The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 925: The East Factory does things without asking reasons!
In the dusty desert,

Standing there, everyone couldn't help but be wary of Zhang Cheng and Cao Shaoqin.

"Lord Yang Yuxuan was only making appropriate suggestions, but the East Factory framed a loyal and honest person. How could we, as chivalrous men, betray our trust?"

He drew his sword and pointed it at Zhang Cheng. Zhou Huaian could not help but scold him.
"Yang Yuxuan is a loyal and good man? Who told you this? The scholars in the world, or the soldiers at the border?"

Looking at Zhou Huaian with a sneer on his face, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes and said: "The court allocated 800,000 taels to Liaodong. Guess how much silver ended up in the hands of the soldiers."

"The Ministry of Revenue allocated funds, and there were ministers and assistant ministers in the Ministry of Revenue. Then the Ministry of War allocated funds, and there were ministers and assistant ministers in the Ministry of War as well."

Like a tongue twister, Zhang Cheng crushed his bamboo hat with his backhand and said, "800,000 taels of silver, but when it arrived at the border of Liaodong, there was less than 100 taels. Do you think this is something a human being would do? Ah, Zhou Huaian, tell me!"

Staring at Zhou Huaian in front of him, Zhang Cheng dropped the bamboo hat in his hand, then lifted up his robe and said, "The East Factory does things without asking for reasons, but I just don't want to see you die unclearly, so I'm here to tell you the truth!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in shock, Zhou Huaian was completely stunned, because how could this be different from what he had heard!

"You are talking nonsense. Lord Yang Yuxuan is an honest official. How could he do such a thing?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in astonishment, Qiu Moyan roared,

"He is honest in the capital, but his hometown has tens of thousands of acres of good farmland, from those who served, those who were affiliated with him, relatives, and gentry. Tell me, how could a mere scholar like him use his salary to buy so much good farmland in Jiangnan in twelve years!"

Zhang Cheng couldn't help but scold Qiu Moyan.
After hearing what Zhang Cheng said, not only Qiu Moyan, but also Jin Xiangyu beside him was dumbfounded and said, "Tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in Jiangnan? This is called integrity?"

"Boss, what is good farmland? Is it valuable?"

Holding his chest, Diao Buyu asked curiously,
"If you're not dead, shut up and don't talk!"

Jin Xiangyu spoke with a dizzy mind, and began to doubt her life.

Because her inn was burned down, and she did it to save these two things?
You know, in ancient times, it was not the same for one person to take responsibility for one's work.
Even if you are a beggar and you assassinate the current emperor, your nine clans can be found at Caishikou.

Don't doubt it. As long as you do it, the Jinyiwei, the East Factory, and the West Factory will be able to dig up everything you have done since you were born.
In modern times, there is "big memory recovery", but Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Xichang have much more!

The torture instruments in the imperial prison are so numerous that you can't imagine them, but there is absolutely nothing they can't use!
"Hand over those two children, otherwise, you will all die!"

Holding a long sword and shouting angrily, Cao Shaoqin became serious.
"But they are just children. Even if Yang Yuxuan is guilty, it cannot be blamed on them!"

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

"Stupid, being born into the Yang family is their fault, this is a sin. When the rich are enjoying wine and meat, they don't give charity. When there are people freezing to death on the road, they are no longer members of the Yang family, right?"

Watching this scene indifferently, the blood knife in Zhang Cheng's hand began to emit a cold light.

"Don't say any more. Just deal with these traitors and kill them. Everything will be fine!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng beside him, Cao Shaoqin immediately rushed forward.
Looking at Cao Shaoqin, Zhang Cheng had no choice but to take action, because he really didn't want to do anything to his own Jin Xiangyu.

Looking at Cao Shaoqin and Zhang Cheng who were taking action, Qiu Moyan and Zhou Huaian also tried their best to resist.

But he was soon defeated. Holding the long sword to block, Qiu Moyan gritted his teeth and roared: "Zhou Huaian, go! Zhou Huaian!"

"Leave? Can he get away? I told you to stop interfering, but you didn't listen. Do you really think it was made of clay by the East Factory?"

The bloody knife pressed on Zhou Huaian's shoulder, and Zhang Cheng slashed with all his might.
"Wow!"

The arm fell, and Zhou Huaian immediately covered his broken arm, his eyes full of pain.
At this moment, Diao Buyu, who was about to step forward, was pulled back.

"Are you a sheep killer and you crazy? Are you planning to rebel now?" Looking at Diao Buyu, Jin Xiangyu scolded him.
Looking at Jin Xiangyu awkwardly, Diao Buyu rubbed his head and stood there in a daze.

"In your next life, be careful with your eyes and ears. Sometimes what you see and hear is not the truth!"

With his backhand, Zhang Cheng thrust the scimitar through Zhou Huaian's chest. With a fierce slash, he fell directly into the desert, his blood soaking the ground.

"Zhou Huaian!"

Seeing Zhou Huaian fall, Qiu Moyan also burst into tears.
But the next second, the long sword cut her throat, and she fell down with lifeless eyes.
Turning around to look at Jin Xiangyu and Diao Buyu, Cao Shaoqin was about to take action, but Zhang Cheng stopped him and said, "What are you doing? She's just the proprietress of an inn. She's still charming and pretty. It's not that serious. We burned down her inn!"

"Yes, sir, you also burned down my inn? Why don't we just forget it!"

Looking at Cao Shaoqin aggrievedly, Jin Xiangyu bit her lip and spoke, revealing a charming look.
Looking at Jin Xiangyu in front of him, Cao Shaoqin shouted angrily: "Humph, charming woman, bad luck!"

He left waving his robe, while Cao Shaoqin took the two children away.
Looking at this scene, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but squint his eyes.

Because Yang Yuxuan's child is destined to enter the Jiaofangsi or become a slave in the future. After all, someone must bear the responsibility for his sins, no matter if it is a blood relative or a collateral relative!

"You owe me a life!"

Looking at Jin Xiangyu and Diao Buyu, Zhang Cheng put away the bloody knife and turned away.
Looking at Zhang Cheng's back, Jin Xiangyu said with regret: "Poor thing, two brainless people!"

"Shopkeeper, who are you talking about?"

Looking at Jin Xiangyu, Diao Buyu became curious.

"That fool lying over there! Could it be me?"

Scolding Diao Buyu, Jin Xiangyu never expected that their so-called loyal and good person would actually be such a person!

With a self-deprecating smile, Jin Xiangyu said, "It looks like I have to go back to the interior of the country again, what a shame!"

"Boss, are we going back to the interior? 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.

After returning to the capital after a long absence, Zhang Cheng suddenly learned that Tang Bohu had cheated.

Arriving at the Imperial Guard's prison,
Seeing the man who used to be so elegant, now particularly depressed, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but jokingly asked, "Mr. Tang, what's wrong with you?"

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

Turning to look at Zhang Cheng, Tang Bohu quickly explained, his eyes full of seriousness.
"I believe it, but your Majesty doesn't, and those who didn't win don't believe it even more!"

Speaking to Tang Bohu, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and said, "You have no choice now, because once Xu Jing can't bear the torture, even if you didn't cheat, you will be considered a traitor!"

“But I didn’t win at all!”

Tang Bohu almost collapsed while explaining to Zhang Cheng.
Since he was not even selected as a Jinshi, how could he be involved in cheating?
The same goes for Xu Jing. It's fine that you were arrogant in Jiangnan, but now you've come to the capital and are still so arrogant, visiting this and that. Isn't it obvious that there's a problem?

Well, everyone is in trouble now.
Looking at Tang Bohu, Zhang Cheng said: "Okay, your matter will soon have a result, but you are destined not to be an official in this life."
