But because of this incident, all the brothers in the village started quarreling.
The fourth in command agreed with Duan Qingxi's idea. Many of his brothers were trying to please him, so naturally they all stood on his side.
The second in command naturally opposed it, but the third in command and his other brothers also supported him.
In this way, everyone quickly split into two groups and almost started fighting.
Helian Sheng glanced at Duan Qingxi lightly, but his eyes were full of helplessness.
This naughty little guy!
Duan Qingxi didn't know that he had become a naughty little kid in front of Helian Sheng, and he had his reasons for doing so.
It just so happened that she also wanted to see what kind of person this new official was.
Because he didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the mountain stronghold, Helian Sheng found an excuse to take Duan Qingxi away, leaving the smoky and chaotic hall to them.
The final result is obvious. The village chief naturally listened to Duan Qingxi's advice and decided to spare the new official's life.
Although the second in command was angry, this was the decision of the village chief, so he naturally did not dare to disobey, let alone show any dissatisfaction.
After returning to the room, Duan Qingxi asked Helian Shengdao: "What are you going to do?"
They have been here for a while, but have done nothing.
Duan Qingxi also knew that he had his own plans, but she didn't quite understand Helian Sheng's plans.
After Helian Sheng sat down, he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it slowly. Then he glanced at Xiaodai who was taking a nap not far away and said, "Waiting."
"Waiting for what?"
"Wait for Qin Yong's people to come to the door."
"ah?"
Duan Qingxi couldn't understand it for a moment and asked, "Why would Qin Yong's people come to my door in person?"
"Liu Song has been captured by us. Qin Yong has not heard from him for such a long time, so he is naturally worried. But if he sends someone from the capital to inquire about him, it will inevitably arouse our suspicion. So he will definitely ask the leader of the village to rescue him."
Duan Qingxi suddenly understood. She said, "So... you mean that as long as Qin Yong sends someone here, we can get evidence of Qin Yong colluding with these bandits?"
After putting down his teacup, Helian Sheng continued, "Of course, this little evidence is not enough to bring Qin Yong down. All I want is the person he sent."
Duan Qingxi didn't understand, but seeing how confident he was, she was no longer worried.
With him here, this matter should be resolved satisfactorily.
Not long after, the village chief came to find Duan Qingxi, obviously wanting to ask her what she should do to completely win over the new official.
After asking around, Duan Qingxi learned that the new official was named Xu Xuan, and was only about twenty-four or twenty-five years old.
"That's easy to do. As an official, you can use threats, bribes, and finally, alienation tactics! Once you've used all three, there's no need to worry about him not obeying."
The village chief didn't know whether he understood or not, so he nodded and left.
Next, the village chief focused all his attention on winning over Xu Xuan.
The fourth in command seemed particularly proactive. As long as it was the village chief's decision, he would flatter him and approve it, and would take people to carry it out immediately.
Xu Xuan is a very handsome man. Although he has been tortured a lot by the people in the village during this period, his facial features still attract many women.
Duan Qingxi took a look at him from afar and thought he seemed to be a trustworthy person, but he didn't know whether he could stick to his original intention under the temptation of the village chief.
The village chief was in a tough situation. He had tried every possible means, but Xu Xuan still gritted his teeth and said that he would never work for these bandits.
At first, the village chief was just testing him, but after seeing how loyal he was, he became more interested.
If we can really recruit such a strong and capable person, he will indeed be a good helper!
The second-in-command, who had been very resistant at first, began to admire Xu Xuan after seeing how tough he was, and was no longer as resistant as before.
