The Court Asked Me to Recruit People, and I Recruited the Bandits into the Court

Shen Yan was ordered to recruit bandits from Anshan. On the first day he took office, the food he brought was split open with a knife. The bag is not filled with rice, but with sand. The county magistrate swallowed the grain, and the officers and soldiers waited to see him die. The Eighteen Villages announced that anyone who dared to go to the mountain to recruit people would be hanged at the gate of the village. But Shen Yan couldn't retreat. His mother and sister are still in jail. If he fails to recruit them, the whole family will die. Fortunately, the court gave him eighteen blank papers to submit his petition. So Shen Yan changed his approach. Refuse to go down the mountain? Cut off your financial path first. The village is short of food? Fight the county government with him. The army besieged the city? Post their debts all over the city walls. Others rely on imperial edicts, silver and swords to recruit people. Shen Yan relied on letting the bandits discover—— There is no way to survive if you follow the imperial court. If you follow him, you can really become the imperial court.
