he vehemently defended Shao Yunduan, offering comfort and expressing frustration at the apparent blindness of those mocking him.
Shao Yunduan, however, smiled and urged him not to be bothered.
He never concerned himself with unresolved matters.
His priority, outside of work, was to spend time with his wife.
Old Lady Fan, relishing Shao Yunduan’s defiant words, felt a mixture of happiness and slight regret, thinking she hadn’t vented enough anger.
Shao Yunduan remained unaware that the hijacking of his rice seeds was a consequence of his family’s revenge.
Thus, he failed to grasp the extent of his family’s influence evident in the incident.
A missed opportunity!
Upon seeing Shao Yunduan resolving the rice seed issue, Deputy Prefect Guan experienced a mix of anger and envy.
He hesitated, contemplating whether to step forward and fulfill his duties as Deputy Prefect.
If he stayed inactive, would the Lord of the Prefect still regard him with fear and need his assistance in the future?
As the rice seed matter was being resolved, the prestige of the Lord of the Prefect state was on the rise.
It became clear that Deputy Prefect Guan could not allow himself to be overshadowed.
Unexpectedly, another batch of rice seeds was stolen at this juncture.
Deputy Prefect Guan knew these people too well – if there was one incident, another would follow.
Especially considering the Lord of the Prefect’s issuance of loud but seemingly futile documents.
Were these mountain bandits to be underestimated?
Deputy Prefect Guan anticipated more attacks.
The wait to see if they would strike again was only a matter of time.
