The guards immediately approached Lady Hou and asked her to come ashore.

Lady Hou did not bring any treasure, but only threatened: "If you dare to break your promise, I guarantee you will not get a single penny, and the men I brought will raze your Yunhe Village to the ground."

Liu Erzhuang thought to himself that those people weren't even enough to fill their teeth.

A huge rock would sweep these people and their boat away.

But he remained outwardly friendly, since a portion of the 100,000 taels of gold that Lady Hou had sent was intended for their village.

Liu Erzhuang laughed and said, "No, no, you'll know when Madam arrives."

Lady Hou had a guard bring out a small box filled with gold coins, worth at least several dozen taels. "Alright, lead the way, don't waste our time."

Liu Erzhuang was flattered and said, "Madam, please wait here, I will go and fetch Ye Feng for you right away."

Lady Hou: ? ?

Oh no, this lowly guard captain actually has such great abilities?

She gave the money hoping someone would say a few nice words to her, so as not to anger these desperate criminals.

It's not too late to take back the silver and attack after she sees her son.

To everyone's surprise, as soon as Madam Hou entered the village, she saw Liu Erzhuang and her son, who were good friends, coming over together.

Ye Feng also stuffed a roasted chicken wing into Liu Erzhuang's hand. "Brother, try it. Take me with you when you come to the capital. Yunhe Village is great in every way, except it lacks singers and dancers. I don't dare to go to the capital alone."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw his mother standing not far away, her face contorted with rage.

Ye Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he dropped the chicken leg in his hand.
