The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Suiying was in the wrong, but still wanted to explain: "Old housekeeper, there were too many people on the mountain that day. We had to protect the Marquis, and the Marquis had to protect the villagers. In the chaos, the wild boar took advantage of the opportunity. Otherwise, if we had reached out, not to mention one wild boar, even a group of them would not have been able to hurt the Marquis."

The old housekeeper said: "It's useless to say more. It's just that you didn't protect me well enough."

Suiying put down his chopsticks and said, "Why don't you just not eat? You whip me a few times to make me feel better, or I won't feel uncomfortable when I see the marquis's lame leg."

Wan Lianxing grabbed a steamed bun and threw it towards Suiying's mouth, but Suiying reached out and caught it.

Wan Lianxing said: "Eating can't stop you from talking. When did I become lame? My legs are strong."

Suiying took a bite of the steamed bun in his hand and said, "That's also dragging your legs."

Wan Lianxing said: "Impossible, I walked in a coordinated way."

Wan Lianxing thought about his leg bones, which were almost broken. His legs had suffered a lot this year. Was it his destiny to be a cripple sooner or later? With Huang Chenming following him every day, even he, who didn't believe in fate, had to believe in it.

Sui Ming said, "My Lord, I will stay by your side and protect you from now on."

Wan Lianxing couldn't hide the smile in his eyes. He reached out to touch Suiming's head. Suiming lowered his head to let Wan Lianxing touch him, just like he had done countless times in the past.

Huang Chenming was puzzled. Did Wan Lianxing tame people just by touching their heads? Or did this person have a bad habit of touching other people's heads?

Wan Lianxing said with satisfaction: "It's good, but it's a waste of talent. It's enough to have a follower."

Suiying said: "This meal is really inedible."

Wan Lianxing said: "I see you are full. You should learn from Suixing. Look how well Suixing manages his own mouth."

Suiying said, "My Lord, where does my status rank now?"

Wan Lianxing said: "You are all below me. Do you want to ride on my head?"

Suiying said, "I dare not, but Lord, why does the mansion feel so deserted? Where have all the people gone?"

Wan Lianxing said: "Everyone who should be here is here."

Suiying said: "Yes, I feel like there are a lot fewer people. Where did they go?"

Wan Lianxing asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Suiying said: "I'm not looking for anyone, I just feel that this mansion is short of people."

At this time, the old butler counted on his fingers and said, "Miss Zhong is chatting with Madam Wan, Master Wan and his men went to the North City Tower, Young Master Cheng Feng is hiring people to reclaim wasteland, and the followers were sent out by the Marquis." The old butler was the only one in this mansion who could figure out where everyone had gone. He knew everyone's whereabouts and could ensure that he would know everything when the Marquis asked him.

"Where was the follower sent?"

Wan Lianxing: "Bianjing."

When Suiying heard that it was Bian Jing, his eyes lit up: "Why don't you call me?" Suiying made a move to cooperate inside and outside.

Wan Lianxing said, "It's enough for Suiying to go alone."

Suiying said: "With his small body, I think it would be difficult for him to do it."

Wan Lianxing said: "Don't worry, your duty is to protect me."

Huang Chenming didn’t understand what they didn’t say explicitly. As an outsider, he didn’t know how long he would have to work for Wan Lianxing here.

A few days later.

The news spread in Bian Jing.

Hong Zhekai, a fifth-rank official in the Imperial Court who served in the Ministry of Water Resources, was dismissed from his post and exiled to Fengying because he embezzled funds for river and dam construction.

Every year, there are many people who are dismissed from office and exiled. Why is it the doctor of the Ministry of Water Resources this time? Huang Chenming muttered in his heart, "My Lord, hasn't the dam been built for a long time? Why are his old accounts of corruption being brought up now?"

The money might have been spent long ago. Where did this evidence come from?

Wan Lianxing said lightly: "Who asked him to take the silver? If he hadn't taken it, nothing would have happened." It was as if the exile of Hong Zhekai, a fifth-rank doctor of the Water Ministry, had nothing to do with him.

Huang Chenming thought, how come Fengying always has everything it needs? The county of Mochun in Fengying County is worried about the water problem, and now a man who knows water conservancy is sent here. Is this just a coincidence, or is Wan Lianxing just lucky? Huang Chenming asked tentatively, "Are you familiar with the doctor in the water department?"

Wan Lianxing said darkly, "I am already annoyed with him, how can I get close to him? He is a proud man and always looks down on me. I am also annoyed with him. Not to mention that he is ugly, his eyes are on the top of his head. His arrogant look is really annoying. Looking at him for one more time affects my eating."

Huang Chenming asked, "Do you have a feud?"

Wan Lianxing's expression changed and he smiled a little: "Haha, of course there is no grudge. We have served in the same court for many years and have hardly spoken to each other. However, it seems that he has some grudges with Captain Sha."

Wan Lianxing looked at Sha Guanghan. Sha Guanghan was in a bad mood recently. He said in a gruff voice with a don't mess with me face, "What grudge do I have against him? I went to the capital several times to report and we never met. How could I possibly offend him? I don't even know what he looks like."

Wan Lianxing said mysteriously, "Really? That's not quite right."

"What's wrong?"

Wan Lianxing said, "I heard that it was Hong Zhe who first proposed not to allocate money to you."

Sha Guanghan slapped the table and stood up, splashing the tea in the tea bowl beside him. "Is this true?"

Wan Lianxing said: "Do I need to say anything about a demoted fifth-rank official? Am I the kind of person who would kick someone when he's down?" In fact, he was such a person, and what he was doing now was kicking someone when he's down. Without him, Wan Lianxing, the evidence of corruption of Hong Zhekai, a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Water Resources, would not have fallen into the hands of the emperor, and this person would not have been dismissed from office and exiled here.

Sha Guanghan said: "Then was it his suggestion to reduce the number of soldiers I have?"

Wan Lianxing said: "It wasn't him who proposed it, but he also contributed a lot."

Sha Guanghan said viciously: "When he gets to Fengying, I will skin him alive."

Wan Lianxing pretended to be a peacemaker: "I won't stop you from settling scores and venting your anger, but you can't let this man get away. The emperor might have to reinstate him one day, so this man must be capable."

It’s not difficult to deal with the emperor’s repeated changes. He can let you live today and die tomorrow.

Sha Guanghan said, "He'd better come quickly, and see what I will do to him. This grandson, how have I ever offended him?"

Wan Lianxing said with a good-natured look, "Calm down, it's good enough that this guy can come back in three months."

Sha Guanghan gritted his teeth and paced back and forth, feeling the urge to bite and chew Hong Zhekai, the doctor of the Water Department, into pieces.

"Then who proposed to reduce our troops?"

Wan Lianxing said: "You really think I know everything. Regardless of who proposed this, I advise you to quickly follow the order. You can't get away with this perfunctorily."
