Rich and powerful

"That's not what the villain said! You clearly promised my son before that you will give my son [-]% of the stolen money obtained from the bandits!"

During this period of time, Zheng Li was subjected to all kinds of express hints from Qiu Yi, even coercion and temptation, just trying to instigate him against him and make him join him.

But Zheng Li did hesitate in the first few days.

But in the end he figured it out, the opportunity to change his life against the sky was entirely given by Lin Yun, and he could not betray him.

Moreover, he is aware of Lin Yun's methods, and his betrayal may not end well.

Especially thinking about Ah San whose leg was blown off, even though he belonged to Lin Yun, he also ended up disabled.

Therefore, Zheng Li kept his heart and withstood Lin Yun's test.

Qiu Yi said in a deep voice: "Didn't you already give your young master 800 taels of silver? Isn't that enough?"

"Of course it's not enough! During the last week's bandit suppression, a total of at least 10 taels of silver was confiscated. According to the agreement between Mr. Qiu and my son, my son must take at least 3 taels of silver!"

"Ha ha!!"

Qiu Yi raised his head and laughed wildly, and said: "Zheng Lili! You are right, but I regret it again! I really didn't expect that this group of robbers who started their business by plundering people's fat and anointing would be so rich, such a large sum of ill-gotten wealth , I don’t want it in Yucheng Mansion, and neither can Lin Yun!”

Zheng Li asked with a dark face: "Then how does Mr. Qiu plan to deal with the money?"

"It's very simple, my son is sympathetic to the people's feelings, and intends to distribute all the money to the people of Yucheng!"

Qiu Yi has a righteous face, as if he really cares about the common people.

But in fact, not to mention that Zheng Li didn't believe it, even the officers and soldiers who followed Qiu Yi scoffed.

He distributed this large sum of money to the people of Yucheng, and there must be a way to get it back, and it was laundered money.

At that time, he can enjoy this wealth with peace of mind.

Seeing this, Zheng Li also understood that Qiu Yi had already figured out a countermeasure, and if he said more, it would only irritate him.

Finally sighed: "Okay! Since Mr. Qiu is sympathetic to the common people, it will be easy for me to go back! I will leave first!"

Afterwards, Zheng Li took three subordinates and rode away on horseback.

Qiu Yi stared sullenly at the backs of Zheng Li and the others, his eyes full of murderous intent.

During this period of time in the process of suppressing the bandits, he had gradually realized that although the four men sent by Lin Yun were average in personal strength, they were even more powerful when paired with bamboo guns.

Moreover, through his observation, he found that these four people had undergone special training.

In other words, Lin Yun must have cultivated a group of soldiers proficient in bamboo guns in private.

This filled him with worry and dread.

He changed his mind temporarily and tore up the agreement with Lin Yun, because he was afraid that Lin Yun would grow stronger if he got such a large amount of money, which would threaten the safety of Yucheng Mansion.

And these ideas were not thought out by him, nor were they told to him by his father, but were told to him by his master Chang Yufeng alone.

Although Chang Yufeng is Qiu Guangri's master, but for the sake of the future, he also won Qiu Yi's favor, which can be regarded as diversifying his own risks.

Even if Qiu Guangri falls one day in the future, he will not be liquidated by Qiu Yi.

Here, Zheng Li looked gloomy, the whip in his hand had been rounded by him, and the three subordinates behind him also understood the reason and were also unhappy.

At this time, one of them rode up to catch up and asked: "Commander Zheng, let's go back to deal with business like this, will Mr. Lin punish us?"

After this period of tempering, Zheng Li has become more mature and stable, and has more leadership qualities.

Turning his head to look at him deeply, he shook his head and said, "Of course not! Mr. Lin is not a master of right and wrong, and Qiu Yi dares to turn his back on him this time, there must be something hidden! Let's hurry up!"

After that, the four of them rode their horses and ran wildly together, and it took less than an hour to run more than 200 miles.

When they came to the outskirts of Niubei Village, they were stunned by the sight before them.

The once endless sand dunes disappeared, replaced by large fields of crops, and these neat fields have grown tender seedlings.

A soldier was surprised and said: "Commander Zheng, this...this change is too big! Isn't Niubei Village unable to grow food?"

Zheng Li lightly clamped the horse's belly and let the horse walk along the road in the middle of the wheat field.

He said with a smile: "Mr. Lin's ability, how can you wait to talk about it! It seems that during our absence, Mr. Lin has done a lot of great things!"

The three soldiers looked at each other and were secretly happy.

This time they went out to carry out the mission quite smoothly, the only bad news was that they failed to recover the [-]% of the stolen money.

However, seeing that Niubei Village has been completely reborn, they are also very happy as members of Niubei Village.

Soon, the four finally returned to the village.

On this side, Lin Yun is making perfume in the workshop.

Because of the abundant rain, the datura flowers used to make the perfume grow quickly, so Lin Yun plans to prepare the perfume in advance and wait for the good news from Ma Ji.

At this moment, Ye Wanqing pushed the door open and entered, pleasantly surprised: "Sir, hurry up... Zheng Li is back!!"

Lin Yun's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "It's only been half a month, and it seems that their suppression of the bandits went well!"

As he spoke, he put down the wooden bottle in his hand.

And Zheng Li had already entered the door, he was wearing the silver battle armor that Qiu Yi gave him back then, looking majestic.

He directly knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "I have seen Mr. Lin, this time I am lucky to have fulfilled the task that Mr. Lin gave me!"

Lin Yun smiled with satisfaction and helped him up.

The fact that Zheng Li dared to return to his life proved that he was not mistaken.

"Haha! After being tempered on the battlefield this time, Commander Zheng looks even more like a general!"

As he spoke, Lin Yun lightly beat the silver armor on his body with his fist.

On the side, Ye Wanqing also smiled and said: "Yes! After training, Commander Zheng will definitely be able to train the private army in Niubei Village even better!"

Zheng Li smiled humbly, obviously feeling that Lin Yun and Ye Wanqing's attitude towards him had become better than before.

"The second lady is joking! As long as it can share Mr. Lin's worries, let the humble official do anything!"

Lin Yun and Ye Wanqing looked at each other, very satisfied with his performance.

At that moment just now, Lin Yun also thought that if he really felt that Zheng Li had ulterior motives, or that Qiu Yi had simply instigated rebellion, then he would never show mercy.

But fortunately, my worries are unnecessary.

"Come on, tell me about the situation in the last half month!"

As he spoke, Lin Yun enthusiastically took Zheng Li's hand and walked straight to the main hall.

In the main hall, Lin Wuyue had already prepared refreshments.

After the master and servant were seated, Lin Yun handed the teacup to Zheng Li himself.
