Six hundred and ninetieth chapters encourage morale
Chapter 693: Boosting Morale
Just when Cheng Jiu was bracing himself for a stalemate with Chai Yan, Situ Zhou arrived outside the county prison.
"Sir Chai, Cheng Jiu, what are you doing?"
Situ Zhou was stunned when he saw the appearance of the two people.
Chai Yan turned around and replied with a smile: "Oh! If you have nothing to do, let's compare notes."
With that said, Chai Yan let go of his hand, and Cheng Jiu immediately sat on the ground in a split position with a painful expression on his face.
"Oops, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you in advance..." Chai Yan looked at Cheng Jiu with a concerned look on his face and asked, "How are you doing, are your crotch not torn?"
Cheng Jiu was feeling uncomfortable and had no time to reply to Chai Yan's words.
Situ Zhou secretly shook his head, thinking that he still wanted to practice martial arts at this time.
"Lord Situ."
Ge Hong raised his hand in greeting and walked over with Guan Maochun and others.
"Ge Yingxiong." Situ Zhou returned his hand.
Ge Hong felt awkward about this title for a long time, so he immediately said: "Master Situ, please stop calling me that. If others hear the joke, I will blush too."
Situ Zhou thought about it and it was right. They called her that because they saved their daughter before to show respect. Now that they are close to each other, it is time to change the name.
"What should it be called?"
Situ Zhou thought that he couldn't call him Lao Ge like Chai Yan, because he was much younger than himself.
Ge Hong thought for a while and said: "Master Situ, Ge is having a threesome at home, so just call me Ge San!"
"Gesan... Well, let's call him Ge San." Situ Zhou thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Ge Hong also nodded immediately.
When Chai Yan saw the two of them finished speaking, he asked, "Master Situ, why are you here?"
Situ Zhou's expression suddenly became serious and he said: "Sir Chai, something is wrong outside..."
"What's wrong?" Chai Yan looked stern.
Situ Zhou said seriously: "There is no one outside..."
"There's no one left?" Chai Yan asked.
"Well, those people guarding the door have all dispersed..." Situ Zhou nodded and said, "But I always feel that something is wrong... Mr. Chai, why don't you do it yourself?"
Go and have a look..."
"Okay!" Chai Yan agreed immediately, and then prepared to follow Situ Zhou to the gate of the county government.
After taking just two steps, Chai Yan stopped and turned around and said, "Lao Ge, you must remember, no matter what happens, don't leave here!"
"Understood!" Ge Hong nodded heavily.
Chai Yan nodded slightly, then called Situ Zhou to leave.
After the two left, Ge Hong turned around and looked at Cheng Jiu. He was still sitting on the ground with his arms crossed, so he frowned and said, "Why are you still hanging on?"
Cheng Jiu looked troubled, his nose and eyebrows were bunched up, and he said: "Why are you all standing there in a daze? Give me a hand!"
Upon hearing this, Ge Hong couldn't help but be happy. Yu Tie and Fatty Lai ran to pick up Cheng Jiu while suppressing their laughter.

On the other side, Chai Yan and Situ Zhou came to the county government gate while talking.
At this time, the gate was still tightly blocked. There were about twenty government officials guarding the gate, but many of them looked listless and tired.
On the right side of the county government gate, there is a ladder leaning against the wall. A government servant is climbing on the ladder, looking left and right at the street outside the government office.
This is a sentry post specially arranged by Situ Zhou. It is located on all sides of the county government office.
Chai Yan and Situ Zhou went straight to the ladder. Chai Yan reached out and patted the ladder and called, "Come down."
The yamen servant on the ladder turned his head and looked down, then immediately stepped back and stood aside.
Without saying a word, Chai Yan climbed up the ladder with the help of his hands and feet. When he looked out, he saw that the street in front and back was empty.
"I'll go, there's really no one left..." Chai Yan couldn't help but muttered.
Chai Yan raised his ears and listened while looking around. The streets outside the county government office were completely silent, and it was so quiet that it was scary.
After a while, Chai Yan came down from the ladder, and the yamen servant immediately climbed up the ladder and continued to observe.
Situ Zhou asked: "Sir Chai, what do you think?"
Chai Yan frowned and looked at Situ Zhou, then whispered back: "There is indeed something wrong..."
Then, Chai Yan fell into thinking and walked in front of the county government gate.
Suddenly, Chai Yan turned to look at Situ Zhou and said, "Could it be that Su Jushiyong figured it out and gave in and withdrew?"
Situ Zhou shook his head and said: "No, Su Jushiyong's most precious son is his son, there is no way he will be left alone!"
"Then, they are planning to take action!" Chai Yan said.
Situ Zhou nodded carefully, he was thinking the same thing as Chai Yan.
Chai Yan thought for a moment and said, "Master Situ, when you say they are withdrawing at this time, do you want us to relax our vigilance?"
Situ Zhou said: "It's very possible! I'm going to remind them not to let their guard down!"
With that said, Situ Zhou walked to the gate and gave instructions to the government officials.
Chai Yan followed Situ Zhou and watched. Although all the government officials nodded in agreement, their faces showed perfunctory and helpless expressions, and they were unable to cheer up...
While Situ Zhou was speaking, Chai Yan stepped forward and whispered a few words to Situ Zhou.
Situ Zhou was slightly startled and looked sideways at Chai Yan: "But Mr. Chai..."
"Don't worry, I'll pay for it, just announce it to everyone!" Chai Yan said calmly.
Seeing what he said, Situ Zhou announced loudly: "Master Chai said that today everyone will stick to their posts and do their duty with all their heart. When the storm is over tomorrow, everyone will be rewarded with five taels of silver!"
"Wow, five taels!"
"Five taels, really?"
As soon as Situ Zhou's words came out, there was an explosion among the government officials. The perfunctory look on everyone's faces instantly disappeared, replaced by excitement and excitement.
There are more than thirty yamen servants in the county government, and each person only has 5 taels but only more than 100 taels. Chaiyan can still afford this money.
Chai Yan took a step forward, pressed his hands to calm everyone down, and then said: "Don't worry, everyone, what I say is absolutely accurate! But the prerequisite is that everyone must be in high spirits, and there must be no trace of it.
I’m slacking off, do you understand me?”
"I understand!" The government officials responded with loud and high-pitched voices as if they were drunk.
Chai Yan nodded with satisfaction: "Very good!"
Situ Zhou watched from the sidelines, thinking that money was the most effective way to boost morale!
Then, Chai Yan said to Situ Zhou: "Master Situ, I will leave this to you. You will divide these people into two groups in a while, and take turns to watch and rest. I will go elsewhere..."
"Thank you, Mr. Chai!" Situ Zhou said, cupping his hands.
Chai Yan waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the depths of the county government office.
