Su Xin was temporarily in charge of all matters in Jianghuai Province, and there were hardly any among those present who dared to butt heads with him.
Although they were once loyal to Wu Yuanchun, unlike the others in the Sky-Reaching Island's armory, they shared neither Wu Yuanchun's losses nor his victories. Wu Yuanchun even told them about his confidential negotiations with the White Lotus Sect.
But now that Wu Yuanchun was dead, why should they remain loyal to a dead man?
Moreover, some had other thoughts in their minds. Now that Su Xin had full authority over affairs in Jianghuai Province, should he decide to select a Chief Constable for Jianghuai Province in the future, they might be chosen from among them.
After all, everyone knew that the competent people under Su Xin were either still growing or already stationed elsewhere, making it impossible to find a fit person to serve as Chief Constable for Jianghuai Province.
