Constable Zheng's opening speech was fairly normal, but then he moved on to the matter of the donation silver.
"It's now the third day since the collection of the donation silver began. Over the past two days, many constables have reported good news, having successfully collected the full amounts. Others are working hard and are on track to finish.
However, at this time, I must harshly criticize certain constables who have neglected their duties and, to this day, have not made a single visit! I won't name names here!
In the end, it's the results that matter! If the outcome is satisfactory, then I'll pretend this never happened, and we can put this behind us. But if the results are also subpar, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Constable Zheng spoke at length from the high platform, his remarks clearly pointed.
Standing next to Chen Ping'an, Zeng Jihe couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
'We're screwed. He's talking about us!'
