Chapter 115 After today, there will be no more bandits in Liuhe County!
Although the appearance of Niu Chong and others was unexpected by Su Cheng, it was also reasonable.
After all, Liuhe County is changing with each passing day, and there are new changes every day. Who doesn’t want to live in such a wealthy place?
Moreover, Su Cheng's order was conveyed to the whole county, and Niu Chong and others also believed that Su Cheng would not break his promise.
The certificates of surrender have been given, and now Su Cheng has given them an opportunity to serve as yamen servants. Naturally, they will not miss this opportunity and immediately summon their men to go to several other villages to capture other bandits who are unwilling to surrender.
They had the advantage in numbers, and they also had the temptation of serving as government servants. Niu Chong and others were very interested in this matter.
In two days, all the bandits in Liuhe County who were unwilling to surrender or had murder cases on their hands were taken down.
Three days later, Niu Chong and others, covered in blood, led a group of people to the county government office.
On the way, the people in the city didn't know why, and were frightened by the smell of blood and fled away.
"Sir, I'm back!" Tian Dazhuang entered the county government office first to report to Su Cheng.
Su Cheng put down the account book in his hand, rubbed his drowsy eyes, and then stood up: "I'm finally back. How's the matter I told you going?"
Tian Dazhuang chuckled: "Sir, you are wise, there are really people who can't stop eating shit and want to hide the money they found in those villages."
"However, Niu Chong is also very powerful. He actually found out about this, scolded the other party severely, and finally put the money back."
Su Cheng couldn't help but nodded slightly after hearing this.
As expected, I was right. Niu Chong was indeed a bold and careful person!
If this person can be trained, it is not impossible that he will become the right-hand man in the county government in the future.
"Let's go and see them!" Su Cheng said and walked towards the front yard of the county government office.
In the yard, Niu Chong and others were waiting in tattered clothes. Although they did not lose any men when they captured the bandits this time, they were more or less injured.
Some serious people are even bleeding, and their clothes are soaked with blood.
Seeing Su Cheng coming, everyone bowed their hands and saluted: "I've met Mr. Su!"
Su Cheng took a look at the blood on everyone's bodies and the dozen or so bandits caught there, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, you have completed the test given to you by this county. From now on, you will be the Yamen servants of Liuhe County!"
"From today on, there will be no more bandits in Liuhe County!"
"Niu Chong, tell me how many of you there are now?"
Su Cheng would not forget the promise he made and directly announced that they had become government servants.
Next, it is time to settle these people.
When Niu Chong heard this, he quickly bowed his hands and saluted and reported: "Come back to your lord, there are about 370 people in our dozen or so villages, big and small. We hope you will take us in!"
In the last sentence, Niu Chong wanted Su Cheng to give him a few more places as yamen servants.
After all, there are more than 370 people, it’s impossible for everyone to be a government servant, right?
Niu Chong has never seen any county with so many government officials.
Unexpectedly, when Su Cheng heard that there were so many people, he was not surprised but overjoyed: "More than three hundred and seventy people? So if we include the original servants of our county government, there will be four hundred people!"
After thinking for a while, Su Cheng improved his previous idea and then said: "This county wants all of these 370 people, and you will all be yamen servants from now on!"
As soon as these words came out, it was Niu Chong and others' turn to be dumbfounded.
A county actually has 400 government officials?
"Sir... Sir, are you kidding me?" Niu Chong swallowed, his face full of disbelief.
Niu Chong had even thought about it on the way here. If Su Cheng only wanted a few people to become government servants, he would have to appease the other bandits.
But now, Su Cheng actually said as soon as he opened his mouth that he would take in all the people as yamen servants.
The surprise came so suddenly that Niu Chong couldn't believe it.
But Su Cheng chuckled: "Do you think this county is joking with you?"
"Now our Liuhe County has opened up a lot of fields, and is currently building new houses for the victims. The area we will govern will be larger in the future, and we should have more government officials."
"But you guys, this county will divide such a large group into four teams!"
"Each team has one hundred people. The first team is in charge of the county, the second team is in charge of He Baotou, the third team is in charge of Tian Dazhuang, and the fourth team is in charge of Niu Chong."
"Of course, there are many things going on in this county, and the first team will also be in charge of the first team for the time being."
With so many people, arrangements must be made properly.
"Your Excellency is wise!"
When Niu Chong heard that the teams had been divided, he realized that Su Cheng was not joking, and he quickly knelt down on the ground to thank him.
Everyone became yamen servants, and Niu Chong had an explanation for these people.
"Don't be too hasty to thank me yet!"
Su Cheng glanced at Niu Chong: "I'll say the ugly things first. If anything happens to these people, or they violate laws and disciplines, then this county will have to ask questions from you!"
This is to force Niu to rush and stare at those people, so that those people do not dare to mess around.
After all, with so many people coming to serve as yamen servants at once, it is inevitable that some people will take advantage of the situation and take advantage of it, which is something Su Cheng does not want to see.
After hearing this, Niu Chong immediately promised: "Sir, please rest assured that this minor matter will be handled properly. If anyone dares to cause trouble in the county, I will not be the first to spare them!"
What Su Cheng wants is Niu Chong's guarantee!
"Very good, this county has given you the opportunity, and you have grasped it. The rest will depend on your performance."
Su Cheng said calmly: "If you do a good job as a government servant, you will definitely be able to live a stable life in Liuhe County from now on."
"But if any of them dare to make trouble, then this county will have to settle their old and new accounts together!"
With the last sentence, Su Cheng's tone became particularly stern, and his whole body revealed a sense of domineering.
Niu Chong and others were the first to bear the brunt of the attack. Being suppressed by this momentum, their hearts became cold and unable to think of any other thoughts.
"I understand, sir. Please rest assured, I will handle this matter properly!" Niu Chong immediately assured Su Cheng.
"Very good, get up and talk. Let's talk about your harvest this time." Su Cheng focused his attention on the group of bandits who were escorted in and the box beside them.
Niu Chong stood up, pointed at the group of bandits who were being held captive, and said, "There are more than thirty people in these people. They were all captured and no one escaped!"
"In addition, more than a thousand taels of silver were also found from those villages, all in that box."
It took so many villages to collect so little money. These bandits are really poor!
And this is because Liuhe County's economy has improved recently, and these bandits have robbed some money. I'm afraid they didn't have so much money before.
"Put all these people in jail, count the money and confiscate it, and the county will record it."
Su Cheng smiled and looked at Niu Chong and others: "You have worked hard to suppress the bandits. This county will give you some money to eat, which can be regarded as a blessing for you."
"Thank you, sir!"
After dealing with these matters, the sky had darkened, and Su Cheng was ready to go back.
But he didn't know that the Shen family was already ready and waiting for him to return.
