Yun Chao didn't know what Inspector Cao wanted to do, but judging from the attitudes of the two guards, it didn't seem to be a bad thing.
As a deputy inspector, there is no reason not to go when called by a regular inspection officer.
So, Yun Chao asked people to prepare some local specialties. After all, the Chinese New Year was coming soon, and there was no harm in establishing a good relationship with Inspector Cao. Yun Chao didn't want to be tied to work in Sanshui Town all day long.
With a dozen boys in tow, Yun Chao and his party slid along Wolong Valley and soon reached Sanshui Town.
Still doing the same thing, just to be on the safe side, Wang Shitou and Zhang Sihai walked around the town first and found nothing unusual before letting Yun Chao in.
At this point, Yun Chao also asked Jia Mancang to bring a few boys to guard the gate of Sanshui Town to prevent anyone from trying to catch a turtle in a jar.
When they saw Yun Chao coming, the officers in the inspection department saluted one after another.
Even if some people have never seen Yun Chao and recognize the official uniform he wears, they all know that there is a deputy inspector in the inspection department. They didn't expect to finally see him alive today.
As soon as he saw Yun Chao, Inspector Cao was stunned.
What kind of tricks does this kid have? What kind of thing is this guy carrying?
Yun Chao was not polite to Inspector Cao at all, and walked directly into his "office" with a few boys.
"Hurry up and put away the New Year's gifts for Inspector Cao. Zhang Sihai, please be careful and don't make things dirty..."
Inspector Cao looked confused, looking at a wild boar leg, two pheasants, two hares, a few salted fish, and a pile of dried fungus, dried mushrooms and other mountain products placed on his desk. All Spartan.
In front of so many subordinates, even if you want to give gifts, you have to carry someone behind your back!
Besides, let’s see what’s given away?
Pork legs, pheasants, hares, my God, there are a lot of dry goods!
If you know, you are giving a gift to a real inspection master, but if you don’t know, you think it is my poor relative from the countryside who has come to the city!
Thinking about it during Cao's inspection, the subordinates gave Shangguan New Year's gifts. Even if they didn't give antiques, calligraphy and paintings, they should at least be gold, silver and jewelry, right?
No matter what happens, I can send two beauties as gifts!
But what the hell are these so many souvenirs? They look weird, but they are actually worthless!
Forget it, after all, he came from the village, he is just a mud-legged guy, he has never seen the world, it would be nice to be able to give these things...
Inspection Cao spent a long time mentally building himself up before he finally got rid of the disgusting feeling from his mind.
"Brother, sit down quickly. Someone is here. Why don't you serve tea to Deputy Inspector Yun!"
Yun Chao squinted his eyes calmly. The man named Cao was not satisfied with what he had given him. He emphasized the word "Deputy Yun" in "Deputy Inspection". Is this a reminder to pay attention to his identity?
The two of them chatted for a long time, but no one got to the point first.
In the end, Inspector Cao couldn't stand it any longer and cursed the little fox in his heart before getting down to business.
"Brother, I invited you here this time mainly because I want to discuss with you the matter of suppressing bandits during the Chinese New Year..."
This time it was Yun Chao's turn to be confused.
The kind of stunned confusion.
It is seriously suspected that Cao is mentally ill.
Yes, there are many bandits in Qingyang County, some of which are no smaller than the bandits in Heisongling.
However, if you want to suppress bandits, you can’t choose the Chinese New Year time.
Suppressing bandits will definitely require the use of local braves. It’s Chinese New Year. If you don’t let the people celebrate the Chinese New Year at home, why bother them?
Yun Chao was not in his position and did not seek political advice, so how could he know the difficulties of Cao's inspection.
Because he had just become a patrol inspector and had not yet established his prestige, the bandits nearby did not urinate in his pot at all.
In the past, when Inspector He was here, bandits of all sizes in the neighborhood would not show their respect to him during the New Year and the festival.
It was because the bandits in Heisongling were new and did not have a dock to be inspected by He, and they were expanding rapidly, affecting the interests of other bandits, so He inspected them and sent troops to annihilate them.
Now that Inspector Cao has just taken office, he has no prestige at all. Who will pay attention to him?
The New Year was about to come, and there were only two groups of bandits who offered him filial piety, and they were all a small force of about ten people. The gifts they gave were local specialties similar to those of Yun Chao, which were not worth much.
You are shameless, I can even wipe out the bandits in Heisong Ridge, how dare you little bastards not give me face, believe it or not, I will destroy you?
Well, Inspector Cao would really put some money on his face and take the credit for wiping out the Heisongling bandits.
Although Black Pine Ridge was destroyed, the number of bandits in Sanshui Town did not decrease, but increased.
Many of the bandits who escaped from Black Pine Ridge set up a mountain nearby and became small bandits one after another.
These small forces had just been established, lacked experience, and were afraid that the officers and soldiers of Sanshui Town would settle accounts with them, so they never thought of trying to get in front of Cao Inspection.
That's why Inspector Cao got furious and prepared to kill the chicken and scare the monkey.
Of course, in the name of suppressing bandits, asking each village to donate another batch of grain and make some extra money was also a small purpose of Cao's inspection.
After finishing speaking, Inspector Cao looked at Yun Chao, waiting for him to express his position.
Originally, Inspector Cao had no intention of discussing it with Yun Chao.
After thinking about it later, I thought it would be better to talk to Yun Chao first.
When I came to Sanshui Town to take office that day, I saw that several other village leaders seemed to be following Yun Chao's lead. If they didn't do his job first, I was afraid that this boy would take the lead in causing trouble for him.
How did Inspector Cao know that Yun Chao had no prestige at all.
The reason why when he took office, several village officials looked at Yun Chao was to give him eye drops, otherwise Yun Chao would not have become the deputy inspector in a daze.
Therefore, Inspector Cao's consultation with Yun Chao was completely unnecessary.
Not to mention that Yun Chao couldn't order those old foxes to move, but even if he could order them to move, he didn't want to be the one who stood out.
So, Yun Chao simply agreed: "Inspector Cao, I have no objections. We will do whatever you say!"
Inspector Cao was very happy to see that Yun Chao had no objection. It seemed that apart from being stingy, there was nothing wrong with this kid.
"Okay, thank you for your support, brother. I can't lose you. This time the grain is collected, you Wolong Village still won't have to take a single stone!"
Yun Chao was stunned, "Good guy, this guy not only wants every village to be brave, but also collects grain. Do you want the government to force the people to rebel?"
Yun Chao dealt with it verbally, but in his heart he had already scolded Inspector Cao a hundred times.
That's nice to say, if you have the guts, don't let Wolong Village go out of its hometown to be brave!
Inspection Cao is not stupid. Even if all villages are not allowed to send out their heroes, Wolong Village will not be allowed to send out their heroes.
Just kidding, without those tough guys from Wolong Village, how could he have the confidence to suppress the bandits?
…
Just when Yun Chao and Inspector Cao were battling with each other, the Lion House in Qingyang County.
The fat shopkeeper looked at Brother Qiao Yun kneeling in front of him, with a cold smile on his face.
