Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 226. The Cuckoo Occupies the Magpie's Nest
"Mr. Weng, what do you think of the barbecue today?"

Feng Xi sat at the top, smiling and asking Weng Wenlou, who was trying his best to use his hands and feet.

"Hmm, um, um."

Weng Wenlou nodded suddenly, but with his mouth full of barbecue, he certainly couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"If it tastes good, eat more, hehe."

Feng Xi just picked up a skewer of meat and ate it as if nothing had happened, occasionally glancing at Weng Wenlou, as if he was back at a banquet where both the host and the guests were having a great time.

However, there was one person who couldn't enjoy it this way, and that was Li Hui, the governor of Jiaozhou. He had been confused since Feng Xi killed Weng Guoqian with a sword just now, and now seeing Feng Xi casually appointing a servant who had never seen the market as the head of the Weng family, he was even more restless and wanted to say something, but since Feng Xi said that he would handle everything, he couldn't say much.

After waiting for half an hour, Weng Wenlou finally devoured all the food in front of him, as well as the cooked meat in the large cauldron, like a wolf and a tiger.

He was originally a little malnourished, and now because he suddenly ate too much, his stomach was bloated and he looked particularly funny.

Feng Xi ignored Weng Wenlou's useless look. He waited until Weng Wenlou patted his stomach and sat down to rest before he continued speaking.

"Did Mr. Weng enjoy his meal?"

"Mm, mmm, happy. I've never eaten anything so delicious."

At this moment, Weng Wenlou felt that it was worth dying for, as he had never eaten anything so delicious.

"As long as Mr. Weng cooperates with us, we can have food like this every day, but it's not something rare either. It's okay to have a meal every now and then."

Feng Xi smiled, but Weng Wenlou was already hesitant. He was forced to do this because he thought it was better to live a miserable life than to die. Now that he had tasted the delicious food, he felt that what he had eaten before was nothing but pig food. He really didn't want to go back to the old days.

"Sir, I wonder what you need me to do?"

After hesitating for a while, Weng Wenlou still asked about his worries. There is no such thing as a free lunch. Although Weng Wenlou didn't know how to express this sentence systematically, he still understood the truth.

"Ah, Mr. Weng, why are you so anxious? Mr. Weng should go home and take care of the housework today. After all, Mr. Weng has just inherited the Weng family, so there must be some restless elements, right?"

Feng Xi was not in a hurry and asked Weng Wenlou to go home first to deal with the follow-up of today's events.

Feng Xi's words made Weng Wenlou hesitate. Although he agreed to the request of the Han general in order to save his life, how could the remaining servants of the Weng family and the relatives of Weng Guoqian recognize him? If he returned, he might be caught on the spot and beaten to death.

"Sir, I..."

Weng Wenlou hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to start, when suddenly a bright idea flashed through his mind.

This Han general killed Mr. Weng like killing a chicken, so what can the cats and dogs of the Weng family do?

"Sir, I beg you to help me deal with the Weng family's affairs."

Weng Wenlou knelt on the ground and begged for help.

From an angle that Weng Wenlou couldn't see, Feng Xi showed a hint of a successful smile. Even if Weng Wenlou didn't say it at the moment, he would find an excuse to do it later.

"Mr. Weng is right. Let's do this. Bao Feng, Bao Yi!" Feng Xi shouted outside, and two big black iron towers appeared in front of the door again.

"Grand Governor."

The two men clasped their fists and saluted, wondering what tricks the commander-in-chief would play next.

"You two will lead 300 brave soldiers and go back to the Weng family with Mr. Weng later. If Mr. Weng says he wants to kill someone from the Weng family, you two will just kill them. Don't ask any more questions and don't let anyone escape. Do you understand?"

Feng Xi gave instructions in front of Weng Wenlou. As loyal and brave generals, although the two men did not know what Feng Xi was going to do, they still obeyed the order.

Soon, the Weng family's ox cart continued on the road, accompanied by three hundred Han soldiers. This scene immediately attracted the attention of passers-by. Everyone was surprised that the Weng family was so close to the Han army.

However, the distance was not too far. After arriving at the Weng family, Bao Feng and Bao Yi immediately ordered the Han soldiers to surround the Weng family's yard, preventing anyone from entering or leaving, even if they wanted to escape by climbing over the wall.

Weng Wenlou strode into the Weng family with his head held high. Although he was still wearing his old tattered clothes, he was already walking in the front. The servants walking behind him naturally knew what was going on and did not dare to disobey Weng Wenlou's wishes.

"Ruan Ergou, what are you doing? Are you trying to rebel?"

The Weng family's chief steward couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw Weng Wenlou's performance. If Master Weng saw this, Ruan Ergou would definitely be beaten to death.

"Tea Steward, have everyone come to the courtyard. I have something important to say. It's very important."

Weng Wenlou had his first taste of power, and couldn't help but act superior, which really frightened the tea steward. In addition, the tea steward saw dozens of Han soldiers following Weng Wenlou, and knew that something must have happened, so he quickly went to the backyard to report the matter.

Soon, everyone in the Weng family came to the yard and saw the arrogant Weng Wenlou with dozens of Han soldiers who were ready for battle. They were confused.

"How dare you act like this, little boy! Where is my father?"

Weng Guoqian's eldest son, Weng Lanyuan, pointed at Weng Wenlou and yelled at him. Although he didn't know Weng Wenlou's name, he was very familiar with him and was sure that he was a servant of his family.

"The Han general said that from now on I am the head of the Weng family. You must listen to me. All the money and food are mine!"

As a servant, Weng Wenlou couldn't say anything encouraging, but everyone could understand what he meant. Weng Lanyuan was so angry that his hands were shaking.

"You bastard, you actually dared to join forces with the Han people to kill my father and seize my family property? Come on, capture him, beat him to death, and throw his body into the street to feed the dogs."

Weng Lanyuan's words did have some effect, and several servants stepped forward and tried to capture Weng Wenlou.

"General, save me!"

Weng Wenlou shouted loudly, hoping that the two Han generals accompanying him could save his life.

"Puff... puff. Gurgle..."

Two strange noises flashed by, and the first two servants who surrounded him had their heads smashed into a pulp, and their headless bodies fell to the ground. The other head flew several meters away in an instant, with a hideous look on his face, as if he had no idea that he was dead.

Everyone immediately looked at the two men behind Weng Wenlou. It was these five burly men who had just killed the two servants who were trying to capture Weng Wenlou with a spear and a halberd.
