Time flies, and it's already late May.
The takeover of Fengzhou is reaching its conclusion.
In fact, the later stages of the Fengzhou takeover weren't particularly smooth, as word of the public trial has spread completely, prompting the gentry and landowners of each county to unite in resistance.
Of course, their resistance isn't about organizing men to confront the Chen Army head-on, as they don't have that kind of strength.
Instead, they're applying pressure.
As the local overlords, they control the local grain prices, goods prices, and the livelihood of the local people.
They use these as bargaining chips, coercing Chen Mo to stop the public trial.
For this, they also made significant concessions.
They are aware of their numerous evil deeds locally, and if they were to go up on the public trial stage, it would surely mean no way out.
