After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

Seeing that Yang Fan was a little hesitant and worried about being discovered, Master Qian made an appointment to meet next time.

Yang Fan looked at Master Qian's back and laughed. What was the difference between him and the people in the government? They were all just as sanctimonious.

He turned around and led his men back to the mountain. Fearing that they were being followed, he took a long detour.

"Old Four, have the people over there agreed?"

It was already autumn, and the boss was in a very good mood. He put on some clothes, fanned himself and asked Yang Fan.

"Brother, that Lord Li refused to listen and just scolded me out."

The eldest boss was furious. "I gave them face. They really thought I was afraid of them. If it weren't for my brothers in the mountains, I would have been so humble as to go to them."

Yang Fan looked at the boss with a touched face, "Brother, we brothers know that you are willing to swallow this loss for our own good. We will swear to be loyal to you until death."

The eldest boss nodded in satisfaction, "There is no need to say this between us brothers. From now on, if there is food for me in the village, there will be no shortage for the brothers."

The two showed their brotherhood and returned to the topic.

"Brother, it's hard to talk to the guards over there, but Mr. Qian from the county government is a little tempted. But he wants to ask for an extra 50%."

The boss thought about it, calculated the money in the village, and finally agreed.

The leader of Erniu Mountain may seem to have a bad temper and be brave but not wise, but he actually has a lot of plans in mind.

After Yang Fan left, the boss went to a yard on the edge of the cliff.

"Dad, do you think the government is serious this time?"

The old man was lying on a recliner, clapping his hands and singing an opera.

"Does it matter whether it's true or not? Have you ever seen the village being breached in all these years? The people in this garrison are young and hot-tempered. They will behave themselves after a few setbacks."

The boss thought about it and realized that it was true. Every time there was a change of personnel in the garrison, he had to come here once, and he always went back in disgrace.

The boss saw that the old man had no intention of chatting and prepared to get up and go back.

As soon as I stood up, the old man's voice came again.

"It is better to avoid conflict if possible. The silver that the village sends out every year is used to buy peace."

The boss felt relieved and went back to open the warehouse to get the silver.

Master Qian waited for a few days, but Yang Fan still didn't come to see him, and he felt a little anxious.

These days he would take a walk alone by the river after dinner.

One day, he was watching two small fish fighting for food by the river when he was suddenly startled by a sound next to him.

Master Qian turned to look and saw the Fourth Master waving at him from the bushes nearby.

Master Qian looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to this side, so he pretended to stroll around and walked over there.

"Why are you here? Lord Li didn't arrest you last time because he wanted you to go back and tell him something. If he catches you this time, he won't let you go."

Yang Fan looked at Master Qian with a smile, "Don't worry, sir. The person who can catch us has not been born yet in this mountain."

"What are you doing here? Why don't you go to the front to meet Lord Li?"

"Yang Fan lowered his voice and said, "We came here specifically to see you, sir. Our boss agreed to what you said last time."

"Oh." Master Qian raised the corner of his mouth.

"I'm not doing this for money. I'm doing this for the sake of the soldiers under me. Lord Li is young, and I don't know how many casualties there will be in a fight." Master Qian refused to admit that it was for money.

Yang Fan also said, "Our boss thinks the same way. We have lived in peace for so many years, and we can't let such a small matter ruin our relationship. This time, the subordinates did it behind the boss's back, and they were punished by the boss when they returned."

"Then give me some face and don't hurt the people of Wu'an City anymore." Master Qian said without blushing or beating his heart.

"We are all from the same village. This is just a misunderstanding. We are willing to pay another two hundred taels of silver to compensate Kaoshan Village."

Yang Fan said that it was for Kaoshan Village, but after passing through the hands of Master Qian, it is not certain how much is left in the village.

"Your boss is sincere, so I will forgive you on behalf of the Kaoshan Village."

"Sir, tomorrow morning I will go to your house to deliver some vegetables grown on the mountain. Please try them and see how they taste." When Yang Fan said this, he made faces and one could tell at a glance that there was something fishy in the dishes.

Master Qian thanked them and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I just wanted to try some vegetables these two days."

After saying this, Yang Fan and his men quickly disappeared into the night, and Master Qian slowly returned to his residence with his hands behind his back.

This is the camp of several guards, and the county’s yamen runners are also here.

Master Qian went to talk to a few adults in the garrison and then returned to his tent to rest.

Early the next morning, the housekeeper of the mansion came to the mountain and went straight to Master Qian's residence.

He leaned over and whispered a few words in Master Qian's ear, but Master Qian calmly told him to go back.

Another day passed, and the stronghold was still not taken.

Master Qian shouted in the camp, "Sir, when will we be able to take down the mountain stronghold? We in the government office are not as idle as you are. There are many things to do down there."

Lord Li was furious and didn't like anyone.

Hearing what Master Qian said, he was unhappy and retorted with a cold face.

"Go fight if you have the ability. What's the point of just talking here?"

Master Qian seemed to not know how to read other people's faces, and he was still shouting, "Suppressing bandits is the garrison's job, and we are here to help. Even if you fight for ten or eight years, we will always be with you."

Lord Li became even angrier and threw the cup on the table in front of Master Qian.

"If you don't want to stay here, get out of here. Who's keeping you here?"

Master Qian's hands were shaking with anger, and he kept mumbling for a long time without being able to utter a word.

The yamen runner nearby hurried forward to help calm him down. He didn't dare to interrupt the fight between gods.

After Master Qian recovered, he threw up his sleeves, called out to the people in the yamen, and stormed down the mountain.

He was cursing all the way, looking like he was irreconcilable with the people in the garrison.

When passing by a woodcutter, he paused, winked at him, and continued walking forward.

The man who looked like a woodcutter was Yang Fan, the fourth in command of Erniu Mountain. He came to gather information.

After seeing this scene, he didn’t want any more firewood and led his men back to the village.

"Brother, the people in the county government had a falling out with the guards, and they took their people away."

The boss stood up with a look of joy on his face.

"Really gone."

"I saw it with my own eyes. Not a single one was left. They all went down the mountain."

The two of them thought of the silver they were sending to Master Qian's house and smiled meaningfully.

The people from the garrison cursed at the people down the mountain for a long time.

The attack on the second day was even more fierce. Although the people on Erniu Mountain were able to hold off the attack, some were injured.

There was a shortage of medical care and medicine in the mountains, and there were complaints everywhere for a while.

Apart from the big boss, the third boss is the best martial artist on the mountain. Recently, he has been leading people to resist the guards.
