The most arrogant in history

Cao Jiashan bent down and crawled out of the low thatched house. After a moment of surprise, he knelt down quickly and said, "Master Ye, I kowtow to you!"

"stand up!"

Ye Kun waved his hand: "We are all fellow villagers, no need to be polite. How are your mother and your wife?"

"My wife is feeling better now, but I'm afraid my mother...is not going to make it."

Cao Jiashan burst into tears.

Ye Kun sighed and took the gift from the horse: "Take me to see your mother and your wife."

Cao Jiashan nodded and led Ye Kun into the house.

Cao's mother was in her sixties and was sleeping in the west bedroom. She was unconscious, refusing to take any medicine and not responding to calls.

More air out, less air in.

Zhao Biao took a look and shook his head, saying, "Master Ye, I'm afraid Jiashan's mother is dying."

"If Mother Cao is gone, Brother Zhao can help out and take care of things."

Ye Kun nodded, put down the gift, and went to the east bedroom to visit Cao Jiashan’s wife, who was Xiao Moli’s mother.

The woman was less than 40 years old and had decent features, but her face was filled with bitterness and hatred, and half of her hair was white. She struggled to get out of bed and kowtow to Ye Kun.

"Brother Cao, please help my sister-in-law. No need to be polite."

Ye Kun waved his hand.

Zhao Biao also glared: "If you are about to die, don't get up, Lord Ye won't be surprised!"

Jasmine's mother finally stopped and said in tears:

"Master Ye, thanks to you for saving my life and also saving Little Jasmine... After I die, I will be your slave in my next life..."

"Okay, sister-in-law."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Just take care of yourself and when you get better, take Jasmine to Cao Miao Village and help me with work. Brother Cao, follow me and find a job in the county town. In a year or so, I will make you rich."

"Thank you, sir." Cao Jiashan and his wife nodded repeatedly, and hope appeared in their eyes again.

"Is there anyone else at home?" Ye Kun asked again.

"And Jasmine, and her sister."

The woman took a breath and said, "Moli's sister is called Duo Yatou, she is thirteen years old, and she works for the landlord Guan Laoye to pay off his debts."

"Offsetting a debt? What's going on?" Ye Kun frowned.

Ye Kun knew this Mr. Guan, who lived in the neighboring Xiaguan Village.

Zhao Biao’s village is actually called Shangguan Village. The two villages combined are called Guanjia Village.

People of all surnames live together in Shangguan Village, while people of Xiaguan Village basically all have the surname Guan.

Among them, Lord Guan had the greatest power and the most money. He owned 300 acres of paddy fields, more dry land, and herds of cattle, horses and livestock.

Of course, there are also many concubines.

Moreover, Zhou Tielan, the youngest daughter of Zhou Taigong of Caomiao Village, is sixteen years old this year and has been promised to one of Guan Laoye's sons. It is said that they will get married at the end of the year.

Cao Jiashan sighed, "My family is poor. A few years ago, I borrowed one guan of money from Master Guan, with an interest of five cents. I have never been able to pay it back, and the interest has compounded, so the debt has increased. So, I had no choice but to send Duoduo to work at Master Guan's house."

Ye Kun frowned: "Isn't the money I gave you yesterday enough to pay you back?"

Five percent interest means a monthly interest rate of five percent.

The annual interest rate reaches sixty percent!

"I paid back two taels yesterday, and used the rest to buy medicine. Now I still owe more than one tael..."

Cao Jiashan wiped his tears and said, "To sum up, I have paid back more than three taels of silver in the past few years, but I still can't pay it back."

"Can you please stop crying, man? Show some self-esteem, okay? Besides crying, what else can you do?"

Ye Kun was furious and took out five taels of silver and threw it on the bed: "Go pay the money back this afternoon and bring Duoduo back!"

"grown ups……"

The Cao Jiashan couple cried even harder.

Ye Kun was very troubled and felt very disappointed with his friend.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back..."

There was a shout outside the door, and little Jasmine came into the house with half a basket of wild vegetables.

His face was covered in dust, but his eyes were bright.

When she saw Ye Kun, Xiao Jasmine was stunned.

Ye Kun finally smiled: "Jasmine, do you still recognize me?"

"Uncle, are you yesterday's uncle?"

Little Jasmine finally confirmed it, put down the basket and kowtowed:

"Uncle, I kowtowed to you yesterday. I kowtowed many times. You are a good person. You will bless my grandma and mom to get better."

"Moli, be good and stop kowtowing."

Ye Kun rushed forward, picked up Jasmine, spun her around, and gently put her down: "Uncle came to see you today and brought you a lot of delicious food. They are all in grandma's room, go get them."

"Uncle, I'll get it for you."

Little Jasmine nodded and ran to her grandmother's room.

This child is so sensible that it makes people's heart break.

Ye Kun pulled Zhao Biao and walked out of the hut, whispering, "Master Guan from Guanjia Village is very rich, right?"

Zhao Biao gritted his teeth and said, "People say that Master Guan is richer than the county magistrate."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "How is Master Guan's character?"

"What a rotten character! Everyone in Xiaguan Village is named Guan. His family also calls him Guan Jue Hu! People like him who bully men and women will be exterminated sooner or later!"

"So, does Master Guan have any backers?"

Ye Kun asked casually.

Tan Bamao, who came with him, laughed softly:

"Godfather, the backer of Master Guan is County Magistrate Liu. This old dog pays tribute to County Magistrate Liu every year. Sometimes, County Magistrate Liu also comes to his house for dinner and sleeps with his concubine."

Having served as yamen runners and constables for many years, they are very familiar with the situation of the entire county, especially the situation of the wealthy families.

Zhao Biao also nodded: "Yes, Guan Juehu's backer is County Magistrate Liu."

"That's it."

Ye Kun nodded slightly and had a plan in mind.

You make the poor families extinct, and I'll eat the rich families!

As for County Magistrate Liu, Ye Kun was not worried. This old bastard wanted to eat the rich more than he did!

At noon, Zhao Biao arranged wine and food, slaughtered two laying hens at home, and called several core members of the village's tiger-hunting team to drink with Ye Kun.

Ye Kun was generous and gave Mrs. Zhao five taels of silver directly, saying with a smile:

"Sister-in-law, Brother Zhao is so enthusiastic. I'll give you five taels of silver. You can ask Brother Zhao to buy a few concubines!"

Mrs. Zhao laughed so hard that her jaw almost dropped:

“Don’t worry, Lord Ye, five taels of silver can buy more than a dozen concubines. I will tire this bastard to death!”

Zhao Biao slapped him and cursed, "If you don't buy it for me, your father is a bastard."

Countryside couples don't have so many fancy words. Beating is a sign of love and scolding is a sign of affection. They are used to it.

After lunch, Ye Kun went back to Cao Miao Village to visit his mother, Yourong and Daixi.

And there is also the lovely second aunt.

Just arrived at the door and hasn't dismounted yet.

Ye Kun saw that San'er's head was wrapped in cloth with blood stains on it;

Ping'er's left eye also became swollen and black.

"San'er Ping'er, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Kun got off the horse, squatted down, and held Ping'er in his arms.

"Brother, I'm fine..." Ping'er was scared and didn't dare to say anything.

San'er didn't dare to say anything and just wiped his tears.

"Is my husband back?"

Jiang Yourong came out and pulled Ye Kun: "Go back to the house and talk."

Ye Kun nodded, carried Ping'er back into the house, and said with a smile, "Yourong, who beat San'er Ping'er like this?"

Logically speaking, Jiang Yourong has a good temper and should not hit these two poor children.

Even if the child is naughty, a few slaps on the face are enough as a punishment, and breaking his head is not necessary.
