After hearing Wang Yue's words, Ye Li and the other two looked at each other. It was obvious that Wang Yue was planning to use the yellow-clothed bandits as swords and guns to deal with Ye Li and the other two.
Wang Yue didn't know Ye Li's strength. After all, Ye Li had never taken action. And as a mayor of a small town in a marginal area, it was impossible for Wang Yue to have heard of how strong Ye Li was.
In Wang Yue's opinion, among the three, only Qian San and Ding Si are relatively strong, and it is good enough for Ye Li to have the cultivation level of the Descending God Stage.
If the strength of Zhang Hua, the leader of the Yellow Clothes Bandits, remained at the Virtual God Stage, then even if Ye Li and his men could not defeat the bandits, they would definitely be able to escape with their lives.
But now Zhang Hua’s strength has reached the level of Concentration Stage, so it would be very easy for him to get rid of the two people around Ye Li.
He has distributed half of the tax revenue to the Yellow Bandits and promised that the Yellow Bandits will get one third of the tax revenue every year in the future.
Wang Yue hoped to pay such a huge price in exchange for the lives of Qian San and Ding Si.
He had already discussed with Zhang Hua that when Ye Li and his men attacked the yellow-clothed bandits, Zhang Hua would hide in the dark and make a move to kill Qian San and Ding Si directly.
They didn't dare to take Ye Li's life casually. After all, it involved so many people. If they killed Ye Li, they would definitely offend the imperial court and send a large army to suppress the bandits.
When Qian San heard Wang Yue's words, he glanced at Ye Li and Ding Si.
Ye Li said: "Okay, then it is settled, the yellow-robed bandits are disturbing Dongfang County and causing trouble for the people.
As a lord, I have the obligation to eliminate him. We will take action to wipe them out in three days.
After we get rid of the yellow bandits, I hope you, the mayor, will pay all the taxes to me.
It's almost the end of the year, I think you should be ready for this year's taxes."
Hearing Ye Li's words, Wang Yue frowned, but immediately smiled and said, "Yes, if the yellow-robed bandits don't come to rob us and force us to pay protection money this year, we will have money to pay taxes, and we will give it all to you, Lord."
Ye Li nodded in satisfaction and said, "Okay, then it's a deal.
After wiping out the yellow-clothed bandits, only a group of fish thieves will be left in our Dongfang County.
To wipe them out is our final mission!!!"
Hearing Ye Li's words, Liu Huai glanced at Ye Li and said, "My Lord, there are more than just these two groups in Dongfang County. We also have the Mengshan Society, which can be considered a gang force!"
Ye Li smiled upon hearing this and said, "The Mengshan Society is both good and evil. Sometimes they act like bandits, and sometimes they act like knights.
It would be unfair for me to label them all as bandits. I will observe them for a while before making any plans."
Ye Li had previously asked Ding Si to obtain intelligence on these three groups, so he would have a different understanding of Mengshan today.
After hearing Ye Li's words, the three mayors could only nod and said nothing more.
Just when Wang Yue was about to invite Ye Li to dinner, Ye Li said, "Well, since the matter has been settled, I won't bother Mayor Wang any more.
You can come down and collect taxes. We will eliminate the bandits in three days and fulfill the agreement between you and me!!!"
After saying that, Ye Li waved his hand and walked out of the house with Qian San and Ding Si.
Wang Yue and the other two symbolically tried to persuade Ye Li to stay twice, but when they saw that Ye Li insisted on leaving, they decided not to try to keep him anymore.
After leaving Wang Yue's mansion, Ye Li rushed back in a carriage.
Ding Si said to Ye Li in the car: "Master, these guys are planning to use the yellow-robed bandits as knives. They definitely don't know your strength, Master, and think you are not as strong as us.
To you, the two leaders in the Virtual God Stage are no different from the rest of the ordinary soldiers. Even if the two of us don't take action, you, young master, can still capture the yellow-clothed bandit.
It seems that the three guys' wishful thinking will fail again this time. After you wipe out the yellow-clothed bandits, I wonder what other reasons they can find to refuse you!"
Ye Li nodded and said: "These old guys have been here for many years and have made a lot of money. If they are still not satisfied, then I can only be rude to them.
We have done what we should do, first use courtesy and then force. If they continue to make things difficult for us, then we can't blame them for having to use force to resolve the issue.
By the way, Ding Si, have you figured out where the Yellow Bandits' lair is?"
Ye Li asked Ding Si.
"Master, I have already figured out the exact location of the Yellow Bandits' lair. I even took the time to personally investigate nearby. Their defenses are quite tight."
Ding Si said.
Ye Li pondered for a moment and said, "If we only defeat their leader, these bandits below might not change their ways and join some group of fish thieves, or even set up their own new gang.
It's troublesome for us to go back and forth, and their problem can't be solved for a long time."
Hearing Ye Li's words, Ding Si looked puzzled and said, "Master, you don't mean that you want the three of us to kill the entire gang, do you
Even if we have the ability, they won't stand there and let us kill them. They will definitely flee everywhere. It will be difficult to wipe them out with just the three of us."
Ding Si knew that Ye Li was very powerful, but no matter how powerful Ye Li was, he was only one person. It was indeed impossible for him to kill all the bandits in a village.
Ye Li shook his head and said, "No, I don't intend to kill them all. In fact, if possible, I don't want to kill anyone."
Ding Si was stunned when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked, "Master, do you want to subdue them?"
Ye Li smiled and nodded, showing a hint of appreciation and said: "You reacted really quickly, you understood what I meant immediately.
That's right, I just want to subdue them and make them my subordinates.
You also know that after we come here, we have to form our own army.
Although I have already agreed with Rushan that he will send me some soldiers, it is impossible for him to send too many.
After all, I am forming a private army here, and the court is sending troops to serve as my private army. This is against the rules. Rushan does not dare to go too far, otherwise he will definitely be opposed by all the ministers.
In this case, if we want to form a strong legion here, we will have some problems with manpower.
I think that the bandits here are rampant and there are a lot of people. If we can gather them together and train them for a while, and add the soldiers that Rushan sent me, we should be able to form the prototype of a legion. What do you think! ? "
Hearing Ye Li's words, Ding Si's eyes lit up and he said, "Your idea of utilizing waste is great. We don't have to go around looking for ways to recruit soldiers!!!
As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. Master, why don't we try to sneak into the lair of the yellow bandits and capture their leader, so that we can perhaps control all the others."
