Upon hearing this, everyone had varying expressions on their faces.
Pang Tang, who had been silent all along, stepped forward, cupped his hands toward Yang Zhenshan, and said, "Since General Yang has already submitted a petition, let us wait for His Majesty's judgment. I only hope that General Yang does not wield his blade at will within the city!"
Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly, "Mr. Pang, rest assured, I will not kill the innocent recklessly. As for the soldiers behind me, please be assured, my colleagues, they are all well-trained soldiers!"
Pang Tang's worry was that Yang Zhenshan's mass killing in the city would incite turmoil. In such a case, it didn't matter whether it involved the Salt Transport Department or not; he couldn't escape responsibility.
Now, hearing Yang Zhenshan's assurance, Pang Tang nodded and cupped his hands again, "I am busy with official duties, I must take my leave now!"
With that, he turned and left.
Yang Zhenshan also returned the gesture.
