Chapter 347: No one is without flaws!

The capital, Southern Division of the Embroidered Uniform Guard,

reviewing the prison cases, Zhang Cheng picked up his brush and began to outline.

Because these were all people who needed the Emperor to make a decision.

If there was no approval after they were sent back, it meant they were useless!

A circle represented continued detention, an X meant 'died of illness'!

But just at this moment, Ding Xiu walked in from outside and said, "My lord, someone seeks an audience!"

"Who?"

Looking at Ding Xiu with confusion, Zhang Cheng hurriedly asked.

"A servant of Lord Yan from the Ministry of Revenue!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Ding Xiu smiled and said, "The Little Cabinet Minister!"

"Let him in!"

Signaling Ding Xiu, Zhang Cheng continued to look at the cases, but his eyes began to flash with suspicion.

Because he didn't know why Yan Shifan would look for him; could it be because he was the newly appointed Assistant Commander, so he came to say hello?

You must know, when Yan Song was the Chief Grand Secretary, Yan Shifan was in his 'craziest' era.

He even dared to embezzle the money of Prince Yu, the son of Jiajing; you can imagine how ruthless he was!

Such a person simply didn't leave himself any leeway!

If you ask Zhang Cheng, even if Jiajing didn't purge the Yan family, once Prince Yu ascended the throne, Yan Shifan would have to sing 'Conquer'!

After all, the grudge between Prince Yu and Yan Shifan wasn't formed in a day!

Ten minutes later, the man who walked in from outside spoke with a face full of smiles, "This little one greets you, my lord!"

"A man of the Little Cabinet Minister?"

Looking at the servant before him, Zhang Cheng sat casually on the chair, his face full of smiles.

"This little one follows the words of my master, to send a letter to you, my lord, and also some insignificant gifts!"

Having someone hand over a list, the servant smiled.

Looking at this scene, Zhang Cheng turned his head to look at Ding Xiu.

Stepping forward to take the gift list, Zhang Cheng's mouth curled up.

Because Yan Shifan was truly arrogant, actually daring to send gifts even to the Embroidered Uniform Guard; he really didn't know how to write the word 'death'!

However, after reading the list, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Thank the Little Cabinet Minister for me when you go back, Zhang Mouren has always respected Chief Grand Secretary Yan the most!"

Looking at the servant before him, Zhang Cheng squinted his eyes.

"Since you like it, my lord, then this little one will go back!"

Cupping his hands and bowing with a face full of smiles, the servant immediately turned and left.

"Not bad, this Young Cabinet Minister gives thirty thousand taels of silver right off the bat!"

Teasingly stepping forward, Ding Xiu held the list and spoke.

Looking at Ding Xiu beside him, Zhang Cheng said, "Send everything to Commander Lu!"

"Hmm? Lu Bing?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in disbelief, Ding Xiu's face was filled with astonishment.

"Do you think no one saw us receiving things? This is the Southern Division of the Embroidered Uniform Guard!"

Looking at Ding Xiu with annoyance, Zhang Cheng complained.

Yan Shifan dared to send things here, which proved that he knew no one dared to touch him right now.

Even if Zhang Cheng was loyal and reported it to Jiajing, this matter would still be left unsettled, and it would also make Yan Shifan think he was an enemy!

Because Jiajing currently needed Yan Song to help him control the court.

And compared to Yan Song and Yan Shifan, people like Xu Jie were the ones Zhang Cheng disliked more!

Because they only claimed to be 'pure' on the surface, but the things they did behind the scenes were no better than Yan Shifan!

And how many acres of land did the Xu family occupy in Jiangnan? Twenty thousand acres!

This was just the data that could be checked; as for the unknown, who knew how much more there was!

Is Xu Jie a good person? Is Yan Song a bad person? Wrong, this world is not black and white!

Compared to Yan Shifan, who could be cooperated with, Zhang Cheng wanted to let Xu Jie go down first!

Because you can't give such a person any chance, otherwise he will definitely 'bite' you to death!

Yan Mansion,

when Yan Shifan looked at the servant who had returned, he immediately asked, "How is it? That newly appointed Assistant Commander?"

"Reporting to my lord, Zhang Xinzhi looks young, but he is quite scheming. After we left, he transferred the items to Lu Bing!" Speaking to Yan Shifan before him, the servant hurriedly explained.

Hearing this, Yan Shifan stroked his chin and said, "He is afraid to agree, but also afraid to offend me!"

Smiling, Yan Shifan then said, "Fine, that's all!"

After the servant left, Yan Shifan couldn't help but squint his eyes.

Why did he test Zhang Cheng today? Because the other party's appearance was too dazzling.

A hundred cavalry daring to 'persuade' Prince Qing to surrender, and he was an Embroidered Uniform Guard; for him, although this wasn't a threat, he might have to deal with him in the future, so it was better to take a look in advance!

However, according to today's test, Zhang Cheng seemed to be a smart man!

Although the Embroidered Uniform Guard was the Emperor's personal army, it didn't say they couldn't have 'close friends'!

Through today's matter, Yan Shifan knew that winning over Zhang Cheng wasn't difficult, but wanting the other party to join the Yan family's camp would be quite tricky!

After all, in the court, having one more friend means one less enemy!

Southern Division of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, office!

"Commander Lu asked me to tell you, he will hand these over to the Inner Palace!"

After returning, looking at Zhang Cheng, Ding Xiu explained.

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng tapped the table and said, "Not bad, that will do!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng thinking, Ding Xiu stroked his chin and said, "Is there any point in calculating like this every day?"

"You don't understand, my calculations are for the world, not for myself!"

Standing up, Zhang Cheng's eyes flashed with dazzling light.

But hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Ding Xiu was stunned, "The world? You don't really want to be a saint, do you?"

"A saint? That's just a ridiculous joke. I just want to do some things that others haven't done!"

Looking back at Ding Xiu, Zhang Cheng's eyes were filled with determination.

"So? What should we do?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng curiously, Ding Xiu was stunned.

"Let Xu Jie get out, and then expel Yan Song... I want to let someone become the Chief Grand Secretary as soon as possible! Give the Great Ming enough time to rise!"

Looking at Ding Xiu seriously, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but think of one person, Zhang Juzheng, his only choice for an ally!

"You, an Assistant Commander, dare to meddle in the affairs of the Cabinet, are you crazy, or am I crazy?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in disbelief, Ding Xiu opened his mouth wide.

"No one is without flaws! As long as there are weaknesses, we can defeat them!"

Smiling coldly, Zhang Cheng didn't care what methods he used.

He could launch a war of annihilation for the Great Song back then, suppressing South Asia, and now he could also flatten the wheels, leaving women but not men!

"But the problem is, Xu Jie? Is he that easy to mess with?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with suspicion, Ding Xiu was stunned.

"We can't mess with Xu Jie, but that doesn't mean someone else can't!"

Looking at Ding Xiu with a face full of smiles, Zhang Cheng had long since chosen a 'knife-wielder', and that was Yan Shifan!

Unlike Yan Song who wanted to stabilize the overall situation and keep Xu Jie, Yan Shifan was famous for being a 'troublemaker'!

Now Xu Jie was holding onto the Shen Yishi matter to mess with Yan Shifan. If he knew there was still a chance to counterattack, wouldn't he risk his life to fight Xu Jie?

As for the evidence of the crime, stop joking, he was an Embroidered Uniform Guard. Besides, were those sons of Xu Jie any good?

Zhang Cheng didn't even need to use tricks to make them jump into the pit themselves.

However, to be safe, Zhang Cheng still planned to give Xu Jie a big one, at least ensuring he could completely step down from the Cabinet.

Watching Zhang Cheng's eyes flash constantly, Ding Xiu drank a cup of tea, because although he didn't know what Zhang Cheng was thinking, looking at the corners of his mouth curling up, he could guess that someone was acting as a 'mastermind'!
