The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 779: Recruiting Ge Dongqing Back

“Why can’t ordinary people see it?”

Wan Lianxing smiled and said, "Only the emperor deserves such a great ceremony of kowtow. I am just an ordinary prince, and the common people gather to kowtow to me. This is a zeal to do bad things. If someone with ulterior motives sees it and exaggerates it and reports it to the emperor, wouldn't I be charged with treason and rebellion? I can't do this. I'm still a mature man, and I will die miserably when the time comes."

Wan Lianxing couldn't wait for Cheng Feng and Shang Xi to react, so he turned around and walked towards the gate.

Seeing this, Cheng Feng said to Shang Xi and Huang Chenming: "You two go to the temple. I'll stay at home with my uncle."

Shang Xi nodded and said, "Keep an eye on my uncle and don't let him see anyone. If he is charged with treason, we will all be in trouble."

Cheng Feng said: "I know, don't be too afraid of scaring yourself."

Shang Xi said, "I'm not afraid of things, I'm afraid of Huang Daxian's mouth. Whatever he says comes true, it's very poisonous." Shang Xi looked at Huang Chenming's serious face and said, "Huang Daxian, if you say something to scare me again, I won't leave this door today."

In fact, Huang Chenming had this idea in mind. He suddenly didn’t want to go out anymore.

Shang Xi saw through his thoughts at a glance, and she panicked: "Huang Daxian, don't tell me that you changed your mind and won't go out today. If you scare me like this, I will pack up and run away now."

Huang Chenming said: "My Lord is right. If it is a blessing, it will not be a disaster. If it is a disaster, it cannot be avoided."

Shang Xi said: "Is it a blessing or a curse?"

Huang Chenming said: "You don't need to run around and hide. As the saying goes, good luck will come to you. Let's go to the temple and take a look."

Shang Xi said: "Huang Daxian, I'm doing a good job of guiding you, and we have a good relationship. If you need to escape, please let me know in advance."

Huang Chenming smiled and said, "Let's go, don't scare yourself."

Shang Xi followed Huang Chenming and said, "It was you who scared me."

Huang Chenming smiled and said, "Next time I won't say anything in front of you. I didn't expect you to be so timid."

Shang Xi still said the same thing: "If you are full, the whole family will not be hungry. My son is only five years old. I can't die early and become a short-lived ghost."

Wan Lianxing was not afraid of trouble. After he returned to the house, he lay down on the wooden couch leisurely. A servant fanned him with a fan, and he looked very comfortable.

Cheng Feng found a chair and sat down, "Uncle, do you want to think of a solution?"

Wan Lianxing said, "Why? Are you scared to death?"

Cheng Feng said: "Why aren't you afraid of death? Your grandson is only five years old."

Hearing what Cheng Feng said, Wan Lianxing was delighted. He threw the book in his hand aside and said to Cheng Feng, "Don't worry about things that shouldn't be your concern. You think I'm just a decoration. How can I not accept a group of people bowing to me? Besides, do you think I enjoy their bowing to you?"

Seeing Wan Lianxing fearless again, Cheng Feng asked, "Then why do you close the door and refuse visitors?"

Wan Lianxing said, "I don't want to cause trouble, but that doesn't mean I'm afraid. As the saying goes, if an enemy comes, we will stop him. If water comes, we will block it with earth. If he wants to come, just let him come. I'm not afraid of him. I'm a person who wants to be rich and glorious, but I'm just living in this poor and remote Fengying. Is this a small crime for me? I just want to ask, what mistakes did I make? In the past, I lived under the emperor's control every day in the palace, just like a grandson. Now I'm in Fengying. What can he do to me when the emperor is so far away... Come here, help me up."

"Why are you so excited? What do I want to help you get up for?"

Wan Lianxing said, "Why should I be excited? Am I, your uncle, an impatient person? Help me get up and do my work."

"What's the matter?"

Wan Lianxing said: "The main business is to write a memorial to the emperor and ask him for money."

Cheng Feng had no choice but to help him stand up and began to help Wan Lianxing grind ink and moisten his brush. "Uncle, since you came to this Fengying, how many memorials have you sent to the court? Until now, there has been no response. Are you still writing?"

Wan Lianxing took the pen and said with a smile, "Write until he gets annoyed when he sees my memorials and gets a headache when he thinks of me."

Wan Lianxing was well-educated and good at writing. His inspiration flowed like a spring and he wrote in one go. While he was writing, Cheng Feng was reading. The content was flashy but superficial. The beginning was a long paragraph of flowery and false pretenses, which revealed Wan Lianxing's sincere heart and admiration for the emperor. Only after others came around did Wan Lianxing plead for the people and report the situation here truthfully. He said he was in great pain and in the end he just wanted money.

Seeing the memorial he had written, Wan Lianxing proudly threw his pen aside and said with a smile: "Send the letter to Bianjing in an expedited manner, eight hundred miles away. It must be fast."

Cheng Feng said: "Uncle, is this letter useful?"

Wan Lianxing said, "Let's give it a try. Maybe we can get the silver back." He said to Suiying, "Suiying, send someone to find my follower. He has been out for some time. Let him come back."

Suiying said: "How can I contact him? He appears and disappears mysteriously. Maybe he is not in Dalang Kingdom at this time."

Wan Lianxing thought about it and realized that it was the right thing for him to give his followers a difficult and difficult task. "Then call back my good brother Ge Dongqing. He was like a runaway horse this time. This old horse knows the way and has enough experience. He can easily win people when he goes out to lobby. He will be a capable assistant of mine."

Suiying said: "As long as you don't let me find an attendant, I can find anyone you want."

After receiving the news, Ge Dongqing returned two days later. When he arrived at the gate of Wanlianxing, he was stunned at first. He asked the gatekeeper, "Is there any ceremony going on in the mansion?"

The gatekeeper shook his head listlessly and said, "No."

"What about the incense burning on both sides of the door?"

The gatekeeper sighed, "These are the villagers who came to burn incense. Alas, no matter how hard we try to persuade them, they won't work. As a result, the Marquis has not dared to go out for the past two days."

“Who are you offering the incense for?”

"My Lord!" The gatekeeper sighed again.

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Ge Dongqing briefly checked with the gatekeeper, and then planned to find Wan Lianxing to ask for clarification.

After being away for a few days, Ge Dongqing seemed like a different person. He was full of energy and spirit, and he was obviously much more energetic than before. "I heard that big brother missed me, so I hurried back after receiving the letter."

Wan Lianxing said: "Without my confidant, my brother, by my side, I feel much more boring."

Ge Dongqing asked: "Brother, what's with the incense at the door?"
