Hope for luck

Chapter 48
Inside the regiment training camp outside the city of Dantang County.

At this time, Gao Pan was on the school field watching many village braves who practiced hard.

Seeing everyone wearing cloth armor and holding long guns, Gao Pan felt that the current regiment training camp in Dantang County was too shabby.

"My lord, what should I do with the subordinate officials in the house?"

There were still many people following Gao Pan, and Deng Wenshan, who followed suit, was closest to Gao Pan at the moment, and asked Gao Pan for instructions as he walked.

"You make up your own mind. From now on, you have the final say on the house. You don't need to ask me for instructions on this kind of thing. However, I can mention that there must be a lot of people like Du Changhai in each house of the county government. They should also be moved." The position has been moved, and it would be better if some newcomers come in!"

Gao Pan was very satisfied with Deng Wenshan's prudence, but he couldn't help but suggest.

"But it's hard for newcomers to get started. If you do something wrong, it will be difficult!"

When Deng Wenshan heard the words, his face showed bitterness, and he said helplessly.

What he said was indeed a fact. The subordinate officials in the county government were all replaced by fathers and sons. There were some secrets that the county officials and masters were not clear to these subordinate officials.

If newcomers are replaced in vain, there will be a lot of trouble. At least, familiarity with official duties is a big problem.

"Don't be afraid of making mistakes, correcting mistakes is not a big deal, but if there is one more person like Du Changhai, the people in our county will suffer more, and the prestige of our county government will also be reduced by one point! "

Gao Pan seemed to have his own plan, and he was full of indifference. While watching the many Xiangyongs who were practicing, he said softly to Deng Wenshan.

"Besides, you just took over Hufang, how can you carry out official business without one or two confidantes? Don't worry, change it, if they dare to make trouble, I will take care of it for you!"

Gao Pan saw Deng Wenshan's indecision, and quickly raised his voice.

After hearing this, Deng Wenshan made up his mind in an instant. Since Gao Pan said so and he was still timid, it would be better not to take over the leadership of this house!

He hurriedly bowed and agreed, speaking very frankly, Gao Pan nodded when he heard the words, and said no more.

Two positions behind Gao Pan were Peng Ming and Yin Wei'an, and after that, a few followers of the county government's strong squad.

"My lord, you already have a plan to let the head arrester Shi Zhichang investigate Du Xiangming's charges, but the lower officials don't know, why do you want to do this?"

Walking and walking, everyone returned to the main tent in the village, came to a round table, Gao Pan sat down immediately, and Deng Wenshan followed him, still chattering.

After Gao Pan personally poured a cup of tea and took a sip, he said:
"Right now, Du Xiangjun wants me to judge Du Xiangming in this name, so as to stir up those big money owners to accuse me!"

Pausing for a while, a cold light flashed in Gao Pan's eyes, and he continued:

"Since that's the case, how can I let them do what they want? Not only that, but I also want them to follow the court's laws!"

Deng Wenshan was startled when he heard the words, and he had once again seen Gao Pan's foresight.

And Yin Weian's face changed after hearing this.

In the morning, someone caused trouble at the gate of the county government office, and Gao Pan easily resolved it, which shocked Yin Wei'an already.

But after hearing Gao Pan's solution, Yin Weian broke into a sweat for Gao Pan.

Let ordinary people come to the county government to borrow money, and the interest is only charged at [-]%. What is the difference between this and confiscation of interest?
In this way, wouldn't it completely cut off the fortunes of those rich men who loan usury?

Although Gao Pan solved it neatly, leaving the surrounding people with no reason to make trouble, but behind these troublemakers, there are those rich old men standing!
If Gao Pan can't solve it well, maybe there will be big troubles. It's not a day or two for these squires to disobey the imperial court's decree, or to obey the government's decree.

Yin Weian thought in his heart, can Gao Pan resist the pressure of these gentry?What's more, this kind of money-destroying thing?

Just as Yin Weian was worrying for Gao Pan, Gao Pan called the two deputy envoys of the regiment training camp to discuss how to train the villagers!
"According to your opinion, when will these country braves be able to fight?"

Only Gao Pan asked in a deep voice.

"Returning to my lord, judging from the current progress, it can take as little as half a month and as much as a month or two. Most of these village braves are just farmers in the fields and have never been trained. It is difficult to have any combat power for a while!"

Li Lun, deputy envoy of the training camp, said to Gao Pan respectfully.

They knew very well about Yu Zongqi's dismissal, and the two assistant envoys did not dare to show the slightest disrespect to this young man, at least on the surface they couldn't see the disrespect towards Gao Pan.

"Well, then hurry up and practice. The tens of thousands of people in our county rely on you to protect them. Besides, after the autumn harvest, it's time for those bandits to go down the mountain to plunder! Time waits for no one!"

After Gao Pan listened, he nodded calmly and said.

After speaking, Gao Pan got up again and came outside the tent. After seeing the many sweaty Xiang Yong, Li Lun must step up his practice again, and then he left here in the official sedan chair.

……

At night, the entire Dantang County is quiet, except for the occasional stray cat running on the street, there is no other movement, very quiet.

At this time, the watchman in charge of the county government broke the silence of the night and woke up the people in a dilapidated room.

"It's three o'clock, it's time to act!"

Nothing could be seen clearly in the dilapidated house, but with the little light from the street, it could be seen that there were more than 20 people hiding in the house at the moment.

All of them are menacing figures, holding sharp weapons covered with cloth strips in their hands.

The person in the lead, hearing what the watchman shouted at this moment, knew that it was the third watch, so he couldn't help reminding everyone.

If there is more anger, you can see that the leader is none other than Yu Zongqi, who was dismissed by Gao Pan before.

"Brother Yu, I have advised you a long time ago, but if you don't listen, aren't you the same as us today?"

Beside Yu Zongqi, there is another man, about 30 years old, with many scars on his rough face, which looks a little scary, and a cluster of old hairs on his chin.

At this moment, he was stroking his beard, looked at Yu Zongqi and said, there seemed to be some teasing in his words.

Yu Zongqi heard this, patted his thigh, turned to look at this man, quite remorseful:

"Brother, I was blind. I always thought that the imperial court would send a good official to our county, but how did I know that two brats came one after another. The first swallowed up the money and food, and the latter simply took away my official position." Withdrawn, alas, I regret that I should have listened to my brother earlier..."

The man whom Yu Zongqi called his elder brother patted Yu Zongqi on the shoulder with a smile, and said loudly:
"Brother Yu will see clearly now, and it's not too late. We have another hero in our Zhongli cottage. From now on, let's gather together to rise up and kill all corrupt officials in the world!"
