The most arrogant in history

"I understand, my Lord."

Zhou Tielan quickly agreed, went to the kitchen to get hot water, and served her personally.

These two days have been very hard.

Ye Kun slept in and got up at noon. He took Zhou Tielan to count the Zhou family's property.

Qin Chou and the entire village were waiting here for orders.

Apart from a large amount of land, real estate and real estate, the Zhou family did not have much money.

Three or five taels of gold, more than one hundred taels of silver, dozens of copper coins, and some jewelry and jade.

There were also livestock, chickens and ducks, horse and ox carts, clothes and quilts...

However, Ye Kun also found many IOUs.

Those who owe money include those from this village and those from other villages.

Ye Kun asked Qin Chou to notify the debtors from other villages to gather together, and then he took the IOUs and read them one by one, asking everyone to come up.

After reading it, Ye Kun asked Qin Chou to light a fire, throw the IOUs into the fire one by one, and said with a smile:

"Fellow villagers, the money you owe to the Zhou family will be written off from now on. You don't have to pay it back!"

The debtors were all smiling and knelt down to kowtow: "Thank you, Master Ye!"

Ye Kun waved his hand and said:

"The money found in the Zhou family must be handed over. However, I, the county lieutenant, will make the decision. The Zhou family's livestock, chickens, ducks, horse and ox carts, the villagers in this village should discuss and divide them up!"

Beating the local tyrants and dividing their land is the best way to win people's hearts.

As long as he unites the majority of the villagers, Ye Kun will not be afraid.

The villagers cheered: "Master Ye, you are the best to us!"

Ye Kun smiled and brought Qin Chou, Qin Erwu, Wang Da Kui and Yan Liu Hai to the backyard.

Then, he took out a dozen taels of silver:

"You can divide these quietly. As for the Zhou family's livestock, chickens and ducks, you can discuss and divide them with the villagers."

Qin Chou sighed and smiled bitterly:

"Brother Dalang, we have made a mortal enemy with the Zhou family. Grandpa Zhou also has an eldest son and a third son, both of whom are serving in Changsha County. I am afraid that in the future..."

"Don't forget, it was your brother Erwu who shot Zhou Taigong to death with one arrow."

Ye Kun chuckled: "Qin Chou, it's too late to shrink your head now."

When we suppressed the bandits yesterday, Ye Kun brought the tiger-hunting team with him. This was to bind them together so that everyone could bear the risk together!

Otherwise, Ye Kun would kill the entire family, which would be too risky.

"Kill them if you want. I won't back down. Grandpa Zhou and his son colluded with the bandits and killed several people in our village. They deserve to die!"

Qin Erwu and Yan Liuhai are both very strong-willed!

"Erwu Liuhai is right!"

Ye Kun smiled, led everyone out again, and said to the villagers in front of the door:

"Fellow villagers, the Zhou family's belongings have been distributed to everyone. However, Zhou Taigong and Zhou Tiehu are dead. The dead are the greatest. Please help bury them."

The villagers nodded together: "This is what we should do."

Ye Kun turned around and looked at Zhou Tielan: "Tielan, why don't you kowtow to the villagers?"

Zhou Tielan knelt down hurriedly: "Thank you, fellow villagers. I kowtow to you."

The villagers all laughed and said, "Tielan is Lord Ye's concubine. We are not worthy of her."

Someone else laughed and said, "Master Ye, Tielan is the daughter of a landlord and eats well. If you work hard, you can have twin sons next year!"

Someone else laughed slyly: "The young lady of the landlord's family is spoiled, Lord Ye, please be gentler."

The villagers usually suffer from bullying, but now, just joking with them can be considered as revenge.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "I took her in because I felt sorry for Tielan and saved her life."

After dealing with the Zhou family’s affairs, Ye Kun went to Guanjia Village to deal with the Guan family’s property.

Unexpectedly, County Magistrate Liu was also here.

"Master Liu, why are you here?"

"County Lieutenant Ye, thank you for your hard work."

County Magistrate Liu rolled his eyes, pulled Ye Kun into the house, and shook his head:

"Master Ye, you are so cruel. You killed Grandpa Zhou and Lao Guan's entire family! Lao Guan and his two sons also jumped out of the car and escaped on the way yesterday. They were killed on the spot. You arranged all this, right?"

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Master Liu, isn't colluding with robbers a capital crime?"

"That's all." County Magistrate Liu shook his head.

"I will hand over the money of the Guan family to the government treasury. I will also take in those concubines, poor little girls... The house and land of the Guan family will be yours, Lord Ye. You had military merit last time, and you got four hectares of land and four mu of house. I will give the land and house of the Guan family to you now. The house of the Guan family is worth a thousand taels of silver, you got a great bargain."

"Thank you, Master Liu!"

Ye Kun clasped his fists and asked again: "Sir, Zhou Taigong's family has several hundred acres of land and houses. Let's give them to Qin Chou, Qin Erwu, and Yan Liuhai Wang Da Kui. Because last time, they also had military merits and were given titles."

In the Battle of Xiping Mountain, except Ye Kun, the Qin Chou brothers, Wang Da Kui and Yan Liu Hai, Wang Bao and Zhu Dachun were all awarded second-level titles.

The two hectares of land and two mu of house for each person have not been implemented yet.

It's just right to divide Zhou Taigong's land and properties among them!

This is also Ye Kun's plan to shift the blame to Jiangdong and further bind Qin Chou and others!

"Okay, I'll give it to them right away, and you deal with it."

County Magistrate Liu sighed, "I'm going to go back first. Lao Guan's concubines and two little daughters are all scared silly. I have to go back and comfort them. After all, Lao Guan and I are friends."

"Yes, Lord Liu loves his people like his own children. You must take good care of Lao Guan's concubine and daughter." Ye Kun clasped his fists and saw him off respectfully.

This damn county magistrate, how can he love his people like his own sons? He clearly loves his daughters like his own sons. Now he should go home and enjoy himself!

"That's right. I have always been considerate of the people."

County Magistrate Liu smiled and suddenly said, "Master Ye, you got a great bargain this time. From now on, you will get a smaller share of the profits from selling salt. Is that okay with you?"

Old dog!

Ye Kun was so angry that he laughed. He clasped his fists and said, "I still say the same thing. No matter how much, it is a reward from you, my Lord!"

"Hahaha, Brother Ye, you are worthy of being my confidant." County Magistrate Liu laughed and left.

Ye Kun walked him out the door, sneering in his heart.

One day, I will become a big worry to you!

Please keep my money for now.

You, a dog county magistrate, are my next big client!

County Magistrate Wang was waiting outside the door, holding Ye Kun's hand and saying with a smile:

"Master Ye, Guan Laogui has many IOUs here. They are all debts owed by nearby villagers. It totals to two thousand taels of silver. Master Liu said that this money is a reward for you. Go and collect it."

"Thank you two adults!"

Ye Kun couldn't help but curse in his heart again.

These debts are old debts accumulated by the poor over the years. Can I get them back by myself?

"Then Sir Ye, come with me. I will hand over the formalities."

County Magistrate Wang brought Ye Kun to a bedroom and opened the box: "The IOUs are all here, Lord Ye, please take your time to count them, haha."

As he spoke, County Magistrate Wang winked secretly.

Ye Kun understood: "You two adults, please go back. I will take care of the rest."

County Magistrate Wang nodded and left with County Magistrate Liu.

Ye Kun checked the wooden slip of IOU in the box, and sure enough, there was a bag of gold buried underneath, a full one hundred taels, and some jewels.

This was the benefit that County Magistrate Wang kept for himself after the house was confiscated.

I just don’t know how much this old dog, County Magistrate Wang, has embezzled!

However, Ye Kun was easily satisfied. He took the gold and jewelry, came to the door, and greeted Zhao Biao and others.

The villagers of Guanjia Village were all there, watching the fun and also wanting to make some money.

Ye Kun waved his hand and said:

"This county lieutenant has absolutely no selfish motives in suppressing bandits. Now, Lord Guan's house and land are all my rewards for military merit, but I don't want them. I will give them all to the folks in Shangguan Village and Xiaguan Village!"

The villagers were stunned and cheered: "Lord Ye, you are a good official!"

Ye Kun nodded and said:

"Also, if any of you owe Master Guan money, come here and take your IOU. You don't have to pay it back. From now on, it's all written off!"

The villagers were even more ecstatic and all knelt down:

"Master Ye, you are our second parent. We will never forget your kindness."

About half of the folks here owe money to Master Guan.

The arrears were waived, the land was distributed, and all the residents of Guanjia Village were lifted out of poverty!

Ye Kun called the village chief Guan Yong and the tiger hunting team leader Zhao Biao:

"How to divide the land and houses? You should discuss with the villagers. You must ensure fairness and give some preference to the poor."

Guan Yong is a relative of Master Guan, but they have never gotten along. He clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Master Ye, we will be fair."

Ye Kun left the IOUs and asked Guan Yong and Zhao Biao to deal with them.

He walked towards the little Jasmine in the crowd and said with a smile: "Jasmine, why don't you call me uncle today?"

"Uncle, I kowtow to you."

Little Jasmine was very sensible. She knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Uncle, you are doing something important. I dare not disturb you."

"Good boy, come on, take me to see your mother."

Ye Kun picked up Jasmine and walked towards the dilapidated house in Caojiashan.

In front of the door, Cao Jiashan's wife stood up, knelt down and kowtowed: "Master Ye..."

After losing her hearing, Jasmine's mother looked much better and was able to get out of bed and walk around. It seemed that she would not die.

"Sister-in-law, get up quickly."

Ye Kun put Jasmine down and helped the woman up: "Where is Brother Cao? Why can't I see him?"

"My father took grandma to the county town for medical treatment." Jasmine said quickly.

As they were talking, another little girl walked into the room. She was about thirteen or fourteen years old, had grown tall, had fair skin, and big, watery eyes. She was obviously Jasmine's sister.

Although her clothes were tattered, they could not hide her pure beauty.

"Is this Duoduo?" Ye Kun was amazed.

"Yes, uncle, this is my sister." Jasmine was very happy and called to her sister, "Sister, kowtow to uncle quickly."

"Master Ye, I kowtow to you."

Duoduo knelt down hurriedly: "Sir, my parents said that it was you who took the silver, saved our family, and redeemed me from Master Guan's house. You are our family's great benefactor..."

"Get up quickly."

Ye Kun pulled Duoduo up, couldn't help but take another look at her, nodded and said, "What a pretty little sister, it's rare to see one."

Duoduo lowered his head and didn't dare to answer.

Ye Kun turned around and smiled at Jasmine's mother, "Mrs. Cao, you are so lucky to have raised two such outstanding girls."

Jasmine's mother's eyes turned red:

"Thank you, sir. My son is dead, and only these two little girls are left. Sir, if you don't mind, take Duoduo with you and make her a maid and let her serve you."

"No, Duoduo and Jasmine cannot be maids." Ye Kun smiled.

"Sir..." Jasmine's mother was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"But Duoduo is still young. It will take two years before she can become your concubine. Of course, being your concubine is also Duoduo's blessing. If you like this girl, you can...have her now."

Ye Kun saved the lives of the entire family.

Jasmine's mother felt that this was the only way she could repay the kindness.

Duoduo on the side blushed, glanced at Ye Kun, and lowered her head to pinch the corner of her clothes.
