Chapter 1684 Whoever Believes Is Idiot
Did he think that if he took out his anger on a few yamen runners and made an example of them, the clerks would be scared? What a joke...
All the yamen runners were present, each holding an official document.
But no one took it seriously.
After discussing with each other, another confidant of Guanzhou Cheng received his instructions and patted his chest to guarantee that there would be absolutely no problem! The prefect did not dare to fire all seventy of them at once!
If they were all fired, how many people would be missing from the government office? Who would do the work?
Even Captain Ding and Captain Yu took leave and did not come. What else do the subordinates have to be afraid of?
When the yamen runners and constables heard this, they all believed it.
No prefect can stay in this place for long. Since Guanzhou Cheng has something to say, can they not listen?
Although Lord Shao summoned everyone when he first arrived and said that he would stay here for a long time, who would believe such words?
Anyone who believes it is a fool!
As a result, the next day, not a single bailiff came.
The official document sent out by Shao Yunduan became a joke.
When Guanzhou Cheng found out, he almost died of laughter!
This Lord Shao is young after all, and he can't show off his power here.
Don't you think about who has the final say here?
Shao Yunduan was somewhat surprised by the result. What surprised him was that the situation here was worse than he expected.
But it wasn't too surprising, as he had imagined the worst-case scenario.
Shao Yunduan didn't hold back and fired everyone who didn't come, even the two captains of police were no exception.
On that day, notices were posted at the gate of the yamen and several city gates, recruiting yamen runners.
When the news came out, everyone was shocked!
Is Lord Shao so tough? Does he know that this matter will not end well...
Guanzhou Cheng was shocked and angry. He scolded Shao Yunduan in the house. After thinking about it, he went to find him. He was worried and tried his best to persuade Shao Yunduan not to be impulsive.
He also explained the pros and cons to him and analyzed why his behavior was inappropriate.
Shao Yunduan listened to him quietly, then asked him, "Does Guanzhou Cheng mean that I, the prefect, have to bow to a group of yamen runners? Or does he want me to go back on my word? If so, how can I still have the prestige to be the parent official of this area in the future?"
Guanzhou Cheng was also a little annoyed when he heard this, and sneered: "But sir, if more than half of the yamen runners are dismissed at once, the yamen may not be able to operate properly. If something happens..."
Shao Yunduan said coldly: "We are already recruiting people, and we will be able to recruit them soon. It's just a few days of hard work. What can go wrong? Unless someone is deliberately making trouble in secret!"
"If anyone really wants to do this, feel free to give it a try. If I find out, I will not let you off easily!"
Guanzhou Cheng was furious. He believed that Shao Yunduan's words were meant to imply and threaten him, but he couldn't complain, so he held back his anger and said, "Since Lord Shao said so, I have nothing to say. Lord Shao, please be careful. If so many people are fired at once, I'm afraid there will be chaos. After all, who would be willing to accept so many people losing their jobs at once? They are probably going to seek justice!"
"Fair?" Shao Yunduan sneered, "Are you kidding, Guanzhou Cheng? I sent out an official document and delivered it to them without missing a single person. They still have the signed receipts of the document in my hand! I gave them a chance, but they defied me, disobeyed my discipline, and committed treason, and yet they still dared to ask for justice!"
