After all, none of the new officials wanted to provoke Zhao Yun and cause a fire to burn their bodies.
In any case, from their point of view, if they had to wait a few days for Zhao Yun to be under martial law, then they would have no choice but to revoke the martial law after angering the people.
Although they were just the county's rafters and calligraphy officials, other than the rafters who were ranked 400, the rest of the officials were not even worth mentioning. Forget about the big man's official position, even within the Changshan County, there were only a few counties where Cao Zhu barely had any status.
Therefore, Zhao Yun's order was quickly passed down, and a large number of garrison troops walked out of the drill ground and climbed onto the city wall. At the same time, the garrison troops responsible for guarding the city gate also increased by twofold under Zhao Laosan's command, and at the same time, they were strictly inspecting the people who entered and left the city gate.
"As for the second order," Zhao Yun looked at the crowd and smiled, "I hope that everyone can help me pacify the people in the city and prevent any grievances from being caused by martial law."
However, he did not know how much prestige he had in the Zhending County. He heard that Zhao Yun had ordered for the entire city to be under martial law, and not only did the citizens not complain, they even cooperated with the defending army to inspect.
Of course, this was all in the future, and Zhao Yun did not expect such a thing to happen in the future. Thus, he had no choice but to send out the officials of County Yamen to pacify the people of the city, preventing them from boiling over.
They were well aware of how big of an impact Zhao Yun's first order had. At this time, Zhao Yun told them to pacify the commoners, which was the same as putting them on fire!
The most important thing was, if they were to accept this mission, and if there were truly any grievances, Zhao Yun could blame it on them, and at that time, if they depose a few officials as an example, Zhao Yun could win over the hearts of the people of Zhending County, and let his order continue to be passed down unhindered!
And these people, would instead be despised by the common folk of Zhending County, and would even end their own lives!
But being stared at by Zhao Yun, none of them dared to oppose him, because they knew very well what the consequences would be for them to oppose Zhao Yun!
"What is it? Do you have any suggestions?" Noticing that no one answered, Zhao Yun's gaze swept across everyone and his tone became much colder.
Hearing Zhao Yun's words, everyone trembled. They all knew Zhao Yun's strength. If they angered Zhao Yun, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Cao Liang was the first to stand out. He cupped his hands towards Zhao Yun and said respectfully, "This official accepts your orders."
Logically speaking, Cao Zhu and County Magistrate Zhen Ding were both officials of the Xu family, but who told Cao Ling to be a member of the Xu family?
Although Cao Liang wasn't completely suppressed by Xu Buyi like before and was used as a puppet, he also didn't have much power in his hands. At this moment, he didn't dare to jump out and oppose Zhao Yun.
With someone taking the lead, the others also cupped their hands towards Zhao Yun, indicating that they should follow his orders.
They understood that they had no choice at this point. Even though they knew that accepting this quest would put them in a dilemma, they could only swallow it down.
