Chapter 465: The Demon Concubine Who Brings Trouble to the Nation vs. the Bandit Emperor of the Founding of the Country 76
The bosses in the council hall were not too moved, after all, they were not going hungry, but the bandits outside were extremely happy.
Ever since the village was looted by the Feitian Gang, there is no food left in the village, and the leaders are busy fighting for power and profit. They are all afraid of being stabbed in the back, so they dare not go to rob places far away.
In the past few months, let alone fresh rice, sometimes they didn't even have beans to eat. Even if the head of the family brought back some food, it would be impossible for them to eat their fill.
Ji Yunhuan stuffed the food into the briefcase, but actually put it into the space.
Half of the space is planted with grain. The grain in the national treasury is tribute rice from all over the country. It is the best grain. Moreover, the space can also improve the grain varieties. The grain grown now is bigger and fuller.
The grain has been harvested twice and matures faster than outside. Ji Yunhuan plans to try planting it on the top of the mountain. If it can survive, there will be no shortage of food in Lingnan in the future.
Ji Yunhuan took out a string of gold medals like a magician and tied them together with red cotton thread. The golden color blinded everyone's eyes.
"Not only food, as long as you support A Yuan, these gold medals are prepared by A Yuan for you. With your name engraved on them, they are a symbol of status. Everyone here will have a share."
The leaders were all stunned. This gold medal was not as big as the Feitian Gang's token and was only the size of a woman's palm, but it was gold!
Wei Zhong also felt itchy in his heart when he saw this. Where did a woman get so much gold? It was all given by Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan said nice things and gave all the looted food to the village. Who knows how many good things he had hidden in private.
Sooner or later these treasures will be his!
"It's just a piece of gold, and you think you can buy people's hearts? Everyone here has seen the world, who cares about your charity!"
The third in command stood up happily and took a gold medal from Ji Yunhuan. He took a bite of the gold and laughed so hard that his eyes disappeared.
"I really want it! This is real gold nugget. Yuan has really become more capable after his trip. He even knows how to honor us. Anyone who doesn't accept it is a fool!"
Everyone in the meeting hall was eager to get in on the action. They were really envious of the gold that was handed to them.
Several bosses exchanged glances with each other, wondering if they could find an opportunity to rob. They were bandits and had no sense of propriety or honor. How could they possibly keep a woman with so much gold?
Ji Dahu stood beside Ji Yunhuan and said in a loud voice, "I advise you to put away your thoughts. Since I dare to show it to you, I am not afraid of you snatching it. If you are not afraid of death, come and try it!"
A few people put this thought aside for the time being. Everyone was still hesitating. Wei Zhong saw that the situation was not right, gritted his teeth and said loudly:
"She has gold, and so do I! It's just a piece of gold. I'm the boss, so I'll give out gold too, bigger and better than hers!"
"You better think about it. Lin Yuan only listened to Hong Xing and never took you seriously. If he becomes the boss, can you still sit here peacefully? I'm afraid you can only fetch water and chop firewood. It's not your turn to rob the rich!"
Lin Yuan really wanted to tidy up the mountain stronghold. After his adoptive father's death, these people acted on their own and the mountain stronghold was in chaos. If he were in charge of the mountain stronghold, he would naturally reward them according to their merits. Some people were not worthy of being here at all.
Ji Yun laughed and said, "Uncle Wei, you are just talking nonsense. Why don't you take out the gold? If you can't take it out, you are just fooling the bosses. How can you expect them to trust you?"
"If A Yuan becomes the head of the family, all the uncles will naturally have to sit in the council hall. However, according to merit, people like Meng Bo who have made great contributions to the village should also be included in the council hall. It's just a matter of adding a few more seats. I don't lack this little gold. Everyone in the council hall has a gold medal!"
After these words were spoken, everyone was a little shaken. If the status quo could be maintained, it would not matter who was the boss.
The third boss was the first to raise the gold medal in his hand and said cheerfully, "I support A Yuan. A son inherits his father's legacy, and an adopted son is still a son."
A few more people received gold medals and said in a very tough manner, "I am not greedy for this little bit of gold, I just don't want to be defeated by Wei Zhong. If you are really capable, I will be defeated by you."
"It doesn't matter who you are in charge of, just don't let the brothers go hungry. Give me what I owe you, or I'll make you pay!"
"You have really grown in ability. When Brother Hong was alive, he often praised you. I still trust Brother Hong's judgment."
Wei Zhong was very angry. If the stalemate continued like this, these money-hungry guys would support Lin Yuan.
Who is this woman? She can fool these fools with just a few words. Lin Yuan actually listens to a woman and agrees with whatever she says.
A bandit outside peeked out, looking unhappy, and made a dejected gesture towards Wei Zhong.
Wei Zhong knew that the people he sent out failed, but he was happy instead. It was a blessing in disguise. It would be best if a war broke out in the west so that he could use this incident to make Lin Yuan completely lose the support of the people.
When the time comes, he will kill Lin Yuan and get his treasure, and then his position will be completely secure.
Wei Zhong put on an indignant look and shouted, "Don't be fooled by her. Who knows what she is up to? Lin Yuan was bewitched by a woman. As soon as he came back, he made everyone restless. If there was internal strife in the village, what good would it do you?"
"You may not know that Lin Yuan is on good terms with the government. Once the stronghold falls into his hands, he will use your lives to seek credit from the government. We brothers are stepping stones for him to get promoted and make money."
The Third Master glared at him, shaking his beard as he cursed, "Shameless thing! I think you are just spouting shit because you can't beat A Yuan! In terms of force, you can't beat A Yuan, but in terms of contribution to the village, A Yuan has more food and money than you. We are not fools, so we will naturally side with A Yuan!"
"A Yuan's parents were killed by the government. How could he be involved with the corrupt officials? You should know when to stop making up lies. No one will believe you."
Wei Zhong waved at his confidant and shouted, "Third Master, you are confused! You are blinded by this little profit. We are bandits. We can't rob money no matter how much money we have. If we are caught by the government, we will lose our lives!"
Just as he finished speaking, a bandit rushed forward, covering his arm. There was a huge cut on his shoulder, and blood was dripping all the way.
The bandit pounced in front of Wei Zhong, and his performance was extremely realistic.
"Boss, help us! There's a fight in the west! The brothers thought those people were Lin Yuan's friends, so they kindly sent them food, but they captured us without saying a word! They shouted for war and even said they wanted to wipe out the bandit's den!"
"I have escaped death and am here to tell you the news. Boss, please think of a solution quickly. Lin Yuan has let a wolf into the house. He wants to destroy our village!"
