Chapter 918: Zhang Cheng

Under the sound of whistling horse hooves, a knight was galloping.

Traveling through the forest, Zhang Cheng was wearing slim-fitting casual clothes, with a blood knife hanging at his waist, his eyes full of gloom.

He really didn't understand why the Eastern Depot had to manage the affairs of the Six Fan Gates; after all, this belonged to "goods not matching the description"!

Just like the ICAC, the ICAC can investigate internally, but if you let them manage robbery, Ye Guohuan and the others could laugh their teeth off!

After all, even if they kill and set fires, it has nothing to do with the ICAC!

Zhang Cheng currently had this kind of thought; after all, he joined the Eastern Depot purely to repay the kindness of the Hua Mansion.

If he could rise step by step in the Eastern Depot, Zhang Cheng wouldn't refuse either.

But to stand out in the Eastern Depot, there was a necessary prerequisite, and that was castration.

As the most loyal supporters of imperial power in the Ming Dynasty, the creation of the Eastern and Western Depots was to help the Emperor solve troubles, because they were house slaves!

One must know, in the five thousand years of Chinese history, the only person buried in the imperial mausoleum was Wang Cheng'en.

And when the Ming Dynasty was about to perish, the three thousand Imperial Horse Guards told Li Zicheng with their dignity that they still possessed endless courage!

The final sacrifice for the country was also a romance unique to them!

In the mountains and forests, a scout was observing the front, but when he saw Zhang Cheng riding over, he immediately waved to the people behind him.

Sensing prey approaching, a large number of mountain bandits couldn't help but reveal excited expressions.

"Whoa!"

While galloping, Zhang Cheng suddenly sensed something was wrong and hurriedly tightened the reins.

And just as he stopped, a large number of mountain bandits suddenly appeared on both sides: "This mountain was opened by me, this tree was planted by me. If you want to pass through here, leave behind road money!"

Walking out swaggeringly, the mountain bandit leader couldn't help but laugh loudly.

Looking at the other party, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but feel disgusted: "Blind things, even robbing me? Don't you know I am your Ancestor?"

Looking at the mountain bandit leader in anger, Zhang Cheng scolded.

"Yo, pretty boy, you're quite arrogant, actually saying you're our Ancestor!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng playfully, the mountain bandit leader couldn't help but laugh loudly.

And looking at the mountain bandit leader, Zhang Cheng leaned down and said: "Come, come over here, look at what this is!"

Waving his hand, Zhang Cheng signaled the mountain bandit leader to step forward.

Looking at Zhang Cheng suspiciously, the mountain bandit leader couldn't help but be stunned, his face revealing a confused expression.

"Big Brother, can't go! What if this point is thorny? Wouldn't you be finished?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng's unconcerned appearance, the second-in-command beside him hurriedly spoke up.

Hearing this sentence, the mountain bandit leader hurriedly said: "You're right, you go in my place!"

"Me?"

Looking at the mountain bandit leader in disbelief, the second-in-command seemed to want to slap himself right now, because why did he have to say that extra sentence?

Swallowing his saliva and stepping forward, the second-in-command gripped his knife, his face full of solemnity: "Kid, I warn you not to mess around, my martial arts are very high!"

But just as he leaned in front of Zhang Cheng, a hand pulled open the long robe.

"Eh? What kind of token is this, the shape is quite unique!"

Looking at the token curiously, the second-in-command couldn't help but get happy.

Because this token was so good-looking, it must be worth quite a bit of money, right?

"Big Brother, this kid has a token on him, it's quite good-looking!"

Speaking to the mountain bandit leader behind him, the second-in-command couldn't help but reveal big yellow teeth.

"Token, what kind of token is it?"

Looking at the second-in-command in astonishment, the mountain bandit leader was currently sweating profusely.

Because even if he was a mountain bandit, he understood some things, and that was that only people who were officials would carry tokens and such things with them!

"Seems to be a dragon, but it looks more like a python?"

Explaining to the mountain bandit leader behind him, the second-in-command hurriedly inquired: "Big Brother, is this thing worth money?"

"Worth money, too worth money!"

Looking at the second-in-command in collapse, the mountain bandit leader couldn't help but tremble when he heard this sentence.

"What? Do you want me to dismount and kowtow to you personally?"

Looking at the mountain bandit leader not far away, Zhang Cheng stared at the other party playfully.

And hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the other party immediately rushed forward and slid to his knees: "My Lord, spare my life! We were just blind for a moment and offended you..."

"Big Brother? What are you doing?"

Looking at the mountain bandit leader uncomprehendingly, the second-in-command was dazed.

"You damn idiot! This is a Python Dragon! The Eastern... Eastern Depot's symbol!"

Dragging the second-in-command to kneel, the mountain bandit leader was full of collapse.

Because they never expected that in robbing, they had robbed an Eastern Depot!

No wonder Zhang Cheng said he was their Ancestor, because when the Eastern Depot robs things, they don't need a reason at all!

Unlike them, who still needed to shout a slogan to stabilize the core.

When the Eastern Depot comes up, they directly swing their blades and start copying the house!

"Eastern... Eastern Depot!"

Stuttering as he raised his head, the second-in-command looked at Zhang Cheng as if he had seen a ghost.

Looking at the two with a full face of smiles, Zhang Cheng backhanded a horse whip.

"Snap!"

A ferocious wound was left on his cheek, and the mountain bandit leader didn't dare to make a sound.

Lowering his head, Zhang Cheng stared at the two and said: "On this road, have you harmed anyone?"

"No, My Lord, we are just seeking wealth, never harming lives. Everyone is from the surrounding ten miles, how would we dare to do such a thing!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in fear, the mountain bandit leader hurriedly explained.

And hearing him say this, Zhang Cheng looked at the distant mountains and forests, discovering that except for a few able-bodied men, they were basically old people and women and children.

"This whip is a warning to you. Don't rob people wearing official boots again in the future, you blind dogs!"

Looking at the mountain bandit leader with disgust, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but scold.

Because his outfit was already very obvious; he was a person in the government. After all, the secret agent's official boots were already on his feet, but these people still insisted on stopping him.

Although Zhang Cheng could choose not to do anything to these people who were farmers when it was idle and bandits when it was chaotic, if they really stopped a ruthless character, most of them would be wiped out!

After all, the Eastern Depot's way of doing things was no joke; they were truly responsible to no one except the Emperor!

"We know, My Lord!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in fear, the mountain bandit leader hurriedly nodded.

"Robbing is not okay. You can completely build a railing here and collect a road fee; after all, road maintenance also requires money, right?"

Looking at the mountain bandit leader, Zhang Cheng immediately pointed out a bright path.

And hearing Zhang Cheng say this, the mountain bandit leader was dumbfounded: "Ah? This also works? The government, does the government not care?"

"You earn money, then give a little to those above. Everyone turns a blind eye, how can you be so stupid!"

Looking at the mountain bandit leader with disgust, Zhang Cheng scolded.

"Big Brother, this small... My Lord said it so well!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, the second-in-command was about to blurt out that sentence, but hurriedly changed the vocabulary.

"By the way, have you heard of Tian Boguang?"

Inquiring of the mountain bandit leader, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but speak up.

"Tian Boguang? I know, I know. That thief ruined the daughter of Liu Yuanwai in our village, and then ran away. That was just something from two days ago!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng say this, the mountain bandit leader hurriedly explained.

"This is your reward. Don't bring the women and children in the village to rob the road again. If you meet a ruthless person, you won't be able to run!"

Taking out a stack of silver notes and throwing them into the other party's face, Zhang Cheng galloped away.

And looking at Zhang Cheng's back, the second-in-command said: "Big Brother, that My Lord is truly a good person!"

"Yeah, a good person. But if we had really committed a crime, we would be dead!"

Thinking of the curved knife at Zhang Cheng's waist, the mountain bandit leader felt a chill.
