Village Chief Sun and others had not been gone long when Gu Jin'an returned from school.
Upon learning about Village Chief Sun and Wenhao's situation, he sneered inwardly and told the angry Third Grandpa and Luo Family People, "Don't worry, County Captain Jiang has sent a message from the teacher, saying that the Lord County Magistrate has already gone to the Prefecture. Village Chief Sun won't be able to jump around much longer."
Gu Jin'an shared with them his proposal to Scholar Shang, about removing the unnecessary village chiefs in Great Chu.
After hearing this, Third Grandpa laughed, saying, "Good, good, good, those redundant village chiefs should indeed be removed!"
They do nothing all day but trouble these poor folks when collecting grain taxes, especially since there are indeed too many village chiefs in Great Chu; just in their hometown alone, there are four village chiefs.
