Pei Xiuyuan and Zhao Rongye, these two Demon Sweeping Colonels were the only ones with both the capability and motive to act against Liao Hongsheng.
However, upon closer consideration, their motive and capability both seemed insufficient.
There is no need to elaborate on Zhao Rongye, a decrepit old man.
He was almost in the Demon Cleansing Bureau at Smoke Wave Prefecture to serve his retirement. He generally did not manage affairs.
Han Zheng had also inquired Zhang Yan about it, and Zhao Rongye's character was always slippery; in the year since Liao Hongsheng had been appointed, there had hardly been any conflict between them.
Even if Zhao Rongye had killed Liao Hongsheng, he wouldn't be capable of taking control of Smoke Wave Prefecture, let alone surpass Pei Xiuyuan.
Moreover, Han Zheng could sense the Qi Blood Power in Zhao Rongye was feeble.
With Liao Hongsheng's strength, even if he were severely injured, defeating such an old man would be effortless.
