The County Governor's Xiao Family
In the end, the County Governor's Mansion had no plans to send troops against Tengya Mountain.
Song Changming had only heard Liang Chuanshan mention that, over this matter, the civil officials and military generals within the County Governor's Mansion had actually held several heated discussions.
Some advocated sending troops to suppress the bandits, while others spoke out against it and proposed other plans.
It was not until the county governor, for reasons unknown, made the final decision and struck the gavel that the matter was settled and ultimately dropped.
Afterward, although they had no intention of sending troops to subjugate the mountain bandits, they still reinforced all four gates of the Prefecture City with heavy guards to prevent another incident like this.
Identity checks and information verification for those entering and leaving became far more meticulous.
At the same time, the daily duties of the Urban Patrol Guard Headquarters in the various districts, including Song Changming's, became somewhat more burdensome.
Not only did they have to intensify street patrols, but they also had to keep every street and alley under control, conduct thorough population checks from time to time, and investigate any suspicious person they found. They could even arrest them on the spot as suspects.
After the General Security Department issued a series of regulations and assignments, the results were indeed remarkable.
Although they did not find any more suspects connected to the bandit army, they caught quite a few petty thieves. Public order and the general atmosphere throughout the Prefecture City improved drastically.
Moreover, the earlier rounds of upheaval had already scattered most of the local gangs. For the common people below, this was unquestionably a good thing. At the very least, fewer people could bully and oppress them during this period.
