In the Name of the People: From the Start, I Snatched Old Chen Away and Made Hou Liangping Panic

An investigator parachuted in from above throws his weight around at a meeting of senior officials, abusing his authority and declaring that Handong has rotted to the core. Just as all the powerful figures fall silent in fear, Zhao Dagong, the iron-fisted helmsman, rises with a cold laugh. He lists the violations one by one, then strikes like thunder and has the investigator expelled on the spot!

Armed with the formidable political skills he honed in his previous life, Zhao Dagong knows exactly where this game’s fatal weakness lies. You preach the greater good, I protect the economy. You play the family card, I seize the high ground on people’s livelihoods! One devastating notice drives the arrogant imperial envoy into a corner; one flawless resettlement plan brings Jingzhou’s construction powerhouse into the fold. A mentor from the local faction tries to use someone else to do his dirty work, only to be backed into a dead end; even his once-proud protégé comes forward in the dead of night to pledge allegiance! In this contest, Zhao Dagong turns Handong into a chessboard and crushes every trace of hypocrisy and arrogance!
