The shop’s good business made the people setting up stalls outside envious and jealous, but there was nothing they could do.

After all, the caravan was so big that their scattered food stalls couldn’t satisfy the other party’s needs. In the end, they could only watch with green-eyed envy.

Of course, these food stalls were not completely without business.

There were usually many people who followed the caravan. Since they couldn’t squeeze into the shops, they could only eat outside.

Speaking of which, everyone had earned a lot more money than usual in the past few days.

Li Xiaoran actually received some fake silver as payment.

Because she had seen it often, Li Xiaoran could tell the difference between these counterfeit silver coins and genuine silver at a glance.

Therefore, Li Xiaoran noted down the people who gave these taels of silver and pointed them out to Luo Ziyang.

Luo Ziyang had a photographic memory, so he remembered all the people Li Xiaoran mentioned and secretly investigated their identities.

At this moment, Luo Cheng was not in the shop or in the mountains. Instead, he was at the barren mountain.

Elder Xu only stayed at Luo Cheng’s house for a night before leaving.

It was unknown what had happened in his family, but after Elder Xu’s servant brought the letter, Elder Xu entrusted the matter of settling the disabled soldiers to Luo Cheng and left in a hurry.

Therefore, after breakfast today, Luo Cheng went to check on the situation of the disabled soldiers.

“What exactly is going on?” Luo Cheng frowned and asked angrily.

The men also knew they had done something wrong, so they lowered their heads with apologetic looks on their faces.

Luo Cheng was furious and wished he could chase these people out.

Initially, he only wanted to settle some of his people in the barren mountain, but later on, when Elder Xu sent them over, Luo Cheng didn’t object.

But look at what these people had done here!

“Do you guys know what this is?” Luo Cheng asked, suppressing his anger as he looked down at the men.

“I do. It’s food!” one of them replied.

“Since you know, why did you guys waste food?” Luo Cheng couldn’t help but raise his voice.

One of the men with a broken arm couldn’t help but look up when he heard Luo Cheng’s roar.

“Isn’t it just some food? We didn’t do this on purpose either! Why are you shouting? Are you bullying us for being disabled?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Cheng punched the man who spoke.

The man didn’t expect Luo Cheng to do this and was sent flying by the punch.

Before long, the stubborn man landed on the ground and felt intense pain. At this moment, Luo Cheng looked up and scanned the people around him.

“Whoever has any objections, feel free to step forward now!”

There was silence. No one dared to say anything else.

Luo Cheng retracted his fist as he looked at the people in front of him.

“Back then, the reason I bought this barren mountain was that I thought that you guys were probably struggling. Since I’m more well-off, I wanted to help if I could! But I’m only going to help you guys if you’re worthy of my help! Since you guys are so ungrateful, I don’t welcome you guys anymore!”

Luo Cheng clapped his hands as he spoke.

Soon, ten secret guards appeared beside Luo Cheng.

“Send these people and the one who was sent flying back to Elder Xu! I don’t run a charity. If you don’t want to improve your lives, there’s no need for me to help you guys!”

Luo Cheng didn’t give them a chance to plead for mercy. He asked someone to send them away directly.

After these people left, Luo Cheng looked at the people around him.

“This is your home in the future. I can give you guys stable lives and help you guys earn money to support your families, but all of this is based on the premise that you guys are willing to improve. Today, I will put out the word first. If there’s a next time, if you don’t cherish your food and don’t focus on building your home, but sow discord and scheme against each other instead, I’ll punish you guys. If you don’t believe me, you can try!”

Mang Hankang, who had slept in the same tent as Luo Cheng in the past, saw this scene and grinned.

Those people deserved what they got.

With General Luo’s personality, he couldn’t tolerate any misconduct.

To actually plot things here, they were really too big for their britches!

Seeing that the public example served its effect, Luo Cheng let everyone go to work.

“Ah Zheng, come here!” Luo Cheng shouted.

Kang Zheng nodded and came to Luo Cheng with his walking stick.

“How are you doing here? Are you accustomed to everything?” Luo Cheng asked with concern.

After all, Kang Zheng had been one of his soldiers in the past, so Luo Cheng was naturally concerned.

“I’m fine, General! Although I’m missing a leg, it doesn’t affect me from doing the job!” Kang Zheng grinned.

The burly man had a hearty smile on his face that made him look very honest and trustworthy.

Luo Cheng glanced at Kang Zheng and shook his head. “You’re unwilling to say anything?! Those people bullied you so much, but you didn’t come to me to seek justice for you!”

“This is nothing. They just said a few words out of jealousy. Words can’t hurt me. General, I’m fine. I’m used to it!” Kang Zheng recalled his previous life and said, “Compared to before, I’m already doing very well!”

When Luo Cheng heard Kang Zheng’s words, his heart ached. Then, he thought for a moment and said, “Xiaoran’s shop is still short of people. Why don’t you go to her place?!”

Kang Zheng was naturally willing, but when he thought of what had happened earlier, he shook his head.

“I’d better not. It’s more appropriate for me to stay here. I can even be your spy! ”

“Go. You’re already being ostracized, so how can you be my spy? Go pack your things and follow me later!” Luo Cheng knew Kang Zheng’s good intentions, but he didn’t need him to do so.

Luo Cheng thought for a moment and added, “Don’t worry, I’ll arrange it! It’s not like you don’t know my methods. If these people still don’t know how to cherish what they’ve got, they’ll suffer the consequences!”

“On the other hand, what if you get targeted by them if you stay here?!”

When Kang Zheng heard Luo Cheng’s words, he finally nodded and went back to pack his things.

When Kang Zheng’s roommate saw Kang Zheng packing up, he immediately said enviously, “You’re so lucky. If only I could meet a former boss who wanted to help me!”

Kang Zheng looked at the man who had spoken. He was the only person who had not mocked him in the past tew days.

“My general is very kind.. As long as you do your job well, you will get lucky too!”
