Chapter 1731: Endure For Now Chapter 1731: Endure For Now Editor: Henyee Translations The bandits, their blood coursing with ardor and zeal, eagerly rubbed their palms together.
“Boss is spot on!
His head must be ours!” “If we let him live, the heavens won’t stand for it!” “Revenge for our fallen brothers!” Cao ng, unconvinced, questioned, “So, are we just letting this slide?
I-I can’t accept it!” Jin Shan, burdened with guilt, interjected, “Boss, Second Brother, it’s my fault for being useless.
I ssed up!” Cao ng quickly reassured him, “Third Brother, don’t bla yourself.
I don’t bla you, and our brothers won’t either.
It’s all that dog official’s fault!
He’s gone too far!” The Mountain Bandits voiced their solidarity, offering comfort to Jin Shan.
Boss Qing added, “Third Brother, enough.
We’re all brothers.
There’s no point dwelling on this.
Second Brother is right.
It’s that dog official’s fault.
His lackey, henchman, lapdog, is heartless and vicious!” The bandits grew more united against their common enemy, unleashing a barrage of curses.
After persistent persuasion, Boss Qing finally managed to convince Cao ng and Jin Shan.
He tasked Jin Shan with training the brothers in the stronghold and allowed Cao ng ti to recuperate.
He then dispatched soone to investigate the dog official’s background and the current situation at the governnt office.
In essence, revenge was on the horizon, and their approach had to be strategic.
When Sun Bai and Sun Qian reported the incident to Shao Yunduan, he too felt shock and anger.
He ordered the cleanup of the scene, the burial of the mountain bandits’ bodies, and instructed the siblings to prepare for a counterattack.
Additionally, he emphasized strengthening patrols, fortifying the city gate and state office defenses, and intensifying bailiff training.
Those Mountain Bandits were too detestable!
He really dared to do anything!
The Mountain Bandits persistently provoked, repeatedly targeting the rice seeds.
Unable to steal them, their intent shifted to destruction, marking them as perpetrators of a heinous cri deserving punishnt.
Despite the justified anger, Shao Yunduan remained cautious of potential counterattacks and revenge.
Jia Heming, the exception, maintained silence but harbored secret satisfaction.
He grew increasingly engaged in sharing the Lord of the Prefect’s concerns, offering ideas willingly.
In stark contrast, the other scribes trembled in fear, haunted by the possibility of mountain bandits infiltrating the city for vengeance.
There were also a few scribes who resigned because they could not withstand this fear.
When Shao Yunduan asked for the reason, he either said that he was too old to delay his work, so he had to resign, or that he did not think that he was suitable for the job, so he found another one… Shao Yunduan knew what was going on, so he did not ask them to stay.
Instead, he asked them to leave and gave them two more months’ salary.
The scribes who had resigned were all overjoyed and grateful.
They left happily.
Shao Yunduan instructed Jia Heming to recruit individuals based on his specifications, with the final hiring decision to be made after interviews.
Nurous Child Student students who couldn’t attain Cultivated Talent status were available.
While local Cultivated Talents were scarce, there were still so within reach.
The public position offered stability and respectability, making it highly desirable.
Moreover, candidates often ca from families with existing governnt office connections, instilling confidence and deterring potential provocations.
This was sothing that nothing else could compare to.
Shao Yunduan felt that it was exactly what Shao Yunduan wanted when these people left on their own accord.
That way, he would be able to choose his own people.
The people he had chosen were naturally biased towards him.
The influence and connections of Deputy Prefect Guan would gradually decrease.
