Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 332 Persuasion
"Why does it have nothing to do with me? I saved you, so it has something to do with me." Qu Shaoyang let go of Meng Lanxin and spoke to her kindly.

"The Zhan Dongshan gang is completely devoid of conscience, I will definitely not let them go unpunished.

Please wait for me for a while, so that I can make arrangements. It is a good opportunity for you to rest for a while and get your body back in shape.

Then we can work together to wipe out the entire Zhan Dongshan gang, okay?"

Meng Lanxin rubbed her arm, "Are you telling the truth? Are you not lying to me?"

After just doing this, Meng Lanxin realized that her physical strength was too poor.

Qu Shaoyang was right. Given her current condition, looking for trouble with Zhan Dongshan's gang would be like hitting a rock with an egg.

I’m afraid that if he doesn’t even get touched by the strands of silk, he’ll be dead.

Grandpa is gone, and all the villagers are gone too. Meng Lan doesn’t care about life or death, but she can’t die in vain.

So, when Meng Lanxin heard Qu Shaoyang say that he wanted to work with her to wipe out the Zhan Dongshan gang, she hesitated.

"Why would I lie to you? To tell you the truth, I'm not just doing this for you.

We are cooperating and helping each other, understand?" Qu Shaoyang said with a faint smile.

There was an order from the east to let Qu Shaoyang rectify the phenomenon of illegal logging in the upper reaches of the Songhua River, while bandits were rampant there and monopolized the wood tax.

Therefore, regardless of whether Meng Lanxin is there or not, Qu Shaoyang and those bandits must fight to a conclusion.

Meng Lanxin grew up in Sandaimiaoling and followed her grandfather to hunt in the mountains when she grew up. She is familiar with the terrain there.

Meng Lanxin will definitely be able to play a role in dealing with the Dongshan gang.

Originally, Qu Shaoyang didn't know how to complete the task assigned by his superiors, but after Meng Lanxin's fuss, he had an idea.

I learned from Li Daishi before that among the bandits around Shuangdianzi, Zhan Dongshan is one of the more powerful ones.

If Qu Shaoyang wants to establish a foothold in the area around Shuangdianzi, he must start with Zhan Dongshan. Once he takes down Zhan Dongshan's gang, it will be easy to deal with the other gangs.

Therefore, Qu Shaoyang was not entirely helping Meng Lanxin to get revenge, it could only be considered as a side job, helping each other.

After Qu Shaoyang said this, Meng Lanxin's attitude was not as tough as before.

"Then I will trust you for once. When you decide to take action, tell me."

"Well, okay, you should take good care of your injuries first and talk about it after you recover.

As you are now, you can't help me, but you are a burden."

Qu Shaoyang knew that Meng Lanxin had a strong personality, so he deliberately provoked her.

"Don't worry about it. I will definitely take good care of my injuries." Meng Lanxin rolled her eyes at Qu Shaoyang and snorted.

"Well, I'd better move out.

Isn't there an inn on this side of Maoer Mountain? Or I can find a house to stay in temporarily, so as not to cause trouble to Uncle Chen and Auntie. "Meng Lanxin suddenly said.

"Girl, what's wrong? Is it because I didn't treat you well enough? Why are you leaving?"

Li, who was standing nearby, was stunned when she heard this. Why did they still want to leave after all this talk?
"No, Auntie, you and Uncle Chen are very kind to me and take care of me in every way. I can't thank you enough.

Well, I can move on my own now, and I feel bad about having you serve me all the time.

I thought that if I moved out, I would not have to trouble my aunt." Meng Lanxin said with an embarrassed look on her face.

"Hey, what's the trouble? I'm really looking forward to having more people at home. It's just right to have a companion.

Just live here peacefully and take good care of your health. When you are well, I won’t care where you go.

It’s not a good time to leave now. If you leave now, I will be very angry with you.”

When Li heard this, she was immediately delighted and hurried forward, grabbed Meng Lanxin's hand, and dragged her into the house. "Hongling, Hongshao, is there anyone coming to our house today?"

Qu Shaoyang watched Li and Meng Lanxin enter the house, then turned around and asked the two girls.

"Oh, someone came today. It seemed to be the mother and sister of Deputy Captain Wang from the Patrol Team 3. They came to chat with the old lady for a while, and then left."

Hongling thought about it carefully and realized that someone had indeed been there.

In the more than one year since Qu Shaoyang took office as the Yalu River inspector, the size of the patrol team has continued to expand, from the original three battalions to the current six battalions.

In addition, each village along the river is equipped with a team, and the total number of patrol teams now is about eight or nine hundred people.

The deputy captain of the third team that Hongling mentioned was Wang Jiaxiang’s eldest son, Wang Mulin.

Wang Mulin's sister is Wang Chunxiang, who had fallen in love with Qu Shaoyang and wanted to marry him, but was rejected by Qu Shaoyang.

Wang Chunxiang married the third son of a family on the other side of Badaojiang. The family had many sons, and the third son was not valued, so the couple lived a difficult life.

On the Wang family's side, although Wang Jiaxiang was injured in the fight against the Black Blind Cang and suffered some injuries, both brothers Wang Mulin and Wang Musen are very promising.

One joined the patrol team and became the deputy captain, and the other is now at the gold mine, responsible for leading the team to guard the gold mine.

Both brothers have good futures and earn a lot.

Now that Wang Chunxiang had someone to back her up, she would have to leave her husband and children behind and run back to her parents' home from time to time.

When I came back this time, I happened to hear that Qu Shaoyang brought back a girl from outside and she was living in Chen's house.

Back then, Wang Chunxiang had her eyes on Qu Shaoyang and wanted to marry him wholeheartedly, but it didn't work out.

Now I know that Qu Shaoyang has a wife and brought back a girl from outside. I also heard that the girl is average-looking and looks like a tomboy.

Wang Chunxiang became interested and had to go and see what the girl looked like to see if she could catch up with her.

Zhang was so annoyed by her daughter's pestering that she took her daughter to Chen's house to sit for a while.

Li didn't understand the reason, she just thought it was a neighbor coming to visit, so she just chatted with him.

It just so happened that Meng Lanxin was feeling bored staying in the house, so she came out for a walk and they met each other.

Wang Chunxiang found an opportunity and said some unpleasant words in front of Meng Lanxin.

They said Meng Lanxin was shameless and refused to leave the Chen family, just wanting to rely on Qu Shaoyang and become Qu Shaoyang's mistress.

How could someone as proud as Meng Lanxin bear this?

So as soon as Zhang's mother and daughter left, Meng Lanxin packed up her things and said goodbye.

Hongling was unaware of these past events. She only told Qu Shaoyang what she saw and heard.

When Qu Shaoyang heard this, he immediately understood what was going on and became a little annoyed.

"Okay, you two take good care of Miss Meng. When the Wang family daughter and daughter come again, don't let Miss Meng meet them." Qu Shaoyang gave the two girls a few instructions.

"Yes, sir, I've made note of that." The two little girls quickly responded and went into the house to serve Meng Lanxin.

Qu Shaoyang sighed, turned around, left Chen's house and went back to his own home.

"Eh? Why did you come back at this time today? Is there nothing going on in the government office?"

Chen Xiuyun was at home coaxing her children. When she saw her husband come in, she was quite puzzled.

“Oh, I had something to do, so I came back early. I was too lazy to go back to the government office, so I just went home to accompany you and the child.

What's going on? Are you still making trouble today?"
