“Have you noticed that Mr. Chen is watching us closely while you guys argue? He must be contemplating who to replace first.” Poxed Face Wang was further taken aback.
“So, what’s the plan?”
“What else can we do? There’s only one way, and that’s for all of us to stand together like we used to and endure together.”
Poxed Face Wang had an epiphany.
“I understand what we should do now.”
“I’m willing to contribute the entire two-tael silver reward and treat everyone to a hearty meal. We can unite and ensure none of us get replaced.”
Liu Dazhuang grinned with delight. “Exactly. As long as we remain united, they won’t be able to replace any of us.”
“I believe that if we perform our duties well, Governor Su won’t even consider replacing us. After all, it’s not easy to find reliable replacements.”
“Moreover, I think Governor Su is better than any previous governor. We should cherish this opportunity. If we stay loyal to him, we might enjoy some privileges in the future.”
“For one, he comes from a wealthy family, and more importantly, he’s willing to invest.”
“Secondly, he has extensive connections. If he proves himself capable, even bandits will listen to him. Have you noticed that there’s been peace in the prefecture capital these last few days? There haven’t been any robberies, killings, or even disputes.”
“Thirdly, take a good look at Mr. Chen. He’s not an ordinary person.”
“He’s not just an ordinary person, yet he’s chosen to serve under Governor Su. It’s evident that Governor Su is no ordinary leader.”
Poxed Face Wang nodded vigorously.
“Brother Liu, why do I feel that you, a martial artist, are even wiser than me, a scholar! ”
Liu Dazhuang chuckled at the flattery. “Brother Wang, you’re too kind!”
Poxed Face Wang returned to the main hall and announced loudly, “Brothers, let’s work together to complete today’s task. If I manage to secure the two-tael silver reward, I’ll treat you all to a splendid meal at Shanzhen Restaurant. Even if the cost exceeds two taels of silver, I can handle it.’
The others were taken aback. “Poxed Face Wang, there are so many people here, don’t make empty boasts.”
Poxed Face Wang patted his chest and assured them, “I can ask Constable Liu to vouch for me. I mean every word. Please assist us promptly.”
Liu Dazhuang nodded and confirmed, “Don’t worry, everyone. This commitment is genuine. If Poxed Face Wang fails to keep his word, I’ll treat you all to a meal. You trust me, don’t you?”
Liu Dazhuang then had a brief conversation with the others, outlining what he had discussed with Poxed Face Wang.
Upon hearing this, the group nodded and even appeared somewhat sheepish.
“I trust him!”
“Absolutely!”
“Constable Liu’s words are much more reliable than Wang Ermazi’s!”
Laughter filled the room as they promptly resumed their transcription.
Mr. Chen observed this group of seemingly unruly individuals working together. It seemed that even these ruffians and rogues could exhibit teamwork. He smiled knowingly.
Governor Su’s approach was indeed quite clever.
This situation allowed him to discern who was more generous, who was less generous, who was more competent, and who was less capable.
Furthermore, it helped him identify individuals who could be retained for future tasks and those who might need to be replaced.
He was already forming a plan.
After these individuals successfully completed their task, he would report this situation to the governor..
