The most arrogant in history

Jiang Guoxiong snorted and said with a straight face:

"That's all. Ye Kun, I warn you, you have no official position, so you can't manage the affairs of our Jianghetou Village! The tiger-hunting team in Caomiao Village are not soldiers, I don't believe they dare to arrest and kill people!"

Jiang Laowu laughed and said, "Ye Dalang, unless you are an official, I will obey you!"

"Excuse me, I am indeed an official! I am Ye Kun, the county lieutenant, and I am here to take office. Here is my official seal!"

Ye Kun sneered, took out the county lieutenant's seal from his arms and held it in his hand.

Since the county lieutenant rarely sat in court and was often out recruiting soldiers, training troops, suppressing bandits and catching thieves, and inspecting passes, he always carried the seal with him.

"Are you the county lieutenant?"

Jiang Guoxiong and others were shocked!

Jiang Guozhu, Jiang Youbao and others were also dumbfounded.

How come my own son-in-law is the county lieutenant?

It's not an imposter, right?

Qin Erwu glared and shouted, "Ye Kun is the new county lieutenant of this county. You bunch of unruly people, why don't you kneel down and pay your respects to him!"

Yan Liuhai shouted, "Jiang Guoxiong, we are not the tiger-hunting team of Caomiao Village now, but the officers and soldiers under the county lieutenant. We followed County Lieutenant Ye and came to your Jianghetou for official business. Anyone who dares to resist arrest and resist the law will be killed without mercy!"

Jiang Guoxiong was stunned for a moment, knowing that Ye Kun did not dare to pretend to be the county lieutenant, he finally knelt down, kowtowed and shouted:

"I am blind and I deserve death. Please spare my life, sir."

Jiang Laowu and others also knelt down, kowtowed heavily, and shouted for mercy.

Ye Kun's face was as cold as frost, and he shouted:

"This county lieutenant maintains local law and order and is responsible for suppressing bandits and catching robbers. The day before yesterday, the army wiped out more than 200 bandits in Xiping Mountain. According to the bandit leader, Xiong, he has a hidden traitor in Jianghetou Village who gives him information and makes contact.

I see that Jiang Laowu and his brothers are arrogant and domineering, running rampant in the village, and I guess that the ruthless bear is backing them up. Come on, arrest all of Jiang Laowu's brothers, take them back and torture them, and interrogate them thoroughly! "

It’s great to be an official.

The word "official" can open your mouth and you can say whatever you want!

Jiang Youbao on the side was so happy that he almost went crazy, and he jumped up and shouted:

"Yes, yes, Jiang Laowu is in collusion with the bandits in Xiping Mountain. Master, quickly capture them and chop off their dog heads!"

"Shut up, I know what to do."

Ye Kun glared at his brother-in-law.

Do I need your instructions when I do things?

Qin Erwu and others stepped forward, kicked Jiang Laowu to the ground, and tied him up with hemp ropes.

Jiang Laowu screamed like a pig being slaughtered: "I was wrong, please spare my life, sir! I didn't collude with the robbers, it's unjust, sir!"

Jiang Guoxiong also kowtowed repeatedly: "Sir, please forgive us. We know we were wrong and we will never dare to do it again."

Ye Kun knew when to stop and pouted at Jiang Yourong, signaling her to be a good person.

Jiang Laowu and others are just ordinary people. Ye Kun cannot really accuse them of colluding with robbers and causing them to lose everything.

However, Jiang Yourong was simple and innocent, and could not understand what Ye Kun meant. She asked hesitantly:

"Husband, what are you..."

There is no tacit understanding at all.

Ye Kun held back his laughter and winked and pursed his lips at his father-in-law Jiang Guozhu.

Jiang Guozhu finally understood and stepped forward with his fists clasped:

"My dear son-in-law, the clan leader Jiang Guoxiong is my cousin... Jiang Laowu is also my nephew. I think in this matter, you should..."

"Well, since my father-in-law has said so, I will review this matter again."

Ye Kun followed suit and shouted:

"Temporarily detain Jiang Laowu and the others in front of the door and keep them under careful watch. Clan leader Jiang Guoxiong, please come into my room and talk to me. Other people, please wait outside."

Jiang Guoxiong knew that things had taken a turn for the better, and kowtowed to express his gratitude: "Thank you, County Lieutenant, for saving my life."

Jiang Guoxiong also knew that it would be very easy for the county lieutenant to kill Jiang Laowu.

You will be charged with collusion with a robber and taken back to be tortured. If you don't die, you will lose half your life.

Ye Kun winked at his father-in-law again and invited him to come into the house.

Jiang Youbao also wanted to enter the house, but was stopped by Qin Erwu.

In the room, there were only Ye Kun and his wife, as well as Jiang Guozhu and Jiang Guoxiong.

"Sir County Lieutenant, I failed to educate my son properly and I deserve to be put to death." Jiang Guoxiong knelt down again.

"Patriarch, no need to be polite."

Ye Kun helped Jiang Guoxiong up and said:

"You and my father-in-law are brothers from the same clan, blood relatives, and you really shouldn't use fists and feet against each other. What's more, your son Jiang Laowu is the junior of my father-in-law."

"Yes, yes, I am guilty of not teaching my son well!"

Jiang Guoxiong slapped himself left and right.

"Alright, Patriarch."

Ye Kun stopped Jiang Guoxiong: "My father-in-law pleaded with me, so I will not pursue this matter any further. I can release Jiang Laowu and others, but they must kowtow to my father-in-law and apologize."

"Yes, yes, I'll let them all kowtow!" Jiang Guoxiong nodded repeatedly.

Ye Kun was satisfied and said to the outside of the door: "Let brother Jiang Laowu come in."

Jiang Laowu and his brothers walked in with their heads lowered.

Jiang Guoxiong went up and started beating him, cursing, "Why don't you kneel down and thank the county lieutenant for saving your life?"

Everyone knelt down and kowtowed to express their gratitude.

Then, he kowtowed to Ye Kun's father-in-law to apologize.

Ye Kun nodded, pulled Jiang Laowu up, and said with a smile:

"Fifth brother, you don't have to be so polite. Although I am a worthless son-in-law, we are still relatives after all. In the future, we will make money together. I will help you get rich."

Jiang Laowu didn't know whether Ye Kun was saying good things or bad things, and he was so scared that he wanted to kowtow again.

Ye Kun waved his hand and said, "Fifth brother, go and call all the widows, widowers, orphans, disabled people, pregnant women, children under seven, and elderly people over sixty in the village. I have something to say."

Jiang Laowu nodded and ran away as fast as the wind.

Ye Kun called Jiang Yourong again and talked quietly to her.

Jiang Yourong listened with a red face and nodded slightly.

Not long after, thirty or forty villagers came to the door, all of them were widows, widowers, orphans, the elderly, children, and a few pregnant women.

Jiang Yourong, accompanied by Ye Kun, walked out of the door and said:

"My fellow villagers, I am visiting my parents today and I have brought no gifts for you... Here are some copper coins. I invited you all here and I am going to share them with you. Each person will receive 100 coins..."

After saying these two sentences, Jiang Yourong broke out in a sweat.

Speaking in public is more tiring than the etiquette of Zhou Gong!

Ye Kun estimated that there were about fifty people in the crowd in front of the house, so he took out five strings of money and asked the clan leader Jiang Guoxiong to distribute them.

The villagers were all smiling and knelt on the ground and kowtowed:

"Thank you, Lord County Lieutenant, thank you, Lady County Lieutenant... Thank you, Uncle, thank you, Aunt Yourong..."

One hundred coins, in the countryside, can guarantee a person three months longer life!

Jiang Yourong also experienced the joy of "throwing money" and laughed happily.

"Aunt Yourong, it's time for us to eat. I'm hungry."

Ye Kun smiled and patted Jiang Yourong on the shoulder.

Jiang Yourong blushed and lowered her head and said, "Sister-in-law is cooking. It should be ready."

In public, Ye Kun's intimate little gesture made Jiang Yourong shy and extremely sweet.

Aunt Xue Sangu had already prepared the food and drinks.

Ye Kun also invited the clan leader Jiang Guoxiong to stay and have dinner together.

Jiang Guoxiong was filled with gratitude and stood up and said:

"The county lieutenant's son-in-law repays evil with kindness, which is truly a magnanimous gentleman. From now on, I will obey your orders in everything, even if I die."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "I am a county lieutenant, and I work one day at a time. But Jiang Hetou's son-in-law has to be his for life. So, we are relatives for life."

"Yes, yes, lifelong relatives." The patriarch nodded repeatedly.

"Chief, I see that there is a lot of clay by the river in your village, which is suitable for kiln kiln making bricks." Ye Kun changed the subject and said:

"I want to build a kiln here to make bricks and tiles. Leave this matter to the clan leader and my eldest brother-in-law. I will give you ten taels of silver first. You start working immediately. I will take as much as you make."

There are only mud houses in the countryside, no brick houses.

In order to plan for the long term, Ye Kun needs a large number of bricks and tiles to complete his construction.

The patriarch was overjoyed and patted his chest and said:

"Don't worry, sir. We have people in our village who can make bricks and tiles by firing kilns. Youbao and I will definitely do a good job on this!"

Jiang Youbao was also happy, and he laughed, "Son-in-law, do you still want to buy the hemp silk?"

"Take it. Take as much as you can."

Ye Kun nodded and said, "Brother-in-law, you should discuss everything with the clan leader and ask Jiang Laowu and the others to help with the work and give them wages."

After the meal, clan leaders Jiang Guoxiong and Jiang Youbao took ten taels of silver and hurried to do their work.

Aunt Xue held her son in her arms and said with a smile, "Son-in-law, come over here. I have something to tell you."

Ye Kun was stunned.

Sister-in-law, do you have any secrets to tell me?

Could it be that he wants to seduce me?
