"I'm sorry, Governor. I know I fucked up."
Seeing Li Zhen already apologizing before he could say anything, Xiaoyun took a seat before looking back at him with an intrigued look.
"What happened? I want to hear the full story from you, from start to finish."
"Last night, when we got the phone call from the deputy governor, we immediately sent out two patrol cars to find the bandit's hideout.
We were able to locate them in an abandoned village near the hills of the main road, so we formulated a plan in the morning to attack them.
The initial plan was to send ten policemen to deal with this. I thought since they only had muskets, police armed with pistols would be enough."
Li Zhen paused for a second, then continued as a frown appeared on his face.
"But I couldn't be more wrong... Before we attack, we gave them one last chance to surrender through the megaphone."
"You told them you were coming after them?" Xiaoyun questioned before letting Li Zhen go any further with the story.
