Chapter 28: Shameless Bastard

  "What a coincidence?" Yang Bo took a deep breath: "Mo Chou, I asked you to investigate the background of An Dongwei's family, what did you find out?

  Xiao Mo sighed and shook his head, as if remembering something. "There are many people with the surname Yao in Andongwei, but I heard that after being punished by Young Master, General Yao ran to the gate of Old Man Yao's house and knelt for an entire afternoon. As for what happened afterwards, outsiders don't know. The eldest son of the Yao family is said to have a good relationship with Commander Wei of the Andongwei Garrison... Hmm, there's another thing. When I invited the neighbors across from the Yao residence to dinner that day, a loafer casually mentioned that the third son of the Yao family was involved in some maritime trade business, but didn't know what specifically."

  "Sea Trade?"

  Yang Bo sank into thought for a moment, seemingly understanding that in this era, those who dared to engage in maritime trade had some connection with the pirates controlling the sea routes; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to set sail. The question was, why did Yao Zong and Zhou Guangbi rush over during the pirate attack?

  "Hey, isn't this horse good? Over thirty taels, huh?" Yang Bo was somewhat angry, as the silver was dwindling rapidly, and Mo Xiu kept bringing back one precious horse after another.

  "Master, it's urgent, I didn't even have time to haggle over the price, and I brought the last good horse over."

  Xiao Mo Xiang knew that Young Master was stingy and said with some embarrassment: "It only cost more than 40 taels"

  Yang Bo's mouth suddenly formed an "O" shape. He had just spent over 40,000 yuan? This bastard thought BMW was not high-end enough, so he got himself a Land Rover...

  "Don't worry about that for now, go and replace the dog first. He can't calm down today's scene, let him stir up the emotions of the military households." Yang Bo ordered with a bleeding heart, if this scoundrel was still in front of him, he might kill someone to vent his anger.

  Xiao Mo nodded and ran away.

  After a while, the big cow ran over again.

  "An adult, a man came down from the boat, shouting that he wanted to see the local hundred households..."

  "Alone?" Yang Bo was puzzled "Just one person? He wants to see me?"

  The big cow nodded and added: "There were indeed many people on the deck, many of whom were holding long knives and whatnot, but only one came down..."

  "Want to see me? Could it be that heroes from all sides have come to pay their respects to me, Yang Bo?" Yang Bo thought for a moment and estimated that it was not very likely.

  "I'll go take a look" Yang Bo decided to personally go and see what's going on

  "Sir, I'll go with you." Han Xiao'er behind him hurriedly said "Sir, don't take risks personally, be careful there are cannons and crossbows on the ship."

  "Don't worry, we'll just take a look from afar, no need to go in." Yang Bo got up, brushed off the mud on his body, and unexpectedly, the scholar also plucked up the courage to follow him.

  "This kid has finally come around......" Yang Bo was very satisfied with Xiucai's recent performance.

  When Yang Bo finally arrived at the beach, there was already a figure standing there waiting.

  What a magnificent fellow! Yang Bo felt infinite emotion in his heart, in this era, someone can still eat so magnificently, probably only these guys who gain without labor...

  This sturdy man is three feet tall, with a waist circumference of also three feet. Due to long-term exposure to the sun, his entire body has a dark bronze-colored skin. His shiny bald head is covered in scars that crisscross each other, making him look extremely ferocious. His eyes are as big as copper bells, and there's an iron ring pierced through his nose, somewhat resembling a cow's muzzle.

  When he saw Yang Bo bring a group of people over, the man became somewhat wary and grasped the ghost-headed knife in his hand, holding it horizontally across his chest.

  Yang Bo wanted to laugh but didn't dare, this guy's whole body of scars was really too terrifying...

  "What brings this strong man to our humble village of Maojiatun?" Yang Bo stood up straight and gave a humble gesture, as if anyone who had been pressed down by a great mountain would always have some shadow in their heart.

  "Are you the official of Maojia Village? Our boss asked me to ask you, this dog official, if you understand the rules of our seaside family?"

  Zhuang Han looked Yang Bo up and down with some curiosity, rubbing his head: "How did that little brat make you out to be so powerful, causing me, Wang Tie Shan, to rush over here thinking I could take you on?"

  Yang Bo's heart skipped a beat, and he smiled all over his face: "Yao Debiao was once my subordinate. Because of peeking at Widow Wang from the same village taking a bath, I was punished by the official, so he harbors resentment in his heart. It's inevitable that he would add fuel to the fire when it comes to Zhuang Shi. As an official who has read extensively, how could I possibly do something as rough and tumble as getting into a fight?"

  "You really won't fight with me?"

  "Unacceptable, absurd, how can it be? I, a low-ranking official, don't have the strength to tie up a chicken, how can I withstand the mighty fist of the great Han? I am willing to admit defeat, willing to admit defeat..." Yang Bo opened his eyes wide and seriously refuted Wang Tieshan's fallacy.

  "What bad luck! Today I ran into a poor and tasteless guy..."

  Wang Tieshan rubbed his head, and made a helpless gesture towards the onlookers on the deck of the ship in the distance. After a while, a burst of laughter was carried over by the wind from afar.

  "Slap"

  The demon's head was thrown to the ground, deeply embedded in the sand.

  "Alright then, since you don't dare to compete with me, kneel down and knock your head three times on the ground. This will let my brothers know the power of Tie Shan..."

  "What conditions does your boss have to agree to leave?" Yang Bo turned his eyes and quickly changed the subject.

  "Huh? Boss said, since you have so many salt ponds in Ma Family Village, there must be plenty of gold and silver." Wang Tieshan raised his palm, which was as thick as a rake, from his shiny forehead to the back of his head.

  "The boss said, 100 taels of gold, 1,000 taels of silver, grain, how much grain was it? 300 stones of grain? And there were also some chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, I don't remember that many, in short, you gather all the village's resources together, it should be enough"

  Wang Tieshan stroked his bald head with one hand, gazing at Yang Bo with a mocking and cruel glint in his eye, as if waiting for his reaction.

  "Actually don't want women?" Yang Bo was really angry: "Your boss actually doesn't want women? Isn't this looking down on our Ma Family Village? Brave warrior, let me tell you, we have a Widow Wang in our Ma Family Village, her body is so white and tender..."

  Yang Bo's people were completely stunned, Wang Widow's body was so white and snowy, how did the adults know? Could it be that the person who peeked at Wang Widow while she was bathing was actually...

  The adults hid themselves very deeply, and a burst of applause erupted behind them.

  The scholar's tears flowed freely, the gentleman loves balls, my way is not lonely? It's hard to find a grown-up who is also a fellow traveler, even the taste is so similar! If there's a chance, I'd like to be in-laws with the grown-up, thinking of Wang's widow's two big pumpkins, when working, one swing and they're on their backs, the scholar suddenly feels a surge of heat rushing up...

  Wang Tieshan seemed a bit embarrassed, he circled his bald head, leaving a few blood marks on his forehead: "Cough, don't want to then don't, rare woman? Anyway, my words have been conveyed, three days later things are ready, we'll come over to take them, otherwise, I'll definitely kill you, not even a chicken or dog will be left in Ma Jia Tun!

  "I dare not, I dare not... Three days later, it will definitely be ready, it will definitely be ready..." Yang Bo was so scared that his face turned white.

  "Now, you this dog official kowtowed to me, I'll be back" Wang Tieshan saw the old man's entrustment was done, and he let out a sigh of relief.

  "Brave warrior, can you knock off two strokes?" Yang Bo started haggling.

  "Hurry up, I still have to go back and drink," Wang Tieshan said somewhat impatiently.

  "Hero, accept my one bow!" Under the gaze of everyone, Yang Bo knelt down straight in front of Wang Tieshan...

  Everyone stared at this scene, a sense of humiliation spreading in their hearts. Huang Ermao gripped his long gun tightly, almost to the point where his fingernails were digging into the stock. Li Dali, who was being held back by Tie Niu, might have already rushed out to fight if he hadn't been restrained. Even Duizi had become inexplicably agitated, pacing back and forth behind the low wall.

  The other soldiers were filled with disappointment and confusion, Yang Bo's passionate words before departure still echoing in their ears. Now seeing Yang Bo's ugly appearance, they finally understood what it means to be shameless and have no face...
