The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 22 Bao Zheng: "How disgraceful!"

Bianliang, Princess Mansion,

After losing her husband, Chen Shimei, Princess Yingxing gradually became indifferent.
After all, the husband she chose was a man who abandoned his wife and children.
Even though she finally begged the Queen Mother to intervene, it was of no avail.

But just as Princess Yingxing was sitting in the garden dejectedly, a maid ran in and said, "Princess, Princess!"

"How unbecoming it is to shout and yell!"

Turning her head to look at the maid, the princess couldn't help but scold her.

"I'm sorry, Princess, I was too anxious!"

After bowing, the maid came to her side and said, "Princess, have you heard? His Majesty has found a new husband for you!"

"I'll let my brother take charge of this matter. I'm already feeling hopeless!"

Hearing the maid's words, Princess Yingxing looked dejected.
"Princess, do you know? The man who married you is none other than Zhang Cheng, the adopted son of Zhang Erhe, the Chief Censor and Junior Minister of the Imperial Censorate!"

The maid explained to the princess with a smile on her face.
"Hmm? Why does this person's name sound so familiar?"

Princess Yingxing looked at the maid in confusion and immediately frowned.
But just when she was in a trance, the maid said, "Do you still remember the person who stole the Queen Mother's dragon-headed cane in the hall? It was him, Princess!"

"What? That person is Zhang Cheng!"

Princess Yingxing couldn't help but yelled angrily.

"Princess, don't be angry. I heard that Zhang Cheng fell in love with you first, so he went to Qin Xianglian to complain."

When the maid whispered in Princess Yingxing's ear, the maids standing guard on all sides also poked their heads out to eavesdrop.

Because this matter was so shocking, even though they were in the royal family, they had never heard of it before.
"Princess, that Master Zhang Cheng really did whatever it took to get you!"

Looking at Princess Yingxing with a happy face, the maid chuckled.
"I actually killed the prince consort?"

Princess Yingxing covered her chest in disbelief, and immediately showed a sad look on her face.
"Princess, please don't think like that. If the prince consort hadn't abandoned his wife and children, how could she have ended up like this?"

Looking at Princess Yingxing in front of them, the maids beside them began to comfort her.

"That evil villain, even if my brother the emperor orders me to do so, I will never let him touch me!"

Princess Yingxing shouted angrily. Although she felt very happy to hear the maid say that, she still scolded her sternly.

After all, it is unheard of that someone would go to Kaifeng Prefecture to sue for his own sake!
The Chief Censor and the Shaoqing of the Taichang Temple,

Zhang Erhe was playing chess leisurely and said, "The engagement has been confirmed. It will be on the 16th of next month!"

"Four hundred thousand taels, when will you give it to me?"

Looking at Zhang Erhe in front of him, Zhang Cheng smiled.
"Hey, hey, hey, you are my adopted son, how could I lie to you!"

Zhang Erhe took a sip of the teacup in his hand and smacked his lips and said, "Xun!"

"Have the people in our Zhang family ever talked about the word honesty?"

Looking at Zhang Erhe, Zhang Cheng stared at him with suspicion.
We are all friends, so there is no point in saying such stupid things!

Looking at Zhang Cheng with a twitching mouth, Zhang Erhe stepped forward and said, "I found a princess for you, and you still ask me for money. It's a bit too much!"

"If I marry a princess, I can only have one wife, but if I don't marry a princess, I can have many wives."

Knocking on the table, Zhang Cheng looked at Zhang Erhe with a smile on his face.
"Oh, it's hard for you, kid!"

Seeing Zhang Cheng say this, Zhang Erhe sighed a little embarrassedly.
But just when Zhang Cheng thought that Zhang Erhe was finally going to pay, he raised his head and asked, "Can you give me less?"

"How much less?"

Looking at Zhang Erhe in confusion, Zhang Cheng asked,

"Three hundred and ninety-nine thousand less, not eight thousand."

Just as Zhang Erhe spoke with a serious face, Zhang Cheng took a breath and said, "How about I go and assassinate His Majesty now?"

"Ok?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in astonishment, Zhang Erhe was dumbfounded.
"Let's go together and kill all nine clans!"

Looking at Zhang Erhe, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but slam a chess piece on the table, "I asked you to marry the princess, but you played the game of exterminating all nine clans with me?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in shock, Zhang Erhe was stunned at this moment.
Because of assassinating the emperor, the lightest punishment was for the three tribes of Yi!

The punishment of scholars and officials is not enough in the face of assassination!

But even if Zhang Erhe wanted to regret it now, it was too late. After all, the whole of Bianliang knew that he was his adopted son!

"Four hundred thousand taels. I won't be there on the wedding day. Let's meet at Caishikou later!"

Zhang Cheng stood up domineeringly, with his hands behind his back with a proud look on his face.

Looking at Zhang Cheng with deep sighs, Zhang Erhe could not help but say, "The Yangtze River is like a river with waves behind it pushing those ahead of it! This four hundred thousand taels, your foster father will give you, but you sit down first and finish the game of chess!"

Looking at a young man who was even more shameless than himself, Zhang Erhe was quite impressed.

After all, if he had Zhang Cheng's thick skin when he was young, he would have become the prime minister long ago!
Fifteen days later, heaven and earth,
The flags are flying in the wind.
"The imperial guard with swords, Zhan Zhao is here."

"Mr. Gongsun from Kaifeng Prefecture has arrived."

"The prince of Xiao Shang has arrived!"

"Mr. Pang has arrived."

As the shouts rang out, the entrance to Tianshang Renjian became particularly lively.
"Bang bang bang!"

Fireworks exploded, and a row of beautiful figures in black silk stockings appeared to greet the sound of gongs.

"It's an insult to elegance, it's an insult to elegance!"

Bao Zheng spoke angrily. He had never seen such a scene before. He felt his nostrils getting hot.

But for the sake of Kaifeng Prefecture, he came here without hesitation.
Because Zhang Cheng promised that as long as Bao Zheng came, he would donate money to build a charity hall to improve the living environment of the poor outside the city.
For his own sake, Bao Zheng would never come here, but for the sake of the people, Bao Zheng still came!

"Wow, this looks really good, Prince!"

Following behind Chai Wenyi, Pang Yu's face was full of surprise.
"Look at this brother, he has an imposing bearing, he must be the legendary Mr. Pang who is 'extremely tight-lipped'!"

Coming in front of Pang Yu, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but admire him.

Because if it wasn't for the fact that he and Bai Yutang had emptied out Master Pang's mansion, he would probably have believed Pang Yu!
"Hey, don't talk nonsense! My brother has never done such a thing!"

Looking at Pang Yu beside him, Chai Wenyi quickly explained,
"Yes, yes, I have never done such a thing!"

After hearing what Chai Wenyi said, Pang Yu also hurriedly explained,

However, the guests looked at Pang Yu with disbelief on their faces.

Because everyone would rather believe that Pang Yu was tight-lipped than believe that the one million taels of silver disappeared out of thin air!
Pang Yu: I’m afraid I can’t clear myself of this blame!

Master Pang: You evil son, die for your father!

Entering the paradise, you can see white mist coming out of the pools on both sides, just like a fairyland.
"Amazing, really amazing! Could this really be a paradise on earth?"

Stroking his beard, Bao Zheng showed a curious look on his face.

But at this moment, Zhan Zhao explained: "What's so magical? There is dry ice in the pond, which is used to create fog!"

"Hey, how did Guard Zhan know that?"

Looking at Zhan Zhao curiously, Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng became puzzled.
"Well, I have been here for patrol several times before!"

As he spoke, Zhan Zhao's face turned red.

But just as Zhan Zhao finished speaking, two women in cheongsam passed by and said, "Guard Zhan, remember to come find us later! Muah!"

Blowing kisses, the women walked over,

Looking at this scene, Zhan Zhao turned his head and said, "I said, I am not familiar with them, can you believe me, sir?"

"hehe!"

Looking at Zhan Zhao with twitching mouth corners, Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng were silent.
Because this Zhan Zhao with thick eyebrows and big eyes is not a good person either!

Zhan Zhao: Zhang Cheng is such a villain, he has misled me!
