"What?! Ye Ming, you're crazy! Do you dare to think about the emperor's tribute? Sister Wang Qi was stunned.

"Don't look at the emperor too sacredly, in the final analysis, he is also a person, and he also has birth, old age, sickness and death, but the power is greater than others, what can he not rob of his tribute?" Ye Ming smiled: "Moreover, I didn't say to rob them all, just grab a sum." ”

"You... You.. You're crazy! Wang Qi took a few steps back and shouted: "That's a tribute, if it is known, it is a big crime to kill the head and punish the nine clans, you, how can you have such an idea?" ”

"Why can't there be? In the end, the tribute is just the people's fat and people's ointment looted by the local officials, and there is no guilt in robbing it, and this is also the fastest way to get money, I told you that I want to ask you for help, and it shouldn't be difficult to do this with the force of the two of you, right? ”

"Impossible!" Wang Qi denied: "Our Wangjiazhai has a tradition of robbing the rich and helping the poor, but we will not use the money for robbery on ourselves, this is also our Wangjiazhai's family motto, don't think about this anymore, it's impossible!" Also, you'd better forget what you said about it completely, or something will happen, and don't expect us to save you, we don't want to put ourselves in it! Sister, let's go! ”

Wang Qi glanced at Ye Ming deeply, and left with his sister, leaving Ye Ming sitting in the room in a daze.

"Alas, the thinking of the ancients is stubborn," Ye Ming shook his head: "Why did I think of grabbing tribute, isn't it still safe, generally speaking, the team that transports tribute is the lowest force value, because everyone knows the meaning of this team, and there is no one who dares to do it, over time they will not send a master to escort them, as long as they make a move, they must be 100% successful, and as long as they disguise themselves secretly, who knows who did it?" The courage of the ancients was still too small. ”

"Well, since they don't want to do it, then I can only do it!"

....

Three days later, Ye Ming took the ultra-long-distance repeating crossbow that the carpenter Wang Li made according to the drawings he had drawn, and appeared on horseback on the road to pay tribute 50 miles away from the national capital, waiting for the rabbit.

Ye Ming has no force yet, so he is not anyone's opponent in close combat, but his ultra-long-distance repeating crossbow perfectly solves this shortcoming, the range of the ultra-long-distance repeating crossbow is more than 500 steps, and the ancient unit of measurement step refers to the distance after an adult takes one step on the left and one right, about 70 centimeters, and 500 steps is 350 meters, which is already very far for a small bow and crossbow.

In addition to the fact that this is a repeating crossbow, a full 8 crossbow arrows can be fired continuously at a time, and the way to replace the crossbow arrows is also very simple, the average replacement time of an arrow is a little more than 12 seconds, as long as the guards who pay tribute do not exceed 15 people, Ye Ming is sure to eat it!

Ye Ming hid in a forest on the south side of the official road, covered with a large number of branches and leaves as a cover, and people in the distance couldn't tell that there was a person hiding here even if they didn't look closely.

In the morning, 4 batches of teams have passed, but these four batches are a bit large, and the least of them are more than 30 people, so Ye Ming can't find a chance to start at all.

In the afternoon, another 6 batches have passed, and the number of people is still very large, seeing that the sun is about to set, Ye Ming shook his head and prepared to continue tomorrow, finally, the 11th batch of the team that I saw today appeared in front of Ye Ming's eyes, 9 people, this team is only 9 people!

Ye Ming fixed his eyes and was immediately happy, this team was flying two flags, one was written Cao County, and the other was written to pay tribute to Beijing, it was obvious that this was the offensive gift prepared by the county order of Cao County to the saint!

In Yunguo, as long as you feel that you have the ability, anyone can give an offering to the emperor, the emperor who loves money will not refuse, let alone care where the money you offer comes from, this is also the news that Ye Ming heard in the capital during this time, and through this Ye Ming speculated why Yunguo is the weakest in China, even the emperor is so greedy for money, not to mention the officials below, big officials are greedy, small officials are greedy, everyone puts their minds on how to be greedy for money, it is strange that the country can become bigger and stronger, This is also why Ye Ming took the road of robbing tribute, because he is robbing the rich and helping the poor, is he so poor now? !

As all 9 members of the team walked into the ultra-long-distance repeating crossbow, Ye Ming was not there, and directly pulled the trigger, but he did not aim at the vital parts of these people, but aimed at the thighs of these people, just to make them lose their combat effectiveness and not their lives, after all, these people are just minions of the county order, and the crime is not to death.

As the first person was shot by a crossbow arrow, he fell off his horse with a scream, and before the others could react, the swishing arrow hit the other 7 people with 7 consecutive arrows, leaving only the person at the back standing there with a confused face, stunned by this sudden scene.

Ye Ming filled the crossbow arrows as fast as he could, removed the camouflage on his body, and ran towards the scene as fast as he could.

At this time, he was dressed in black, covered his head with a black cloth, and only showed his two eyes, and after running over, he kicked the man to the ground with one kick, and said in a very low and rough voice: "Say, which box is the silver in?!" ”

"You..." At this time, the person who was hit by the arrow reacted, and roared angrily: "Who is the thief, who actually robbed the county to order the lord to pay tribute to the emperor, do you want to be punished by the nine clans?!" ”

Ye Ming glanced at him coldly, didn't even bother to say anything, just gave the guy another arrow, and then still looked at the last person, and asked, "I'll ask the last time, where is the box containing the silver?" If you don't say it, I'll send you on your way right now! ”

"Don't!" The man was frightened, and pointed to the third box in the middle and said, "Where is the silver!" ”

Ye Ming snorted coldly, kicked the box to the ground, the tribute seal on the box was broken, the box mouth opened, and it was densely packed with neatly arranged silver ingots, and on the top, there was a neat bundle of silver tickets, Ye Ming took it out and counted it, and couldn't help but gasp.

There are 50 silver tickets, all of which are worth 1,000 taels, which is really... It's going crazy!

A small county town in a remote area, a county order can actually provide 50,000 taels of silver, oh no, this is only the number of silver tickets, if you count the silver in the box, how to calculate it will be 60,000 taels, in addition to the precious items in several other boxes, I'm afraid 80,000 taels will not be able to get down!

"A county order can only issue such a big fortune, let alone those big officials, Yunguo, eat jujube pills!" Ye Ming shook his head, put the silver ticket in his arms, turned around and ran towards the woods.
