Gu Wenheng knew that General Zhou must have helped a lot secretly. He had just taken over the people under him and there were very few voices of opposition. These people could also quickly carry out the orders he issued.
It’s a pity that the previous incident really scared the people. No matter how the yamen runners tried to persuade them, no one was willing to take the risk.
Gu Wenheng knew that these things could not be rushed and could only be changed step by step. After dealing with the affairs of the yamen, he was preparing to go back to the backyard to have a good rest and continue working hard tomorrow.
But at this moment, Mingfeng sent over several visiting cards.
When Gu Wenheng saw the adults who came together, he laughed inwardly, "Can't you sit still so soon?"
After introducing themselves to each other and insisting on greeting each other, the three of them, supported by their attendants, stood obediently by the side waiting.
However, since they were all injured, Gu Wenheng naturally would not make things difficult for them in this regard and quickly arranged for them to sit down.
“I should have come to see you two days ago, but I was afraid that my sick appearance would offend you.
I have specially consulted the doctor these two days and confirmed that there is nothing wrong before I dare to come to your house. "Xiao Yuling stood up and said respectfully.
Gu Wenheng, "You gentlemen, this is an unprovoked disaster. There is no need to be polite when you come to me. Just sit down and talk."
"Thank you, sir!" The three men were quite obedient and this time they came over in a humble manner.
The three of them wanted to flatter him, and Gu Wenheng wanted to know more from them, so they chatted back and forth and were having a good time.
After hearing the news, He Gaofei and the other two could no longer sit still. They wanted to rush over and scold these three people. Weren't they told before that they couldn't move? Now they could visit each other?
"We can't just sit there and wait for death," Lu Shenggen said, "I have to go over and listen to what they have to say."
Today, Gu Wenheng was distributing tasks in the lobby of the government office. Every time he looked at them, he seemed to be hesitant to speak, which made the three of them look at people and lose face.
Although they hated it in their hearts, they had to accept the reality. They had nothing on hand, and the emperor had not clearly dismissed the previous officials, which put them in a dilemma.
When Gu Wenheng heard the guard's report and knew that He Gaofei and the other two had arrived, he naturally would not stop them.
Just from the conversation with these three people, Gu Wenheng already had an idea in his mind.
The two parties were relatively calm when they met. To them, Gu Wenheng was the person they wanted to join the team, so they would naturally not cause trouble in front of him.
This is a back-and-forth confrontation that is unavoidable.
Gu Wenheng held a cup of hot tea and watched the whole show.
Even when they were talking till their mouths were dry, they still had the mind to ask Mingfeng to refill their tea.
Gu Wenheng waited until they had received most of the information before making a conclusion, "Alas, actually I really have no way to deal with your current situation. I can only submit the memorial to the higher-ups and see how they deal with it."
But with this going on and on, and the roads blocked by heavy snow soon, we probably have to wait until spring.
Both sides are dissatisfied. It is clearly their position, and now there are so many unexpected events. Can't the other side give in?
Both sides had the same mentality and neither side would give in to the other.
Gu Wenheng said, "We are all ministers, receiving salaries from the court, so we naturally have to be loyal to the emperor. Since the court does not have an accurate position for you now, why don't we all work together to restore this Lucheng to normal as soon as possible."
The six of them understood what he meant, they just wanted to be impartial and not offend either side.
They all cursed the cunning fox in their hearts, but did not dare to offend him in the slightest outwardly.
If they anger people and make them stand on the opposite side, then they will lose more than they gain.
Xiao Yulin and the others were unwilling to give in. After all, they had lived in this place for so many years. It would be strange for them to feel at ease if a sudden intruder wanted to take away everything from them.
But now the situation has come to this, and the other party has also obtained official documents to take up the position, which can only be regarded as tacit approval of Gu Wenheng's proposal.
Otherwise, if they do nothing over time, who will recognize them?
Zhou Shixiong had just gone to annihilate a small group of bandits. When he heard the news, he couldn't help but laugh. "What a mischievous guy! Does this count as him getting six powerful generals for no reason?"
Deputy General Wang also found it interesting. When he was managing the government affairs of Lucheng, Xiao Yulin and the others always used their injuries to refuse to assist him.
Now it's really retribution. From now on, I will have to fight hard to get a job.
It’s a pity that the bandits have become more and more ferocious in recent times, and they have to travel along various borders. Otherwise, he really wants to see how embarrassing these people look.
"General, this newly appointed prefect, after we have waited for this period of time, shouldn't we also pay him a visit and do our best to be a good host?"
Wang Liqiang was one of the few people who knew about the relationship between Gu Wenheng and General Zhou.
Zhou Shixiong nodded and said, "We two brothers haven't seen each other for such a long time, I really miss you.
These damn bandits are really crazy because of poverty. They come here in waves in such a cold weather. It seems that they are having a hard time this year, otherwise they wouldn’t be so crazy. "
Deputy General Wang also hated these bandits who were looking for trouble for no reason. "It's a pity that we can't reach them now, otherwise we would really like to get rid of them once and for all."

Unlike the dire situation here, Jin Qianqian thought that she could spend a comfortable winter by returning to Fu County.
I didn't expect that there would be endless banquets to attend, either one family was getting married or another family was having a grandchild.
Now the lives of the entire Kaoshan Village have improved, and everyone seems to have developed another skill: they like to compare with each other when they have nothing to do.
From comparing income, marrying a wife, having grandchildren, to now comparing banquets and guests, the boredom of working in the winter has been completely broken.
As the highest-ranking official wife in the clan, everyone is proud to invite Jin Qianqian to a banquet.
They were all from the same village, so if she promised one family, she couldn't refuse the other. Sometimes, in order to cope with these banquets, Jin Qianqian even lived in the courtyard.
"Madam, do you want to live in Fu County for a while?" Lichun helped her rub her forehead. The banquets here were not like those of the wealthy families where people talked in whispers. They shouted at the top of their lungs. After listening to them for a whole day, Jin Qianqian felt a headache.
Jin Qianqian raised her hand and waved, "Then I'd rather stay here.
Do you think the ladies in Fu County are easy to please?"
They want her to be the judge for even the smallest matters, and even want her to act as a matchmaker to protect their children. I really don't know what these people are thinking.
"Luoluo and Cancan, why are they so quiet today? Why didn't I hear any noise from them today?"
