As the saying goes, the bigger the tree, the more it catches the wind. On top of that, their actions indeed went too far—just as Da Lang Wu Zhao had previously guessed, there was something unreliable in Du Chengfeng's ideas. This time, however, Du Chengfeng managed to foresee the oversight in Da Lang Wu Zhao's approach.
And that is, overly violent behavior is bound to incite something.
Indeed, in just two days, there were already people willing to die for Wu Zhao's orders, but some bore even deeper grudge against Wu Zhao—the most typical example being the head guard who was knocked to the ground by Wu Zhao. As a local figure of prominence, he was actually beaten to his knees in public. How could he tolerate such a shame?
He had to take revenge, only by doing so could he make people recognize his might and maintain his reputation.
