Thief Emperor

Chapter 181: Surrender
"Well."

Li Yun sat down and knocked on the table, signaling Li Zheng and Liu Bo to sit down as well. After they sat down, Li Yun looked at the two of them and said, "Then let's discuss how to deal with the people in Qingyang."

"First, it's the old man from Cangshan Village."

Speaking of Cangshan Village, Li Zheng thought for a moment and said, "If you ask me, Second Uncle has always wanted to be in charge, so just hand over Cangshan Village to him and let him manage it however he wants. We won't ask any more questions."

Liu Bo shook his head slightly and said, "Second brother, we all grew up in Cangshan Village. Although there are still only fifty or sixty people in Cangshan Village, there are still many elders who watched us grow up. Now that our lives are better, we can't forget them."

"Also, we can pick out some smart ones from the younger ones in Cangshan Village who grew up with us and bring them to Yuezhou. Brother, we can trust these people who know us well."

Li Zheng curled his lips and said, "I don't think so. Everyone from the old village knows the real identity of the second brother. Now that the second brother has just become an official, if they let it slip and spread it out, it will be troublesome for the second brother."

"Moreover."

Li Zheng hummed, "People like Xiao Huazi and Bad Guo'er are all bad guys. If we take them to Yuezhou, they will figure it out and might even use my identity as a threat to extort money from me. Do you believe it?"

Xiao Huazi, as the name suggests, is the son of Lao Huazi, and Huazi generally refers to the business of human trafficking. Lao Huazi died long ago, but Xiao Huazi is not honest either, and is a notorious bad guy in Cangshan Village.

There is no need to say more about those who have the nickname "Bad Fruit".

The younger generation in Cangshan Village basically grew up with Li Yun and the other three, so they are very familiar with their character.

Although there are a few honest ones, such as the deceased Heizi, there are not many people who grew up in the village who are truly down-to-earth.

For example, the three brothers Li Yun, Li Zheng and Liu Bo, in fact, in the eyes of outsiders, they all have bad intentions.

Mr. Li thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Cangshan Great Village is too small. It is not appropriate for them to stay there forever. My idea is to have them all move to Lingyang Mountain Ten Kings Village, and the Ten Kings Village will be retained for the time being."

"With the Ten Kings Village here, if we get into trouble in the future, we'll still have a place to rest."

After hearing what Li Yun said, they both nodded in agreement.

"During this period, let's take some of the people that Lao Jiu brought out to Yuezhou."

"Um…"

Li Yun thought about it and continued, "The difficulty now is that Lao Jiu is not in the Ten Kings Village. Who should be in charge of the Ten Kings Village so that we can feel at ease?"

"Let Second Uncle and Fourth Uncle take care of it together."

Li Zheng looked at Li Yun and said, "They have been idle for so long. If they are asked to manage such a large village, they will definitely agree. Besides, they are qualified to manage the Ten Kings Village."

Liu Bo frowned: "Fourth uncle is an honest man, but second uncle is not honest. Let them take charge, can they be trusted?"

"Not afraid."

Li Zheng looked at Li Yun and said, "Let's take all the young people from Hexi Village from Shiwangzhai to Yuezhou, and then take all the young people selected by Laojiu to Yuezhou. The only ones left in Shiwangzhai will be some old people from the old village and the bandits we accepted in Shiwangzhai."

"Let them stay in the Ten Kings Village and do whatever they want."

"besides."

Li Zheng chuckled: "They both have sons. If we take their sons to Yuezhou and let Lao Jiu take care of them, they will naturally behave themselves."

Li Yun stroked his chin and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "This method is fine, but whether their son wants to follow us to Yuezhou is up to them."

Li said calmly: "They should be the ones begging us for this, rather than us taking the initiative to bring them along."

At this point, Li Yun paused and continued, "Bring your uncle's son with you. Your uncle has made great contributions during this period."

Both of them responded quickly and nodded.

"Then it's settled. Skinny Monkey, go to the old village and ask them to pack up their things and move to Lingyang Mountain as soon as possible."

Li Yun touched his chin and shook his head, saying, "There is nothing to pack. Just take the people to Lingyang Mountain. There are many more things in Lingyang Mountain than in our old village."

"Old Nine, you should go back to Lingyang Mountain and gather the necessary personnel. Five days later, I will go to Lingyang Mountain to lead the people, and we will go to Yuezhou together!"

At this point, he looked at the two brothers and said slowly: "There are chaos everywhere now. We brothers, after arriving in Yuezhou, must work together. There will naturally be a future for us brothers in the future."

Liu Bo looked at Li Yun, patted his chest and said, "I will follow Second Brother Ding. I will do whatever Second Brother tells me to do!"

Li Zheng stood up and kicked him.

"Flattery!"

Liu Bo was furious and stood up to chase Li Zheng. Li Zheng was agile and jumped away immediately. After jumping away, he laughed and said, "Look at how fat you are. Can you still climb a mountain?"

Liu Bo became even more angry and chased after Li Zheng. Soon Zhang Hu also joined the battle. The three of them got into a fight. Just as Li Yun was about to separate them, there was a knock on the gate. Li walked to the gate and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me, benefactor."

Li Yun opened the gate, and Miss Liu, still in plain clothes, stood at the gate of the yard with a food box in her hand. After opening the door, she looked at the three people who were fighting behind Li Yun with some curiosity. The head of the village, Li, felt a little embarrassed, and silently moved his body to block her sight, and coughed: "A bunch of monkeys, Miss Liu, please forgive me for making a fool of myself."

Mr. Li paused, and then continued, "What happened that day was what we had to do. The word benefactor should never be mentioned again."

Miss Liu nodded gently, handed over the food box in her hand, and said softly: "I have never known how to repay you for saving me. Tomorrow I will leave for Qiantang to pay homage to my parents. Today I specially made some cakes to give to... to Captain Li."

Li Yun was startled, then asked, "Miss Liu is traveling alone?"

She nodded gently. Li Yun thought for a moment and said, "In a few days, I will go to Yuezhou and will pass by Qiantang. Why don't we go together? I will have someone to take care of me on the way."

Miss Liu shook her head slightly: "No, no..."

She looked at Li Yun, then gritted her teeth.

"I... can go by myself."

After saying that, he gritted his teeth, turned around and left.

She was not a fool, so she naturally saw the relationship between Li Yun and Miss Xue. During this period of time, she had been living in the county government office, eating and living with Miss Xue. Putting aside the feelings that had developed between the two, Miss Xue was grateful to her.

Naturally, she didn't dare to get close to Li Yun again.

Li Yun watched her run away. After she was far away, he turned around. As soon as he turned around, he saw three big faces in front of him.

"Second brother, who is this girl?"

Liu Bo winked and said, "She's so beautiful."

Li Zheng chuckled: "I know this. It was a girl that was rescued by my second brother in Qiantang. At that time, my second brother fought one against five and saved the girl. He really fascinated the girl."

"Second brother is just too stupid. If you just stretch out your hand to such a beautiful girl, she will be your sister-in-law in no time!"

Li Yun glanced at him and said unhappily, "You are the only one who knows so much!"

With the experience of two lifetimes, it was natural for him to understand Miss Liu's thoughts, but he and Miss Xue were in front, so he couldn't let the descendant of a loyal official from an official family become his mistress, right?

This mouth cannot be opened.

It would be even more embarrassing if you opened your mouth.

Zhang Hu was simple-minded. He looked at the food box in Li Yun's hand and finally interrupted, "Second brother, let me have a taste!"

Mr. Li smiled silently and shared the box of cakes with his brothers.

…………

The next day, Liu Bo and Li Zheng left Qingyang separately, one returned to Lingyang Mountain and the other returned to the old village.

Miss Liu actually took a car to leave Qingyang and prepared to return to Qiantang to worship her parents.

Fortunately, Mr. Xue had great respect for the Magistrate Liu who died in the battle, and he also valued the daughter of this loyal minister. He personally hired a carriage and sent two yamen runners to follow.

In this way, another four or five days passed. After Li Yun said goodbye to the Xue father and daughter, he also rode his horse out of Qingyang County and rushed to Lingyang Mountain.

After reaching the foot of Lingyang Mountain, he tied up his horse and soon arrived at the Ten Kings Village on the Ten Kings Peak.

The Ten Kings Village at this time was even more lively than when Li Yun first saw it. It was obvious that Liu Bo had some talent in managing the village. Over the past six months, the Ten Kings Village had actually become prosperous under his "rule".

Of course, this is mainly because there is no need to go out and take risks in robbing or working, and there is no shortage of food, so naturally there will be no trouble.

When they saw Li Yun coming, a large group of people immediately surrounded him and saluted him with their fists clasped.

Yuan Zhengming, the second in command of Cangshan Village, whose hair was already gray, also came over and bowed deeply to Li Yun, saying sincerely: "Village leader."

The fourth in command, Lu Chong, also stepped forward and saluted with his fists clasped, but his waist was not bent as low as Yuan Zhengming's.

After all, he didn't have much conflict with Li Yun before.

Looking at the two people bending deeply in front of him, Village Chief Li smiled indifferently and stepped forward to help them up.

"You two elders, you are too polite."

"Walk."

Li Yun first looked around at the people around him, pointed to the lobby of the Ten Kings Village, and said with a smile.

"Let's sit down and talk."

A group of people followed him into the main hall. After they sat down, Li Yun sat in the main seat, and the others sat on his left and right.

It's like a small court.

Li Yun looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Old Nine and Skinny Monkey should have told the elders everything that should be said."

"In the future, the old village will all be moved to Lingyang Mountain. I think everyone will have no objection to this."

Everyone bowed their heads to show that they had no objection.

After Li Yun finished speaking, Yuan Zhengming looked at Li Yun pitifully and lowered his head again.

"Village leader, my son wants to follow you to Yuezhou..."

Lu Chong also took a deep breath and lowered his head.

"My Hei Wa is the same."
