Chapter 603: Beating a dog depends on its owner

Chapter 603 Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner

Wang Wenzhou waved to the blonde, blue-eyed girl, who quickly walked over with a smile.

Wang Wenzhou asked kindly, "What's your name, young lady?"

"Your Excellency, I am Liu Cuilan!" the girl replied in fluent Cantonese.

"Pfft..." Wang Wenzhou was completely dumbfounded. Damn it, you're still called Gao Cuilan? I haven't been a senior brother for many years.

Wang Wenzhou held her and said with a smile, "Baby, baby, this name doesn't sound good. From now on, you'll be called Daenerys!"

"Thank you for bestowing a name upon me, sir," Daenerys quickly thanked him.

Wang Wenzhou gestured for Daenerys to stand with her back to Liu Wei, and then lifted her skirt.

Liu Wei was completely dumbfounded. "Lord Wang, don't be in such a hurry! I'm still here! If you want to do that, wait until I'm gone!"

Daenerys blushed so much her face turned red to her neck; this Lord Wang truly lived up to his reputation as a lecher.

"Come, come, come!" Wang Wenzhou waved to the Japanese girl again and asked, "From now on, your name will be Yui Aragaki."

Yui Aragaki bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for bestowing this name upon me, sir."

Damn it! Wang Wenzhou shook his head with a wry smile. This girl also spoke fluent Cantonese.

Wang Wenzhou, with a baby in each arm, looked at Liu Wei and asked, "Little Liu, why do all the girls you sent speak Cantonese?"

Liu Wei cupped his hands in greeting and said respectfully, "Sir, please forgive us. We are from Guangdong, and most of us are from Guangdong. Not many of us can speak Mandarin."

Wang Wenzhou hugged Daenerys and kissed her, then said, "Little Liu, since your uncle is being so kind, I'll let you in on a secret. The Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi, Zhang Jingxin, is resentful that the Emperor has entrusted me with the task of annihilating you. He wants to make a big fuss to pat himself on the back."

"Oh?" Liu Wei frowned.

Wang Wenzhou continued, "According to my information, he began yesterday to arrest your relatives and friends on a large scale in Guangdong and Guangxi provinces under the pretext of colluding with pirates."

"Ah!" Liu Wei exclaimed in surprise, "Lord Wang, you must do us justice! We may be pirates, but they are innocent!"

Wang Wenzhou said disdainfully, "Little Liu, the word 'official' has two mouths. Whatever they say you are, that's what you are. Zhang Jingxin is the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi, while I am only the Governor-General of Fujian. He won't listen to my orders. Moreover, he is jealous of me and wants to steal my credit. The more I forbid him from doing something, the more he will do it."

Liu Wei said with a wry smile, "Lord Wang, what should we do? Our close relatives are all on Lamma Island, and although those who remain in Guangdong and Guangxi are all distant relatives, they are still our family. Can't you think of a way to help us?"

Wang Wenzhou pursed his lips and said helplessly, "Xiao Liu, I really can't help you with this. But I do have a way to solve this problem once and for all."

Liu Wei quickly said, "Please give me your guidance, Lord Wang."

Wang Wenzhou said with a smile, "Now, all the fighting troops in Guangdong and Guangxi have been transferred to Fujian. Apart from the soldiers in the garrisons who are just loafing around, there are only some yamen runners left in Guangdong and Guangxi. If you attack Guangdong and Guangxi now, you can definitely take Guangzhou, if nothing else."

Liu Wei was dumbfounded. This Lord Wang was too ruthless! He actually instigated pirates to attack the government.

Wang Wenzhou continued, "Of course, although you are pirates, you cannot indiscriminately kill innocent people after taking Guangzhou. After all, those people are your fellow villagers. But a corrupt official like Zhang Jingxin must not be allowed to live!"

"Pfft..." Liu Wei was completely dumbfounded. He finally understood that Wang Wenzhou was using someone else to kill and eliminate his political enemies.

Liu Wei nodded and said, "Lord Wang, I will go back now and discuss this matter with my uncle."

Wang Wenzhou hugged Daenerys and kissed her, then said with a smile, "Little Liu, hurry back. By the time you get to Lamma Island, news of Zhang Jingxin's evil deeds will probably have reached the island. If Liu Xiang agrees to attack Guangzhou, be sure to send someone to inform me, and I will send a few supervisors over."

"The military supervisor?" Liu Wei frowned and asked in confusion, "What does Lord Wang mean by this?"

Wang Wenzhou said with a smile, "After all, I am an official of the imperial court, and I really can't bear to see innocent people die under your swords. Moreover, the people I send can even help you with the way! Of course, it won't stop you from robbing. As long as you agree to only rob money and not kill, nothing else is a problem."

"Alright!" Liu Wei nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Lord Wang, I will return to Lamma Island immediately to report this to my uncle."

Wang Wenzhou waved his hand and said with a smile, "Go quickly and come back quickly! I'll be waiting for your good news."

……

The next morning, Wang Wenzhou was awakened by the barking of Dog Ye outside the door.

Wang Wenzhou was furious. Last night, while he was bringing glory to the country, these two damned dogs kept barking outside the door. Damn it, in such a romantic moment, the background music, whether it's a sentimental love song or upbeat rock, is fine, but barking dogs are just noise.

Daenerys and Xin Huan finished dressing Wang Wenzhou, who then stormed out of the room in a rage.

"Shen He! You fucking get the hell over here!" Wang Wenzhou roared.

Shen He carefully ran over and knelt down on the ground.

"Slap!" Wang Wenzhou slapped Shen He across the face and asked angrily, "Are you fucking asking for trouble? I'm bringing glory to the country, and you're barking like a dog outside the door. What the hell do you mean by that?"

Shen He lowered his head, not daring to make a sound.

How could Shen He dare to do such a thing? It was all Chen Yuanyuan's fault for forcing him. If it were any other baby, Shen He might not have obeyed; he would have secretly reported it to Wang Wenzhou. But Chen Yuanyuan was different. Because of the two dogs, Shen He was Chen Yuanyuan's man, and she had saved his life several times. He dared not disobey her orders.

"Bang!" Wang Wenzhou kicked Shen He in the face, and Shen He fell to the ground with a thud.

Wang Wenzhou cursed and said, "Are you fucking out of your mind? I'm asking you a question, didn't you hear me?"

When the two dogs saw Wang Wenzhou get angry, they stopped barking and obediently squatted to the side, watching Wang Wenzhou beat Shen He.

"What's wrong? What happened?" At this moment, Chen Yuanyuan and Li Mei strolled over.

Seeing Chen Yuanyuan's mischievous grin, Wang Wenzhou immediately understood that the mastermind behind this was most likely this aunt.

"Slap!" Wang Wenzhou slapped Shen He hard across the face again, cursing, "That damn thing, barking outside with those two dogs for no reason! It's too noisy!"

"Really?" Chen Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at Wang Wenzhou and said sourly, "How come I remember the barking from your dog was louder last night?"

"Pfft..." Wang Wenzhou was on the verge of tears. This little miss could curse without ever using a swear word.

Li Meibao said with a smile, "Husband, don't be angry. Go and have breakfast."
