Ye Ming and others did not care about the subsequent rumors in Zhayi County.
Lei Ling took the body of the fish monster deep into the mountains and cut the fish flesh with its sharp cat claws.
Ye Ming set up a donkey cart and followed Zhao Yuwan to the mountains.
He took out a large amount of salt from the ten thousand liang bag and threw it to Lei Ling, while he set up a barbecue grill.
Zhao Yuwan was confused again:
"Where did you get all this salt?"
"Get it from the county government warehouse."
Ye Ming replied casually.
"You still steal salt?"
Zhao Yuwan felt that these two people were too careless in their work.
Ye Ming shook his head and said: "It's not stealing, it's an exchange of equal value. We got rid of this fish monster and helped Zhayi County eliminate the big crisis. Even charging a thousand taels of silver is not an exaggeration. A little salt can make the county government make a lot of money." ”
Zhao Yuwan felt that what Ye Ming said was very reasonable, but she still felt that something was wrong:
"But you didn't say hello!"
“Do good deeds without leaving a name, just stay mysterious.”
"I mean, you stole...in exchange for salt."
"Fresh fish, grill it, grill it!"
"Don't change the subject!"
Soon, a piece of plump fish was roasted, and Ye Ming handed it to Zhao Yuwan:
"Have a piece!"
"This is a monster...I won't eat it!"
"Forget it if you don't want to eat. I'll eat it myself."
"Wait, it seems...it smells good."
This fish monster was so big, it was as big as a boat. Even the three of them were full, but they didn't finish it.
"There's so much left, it's wasted."
Ye Ming looked at the almost complete fish monster and wondered whether he should leave it to the wild beasts in the mountains.
Lei Ling seemed to read his thoughts and took out the demon pill from the fish monster.
As a cat demon, Lei Ling seemed to be able to directly suppress the fish monster's demon elixir. She breathed out at the demon elixir, and the demon elixir glowed, and actually absorbed the fish monster's body.
The shadow of a fish appeared in the demon pill.
Ye Ming was curious: "Can the demon pill be used like this?"
Lei Ling smiled proudly, strung the demon pill with a rope, and hung it around her neck so that she could take out fresh fish at any time when she wanted to eat.
"Yes, I have the consciousness of being a house cat, and I have tied the bells myself."
Ye Ming complimented, causing Lei Ling to glare angrily.
She is no longer afraid of Ye Ming now. This big devil is very tolerant and will never fall out in advance as long as his goal is not achieved.
"I originally wanted to buy you new clothes, but I was delayed this time. Let's buy them next time we go to town!"
Ye Ming said something to Zhao Yuwan.
Zhao Yuwan nodded. In fact, she didn't care so much now. She felt that this old clothes was not unacceptable.
Ye Ming did another casual divination and unexpectedly sensed a strong aura of the three corpses.
Seeing this, Ye Ming opened his eyes slightly and showed a smile.
Seeing this, Lei Ling shrank her neck subconsciously. Every time the big devil showed such a smile, something was going to happen.
Two people and one cat got on the donkey cart again and headed to the place of divination at night.
Encountering another wave of bandits and two groups of malicious people on the road, Ye Ming left with satisfaction after enjoying some negative human emotions.
"Those people obviously have money, why don't we take the opportunity to snatch it away?"
Zhao Yuwan asked a little doubtfully.
Ye Ming looked at her in surprise:
"Miss Zhao Er, it has only been a few days, but you are already showing signs of becoming a thief?"
"Mr. Yang, what are you talking about? They are evil people to begin with, and the money they get must be ill-gotten wealth. If you rob them, you are robbing the rich and giving to the poor. Isn't that what the drama says?"
"You said before that the drama was not believable?"
"Oh, this time and that time!"
"The affairs of the human world belong to the human world. Suppressing bandits and eradicating thieves is the government's business. I don't care."
"But they intend to do evil to me, and they also want to kill you!"
"Then you go and kill them."
Ye Ming looked indifferent. What is he? Is he a devil?
As a demon, why do you want to kill these people who create all kinds of negative emotions?
These people are all the treasures causing trouble in the world!
Ye Ming is reluctant to kill!
He doesn't kill people now, not only because he doesn't want to be implicated in evil forces prematurely, but also because he wants to keep these evil people around to provide him with a high-quality negative environment for the devil to come to the world in the future.
In Ye Ming's view, every evil person is a treasure and cannot be killed.
Communication with Ye Ming failed, Zhao Yuwan sighed:
“Young Master Yang is kind-hearted and doesn’t want to hurt others, Yu Wan understands.
But some people just deserve to die, and such a woman's kindness is really not deserved. "
Ye Ming looked at her a little strangely, but he didn't expect that this person was actually a decisive killer.
Unfortunately, what she didn't know was that, strictly speaking, Ye Ming was on the side of the evil people, and what he was doing now was actually a "traitorous act."
As the donkey cart was walking, I saw many farmers working in the fields in front of me. It was the time of autumn harvest.
Due to the locust plague in the first half of the year, this year's harvest was not very good. There was no smile on the faces of the farmers, and they all looked sad.
Donkeys are hard-working and sensible. Even if they are passing by a field, they will never eat wheat straw. This is unimaginable for other domestic animals.
The cart entered the village all the way and found a place to stop. Ye Ming opened his eyes and glanced at a mountain in the distance:
"The target is on that mountain. I don't know which one of the three corpse auras it is..."
Ye Ming had some small expectations. Although judging from the strength, it should not be the strongest type of three zombies, but the quality would not be bad.
I was about to shout a few words, tell fortunes and earn some money, but I heard someone in the village shouting:
"Gather, it's time to hand in the autumn food!"
The sound of handing over autumn grains kept ringing, and the exhausted villagers, who were sallow and skinny, carried large and small bags of grains and gathered at the entrance of the village. They gathered not far away from Ye Ming and others, so that Ye Ming did not have to move to watch the show. Zhao Yuwan's appearance was hidden.
It was also the first time that Zhao Yuwan saw the officials harvesting autumn grain. She sat in front of Ye Ming and watched curiously.
A team of officers drove an ox cart and brought grain to the entrance of the village.
The head bookkeeper took out the village roster and began to roll the names and pay the rations:
"Li Sangen."
A thin old man stood up.
The chief clerk glanced at him, read out the amount of his family's land, and shouted:
"Hand over forty pounds of grain!"
Li Sangen reluctantly poured a bag of grain into the dendrobium until the dendrobium was filled.
At this time, a guard stepped forward and kicked the grain.
The top grain in the dendrobium was scattered out at once.
Li Sangen was greatly distressed when he saw this, and went to bring the food to the ground, but was stepped on by the guard.
"Who asked you to pick it up? Damn it, do you want to die?"
"Food, food is spilled!"
"If you sprinkle it, sprinkle it. What's all the fuss about? Come on, add more grain to the dendrobium. If the tax grain is not enough, I will kill you!"
The officer kicked Li Sangen again and cursed:
"You bitch, hurry up!"
Li Sangen's hand was stepped on and kicked again, and he was asked to pay more food.
Even though he was several decades old, he still couldn't hold it back and cried on the spot.
But it was useless to cry. When the officer saw that he did not replenish the food supply, he picked up the whip that had been prepared and started to whip him hard.
Li Sangen was beaten so hard that he squatted on the ground with his head in his hands and suffered silently.
The other villagers were worried and their eyes were full of fear. No one spoke for Li Sangen.
Zhao Yuwan on the side couldn't stand it anymore. She was originally curious about how the guards collected taxes and grains, but when she saw this scene, she couldn't bear it and looked at Ye Ming:
"Master Yang, help him quickly! The officials are beating people!"
"I heard it, I heard it. Didn't I say that I don't care about the life and death of mortals!"
Ye Ming waved his hand, not intending to intervene.
"Then why did you save me?"
"Because you don't deserve to die."
Ye Ming dealt with it casually.
The reason why Zhao Yuwan was saved was because she was related to his collection of the energy of the three corpses.
When Zhao Yuwan saw that Ye Ming was not paying attention, she stood up and shouted to the officer who was beating him:
"stop!"
The officer was having a great time beating someone, but he didn't expect anyone to dare to stop him. Just when he was about to get angry, he realized that she was actually a beautiful woman, and his eyes widened.
The other officers also saw it, and their eyes suddenly changed.
Just now, Zhao Yuwan was blinded by Ye Ming, hiding her true appearance. But when she stepped forward, the blinding was broken, and her true appearance was revealed, which was naturally eye-catching.
When the officer saw that she was a beauty, he immediately became interested and was about to tease her, but was stopped by the chief clerk next to him.
"Master Wu?"
The officer looked at Chief Wu in confusion.
Chief Wu is a discerning person. Although Zhao Yuwan's clothes are a bit shabby, her clothes are all silk and satin, not coarse linen. There is definitely some issue with her identity.
"Which family are you a young lady on the run from? Or are you a runaway concubine from a rich family?"
Chief Wu asked.
Zhao Yuwan was startled when Master Wu asked him this question, and her eyes became evasive.
Master Wu is a good person. When he saw Zhao Yuwan's reaction, he realized that there was something wrong with her identity, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"This woman is probably a runaway concubine from a wealthy family. Take her back and hand her over to the county magistrate!"
When several officers heard this, their eyes lit up. This was the best excuse.
Bring such a beauty back to the county government office so everyone can have fun!
With the order from the chief clerk, the officers seemed to have received destiny and surrounded Zhao Yuwan with lewd smiles on their faces.
Zhao Yuwan subconsciously hid behind Ye Ming. The guards didn't care about Ye Ming at all. One of them hit Ye Ming with a stick and was about to knock him out.
Ye Ming sighed, waved the bamboo stick in his hand, and easily knocked all the guards to the ground. He took another step forward and appeared in front of Master Wu in an instant.
Mr. Wu was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, talking incoherently, saying "you, you, you" non-stop.
Ye Ming looked at Master Wu with a smile and said:
"Do you know who I am?"
"No...I don't know."
Master Wu's teeth were chattering and his face was full of fear. The other officers also looked like they had seen a ghost.
"I am a guest of Princess Lingbi, and I have no quarrel with her. How dare you openly attack me? What crime should be committed?"
Ye Ming asked with a smile.
When Master Wu heard what Ye Ming said, he was so frightened that he peed on the spot.
Who is the biggest in Lingbi Mansion?
The prefect can only be ranked second, but Princess Lingbi is the biggest!
With how poor Ye Ming was, he definitely didn't believe it before.
But now that Ye Ming said this, he believed it deeply.
Because the abilities Ye Ming showed were definitely extraordinary.
It is well known that Princess Lingbi invited "monsters" to help her during the locust plague.
The other party said that he had a relationship with Princess Lingbi, so he was probably a monster!
When he thought that he was facing a monster, Mr. Wu was so frightened that he lost consciousness and even urinated.
"Don't worry, I'm a good person and won't embarrass you."
Ye Ming smiled and patted Mr. Wu on the shoulder.
"You can continue to collect taxes and grains."
After saying that, he sat back on the cart.
At this time, Master Wu wished he could grow wings and fly away, so he was not in the mood to collect taxes and grain.
But facing a "monster", he really didn't dare to run, so he just slumped on the ground and ordered the guards to continue collecting grain.
The guards were all frightened and did not dare to run away, so they had to collect the food politely.
This time, no one dared to play the trick of Linjian kicking Hu.
After collecting the grain as quickly as possible, a group of people set up an ox cart and ran away without stopping.
Seeing these people leaving, Zhao Yuwan looked at Ye Ming apologetically:
"Young Master Yang, the slave family didn't intend to take advantage of you, but they really bullied others too much..."
Seeing Zhao Yuwan's apologetic look, Ye Ming smiled and said:
"Then I'll punish you by pinching my shoulders."
When Zhao Yuwan heard this, she looked happy and squeezed Ye Ming's shoulders obediently.
Ye Ming used a move to hide Zhao Yuwan's true face and said:
"The real show hasn't started yet, so don't be too impulsive for a while."
"Who else is coming?"
"We'll find out later."
...
