Chapter 126

Although the title of Grand Canal Affairs Assistant Commissioner sounds like the number two position in the Grain Transport Yamen, it is actually a civil service post, much like an ordinary staff member working in a Prefectural Hall or county office. It comes with neither a separate official residence nor dedicated security guards, and at most, his outings are carried out in a four-bearer official sedan chair. The only reason he is able to hold sway over the Green Gang is the deterrent effect of the fifth-rank official uniform he wears and the formidable backing of the Grain Transport Yamen. Strip away the official uniform and the government office, and what difference is there between Councillor Wu and an ordinary person? How do you deal with ordinary people? Naturally, you unleash the underworld.
