Chapter 118: Villagers Who Owe Money

The underground money bank is the core of Cheng Wenyuan's ability to control the entire Xishan Prefecture.

Sending and receiving money is all operated through his underground bank, Jucheng Bank.

A few years ago, Cheng Wenyuan made his fortune by relying on an underground bank, and was subsequently recruited by Lord Zhou Musun.

Subsequently, the standard of living around Jucheng soared.

Speaking of soaring living standards, in fact, many poor people have no way to continue their lives and have left the surrounding areas of Jucheng to come to villages in the mountains.

And Cheng Wenyuan's status slowly rose, and he continued to grow the underground money bank in private.

Jucheng Money Bank, during that time, relied on the vigorous development of the underground money bank, not only annexed.

Soon, Jucheng Money Bank became the only underground money bank in Xishan Prefecture.

Subsequently, Cheng Wenyuan began his frenzied action.

Because Jucheng Money Village is an underground money bank, Lord Zhou Musun cannot directly intervene.

So all this is operated by Cheng Wenyuan alone.

It didn't take long for Lord Sun to announce that he was going out, and Jucheng, and even the entire Xishan Prefecture, were temporarily managed by Cheng Wenyuan.

After that, there was no news from Master Sun.

"And how the hell did they leave you without money?"

It was approaching evening, Ye Yu said, and lit the torch with his men.

"Hey...... At that time, there was no way. ”

One of the villagers sighed deeply as he spoke.

Subsequently, several people told Ye Yu about Cheng Wenyuan's routine.

First of all, Cheng Wenyuan cleverly set up a name and used all the people's money on his mobile phone.

As the name suggests, the bank is well stored, and extra money is stored regularly.

He then began to send various clients.

Talk to the people from house to house.

As soon as many people did not pay attention, they drew a pledge and signed an agreement to borrow money.

The amount of this money is generally half of the money they have saved.

So at first they didn't pay attention either.

Every month is still enough to live.

However, Cheng Wenyuan, who controls the entire Xishan Prefecture, tried his best to raise taxes, and also sent bandits and robbers to collect protection fees.

Over time, the villagers could not make ends meet, and Cheng Wenyuan began to deduct the money they had saved.

Of course, when they really ran out of money, they gradually left the surrounding areas of Jucheng and went to the mountain village.

Some are hiding, while others are trying to continue exchanging money in places where living conditions are cheap, such as mountain villages.

"Later, they would come regularly to collect debts, either to beat them up or arrest some people."

An elderly villager shook his head as he spoke, "We are miserable! ”

"I see."

Ye Yu got up and breathed a sigh of relief, "Can you escape from the village?" ”

"No way, we've had some of us."

"But the people who came back said that there are a lot of bandits on the border, just to prevent us from escaping."

Another villager sighed as well.

Ye Yu disagreed.

His brow furrowed slightly.

When he came from the capital, he didn't meet any other bandits except for the group at the post station.

"Who's coming back?"

Under questioning, no villager answered.

"They all went somewhere else."

"Steward Cheng is very strict with those who escape."

Among the villagers, someone spoke, "The bandits are all his people, as long as they are found to escape, they will chase them." ”

At this time, Ye Yu seemed to understand.

There are two possibilities, there are really bandits, but Cheng Wenyuan withdrew after the flash flood.

Another possibility is that the person who came back has become Cheng Wenyuan's internal response, bluffing them.

Either way, they could have left West Hill State now.

"Do you want to leave?"

Ye Yu said, "If you want to, I have some methods. ”

As he spoke, he told the villagers about his plan.

First of all, these villagers will flee Xishan Prefecture under their escort, and one will take them to the vicinity of the capital, where they will have land and houses and live again.

Subsequently, Ye Yu casually found some corpses, disguised as these villagers who dared to resist, and sent people to kill them all.

The villagers looked at Ye Yu with a radiant spirit, and gave them something to eat, and they couldn't help but be moved.

All said that they wanted to leave with Ye Yu.

"Lord Yuwen, is it really possible?"

"Okay, you guys pack up and go now."

Ye Yu nodded.

"We don't have anything left, we can run now."

A smile erupted into the embarrassed faces of several people.

At this point, Ye Yu escorted the people and began to march towards the capital.

On this trip, he didn't just take the villagers away and increase the farmland and population around the capital.

There are still some things that he needs to affirm.

If there is still Cheng Wenyuan's internal response among these villagers, then he will report his behavior to Cheng Wenyuan.

All the native guards are watching.

There were people watching, front, back, left and right.

Sure enough, someone soon showed their feet.

Ye Yu was asking the villagers to stop and rest.

It was then that he spotted someone sneaking out of the crowd.

"Do it."

Ye Yu smiled slightly, the person who should come out will always come out.

In a moment, the man was caught by the native guards and brought over.

"Lord Yuwen, I just want to explain ...... It's not good that there are so many people. ”

The villager smiled and pretended to be innocent.

Then a carrier pigeon flew in, and was shot by the crossbow arrow of the henchman's guard.

"Someone has already gone?"

"You continue to disguise?"

"Won't there be less money?"

Ye Yu read out the secret letter on the carrier pigeon.

"Those guys were caught too."

Obviously, these villagers, who were disguised as bandits, failed to resist pressure.

In an instant, these pretending villagers were all arrested.

Although their clothes were tattered, they were quite strong.

Not at all like someone who has been hungry for a few days without eating.

When Ye Yu ripped off their shirts, this characteristic became even more obvious.

"You were sent by Cheng Wenyuan?"

"You newcomer is not qualified to talk to me!"

Faced with questions about questioning and their own goofs, these people immediately became arrogant.

"Hurry up and let us go, or I'll report to Steward Cheng!"

"Helping these poor guys!"

"Weren't you a poor guy yourself?"

Ye Yu's words made them suddenly overwhelmed.

Yes, if you have money and can live, who wants to be a robber?

If you have money and can live, who wants to work for Cheng Wenyuan, a monster who draws blood?

"I know some of you have to do it."

Seeing that they were silent, Ye Yu continued to speak, "I'll give you a chance, leave Xishan Prefecture now and be a new person." Otherwise, kill on the spot. ”

The villagers pretending to be bandits all looked up.

"I just came, but I didn't know that Steward Cheng had an internal response here."

Then Ye Yu showed a chilling smile.

He's really going to do it!

"I'll just say that, I was sent by His Royal Highness the Prince to investigate Xishan Prefecture."

Ye Yu then announced, "After that, whether it is Cheng Wenyuan or the forces behind him, I will destroy them all!" ”
