At this time, Liuzi had been forced into a corner and lost his composure. "What if I can prove that I ate a bowl of noodles?"

Hu Wan gave a thumbs up and said, "Then you are right. The county magistrate's son is a man of his word. He didn't lie. It was this villain who wronged you!"

Liuzi didn't realize the trap in the language at all. What else could he do after framing you? Kill the person?

He pulled out a knife and stabbed himself in the stomach. "I'll show you how many bowls of noodles I ate!"

As they were about to be gutted, Hu Wan and Wu Zhichong both looked excited.

Suddenly, an iron ball hit Liuzi's wrist, knocking the knife away. Everyone looked to the other side, and Hong Guan came out with Shuangxi and his sister.

As they walked, they clapped their hands. "Not bad, really good. I didn't expect to see this big show right after arriving in Goose City. It really didn't disappoint me."

He walked up to Liu Zi and gave him a big slap on the neck. "Are you sick? Are you going to risk your life to prove something about a bowl of noodles? Can't you see that they are trying to provoke you?"

Liu Zi stiffened his neck and said, "My father's reputation cannot be slandered!"

Hong Guan was so angry that he laughed, "Your father was the county magistrate for a few days, and you think you are so awesome? Have you forgotten who you are?"

Hearing this, Liuzi was startled and remembered that he was not the son of the county magistrate, but a fucking bandit!

He took out a box gun and pointed it at Hu Wan and Wu Zhichong, "You guys are screwing me, I'm going to kill you!"

The two men trembled and were about to resist. The younger brothers beside them also wanted to draw their guns, but were stopped by Hong Guan again.

"Don't do it, you gave me a good show, and I want to give you a good show, too, right, County Magistrate Ma Bangdema?"

At this time, Zhang Muzhi came out with his younger brothers and his master. He took a look at Liuzi and felt a lingering fear. After all, Liuzi was the orphan of his comrade-in-arms!

"Thank you very much, sir. I am Ma Bangde. What is your name?"

Hong Guan looked at Zhang Muzhi with interest, "Are you Ma Bangde?"

"I am Mabond!"

Hong Guan pointed at Uncle Ge and asked, "Who is he?"

"He is Master Tang!"

"Oh? He is Master Tang, and you are Ma Bangde?"

Zhang Muzhi smiled happily, "Yes, he is Master Tang, I am Ma Bangde, what is your name, brother?"

"My name is Hong Guan!"

Zhang Muzhiyi bowed and said, "It turns out to be Marshal Hong. I have heard of you for a long time!"

"You know me?"

"That's a must. If you want to make a living in Sichuan, how can you not know who Marshal Hong is!" After saying that, he looked at Hong Guan and said, "You are Huang Silang's men, don't you know Marshal Hong?"

Hu Wan and Wu Zhichong looked at each other. Neither of them had seen Hong Guan before, and they were a little confused for a moment. "Are you really Marshal Hong?"

Hong Guan laughed and said, "Do you want me to transfer some people over here to bomb Huang Silang's blockhouse and prove it to you?"

Hu Wan waved his hands quickly, "No, no, we haven't seen you before, and we are a little curious."

Hong Guan smiled playfully, "Then be careful and don't be curious about everything. Being too curious can kill you!"

Hu Wan and Wu Zhichong nodded and bowed, "Yes, Marshal Hong is right! I wonder what you are here for?"

"I heard that Mr. Huang in E City has connections everywhere and is the local tyrant of E City. I came here to see him and get to know him."

Hu Wanxiao flattered, "Marshal Hong, you are too polite. Our master must be very happy and honored to meet you!"

"Well, tonight, I will host a banquet at the county magistrate's residence and wait for Mr. Huang to come! County Magistrate Ma, do you have any objection to borrowing your place?"

Zhang Muzhi smiled happily, "No problem, of course no problem, I have long wanted to meet Mr. Huang."

Hu Wan spoke cautiously, "Marshal Hong, the world has been in turmoil recently, and our master rarely leaves home. Why don't we go to the Huang Mansion for dinner? Our master has specially invited many chefs from all over the world, and the food will be absolutely amazing!"

Hong Guan walked up to Hu Wan and Wu Zhichong, patted them on the shoulders and said, "I said that we will have dinner at the county magistrate's residence. I will also give Mr. Huang a favor and cook dinner myself.

Mr. Huang is the local emperor of Echeng, and Magistrate Ma is the parent official of Echeng. Most of the territory in Sichuan and Shu belongs to me. Mr. Huang should not be unwilling to give me face, right?"

Hu Wan and Wu Zhichong endured the pain in their shoulders and looked at Hong Guan with embarrassment, "Marshal Hong, we need to go back and report to our master!"

Hong Guan looked at the two with a fake smile, "Tonight at 6 o'clock, no waiting after the time. I have given enough face to Mr. Huang, and County Magistrate Ma has also given face. I hope Mr. Huang can give me face too!"

Hu Wan and Wu Zhichong were so overwhelmed by Hong Guan's momentum that they broke out in cold sweat. They raised their sleeves to wipe the sweat off their face and said, "Of course, of course. We'll go back and tell our master right away!"

After Hu Wan and Wu Zhichong took their brothers away, the noodle seller fell to the ground and looked at everyone at a loss.

Hong Guan shook his head in his heart. Only in the future flower-growing country can common people be called human beings. No matter in which dynasty, no matter what is written in history books and vernacular novels, the lives of common people may not be as valuable as animals.

"Get up, today's events have nothing to do with you. Go home and have a good rest. Starting tomorrow, Goose City will be a brand new Goose City!"

The noodle seller crawled away tumbling. When Zhang Muzhi heard Hong Guan's words, he looked at him meaningfully.

"Marshal Hong, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. You saved Liuzi's life, so I owe you a favor."

"Haha, County Magistrate Ma, you are too polite. Let's go to your mansion first. I'll see what ingredients you have. We have to entertain Mr. Huang tonight, so we can't neglect him!"

Zhang Muzhi also laughed out loud, and Uncle Ge also smiled. The others were confused, and when they saw the two laughing, they laughed too!

Walking out of the market, Zhang Muzhi saw the tall horses of the three Hongguan people and couldn't help but exclaimed, "What great horses!"

Hong Guan looked at Zhang Muzhi's brother and said, "Your brother is not bad either!"

The two men laughed and returned to the county magistrate's mansion. They asked about the location of the kitchen, and Hong Guan went straight to the kitchen to check the ingredients.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Hong Guan was cooking in the kitchen. Zhang Muzhi stood at the door of the kitchen, smelling the fragrance and salivating. "Marshal Hong, I didn't expect you to be such a good cook."

"Please forgive me, County Magistrate Ma. I am just a chef who cooks out of interest."

"Marshal Hong is too modest. Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. You are a capable person!"

"Mayor Ma, I'm flattered. I just like cooking small dishes. I'm not interested in governing a big country!"

Zhang Muzhi smiled without changing his expression. "Then why did you come to Echeng and invite Huang Silang to dinner?"

Hong Guan stewed the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and took the towel handed over by Shuang Qing to wipe his hands. "Sichuan is my territory. I will not allow someone as powerful as Huang Silang to exist."

Zhang Muzhi applauded, "It seems that Huang Silang is dead?"

"It's not certain whether he will live or not. If he comes and knows what's best for him, he'll have a chance to live. If he doesn't come, or doesn't know what's best for him, I can only let him die!"

"Isn't Marshal Hong afraid?"

Hong Guan turned and looked at Zhang Muzhi. "What are you afraid of?"

"There are hundreds of guards in Huang Silang's tower, all of them carrying guns. The security team of Echeng is also composed of him and the four major families. Isn't he afraid of being outnumbered if he starts fighting?"

"Are you afraid, County Magistrate Ma?"

Zhang Muzhi said calmly, "I'm not afraid!"

"You're not afraid, so why should I be? If they take action, it will give me a chance to wipe them out. Goose City is rotten to the core. Only by uprooting it can it be revitalized!"

Zhang Muzhi applauded again, "Marshal Hong is so courageous and has such a good idea!"

Hong Guan looked at Zhang Muzhi with a half-smile, "I think County Magistrate Ma also has a lot of ideas, but he just hasn't had time to implement them yet."

"I'm waiting for an opportunity!"

Hong Guan shook his head. "Then you won't be able to wait for that opportunity. I'm here. I don't need a chance. I can deal with them!"

"So confident?"

Hong Guan raised his hand and clenched it into a fist. "What did Magistrate Ma see?"

Zhang Muzhi raised his eyebrows. "Two fists as big as sandbags?"

Hong Guan commented, "You could say my fists are bigger than theirs, so they can't beat me!"

Zhang Muzhi couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Marshal Hong is really a wonderful person!"

Hong Guan turned around and walked to the pottery jar, opened it, scooped out a bowl of soup, and handed it to Zhang Muzhi, "Try it, is it delicious?"

Zhang Muzhi took a bite and said, "It's so delicious!"

Hong Guan laughed and said, "It's not cooked yet. If it is cooked, it will be even more delicious!"

Soon it was six o'clock, and a large table that could seat twenty people was placed with famous dishes from all over the world, and everyone sat down.

"Brother Guan, does Huang Silang dare not come?"

Hong Guan laughed and said, "It doesn't matter whether he comes or not. Let's eat first."

The others couldn't wait any longer and started eating immediately, unable to stop.

Shuangxi looked at Hong Guan with some confusion, "Brother Guan, what's so important?"

Hong Guan took a bite of the twice-cooked pork and said, "Whether Huang Silang can survive in Echeng is very important to me. If he survives, I will be unhappy, so I have to make him disappear in Echeng!"

At this time, a voice came from the door, "Master Huang Silang is here!" This little noise was no different from that of the eunuchs in the palace!

"County Magistrate Ma, your servant has something special. Could he have come from the palace?"

Zhang Muzhi shook his head casually, without even raising his head, and continued to show off. In his entire life, he had never eaten anything so delicious!

Huang Silang walked in, wearing a yellow jacket, with a smile on his face. When he saw everyone, he bowed and said, "Sorry, sorry, something happened at home, so I'm late. Please forgive me, Marshal Hong, please don't blame me!"

Hong Guan laughed and said, "Don't blame me. Mr. Huang is the local tyrant of Echeng and he is very busy. How could he blame me? Come and take a seat.

The food I made tasted pretty good and everyone liked it. They thought Mr. Huang wasn't coming and they were hungry, so they ate first. Mr. Huang won't blame us, right?"

Huang Silang still sat down with a smile on his face and picked up his chopsticks. "No, why would I blame you? It just so happens that I'm hungry too, so I want to try Marshal Hong's cooking!"

After finishing the meal, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Marshal Hong, the dishes you cook are absolutely amazing, even better than the ones made by the chef in my mansion!"

Hong Guan laughed and pushed a porcelain bowl in front of him. "Mr. Huang, you are too polite. I'll give you one of these crab meat stews. Try them and see if they suit your taste!"

Huang Silang nodded, opened the lid, smelled the rich aroma, picked up a piece, put it in his mouth, and couldn't help closing his eyes!
