Chapter 20: Tooth for tooth! (Please recommend and read)
"Brother-in-law, come, let me toast you again." Li Changkong took a sip of the duck, sipped his lips, and felt extremely satisfied. He raised the glass again and toasted his brother-in-law from the upper clan.

The two of them clinked their glasses of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

"Brother-in-law, with the wealth of Ye Xiaotian's family alone, I'm afraid it's still a little short of what we can afford to buy that thousand-year-old ginseng, right?" Li Changkong said this not because he was really worried about his brother-in-law, but because he wanted to avoid having to pay for it himself.

His stingy nature was fully displayed at this moment.

How could the governor, who knew his brother-in-law's character well, not see it?
However, thinking of the relationship between the two, he had to explain patiently: "A wealthy family in this town was murdered. Are they investigating the cause of death?"

"Are you going to eliminate the bandits?"

"We do this for the safety of other businesses in town."

"But the town government is short of money. For their own safety, shouldn't the wealthy families in Qingshan Town donate a little?"

"In this way, as long as we are a little bit ruthless, make the people suffer, and then make these merchants suffer, no one can take away the thousand-year-old ginseng."

"Why should I go further?"

Having said that, the town commander drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, looking extremely proud.

If he were around, he would naturally not be so pushy and completely turn against the merchants in Qingshan Town.

But times now are different. The opportunity to go one step further is right in front of us.

How could he not be moved?
"My brother-in-law, this is a brilliant plan." When Li Changkong heard that he didn't need to spend any more money, he breathed a sigh of relief and praised him immediately.

"Hmph!" The garrison commander, who had seen through everything, could only snort and drink up the wine in the glass again.

Just at this moment.

boom!
The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground instantly reached the ears of the two men.

Outside the pavilion, there was a tied-up figure who seemed to have been thrown in from outside the courtyard. He fell heavily on the muddy ground filled with rainwater, looking extremely miserable.

boom!
boom!
Before Li Changkong and the garrison commander could react, two more figures were thrown in one after another.

Ye Xiaotian tiptoed lightly and easily crossed the courtyard wall and stood in the courtyard. He apologized with a smile on his face, "I'm so sorry, Lord Guardian, Manager Li, for disturbing you so late at night. I hope I didn't ruin your fun."

It was not until this time that Li Changkong and the garrison commander saw the face of the visitor clearly. They were so frightened that the wine glasses in their hands fell to the ground and shattered.

He took a closer look at the three people in the mud and found that they were the three Black Mountain Bandits.

In such a situation, even if the governor was stupid, he should understand that he was being fooled by his brother-in-law.

Immediately, he glared at him with cold and vicious eyes.

Li Changkong's face was also full of fear, but after seeing his brother-in-law's cold eyes, his face was full of grievance.

"How could this be?"

"How did things turn out like this?"

"I have clearly investigated this Ye Xiaotian. His parents fell off a cliff while hunting and both died. He was adopted by another farmer. When he was a teenager, he used his cleverness to accumulate a hundred acres of fertile land and became a small landlord in Hanjia Village."

"When did he become so powerful that even the Black Mountain Bandits are no match for him?"

Compared with those farmers, Ye Xiaotian's experience and history of making a fortune are simply legendary, but in the eyes of Li Changkong and the town governor, he is just a big soft persimmon with no background.

It was precisely because of this that they dared to capture Ye Xiaotian at will, and even colluded with the Black Mountain bandits for money.

They really didn't expect that Ye Xiaotian could fight back and leave the person in front of them.

Being able to throw three strong men from outside the courtyard into the courtyard so easily, and then climbing over it lightly, this kind of skill is not inferior to the first-class fighters in the world. What should I do now?
The garrison commander was thinking about how to turn hostility into friendship and resolve this crisis.

Li Changkongzi was so frightened that he hid behind his brother-in-law.

I hope Ye Xiaotian doesn’t dare to kill the official. His whole family is in Qingshan Town, so they might be cautious and won’t make a big deal out of it and take his life.

Seeing that the two men had gloomy faces but had not replied, Ye Xiaotian smiled again: "Unfortunately, my house was robbed today. When I asked them in detail, they said that they were specifically following the orders of the town guard and Manager Li. I naturally don't believe it."

"So, we specially brought them all here to confront the town commander."

"I wonder if the town guard can give Ye an explanation?"

Listening to Ye Xiaotian's words, the town guard knew that the other party already knew everything, so he stopped pretending and immediately said, "What kind of answer do you want, Brother Ye?"

This was a step forward from retreat, indicating that he was indeed at fault in this matter and was willing to make compensation, and by the way, he was also testing Ye Xiaotian's appetite.

"Haha! In this case, the town commander admitted that he assigned them to attack and kill Ye's family."

Ye Xiaotian sneered, his eyes were extremely cold at this moment.

"I'm a newcomer to town, and I just want to run a small business in peace. So, can I just rob anything I want?"

"However, the education that Ye was born into does not allow me to go against my conscience and do this."

"Now that you started it, it is only natural for me to come here for revenge."

"If that's the case, you should be more careful in your next life."

Whoosh!
A wind blade swept out, and the governor just raised his hand to indicate that they could discuss it properly. But before he could finish his words, the head flew high into the air and fell heavily on the stone table.

Li Changkong, who was standing by, was so frightened when he saw this scene that he trembled all over and a fishy smell filled the air.

A closer look revealed that his lower body was completely wet.

Seeing Ye Xiaotian approaching step by step, he couldn't help but yelled: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I will give you everything, the herbal medicine shop, and the silver."

"If it doesn't work, I still have a wife and a daughter. I'll give them all to you, all to you, all to you."

"I beg you, Master Ye, Master Ye, my Master Ye!"

"Please spare my life. I don't want to die."

Li Changkong was now incoherent in order to survive. The sight of his brother-in-law's tragic death, with his head flying high and blood splattered all over his body, had completely broken down his psychological defenses.

Seeing his miserable appearance, Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but sigh.

"I thought you were a ruthless character since you dared to hire someone to kill someone."

"I didn't expect that he would be so cowardly."

"If it were something else, I might spare your life."

"But you bribed the Black Mountain bandits to kill my wife and children and seize my inheritance."

"To be honest, if not only you are going to die today, but your entire family will also die. I will not be at peace."

"After all, I can't be sure whether all of you, young and old, have no spiritual roots."
