Chapter 55 Has the temperament of a prince
  Some of the horse thieves were very popular, and they couldn't bear to see Ye Xiangxiang and the others riding their horses to look for trouble as if they were just doing nothing.

Ye Xiangxiang and his men drove the people away with hoes. After this incident, Kong Shun lost his temper and angrily scolded his subordinates for not listening to him.

No matter what actions they take now, Ye Xiangxiang, the more normal they behave, the less they dare to act rashly.

After a day's work, a piece of land was opened to the west of the village, covering three acres.

The land here is fertile, but it has been abandoned all year round and is overgrown with weeds.

The first step in land reclamation is to remove weeds. After that, the land needs to be plowed to make it soft, fertilized and cultivated. It will take several years to turn it into fertile land.

The sun was setting, and the group walked back.

Er Lengzi said, "Hey, I feel really sad to see such good land abandoned. The land here is much better than our Tongxin Village. Why aren't these people farming?"

His daughter-in-law Liu Shi said, "Why don't you farm? The village is full of horse thieves, so how can horse thieves farm?"

Just as he was talking, several people came towards him on horseback, but they did not dare to speak.

Ye Xiangxiang looked at those people calmly and waited for them to ride past before saying, "Everyone, please straighten your backs. These people are used to bullying. The more afraid you are, the harder they bully. You have to be unafraid. Look at them." What can we do?"

Everyone agreed very much.

I had been hiding before, not even daring to come out of the courtyard, but people came and burned the house.

A horse thief was killed that night. After all these days, no one has dared to stir up trouble, so we have to play rough and see who can beat whom.

It's just that their current confidence comes from Meng Tianlang, and everyone is afraid that Meng Tianlang will leave, and they may not be able to suppress the thieves.

The second idiot said, "Xiangxiang, who is that Mr. Meng? His kung fu is so good, will he always be with us from now on?"

Ye Xiangxiang said, "Didn't they say that? He is a medicine merchant from Hedong Prefecture. As for whether he wants to settle here, that is his own business, and I can't help him."

Everyone was obviously a little disappointed, and Ye Xiangxiang comforted him, "Let's be tough ourselves, and we won't be afraid of anyone in the future. We don't have to find anyone to protect us."

"That's true, Xiangxiang, what you said at such a young age is really reasonable. Our uncles and aunts are not as good as you." Liu Qingfeng said with a smile.

After Ye Xiangxiang returned, he washed his hands and looked up to see Meng Tianlang standing at the door.

She hurried over and said, "I have something to discuss with you. If I want to capture these people, I have to ask you to do me a favor."

"Go ahead."

Now that Meng Tianlang heard that she wanted to help, he was not surprised at all. Didn't he just want to help her and see how she dealt with the crisis at hand?

Ye Xiangxiang immediately followed him into the house, "I would like to ask you to pretend to be a member of the court."

He raised his eyebrows slightly, adding a bit of interest to his jade-smooth face.

Ye Xiangxiang continued, "Just pretend that you are a member of the imperial court, preferably a prince or a prince. With just one word, you can make people carry this Fuyu Mountain. This is the effect I want."

Meng Tianlang sat down, raised his hand to pour a glass of water, and placed it in front of her.

"You want them to fight among themselves and make the bandits think that the news was given to the court by Kong Shun, and anger him."

Ye Xiangxiang drank the water quickly and said with a smile, "This is my plan, do you think it is feasible?"

Meng Tianlang nodded, "It's feasible."

He sighed softly again, "It's just that if no officers and soldiers come, this trick can't be hidden for long. The bandits didn't take over the mountain as kings the first day, so they are not that easy to deceive."

Ye Xiangxiang remained silent. He said, "In addition to lying to them, we must also spread the news. Just reporting to the Yamen is useless. We need to step on their painful feet so that they have to eradicate the bandits."

Ye Xiangxiang said, "The bandits and horse thieves have been here for so long, and the Yamen has not taken any measures. There must be someone behind them, and it should be Mr. Weng." "We are living a difficult life now, so naturally we can't fight with those people. , it would be nice if they tied up someone important."

She held her chin and thought about it, her eyes brightened, "Even if you are not tied up, the news can still be spread. If a powerful person is kidnapped by bandits, the Yamen will not be able to take it seriously."

Meng Tianlang agreed, "Very good. If everything goes well, with the power of the court, maybe we can really catch them all."

Ye Xiangxiang is unsure, but he hasn't done it yet. Who knows whether it will succeed?
  She smiled and said, "That's what I planned for now. You promised me just now. You can't go back on it."

"what?"

Ye Xiangxiang was anxious, "You're pretending to be a prince. With your temperament, you quite resemble that."

Meng Tianlang asked, "What kind of temperament?"

"The temperament of not eating the fireworks of the world." Ye Xiangxiang stood up, "You can't go back on your word after you have said it. I remember it, follow my arrangements."

After getting up and going out, he happened to bump into Meng Chang. Ye Xiangxiang quickly bowed, "Mr. Meng."

Meng Chang said, "What are you discussing?"

Ye Xiangxiang didn't know where to start, Meng Tianlang said, "She asked me to help pretend to be the prince."

Ye Xiangxiang nodded, "Well, that's what happened. I'll go and get busy first. You guys can talk slowly."

After closing the door, Meng Chang's face suddenly sank.

"Little Lord……"

Meng Tianlang smiled slightly, "Mr. Meng, I know what you want to say, but I really want to know whether they can handle these people."

Meng Chang sighed, "Young Master, if you continue like this, important events will be delayed."

"Mr. Meng, if I can't even help her bring the bandits and horse thieves to justice, how can you believe that I have the ability to rescue my father's old men?"

Even he didn't believe it himself.

He looked at Meng Chang with stern eyes, "This is a trial, isn't it?"

Meng Chang remained silent, then raised his hand to salute, "Meng Chang obeys the young master's instructions."

At noon the next day, Ye Hongchang came back with his people. Five people came, each carrying a large bag of things and panting heavily from exhaustion.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked people to take the things down, "You have to carry so many things all the way back? You must be exhausted."

Ye Hongchang said, "No, I called a bullock cart in the town, but I heard that I was coming to Xiema Village. I said I was going back two miles away, so I couldn't force it."

Mrs. Wang sighed, "Oh, this is how our world is. Everyone is scared when they hear it. It's okay. Life is getting better step by step, and things will get better in the future."

This time I bought a lot of things, from mattresses and quilts to pots and pans, and several bags of food, including oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

To live life, these things are indispensable.

Ye Hongchang handed the things to Wang, and she would take care of them. He had other things to discuss with Ye Xiangxiang.

Just as Ye Xiangxiang came back, he asked her to go inside.

"I went to town this time and heard some news."

 Good morning everyone!
