The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 679: In the eyes of outsiders, you are just a fake monk

Chen Gongxiang said: "If the Lord can really solve the water problem in Mochun County, then half of the problem will be solved."

Wan Lianxing said: "Water is the source of all things, so I will naturally help you solve your water problem."

Chen Gongxiang said, "Does the Marquis have any solution?"

"There is no solution at the moment, but don't be afraid. Solutions are all thought of by people. If I can't think of a solution, I will ask someone to find one. In short, there must be a solution." Wan Lianxing's tone was very firm. The sixty-year-old Chen Gongxiang had seen countless people. Even though there were rumors that Wan Lianxing was arrogant and not doing his job properly, he now believed that Wan Lianxing's words were sincere and he was not making excuses.

Chen Gongxiang stood up and bowed to Wan Lianxing, saying, "With these words from the Marquis, we in Mochun County are no longer afraid."

Wan Lianxing said: "Just trust me."

Chen Gongxiang said, "I believe it. Regardless of whether this will succeed or not, at least the Marquis dares to say that none of the previous governors wanted to manage our Mochun County. Only the Marquis has spoken today and it is a promise to Mochun County."

Wan Lianxing said, "You can go back to Mochun County without any worries. I will definitely stay in Mochun County for a few days next month."

Chen Gongxiang said: "Then I will wait for you in Mochun County."

Wan Lianxing said: "It's a deal."

After seeing Chen Gongxiang off, Wan Lianxing breathed a sigh of relief. He said to the people around him, "If anyone comes to see me again, just tell them I'm not here. Let me have some peace and quiet for a few days."

Wan Lianxing's subordinates said, "The county magistrates and county chancellors are all looking for you, and they all want to see you. We have persuaded them to go to Yan Qilian as you wish, but Chen Gongxiang refuses to leave no matter what. We really can't do anything about him."

Wan Lianxing muttered, "Old stubborn guy."

Wan Lianxing stood up and was about to go out for a stroll, but Huang Chenming stopped him and said, "My Lord."

"Ok?"

"Why don't we study how to solve the water problem in Mochun County?"

Wan Lianxing said, "Why rush?"

Huang Chenming said, "My Lord, it's less than half a month away from next month. If you break your promise, the reputation that has just been improved will be ruined again."

Wan Lianxing said, "There are still 30 days left next month. Why are you in such a hurry? I didn't say I would go at the beginning of the month. I may have other things that prevent me from going. How would I know about something that hasn't happened yet? Let's just take it one step at a time."

Huang Chenming said, "My Lord, this is considered cheating."

Wan Lianxing turned his head to look at Huang Chenming and said, "You are very brave to talk to me like this."

Huang Chenming said, "I dare not, but you promised to go to Mochun County with all your heart, and Chen Gongxiang believed you. As soon as he left, you changed your mind. He was asking for the people's help. Is it okay for you to tease him like this?"

Wan Lianxing said: "Not good, but I have no other choice."

Huang Chenming said: "You should go to Mochun County. Besides, you have no other options. You support so many people. If everyone uses their brains, they will definitely be able to solve the problems in Mochun County."

Wan Lianxing said, "I haven't said I won't go yet, why are you so excited?"

Huang Chenming said, "My Lord, I am doing this for your own good. Chen Gongxiang is not an ordinary person. You can't just say a few words to him. If you go too late, Chen Gongxiang will have to travel through mountains and rivers to find you, and you will be in even greater trouble by then."

Wan Lian moved his hand and fanned himself, saying, "Well, this old man can really do it, but I'm not afraid of trouble. The bigger the trouble, the better."

Wan Lianxing walked out leisurely with his long legs, looking fearless and unmoved.

Huang Chenming was so angry that he was speechless, but he still caught up with Wan Lianxing and said, "My Lord, don't you want to come up with a plan?"

Wan Lianxing said: "This matter is not urgent. No one has solved this problem for decades. If I come here and solve it, do you think I am a human being?"

Wan Lianxing changed the subject and said, "I heard you planted flowers in the back garden. Take me to see it."

Huang Chenming could only swallow his anger and say yes, but he couldn't understand why this man could always act superior. Even Sha Guanghan and Wan Lianxing, who held military power, had to suppress him. This man was sent to the sparsely populated Fengying, but why did he still hold his head high and look down on everyone? His personality was also very bad. His moods were unpredictable, and he did things without any trace. It was difficult to guess what was in his mind. No one knew what kind of heart was hidden under his smiling face. It was ok for him to speak harshly, but he also didn't care about his work. Everyone had to urge and beg him to do everything, but in fact, it was all his job.

Huang Chenming sighed inwardly. The rumors about this guy were true. He seemed impatient at ordinary times, but in fact, he was not in a hurry at all when it came to important things. He was calmer and more leisurely than anyone else. Huang Chenming couldn't imagine what these people who followed Wan Lianxing saw in him. Could it be that they were just cheapskates and liked to be criticized by him?

Huang Chenming felt a mass of depressed energy stuck in his chest, which he couldn't get out or go down. Wan Lianxing's casual personality really made Huang Chenming tormented, uncomfortable and unable to breathe.

The Marquis is not in a hurry. Why should he, a little-known person, be in a hurry? However, Huang Chenming is such a person. If he follows someone, he will wholeheartedly help that person solve his problems. Obviously, Wan Lianxing doesn't care about his thoughts at all.

Huang Chenming's heart was in turmoil, and Wan Lianxing could feel it. There was something about Huang Chenming, and Wan Lianxing decided to use him, but it was obvious that Huang Chenming's mind was still undecided. Wan Lianxing smiled secretly in his heart. Now that he was under Wan Lianxing's nose, it would be difficult for him to leave. The person Wan Lianxing liked would have to listen to Wan Lianxing's decision on where to go.

Wan Lianxing walked forward leisurely while saying casually: "Chen Ming, do you still recite the sutras every day?"

Huang Chenming said: "Reciting scriptures is a habit that has been around for many years and it is difficult to change."

Wan Lianxing said: "It's the same for me. I have been doing nothing for a long time. If you ask me to do something serious, I am too lazy to do it."

Huang Chenming thought about it again and again, and finally spoke boldly. He was not afraid of angering Wan Lianxing, and at worst he could just walk away. "So, are you going to do it or not?"

If Wan Lianxing said that he would do nothing in the future, Huang Chenming would immediately turn around and leave the prefectural mansion. What he wanted was to have a good future with the right person. He didn't want to play house with Wan Lianxing here.

Wan Lianxing looked at Huang Chenming and said, "You have been a monk for so many years and now you have returned to secular life, but in the eyes of outsiders, you are just a fake monk."

Huang Chenming asked, "What does the Marquis mean?"

Wan Lianxing said: "Even if I want to do something earth-shattering for the people here, there are conditions. I can't just do whatever everyone tells me to do."

Huang Chenming said: "I don't understand."

Wan Lianxing asked, "Did anyone persuade you to return to secular life?"

Huang Chenming said: "No."

Wan Lianxing said: "Was that forced by others?"

Huang Chenming said, "Not really. I wanted to return to secular life. The time was right. Uncle Wan and Sister Baiqian agreed to help me, so I returned to secular life and left the mountain."
