The most arrogant in history

Chapter 156 My illness.

Jiao Nu had never experienced such a thing and her face turned pale with fright.

In the yard, the situation is under control.

The personal guard reported: "Don't be alarmed, Lord Ye. We have killed the assassins and captured three alive. The leader is Guan Yafu, the former chief clerk of Dongba County! All parts of the county governor's office are safe and sound. Only the two guards at the back door were injured."

"It's him?"

Ye Kun frowned and gave an order: "The guard company will search the entire county governor's mansion to prevent any remnants. The left guard company will strengthen patrols in the city, and the right guard company will rush to the four gates and order them to strengthen the defense. Then, bring Guan Yafu to me, don't embarrass him."

The personal soldiers received the order and went to do their work.

Not long after, Guan Yafu was tied up and brought to Ye Kun.

Ye Kun had already put on his clothes. He frowned and asked, "Master Guan, I, Ye Kun, have not offended you. Why did you bring people to assassinate me in the middle of the night?"

This time when conquering Dongba City, Ye Kun did not cause any harm.

They only confiscated Liu Dongliang's property and took over the treasury and armory.

Ye Kun retained all the former officials of Dongba City, both big and small, in their original positions, and their salaries and benefits remained the same as before.

That's quite considerate.

Ye Kun wanted Guan Yafu to continue to serve as the chief clerk, but he kept saying he was ill and was unable to go, so Ye Kun had to find someone else to replace him.

I didn't expect that this old man would dare to assassinate me!

Guan Yafu was over fifty years old. Although he was tied up, he was furious and cursed:

"Ye thief, I wish I could eat your flesh alive. If you fail today, you will die, no need to ask any more questions!"

Leaf thief?

Ye Kun felt very honored. This was a direct upgrade to Cao Cao's level!

The personal guards were furious and wanted to punish Guan Yafu.

"Don't do it, back off."

Ye Kun shouted back his personal guards, stepped forward and untied Guan Yafu, and said with a smile: "Master Guan, did I steal anything from your house? Why are you calling me a thief?"

Guan Yafu pointed at Ye Kun and said, "You are treacherous and despicable. You agreed with Lord Liu to suppress the bandits, but you turned against him and attacked Dongba City. You are worse than a thief!"

"Well done, well done. But I feel wronged and need to discuss this with Guan Zhubu." Ye Kun nodded and pulled Guan Yafu to sit down.

"Where did Liu Dongliang get all the grain he had stored up? Did he get it from the people? However, Liu Dongliang was living a life of luxury while the people in his territory were starving to death. I am a thief who stole Dongba City. I would like to ask if Liu Dongliang is a traitor to the people by plundering their wealth?"

"This……"

Guan Yafu was speechless.

Ye Kun sighed: "This world belongs to everyone, not just one family. I took over Dongba City to return it to the people of Dongba County, not to take it for myself."

Guan Yafu snorted: "I'm afraid you are saying one thing and thinking another!"

"Right and wrong will be determined." Ye Kun said with a smile:

"Master Guan, let's make a bet. From now on, you follow me and watch me handle the government affairs of Dongba County. After ten days, if you still think I deserve to die, I will give you my head."

Guan Yafu didn't understand what Ye Kun meant and looked confused.

The personal guard came to report: "Master Ye, all 33 members of Guan Yafu's family have been captured and are awaiting their fate!"

Guan Yafu closed his eyes and sighed.

Ye Kun looked at the sky and waved his hand, saying, "Take Guan Zhubu and go to his house to take a look."

By this time, it was already daybreak.

Guan Yafu's house was guarded from front to back, making it impossible for anyone to get in or out.

Ye Kun took Guan Yafu into the yard.

Thirty-three members of the housekeeper's family were kneeling in the yard.

Under the steel knife, young and old, all looked pale.

"Put away the knife and let them go."

Ye Kun waved at the soldiers.

The soldiers put away their swords and retreated.

The housekeeper still didn't dare to get up.

"A scholar is useless!" Ye Kun sighed and looked at Guan Yafu:

"Master Guan, you brought a dozen servants with you to assassinate me. Don't you think it's ridiculous? You are not afraid of death, and you even want to use your own life to exchange for a reputation of loyalty and righteousness. But have you asked your family? You are foolishly loyal and filial, impulsive and confused, and you have the heart to sacrifice the lives of your entire family?"

Guan Yafu was still pretending to be powerful, and said proudly: "I died fighting against the enemy, and my death was worthy!"

"You're still so excited!" Ye Kun was so angry that he laughed and pointed at the housekeeper:

"Look at your daughter-in-law, daughter, grandson, and granddaughter. You don't feel sorry for them, but I do. What did they do wrong to meet a foolish head of the family like you? Do they have to die with you?"

The housekeepers, young and old, were already crying.

Guan Yafu glared: "At worst, you'll die. Why are you crying?"

"You are wrong, Master Guan. There are many things in this world that are more painful than death." Ye Kun could no longer bear it, so he leaned close to Guan Yafu's ear and whispered:

"Have you ever thought about the women in your family? And the children? If I were unkind and unjust and indulged my subordinates, do you dare to imagine that kind of scene?"

Guan Yafu shuddered and finally shut up.

Ye Kun took a few steps forward and said to the housekeepers:

"All of you should stand up. Everyone is responsible for their own actions. Even if I want to kill Guan Zhubu, I will not implicate you."

Guan Yafu's son, who was about 30 years old, kowtowed to Ye Kun and said, "Master Ye, thank you for your kindness and for sparing my family. I am willing to die in place of my father, please grant my wish, Master Ye."

Ye Kun nodded: "Brother, what's your name?"

"The villain controls the leopard."

"Get up." Ye Kun pulled Guan Bao up and said with a smile:

"I just told your father to follow me for ten days to see if I am wholeheartedly serving the people. After ten days, if he still thinks I deserve to die, I will offer my head. Brother Bao, you should follow me for these ten days so that we can get to know each other."

Guan Bao was stunned: "Master Ye, you won't kill my father?"

"I usually don't kill people, I just destroy their hearts."

Ye Kun waved his hand and ordered: "All soldiers must withdraw, and do not embarrass the housekeeper. I will go back to the mansion first, Brother Bao, you can bring your father to the county governor's mansion to listen to the government later."

Guan Bao bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Ye. I will be right here soon."

Ye Kun looked at Guan Yafu again and said, "Master Guan, we have a bet for ten days. Before the bet is concluded, you must not commit suicide. Otherwise, it would be the act of a coward."

Guan Yafu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll follow you for ten days. If you say one thing and mean another and just seek fame, I'll still call you a thief Ye!"

"I, Ye Ze, have no problem except that I have some widower disease."

Ye Kun laughed loudly, clasped his fists and said goodbye: "Looking forward to seeing you!"

The soldiers inside and outside the housekeeper retreated with Ye Kun.

Guan Yafu looked at his family in front of him in silence.

Guan Bao stepped forward and sighed, "Lord Ye has a very good reputation in Dongba City. The people of Qianli all praise him. Father, why do you have to be so stubborn and fight against the stone with an egg?"

"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Wait for me to change my clothes and go to the county governor's mansion to see how Ye Kun governs the country."

Guan Yafu snorted and went into the inner hall to change his clothes.

Ye Kun returned to the county magistrate's mansion, hurriedly drank a bowl of porridge, and went to the hall to discuss matters.

Half an hour later, Guan Yafu and his son arrived.

Ye Kun asked them to sit aside while he continued to handle government affairs.

Guan Yafu was full of pride at first, but as he watched more carefully, he felt that Ye Kun did things neatly and orderly, and he could not help but nod slightly.
