These people were merely low-level Independent Cultivators. For him, a great emperor, to fall out with them over a trifling dispute was truly too undignified.
However,
Emperor Longchang did obtain some useful intelligence, such as Ping'an Town becoming the Wang family's private residence, and the relocation of the original civilians to Xinping Town and Xin An Town.
These were places where Prominent Families most easily bred corruption and faced problems.
In recent months, for oppressing civilians too harshly and rendering the local populace unable to sustain livelihoods, Emperor Longchang had already dealt with several such families.
If the transgressions were not too excessive, imposing a fine and ordering rectifications were sufficient; however, if it incited public outrage and left civilians in unbearable conditions, Emperor Longchang would invariably have to assert his imperial majesty with a thunderous wrath.
