The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 20 Zhan Zhao: "Why are you checking me?"

The stars are high in the sky, the water is flowing,
The boat slowly reached the shore.

Chai Wenyi walked down with a cigar in his hand and shouted angrily, "Chai Wu, Chai Wu, where have you been?"

"Prince, I'm here!"

Shouting loudly, Chai Wu ran forward quickly.

Looking at Chai Wu, Chai Wenyi could not help but shout angrily: "If you lose this prince again next time, I will demote you to Zhuangzi!"

"I don't dare, Prince!"

Looking at Chai Wenyi aggrievedly, Chai Wu hurriedly explained,

After Chai Wenyi boarded the sedan chair, he looked at Zhang Cheng meaningfully.

Although the Chai family enjoyed "the emperor's grace and prosperity" in the Song Dynasty, they did not have any "rights".
Because the officials in the court completely regarded the Chai family as a "jinx".
How could Xiao Shang Wang and Chai Wenyi not know the Zhao family's plan?
But in order to keep the Chai family alive, Chai Wenyi had to do those "outrageous" things.

When he met Zhang Cheng who took the initiative to "approach" him today, Chai Wenyi originally planned to disguise himself as a playboy, but he found that the other party was just like himself, a person who was worrying!

"How was your chat, cousin?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng curiously, Situ Yaozu asked,
"That prince is not a simple person!"

Zhang Cheng spoke with a smile on his face, threw the cigar in his hand to the ground and crushed it.
"The Chai family is a big family that attracts the wind. We are cooperating with them. Although we are not afraid of Mr. Bao, some things are still too dangerous!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Situ Yaozu immediately became serious.
"What are you afraid of? Even if the sky falls, don't we still have the Chai family to support us? Besides, the interests of Ren Ya are not as simple as they seem!"

Looking at Situ Yaozu, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but squint his eyes.

How much is a person worth? This is a question worth pondering.

During the Song Dynasty, it was not easy to find a free indentured slave, after all, only big families could afford it!
But Zhang Cheng is different. He plays the game of small profits but quick turnover.

Ten taels of silver are expensive, five taels will be ok, five taels is more, two taels of silver, you can bring two and put them at the door!

With the help of the Chai family's maritime trade routes, he could completely plunder people from Wa Island, South Asia and other places, fully liberate the shortage of civilian labor, and make plans for what to do next.

But rebellion is not an easy thing, even if the target of his rebellion is his cheap father-in-law!
Anyone who can be won over will be on the chessboard!

If we were to ask who is the most unhappy in the Zhao Song Dynasty, it would undoubtedly be the Chai family!

Instead of expecting the Chai family to be loyal to Zhao Song, it would be better to expect the Liao Kingdom to return the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun!
Three days later, the Imperial College and the Honglu Temple discovered something was wrong. More than a dozen tribute students from Japan were missing.

When they encountered such a thing, they immediately chose to report the case to Kaifeng Prefecture.
Faced with this kind of situation, Zhan Zhao, as the royal cat, of course appeared.
However, after careful investigation, Zhan Zhao discovered one thing, that is, he was the one being investigated.

Because he was the only one who led the yamen runners out that day!

Thinking that there was no record of this in Kaifeng Prefecture, Zhan Zhao began to sweat.

At this moment, a yamen runner came to Zhan Zhao and said, "Guard Zhan, I have something to say!"

"you say!"

Looking at the yamen runner seriously, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but become serious.

"It is said that in the past few days, the Chai family's business has transported a lot of people out."

Reminding Zhan Zhao, the yamen runner couldn't help but become serious.

When Zhan Zhao heard the name of the Chai Family Company, he was stunned.

Because it is more dangerous to investigate the Chai family than to investigate myself!

Because that is a golden medal of immunity from death!

Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao quickly reported the result to Bao Zheng.
When Bao Zheng learned that the missing Japanese tribute students were actually related to the Chai family, his face turned black.
"Sir, if this matter involves the Chai family, it will be difficult to deal with!" Looking at Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce beside him quickly became serious.
To be an official in the Song Dynasty, you must know one thing:

That is, you can criticize the emperor, but you absolutely cannot criticize the Chai family!

The emperor is kind and righteous, he may not necessarily target you, but the Chai family will definitely target you!
"No, this matter involves the Imperial College. I must report it to His Majesty in person!"

Looking at Gongsun Ce seriously, Bao Heizi became angry and went into the palace immediately.

In the back garden, Zhao Zhen was enjoying a quiet moment with Concubine Pang, but at this moment, the eunuch beside him said, "Your Majesty, Minister Bao wants to see you!"

"Bao Zheng? Why is he here again? Is there anything big happening in the capital today?"

Asking the eunuch, Zhao Zhen also spoke quickly,
"More than a dozen Imperial College students are missing, and they are Japanese."

Hearing Zhao Zhen's question, the eunuch told him what had happened recently.

"Who is involved?"

Turning his head to look at the eunuch beside him, Zhao Zhen knew that if the other party did not have a background, Bao Zheng would definitely not come to him.

“Chai, Chai family!”

The eunuch looked at Zhao Zhen with a twitching mouth, and was speechless.
"Tell Mr. Bao that I caught a cold and disappeared!"

After saying this, Zhao Zhen took Concubine Pang's hand and ran away.
Because of the words of their ancestors, the Chai family cannot touch it!

But Bao Zheng had a bad temper, and it was really unfair for him to be the emperor!
There were only a dozen Japanese people. Could he really issue an order personally and ask the Chai family to bring them back?

After waiting for a long time in the palace, Bao Zheng gradually realized that something was wrong.
At this moment, the eunuch came out and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Mr. Bao, your majesty has caught a cold and is not suitable to see people!"

"Feeling cold?"

After hearing the eunuch's words, Bao Zheng was dumbfounded.

Because it's a sunny day, why are you catching a cold?
Thinking that Zhao Zhen was avoiding him, Bao Zheng cupped his hands and said, "I know!"

After Bao Zheng left, Zhao Zhen sent people to the Imperial College and the Honglu Temple to tell them to shut up.

After all, matters like the disappearance of the Japanese should be handled among themselves!
Just when Zhao Zhen played a trick of not being able to see and then looking back to take out the money, Bao Zheng was dumbfounded in Kaifeng Prefecture because there was no one to report the case!
The next day, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but sigh when he heard about this from the yamen runner.
Because the Chai family is so hated by everyone, even Zhao Zhen is afraid of them!
Chai Wenyi: Isn’t this your fault?
Zhang Cheng: Ah, is that me?

After investigating the case last time and checking himself, Zhan Zhao felt that there must be something wrong.

So he decided to investigate privately.
After several visits, he discovered that this group of Japanese tribute students had actually dealt with someone.

In a teahouse in Bianliang,

Zhang Cheng looked at Zhan Zhao in front of him with a puzzled look in his eyes and said, "No, why did you come to see me? I have finished my training!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Zhan Zhao said seriously: "Those Japanese tribute students disappeared after meeting you!"

"So? Why are you looking for me instead of the Chai family?"

Looking at Zhan Zhao with a smile on his face, Zhang Cheng also smiled.
"I think this matter must have something to do with you!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng seriously, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but become serious.

"But you have no evidence, Guard Zhan! Besides, my father is Zhang Erhe!"

Standing up, Zhang Cheng left with a big smile on his face, ignoring Zhan Zhao's sharp gaze.
Just as he said, Zhan Zhao had no evidence, and those Japanese had long been sent to the Northwest Zhongjia Army to be slaves.

Humming a little tune, Zhang Cheng walked forward with his hands behind his back.
Because the days ahead will surely be interesting.
It’s not scary to be dark under the lamp. What’s scary is that you know it’s dark under the lamp but you can’t find a way to break it!
The biggest conspiracy in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Chai family took the blame!
　When I won the Golden Elixir last year, I had kidney stones, but I didn’t expect that bladder stones came first. In the next few days, I will update at least three times. I will have the surgery as soon as possible. Please believe in the ability of the Executive Director!
