After feeding the exiled criminals, she was forced to reveal herself

Chapter 627 Give Him a Bright Future

Not knowing how to answer for a moment, Zhang Dayi could only smile.

Xiong Jiushan didn't feel embarrassed about asking this question, as he had indeed been thinking this in his mind just now.

Zhang Dayi also understood.

Besides, let alone Xiong Jiushan, even he, now nearly fifty years old, would envy the family background of the Xie family.

A century of heritage is truly incomparable.

What's more, the Xie family does have a true god!

Based on this blessing from heaven and earth, it is only normal to say that we are envious.

Who wouldn't envy it?

He was envious too.

Zhang Dayi smiled and said, "Perhaps the ancestors of the Xie family did something great and meritorious in the past, which was why they were able to bless their descendants for hundreds of years."

"Yes." Xiong Jiushan nodded, "The merit of following the dragon?"

Zhang Dayi's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

These words...

How does he answer?

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Hanlin considered his words and said, "The Xie family did have the merit of founding the country. However, those who had the merit of founding the country were not ordinary people. Why did the Xie family receive this honor and have such mysterious protection?"

Xiong Jiushan looked at him.

Zhang Dayi added: "I guess this achievement should be before following the dragon."

"The Xie family was created first, so they had the ability to assist Taizu in his cause. This is why the Xie family has enjoyed a century of glory."

Xiong Jiushan said calmly, "Master Zhang, have you made up your mind now?"

Zhang Dayi smiled and said, "How many chances do we have to fight in life? I have already thought about the future. But Sir Xiong, have you thought about it?"

Xiong Jiushan stared at me for a long time, then slowly said, "As you said, how many chances do we have to fight in this life?"

Although it was not said explicitly, the meaning of the words was self-evident.

At this point, having boarded the "pirate ship", Xiong Jiushan knew that many things were no longer under his control.

The road ahead was unclear, but he looked at the actions of the Xie family members and did not seem to be too worried.

What a strange escort.

The drizzle continued, and the winter was filled with rain and snow, making the road difficult to travel.

Xie Yuchuan and his team were waiting for a long time but they were still not returning. People sent by various families were watching them and the team could not move forward.

The officers who were sent out to "search" Xie Yuchuan and others pretended to be searching by riding horses with a few people around them.

Even though they didn't know where the "fugitives" like Xie Yuchuan who had left the team were, the escorts who were ordered by Xiong Jiushan to look for them knew that the men of the Xie family would not be lost.

At the camp, the only thing left for Xie Yuchuan to do was to return and check before setting off. In Yucheng, Feng Chen, the magistrate of Yucheng, who had just woken up after an hour or two of rest, asked the first thing he asked when he opened his eyes: "Have all the people outside the city returned?"

The yamen head Cao Qi heard the noise and came in to report: "Sir, the people outside the city have not returned yet, but they came back with news that the fugitives have not yet gathered."

Feng Chen stood up and sat up, frowning and asked, "Why, General Xie and the others haven't returned to the team yet?"

Cao Qi took a look outside, came close to Feng Chen, and whispered in a low voice: "General Xie and the others seem to be still in the back mountain ridge."

Feng Chen raised his eyes and asked in confusion: "Are there any remnants of the bandits?"

Cao Qi said, "Sir, have you forgotten? Wan Lichun, the leader of Qinglong Village, has not been seen yet."

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, and Wanlichun too!" Feng Chen remembered.

His expression suddenly froze, his brows furrowed, and he asked Cao Qi, "Where is Wan Lichun?" "My lord, there has been no news so far." Having said this, Cao Qi thought for a moment and still felt that there was something he had to say, "My lord, Wan Lichun's lover has disappeared."

There are now all kinds of rumors and discussions in Yucheng. Several big gentry in the city have gathered secretly, but they couldn't come up with anything. Now the city is full of bigwigs, and it's not their turn to speak.

Originally, assisting the government in arresting bandits was a great achievement. Although they could not get anything on the surface, after the task was accomplished, they could use this small achievement to ask Feng Chen for some practical benefits.

Now it seems that they can’t even eat this little bit of soup given the current situation.

"Feng Chen, this useless guy, was so happy at the beginning. All the hard work was done by us Yucheng people. But at the end, he actually handed over all the benefits to outsiders?! What's going on!"

When several parties meet, they also want to exchange their letters with each other to see if there are any leaks between them, so that they can have a better idea in mind and not offend any party's dragon king temple just for the sake of greed for a little profit.

These are the only contributions, but there are many nobles who came to share the benefits.

When he thought about how everyone had worked so hard but ended up with nothing left, he couldn't help wanting to drag Feng Chen from the county government office to kowtow and apologize.

During the banquet, someone was silent for a long time, stroked his beard, and slowly said:

"I have always thought that the new magistrate of Yucheng is young and inexperienced, and does not understand the ways of the world and the ways of being an official. I never thought that this dog that doesn't like to bark is the one that bites."

Everyone present echoed.

In their eyes, Feng Chen was just a clueless young man who knew nothing.

As for talent, I do have some, but unfortunately I'm too immature.

I don't understand anything.

With this kind of official above them, people feel uncomfortable in every way.

It would be fine if you didn't understand, but you still worry about it.

Their strategy in the past was to tame him and make him their own, no matter what tricks they used, as human beings have seven emotions and six desires, they believed they could not handle it.

Unexpectedly, even though Feng Chen was in a situation where he had no hope of getting help from heaven or earth, he still found a breakthrough and reversed the current situation.

No, it shouldn't be called a reversal.

Just for this one time, Feng Chen acted like a man of no greed, and suddenly he had many more guests of honor. The favors he had accumulated also gave him a lot of help.

If they want to cause trouble for him again, it will not be so easy, considering his ability to please everyone and his prestige in the hearts of the people of Yucheng.

How can its reputation be easily shaken when it is at its peak?

"As far as I know, Feng Chen praised all the people who came to support him, and never mentioned his own achievements. This kid has grown smart and learned a lot now!"

"Everyone, I'm afraid our future life will be difficult."

"No, we can stop the enemy with soldiers and cover the water with earth. Who says there is no way?"

"Oh? Tell me, what should we do in the future?"

A faint laugh.

"Master Feng has such great talent. How can this small temple in Yucheng be a place for the Buddha to stay for long?"

"what do you mean……"

"Since Feng Chen doesn't like us Yucheng people, then we should return the favor and help Master Feng rise to the top and reach a higher level."

For a moment, there was silence at the table.

However, there was a burst of laughter afterwards.

"Yes, yes!"

"This method is very good!"

"Since we can't keep him for ourselves, let's all work hard to give Master Feng a bright future!"
