After Wu Laoliu changed into clean clothes, he followed Ye Jianrong and his group down the mountain to Ye's house in Pingjiang County without stopping.
Ye Wuhua, the current head of the Ye family, was very happy when he first saw the food that Ye Jianrong brought back with his escort.
But after learning what happened in Heifeng Village and Li Feiyu threatening them to take out fifteen gold bars, Ye Wuhua realized that his joy was in vain.
At this moment, the head of the Ye family, Ye Wuhua, really wanted to ask Ye Guangming, who was far away in Jing'an City, the capital of Yongzhou, to send troops to suppress and exterminate the new group of greedy bandits on Black Wind Mountain.
But what they don't know is that although Ye Guangming is an official to the prefecture, as a civil servant, Ye Guangming does not have a single soldier under his command, and can only mobilize a few dozen soldiers at most.
The prefect of Chen State can only manage the government affairs of one state and the appointment of officials below the seventh rank.
As for the reason why Zhouyi was able to recruit soldiers in the name of a county magistrate, it was entirely because the decadent Chen State had basically abandoned this place after suffering a military disaster in Pingliang County.
The people of the entire Pingliang County were treated as outcasts, and Zhou Yi, as the largest official in the entire Pingliang County, opened a warehouse to provide relief to the people who could not survive, and also built new city walls and houses in the county, which captured the hearts of the people. Naturally, the military and political forces can catch him.
Besides, the food and clothing of Zhou Yi's soldiers were provided by Zhou Yi.
This group of soldiers and the people in the city, if they don't listen to Zhou Yi, who can they listen to.
In the study room of the inner courtyard of the Ye family in Pingjiang County, the head of the family, Ye Wuhua, was so angry that he even smashed his favorite white jade brave, while Ye Jianrong knelt aside and did not dare to speak.
If the head of the family, Ye Wuhua, hadn't asked the porters and his nephew who went up the mountain with Ye Jianrong, Ye Wuhua would have thought that Ye Jianrong had colluded with the bandits in Heifeng Village to gain access to his family's property.
"It's really too much to bully people. How dare these thieves bully my Ye family like this!"
The frightened Ye Jianrong hung his head and didn't dare to take a breath, because the bad idea of colluding with Heifeng Village to rob Zhouji Food Store was the head of the family, Ye Wuhua himself.
Now, it is true that the food has been looted, but at the same time, the Ye family has also made a fuss. In the end, this responsibility has to be shouldered by the head of the family, Ye Wuhua.
Suddenly a bold idea popped up in Ye Wuhua's mind.
"Ada (Ye Jianrong), tell me, could this Li Feiyu be a subordinate of Zhouji Food Store?"
Ye Jianrong lowered his head and thought for a moment, then expressed his judgment.
"Master, if Li Feiyu is really a thug of Zhouji Grain Store, then Zhouji Grain Store has too much backstage this time! The killing is decisive. There are more than 300 people in Heifeng Village, killing at will. It is really too cruel. .”
"However, I have already found out that Bai Sheng, the shopkeeper of the Zhouji Grain Store in our city, has vacated the store and is preparing to leave Pingjiang County. I think Li Feiyu, the new boss of Heifeng Village, and the others are not with Zhouji Grain Store. .”
Ye Wuhua, the head of the Ye family, nodded and agreed with Ye Jianrong's point of view, and then heaved a long sigh: "I really don't believe that someone can come all the way from the Western Regions to Heifeng Village to wipe out his whole family just because of a bowl of jelly. .”
But the facts of Heifeng Village were right in front of him, and he had to believe it.
This time Ye Jianrong went up the mountain with Ye Wuhua's nephew Ye Fangyi, who wanted to give him some experience by contacting the bandits in Heifeng Village.
However, Ye Fangyi was frightened to the point of madness when he came back. Not only was he running around in wet clothes, but he also kept talking about eating two bowls of rice noodles to pay for one bowl of rice noodles.
"Master, what about these 15 gold bars?" Ye Jianrong asked cautiously.
"The current situation is stronger than people. The fact that Li Feiyu dares to let people come to our door means that he is not afraid of us at all. We'd better try not to provoke these desperadoes."
"Let's spend money to eliminate the disaster!" Ye Wuhua, the head of the Ye family, chose helplessly.
This time, Zhou Yi used the pseudonym Li Feiyu to extort an additional fifteen gold bars from the Ye family in Pingjiang County. Although the Ye family was extremely heartbroken, the wool came from the sheep, and there were still so many leeks to harvest in Pingjiang County.
In addition, the Zhou Ji Grain Shop opened by Zhou Yi and Bai Sheng has been closed down, and now the Ye family has the final say on the grain prices in Pingjiang County.
In this way, there is no need for Zhou Yi to send people to be villains and secretly push up the price of food. The Ye family in Pingjiang County will also raise the price of food themselves, thus earning back the 15 gold bars they lost from Li Feiyu.
In the reception hall of Ye Mansion, Wu Laoliu had already drank two cups of tea.
However, Ye Jianrong never came out after he went to report the gold bars to the family owner.
Before coming here, his master Zhou Yi had asked Wu Laoliu to go back as soon as possible. Even if he couldn't get the gold bars this time, it would be enough to identify the Ye family's land and step on it correctly.
After all, the poisonous food has been sent in. As long as his Ye family eats this food, Zhou Yi and the others will only need to find time to collect their bodies.
At that time, the feud between the Ye family and Pingliang County for robbing food was truly settled.
Just when Wu Laoliu was about to throw the teacup, pretending to be impatient and wanting to leave. But I saw Ye Jianrong walking out from behind the screen followed by a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.
"Oh my, this must be Zhang Dabiao and Zhang Yingxiong from Feiyu Village! Please forgive me for being rude!" Ye Wuhua, the head of the Ye family, catered to Wu Laoliu with a smile on his face.
Wu Laoliu didn't talk nonsense to them and asked directly about Jin Zi.
"Head of the Ye family, what do you say about the gold bars you owe us in the village?"
"If you can't pay it back, then I won't waste my time with you."
As he said this, Wu Laoliu pretended to get up and leave.
Ye Wuhua quickly grabbed Wu Laoliu and said, "Zhang Yingxiong doesn't have to worry, we will pay for it naturally."
Ye Wuhua clapped his hands again, and a young and beautiful girl walked out of the side hall holding a mahogany box.
I saw that the woman holding the mahogany box had a hot figure, and the two huge lumps on her chest swayed as she walked, making people unconsciously look at the undulating parts of the lump.
What's more important is that the woman is wearing an extremely thin gauze dress. Through the gauze dress, you can see the woman's graceful and exquisite figure, as well as her bellyband embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water.
As the woman approached Wu Laoliu, a burst of crispy fragrance hit her face.
For a moment, Wu Laoliu was really stunned. But for some reason, a word that his master taught him in night school suddenly popped up in Wu Laoliu's mind subconsciously - sugar-coated bullets.
"Yes, yes, the Ye family must be using sugar-coated bullets to get information from us!" Wu Laoliu came back to his senses as soon as he figured this out.
Wu Laoliu immediately snatched it from the woman's hand and prepared to leave after confirming that there were 15 gold bars in the mahogany box.
But he didn't want to be pulled back by Ye Wuhua again, and said: "Zhang Yingxiong is tired from going down the mountain. I have prepared a table of fine wine, and I also asked Zhang Yingxiong to stay and have a drink."
The reason why Ye Wuhua wanted to invite Wu Laoliu to stay for a drink was mainly because he wanted to get him drunk and talk to him, and then take the opportunity to get to know the bottom of Feiyun Village.
However, Wu Laoliu, who had been trained in many strict military disciplines such as the Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention in Zhou Yi, would not stay to drink, so he directly rejected Ye Wuhua's invitation without thinking, and walked out with his legs raised.
The reason why Ye Wuhua just let a young and beautiful woman come out with gold bars was because he wanted to seduce Wu Laoliu through beauty and wine.
But the performance of these five and six people surprised Ye Wuhua.
For a moment, Ye Wuhua, the head of the Ye family, couldn't see through the new overlords in Black Wind Mountain.
