Although there was a government office, there weren't many yamen runners, and they were all farmers. Even if they had weapons, they couldn't defeat the bandits who made a living by burning, killing, and looting all year round.
Because Tianxiang County needed a large workforce for construction, and the people coming and going were diverse, it wasn't difficult for these people to sneak in.
