Of course, Lord Liu didn't believe these ministers could quickly rebel against him and listen to this person's orders, turning around and tying everyone up. He considered such a thing something this group couldn't accomplish.
After all, no matter how you look at it, this group has been eating his provisions for years, and he believed he treated them fairly well, giving them their wages on time, if not a bit less.
Yes, only a bit less, each time he would dock just a tiny bit, uh, only a tiny bit really.
Surely they wouldn't be so petty? Surely they wouldn't become enemies over such a small paycheck deduction?
Bear in mind, he is the City Lord of East County City.
Here, he is regarded as the local Emperor. With one command, he could take everyone's heads.
In such a state, how could they possibly turn against him?
Although he had no leverage against these people, he held their generals' families in his grasp.
