The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 1289 Xue Baochai enters the capital, and the foolish tyrant walks into the trap!
In the Ningguo Mansion, amidst the artificial hills and waterside pavilions,

Upon learning that Da Lian Bao had been punched in the nose by Lin Daiyu three times, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Because if things continue like this, it won't take more than a few years for Lu Zhishen to uproot the willow tree and for Lin Daiyu to uproot Lu Zhishen!
Just as the sisters, looking rather gloomy, found a pavilion to play mahjong, Zhang Cheng approached them and asked, "What's wrong? Weren't you going to play today?"

"Don't even mention it, brother! That Baoyu is just like a complete idiot!"

When Zhang Cheng tried to explain, Lin Daiyu got angry.

"No brains?"

Looking at Lin Daiyu with suspicion, Jia Yingchun and the others all became curious.

"That's what my older brother said; it describes someone who's brainless!"

As she explained to everyone, Lin Daiyu smiled.
Hearing Lin Daiyu say this, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.
Just then, Jia Wei ran over and said, "Uncle, I've brought back everything you asked me to find. After Leng Zixing made his move, I had to go to several other households to redeem it!"

After a box was opened, inside were the things Jia Yingchun's mother had left for her.

"Second sister, look, are these yours?"

Zhang Cheng handed the box to Jia Yingchun and smiled.
But as soon as Jia Yingchun saw the hairpins and various bracelets inside, she immediately stood up, her eyes red with envy, and said, "Yingchun thanks you, brother!"

"Oh, hey, don't be so polite. Since you call me brother, this is what I should do!"

Speaking to Jia Yingchun, Zhang Cheng closed the book and said, "You must keep this safe this time. If you encounter someone who doesn't know what's good for them, tell your brother and I'll help you bleed them!"

Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the maids all became frightened.

"Alright, you guys have fun! I still have official business to attend to!"

Smiling at everyone, Zhang Cheng left with his hands behind his back.
Watching Zhang Cheng leave, Jia Xichun said happily, "Actually, my brother is quite good!"

"Of course, after all, he's my older brother!"

With a haughty tone, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but smile.

"Miss, you weren't like this when the Earl used to scold you!"

Upon hearing Lin Daiyu say this, Xueyan immediately contradicted her.
Looking at Xueyan, Lin Daiyu said resentfully, "Xueyan, how can you speak like that?"

"Hahaha, Lin Daiyu is furious and embarrassed!"

Seeing Lin Daiyu's expression, Tan Chun spoke with a teasing look.
While everyone was joking around, Zhang Cheng had already left the city.
In the Divine Pivot Camp, new recruits were running frantically, while behind them were soldiers wielding whips.
If you fall even half a step behind, the whip lashing you is no joke.
As Jia Huan desperately tried to move his legs, he felt as if he were about to die.
Even so, he dared not linger for a moment. You see, in order to get in touch with Jue-ge'er, her mother had begged Jia Zheng for several days to get her into the family. Even for his mother's sake, Jia Huan absolutely could not stop!

Mounted on horseback, Zhang Cheng looked at the Jia family members training not far away and asked, "Wen Zhao, is anyone trying to escape?"

"Yes, but they were all hung up by their teeth as a warning!"

Looking at the Jia family members not far away, who resembled dried-up cured meat, Cao Wenzhao laughed.

"Well done, this is exactly the effect I wanted. Once inside the Divine Pivot Camp, not only the Jia family, but even I, will have to follow military orders!"

Upon hearing Cao Wenzhao speak, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but chime in.
"By the way, General, I'm going to have Bianjiao handle the matter you instructed me to do!" Looking at Zhang Cheng, Cao Wenzhao became serious.
Hearing Cao Wenzhao's words, Zhang Cheng nodded and said, "Alright, tell him to be careful and not let the Embroidered Uniform Guard sneak up on us!"

"Understood, General!"

When he spoke to Zhang Cheng, Cao Wenzhao immediately nodded.

What Zhang Cheng asked Cao Wenzhao to do was to clean house, since Shuiyue Nunnery was not a good place!
That's the famous "Mantou Temple"!
If this isn't resolved beforehand, Zhang Cheng is afraid something bad might come out!

Not long after, Cao Bianjiao walked over from a distance, his face full of a hearty smile, and said, "General, your humble servant has arrived!"

"Take about thirty men with you tonight to carry out your mission. Remember, anyone who causes trouble must be dealt with. Do not leave any future problems behind!"

As Zhang Cheng addressed Cao Bianjiao, he patted him on the shoulder.

Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Cao Bianjiao immediately said very seriously, "This subordinate understands, General, but what about those who are still young?"

"Knock out the younger ones, and I'll report it to the authorities!"

Looking at Cao Bianjiao, Zhang Cheng smiled.

Upon hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Cao Bianjiao was completely dumbfounded. Report to the authorities? You're serious!
It's one thing to be blind to what's right under your nose, but to cry foul like a thief is another!
But the thought that Iron Threshold Temple was still Jia family territory brought a picture to Cao Bianjiao's mind.
Zhang Cheng: Who is this person below, daring to accuse me, an official!

Half a month later, things calmed down in the Rong and Ning mansions.

Although conflicts still occur from time to time, they are all minor issues.

For example, when Da Lianbao smashed the jade, he really scared Lin Daiyu the first time, but the second time, he was beaten up, and not badly at that. His face was swollen like a pig's head. If Grandmother Jia hadn't arrived quickly, he would have had to stay at the Iron Threshold Temple for seven days!

Because Zhang Cheng told Lin Daiyu that when you encounter such an ignorant child, you have to discipline them with your fists.

As the younger sister, Lin Daiyu trusted Zhang Cheng completely, but Zhang Cheng never expected that his younger sister would beat him to death!

So ever since then, Da Lianbao still coveted Lin Daiyu, but he didn't dare to smash the jade anymore, because if he dared to smash it, Lin Daiyu would really dare to kill him!

Faced with Lin Daiyu hitting her twice in a row, Lady Wang was furious, but she could only rage helplessly.
Because she now needs the Jia family to help Wang Ziteng stabilize the situation in the army, otherwise she will have no value left!
However, good news arrived today: the Xue family has entered the capital.

Because of Xue Pan's killing of Feng Yuan and Jia Yucun's misjudgment of the gourd case, Xue the Tyrant finally arrived.
However, before he could even enter the city gates, he was immediately imprisoned by the Imperial Guards.
Because Jia Yucun, who was escorted all the way from Jinling by fast horse, lived next door to Xue Pan!
Shouting hysterically, Xue Pan was filled with fear. The Embroidered Uniform Guard was no ordinary government office; those who entered the imperial prison and came out alive could be counted on two hands.
Seeing her brother being taken away, Xue Baochai was terrified, but she forced herself to remain calm and asked her mother to contact the Jia family.

And so, on the very first day of Xue's marriage into the Xue family, Jia Zheng was about to go to the imperial prison to try and take advantage of his nephew.
Upon returning from the Shenshu Camp, Zhang Cheng happened to see Lin Zhixiao returning home.
Looking at Lin Zhixiao, Zhang Cheng asked, "Where did Lin Zhixiao go?"

"Greetings, Master Jue! I'm here to see Second Master Lian."

Lin Zhixiao bowed to Zhang Cheng with utmost respect, for those who were disrespectful had their blood drawn!
Just as Lin Zhixiao finished speaking, Zhang Cheng exclaimed in surprise, "Xue Da Nao has entered the capital? He's really walked right into a trap, hahaha!"

However, after saying these words, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't pretend to be clueless. I asked you to come to my residence to be a steward a few days ago, why are you pretending that you have read my message and not replied!"

"Master Jue, I am a member of the Jia family. Naturally, I will go wherever the master tells me to go. How can I make decisions on my own!"

Lin Zhixiao quickly explained to Zhang Cheng.
"Alright, I'll go back and tell Uncle Zheng that you two, pretending to be deaf and dumb all day long, can't you see who the real boss is?"

As he rode away, Zhang Cheng laughed.
Because Lin Zhixiao is the only intelligent person in the Jia family, and he is also loyal. It would be a waste to leave him to the Rongguo Mansion!
