After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 238 One Pot
"Since Elder Zhang minds, I can't be unreasonable."

"We still have to consider Old Master Zhang's feelings, huh?"

The more the Prefect of Jingzhao spoke, the more the old patriarch Zhang nodded in agreement.

Yes! That's right! We have to consider his feelings, don't we?
It was clear that the old patriarch Zhang was almost completely swayed by the Prefect of Jingzhao's few casual words.

Just as he was about to put on airs!
The Prefect of Jingzhao suddenly changed the subject: "Then..."

He glanced at the constables who were already poised to act and chuckled, "Please, Elder Zhang, come back with us!"

"In that case, if we actually find out something, it won't stop you from crocodile tears of feigned compassion, Elder Zhang, will it?"

The old patriarch of the Zhang family was so angry that his face turned green.

"you……"

He clutched his chest, as if he was about to choke on his breath.

The Prefect of Jingzhao exaggeratedly jumped two steps to the side and shouted loudly at Gao Cheng, "Lord Gao! You saw it all! You must testify for me later!"

“I was quite far away from him just now, I didn’t even touch him, so I can’t say that I blew a breath and scared him to death.”

"Could it be that the once imposing Lord Zhang is actually just a paper tiger?"

"Oh my! Could it be a paper effigy that was forgotten to be burned in someone's graveyard and has come out of nowhere?"

The Prefect of Jingzhao muttered to himself, "The Master did not speak of strange phenomena, physical prowess, disorder, or spirits!"

Gao Cheng rolled his eyes, utterly speechless.

ill!

He gave his deputy a look: "Take everyone from the Zhang family away."

At this point, the collateral branches of the Zhang family could no longer pretend to be dead.

The leaders immediately jumped out and shouted their grievances: "It has nothing to do with us!"

"We are merely a collateral branch of the Zhang family, and we have never participated in any of their criminal activities!" "Today, we only came to deliver the news out of goodwill, because we discovered that the young master of the main family was buried in the ancestral graves, that's all!"

"From both a moral and legal standpoint, they shouldn't have arrested us!"

One of the collateral relatives, who was holding a grudge because of Zhang Lao Er's questioning, shouted loudly, "Hey patriarch, could it be that the young master was deliberately hidden in the ancestral grave by you?"

"Just because he's an orphan with no one to protect him, you treat him like this! And now you're using this to deliberately lure us here..."

"You didn't already anticipate that soldiers would come today, so you wanted to push us out to take the blame, did you?"

"You're really shameless."

The old patriarch Zhang was thoroughly angered after being verbally abused.

The Prefect of Jingzhao couldn't help but look at Gao Cheng and ask if it was still necessary to bring these collateral relatives back with them.

Gao Cheng remained expressionless, his voice cold.

"Take them all away."

Deputy Wang immediately led his men forward and tied up all the cursing and swearing associates.

The Prefect of Jingzhao twitched slightly as he watched his deputy and others pull out thick hemp ropes.

He was unsure whether Gao Cheng had done it intentionally or unintentionally.

If it were unintentional, who would deliberately prepare so many thick hemp ropes to carry around?
The Imperial Guards probably don't usually need to use hemp ropes, right?

and so……

Gao Cheng just wants to take this opportunity to wipe out the Zhang family in one fell swoop!

hiss!
This discovery made the Prefect of Jingzhao gasp in surprise.

At the same time, I really can't understand why.

why?
I've never heard of Gao Cheng having any grudge against the Zhang family.
