I was a conman in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 239 The Great Hero Wang Wenzhou

Chapter 239 The Great Hero Wang Wenzhou

Liu Rushi opened the latest issue of "Hanshan Weekly". The first article was titled "The Great Hero Wang Wenzhou" and written by Zhang Rong.

The recent issues of "Hanshan Weekly" have been praising Wang Wenzhou's heroic spirit, and now Zhang Rong has personally joined in.

Liu Rushi shook her head slightly. This guy was really good at fooling people. She took a sip of tea and lowered her head to read.

"As you all probably know, I am Wang Wenzhou's wife. When I first met Wang Wenzhou, we were not yet married."

When I first saw him, I was really shocked. He weighed over 300 pounds at the time. I'm a petite girl, and to be honest, I felt very wronged marrying such a fat man.

"Pah!" Liu Rushi muttered under her breath. Zhang Rong, you're getting more and more shameless.

"Wang Wenzhou probably noticed my displeasure and insisted on dragging me to buy clothes. I had just arrived in Hanshan and was unfamiliar with everything there. Wang Wenzhou pulled me into the Tingermei Clothing Store."

I was stunned by the dazzling array of clothes in the store. It was the first time I'd ever seen so many beautiful clothes; I'd never seen anything like them before. He bought me so many pretty clothes that day. As we parted, he told me I was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen, and that he would definitely make me happy.

"Shameless!" Liu Rushi scolded softly. Zhang Rong, you've been corrupted by your enemy. Now you don't tell the truth anymore.

"I'm just a weak girl, married to a fat man, how could I possibly be happy? But I had to accept my fate, like a chicken following a chicken or a dog following a dog. After the marriage, our lives were fairly uneventful. Until one day, bad news came: the bandit army had entered Hezhou territory."

Prefect Li of Hezhou sent a letter requesting Wang Wenzhou to provide supplies. Wang Wenzhou agreed without hesitation. He said that Hezhou was facing an attack from bandits, and without supplies, it could not be defended. For the sake of so many people in Hezhou, he would personally lead the delivery of supplies no matter what.

As Wang Wenzhou's wife, I strongly opposed it. A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall, and Wang Wenzhou was the prefect of Hanshan. How could he risk his life? But he was determined, and I could not persuade him. I could only go with him to deliver the grain.

Unexpectedly, we were attacked halfway. Wang Wenzhou remained calm in the face of danger, took the lead, and organized the troops to resist. We fought and retreated. However, the enemy army was too strong, and our army was isolated and without support, trapped in a desperate situation.

I still remember the scene that day. Wang Wenzhou, covered in blood, walked to the sedan chair. He knelt down and said tenderly, "Baby, I'm sorry! I can't keep my vow to grow old with you. As a husband, I've been so unfit. I'm so busy with official duties every day and can't be by your side."

I quickly covered his mouth with my hand; I knew what he was about to say. I hurriedly said, "Wang Wenzhou, I've been married to you for so long, and I'm pregnant with your child. For the sake of the child, let's break through this situation together."

Wang Wenzhou shook his head and said solemnly, "Baby, I'm sorry! I can't abandon my brothers! I can only lead the brothers to fight our way out so you can break through."

Tears streamed down my face as I desperately begged Wang Wenzhou to break through the encirclement with me. But he remained unmoved, for the sake of his brothers.

The moment he saw me off, I saw tears on his face. It was the first time I had ever seen him cry. "A man doesn't easily shed tears, unless he's truly heartbroken." From that moment on, Wang Wenzhou became my hero. Although he couldn't debate with a group of scholars or take the head of a general amidst a thousand troops, he was the greatest hero in my heart.

"Pfft..." Liu Rushi spat out a mouthful of tea, unable to bear it any longer. Zhang Rong, Zhang Rong, did you write this, or did your enemy write it? It's shameless! That cowardly enemy always runs away first whenever a battle starts. How could he possibly stay behind to hold off the enemy army?

Although Liu Ru didn't believe it, the other readers of the *Hanshan Weekly* were convinced. Wang Qingtian was skilled in both literature and martial arts, and his righteousness was unparalleled; only someone like Wang Qingtian could be a true hero!

The circulation of Hanshan Weekly is now very large; for the past two months, each issue has sold over 50 copies. Moreover, Hanshan Weekly has long since expanded beyond Hanshan and can be purchased in major cities such as Beijing and Nanjing.

Wang Wenzhou's father, Wang Xianda, looked at the Hanshan Weekly in his hands with tears in his eyes. Boxin had not only grown up, but had also become a man worthy of respect.

"Cough cough cough..." Wang Xianda suddenly coughed because he was excited.

Madam Yang quickly patted Wang Xianda's back and asked softly, "Master, what are you looking at? Why are you so agitated?"

"Cough cough..." Wang Xianda's eyes reddened as he said excitedly, "Boxin has really grown up. He is indeed worthy of being the heir of my newly established Marquisate."

"Master, you miss Boxin, don't you? I received a letter yesterday saying he will be bringing his grandson to Nanjing in a few days. Don't worry. You're a grandfather now, why are you acting like a child?" Madam Yang said with a smile.

"Ah..." Wang Xianda sighed softly, and said with deep emotion, "To see Boxin become a father is my greatest happiness. I will die without regrets!"

Madam Yang frowned and complained, "Master, what are you saying?"

Wang Xianda smiled slightly, picked up the "Hanshan Weekly" and continued reading.

……

On the Yangtze River, a huge fleet of ships sailed downstream.

Wang Wenzhou stood on the deck, his arm around Sheng Lan and his arm around Gao Guilan, admiring the scenery along the riverbank.

Wang Wenzhou's trip to Nanjing had two main purposes. First, he wanted to inform the Duke of Ying's family of the death. After all, their young lady had died because of him, and he felt obliged to personally offer his condolences.

Wang Wenzhou had another goal: to open the flagship store of Hanshan Supermarket in Nanjing. The Hanshan Supermarket in Nanjing was the first supermarket to open there. More than a thousand supermarket owners from various regions followed Wang Wenzhou to Nanjing.

Wang Wenzhou plans to use the Nanjing supermarket as a training base to train these future business owners.

The reason for choosing Nanjing is that it is the second largest city after Beijing. In addition, Nanjing is also Wang Wenzhou's territory. There are the newly built Earl's Mansion and the Duke of England's Mansion here. In Nanjing, everyone has to give him face.

"Waaaaah..." Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohua's crying came from inside the bed.

Sheng Lan quickly pulled Wang Wenzhou's hand away and said softly, "Zhang Xiaohua is awake. I'll go see her."

After Sheng Lan finished speaking, she hurriedly ran into the cabin.

Wang Wenzhou shook his head with a wry smile. Damn it, ever since Sheng Lan first hugged Zhang Xiaohua, she'd been inseparable from him, carrying him everywhere. Now, if he wanted to have sex with Sheng Lan, he had to consider Zhang Xiaohua's feelings. No wonder fathers and sons are often enemies; a man stealing another man's beloved girl—how could they not be enemies!

"Little Lanlan, shall we have some fun?" Wang Wenzhou said with a smile.

"No way!" Gao Guilan quickly refused, "Uncle, your injury hasn't healed yet. The sisters said that no one is allowed to have sex with you while you are recovering."

Wang Wenzhou pouted in grievance. There were so many beautiful women around him, yet none of them would let him have sex. He was so helpless!
