The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak
Chapter 1014: Indiscriminate Killing
Master Wan said, "What others want to say is their business. As Lian Xing's sister-in-law, you should weigh your words carefully. Trouble comes from the mouth. You should control your mouth. Lian Xing's situation is no longer the same as before."
Mrs. Wan turned around and left in anger. She didn't want to listen to Mr. Wan's lecture. She was in a hurry to go home and prepare a welcoming banquet for these people.
The first thing Mrs. Wan did when she returned to the Wan Mansion was to look for Wan Lianxing. She wanted to see with her own eyes Wan Lianxing's injuries to see whether his arm was still there when he fell to the ground, and whether he was disabled or not.
So she entered the prefect's mansion and went straight to the largest meeting hall in the mansion. There were many people guarding outside the hall. These people were not only from Wan Lianxing, but most of them were officials from various local governments.
When the guards of the mansion saw Madam Wan coming, they hurried forward and stopped her with an embarrassed look on their faces. One of them said respectfully, "Madam Wan, the Marquis is handling official business. You..."
When Madam Wan heard this, her eyebrows and eyes immediately turned upside down, and she shouted, "What official business is more important than your life? Get out of the way."
The guard was in a very awkward position after hearing Madam Wan's yell. If they didn't let him in, they would be scolded. If they let him in, they would be derelict in their duty. "Madam Wan, please don't make things difficult for a small guard like me. The Marquis and his men are discussing important matters inside. Do not disturb them."
When Madam Wan heard the word "business", she became even more furious. "Humph, the Southern Yan Kingdom has come to our doorstep, everyone knows about it, is there anything more important than this? Get out of the way."
However, the guard still stopped there, looked at Madam Wan with a pleading look on his face, and said, "Madam Wan, please don't embarrass me, I am just following orders, and I really don't dare to disobey orders."
Madam Wan was so angry that she blew her beard and glared, pointing at the guard and said, "Why am I making things difficult for you? I just came in to check on Lian Xing. Get out of the way. If you don't get out of the way, I'll call for help."
Seeing this, the guard also said, "Madam Wan, if you embarrass me again, I will call for help."
"you dare!"
At this moment, Wan Lianxing in the room asked his entourage: "Who is making a noise outside? Drive him out of the prefect's mansion." At this time, Wan Lianxing was overwhelmed by these officials from other places and was feeling annoyed.
With embarrassed expressions, as if facing this sudden scene, they
"Who dares to chase me away?" Madam Wan pushed the door open aggressively. The two guards following closely behind her were helpless and didn't know what to do. They could only explain: "Can't you stop Madam Wan?"
"Oh, sister-in-law." Wan Lianxing's heart tightened, and he quickly stood up and walked towards his sister-in-law. He said with a guilty look on his face: "Lianxing is guilty. I didn't go to greet my sister-in-law first when I came back, and I asked my sister-in-law to come and see me in person. Please forgive me."
Madam Wan scolded, "You still remember to come back?"
Wan Lianxing quickly explained: "Lianxing, my heart is with the people of Fengying and my family, so I dare not go far away."
Madam Wan stared at Wan Lianxing's arm and said with a worried look on her face, "I heard that your arm was injured. Take off your clothes and let me see."
When Wan Lianxing heard this, he was immediately panicked, "Ah? Sister-in-law, you can't do that. Lianxing is here to handle official business, it's not convenient for him to take off his clothes."
"No official business can be as important as your life? Take off your clothes and let me see your wound." Mrs. Wan was firm and would not allow any questioning.
"Sister-in-law, my injury was not serious to begin with, and it has healed now. If you don't believe me, I'll shake my arm for you to see." In order to prevent his sister-in-law from worrying about him, Wan Lianxing raised his arm and turned it back and forth.
Mrs. Wan was convinced that his arm was fine. "Okay, you handle government affairs. I'll go cook for you."
"Sister-in-law, let the servants do it, you don't have to work so hard."
Mrs. Wan said, "Can this servant's cooking taste like mine?"
"Of course it can't compare to the food cooked by my sister-in-law." In front of Madam Wan, Wan Lianxing only spoke nice things.
Madam Wan had just put on a smile when someone spoke up: "Is this Madam Wan?"
Madam Wan glanced at the person who was speaking. His hair was all white and he looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who he was. "Who are you?"
"My name is Chen Gongxiang, and our two families are relatives."
After hearing what he said, Madam Wan suddenly realized, "Oh, the in-laws are coming, why didn't you inform us in advance?"
"I've been here for two days. I heard from the gatekeeper that the Marquis and Cheng Feng were out, so I didn't go into the mansion to disturb them."
"We are a family, why bother? Stay for dinner later. I'll have someone prepare some good wine and food."
"Thank you for your help, in-laws."
Wan Lianxing coughed lightly and whispered, "Sister-in-law, I'm doing something serious. Please don't chat with Chen Gongxiang for now."
Madam Wan glanced at the people in the room and was stunned. She didn't see so many people when she entered the room just now. Her attention was on Wan Lianxing who was in the main seat. Now she saw that almost none of these people were from the mansion. She felt a little embarrassed for a moment, "You guys go and do your business. I'll go and prepare a welcoming banquet for you."
After seeing Madam Wan off, Chen Gongxiang continued to complain, "My Lord, I just want to ask you whether the corvée and taxes of these people have been exempted."
"I've told you several times, it's exempt. As long as I don't say anything, it will be exempted." Wan Lianxing sighed in his heart. He had mentioned this matter no less than five times from outside the gate to inside the hall.
"But this Zou Sanduo sent people to Mochun County and collected taxes from the people with great fanfare. Mochun County may look crowded, but in fact, there aren't many people. They are all people who came from all over the country to build water conservancy projects."
Wan Lianxing didn't expect that in just half a month, Zou Sanduo's people had taken over half of Fengying County. They really had evil ambitions.
Wan Lianxing said: "They have taken a fancy to the people who are repairing the water conservancy in Fengying, and are forcing them to serve in the army."
"That's right. They were targeting the workers who were building the water conservancy project. There were tens of thousands of people working there, and they went there just because they smelled the scent. As soon as they saw me, they gave me a bad look and shamelessly said that they were here to recruit soldiers on the orders of Zou Sanduo. They were so arrogant and their words were totally unacceptable. Their attitude was so tough that it was unquestionable. They rudely asked our people to stop the water conservancy project immediately and ordered all our personnel to rush to Songchun Pass to fight."
Wan Lianxing said: "No one is allowed to go."
"Yes, because Hong Zhekai and I refused to release the people, Zou Sanduo's people were immediately angered. They were very arrogant, and seeing that Hong Zhekai and I had a tough attitude, they directly started to arrest the workers who were repairing the water conservancy project. When the workers resisted and refused to follow them, they simply drew their knives and hacked and killed them indiscriminately. That scene was simply..." Chen Gongxiang couldn't continue talking at this point.
At this time, the room was silent, and everyone was staring at Chen Gongxiang, who had always been stubborn.
