The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chen Gongxiang was delighted and his face was full of joy. He enthusiastically invited people into the mansion.

Wan Lianxing said, "No hurry, let's ask County Magistrate Chen to count the things we brought to him first."

Chen Gongxiang said: "My Lord, you have condescended to come to my house. It is a great honor for my humble Chen family. What else can you bring?"

Wan Lianxing said: "If I come empty-handed, can you welcome me?"

"My Lord, that's not the case. I would love for you to come."

Wan Lianxing said, "County Magistrate Chen, you are not being honest with me now. You only say nice things."

Chen Gongxiang said: "My Lord, I am not flattering you, but you are magnanimous. You have forgiven us and come to our Mochun County again. This is a blessing for the people of Mochun County."

Wan Lianxing patted him on the shoulder and said, "We are all here to govern Mochun County. We have to do everything we should do. Don't worry, we won't miss a single thing."

"My Lord, you are the most outspoken official I have ever seen. There have been so many governors, but they have always ignored our Mochun County. No one has come to see us in person like you, and no one has dared to speak so boldly like you."

"Hahahaha, I'm not just talking big, I'm also doing real work."

Chen Gongxiang said: "My Lord, I didn't mean to belittle you when I said 'big words'."

Wan Lianxing pointed to a row of carriages parked in front of him, with neatly stacked wooden boxes on them.

Chen Gongxiang was confused for a moment: "My Lord, what did you bring to Old Chen?"

Wan Lianxing said: "It is what you long for day and night."

"What I long for day and night." Chen Gongxiang repeated Wan Lianxing's words, "What I long for day and night is that the Marquis can come and govern our Mochun County."

Wan Lianxing raised his chin and said, "Well, that is the money used to govern your Mochun County. Send someone to deposit it quickly."

"What?" Chen Gongxiang was stunned at first, then he knelt in front of Wan Lianxing, tears streaming down his face, with a look of gratitude, "My Lord, I thank you on behalf of the people of Mochun County."

Wan Lianxing reached out and pulled him up, "Get up, governing Mochun County is our job, there's no need to be so polite."

Before Chen Gongxiang could get over his sudden joy and shock, his silver was coveted by someone. Captain Sha stared at the box on the car with red eyes, "My Lord, how much silver is this?"

Wan Lianxing was not shy at all and stretched out five fingers towards Sha Guanghan with a smile, each finger twitching a few times as if to infuriate him.

"Five hundred thousand taels?" Not only Sha Guanghan was shocked, but Chen Gongxiang, who was still immersed in shock, was stunned when he learned that it was five hundred thousand taels of silver, and he was unable to react for a while.

Wan Lianxing said: "This may not be enough, don't make a fuss."

Sha Guanghan said, "My Lord, you are so rich and yet you still ask me for money. Please lend me some more silver. I don't need 500,000 taels. Just lend me another 50,000 taels."

Wan Lianxing laughed in his heart. The emperor of Dalang was really incompetent. The commander-in-chief in charge of 20,000 troops had to beg him repeatedly for some military pay. Wan Lianxing knew that Sha Guanghan was not obedient to him, but was attracted by the silver in his hands and treated him as a cash cow. Wan Lianxing also successfully used money to control Sha Guanghan and made this man inseparable from his control.

It is said that the prefect and the captain were originally responsible for their own duties and no one could control each other. Sha Guanghan, who was suppressed by Wan Lianxing, lost because his soldiers were not strong and his horses were not strong. His soldiers had always been in a stage of not having enough food but not starving, and he, the captain, had to run around for food and grass. He was the worst treated captain in the entire Dalang Kingdom. If he did not maintain the soldiers in his spare time, the soldiers would become useless straw bags during the war. But it was strange that the emperors of all dynasties over the years never even looked at Fengying, and even the officials of all sizes in Fengying were not treated well. Since then, Fengying, which was not loved by its parents, has become a place of exile for criminals and traitors.

However, it is not so easy to get some money from Wan Lianxing. The shrewd Wan Lianxing has already started to ask him for the money he owes.

"Pay back the thirty thousand taels you owe me first."

"My Lord, if that's the case, I'll take away two boxes of silver."

Upon hearing this, Chen Gongxiang stood in front of the carriage and said, "Captain, this cannot be done. This is the silver that is used to save the people of Mochun County from disaster. Not a cent of this can be touched."

Chen Gongxiang immediately ordered his yamen runners to drive the horse-drawn carriage to deposit the silver into the warehouse. The silver had been sent to their Mochun County, and he absolutely could not let Sha Guanghan rob it.

Wan Lianxing pulled Sha Guanghan and said, "Old Sha, let's talk about our affairs later. Don't worry about Old Chen's money."

Sha Guanghan pinched his chin and said something with a deeper meaning, "My Lord, I haven't seen you give so much money to other counties. My Lord, you don't have any selfish motives in taking care of Mochun County, do you?"

Wan Lianxing was so angry that he laughed, "What selfish motive do I have? Tell me."

"You and Chen Gongxiang are relatives now."

"What's wrong with my in-laws? Why do I treat them differently?"

“Isn’t this discrimination?”

"Think whatever you want. There's no way I can explain it to you." Wan Lianxing strode into the yard, and Sha Guanghan followed closely beside him.

"My Lord, why don't we become relatives?"

Wan Lianxing covered his face with his fan and laughed, "You have a daughter too?"

Sha Guanghan said: "Not having one doesn't mean I can't have one."

"You really don't have a daughter?" Wan Lianxing was thinking that even a man like Sha Guanghan wouldn't be that pretty if he had a daughter.

Sha Guanghan said: "I have two sons at home, and now they can fight with me in battle."

Wan Lianxing said: "It is indeed a hero like Captain Sha who can train a man of integrity to serve the country. Old Sha, you have two sons, which is a blessing. Why are you still thinking about a daughter?"

Sha Guanghan chuckled. His Sha family was a martial family, so having two sons would naturally make him happier than having two daughters.

"My Lord, does your Wan family have a daughter?"

Wan Lianxing tilted his head back and said, "There are very few people in our Wan family. We have only one son for two generations."

Sha Guanghan glanced at Cheng Youning and said, "Your nephew is so young, but he walks steadily and gracefully. He must have started practicing martial arts since he was young."

Wan Lianxing said modestly: "I have been practicing martial arts for less than a year, and I haven't learned any fancy moves."

Sha Guanghan looked back and said, "This child is a good martial artist. He will definitely become a great martial artist in the future. It's a pity that I don't have a girl at home."

"Old Sha, if there is no destiny, don't force it."

Sha Guanghan said, "Well, let's become relatives first."
