Chapter 1316: My rules are the rules!

Yue Man Pavilion, luxurious room,

Sun Shaozu, who had looked up, stared at Zhang Cheng in disbelief, his eyes filled with astonishment.

Because hadn't they been chatting quite well a second ago? But why did he want his life the next second?

"Marquis, I don't understand what you mean!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng gloomily, Sun Shaozu immediately prepared to stand up.

But before he could rise, Jia Wei behind him kicked him, though it only caused Sun Shaozu to tilt his body slightly.

Seeing that they couldn't take Sun Shaozu down, Jia Wei immediately pressed his hand to his waist.

Watching Jia Wei's demeanor, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes and say, "Brother Wei, you've gone soft!"

"Uncle, I!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng awkwardly, Jia Wei didn't know what to say to explain.

"Hmph!"

Rising like a brown bear, Sun Shaozu said with a face full of anger, "Does the Marquis of Zhongwu really want to kill me here! Do you think I, Sun Shaozu, am easy to bully!"

"Pfft!"

Unable to hold back a laugh while looking at Sun Shaozu, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and said, "If I want to kill you, let alone here, even if it were in front of His Majesty, I would dare to take your life!"

Suddenly hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Sun Shaozu immediately turned and rushed toward the door, because he could see it now: Zhang Cheng really intended to kill him!

However, before Sun Shaozu could crash through the door, a large hand grabbed his neck and slammed him onto the ground with a backhand motion.

"Boom!"

Under the violent shock, Sun Shaozu felt as if his entire body was about to shatter.

"Our business isn't finished yet, brother-in-law, where are you going?"

Pressing Sun Shaozu to the ground, Zhang Cheng grabbed his hair and lifted his head, saying, "You wouldn't think that if I wanted to kill you, you could still escape, would you? You really think of yourself as Daishan!"

Daishan: That year in Liaodong, hands in my pockets, I was beaten until I didn't dare to fight back!

"Marquis of Zhongwu, spare my life, Marquis of Zhongwu, spare my life. This official was momentarily blinded by greed, which is why I came to provoke you, spare me!"

After being pressed to the ground by Zhang Cheng, Sun Shaozu finally understood: it turned out that the Retired Emperor calling Jia Jue "Jia the Invincible of Liaodong" wasn't a joke; the man could truly crush him to death!

"We are family, I'm just borrowing your life, why won't you give it to me? Ah! Look at me, why won't you give it to this Marquis!"

Looking at Sun Shaozu with cold eyes, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but scold.

And hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Sun Shaozu really wanted to ask: are you crazy? You don't want to hear what you are saying, borrowing my life!

Looking at Zhang Cheng's ruthless expression, Sun Shaozu roared, "Jia Jue, I am a Thousand-Household Officer of the Datong court, if you kill me, how will you answer to the court! Where do you put the rules of the court!"

"My rules are the rules. You little punk, who gave you the guts to come and provoke the Jia family?"

Smashing a fist into Sun Shaozu's face with a backhand motion, Zhang Cheng beat him until his face was covered in blood, saying, "The Rongguo Mansion may be failing, but don't you forget, my Ningguo Mansion is still here! I, Jia Jue, am not someone to be trifled with either!"

Looking at Sun Shaozu's state, Zhang Cheng pulled out the jade belt from his waist and wrapped it directly around Sun Shaozu's neck, his hands constantly exerting force.

"Urgh..."

Grabbing the jade belt frantically, Sun Shaozu's entire person couldn't help but look ferocious.

However, as Zhang Cheng continued to exert force, Sun Shaozu finally tilted his neck and collapsed to the ground.

Standing up, Zhang Cheng wrapped the jade belt back around his waist and said, "Trash, what do you think is talked about in the imperial court? It's about power, it's about background. Behind me is the Liaodong military garrison, and you dare to play with me!"

Looking at Sun Shaozu with disdain, Zhang Cheng turned his head and said, "Drag him to the garden and bury him!"

"Yes, Uncle!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Jia Wei immediately called the Krieg soldiers outside.

And just after Sun Shaozu was dragged out, Zhang Cheng looked at Jia Wei and said, "Brother Wei, your frame is not up to the task; you just got married, how can you be so weak!"

"Uncle, I!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Jia Wei just wanted to say something, but was stopped by a raised hand.

"I have two jars of tiger bone wine in my room, I'll have them sent to you later!"

Looking at Jia Wei, Zhang Cheng spoke up.

"Wei thanks Uncle!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng excitedly, Jia Wei immediately revealed a happy smile. At the Ningguo Mansion, during the family banquet,

Looking at the delicacies served, Lin Daiyu looked at Zhang Cheng curiously and said, "Brother, does Second Sister really not have to be married off?"

"No need, because Sun Shaozu is gone, who would she marry!"

Looking at Lin Daiyu with a face full of smiles, Zhang Cheng smiled.

"Sun Shaozu is gone?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in confusion, Lin Daiyu's face was filled with shock.

But before Lin Daiyu could react, Jia Wei, who had run over from afar, whispered something in Zhang Cheng's ear.

"Brother Wei, what are you doing? Why aren't you even eating!"

Looking at Jia Wei, Jia Liu Shi spoke up hurriedly.

"Grandmother, Uncle and I have business, so we won't eat for now!"

Speaking to Jia Liu Shi and his mother Jia Wu Shi, Jia Wei laughed and said, "Aunt, eat more!"

Hearing Jia Wei's words, Lin Daiyu immediately acted like a little adult and said, "I understand, Brother Wei!"

"Mother, Brother-in-law, we have business, so we will take our leave first!"

After standing up, Zhang Cheng looked at Qin Keqing, telling her to take good care of the household, and then left with a face full of smiles.

In front of the mansion gate, Zhang Cheng looked at the person not far away and said, "Jiao Da!"

"Coming, Master!"

At a table, Jiao Da was tearing at a roast duck and drinking wine, with various delicacies from the main table laid out before him.

"Is something the matter, Master?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Jiao Da couldn't help but feel curious.

"I will be leaving the capital for a few days, you must keep a good watch on the household, understand?"

Speaking to Jiao Da, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but turn serious.

And hearing the meaning behind Zhang Cheng's words, Jiao Da nodded immediately and said, "You can rest assured, Master, Jiao Da understands what to do!"

"If anyone in the mansion doesn't listen, don't ask about the consequences, just beat them to death!"

Looking at Jiao Da seriously, Zhang Cheng was earnest.

"Yes, Master!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng say this, Jiao Da also understood that there might be more trouble in the capital recently!

Emerging from the Ningguo Mansion, Zhang Cheng rode his horse and hurried outward.

Before long, upon arriving at a grove, Zhang Cheng saw the person tied to a tree.

Stepping forward, Zhang Cheng took the letter handed over by the Krieg soldier, his eyes filled with a gloomy expression.

Because the message written on it was to have the Datong border army enter the capital.

With gloomy eyes flashing, Zhang Cheng burned the letter and then said to those beside him, "Kill them all!"

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

Screaming in terror, Jia Lian, whose face was full of fear, had his eyes covered and became terrified immediately.

Stepping forward to pull off the other party's blindfold, Zhang Cheng squatted down with a cold face and said, "Do you still recognize me?"

"Brother Jue, why is it you? Wasn't I kidnapped by bandits?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in surprise, Jia Lian was astonished.

But in the next second, Jia Lian saw the Krieg soldiers in armor beside Zhang Cheng, and his entire person froze.

Because the kidnappers who had tied him up seemed to be Zhang Cheng's men!

"Slap!"

Smacking Jia Lian in the face with a backhand motion, Zhang Cheng scolded fiercely, "Do you have any idea what you are doing? If this letter is sent out, the entire Rongguo Mansion will die!"

"Ah! How is this possible? Father..."

Looking at Zhang Cheng in disbelief, Jia Lian was stunned upon hearing this.

"From now on, you will act as if the letter has been sent out, roll back to the capital, and keep an eye on Jia She for me. If he has anything suspicious, notify Jiao Da immediately, understand?"

Staring at Jia Lian, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but scold.
