Chapter 925: The Eastern Depot does things without asking for reasons!

In the desert swept by dust,

Standing in place, everyone couldn't help but be vigilant against Zhang Cheng and Cao Shaoqin.

"Official Yang Yuxuan only put forward appropriate suggestions, yet the Eastern Depot framed a loyal official. How can we, heroes of justice, betray our trust!"

Pointing at Zhang Cheng with a sword, Zhou Huai'an couldn't help but scold.

"Yang Yuxuan is a loyal official? Who did you hear this from? The scholars of the world, or the soldiers at the border!"

Looking at Zhou Huai'an with a full face of sneers, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes: "The imperial court allocated 800,000 taels of silver to Liaodong. You guess, how much silver finally reached the soldiers' hands..."

"The Ministry of Revenue allocated funds, the Ministry of Revenue has a Minister, a Vice Minister, and then to the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War also has a Minister, a Vice Minister..."

Like a tongue twister, Zhang Cheng backhanded and crushed the bamboo hat: "800,000 taels of silver, arriving at the border Liaodong, only less than 100,000 taels. You say, is this something a human does? Ah, Zhou Huai'an, you tell me!"

Staring at Zhou Huai'an before him, Zhang Cheng dropped the bamboo hat in his hand and pulled open his long robe: "The Eastern Depot does things without asking for reasons. However, I just didn't want to see you die without knowing why, so I came to tell you the truth!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in shock, Zhou Huai'an was stunned, because this was different from what he had heard!

"You're spouting nonsense! Official Yang Yuxuan is honest and upright, how could he do such a thing!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in astonishment, Qiu Moyan roared.

"He was honest and upright in the capital, but his hometown has tens of thousands of acres of fertile land. Those who surrendered, those who hung on, relatives, gentry—you say, a mere scholar, how could he buy so much fertile land in Jiangnan in twelve years with his own salary!"

Speaking to Qiu Moyan, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but scold.

And hearing Zhang Cheng's words, not only Qiu Moyan, but even Jin Xiangyu beside her was dumbfounded: "Tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in Jiangnan? This is honest and upright?"

"Boss, what is fertile land? Is it very valuable?"

Holding his chest and getting up, Diao Buyu inquired curiously.

"If you aren't dead, shut up, don't talk!"

Speaking with a dizzy brain, Jin Xiangyu was also doubting life.

Because her inn was burned, just to save these two things?

One must know, in ancient times, there was no such thing as "everyone does their own thing."

Even if you are a beggar, if you assassinated the current Emperor, you could still find your nine generations at the vegetable market.

Don't doubt it, as long as you did it, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Eastern Depot, and Western Depot could dig out everything you've done from birth until now!

Modern times have "great memory recovery," but the Embroidered Uniform Guard and Eastern Depot, Western Depot have much more!

There is nothing you can't think of regarding the torture instruments inside the imperial prison; there is absolutely nothing they can't use!

"Hand over those two children, otherwise, you will all die!"

Holding a long sword and roaring, Cao Shaoqin became serious immediately.

"But they are just children! Even if Yang Yuxuan is guilty, it can't be blamed on them!"

Hearing Cao Shaoqin's words, Qiu Moyan hurriedly protected the two children.

"Stupid, being born in the Yang family is their fault. This is sin. When the rich smell of wine and meat, they don't see them giving alms. When there are frozen bones on the road, they aren't people of the Yang family?"

Looking at this scene coldly, the blood knife in Zhang Cheng's hand had already begun to bloom with cold light.

"Stop talking nonsense, deal with this group of rebels, kill them, and everything will be fine!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng beside him, Cao Shaoqin immediately rushed up.

And looking at Cao Shaoqin, Zhang Cheng also helplessly made a move, because he really didn't want to make a move on his own Jin Xiangyu.

Watching Cao Shaoqin and Zhang Cheng make their moves, Qiu Moyan and Zhou Huai'an also resisted desperately.

However, they were defeated very quickly. Holding a long sword to block, Qiu Moyan gritted her teeth and roared: "Zhou Huai'an, go! Zhou Huai'an!"

"Go? Can he run? I told you not to meddle in other people's business, but you wouldn't listen. Do you really think the Eastern Depot is made of mud?"

Pressing the blood knife on Zhou Huai'an's shoulder, Zhang Cheng slashed with all his might.

"Whoosh!"

The arm fell, and Zhou Huai'an immediately covered his broken arm, his eyes full of pain.

And at this moment, Diao Buyu, who was about to step forward, was pulled back.

"You, a sheep-slaughterer, are you crazy? You still want to rebel now?"

Looking at Diao Buyu, Jin Xiangyu scolded.

Looking at Jin Xiangyu awkwardly, Diao Buyu rubbed his head, stunned in place.

"Pay attention in the next life. Sometimes what you see and hear is not the truth!"

Backhanding and piercing Zhou Huai'an's chest with the curved knife, Zhang Cheng slashed forcefully, and he collapsed directly into the desert, blood soaking the earth.

"Zhou Huai'an!"

Watching Zhou Huai'an collapse, Qiu Moyan also cried bitterly.

However, in the next second, the long sword slashed her throat, and she collapsed with dull eyes.

Turning to look at Jin Xiangyu and Diao Buyu, Cao Shaoqin still intended to make a move, but Zhang Cheng stopped him: "What are you doing? They are just a boss lady who runs an inn, a bit beautiful, that's all. It's not necessary, right? We even burned her inn!"

"That's right, My Lord, you even burned my inn? How about we forget it!"

Looking at Cao Shaoqin aggrievedly, Jin Xiangyu also bit her lip and opened her mouth, revealing a charming look.

And looking at Jin Xiangyu before him, Cao Shaoqin roared: "Hmph, charming woman, bad luck!"

Waving his long robe and leaving, Cao Shaoqin took the two children away.

Watching this scene, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Because Yang Yuxuan's children were destined to enter the Teaching Workshop or become slaves in the future. After all, his crime had to be borne by someone, whether it was blood relatives or collateral relatives!

"You owe me a life!"

Looking at Jin Xiangyu and Diao Buyu, Zhang Cheng put away the blood knife and turned to leave.

And watching Zhang Cheng's back, Jin Xiangyu said regretfully: "Pity, two people without brains!"

"Boss, who are you talking about!"

Looking at Jin Xiangyu, Diao Buyu inquired curiously.

"The idiot lying over there! Is it me?" 【925-63

Scolding Diao Buyu, Jin Xiangyu also didn't expect that their so-called loyal and righteous people would actually be this kind of person!

Revealing a self-deprecating smile, Jin Xiangyu said, "It seems I have to return to within the pass again, really!"

"Shopkeeper, are we returning to within the pass? That's great, I haven't seen a big city yet!"

Looking at Jin Xiangyu in surprise, Diao Buyu became happy.

Looking at Diao Buyu beside her, Jin Xiangyu couldn't help but cover her forehead.

Returning to the capital after a long absence, Zhang Cheng suddenly learned one thing, which was that Tang Bohu had actually "cheated" in the exams.

Arriving at the Embroidered Uniform Guard's celestial prison,

Seeing the man who was usually graceful and elegant now exceptionally dejected, Zhang Cheng teased, "Young Master Tang, what has happened to you?"

"I didn't cheat, do you believe me?"

Turning his head to look at Zhang Cheng, Tang Bohu hurriedly explained, his eyes full of sincerity.

"I believe you, but His Majesty doesn't believe it, and those who didn't pass believe it even less!"

Speaking to Tang Bohu, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and said, "You have no choice now, because once Xu Jing cannot withstand the torture, even if you didn't cheat, you will be treated as if you did!"

"But I didn't pass at all!"

Explaining to Zhang Cheng, Tang Bohu was about to collapse.

Because he wasn't even selected as a successful candidate, so how could he have participated in cheating?

Xu Jing is also to blame; it would have been fine if you were arrogant in Jiangnan, but after coming to the capital, you were still so rampant, visiting this person and that person; isn't it obvious that there is a problem?

Now it's great, everyone is in trouble.

Looking at Tang Bohu, Zhang Cheng said, "Alright, there will be a result for your matter soon, but in this life of yours, you are destined not to be an official."
