Chapter 58 The fight started
  After working for three days in a row, plus the wasteland that had been opened before, there were nearly thirty acres of land in total.

Ye Hongchang was very satisfied with the result. Everyone was so energetic that they were reluctant to go back even after the sun went down.

Ye Hongchang said, "Come back tomorrow. This land will not escape if it is placed here. There is so much land in Xiema Village. The yamen has said that we can open it as much as we can. Let's open it slowly."

Everyone was happy, and finally had a way of living their lives.

Because they have been opening up wasteland these past few days, the horse thieves have become less wary, thinking that these people are really here for farming.

A horse thief passed by on horseback, but there was no conflict. He went back and said, "Boss, it's been three days and Yue Laizi hasn't come yet. This time he is really stable."

Kong Shun was also a little anxious, fearing that Yue Laizi had also thought of this, and whoever bowed his head first would lose.

"No rush, just wait."

In the village, Yue Laizi couldn't wait any longer. He slapped the table and said, "No matter what, I will go to Kong Shun tomorrow to settle the account. If we wait any longer, the officers and soldiers can directly surround the mountain."

The younger brothers below also agreed, "Hit, let's go and beat Kong Shun down. From now on we can also be those horse thieves. It's better than staying in the mountains all the time."

"That's right, we all listened to the boss and wiped out the gang of thieves."

The bandits were excited, and Meng Tianlang brought Ye Xiangxiang to inquire about the news. Upon seeing this, the two knew that the bandits would go down the mountain the next day.

Ye Hongchang didn't dare to wait any longer and set out overnight. No matter what, he must bring the people from the yamen to the village tomorrow, otherwise the wait these days would be in vain.

If the bandits leave and then look for the yamen servants, the bandits will be aware of it, and it will not be easy to provoke them later.

At dawn the next day, Magistrate Zheng had not yet woken up from his nap, when he heard the chief clerk say, "Sir, Ye Hongchang wants to see you."

Magistrate Zheng waved his hand, "No, no, I'm busy. I see all kinds of cats and dogs. Do you want to tire me to death?"

The chief clerk said, "Sir, this Ye Hongchang is the leader of the group that fled last time. You took him to Xiema Village. Do you remember?"

After saying this, Magistrate Zheng came back to his senses and said, "It's him. Why, he can't stay any longer and has come to ask me for help?"

"Sir, that doesn't seem to be the case." The chief clerk came closer. "He came to apply for the land deed. He said that he had opened up fifty acres of wasteland. Sir, this matter is not a trivial matter."

Magistrate Zheng frowned, "What? Not only did they not let the bandits kill them, but they also opened fifty acres of wasteland?"

"Yes, I felt incredible. I thought, this group of people might really have something special about them. It's not easy to offend them until they find out. Although they only got to meet you through the name of General An, But the letter was indeed written by General An. Who is General An? If it really doesn’t matter, can he write letters for them casually? "

Magistrate Zheng also panicked when the chief clerk reminded him.

"That's true. In case they said that to avoid suspicion, didn't I offend General An?"

The chief clerk clapped his hands, "Yes, that's what I'm worried about. Now he says they have opened fifty acres of land, so we can't ignore it. Even if it really has nothing to do with General An, if they open fifty acres of wasteland, this is your fault." political achievements."

Magistrate Zheng nodded and said immediately, "Go and arrange for someone to go back with him to measure the land. Don't make things difficult for them, and don't be too polite."

"Yes, I'll go to my humble position right now."

Ye Hongchang waited for the chief clerk to reply, and after a while he saw the person again, who had a smiling face.

"The magistrate has said that you have done a great job in reclaiming the wasteland, so I will send someone to measure the land and get the title deed for you."

Ye Hongchang held up his hands and said, "Thank you, sir. Are you leaving now?"

"Wait a while, I'll pick out a few useful ones and follow you." Ye Hongchang didn't dare to show too much anxiety, nodded, and waited there with peace of mind.

In fact, there is not fifty acres, but if I don't tell you more, I'm afraid I won't be able to let them go there immediately.

Here they are working hard to bring the government servants to the door, while over there Meng Tianlang and Ye Xiangxiang are lying in ambush on the only way down the mountain. When they see the bandits, they quickly take a shortcut back to the village.

They dressed up in disguise and looked just like ordinary people. They went straight to the place where Kong Shun lived.

Fortunately, these people are used to being lazy, so they are going down the mountain at just the right time. If everything goes well for Ye Hongchang, he should be able to bring the Yamen servant back soon.

Yue Laizi came in and kicked down Kong Shun's courtyard door, "Let Kong Shun come out to see me."

The people below hurried to report the news. Kong Shun went out and snorted coldly, "Hey, isn't this Brother Yue? What kind of wind blew today, it actually blew you down the mountain."

Yue Laizi sat directly on the chair, crossed his legs and said, "Don't try to get close to me. If you don't explain things clearly today, I will never be done with you. I'll remember the fire I made a few days ago."

"What kind of fire?" Kong Shun was confused. All he could think of was the fire he had people set, but what does it have to do with Yue Laizi?
  "Pretend, you continue to pretend with me." Yue Laizi gritted his teeth, "Tell me, when did you hook up with the Yamen? If you kill me, you can also take over Fuyu Mountain?"

Only then did Kong Shun realize that they seemed to be talking about different things.

"Brother Yue, is there any misunderstanding here?"

Yue Laizi scolded, "Bah, misunderstanding, I believe your nonsense? If you don't accept it, then do it. Whatever territory you win will be given to you. If you lose, get out of here as far as I can."

Naturally, it was impossible for Kong Shun to admit that he was connected with the Yamen. As the two talked, they were about to quarrel.

A bandit ran in in a hurry and said, "Master, it's not good, there are several government servants outside."

Hearing this, Yue Laizi couldn't hold back his anger and grabbed Kong Shun's collar, "You said you didn't collude with the Yamen? I brought people here, and then the Yamen came. What do you mean?" "

Kong Shun asked, "What are the yamen servants doing here?"

The younger brothers below him shook their heads, wondering what was going on.

In the eyes of Yue Laizi, this was just pretending. He had endured his anger for several days, but now he couldn't bear it anymore and punched Kong Shun in the face.

Kong Shun spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his big teeth also fell out.

When the horse thief sees this, how can he bear it?
  "Brother, how are you?"

After saying that, the third child glared at the bandits angrily, "You are here today to look for trouble. How can we let you take advantage of us on our territory? Brothers, come on."

Meng Tianlang was hiding on the roof, and a few stones flew over. The people on both sides were hit twice, all of them vital, and his eyes suddenly turned red with anger.

"If you dare to play dirty tricks, I will fight with you!"

When mountain bandits and horse thieves fight together, they are fighting for their lives, and there is great movement.

Several government officials in the field heard the noise, but they did not dare to raise their heads. One of them took a curious look and was hit by another.

"Work on it. Once you're done measuring it, go back and get back to work."

 I almost forgot to update in the evening. Good evening everyone, vote and you will be rich!
