“You… are so scheming! Even if a vicious and cunning person like you is lucky enough to get into the imperial examination, you will definitely not have a good ending in the future and die with an incomplete bod…”

Ning Ansheng pretended not to hear him. He didn’t have to talk to such a person openly.

Seeing that he was stubborn and Third Brother Ning was about to look for Ning Fengnian again. Ning Fengnian strode forward and punched Third Brother Ning’s chin. “Shut your stinky mouth!”

“Say one more word and I’ll knock out your teeth!”

Little Aunt Ning screamed and was about to pounce into Lei Shaoming’s arms. Lei Shaoming dodged with disdain and swaggered forward to ask, “Aiyo, the Ning Family dares to hit someone in the street in front of so many people and the county magistrate? Won’t we have to see how to punish them?”

The county magistrate was sweating profusely. He felt that he had sinned in his previous life and was assigned to be the county magistrate of Xijiang County in this life. He could not afford to offend either of them! Lord Shen, where are you? Come back quickly. I need you. Xijiang County needs you!

Just as this thought flashed through their minds, everyone heard a smiling voice. “Oh, then I want to ask first. Why would the prisoners who should be imprisoned appear in the execution ground?”

The county magistrate blinked and felt like crying. “Lord Shen!”

Ning Fengnian and his son also cupped their hands. “Lord Shen.”

Although he did not regret hitting his brother just now, Ning Fengnian still heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Lord Shen appear. If he was given another chance, he would still punch him. However, he would naturally avoid punishment if he could. If not, the punishment could be gentler.

Ning Ansheng looked behind Shen Congjun expectantly. Seeing that he did not see the person he wanted to see, he lowered his eyes and stood rooted to the ground.

The county magistrate had a stomach full of bitterness, but now was not the time. He could only try his best to tactfully say a few words about the Lei Family forcefully taking the prisoners out, but that was enough.

Shen Congjun patted his sleeve and said mockingly, “I don’t know when the shopkeeper of a restaurant can make decisions for the government.”

Lei Shaoming clicked his tongue. Why was he pretending? Looking at his tanned and thin appearance, he must have been impeached badly. “Look at what Lord Shen is saying. We just feel that she’s about to die, so at least her family can send her off. The heavens are kind. Is Lord Shen so heartless?”

Shen Congjun did not fall for his tricks. “According to Young Master Lei, if any bandits look for the Lei Family in the future, shouldn’t you be merciful too? You can give them whatever they want and let them kill whoever they want. Before the officials arrest and execute them, you can find their family and friends to send them off. At the same time, you can cry and cause trouble on the streets, forcing the officials to reduce their sentences? You’re so awesome, why don’t you complain to the imperial court?”

Ning Ansheng was surprised to discover that his glib tongue was far inferior to his senior brother’s. He had to practice.

Lei Shaoming’s face turned red. Shopkeeper Lei went forward to avenge his junior. “Shen, don’t be smug. You offended a lot of people with what you did in the capital, right? Are you sure you still want to become enemies with our Lei Family and the Yan Family?”

Shen Congjun replied with his actions. He took out the imperial edict with a whoosh and kicked Lei Shaoming’s knee. “Kneel and listen.” Then, he looked at Shopkeeper Lei, who was a distance away from him, threateningly and raised his foot.

Shopkeeper Lei gritted his teeth, but when he saw the bright yellow imperial edict in Shen Congjun’s hand, he could only kneel down obediently.

The general idea of the imperial edict was to let Shen Congjun return to Xijiang County to be the county magistrate. Currently, the current magistrate would become his deputy to help him deal with the trivial matters of the county office because he had to start handling another big matter—

“Requisition all the idle fields in Xijiang County to plant new rice seeds.”

After reading the imperial edict, he looked at the Lei Family duo in disdain. “It’s fine if it’s others, but you clearly know about the new rice seeds. Why are you like those idiots? Do you think I’m going to suffer?”

The two people from the Lei Family:… Didn’t they get carried away just because His Majesty didn’t react…

Shen Congjun had been idle at home for a long time. He had even lost the title of a county magistrate. They thought…

There were many things to hide in the officialdom. The credit for the new rice seeds was given to the Third Prince, so someone had to bear the Yan Family’s resentment. They thought that Shen Congjun was that unlucky person.

The smart Shen Congjun could tell what they were thinking at a glance. He chuckled. “I’m really sorry to disappoint you.”

“Guards, take down these b*stards who broke into the prison!”

Shopkeeper Lei was furious. “How dare you?!”

Shen Congjun continued to smile. “Why don’t you try?”

The officials rushed forward and pressed everyone from the Lei Family to the ground. This time, neither Shopkeeper Lei nor Lei Shaoming dared to resist because the people who restrained them were the Royal Guards.

The Emperor was very optimistic about the follow-up situation of the new grain seed. This time, he specially gave Shen Congjun an imperial envoy and also supported his combat strength. The person who came was also an acquaintance of the Lei Family—Han Qing.

As the leader of the Royal Guards who came this time, Han Qing was very excited to return home in glory. He even avoided the gazes of the commoners and placed his foot on the back of Lei Shaoming’s hand. “Young Master Lei, long time no see.”

It was clearly a friendly message, but his tone was filled with the coldness of revenge. Lei Shaoming shivered. “H-Han Qing?”

Han Qing raised his eyebrows and exerted strength in his feet. “You called me wrongly. It’s Commander Han.”

Lei Shaoming cried out in pain, “You! You used your position to take revenge!”

Han Qing snorted. “You were clearly disrespectful to the imperial envoy. I’ll teach you the rules. Come, take him away. We’ll interrogate him later.”

Wasn’t he very happy when he chased after him back then? Did he ever think that he would come back for revenge one day?

To be safe, he went to whisper to Shen Congjun first. “Lord Shen, how far can I go?”

Shen Congjun expected better from him. “His Majesty has already made you the leader. What do you think?” The Han Family was loyal and devoted, but their fates were tragically destroyed. His Majesty could let Han Qing be a high-ranking official and give him a generous salary, gold, silver, and jewelry, but he could not return his family to him, so what if Han Qing vented his anger on the lackeys of the Yan Family?

Han Qing blinked. Of course… he would take revenge!

He rubbed his palms together and didn’t forget to greet Ning Fengnian and Ning Ansheng before leaving. The latter greeted Shen Congjun, “Lord Shen.”

“Senior Brother.”

This ‘senior brother’ sounded wonderful. In the past, he was almost the youngest in the sect. Everyone would call him junior brother when they saw him. Now that he had finally been promoted in seniority, he found Ning Ansheng much more pleasing to the eye.

They were all acquaintances to begin with, so he asked, “Is there food at home?”

Ning Fengnian:…

Ning Ansheng:…

The two of them nodded. “As long as you don’t mind, it’s just a matter of adding another set of bowls and chopsticks.”

How could he dislike it? He was about to vomit from eating the few dishes in the palace! There was not a jar of pickled vegetables and side dishes left at home! God knew how much he missed the Ning Family’s food!

Realizing that she was ignored, Little Aunt Ning wiped her tears and cleared her throat.. “Sir, then, then what should we do?”
