Who's Digging Up My Cabbage Patch, I'll Dig Up Their Ancestral Grave

"Slap... Serves you right for scaring me outside Qingshi Town!"

"Ouch, kid, let go of this official!"

"Slap... Serves you right for looking down on me from up high just now!"

"Ouch... Kid, let go of me!"

"Slap..."

"Ouch... You little thief, let me go, let me go!"

After a long while, Ning Chuan finally avenged himself for how Leng Hanshuang had scared him when they first met.

Ning Chuan sat arrogantly in Leng Hanshuang's former office chair.

"Women need to be disciplined with a good slap!"

"Female superiors need it even more!"

If not for the moral constraints from his previous world, Ning Chuan would have definitely taken advantage of the office for some 'on-site' action.

He would have given Leng Hanshuang a 'good girl' shot while she was still hot, making her completely obedient!

Leng Hanshuang gritted her teeth, poured Ning Chuan a cup of tea, and sat down opposite him.

Her expression was resentful, her hair slightly messy, making her look more like a neighboring sister who had just been properly disciplined.

She said softly:

"Since you've joined the Imperial Guard, you should know who their enemies are, right?"

"Please enlighten me, Lord Leng?"

Ning Chuan put on a subordinate's demeanor and asked humbly.

Leng Hanshuang rolled her eyes at him and continued:

"The Imperial Guard serves the Emperor directly. While they hold immense power, they also have enemies on all sides. The greatest among them is the Han family, the family of County Magistrate Han Zhang!"

"The Han family?" Ning Chuan was puzzled. How could a mere family challenge the Imperial Guard?

Knowing Ning Chuan came from the countryside and lacked experience, Leng Hanshuang patiently explained:

"The Han family is known as 'Three Dukes and Eight Orders, a noble lineage; they rule both the martial world and the imperial court.' Even the Emperor fears them greatly!"

Ning Chuan looked at Leng Hanshuang with confusion, waiting for her to continue.

"The so-called Three Dukes refer to the positions of the Six Ministries' Ministers. Three of them bear the surname Han!

Below the Three Dukes, countless Han family descendants and their proteges hold official positions, forming a vast network of influence!"

"The so-called Eight Orders is a general term. The younger generation of the Han family has produced countless county magistrates, and our county magistrate, Han Zhang, is one of them.

Don't underestimate a county magistrate. All high-ranking officials in the Great Ming Dynasty must have at least three years of experience as a county magistrate!

Once their term is up, with the Han family's influence, they will become major players in the bureaucracy within a few years!"

Ning Chuan sighed. Qingshan County, such a poor place, actually got a crown prince like Han Zhang!

He then heard Leng Hanshuang continue:

"The so-called noble lineage refers to the Han family also being a martial arts family. The Grand Elder of the Protectorate Divine Sect bears the surname Han, and the Divine Sect is almost entirely controlled by the Han family!"

"The phrase 'ruling both the martial world and the imperial court' means the Han family's influence is sky-high. They hold half the power in both the martial world and the imperial court.

And our county magistrate, Han Zhang, is the Han family's crown prince!"

After Leng Hanshuang finished, her expression turned solemn.

"Hiss!"

Ning Chuan gasped.

"This Han family is terrifyingly powerful!"

"Are all the imperial family members of the Great Ming useless? How did they let the Han family grow so strong!"

Leng Hanshuang gritted her teeth.

Ning Chuan's words had successfully killed the conversation.

After a while, Leng Hanshuang spoke again:

"With the Han family's immense power, aren't you worried or scared?"

"Scared? I'm scared of trouble!"

Ning Chuan immediately recalled his experiences since transmigrating: being attacked on Second Dragon Mountain, ambushed in Eagle Sorrow Gorge, his sister-in-law being captured, Ma Dayuan framing him...

This series of misfortunes began after he refused County Magistrate Han Zhang's attempt to recruit him!

Unknowingly, he had become an enemy of a crown prince with such immense power as Han Zhang!

"Damn it, even after joining the system, it's impossible to just lie flat!"

It's easy to imagine that countless troubles will come knocking on my door in the future!"

Currently, I am weak in front of the Han family.

However, with my rocket-like growth speed, This is just a piece of private land, and everything planted in it is Attribute Points!

The stronger the Han family gets, the more enemies there will be, And the more Attribute Points they can provide!

As long as my growth speed is fast enough, the Han family won't be able to do anything to me.

Get stronger, I must get stronger!

As a dignified cheat, how can I be controlled by the mere Han family? Wouldn't that shame the transmigration army!"

A sense of crisis, urgency, and excitement rose in his heart.

Leng Hanshuang had seen Ning Chuan's expression change just now and thought he was scared, a flicker of disappointment flashed through her heart.

Then, as if thinking of something, she relaxed.

"Alas, he's just a country boy, it's normal to be scared!"

But in a moment, Seeing Ning Chuan's excited expression again, there wasn't the slightest sign of him being scared.

Leng Hanshuang thought Ning Chuan was so scared he'd gone crazy.

Ning Chuan didn't know what Leng Hanshuang was thinking and continued to ask:

"My Lord, since the Han family is so powerful, Why would Han Zhang come to a desolate place like Qingshan County to be an official?"

Leng Hanshuang's pretty face turned slightly red, and she seemed a little uncomfortable.

It seemed that Ning Chuan's question made it difficult for her to answer, or perhaps it was because Ning Chuan's words were too crude.

Just then, the door creaked open, Xiao Lian walked in from outside, her face filled with disdain, saying:

"County Magistrate Han Zhang, that scoundrel, is lusting after my young lady's beauty and followed her here!"

Hearing Xiao Lian's words, Ning Chuan felt a little displeased.

"This damned County Magistrate Han Zhang is actually a simp. According to Xiao Lian's words, he hasn't succeeded yet!

No, if anyone is going to 'plow' Lord Leng, it's going to be me.

Who the hell dares to snatch her! I'll dig up his ancestors' graves!"

Thinking this, he quickly got up and bowed, a smile like that of a wolf grandma on his face.

Xiao Lian was clearly straightforward and easily fooled.

"Greetings, Lord Xiao Lian!"

Xiao Lian frowned. For some reason, she really disliked the way Ning Chuan looked at her.

"Damn it, every time this brat looks at me, I feel like I'm naked!"

Xiao Lian gritted her teeth secretly, her pretty face frosty. Ning Chuan, observing her expression, immediately changed the subject and asked:

"Lord Xiao Lian, what is the relationship between Lord Leng and the County Magistrate?"

Ning Chuan asked this question, his eyes fixed on Leng Hanshuang.

"Why are you asking about that?

Are you also thinking of eating swan meat like that scoundrel Han Zhang?"

Xiao Lian looked Ning Chuan up and down with disdain, then looked at Leng Hanshuang.

"Yes, your subordinate does have that intention!"

Ning Chuan's thick skin was beyond ordinary.

Xiao Lian looked Ning Chuan up and down and snorted with dissatisfaction: "Hmph, you? You're not even a toad! I don't mind telling you, My young lady and that scoundrel Han Zhang have a deep hatred, they can't coexist!

You are a confidant personally recruited by my young lady, so don't do anything to betray her!"

Hearing this, Ning Chuan immediately felt the stone in his heart drop, and a sense of relief washed over him.

"Good, my cabbage is safe and sound!"

Ning Chuan quickly puffed out his chest, slapping it with a loud sound, and said heroically:

"Don't worry, Lord Xiao Lian, your subordinate will be loyal to you and Lord Leng until the end, until the end!"

Seeing this, Xiao Lian's opinion of Ning Chuan improved slightly.

A slight smile touched his lips, and his opinion of Ning Chuan improved slightly.

"You brat, at least you're showing some responsibility!"

Beside them, Leng Hanshuang's pretty face darkened as she heard Ning Chuan's words becoming increasingly outrageous.

She coughed lightly, and Ning Chuan and Xiao Lian immediately stopped their conversation, turning to look at Leng Hanshuang.

Seeing that she had captured their attention, Leng Hanshuang's expression gradually turned serious, and she said:

"Ning Chuan, Han Zhang is a petty and vindictive man. If he sets his sights on you, you'll surely be in deep trouble!

The Han family's influence is immense; killing you would be as easy as crushing a tiny ant!

I can protect you for a while, but not forever!

Considering you've helped me a great deal today, I'll give you a large sum of money. Find a place to live under a false name.

With your abilities, you'll have no problem living a life of wealth and comfort. Are you willing?"

Leng Hanshuang finished speaking and stared at Ning Chuan, awaiting his answer.

Xiao Lian also turned her head to look at Ning Chuan, appearing somewhat nervous.

Ning Chuan looked at Leng Hanshuang, then at Xiao Lian, and an inexplicable anger surged within him.

These two girls are looking down on me a bit! I'll show them sooner or later that fortunes can change! Don't bully a young man just because he's poor!

But he had to admit, what Leng Hanshuang said was the truth. If it were anyone else, taking the money and running would indeed be the best course of action.

But I'm a system-powered transmigrator! I'm not bound by the Three Realms or the Five Elements of this world. This path isn't suitable for me!

Ning Chuan's thoughts raced, and he suddenly thought of a possibility. Looking at Leng Hanshuang's smile, it seemed to hold a hidden meaning.

Damn, this girl is too cunning! She's clearly testing me! If you've joined the Imperial Guard, there's no such thing as taking money and running away. If I chose to take the money and flee, I probably wouldn't get a cent and would be scorned!

Ning Chuan pondered in silence.

If I want to make a career in officialdom in the future, I'll at least be a leader! I must cling tightly to Leng Hanshuang's long legs!

His mind made up, he stood up and slowly said:

"Thank you, Lord Leng. This subordinate is willing!"

Leng Hanshuang and Xiao Lian both showed expressions of disappointment.

Then they heard Ning Chuan continue:

"This subordinate is willing to take the money, but I am not willing to run away!"

The two women were stunned. Relief washed over them, and then their eyes lit up.

They couldn't help but become curious, wanting to hear what Ning Chuan had to say!
