"That's right. Feng Chengxiu of the Qiankun Bureau has a status that's even a notch above the Lord Governor's. Without having righteousness on his side, the Lord Governor can't easily speak up!"
"Speak up!? Why should he speak up? It's not just that it's difficult for him to speak—even if it were easy, he shouldn't! In this matter, Chen Ping'an was the one in the wrong from the start! His methods were too extreme, causing this disaster! This is a good opportunity to teach Chen Ping'an a lesson! To make him change his reckless ways!"
"Wait... everyone, don't you think Chen Ping'an had his reasons? Put yourselves in his shoes. If someone came to the Garrison Commandant's Office, provoked us like that, injured one of our trusted subordinates, and declared they were going to arrest us... I doubt we would have handled it any better than Chen Ping'an did!"
Though some words were spoken in Chen Ping'an's defense, they were quickly drowned out by other voices.
