The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chen Gongxiang said: "No, these are people who have been exiled over the years. We can't just lock them up in jail and let them eat idle food. Let them build bridges and roads, reclaim land, and serve as soldiers to do some real work."

Sha Guanghan said: "I really can't believe you have so many people at your disposal."

Chen Gongxiang said: "Although the land is mine, things are not as good as you say."

"With so many people helping you to cultivate wasteland, your family must have a thousand acres of fertile land, and you are still not satisfied."

Chen Gongxiang said: "It is useless to have more land if you don't produce food. Besides, all these people were high-ranking officials and relatives of the emperor in the past. Look at them and see which one of them is a working person."

Sha Guanghan strode forward, "They all did their job well, right? If they don't do their job well, let them be whipped. They are all criminals anyway, and no one will come after you if you die."

Chen Gongxiang trotted behind him and said, "Don't say anything careless. I, Chen Gongxiang, have never done anything that is against the will of heaven and earth."

"What's there to explain? No one will hold you accountable even if you die in my hands."

Sha Guanghan shouted, "Hong Zhe is coming."

A group of people on the edge of the crowd looked towards Sha Guanghan. Sha Guanghan said, "It can't be wrong. That group of people is Hong Zhekai's family."

Sha Guanghan walked over and asked, "Which one is Hong Zhekai?"

Although Sha Guanghan was not wearing armor, one could tell from the long sword at his waist and the murderous face that this man had ill intentions. Moreover, there were several people following him, all of them were brave and aggressive.

Hong Zhekai's family members looked at each other, and finally one person stood up and said, "I'm Hong Zhekai, who are you?"

"I'm your grandfather." Sha Guanghan raised his leg and kicked Hong Zhekai, who immediately fell to the ground holding his chest. Then Sha Guanghan punched and kicked him. Hong Zhekai's family also rushed up to block a lot of punches and kicks for Hong Zhekai.

Men, women, old and young cried and begged for mercy from Sha Guanghan. Hong Zhe, who was lying on the ground, said, "How did I offend you when I first came to Fengying?"

Sha Guanghan said: "You have offended me in Bianjing."

"I don't even know who you are, how could I provoke you."

"You've messed up my military pay, and you're still yelling at me." Sha Guanghan raised his leg and kicked him again.

Hong Zhekai fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. This man was very shrewd: "Are you Sha Guanghan, the commander of the Fengying?"

"It is your grandfather. It seems that you are the one who is blocking my military pay. You are a villain and a shameless person."

"I'm not the only one who gave you advice, why do you have to pick a fight with me?"

"You're about to die and you still want to drag a few people down with you."

Sha Guanghan started to beat him up again, but was stopped by Chen Gongxiang. "Captain Sha, if you continue, someone will die."

Sha Guanghan said: "I have shown enough mercy, otherwise I would have killed him with one punch."

Chen Gongxiang pulled him aside and said, "It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge."

Sha Guanghan said: "That's right, he's already here, I'll keep him alive and punish him slowly."

"Yes, yes, Lord Sha, please come back with me. I have asked someone to prepare some light wine. Let's have a few drinks."

Chen Gongxiang finally coaxed Sha Guanghan's people back.

As expected, Chen Gongxiang's home was equipped with wine and food. Sha Guanghan drank wine just like drinking water and gulped down three large bowls of wine to quench his thirst.

"Captain Sha has a good alcohol tolerance. I am afraid I cannot accompany Captain Sha well."

Sha Guanghan put the wine bowl on the table and said, "If you can't even accompany me, then you will be even less able to accompany the Marquis when he comes."

"My Lord, can you drink?"

"He can drink a lot without getting drunk. I might be able to keep him company."

Chen Gongxiang said, "Captain Sha, don't be in a hurry to go back. Stay in my Mochun County for a few days and help me accompany the Marquis."

"If you don't keep me, I can't leave. I have to wait for the Marquis here. I have something to ask him."

"what is the matter?"

"Let's not talk about the money anymore. It's all troublesome. Let's drink."

The two of them finished a glass, and Sha Guanghan said, "Your wine is fine for me, but it's not good enough for that marquis. I suggest you sell some good wine."

"Isn't this wine of mine good? It's all the wine I saved during the Chinese New Year. I usually don't drink it, so I'm waiting to use it to entertain you."

"It's not me who's picky, it's that person who's picky. To be honest, your wine is a little bit bad."

"Then I'll have someone go out and buy some good wine right away, but I don't know if it will be in time."

Sha Guanghan said: "You know, when he came to Fengying from Bianjing, he stopped and started for several months. I thought he would not come. Later I found out that he was just enjoying himself along the way. So you can rest assured that he will not come for five, seven or six days, and he will have to wander around on the road."

"This is something that the Marquis would do, but it's better to come earlier. I'm afraid that if the night goes on, there will be more trouble and this matter will fall through."

"I couldn't come earlier, so I came to drink."

No one could predict what would happen to Wan Lianxing. They speculated that Wan Lianxing would arrive later, but it turned out that he arrived in Mochun County two days later, only two days later than Sha Guanghan.

"Oh! The Marquis is here. I hope I am seeing things." Chen Gongxiang hurried forward to greet him.

Wan Lianxing smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, I am sorry that I am late."

Chen Gongxiang said, "You came just in time, just in time." As long as Wan Lianxing could come, he would not dwell on the past any more. As an old man in his sixties, he had already understood life very well. He had to say something nice. On the one hand, he was still waiting for Wan Lianxing to give him money and help him govern Mochun County. On the other hand, he and Wan Lianxing now had an additional relationship as relatives.

"Captain Sha is here too."

"I am waiting for you here, my Lord."

Wan Lianxing said: "I won't settle the score with you, you just wait here for me to come."

"My Lord, I, Lao Sha, had no choice."

Wan Lianxing said: "We'll talk about our affairs later."

Chen Gongxiang led everyone inside, "My Lord, please come in and talk inside."

"Okay."

"My Lord, who are these two behind?"

Wan Lianxing said, "County Magistrate Chen, I didn't inform you in advance that I am not here alone this time. I am here with my family. This is my nephew Cheng Feng, this is his wife Shang Xi, and the one behind is my great-nephew Cheng Youning."

There were too many carriages and horses in Wan Lianxing's group, and Chen Gongxiang didn't see all of them at once. He didn't recognize the others, but he recognized Cheng Youning.

"So it's my in-laws who are here. I'm sorry for not welcoming them from afar. I'm sorry for that."

As the few people were chatting, Sha Guanghan suddenly asked, "When did your two families become relatives?"

"We became relatives in the first month of the lunar year." Chen Gongxiang hoped that everyone in the world would know that he and the Wan family had become relatives. This would only benefit him and not harm him, because it was the Chen family that married into the Wan family. Although they were only relatives verbally, it still counted. It was just that outsiders didn't know about this good thing yet.
