Threatening a man's wife and grandfather right in front of his own face—how is that any different from slapping him in the gut? Zhao An knew he had to step up and fight these corrupt elements in the Grain Transport Yamen to the end.
"It is true that the Viceroy of Grain Transport holds the Imperial command and insignia, but I am the Canal Inspectorate Censor, serving as the Emperor's eyes and ears on this mission! If you have the gall, feel free to dispose of me, a seventh-rank official, while you're at it."
If they couldn't, then Zhao An would have to exercise his legitimate right to file a formal report. "You there—whoever you are—state your names. Spare me the trouble of checking your work permits. I truly want to see who gave you the courage to show such neglect for the masses—no, such neglect for a local official!"
