Hao Zhu proudly said loudly: "Don't look down on our Dadong family members because they are small. They are very capable. When we go back to rest, I will tell you more about them."
The victims all looked at Hao Zhu, who often said in front of them, "Our boss is so awesome," and every time he did so, he did so with a sense of pride.
This made everyone more curious about Kang Yueran than afraid of her. It turned out that this was the boss that Manager Hao had mentioned.
Now that the matter has been announced, how the victims discuss it, whether to leave or stay, is their own business.
Kang Yueran didn't stay any longer and returned to the village.
Contrary to Kang Yueran's expectations, the victims' reactions afterwards were very calm and did not cause any big stir.
Peace is a good thing, so Kang Yueran didn't ask any more questions.
Seeing that everyone accepted it, Hao Zhu announced after lunch that he would select fifty women to live in the newly built house to make bedding and clothes.
It was also specifically stated that the woman had to live in the new house and could not return because of the fear of contracting fleas.
Only women were allowed to stay and their families were not allowed to go back. This could easily lead people to think in a wrong way. But unexpectedly, as soon as Hao Zhu made his announcement, he was immediately surrounded by people, and everyone rushed to sign up for their own women.
Hao Zhu selected fifty women from large families. The women were treated similarly to the men, with three meals a day for themselves and two steamed buns and a piece of pickled vegetable for their families.
Half a month later, some of the victims had moved into the new houses, and Hao Zhu hired another fifty women to continue the work.
This news made the villagers of Kaoshan Village jealous. Some women secretly ran back to their parents' homes and asked their parents to bring their families to become disaster victims.
Unfortunately, the woman's younger brother and sister-in-law were very talkative. By the time their family had packed up their things and were about to come to Kaoshan Village, the whole village knew about it.
The news spread like this, and villagers in other places knew about it, and victims in other places also knew about it.
Every day, several or even dozens of disaster victims come to seek refuge near Kaoshan Village, which gives Xu Jiushi a headache.
The victims all wanted to come to Kaoshan Village, which also created obstacles for the Tiger Gang to recruit people.
The leader of the Tiger Gang is named Zhao Xue. He has received a few years of education and has more ideas than the average thief.
The seventh gang leader, Liu San, recounted the situation at Qingping Mountain and asked, "Brother, can we still use the name Qingping Mountain?"
"Why can't we use it? We've taken in so many disaster victims, where did they get the food? We just robbed them."
Zhao Xue stroked the few hairs on his chin and said, "However, it's time for us to spread the name of our Tiger Gang. It's a pity that I don't have a mountain to call my own, but it doesn't matter. Qingping Mountain will be mine sooner or later."
The largest mountain in Anzhou Prefecture is Qingping Mountain, so he must take Qingping Mountain and only Qingping Mountain.
Two days later, the home of Mr. Wang, the richest man in Zhangshan County, was robbed and his entire family was murdered. This incident caused a stir throughout Anzhou Prefecture and made everyone remember a name: the Tiger Gang.
Zhao Xue's brutal appearance had truly shocked everyone. Now, whenever people think of the Tiger Gang, they become unconsciously afraid.
Three days have passed since the incident, but the court seems to have become transparent and has not responded to it at all.
The court's indifference completely angered the merchants. When faced with the county magistrate and the prefect's request for donations, they no longer evaded the issue but said they were unwilling to do so. They had the money but wanted to hire guards to protect their safety.
The county magistrate had few soldiers and could only intimidate the merchants. The prefect had a city defense force, but the merchants in Anzhou were far inferior to those in the county.
Liao Changsheng was so angry that he jumped up and down in the prefectural government office, pointing at the door and cursing, "This damn Tiger Gang! The merchants were almost agreeing to pay the money, and they did this! Damn Tiger Gang!"
He asked Mr. Feng beside him, "How about I order a thousand city guards to wipe out the Tiger Gang?"
"The Tiger Gang is incredibly ruthless. Those 1,000 city guards have a nice name, but they don't have any real skills. If they go, they might never come back."
Liao Changsheng blurted out, "What's the big deal if we never come back!" The most important thing for them is to get the money.
Mr. Feng couldn't bear to see those thousand people die, so he said, "How about Mr. Dong show the merchants the secret letter the prince gave you? Once they see it, they'll know what Mr. Dong said is true. Then, if you use some threats and intimidation, I believe they'll pay up."
"It's all very well to show them the secret letter, but we still need to send the city guards to wipe out the Tiger Gang. I don't feel comfortable keeping the Tiger Gang around. Also, I've received news that the emperor has appointed Prince Ping to come to Anzhou to provide disaster relief."
Mr. Feng stood up suddenly, "Prince Ping? How could it be him?" Prince Ping was the prince's mortal enemy.
I would rather die than let my friend die. Mr. Feng said cruelly: "The one thousand city guards cannot be left behind, otherwise they will become an aid in arresting us."
He thought for a moment and smiled cunningly, "Let's seek cooperation with the Tiger Gang!"
