Ye Ming was sued, and Yuejia Village Land was sued.
As Laozhang Village and three other villages organized militia teams to prepare for joint responses to possible crises, other villages followed suit.
With Mr. Bai's management and coordination, a small alliance of eight villages was formed in just ten days.
Since the people in the core Laozhang Village and three other villages all worshiped "General Ye Ming", other villages also followed suit.
It doesn't matter that there are a few villages without land. The key is that Yuejia Village has land.
He was only in charge of one village, but now there were still people trying to compete with him for incense. The land in Yuejia Village was not popular, and he could not leave the village, so he simply filed a petition with the Fucheng God Temple...
As a result, Ye Ming, who was about to arrange for Pang Yuan to rob the bandits of supplies, was forced to stop his action.
Because Zhang Decai, the deputy of the Punishment Department, came with another sinister plot.
Fortunately, Yao Jiandong was not taken with him this time. It seemed that he was really punished to guard the prison.
Ye Ming really never thought about competing for incense with the land of Yuejia Village. This matter was completely voluntary by the villagers of Yuejia Village.
After talking to Zhang Decai for a while, the suspicion was finally cleared.
"What's going on with Pang Yuan?"
Zhang Decai asked.
"I don't know. He's an outsider. He was originally treated by a blind doctor from Xiahewan, but now he has become the leader of several villages."
Ye Ming pretended to be dumbfounded.
Zhang Decai squinted his eyes and looked at Ye Ming:
"No wonder Yao Jiandong doubts you..."
"Sir, what are you talking about? Since I was punished by you twice, the little god doesn't dare to interfere with the affairs of mortals at all. The little god doesn't know anything about Pang Yuan!"
Ye Ming refused to admit it.
Zhang Decai did not answer Ye Ming's words and just said:
"I have asked people to ask the villagers and Pang Yuan himself about the dream. If it is related to you, I will know soon."
"Well, the little god will be waiting here."
Ye Ming is not panic at all.
Seeing that Ye Ming was so calm, Zhang Decai began to doubt his own judgment. Did this guy really not interfere in mortal affairs?
Seeing that the person who went to dream to inquire had not returned yet, Ye Ming began to ask Zhang Decai about this and that, asking for advice on various things.
Zhang Decai, as always, answered all questions and was patient.
After a while, the man who inquired in his dream came back.
The result is that Ye Ming did not interfere in the mortal world, Pang Yuan was Pang Wuzhong, and he fled to Xiahewan to seek medical treatment.
Other villagers only knew about the existence of "General Ye Ming" and had no real contact with him.
This result surprised Zhang Decai, but he had to accept that mortals cannot lie in dreams, and what they say must be true.
As for the possibility of Ye Ming getting in the way, it's not that he hasn't thought about it. It's just that Ye Ming is just a land, with only a little magic power and only so many magical powers. He has no ability to keep mortals awake.
After some questioning, Zhang Decai came to the conclusion that Ye Ming had indeed not interfered with mortal affairs.
It's just a fact that the income from the land and incense in Yuejia Village has been damaged, and the cultivation level has declined.
After weighing the situation, Zhang Decai decided to let Yin Chai entrust a dream to the villagers of Yuejia Village and let them worship the two lands at the same time.
Although this will still reduce some of the incense and will power, it is better than just dying.
Since this move caused Ye Ming, who was supposed to have increased his willpower, to lose incense, he not only made up for the incense that had been confiscated before, but also gave him an additional three months of incense.
After handling the matter, Zhang Decai told Ye Ming that if these villages could survive the crisis in the next few months, Ye Ming could take over the land of seven and a half villages.
After handling the matter, Zhang Decai and other evildoers didn't stay long and left.
After seeing them off, Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I had taken precautions, otherwise I would have been punished this time, which would have been very miserable.
It is true that the land does not have the ability to keep people awake in dreams, but Ye Ming also learned the "Zhengxuan Five Elements Technique", which should now be called the "Demon Five Elements Technique". There is a spell that can keep people awake in dreams, and wake up After coming, I can still clearly remember the things in my dream.
Ye Ming had used it for Pang Yuan in advance and told him some precautions.
Pang Yuan was a person who knew how to repay his kindness and he agreed immediately. Now it seems that he is a person who keeps his word and did not betray Ye Ming.
As for the other villagers, they only received some hints from Ye Ming, but never made anything clear. In addition, he deliberately cast spells to dilute the dreams of these people, and they could not remember them afterwards.
After settling this matter, Ye Ming contacted Pang Yuan more confidently and boldly.
The next night, in the woods outside the village.
Ye Ming, who had transformed into an old man and exuded demonic energy, stood by a tree and waited.
After three sticks of incense, a wild cat arrived and turned into a woman, it was Lei Ling.
Seeing Lei Ling's arrival, Ye Ming first laughed "Jie Jie Jie" and then asked:
"How's the exploration going?"
"Returning to the master, my subordinates found four bandit lairs in a hundred miles radius. These bandit lairs are all built in secret places. The roads are narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack..."
Knowing that she could not escape Ye Ming's control, Lei Ling learned the lesson and took the initiative to call her master, hoping to get closer to her.
Ye Ming didn't correct anything, just asked again:
"Do they store a lot of food?"
"These bandits have stored a lot of food to prepare for the government and disaster years. Master, why are you paying attention to this?"
Lei Ling was really confused, why would a demon care about these mortal affairs?
Ye Ming let out another burst of "Jie Jie Jie" laughter, which made Lei Ling feel her scalp numb. Then Ye Ming continued:
"Next, militias from several villages will unite to attack those bandits. You have to help them secretly, help them destroy the bandits and get the bandits' food reserves. Do you understand?"
"Unknown...understood!"
Lei Ling really didn't understand, but she didn't dare to question Ye Ming's decision, so she had no choice but to agree.
Ye Ming didn't explain anything, and waved his hand, indicating that Lei Ling could retreat.
Full of doubts, Lei Ling retreated, and she didn't stop until she was some distance away from Lao Zhang Village.
Strange, how could the old devil do such a thing?
From Lei Ling's perspective, she couldn't understand it at all, but when she thought about being tricked by the old devil and being captured alive, she felt a little frightened.
Although she knew that this old devil must have bad intentions, Lei Ling really had no way to resist. Even if she knew that there was a conspiracy in this matter, she could only be a pawn at the mercy of others.
This feeling is really desperate, and Lei Ling feels that the road ahead is dark.
Ye Ming returned to the village and went to find Miss Wen.
As for Lei Ling being full of doubts?
So what, just keep her guessing.
Ye Ming didn't trust this banshee very much, so he had to let her know the depth so that she could control it easily!
Speaking of which, no one had ever taught Ye Ming how to play with people's hearts, but Ye Ming was born with it, and it seemed to be the devil's innate talent.
No wonder it is said that the devil is best at deceiving people and creating a bad mood. Now it seems that this is indeed the case.
Thinking of this, Ye Ming felt proud for a while, he was indeed a born devil!
The next day, Pang Yuan gathered young men from several villages to practice together and prepare weapons, dry food, etc.
After getting ready, Pang Yuan took away half of the young men, and the remaining half was led by Mr. Bai, responsible for guarding the safety of the eight villages.
Although Mr. Bai is a scholar, he is very convincing in his work. Although we have not been together for a long time, we still admire Mr. Bai...
Pang Yuan took the young men from eight villages and took the lead to the nearest Hubei Mountain.
Hubei Mountain is so named because it looks like the back of a tiger. There are slopes on both sides, making it impossible for ordinary people to go up. There is a big river behind and there is only one road up the mountain in front.
As long as the bandits on the mountain hold this road, they can resist the suppression of a large number of officers and soldiers.
The Yanhua Prefecture government sent people to clear out the area many times, but with little success. Instead, it only fueled the arrogance of the bandits.
Pang Yuan's first stop was here this time. After a period of training, and with the large number of people and weapons, everyone was still full of confidence.
But when I finally got there, I couldn't help but feel guilty.
Over the years, who among the villagers has not been bullied by bandits?
Naturally, everyone was angry and scared. They all wanted to eliminate the bandits, but they didn't have the courage.
Especially after seeing that the road up the mountain was very narrow and the bandits had set up outposts, many people retreated.
Ye Ming also followed in the dark, and found that the militiamen were timid before fighting, and shook his head unconsciously.
This is too disappointing. There are nearly three hundred people in their group.
There are no more than forty bandits on the mountain, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
Unfortunately, I gave them all the money I had collected in exchange for weapons. They were all holding knives to chop people, but were they preparing to chop vegetables?
Fortunately, Ye Ming was prepared and had already asked Lei Ling to help secretly. Now we will see the effect.
Seeing that everyone was a little scared, Pang Yuan said a few words to boost their momentum so that everyone didn't have to be afraid, and asked everyone to take out the big pot lids, straws, etc. that had been prepared in advance.
The few people in the front were holding large pot lids as shields, and a group of people in the back were carrying straw, approaching the bandit's post.
The bandits had already seen the arrival of their group, but they didn't think they had the courage to attack them, so they were confident.
I didn't expect that this group of people would dare to go up, and they were all a little worried.
But when I saw these people trying to use straw to set fire to their outpost, I laughed at the overestimation of their capabilities.
The government had already used the method of fire attack, and it turned out that it couldn't be burned at all.
The wood used for their outpost was not easy to burn. Just to be on the safe side, the leader proudly got a lot of lime and sprinkled it on the surface. It was impossible to catch a fire with just straw.
The bandits only fired a few symbolic arrows. After being blocked by the militiamen's large pot lids, they didn't take it seriously and allowed the group to spread straw under the guard post.
Soon, Pang Yuan asked someone to light the straw.
This move only made the bandits laugh, and there was no panic at all!
But after a while, something went wrong.
For some reason, the fire lit by a mere straw actually ignited the wood on the outpost. Not only did it ignite, but it also burned bigger and bigger, and soon the entire outpost was set on fire.
The bandits were shocked and immediately fell into panic.
The morale of the militiamen was greatly boosted, especially after seeing the surprised expressions of the bandits, everyone felt courageous.
Pang Yuan had retreated from the battlefield. Knowing that he could not miss the opportunity, he immediately held a long spear and shouted:
"Come at me!"
Having said that, he rushed forward first.
Although the intersection on the mountain was narrow, Pang Yuan was very skilled in martial arts and easily hacked to death the two bandits blocking the road, scaring the other bandits into subconsciously retreating.
In this instant, the bandits lost half of their geographical advantage.
The militiamen from the rear also rushed up and fought with the bandits on the narrow mountain road.
The bandits, who had never faced such a situation before, panicked. In addition, their number was far less than that of the militiamen. It was not known who dropped their weapons and ran away first.
With such a person in the lead, the other bandits no longer wanted to resist and turned around and ran away.
When the militiamen saw this, their morale was greatly boosted. They didn't need Pang Yuan's encouragement and rushed in one by one...
In this battle, forty-one bandits in Hubei Mountain were hacked to death, and sixteen of them were killed on the spot. The boss and two of his men took advantage of the chaos to escape, and the remaining bandits were all captured alive.
The militiamen had had enough of being bullied by the bandits in the past, so they cut off the heads of all the bandits and prepared to take them to the government to receive rewards.
From this day on, the reputation of the militiamen was suppressed. Four bandit families around Laoyin Mountain were wiped out by the militiamen one after another. Even the prefect was shocked.
The common people who hated the bandits called this militia group the Laoyinshan Militia Group.
