    After the imperial envoy departed from Shanglin Prefecture, Su Bin let out a sigh of relief.


    Finally, everything had reached its conclusion.<div>


    Fortunately, his n unfolded seamlessly from start to finish.


    Every detail unfolded exactly as he had anticipated.


    Not a single hint of Lin Yue and the others’ involvement in the bandit extermination alongside the Dragon Phoenix Hall leaked during this operation.


    In addition to gaining a substantial sum in banknotes and cultivating a positive reputation, Su Bin secured an official record through this endeavor.


    While the gold, silver, and jewelry were distributed among the participants, all the food was transported back to the government office. Qin Zhenzhen’s investment facilitated the purchase of additional food, and Su Bin made the decision to distribute it among themoners.


    As a result, Su Bin garnered yet another wave of favorable public opinion.


    The renown of their husband-and-wife team echoed even louder.


    Notably, strategists approached Su Bin and Qin Zhenzhen, seeking to join their cause. Furthermore, Su Bin forged connections with leaders in the martial arts world, renowned sects, and various heroic figures, capitalizing on the gains from the bandit nest siege.


    They had essentially absorbed all the gold, silver, and treasures concealed in the mountains by both the descendants of the prior dynasty and the Public House.


    Crucially, Su Bin sessfully conveyed to the Public House that he remained neutral in the Third Prince’s affairs.


    However, he refrained from aligning with the Public House immediately. Instead, he cultivated the impression that he was observant and vignt.<div>


    This strategy prevented the Public House from considering him a disposable asset.


    He was also happy to spend their days with his wife in Shanglin Prefecture.


    Having a promising start made the subsequent tasks considerably more manageable.


    Upon assuming office, none of the county magistrates serving under Su Bin made an immediate visit. Each had their own reasons, citing ongoing investigations, recent health concerns, or the need for preparations due to the lengthy journey. The truth was, ever since they learned of Su Bin’s intention to confront the mountain bandits, they became apprehensive about potential entanglements. The ruthless nature of the mountain bandits fueled their fear.


    Once Su Bin, with arge gathering of people, sessfully eradicated the bandit threat, the emperor, recognizing his achievement, dispatched an imperial envoy for a high-profilemendation. It was only then that the county magistrates paid their respects to Su Bin, presenting him with substantial gifts. Even the governor, holding a higher official position, personally came to extend congrattions.


    Su Bin, understanding the predicament of the county magistrates, did not press them too hard. He grasped the weight of their fears, considering the bandits’ ruthless tendencies.


    However, despite the challenges faced by the county magistrates, the necessary responsibilities had to be delegated.


    The county magistrates assured Su Bin that they would not disappoint Governor Su.


    After seeing off the county magistrates, Su Bin initiated the process of gradually stabilizing Shanglin Prefecture.


    The government office buzzed with activity as bailiffs were deployed, and city guards were recruited. Notices were posted, detailing a series of measures aimed at benefiting the popce. The severity of punishment forwbreakers was emphasized.


    Su Bin found himself immersed in daily interrogations, maintaining a hectic schedule as he worked to set Shanglin Prefecture on a positive trajectory.<div>


    None of the bailiffs remained idle, and their contentment was palpable since Su Bin generouslypensated them from his own resources.


    As Shanglin Prefecture regained its footing, those who had relocated previously returned.


    Within half a year, Shanglin Prefecture experienced a gradual upswing in prosperity.


    Qin Zhenzhen’s business flourished as well.


    Nearly ten specialty shops emerged, dedicated to selling seasonings and therapeutic food packets.


    The health center faced high demand, requiring guests to make reservations due to overcrowding.


    Simultaneously, the training center gained immense poprity.


    Not only did some women aspire to venture into business traditionally dominated by men, but also young women eagerly enrolled.


    After all, mastering the art of cooking was viewed as a way to secure their husband’s affection..
