The most arrogant in history

Chapter 38: The county magistrate confiscated the property and the prefectural governor exterminated

"Why aren't you two sleeping yet?"

Ye Kun rubbed his eyes and said, "By the way, I am not a master. I am just a commoner."

He is now only the acting county lieutenant, responsible for working for County Magistrate Liu to suppress bandits.

After suppressing the bandits, I am still an ordinary citizen.

When suppressing bandits, Ye Kun claimed to be a county lieutenant in order to protect his privacy and prevent any bandits from escaping the net and seeking revenge on him in Cao Miao Village.

The two sisters-in-law didn't care and still called him Master:

"Master, our whole family was killed and the bodies were thrown under the cliff in front. We want to leave here tomorrow. Please allow us to go to the cliff to pay tribute to our relatives."

That’s what it meant.

Ye Kun nodded, picked up the torch, stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you there."

Yu Lian and Chun Hua were extremely grateful and kowtowed again, then followed Ye Kun towards the cliff in front of the camp.

The cliff is only fifty meters away from the camp.

Ye Kun had asked the captives before, and they said that the cliff was a hundred feet deep, and there was a large rift valley below, which ran for ten miles from east to west. The environment was harsh, with miasma everywhere and poisonous snakes and insects everywhere.

And there are countless corpses below.

Over the years, the robbers would kill the women they had captured and then throw them down the cliff. They would also throw the hostages they had captured down the cliff if they could not extort money from them.

So during this bandit suppression campaign, the robbers were forced into a desperate situation by Ye Kun and did not dare to go deep into the ravine under the cliff.

Because if you go down there you will die, and that is not a place for people to stay.

When they reached the edge of the cliff, Yulian and Chunhua knelt down together, facing the canyon below, crying bitterly, their voices heartbreaking.

Ye Kun also sighed.

The robbers killed people without restraint, gnashing their teeth and sucking blood. Why did you come here from afar? !

Behind him, there were footsteps. Qin Erwu limped over with a torch in his hand and stood beside Ye Kun without saying a word.

Ye Kun nodded slightly.

On the top of the cliff, the night wind is cool.

Yulian and Chunhua were still crying, and their tears were getting louder and louder.

Ye Kun stepped forward, took off his robe, put it on his sister-in-law Chunhua's shoulders, and comforted her:

"The dead cannot be resurrected. Please accept my condolences and go back to rest. I have killed the robber, which is also revenge for your family."

Chunhua Yulian turned around to thank him and bowed.

Qin Erwu was a bit stupid and blurted out:

"Brother Dalang, you should be a good person and do your best. Tomorrow, tie a rope and bring up the body of the relative. Then find a place to bury him. It will be a good deed."

Upon hearing this, Chunhua and Yulian looked at Ye Kun pitifully.

Ye Kun was annoyed and glared at Qin Erwu: "Okay, tomorrow we will go down together. As long as you dare to go down, I will dare to go down!"

In his previous life, Ye Kun also liked rock climbing and bungee jumping.

Someone here has a hemp rope, so be prepared. Even if Ye Kun really goes down, he will not be afraid.

Qin Erwu grinned: "What are you afraid of? I'll accompany you tomorrow!"

thump!

Chunhua and Yulian knelt down again and kowtowed to Ye Kun: "Master, we will work like slaves to repay your kindness!"

This time, Ye Kun was completely trapped.

"You're welcome. Bring up the remains of your family members tomorrow and we'll talk."

Ye Kun shook his head and took Qin Erwu back to the camp, asking, "Erwu, how come your other leg didn't limp during the battle today?"

This guy will only be obedient if both of his legs are lame!

Qin Erwu was puzzled: "I'm not injured, why am I limping?"

"Well, you better be careful."

Ye Kun stared at Qin Erwu's good legs, wondering when he could find an excuse to interrupt them.

Early the next morning.

County Magistrate Liu and County Assistant Magistrate Wang arrived, bringing with them a dozen men.

Ye Kun had worked hard all night and was now sitting in front of the cave door, sleeping soundly with his spear in his arms.

County Magistrate Liu was very moved and said to County Magistrate Wang: "Mr. Ye never took off his armor or put down his spear. He was conscientious in his duties. He is really a tough guy!"

County Magistrate Wang chuckled and said, "Master Liu is right."

Ye Kun was awakened, rubbed his eyes, stood up and clasped his fists: "Master Liu, you are here? I have sealed all the robbers' property in the warehouse and registered it, waiting for your decision."

"Well, Mr. Ye really didn't let me down!"

County Magistrate Liu laughed and followed Ye Kun into the warehouse to take inventory of the property.

Ye Kun took the registration form and checked the accounts one by one in person.

County Magistrate Liu took the registration form and said to County Magistrate Wang:

"County Magistrate Wang, please register again. I'll read it out and you take note... 250 grams of gold, 170 grams of silver, 150 grams of loose copper coins, 1 roll of rags of silk, 3 rolls of fine linen, some coarse linen, some corn and brown rice, and other rags can be ignored."

Ye Kun was stunned.

This County Magistrate Liu is more promising than I thought.

I thought that County Magistrate Liu would be half evil, but unexpectedly, he wanted all of it!

However, Ye Kun had already promised to give the soldiers a reward, and he had to honor it, so he said:

"Master Liu, yesterday, in order to encourage the brothers to kill the enemy, I promised to give each brother two taels of silver, and ten taels of pension to the brothers who died."

County Magistrate Liu frowned: "Isn't this too much? All the silver is given to these soldiers. Is it worth it?"

"Not much." Ye Kun smiled: "My Lord, you have compassion for your subordinates. These soldiers will swear to be loyal to you until death. And I have already promised, and I cannot regret it."

"Well, since you agreed, let's do as you said."

Ye Kun nodded and asked Zhu Dachun and Qin Erwu to take the silver and divide the spoils according to the number of their men.

County Magistrate Liu smiled and said to Ye Kun:

"Mr. Ye has made great contributions in suppressing the bandits. I was going to give you half of these properties, but... the county treasury is empty, and I still owe taxes to the court. So I thought I would give you one third first, and the rest will be considered a loan from me, you see..."

You bastard, you really are targeting me!

Ye Kun laughed:

"I am just a commoner with a humble life. It was only under the command and coordination of Lord Liu that I was lucky enough to win the victory in suppressing the bandits. How dare I take credit for it? Whatever you give me, it is a reward to me. I don't care how much it is!"

County Magistrate Liu was overjoyed and shook Ye Kun's hand: "I have long heard from Shangguan Jifu that Mr. Ye values ​​righteousness over money. Now that I have met him today, I know that what he said is true."

County Magistrate Wang also gave a thumbs up and praised Ye Kun.

The two thieves discussed it and gave Ye Kun three taels of gold, one hundred taels of silver, thirty strings of copper coins, and some jewelry and jade ornaments.

There were also some silk cloth and one hundred kilograms of coarse salt.

Ye Kun didn't care and accepted the spoils, and also asked for two copper basins and a copper pot from the robbers' den.

County Magistrate Liu organized the county's soldiers to carry valuables down the mountain, and dug three feet into the ground to search the entire camp.

It was noisy and didn't end until noon.

There were still a lot of rags left in the camp. County Magistrate Liu was straightforward and said with a smile: "Mr. Ye, if you like the remaining things, you can take them all back."

"Okay, I'll take a look and take back whatever is useful and give it to the villagers."

Ye Kun nodded and said to County Magistrate Liu:

"I have two new concubines. The family of the concubines was thrown off a cliff by the bandit leader, the fierce bear, the day before yesterday. I plan to go under the cliff to look for the remains of the concubines' family. County Magistrate and County Magistrate Wang, do you want to stay and take a look?"

Ye Kun asked Magistrate Liu to stay in order to prove his innocence.

Otherwise, the dog county magistrate would suspect that he was hiding the robbers' property, which would be very dangerous.

The county magistrate confiscated the property of the county, and the prefectural governor exterminated the entire family.

The dog county magistrate has the power to cover up everything. Once he becomes suspicious of me, he might even destroy me!
