My Lord, your wife is spreading rumors about you again.

Chapter 52: Little Tricks Between Young Couples

Zhang Zhi kept looking at her with a smile, "Indeed, it is a good thing that such a technique has been recorded."

Hearing this, Mingli's heart seemed to be hit. This feeling was very strange, but it was like spring water that nourishes all things and a gorgeous flower blooms in the dry land.

She murmured, "I thought you would blame me."

"It's a bit weird." Zhang Zhi smiled and deliberately provoked her: "After all, I worked so hard to come here to work for you, but you left me alone for more than an hour just to do something with another man."

Mingli thought about it seriously and said, "Then I will compensate you."

"Compensation?" Zhang Zhi was stunned. "What, compensation?"

Mingli said, "It's all right. You can ask whatever you want. As long as it's not out of line, I'll agree to it."

"Whatever I ask?" Zhang Zhi raised his eyebrows. He was not a fool. The more favors he owed, the better. He bent down and stared at Ming Li: "Then why don't you just kiss me casually?"

Mingli: “.”

She raised her hand, pushed Zhang Zhi's face away, walked forward, and said indifferently: "Zhang Zhi, I just rarely go down the mountain, I'm not stupid. It's written in the storybook that kissing can only happen between husband and wife."

Zhang Zhi: “.”

Well, this damn script.

Two days later, early in the morning, an earth-shattering howl erupted in the Mo family compound.

Mo Zhao ordered a new young man from Anxiang Tower last night, but when he took a look at him in the daylight this morning, he found that the young man, who had been tormented by him for half the night and was covered with bruises, turned out to be his own son!

Zhang Zhi had already planted someone in the Mo family. Once this happened, the news spread throughout the mansion. In less than half an hour, it was made into a story and spread among the people in the market. For a time, everyone knew about it.

At the same time, the large drum for complaining about grievances in front of the Kyoto government office, which had been covered with dust for years, was being beaten so hard that it could be heard from several streets away.

The one beating the drum was none other than Zang Bei.

Kyoto prefect Cheng Wusi didn't even put on his boots, he just put on an official robe and ran out in a hurry. When he saw the person coming, he couldn't help but be surprised.

He hurried forward to help: "Master Zang? What are you doing? Ouch, get up quickly, get up quickly, you are really embarrassing me!"

"Sir Cheng, I have a petition here. Please take it and examine this case strictly!" Zang Bei took out the petition and held it high.

It was already daybreak, and there were circles of curious people surrounding the place. Standing at the back were the instigators of this drama - Mingli, Zhang Zhi and Jiang Tong.

Cheng Wusi was puzzled. He bent down and asked in a low voice, "Master Zang, what are you doing? Now is a time of trouble. Why are you here to complain? Have you discussed this with the Second Prince? If you create some scandalous situation, where will you put the Second Prince?!"

Zang Bei felt like he had aged a dozen years overnight. He knelt on the ground and refused to get up, staring at Cheng Wusi with his eyes fixed.

He shouted loudly, enunciating each word: "I want to sue my wife, Wu, for not cultivating her virtues as a woman, being despicable and shameless, having an affair with someone else, and destroying the foundation and bloodline of my Zang family!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar among the crowd.

Then, several servants of the Zang family brought Madam Zang and Zang Ying up. Zang Bei knelt on the ground again: "Zang Ying is not my biological daughter, but the daughter of Wu who had an affair with someone after marriage! The one who had an affair with her was none other than Mo Zhao, the Imperial Censor of the Lianghuai Salt Administration! If Lord Cheng doesn't believe me, you can go to the palace and summon the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau to come and do a blood test to prove your relationship!" A man in the crowd shouted: "Then let's do a test! If you want to test your relationship, why isn't Lord Mo Zhao here?!"

"Yes, yes, please ask the governor of Kyoto to bring Lord Mo to face off!"

Cheng Wusi was so angry that he slapped his head, but because there were so many people around, he could only curse in his heart.

"Zang Bei! Are you crazy? Do you know how much trouble you will cause to the Second Prince by doing this?!"

"Being betrayed by my legal wife, and having raised a daughter for more than ten years turned out not to be my own." Zang Bei smiled bitterly and raised his head: "Sir Cheng, you don't feel the pain unless you are whipped. Today, let alone the possibility of implicating Your Highness, even if the Second Prince comes in person, I will trample this adulterous couple into the mud!"

Cheng Wusi simply wanted to pick up a brick and hit Zang Bei to death.

If you want to die, can you get out of here? If this incident really has any impact on the Second Prince, and the case was handled by him, then he will definitely end up in trouble!

At this time, a team of soldiers cleared a path through the noisy crowd.
An official in a red robe and black belt walked up to the crowd. His eyes were like an eagle, and his words were not to be refused: "Since this matter involves Lord Mo, why not let me judge it? What do Lord Cheng and Lord Zang think?"

Mingli saw this unexpected person and guessed, "Is he Sui Zheng?"

"Yes." Zhang Zhi tilted his head and explained, "You know, he is a well-known iron-headed and upright person in the court of our Great Qi. However, it stands to reason that his news should not be so fast."

Jiang Tong asked worriedly, "Sir Sui has always been a man who can't tolerate any injustice. Now that he has come forward, it will be difficult for us to do anything."

"Don't worry, we have already done everything we can. From now on, we will do only righteous things. Perhaps, we can even help Lord Sui." Everything was proceeding according to the original plan. Mingli seemed to be in a good mood. She turned her head and asked with a smile, "Young Master Zhang, do you want to gamble?"

Zhang Zhi naturally obeyed her and asked, "What are you betting on?"

"Let's bet on whether Lord Sui can invite Mo Zhao out this time." Mingli was the first to speak up: "I bet he can't!"

She is still waiting for Xi Mo to come and beg in person.

The corner of Zhang Zhi's mouth twitched, but he couldn't help laughing when he saw Mingli's face full of satisfaction after his plan succeeded.

He raised his hand and tapped her head with his folding fan: "I've discovered recently that you're quite shameless after getting to know each other. If you can't bet on him, what else can I bet on? Of course, I bet on him being able to bet on you."

Mingli immediately asked, "What about the bet?"

Zhang Zhi's eyes turned, and a plan came to his mind: "If I win the bet, you kiss me. If you win, I will kiss you. How about it?"

Mingli: ".Go away."

Jiang Tong stood aside with her arms folded across her chest, silently watching the little tricks between the young couple. She shouldn't have drunk porridge this morning, she should have drunk vinegar!

On the other side, the right to try the case has been transferred.

Sui Zheng was under the emperor's order. Since he had said that he would try the case, Cheng Wusi had to hold back his objections. He bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Sui, for your hard work. Please."

While Sui Zheng was investigating the Zang family's affairs, he also kept sending people to invite Mo Zhao. Just as Mingli Zhang Zhi had expected, he was turned away several times in a row.
