Emperor Deming despised such power-tripping behavior, but as long as it didn’t cross a line, he found it difficult to impose severe punishments. After all, while those fops were useless, their families still served the Imperial Court. Sometimes, making a decision required a careful weighing of pros and cons, but today, Emperor Deming clearly lacked that patience.
"Running horses through the streets and injuring people—hand this matter over to the Five Cities Patrol Brigade. I want the result by tomorrow. If anyone dares to interfere, once I find out, they will be punished without leniency!" Emperor Deming’s stance today was unyielding. The Five Cities Patrol Brigade was the agency responsible for maintaining order in the Capital, but the one thing the Capital had in abundance was officials. The power backing those fops was not to be underestimated; it would be difficult for the Five Cities Patrol Brigade to uncover the truth on its own, which was why he had deliberately applied pressure in the court.
Even if those officials wanted to meddle behind the scenes, they would have to think twice.
