The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

After hearing what Hu's wife said, Bajiao cried even harder.

"Why are you crying? I think it's a good thing to come back. You are at the age to get married. Who would you marry if you become a servant? You are wasting your time. Auntie thinks you are stubborn, so it's better for you to get married."

Bajiao couldn't stop crying, and Hu Er's wife tried to comfort him, "Did the steward of the mansion hit you in the face? Come to my house, I'll give you some medicine.

Bajiao cried and said, "No one in the mansion beat me. My mother beat me because she tried to steal the money I had."

"Ah? Sister Li was too harsh. Come to my house to wash your face and apply some medicine to reduce the swelling. I thought you were beaten because you didn't learn the rules."

Basho shook his head desperately, "They are strict, but they don't hit people."

Hu Er's wife said, "What are you going to do now?"

“I can’t stay in this house anymore.”

Hu Er's wife said, "Can it be that serious?"

"It's serious. My mother went crazy when she saw the money. She had a very good plan. She asked me to work as a servant in the Marquis' Mansion to support their whole family. Aunt, they actually used the money from selling me to eat dumplings at home."

"eat dumplings?"

"I cooked so much, how can I not be angry?"

The Hu family is very careful. They have always eaten coarse grains and they dare not even think about eating things like dumplings.

Seeing that Hu Er's family was dressed neatly, Bajiao asked, "Aunt, are you and your family going out?"

Hu Er's wife said: "My son is always thinking about the vegetarian food donated by Lingchen Temple. Your uncle and I plan to take him to Lingchen Temple. If we are lucky, we can meet my Qiao Rong."

Basho said, "Then I won't bother you anymore. You guys can leave as soon as possible."

"Where can you go then?"

"I'll go to the river and take a look."

"Basho, don't let this get you down."

"It's not that bad." Bajiao scratched his head, "Aunt, I'm really confused. I can't stay at home anymore, and I can't go back to the Marquis' Mansion. I don't know what to do."

"Why don't you come with us to Lingchen Temple? The master can give us some pointers."

Basho really had nowhere to go so he agreed: "Okay, I'll go with you guys."

In a blink of an eye, we arrived at Lingchen Temple. Lingchen Temple seemed a bit overcrowded. Usually, there were few people in the temple, but the number of people in Lingchen Temple increased day by day. There were believers everywhere, but there were also some people who came for a vegetarian meal. This meal was not from Lingchen Temple, but from Wanlianxing.

Sometimes doing good deeds may bring trouble to oneself. For example, Wan Lianxing arrived a little late today because he was blocked at his home by Chen Gongxiang from Mochun County.

"Is County Magistrate Chen here for something?"

"I heard that the Marquis donated vegetarian meals and money at Lingchen Temple, so I came to take advantage of it."

Wan Lianxing said with a smile: "Since you are here for the Dharma Assembly, County Magistrate Chen should go directly to Lingchen Temple, which is bustling right now."

Chen Gongxiang said: "I have been working hard for Mochun County for decades. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard. Why does the Marquis treat me like this?"

Wan Lianxing asked, "Why do you say that, County Magistrate Chen? What have I done to you?"

Chen Gongxiang said: "Today I just happened to see the Marquis going out, otherwise I would never have seen the Marquis in my lifetime."

Wan Lianxing said, "Whether you see me or not, what will it change? If you have any problem, you can go to my deputy Yan Qilian. All the big and small matters of Fengying are handled by him. You can also overstep our authority and talk to the emperor directly. Anyway, you can't talk to me."

"My Lord, are you blaming me for filing a complaint with the Emperor?"

"You can continue to sue me and see if you can defeat me."

"You're too crazy."

Wan Lianxing said: "That's because you got to know me too late. I was even crazier in the past."

Chen Gongxiang was choked by Wan Lianxing's words. This was the first time he had seen such a shameless person in his sixty years of life. Was there no one who could subdue Wan Lianxing? Chen Gongxiang stood up and pointed at Wan Lianxing and said, "The water in the mountain stream rises and falls easily, and the hearts of villains change easily. Wan Lianxing, you are not a gentleman."

"Although I'm not a gentleman, I don't deserve the title of villain. There is still a slight difference between me and a villain." Wan Lianxing was so angry that he used his hands to measure how big it was, which really pissed off Chen Gongxiang.

Chen Gongxiang had originally intended to attack him, so he stopped pretending and just wanted to scold Wan Lianxing without caring about the consequences.

"You are such a wicked Wan Lianxing. I didn't expect you to be so arrogant and unreasonable. It's obviously you who didn't go back on your word, but in the end you accused me of usurping the throne. I filed a petition to the emperor because of you. You have the money to hold a ceremony and don't care about our Mochun County. Look at what's happening in Mochun County. The people are suffering and hungry, and you gather people here to burn incense and worship Buddha. Aren't you doing nothing? Then I will write a petition to the emperor every day to complain about you until the emperor punishes you. I don't believe that there is no place for reason in this world."

Wan Lianxing said, "Who bit whom? The failure to govern Mochun County is due to your failure to fulfill your responsibilities, Chen Gongxiang. It is your incompetence, and it has nothing to do with me."

Chen Gongxiang was so angry at Wan Lianxing that his eyes were wide open, his cheeks were puffed, and he pointed at Wan Lianxing with trembling fingers in anguish. It was so infuriating that he was really no match for Wan Lianxing.

"I have devoted myself to the cause of Mochun County for decades, but in the end I get a word from you. Today I will shed blood in your prefecture to seek justice."

Wan Lianxing's eyes lit up, "What a big tone, no one dares to openly provoke me..."

Before Wan Lianxing could finish his harsh words, he saw Chen Gongxiang tilting his head and rushing towards the gate of the prefectural mansion. Fortunately, he was blocked by Suiying and crashed into Suiying. Otherwise, Chen Gongxiang would have been either dead or injured today.

Suiying rubbed his stomach and said unhappily, "You old man, you really don't want to live anymore, right? You're about to break my stomach in half."

Wan Lianxing was so angry that he laughed when he saw this, "I thought you had the ability to massacre my prefectural government, but it turns out you are trying to scare me with suicide." Wan Lianxing just thought that Chen Gongxiang wanted to kill people in his territory, or at worst die with him. He never thought that this man was so angry that he wanted to commit suicide. If he died at his door, not to mention whether the old man died in vain, even if Wan Lianxing had two mouths, he would not be able to explain himself. What was going on? Chen Gongxiang could not tolerate any grievances.

Chen Gongxiang said: "Don't stop me. I can't let you slander me like this at my age."

Wan Lianxing said: "Stubborn old man, you do have some guts, but dying in front of me can't be called a skill."

Chen Gongxiang said, "Wan Lianxing, this is all because of you. You manage every county, but you ignore our Mochun County. What is your intention? I think you are really trying to make things difficult for me, Chen Gongxiang."
