The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 697 Chen Gongxiang comes to the prefectural government to find Wan Lianxing

Huang Chenming reminded Wan Lianxing again, "My Lord, this Chen Gongxiang is not someone you want to mess with."

Wan Lianxing said: "I'm not afraid, let him use his ability if he wants."

Things developed as Huang Chenming had predicted. Wan Lianxing did not keep his promise as agreed with Chen Gongxiang. Chen Gongxiang was furious and scolded Wan Lianxing at home.

"Wan Lianxing, you dare to bully me? Bring me paper and pen."

Chen Gongxiang filed a royal complaint against Wan Lianxing to the emperor. At the same time, Wan Lianxing's memorials to the emperor had been coming in like snowflakes since he arrived at Fengying. Looking at the memorials from Chen Gongxiang on the left and Wan Lianxing's on the right, the emperor's face was drawn.

One of them told Wan Lianxing that "he said but did not do what he said, and was not worthy to stop the governor of Fengying", and the other one asked him for money to build Fengying. Wan Lianxing's heartfelt words seemed as if he really wanted to do something for Fengying. The memorial was written with true feelings, but the meaning was very clear, that is, everything was ready except for money. As long as the court allocated money to Wan Lianxing, Wan Lianxing would be able to bring peace and prosperity to the country and the people in Fengying.

Whether to give the money or not still depends on the opinions of civil and military officials. Obviously, no one agrees to allocate money to Wan Lianxing. There is a precedent. For many years, the prefect of Fengying has not received any money from the court. Wan Lianxing is no exception, so naturally he cannot get any money.

Since the imperial court did not give money, Wan Lianxing had every reason to ignore the water use problem in Mochun County. There was also precedent for this. Mochun County would continue to use water the same way it used to, so things entered a vicious circle.

However, the magistrate of Mochun County was too stubborn. After several attempts, the emperor still did not issue an order to punish Wan Lianxing. He lost his patience and wrote a letter to Wan Lianxing. The letter was long and boring, without a single good word.

"Does the Marquis want to see Chen Gongxiang's letter?"

Wan Lianxing smiled and said, "A letter attacking me must not have any good words, so I'd better not read it."

Huang Chenming said: "Write a reply letter."

"No return."

Huang Chenming said: "If you don't reply this person will come to your house to find you."

Wan Lianxing said, "If I stay behind closed doors, he can report to the emperor that I am not doing anything. Then let him continue to write memorials. I don't believe that the emperor who doesn't give me money will punish me for a county in the end of spring."

"Is this appropriate?"

Wan Lianxing said, "That's right. I'll see what this old man can do."

Huang Chenming said, "What are we waiting for? Is it money or people? You said that your entourage went to Bianjing to invite people, and he came back, but why didn't anyone follow him?"

Wan Lianxing laughed, "Mingming, with your intelligence, you have guessed it. The money has been raised, but the people are still on the way."

Huang Chenming said: "Are you waiting for Hong Zhe to start?"

Wan Lianxing smiled and said, "If not him, who else can we wait for? If the emperor doesn't want money, he has to go."

Huang Chenming said: "Isn't this person dismissed and sent to Fengying?"

Wan Lianxing said: "I don't care whether he comes here by foot or by crawling. As long as he arrives at Fengying, he is mine, Wan Lianxing's."

Huang Chenming said: "Didn't you say you weren't familiar with him?"

Wan Lianxing said: "Familiarity starts from unfamiliarity. Besides, he is an exile, so he has to do whatever he is told to do. It is better for him to follow me than to do hard labor in Mochun County."

Huang Chenming had mixed feelings, he felt like he had walked into a tiger's den.

Wan Lianxing is ruthless and once he sets his eyes on someone, he will use any means necessary to get that person to him.

For example, Hong Zhekai was exiled just because Wan Lianxing lacked a talent who could manage water. This man was not only vicious in words, but also vicious in heart, and his scheming was unfathomable. At this moment, Huang Chenming gave up the idea of ​​leaving Wan Lianxing, because he believed that the divination that was told to him that night was accurate. Leaving Wan Lianxing would be a dead end. Only today did he realize how terrible Wan Lianxing was.

Huang Chenming's words came true. Three days later, Chen Gongxiang arrived at the prefectural residence of Wan Lianxing, because Wan Lianxing had already announced that as long as Chen Gongxiang came, the residence would be closed and visitors would be refused.

Therefore, Chen Gongxiang was turned away at Wanlianhang for several days in a row. He was resentful in his heart and was unforgiving in his words. He could not hear a single word from the people who knocked on the door.

He was the only one who dared to openly block the gate of Wan Lianxing's mansion and curse people. Seeing this, the gatekeeper simply hid back in the courtyard and let him curse alone. Anyway, Wan Lianxing said that when he was tired of cursing, the man would leave.

Chen Gongxiang was stubborn. He kept knocking on the gate of the prefectural government with a wooden stick. The tall wooden door was banged loudly by him. "Wan Lianxing, if you have the guts, come out and argue with me. You are not a hero hiding in there."

"Who are you? Why are you so arrogant and rude?"

Chen Gongxiang looked down and saw a child. Cheng Youning said again, "This is the governor's residence, not a place for you to yell and curse casually."

Chen Gongxiang looked at Cheng Youning and said, "You are Wan Lianxing's son, right?" Since they looked alike, it was no wonder that Chen Gongxiang guessed wrong.

Cheng Youning said: "The Marquis is my little grandfather."

Chen Gongxiang heard this and said, "That's great. I don't believe that if they don't open the door for me, they won't open the door for you either."

Cheng Youning said, "I won't go through the main door."

"Where are you going then?"

Cheng Youning said, "I can go in and out of this mansion just by climbing over the wall."

Chen Gongxiang got even angrier when he heard this, and his face darkened. "As expected of a descendant of Wan Lianxing, a little kid like you can actually speak nonsense. Are all the words of the Wan family used to deceive people?"

It's no wonder that Chen Gongxiang didn't believe it. He couldn't even climb over the high wall of the prefect's mansion. How could this child of a few years old dare to say that he climbed over the wall? Isn't this just a lie? If other children said this, it would be fine, but Chen Gongxiang just couldn't stand anyone who was related to Wan Lianxing. He was annoyed by such a good-looking face.

Cheng Youning's little head turned quickly, "Old man, do you mean that my grandfather cheated you?"

Chen Gongxiang said: "He didn't do what he promised me and lied to me for more than a month. I have lived to this age and have never been teased like this. He is not worthy of being the governor of Fengying."

Cheng Youning said, "Why would my grandfather deceive a sixty-year-old man like you?"

Chen Gongxiang said, "I can't argue with a young boy like you. I want to talk to you face to face and make things clear."

Cheng Youning said, "I have seen you outside the prefect's mansion for a few days. Although I don't know why, I advise you to go back. You will never see the person my grandfather doesn't want to see."

Chen Gongxiang also realized that his bones were hard enough, but Wan Lianxing was even harder to chew.

Chen Gongxiang let go of the anger in his chest and sat down on the ground. "Why did you promise me something you can't do?"
