Chapter 177: Prince, do you want to take action with the Za family?

Southern Xinjiang.

The palace of the patron king.

The patron king Zhou Zhan sat on the main seat, and two generals in armor stood beside him.

These two generals in armor are the two adopted sons of the patron king, Yi Yi and Zhou Qi.

The patron king has a total of seven adopted sons, all of whom are orphans adopted by the patron king.

And sitting on the right hand below is a white-faced eunuch dressed in the uniform of a governor.

This white-faced eunuch is none other than Cao Zhengchun.

After Cao Zhengchun received the news that the Zhennan Army had killed more than 30 factory guards who were chasing Yuan Ziming and others, he rushed to southern Xinjiang in person without stopping.

As the chief governor of Dongchang, Cao Zhengchun would never allow anyone to challenge his authority in Dongchang and kill his own people without doing anything.

Behind Cao Zhengchun stood four factory guards wearing flying eagle uniforms.

Cao Zhengchun raised his eyes and glanced at the patron king who was on the throne: "Your Majesty, you should know the privileges of my Dongchang. The people in my Dongchang can't be killed by anyone who wants to."

"Let's not talk about the remnants of the Yuan family. Let's just say that the people under the prince's command dared to surround and kill more than 30 factory guards in my east factory without asking any questions."

"Does the prince know what the consequences of this are?"

Cao Zhengchun looked at the patron king and said softly.

It is true that the patron king is one of the two pillars of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but this does not mean that the patron king is qualified to challenge the authority of his Dongchang.

"Director Cao, this is all a misunderstanding."

"The factory guards of Dongchang went out in plain clothes. My generals thought they were horse thieves pretending to be from Dongchang!"

"Governor Cao should also know that in addition to the southern barbarians outside the pass, there are also many horse thieves in southern Xinjiang, who often harm the people of southern Xinjiang."

Backer King Zhou Zhan explained.

Originally, according to the identity and status of the patron king, there was no need to explain anything to a eunuch.

But the eunuch Cao Zhengchun was extraordinary. Cao Zhengchun was not only the governor of the East Factory, but he was also half-step to heaven in terms of his own strength.

In addition, it is true that he killed someone from Dongchang last week, which is wrong.

Therefore, no matter from which aspect, backer king Zhou Zhan had to explain himself to Cao Zhengchun.

At the very least, it can be explained openly.

"Yeah?"

When Cao Zhengchun heard this, he smiled softly.

"There is still one living member of the Za family."

"Your Majesty, where is he now?"

Cao Zhengchun was able to receive the news because it was delivered in time by the living factory guard.

Cao Zhengchun simply did not believe the explanation and rhetoric given by his patron king Zhou Zhan.

What kind of thief is pretending?

This explanation only fooled Cao Zhengchun, and it was still far from being able to fool Cao Zhengchun.

When he saw the living factory guard, Cao Zhengchun wanted to see what other explanation the backer king could give.

"Governor Cao, I'm so sorry."

"Because the people under my command were too heavy-handed, the factory guard, I, tried my best to treat him, but in the end he still couldn't be saved."

The patron king said with a pity look on his face.

The factory guard who was still alive suggested to the patron king to deal with it on Monday, but the patron king did not agree at the time.

But later Zhou Qi failed to catch up with Yuan Ziming and the others.

In order to avoid subsequent troubles and to solidify the reasons for this explanation, the patron king agreed to Monday's suggestion and dealt with the factory guard.

Now that Cao Zhengchun asked about it, the patron king couldn't help but feel happy. Fortunately, the factory guard took care of it.

Otherwise, it would be really difficult for Cao Zhengchun to resolve the matter when he saw the factory guard.

And people like patron king Zhou Zhan have never been soft-hearted people.

Hearing the words of his patron king Zhou Zhan, Cao Zhengchun's face suddenly became ugly.

The factory guard was able to pass the news to Cao Zhengchun, which directly shows that even if the factory guard was seriously injured, he should not be unable to save him.

But now the patron king said he couldn't save her.

This was obviously because he was afraid that he, the governor of the East Factory, might be silenced when he saw the factory guard.

"Haha, the prince is really good at it."

Cao Zhengchun sneered again and again.

"But, does the prince think that this way he can find an excuse to fool my Dongchang?"

"Your Majesty seems to have forgotten what my Dongchang's privileges are."

"Behead first and report later, imperial authority has granted you."

Cao Zhengchun looked at the patron king Zhou Zhan on the throne and said word by word.

Zhou Zhan's expression changed.

Of course he understood what Cao Zhengchun meant.

That means Cao Zhengchun's Dongchang has the right to kill first and then play later.

Their Zhennan Army and him, the patron king, are also within the privileges of Dongchang.

The patron king Zhou Zhan looked at Cao Zhengchun and said, "Supervisor Cao misunderstood. I really tried my best to save that factory guard."

"However, I will give Governor Cao and Dongchang an explanation for this matter.'

Having said this, the backer king Zhou Zhan glanced at Zhou Qi who was standing next to him: "Old Qi, you accidentally killed your colleagues in Dongchang without understanding the situation."

"Whatever the reason, your guilt is unforgivable."

"From now on, I, the king, will revoke all your positions as a general and demote you to a soldier in the Kupu camp. You will be punished for your crimes and meritorious service."

"Why don't you apologize to Governor Cao quickly?"

Backer King Zhou Zhan looked at Zhou Qi and said sternly.

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Zhou Qi.

The backer king Zhou Zhan hoped that this would stop Cao Zhengchun from pursuing the case and resolve the matter smoothly.

Zhou Qi reluctantly took a step forward, raised his hands to Cao Zhengchun and said, "The general mistook the people from Dongchang for being horse thieves and accidentally killed the people from Dongchang. Please forgive me, Governor Cao."

Facing Zhou Qi's apologetic attitude, a cold light flashed in Cao Zhengchun's eyes.

Is this an apology?

This is obviously perfunctory.

It seems that his Dongchang is so talkative that people mistakenly think that his Dongchang is easy to fool and perfunctory.

Cao Zhengchun's face turned cold, and his figure instantly disappeared from his seat and appeared in front of Zhou Qi.

Cao Zhengchun grabbed Zhou Qi's neck and stared at Zhou Qi coldly: "It turns out that you led the cavalry to surround and kill more than 30 factory guards in my east factory."

The discovery of this scene made the expressions of the patron king and Zhou Yiyi change.

Neither the patron king nor Zhou Yiyi expected that Cao Zhengchun would take action as soon as he said so.

"Cao Zhengchun, what do you want to do?"

Seeing Zhou Qi being choked by Cao Zhengchun, backer king Zhou Zhan immediately stood up and stared at Cao Zhengchun with an ugly expression.

Next to him, Zhou Yiyi also took a step forward and stared at Cao Zhengchun closely.

Cao Zhengchun's speed was so fast that no one could react.

Especially Zhou Qi, before he understood what was going on, Cao Zhengchun pinched his neck. He had difficulty breathing and his face turned red.

Zhou Qi struggled, trying to break free from Cao Zhengchun's grasp.

Unfortunately, no matter how Zhou Qi struggled, Cao Zhengchun's hands were always squeezing his neck.

Moreover, Cao Zhengchun's hand pinched his neck harder and harder, and Zhou Qi's breathing became more and more difficult.

Seeing the coldness in Cao Zhengchun's eyes, Zhou Qi seemed to feel the intention to die, and his heart sank to the bottom.

Cao Zhengchun pinched Zhou Qi's neck and looked at his backer Wang Zhou Zhan who stood up. "Your Majesty, haven't you seen what the Za family wants to do?"

"The Zajia just said that not everyone in Dongchang can be killed."

"Your Majesty wants to fool the Zajia family and Dongchang, so I'm afraid your Majesty will be disappointed."

"Since the prince doesn't want to give the Zajia a satisfactory explanation, then the Zajia can only come and get it in person."

Cao Zhengchun said coldly.

When the backer king Zhou Zhan heard Cao Zhengchun's words, his expression changed: "How dare you."

Backer king Zhou Zhan already understood what Cao Zhengchun wanted to do.

The backer king Zhou Zhan finished his words.

The corner of Cao Zhengchun's mouth curled up with a trace of disdain, and he exerted force on his hand.

"puff."

A mouthful of blood spurted out.

Zhou Qi's eyes widened and he looked at Cao Zhengchun in disbelief.

Zhou Qi did not expect that Cao Zhengchun would really dare to kill him, but he would kill him in front of his patron king.

Also in disbelief is the patron king Zhou Zhan.

The patron king Zhou Zhan really didn't expect that Cao Zhengchun would dare to kill his patron's adopted son in the palace of his patron king in front of his patron king.

"Cao Zhengchun, do you dare to kill my generals in front of me?"

Seeing Cao Zhengchun strangle Zhou Qi to death, the backer king Zhou Zhan burst into anger and stared at Cao Zhengchun.

The aura of a great master burst out, approaching Cao Zhengchun.

Next to him, Zhou Yiyi stared at Cao Zhengchun with an unkind expression.

There is a tendency to take action directly if there is any disagreement.

"snort."

"My lord, do you want to take action against the Za family?"

Cao Zhengchun looked at his backer king Zhou Zhan and snorted coldly.

It was Cao Zhengchun's cold snort that directly wiped out the great master momentum that his backer king Zhou Zhan had erupted.

Backer King Zhou Zhan's expression changed, he looked at Cao Zhengchun and said angrily, "Cao Zhengchun, do you know how much contribution Zhou Qi has made for me, Great Zhou?"

"Do you know how many barbarians died at his hands?"

"Even if he kills the factory guard of your east factory, he still won't die because of his merits."

"But you killed him, and I will definitely give you a copy of it to Your Majesty."

The patron king looked at Cao Zhengchun and said with a gloomy expression.

Zhou Qi was his adopted son and a general of the Zhennan Army. He had made great contributions to the Zhennan Army.

How many barbarians died at the hands of Zhou Qi?

In the view of the backer king Zhou Zhan, even if Zhou Qi killed the factory guard in the East Factory, he would still not die with these achievements!

Cao Zhengchun casually threw Zhou Qi's body on the ground and returned to his original seat; "Gong is merit, fault is fault. How can the merits and demerits be offset by each other?"

"Besides, the Zajia family doesn't know what merits Zhou Qi has accomplished, but the Zajia family knows a little about what Zhou Qi has done."

"We at Dongchang never give people reasons for doing things, but this time, considering how many years your patron king has been guarding southern Xinjiang for His Majesty, the Zajia family will give the patron king a reason."

After Cao Zhengchun sat down, he waved to the factory guard standing behind him.

One of the four factory guards standing behind Cao Zhengchun immediately stepped out.

The factory guard held a note in his hand and sent it to patron king Zhou Zhan.

Backer Wang Zhou Zhan frowned and took the note from the factory guard's hand without knowing why.

The note is full of words.

Backer King Zhou Zhan opened it and glanced at it.

It was this glance that made the patron king Zhou Zhan's face become even more gloomy and ugly.

After reading the content on the note, the patron king Zhou Zhan powerlessly sat on the main seat again.

In addition to his extremely gloomy expression, patron king Zhou Zhan no longer had the aggressive aura he had just now.

"Your Majesty, you have also seen the things."

"Some of the things Zhou Qi did, even if he died a few times, it would be enough."

"He dared to kill people from my Dongchang. By killing him like this, the Za family has given him an advantage."

Cao Zhengchun glanced at the patron king on the throne and said coldly.

"Hmph, no matter how guilty Zhou Qi is, he is still my adopted son and the general of the Zhennan Army."

"It should be handled by me and the Zhennan Army. It is not the turn of Governor Cao to take over."

"This king will definitely consult with the Governor about this matter."

The patron king said coldly.

If it weren't for Cao Zhengchun's strength, backer king Zhou Zhan would not be his opponent at all.

I am afraid that the patron king Zhou Zhan has already taken action to suppress Cao Zhengchun.

Dare to kill the general of his Zhennan Army in the palace of his patron king, in front of his patron king.

He really didn't take his patron king seriously at all.

"The prince wants to join the family, the prince does whatever he wants."

"The Zajia family will also report this matter to His Majesty truthfully."

"Your Majesty, you should think about how to explain to Your Majesty why Zhou Qi prevented the factory guards from pursuing the remnants of the Yuan family!"

After Cao Zhengchun finished speaking, he stood up and left the palace of the patron king directly.

Zhou Qi, the man who dared to lead troops to surround and kill his Dongchang factory guards, had already been dealt with by Cao Zhengchun.

The matter has been dealt with.

Then there is no need for Cao Zhengchun to stay.

The four factory guards behind Cao Zhengchun also left closely behind Cao Zhengchun.

Seeing Cao Zhengchun striding away like this, the faces of the patron king and Zhou Yiyi both looked ugly.

In the palace of his patron king, he killed the general of his Zhennan Army, and he could still leave in such a swagger.

This can no longer be described as crazy.

After Cao Zhengchun left, Zhou Zhan looked at his backer king Zhou Zhan on Monday and said, "Father, this Cao Zhengchun is too arrogant."

"You killed Lao Qi in front of us and didn't say anything, yet you are still so domineering."

"Can this matter just be settled?"

"No matter what Lao Qi said, he was a member of our Zhennan Army. Cao Zhengchun killed Lao Qi without saying anything. He didn't take our Zhennan Army seriously at all."

Zhou Zhou said with an ugly face.

I have long heard that Dongchang is very arrogant. I had no idea before Monday that I don’t know how arrogant Dongchang is.

But today, Monday actually saw it.

No one has ever dared to kill a general of the Southern Army in the palace of the patron king in front of the patron king.

Undoubtedly, Cao Zhengchun was the first.

When the patron king Zhou Zhan heard what he said on Monday, he sighed: "What else can we do if we forget about it?"

"Dongchang already has special privileges, and Lao Qi actually killed the factory guard in Dongchang."

"Even if I join Cao Zhengchun, it will probably be useless."

Having said this, the backer king Zhou Zhan handed the note he just took from the factory guard to Yi Yiyi; "You should also take a look at this!"

"I didn't expect that Lao Qi would do so many shameful things behind my back as my adoptive father."

"It's really a waste of my love for him."

Backer King Zhou Zhan said quietly.

On Monday, I was also a little curious about what the note from the factory guard to the patron king Zhou Zhan contained.

Now seeing the patron king handing the note to him, Yi Yi took it over without saying anything, opened it and read it.

After reading the contents on the note, Monday's face looked a little ugly.
