Chapter 1731 Be Patient
The bandits were so excited after hearing this that they were ready to fight.
"The boss is right! His head must be ours!"
"If we don't kill him, it will be unjust!"
"Revenge for my brothers!"
Cao Meng was not convinced: "So we're just going to let this matter go? I really can't accept this!"
Jinshan felt even more guilty and glanced at them: "Big Brother, Second Brother, it's all my fault for being useless. I messed up everything!"
Cao Meng hurriedly said, "Don't think too much, Third Brother. I don't blame you, and neither will the brothers. It's all that dog official's fault! That dog official went too far!"
The bandits also expressed their opinions and comforted Jinshan.
Boss Qing also said, "Brother Three, shut up. We are all brothers, there is no point in talking about this. Brother Two is right. It is all the fault of that dog official. The lackeys under that dog official were too cruel and vicious!"
The bandits became more united in their hatred of the enemy and could not help but start cursing again.
Boss Qing tried his best to persuade Cao Meng and Jinshan. He asked Jinshan to be responsible for training the brothers in the mountain stronghold and let Cao Meng recover from his injuries. He sent people to contact the people down the mountain to find out the details of the dog official and the current situation of the government office.
In short, revenge must be taken, it just depends on how it is taken.
When the time comes, we must not make any mistakes...
Sun Bai and Sun Qian reported the matter to Shao Yunduan, who was also very shocked and angry. He ordered people to clean up the scene, bury the bodies of the bandits, and clean up the blood. He also ordered Sun Bai, Sun Qian and others to be prepared for the counterattack from the other side, strengthen the patrol and defense of the city gates and the state government, and intensify the training of the yamen runners.
Those bandits are so despicable!
He really dares to do anything!
He repeatedly provoked and robbed rice seeds, and when he failed to steal them he even tried to destroy them. His crimes are so heinous that he deserves to be put to death.
But he had to be wary of their counterattack and revenge.
Except for Jia Heming who said nothing but was secretly happy in his heart, and became more and more active in helping the prefect to share his worries and was more and more willing to offer advice and contribute his efforts, the other clerks were all terrified and worried that a few bandits would suddenly sneak into the city and take revenge on them.
Several clerks simply resigned because they could not bear the fear.
When Shao Yunduan asked for the reason, he either said that he was old and unable to do the job, and he did not dare to delay his official duties, so he had to resign; or he said that he felt that he was not suitable for this job, so he found another one...
Shao Yunduan knew the situation very well, so he did not try to persuade them to stay and simply let them go. He also gave them two extra months' salary.
As a result, all the clerks who resigned were happy and grateful, and left happily.
Shao Yunduan then handed the recruitment task over to Jia Heming, asking him to recruit a few people according to his requirements and he would decide whether to hire them after the interview.
There were quite a few students who failed to pass the examination to become a scholar, and although there were not many who succeeded in becoming a scholar, there were still some. There was no shortage of people who were interested in this public office, which provided a decent and stable income. Moreover, if someone in their family held a public office in the yamen, the whole family would be confident and no one would dare to provoke them easily, or they would often be able to get favors from them.
Nothing else can compare to this.
This time these people were timid and fearful and left on their own initiative, which was exactly what Shao Yunduan wanted. In this way, he could select and place his own people.
The people he selects will naturally be biased towards himself, and Guanzhou Cheng's influence and connections will gradually diminish.
