Chapter 15

A few days later, Kaifeng Prefecture.

Inside the yamen.

Watching Gongsun Ce, who was becoming more and more depressed, Bao Zheng couldn't help but ask, "Mr. has been a bit restless lately!"

"Don't blame me, Prime Minister, I have some things I haven't figured out yet!"

Hearing Bao Zheng's words, Gongsun Ce hurriedly told the story of the official shop.

And after listening to Gongsun Ce's words, even Bao Zheng was shocked and said, "What, you knew that the official shop in the prison was wrong, and you still fought against him!"

Looking at Gongsun Ce in surprise, Bao Zheng felt that Zhan Zhao had been acting strangely lately; so it turned out that the Juque sword was gone!

"Prime Minister, this matter is all my fault. Originally, I wanted to suppress this person's arrogance, but I didn't expect that one misstep would lead to eternal regret!"

Hearing Bao Zheng's words, Gongsun Ce also felt a bit ashamed.

"What about the betel nut and cigarettes?"

Looking at Gongsun Ce, Bao Zheng also wanted to try the feeling of betel nut plus cigarette.

"Guard Zhan has already gone to get them! Recently, the two of us have consumed quite a bit, but these two things can indeed refresh the mind! Reduce fatigue!"

Watching Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce explained.

Not long after, Zhan Zhao returned.

Just as he was holding a cigarette in his hand, Gongsun Ce immediately noticed the bag of betel nuts in his other hand.

Kaifeng Prefecture, in the hall.

With a cigarette in his mouth, Bao Zheng was currently chewing betel nut and said, "These two things are truly not bad, fatigue is cleared in an instant!"

Feeling the hot sweat coming out, Bao Zheng couldn't help but get excited.

"Right, Lord Bao, I don't feel right all over if I don't smoke one a day now!"

Hearing Bao Zheng's words, Zhan Zhao on the side smiled.

But just at this moment, a yamen runner came outside the door and said, "Lord Bao, the Censor-in-Chief and Junior Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices requests an audience!"

"Zhang Erhe? Wait, why is this person here?"

Thinking of Zhang Erhe, a look of doubt appeared on Bao Zheng's face.

Because he didn't have much contact with these Censors-in-Chief.

"Hahaha, Prime Minister Bao, long time no see, long time no see!"

Greeting with a smile, Zhang Erhe walked in with Sima Yaozu following him.

"What is the reason for the Junior Minister's visit this time?"

Looking at Zhang Erhe before him, Bao Zheng asked seriously.

Because under his governance, there was no such thing as favoritism in Kaifeng Prefecture.

"Oh, Prime Minister Bao, this matter is all my fault, my useless foster son actually offended the Empress Dowager..."

Just as Zhang Erhe explained, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce beside him were stunned.

Because Zhang Erhe didn't have a foster son, only a biological son named Zhang Dingding!

Although Zhang Dingding was also a playboy, compared to the "hard-mouthed" Pang Yu, he could be said to be kind!

Pang Yu: I'll say it again, I didn't move the mansion warehouse!

Pang Ji: You rebellious son, still arguing, go, whip dipped in wine...

Imperial Concubine Pang: Brother, just loosen your mouth!

"Since the Junior Minister says so, could it be that you have obtained the Emperor's message?"

Looking at Zhang Erhe curiously, Bao Zheng couldn't help but be confused.

He originally imprisoned Zhang Cheng because he was afraid that this "ignorant" young man would encounter danger.

But now it seems that his background is not weak either.

Censor-in-Chief and Junior Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, this is a second-rank official!

Zhang Dingding: Father Zhang Erhe! Do you understand?

Situ Yaozu: So it turns out that to mix in the world, one must talk about background and power!

Zhang Cheng: Cousin, don't be afraid, cousin will cover you after advanced studies!

"I have already pleaded for mercy with the Emperor, this time it is precisely to let him marry the princess..."

Watching Bao Zheng, Zhang Erhe smiled very happily.

"Marry the princess!"

Looking at Zhang Erhe in shock, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce beside him were stunned.

Even Zhan Zhao couldn't help but widen his eyes and say, "No, wasn't the princess's husband, Chen Shimei, killed by him as an advocate?"

"Hey, hey, hey, these words cannot be said randomly, that was clearly Chen Shimei's own doing, how can it be blamed on my foster son!"

Speaking seriously, Zhang Erhe became solemn.

"High, Junior Zhang Shaoqing!"

Raising his thumb, Bao Zheng couldn't help but sigh at this moment.

Because the Imperial Son-in-Law Chen Shimei was just guillotined by him, the princess could be said to have become a lonely person!

Zhang Erhe using a foster son to marry the princess not only became a royal relative but also solved the Emperor's trouble; it was simply killing two birds with one stone!

"Where, Prime Minister Bao is laughing at me! Ahahahaha!"

Laughing proudly, Zhang Erhe couldn't help but feel excited about his calculation at this moment.

Because just when everyone didn't know whether they should abandon their sons, his foster son, Zhang Erhe, had already appeared!

Even if Zhang Cheng had conflicts with the princess, wasn't that just a small problem between husband and wife?

Besides, even if husband and wife quarrel, wasn't that just a matter of the head and tail of the bed!

Inside the Kaifeng Prefecture prison.

Zhang Erhe followed Bao Zheng, Zhan Zhao, and others inside.

But after seeing Zhang Cheng in the cell, everyone couldn't help but twitch their corners of their mouths.

Because at this moment, Zhang Cheng was holding a limited edition "Illustrated Full Explanation" and studying it carefully!

As for Bai Yutang on the side, she was excitedly hugging the Juque sword.

This was also the main reason why she didn't come to disturb Zhang Cheng!

"Foster son, you are here, how are you living!"

Watching Zhang Cheng, Zhang Erhe hurriedly asked with worry.

"Foster son? Bai Yutang, your father is here!"

Kicking Bai Yutang on the side, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but shout.

"Your father is here! My father left long ago!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Bai Yutang couldn't help but become angry.

"Cousin, is he really your foster father!"

Just when Zhang Cheng was confused, Situ Yaozu hurriedly ran out and shouted.

"What the hell, my foster father?"

Looking at Situ Yaozu in disbelief, Zhang Cheng widened his eyes in shock.

No, he had only lived in Kaifeng Prefecture for a few days, how could he even have a foster father?

"I am the Censor-in-Chief and Junior Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices..."

Looking at Zhang Cheng seriously, Zhang Erhe explained.

"Father Zhang Erhe?"

Suddenly stunned, Zhang Cheng hurriedly raised his head.

"Hey, you child, too smart, I am your foster father!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng excitedly, Zhang Erhe couldn't help but explain.

"Cousin, damn you!"

Looking at Situ Yaozu in shock, Zhang Cheng finally understood that this was his doing.

"Cousin, accept your fate, this is marrying the princess!"

Turning his head guiltily, Situ Yaozu didn't dare to face Zhang Cheng at all.

Because he could also be considered selling his brother for glory!

"What the hell, marry the princess?"

Looking at Situ Yaozu in shock, Zhang Cheng just stepped out of the prison and grabbed Bai Yutang and said, "I don't want to marry the princess, I want to go back!"

"Hurry, pull my foster son out!"

Watching Zhang Cheng's actions, Zhang Erhe also shouted.

Stepping forward to help, Zhan Zhao showed a ferocious smile, because he had lost for so long, and finally found a chance to take revenge.

"Bastard, don't pull my pants, I'll kill you!"

Watching Zhang Cheng grabbing his pants, Bai Yutang also roared.

After struggling for a long time, Zhang Cheng was still carried away by Zhan Zhao and a group of yamen runners.

"I don't want to marry the princess, I don't want to..."

Shouting desperately, Zhang Cheng finally felt the darkness of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Because he thought of that Prince of Dali.

Prince of Dali: I am truly in love with the princess... *vomit*!

Zhang Cheng: Snowflakes fluttering, north wind whistling, the world is vast...

Inside the mansion of the Censor-in-Chief and Junior Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices.

Zhang Cheng looked at Zhang Erhe before him and said, "Thirty thousand taels of silver, your son goes to marry the princess!"

"No, I'll give you forty thousand taels, you go!"

Shaking his head, Zhang Erhe immediately became serious.

"Deal!"

Looking at Zhang Erhe seriously, Zhang Cheng immediately stood up.

And watching this scene, Situ Yaozu was stunned, "Cousin, you..."

"Cousin, the princess is not important, money is important!"

Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, Zhang Cheng turned his head and said, "It doesn't matter, it's just dignity, cousin can handle it!"

"Cousin!" Situ Yaozu.

"Cousin!" Zhang Cheng.

"Are you going to the brothel tonight?" Zhang Dingding.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"

People at the door beckoned, Zhang Cheng looked at the two people behind him in shock.
