Chapter 1308: Zhang Cheng

Jiangnan, Zhen family,

In front of the vast mansion gate, the steward had been waiting for a long time.

Getting off the carriage, Zhang Cheng was wearing a python dragon robe, looking handsome.

Watching Zhang Cheng appear, the steward immediately stepped forward and said, "Welcome, Marquis Jia!"

"Where is the Zhen President?"

Looking at the steward in front of him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but inquire, because the Zhen family was truly arrogant enough; the Marquis had arrived, and it was only a steward!

"Marquis Jia, the Master is meeting guests at home!"

Speaking to Zhang Cheng, the steward smiled.

"Alright, let's go in and talk!"

Speaking to the steward in front of him, Zhang Cheng looked at Jia Wei beside him and made a subtle gesture.

Before long, after entering the Zhen family, Zhen Yingjia walked over with a face full of smiles and said, "Hahaha, Brother Jue has finally come today! If you hadn't come, I would have gone to invite you!"

"Greetings, Uncle Zhen!"

Cupping his hands in salute, Zhang Cheng looked at Zhen Yingjia with a "smile," as if the relationship between the two was exceptionally close.

In the main hall, both sides sat down, and the maids served tea and snacks.

Looking at Zhen Yingjia in front of him, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "I heard the steward say that Uncle Zhen was meeting guests? Where are they? Why didn't I see them!"

"Hahaha, just some old relatives from the capital, I've already sent them away!"

Explaining to Zhang Cheng, Zhen Yingjia laughed, "Brother, when you came to Jiangnan, why didn't you come to my Zhen family? Instead, you went to the Lin Mansion?"

Hearing Zhen Yingjia's words, Zhang Cheng said, "I wanted to disturb Uncle, but you are the President of the Tiren Academy, you're busy, aren't you!"

Trading barbs, Zhang Cheng and Zhen Yingjia were both examining each other.

Looking at Zhang Cheng in front of him, Zhen Yingjia clearly felt that this kid wasn't right, because he wasn't like the reckless men from the border army.

And looking at Zhen Yingjia, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes, cursing in his heart.

"By the way, Brother, you haven't seen your younger brother yet! Come, bring Baoyu out!"

Speaking to the person beside him, Zhen Yingjia smiled.

Before long, when a teenager dressed in red and green appeared, Zhang Cheng's mouth twitched.

Because this Zhen Baoyu was the same as Jia Baoyu, both looking like they were lingering among women.

"Hey, this brother is so handsome, have I seen him somewhere before?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in surprise, Zhen Baoyu exclaimed immediately.

Lowering his head with a twitching mouth, Jia Wei wanted to laugh, but held it in, his shoulders twitching.

"No, you haven't!"

Speaking to Zhen Baoyu, Zhang Cheng took a deep breath and said, "Uncle, I'll be direct with you! The Yangzhou matter, it should stop!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with a face full of smiles, Zhen Yingjia's expression turned gloomy after hearing this sentence.

Before long, Zhen Yingjia said, "Baoyu, you go back first, I have something to say to your brother!"

"Okay, Father!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng and Zhen Yingjia with confusion, Zhen Baoyu was finally taken away by the steward.

In the serious atmosphere, Zhang Cheng picked up his teacup and said, "Lin Ruhai cannot be moved!"

"Bang!"

The cup smashed to the ground, Zhen Yingjia said coldly, "Brother, are you here to threaten your uncle? Don't forget, our two families are old relatives. You don't help me, but let Lin Ruhai come to cause trouble; what kind of behavior is this?"

"Precisely because we are old relatives, I am giving Uncle a warning, otherwise the ones coming tonight would be the Bai Lian Sect rebels!"

Looking at Zhen Yingjia with murderous intent, Zhang Cheng placed the teacup on the table. Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Zhen Yingjia was shocked and said, "You dare!"

"What the hell do I not dare? Even Nurhaci didn't dare speak to me like this, and you, a President, what kind of thing are you! The number of people who died in the South China Sea is more than hundreds of thousands!"

Standing up and patting the table, Zhang Cheng pointed at Zhen Yingjia and said, "And you keep talking about old relatives, how did Jia Min die? Tell me!"

Looking at Zhen Yingjia ferociously, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and said, "If you don't stop, I'll start fighting immediately. For the sake of my sister, this Marquis of Loyalty and Valor can do anything. Don't force me to kill!"

Feeling the terrifying pressure, Zhen Yingjia gritted his teeth and said, "Do you really have to go this far? Jia Jue!"

"You are the one forcing me to take action. Don't forget, I came from the military town, we talk about blades being harder than necks!"

Crushing the teacup at the side, Zhang Cheng threw it on the ground.

Hearing Zhang Cheng say this, Zhen Yingjia let out a long breath and said, "I can promise not to touch Lin Ruhai, but what about those salt merchants? Don't forget, they are the Retired Emperor's money bags, and Prince Yizhong won't allow Lin Ruhai to live either!"

"Then kill them all? The Bai Lian Sect causing trouble in Jiangnan hasn't been just for one or two days, what does a few thousand people dying matter!"

Looking at Zhen Yingjia, Zhang Cheng was like a man-eating beast at this moment, his eyes full of killing intent.

He killed so many people in the South China Sea and slaughtered so many cities, wasn't it to ensure Great Qian's status as the Heavenly Kingdom? Now you group of salt merchants also dare to challenge the imperial court, what are you!

He could impersonate the "Bai Lian Sect," but did the salt merchants dare to impersonate government troops?

Even if there were garrison commanders who were bribed, how many people could they pull out?

You have to know, the imperial court's consistent choice for dealing with the Bai Lian Sect is to rather kill the wrong ones than let one go!

In the past, there was Zhao Gao pointing at a deer and calling it a horse; today, I, Jia Jue, can also point at salt and call

Zhang Cheng: I say you are the Bai Lian Sect, so you are the Bai Lian Sect. If you have the ability, lift the coffin lid and come out to talk!

Zhen Yingjia: Can we even play like this?

"I won't meddle in this matter anymore; I know nothing!"

Looking at the murderous Zhang Cheng, Zhen Yingjia understood that he was serious.

Even Wang Ziteng could be "requested for execution" by him in the imperial court; one could imagine what a treacherous ingrate this guy was.

A hundred jin of body weight, ninety-nine jin of rebellious spirit, and the remaining one jin is pure cunning!

"Following Prince Yizhong, the Zhen family will sooner or later end up at the vegetable market execution grounds! You had better look out for yourself!"

Saying this, Zhang Cheng walked outside, but when looking at someone, Zhang Cheng asked, "Are you the damn Steward Ding?"

"That's right, Marquis, it is indeed this humble one!"

Speaking to Zhang Cheng, Steward Ding had not yet reacted when he saw a fist smash into his body.

"Boom!"

His body was sent flying like a cannonball, and Steward Ding smashed into the wall, piercing right through it.

Looking at the collapsed wall and the already lifeless Steward Ding, Zhen Yingjia could not help but stand up, his face full of shock.

"This punch was fast enough and ruthless enough. Is your Zhen family going to use your lives to block it?"

Glancing at Zhen Yingjia, Zhang Cheng rolled up his long robe and walked outside.

Looking at this scene in disbelief, Zhen Yingjia slumped into his chair, for he could no longer see the situation clearly.

Wasn't it agreed that Jia Jue was the Retired Emperor's man? Why was he even beating up old family allies?

Wang Ziteng: Finally, someone understands how I feel, hahahaha!

Zhang Cheng: Your Majesty, this subject requests the execution of Wang Ziteng!

Zhen Yingjia:

After leaving the Zhen family, Zhang Cheng sat in the carriage, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Because he could determine that Jia Min and Lin Ruhai's son were not harmed by the Zhen family, but they had tacitly allowed it.

It was not just the Retired Emperor who was raking in money from the Jiangnan salt administration, but also Prince Yizhong; the Zhen family was his glove!

Lin Ruhai's actions were too grand, cutting off Prince Yizhong's financial path, which was why he ordered the Zhen family to take action!

Through the recent confrontation, Zhang Cheng could not help but frown and say, "The Zhen family is also just a bunch of stupid donkeys. Why would they believe Prince Yizhong could win? It's all bullshit! Is there any difference between them and that big idiot Lady Wang?"
