Chapter 1732 The adults are impulsive
Shao Yunduan even hoped that Guanzhou Cheng would continue to "recuperate" for another year or two!
Guanzhou Cheng is now very conflicted.
Shao Yunduan's men killed so many bandits that he was shocked and terrified, fearing that the bandits would take revenge.
He was originally ready to recover, but began to hesitate again.
But this time, even though he had not yet recovered, he felt that he had to give a good warning to this ignorant, self-righteous, and daring prefect.
He asked his servants to support him, and pretended to be weak, and took the sedan chair to the east courtyard to find Shao Yunduan.
"...Sir, those bandits are impulsive and reckless. If you kill so many of them at once, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it will cause them to retaliate wildly! When they are impulsive, they don't care about anything! If they sneak into the city and do something, causing bloodshed and serious consequences, wouldn't it be--"
"Your Excellency has indeed acted impulsively this time!"
Shao Yunduan had just finished his official duties with great difficulty and had just returned to the East Courtyard, where he was eating strawberries and talking with Qiao Xuan. His wife had been craving for this treat since she became pregnant, and she felt in a good mood after eating it.
She was in a good mood, and he also benefited from it and enjoyed the benefits.
The two of them were just being affectionate with each other, but when Guanzhou Cheng arrived, he had to go to the study to entertain him.
It was already an eyesore to see him pretending to be a sick and wounded soldier. Then, when he spoke in a tone of earnest instruction, even hinting at him to punish Sun Bai and Sun Qian publicly to show the bandits and to calm their anger so that they would not do anything else in their impulse, Shao Yunduan could not tolerate it.
"What Guanzhou Cheng meant was that Sun Bai and Sun Qian should let those bandits burn the rice seeds? Let them hurt people? This would calm their anger, and they would not come down the mountain to retaliate, and the government could rest easy?"
Guanzhou Cheng did think so in his heart, but he obviously didn't dare to say it.
He also knew that once the rice seeds were burned, it would amount to tens of thousands of kilograms. If he wanted to transport them from somewhere else, not to mention the problem of quantity, it would be a problem of time and money, which would not be easy to solve.
To put it bluntly, no matter what you do, it's wrong.
But, wasn't it this Lord Shao who brought things to this point?
If his previous attitude had not been so tough, wouldn't this have happened?
Guanzhou Cheng also did not dare to say this.
He was feeling very aggrieved.
He felt that he was doing what was best for Anze Prefecture, the prefectural government, and the people of Anze Prefecture. However, the prefect not only did not understand or appreciate his kindness, but was aggressive instead!
If he hadn't come, Anzezhou would be peaceful and stable, nothing would have happened, and everyone would have lived in peace. But as soon as he came, he caused such a big fuss and so many lives were lost.
So many people died in Hutouzhai, they will definitely not let it go!
Those mountain bandits are of the same blood. Minjiazhai and Liuhebao might take advantage of the situation to rob them. And he has offended three major families - which means he has offended all the families, big and small, in Anze Prefecture at the same time. Who will help him then?
Did he really think that he could solve the bandit problem in Anze Prefecture just because he had a few good kung fu warriors and some wealth? He was totally wrong!
If it were really that easy, the imperial court would have sent people to deal with it long ago. How could they turn a blind eye?
