History's Strongest Son-In-Law Living With The In-Laws - Chapter 148
Chapter 148: Zhu Lanting spurts blood! I desire the peak!
Translator: 549690339
The governor of Nujiang County, Zhang Ji, did not immediately return to the county city. Instead, he found a courtyard by the Nujiang River and settled down.
Then, he stood by the window and stared at the surging River without moving.
!!
He had been in the officialdom for many years. Because he had no backing, his character was rigid, and he was not good at flattering, he could be said to be in a poor state in the first ten years of his career.
Back then, he was also a second-place scholar, and it could be said that he was proud of his success.
However, he had first polished himself at the Censorate for a few years, and then did odd jobs in the Secretariat for a few years.
It sounded like the unit was very awesome. It was the Imperial Censorate and the Secretariat.
However, they had no power at all. They could only write and copy every day, and anyone could order them around.
For the children of the rich and powerful, these positions were all gilded, but for ordinary people, they were completely used to Polish their edges.
The Secretariat, the Prime Minister’s Office.
In the end, in the third year of Zhang Ji’s imprisonment, the central and lower provinces were all disbanded, and the three provinces merged into the minister’s desk.
The officials who were doing odd jobs on a large scale were cleared out. Zhang Ji left the capital and became the city Lord of a small, remote city.
Several city Lords had been in office for more than ten years.
Until a few years ago, when the Earl of Dongjiang was killed, he was noticed by the king and Governor Zhu Rong.
He immediately soared to the sky and was promoted to Governor after a short period of golden treatment in the capital.
This was already a border official, almost the peak of the local officials.
Of course, there were provincial governors above them, but they were not necessarily permanent.
If they successfully destroyed the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu, he would be promoted to governor of Yanzhou.
This was his chance to leap through the Dragon Gate.
The position of governor of Yan Zhou was not to push out new policies, nor was it to be a ruthless official.
Instead, it was a test of Zhang Ji’s ability to see the big picture in military, politics, and diplomatic affairs.
Because Yan Zhou originally belonged to the Wu country, the mighty Duke Xiao Nan had joined the Yue country and brought this piece of land with him.
More than 20 years had passed, and the people of this region still had not completely submitted.
Merchants, spies, and brokers from Wu country, Chu country, and even the great Yan Empire were all active here.
It was a great test of one’s ability to be the governor of this place.
But once he did it, it meant that the next step would be to directly enter the core power of the capital and become the assistant Minister of the six ministries, followed by the Minister of the six ministries, and finally one of the Prime Ministers of the minister’s desk.
That was the peak of life.
The monarch treated him as a cruel official, as a knife.
However, he didn’t ask him to treat this ruthless official to the end. He wanted to really cultivate him to become the pillar of the country.
In the past, when he had been in a daze in the officialdom and had difficulty fulfilling his ambitions, Zhang Ji had often stayed by the Nu River and watched the surging waters.
His heart would soon burn again.
Once again, he was full of fighting spirit.
No matter how turbulent the political tide was, could it be compared to the surging River in front of them?
Moreover!
I, Zhang Ji, am the tide of the Nu River. The palace of the Earl of Xuanwu is just a rock in the river.
Even the toughest stone could not stop the shocking tide. One day, it would break apart, turn into sand, and roll away.
Zhang Chunhua came over with a bowl of medicine and said gently, ” “Father, the wind is strong by the river. Your body has not recovered yet.”
Zhang Ji took the bowl of medicine and drank it in one gulp.
Chunhua, I’m sorry. I made you kill your own feelings.
Zhang Chunhua shook her head. making love is just a pastime. It’s nothing compared to fate. Besides, what is emotion? it’s just an impulse to reproduce. In the end, it’s all for that moment of trembling.”
They couldn’t continue the conversation.
“Father, is Shen Lang’s victory over the Jinshan Island a bad thing for us?” Zhang Chunhua asked.
Zhang Ye said,”it’s intense!” Originally, I could have elegantly set up an ambush from all sides and used a relatively gentle method to end the fate of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu. There was no need to use overly intense means, and there was no need for a large-scale bloody battle. That’s what a successful politician should be like. If I kill so many people and destroy count Jin Zhuo’s family, then it would seem like I’m at a disadvantage.”
if I had a choice, I really don’t want to work with a beast like Qiu Tianwei. It will be a stain on my future political career.
“But now that the Jin family has won the battle for the gold Mountain Island, the situation has instantly changed from a political battle to a military battle. And my reputation will be even worse.”
although we won the fight for the gold Mountain Island, the situation that the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu is facing has not changed. Instead, it has become more dangerous and intense, right? ” Zhang Chunhua asked.
Zhang Ye said,”as long as the monarch’s determination remains the same, the crisis the Jin family is facing will never be resolved.” When you’re fighting against a Colossus, a small loss is actually the best ending. If you win in the end, the consequences will be even more tragic.”
These words were full of truth.
Just like on earth, a superpower was teaching a small country a lesson because of territorial conflicts.
If the great country won, then everyone would be happy.
If the Big Country lost, in order to save face and consolidate its international status, he would be angry and escalate the war into a war to destroy the country.
then I’ll wait until the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu is completely destroyed, ” Zhang Chunhua said. it won’t be too late for me to go and sleep with chenlang then.
Zhang Ye wished he could cover his ears, but he sighed and said,”That’s impossible. Previously, no matter who won or lost, I could still maintain a trace of dignity. However, the next moment, it was a battle of life and death, and corpses were strewn all over the field.”
……………………
Two hours later, Zhang Ji dragged his sick body and took a carriage to the palace of the Earl of Jinhai.
At this moment, the entire Palace of the Earl of Jinhai was in a mess.
Tang Lun was madly venting the anger in his heart.
The beautiful artificial mountain was directly smashed by his heavy sword.
The expensive porcelain was smashed into pieces.
The painting on the wall was also burned to ashes.
Four or five of the servants in the manor were killed by Tang Lun because they couldn’t avoid him in time. They died on the spot and no one dared to collect their bodies.
When Zhang Ji walked into the study.
Count of Jin hai, Tang Lun, waved his big sword and rushed over, shouting, ” “Are you looking for death? Didn’t I say that no one is allowed to enter?”
The next second.
When he realized that it was Zhang Ji, he immediately put down his big sword resentfully.
“Governor Zhang, what’s the matter?”
“Let me ask Jin Hai Bo, what are your plans next?” Zhang Ye said.
“What other plans do you have?” Tang Lun replied coldly. Of course, I’ll drag it out and not give it to you. I’ve signed the contract, but it’s impossible for me to hand over the island.”
Zhang Ye said,”even if that’s the case, how long can you drag this on for?” When the emperor’s decree comes, will you not hand over the island?”
Tang Lun sneered,”wait for the emperor’s decree?” Monkey year horse horse horse month, the king wishes that the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu would die.”
“Uncle Jin hai, can you listen to me?” Zhang Ye asked.
“Speak,” Tang Lun said.
Zhang che said, ” hand over the Jinshan Island immediately. Do the handover immediately. Do not destroy the iron-smelting workshop and the mine. Hand it over to the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.
When these words were said, count of Jin Hai Tang Lun said sternly, ” “Governor Zhang, are you crazy?”
“That way, the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu will be overjoyed and send a large number of people to the gold Mountain Island,” Zhang Ye said. The grade of the iron mine on the gazing Cliff Island is too low, and the Jin family is in debt. They will definitely restore the production of the island in the shortest time possible and invest a lot of manpower, material resources, financial resources, and military power on the island.”
“If I hand over the entire Gold Mountain Island to him, wouldn’t I be following his wishes?” Tang Lun asked. Governor Zhang, you’re really good at planning for Jin Zhuo.”
“Jin Hai Bo, all the steel weapons of the Pirate King Chou Tianwei’s Army were provided by your Jinshan Island, right?” Zhang Ye asked.
“Governor Zhang, you can’t talk about this kind of thing, there’s no such thing.”
How interesting. At this point in time, he was still trying to cover his ears?
Who didn’t know that the palace of the Earl of Jinhai and his enemy were on good terms? even Tang Lun could be considered as one of Qiu Tianwei’s white gloves in Yue country.
“After you hand over the island to Earl Jin Zhuo, sign a secret contract with the Pirate King Qiu Tianwei and give him 70% of the island,” Zhang che said. But if we need him to send troops to take over the gold Mountain Island, do you think Chou Tianwei will come?”
“Of course I will?” “Qiu Tianwei is a cruel and greedy big shark. If I give him the gold Mountain Island, will he give up on this fat piece of meat?” Tang Lun said.
In fact, Tang Lun had a secret that he didn’t tell.
Every year, 30% of the gold Mountain island’s iron would belong to Qiu Tianwei. This was a form of protection fee.
“Qiu Tianwei will lead the Army to the gold Mountain Island and fight against the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu,” Zhang Ye said. When the time comes, will the king send troops to help Earl Jin Zhuo destroy the Pirates?”
“Of course not, the king would love for Jin Zhuo to die. Qiu Tianwei’s Army is several times stronger than Jin Zhuo’s, so he will definitely win.”
“By that time, the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu had already invested a large amount of manpower, military power, and financial resources into the gold Mountain Island. How many people would die if they fought with Qiu Tianwei? How much financial resources would he lose? To Earl Jin Zhuo, Gold Mountain Island is not a piece of fat meat. Instead, it is a meat grinder that will make the Jin family shed their last drop of blood.”
“After that, Yin Yuan Association will demand a huge amount of debt from the Jin family and ask for the mortgage of the gazing Cliff Island. The Jin family will be finished.” In that case, not only was it useless for the Jin family to take back the gold Mountain Island, but it also accelerated their death?”
He said that.
However, the price he had to pay was to attract the greedy big shark, Qiu Tianwei, into the game.
Furthermore, this Pirate King was an uncontrollable factor.
It could be said that if it wasn’t for the fact that he had no other choice, Zhang Ji really didn’t want to go this far.
so, Jin Haibo, ” Zhang Ye said, ” please hand over the entire Jinshan Island to the Jin family.
Tang Lun, the count of Jin hai, frowned and said coldly,”Why should I hand it over? What good would it do me to exterminate the Jin clan? If I delay it for a year or two, the Jin family will be destroyed and the gold Mountain Island will still be in my hands.”
This was going to be an eye-opener.
I don’t mind destroying the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu, but if you want me to pay the price of the gold Mountain Island, then forget it.
Anyway, the new governance had nothing to do with him. It was Zhang Ji’s duty to destroy the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.
Zhang Ye frowned.
This uncle Jin hai and uncle Black Tortoise, one’s character was like heaven and the other was like Earth.
One was upright and resolute, with a noble character.
The other was vicious, fickle, greedy, and selfish.
“Jin Hai Bo, you must hand over the island in one piece, and you must do it in the shortest time possible,” Zhang Ji said lightly.
Hearing this, Jin Hai Bo laughed,”Oh?” I’d like to know why I have to listen to your orders. As the governor of Nujiang, you can’t control the palace of the Earl of Jinhai, right?”
“Because I will report this to the Emperor and force you to hand it over. If you don’t hand it over, then I don’t need to fight against the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu. I will use my new fist to directly hit you and destroy your Tang family first. After all, you are also an old noble.”
As soon as these words came out, Jin Hai Bo’s expression changed drastically, and he said sternly, ” “Zhang Ye, you dare?”
Zhang Ye said,”I’ve already sent the memorial to the capital. The emperor’s decree will be here soon.” If you dare to disobey, you can try not to hand over the island. I’d like to see if you’re as tough as Earl Jin Zhuo.”
Of course, Tang Lun’s bones were not as tough as Jin Zhuo’s. Otherwise, he would not have been so eager to betray the old aristocratic camp and join the monarch’s camp.
Zhang Ye, you’re so vicious, Yingluo, ” Tang Lun said in a trembling voice as he pointed at Zhang Ye.
Zhang Ye said,”let’s start with the villain before the gentleman. It’s better to make things clear.” Count Tang Lun, if I were you, I would definitely not wait for the king’s decree. I would definitely hand over the gold Mountain Island in advance, so as to show my loyalty and cooperation.”
“I’ll hand it over! I’ll hand it over! I’ll hand it over!”
…………………………………
Zhu Lanting of the mansion of the Lanshan Viscount galloped away on his horse.
In the short distance of a hundred miles, he had changed horses several times.
The closer he got to home, the faster his heart beat, and even his entire chest hurt.
Not only that, the closer he got to his home, the more suffocated he felt.
He was too worried.
The Jin family also had land, a Cliff Island, a Manor, and a Castle.
And he, Zhu Lanting, only had his family’s Manor!
There were tens of thousands of acres of land and plantations, beautiful gardens, and countless workshops.
This was the only business of his Zhu family.
It was a family business that had been accumulated for hundreds of years.
If anything happened, his family would be finished.
He would definitely be fine, definitely not.
I’m just scaring myself.
After going around the mountain in front of them, they would reach the valley where the Zhu Manor was located.
However, Zhu Lanting could not wait any longer. He abandoned his horse and used his Qinggong to climb the mountain.
He had not used his martial arts for many years, and now he was using it to climb a mountain.
Hurry, hurry, hurry up and run
Viscount Zhu Lanting had never put in so much effort, not even on the battlefield.
Finally, he climbed up the mountain.
He looked down.
Within the valley, there was a vast ocean.
The Zhu family’s Manor, Castle, workshop, farmland, and plantation were all swallowed by the flood.
The tallest tower in the family castle now only had its tip above the water.
The flood had already subsided, and they were still in the soaking stage. On the surface of the water, there were all kinds of ruins floating.
It’s finished!
It was all over!
The Zhu family’s only business was destroyed.
A hundred years of family business.
The glory, splendor, and wealth of my Zhu family are all over!
It was all ruined!
“Ah!!!!!!!!”
Viscount Zhu Lanting wailed in pain.
He was like an injured wild dog.
It was an unprecedented tragedy, an unprecedented mournfulness.
Shen lang, I will definitely tear you into pieces. I will tear you into pieces!
Viscount Zhu Lanting couldn’t take the huge blow anymore. He had used up all his energy to shout, and his chest was torn apart.
He felt a sharp pain.
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
Viscount Zhu Lanting’s body fell and rolled down the hill.
……………………
After a whole day!
Shen lang and the rest then returned to the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.
His mother-in-law had been waiting for him at the gate of the castle with a group of people.
When she saw Shen lang and the rest, she immediately rushed out.
Earl Jin Zhuo was excited and happy. He broke the restraint in his heart and wanted to tell the good news to his lover.
Jin mucong also quickened his pace and rushed forward. He wanted to proudly tell his mother that he had turned the tide and won the battle for the Jinshan Island. He had also completely crushed Tang Yun.
Mother, I want to let you know that your son is not a waste. Your son has contributed to the family.
However,
Count Jin Zhuo missed.
Jin mucong opened his arms awkwardly and embraced the air.
His mother-in-law rushed to Shen lang and hugged his shoulders. “Aiyo! My good son, my good langer!”
“My son is really amazing.”
“My son is too amazing.”
the reason why our family won the battle on the gold Mountain Island is all because of my son, Shen lang.
fortunately, I have my son. Otherwise, with your father-in-law and Jin mucong, I don’t know how much they would have lost.
“Let mother take a good look.” His mother-in-law stared at Shen Lang’s face and noticed a bite mark. Just as she was about to cry out in concern, she immediately swallowed her words and said with heartache, ” “It’s only been two days, but my son has already slimmed down.”
Perhaps these teeth marks were the fun between the couple?
Perhaps Mulan also had it, but it was not visible on the surface.
As his mother-in-law, I don’t want to say anything about this.
Count Jin Zhuo was speechless.
Jin mucong really wanted to cry.
I obviously contributed to it too.
I’m clearly the one who needs the most praise, right? Why did you ignore me? Was I picked up?
Does brother-in-law need praise? Did he lack attention?
I’ve been copying and memorizing books for the past month. Did I have it easy?
Seeing fat otaku in such a miserable state, even the stone-hearted Earl Jin Zhuo let go of his reservations and patted Jin mucong’s back. “You’ve also worked hard.”
Fat otaku’s tears gushed out.
“Father, I told you ten years ago that I have a wife. Where is my wife now? Where is he?”
…………………………
Jin Hui and Shen thirteen had already returned.
He knelt on the ground quietly.
“Son-in-law, I’m glad we didn’t fail our mission. Thirteen and I have completed our mission.”
Shen lang nodded.
Something was wrong!
This was because there was a woman by Jin Hui’s side, a beautiful woman.
The woman was covered in injuries and had a beautiful face. Her eyes were extremely stubborn as she looked at Shen lang without showing any weakness.
Most importantly, both her hands and feet were tied up, and her mouth was also covered with a cloth.
“Jin Hui, you can’t get a wife, so you took the opportunity to snatch one back?” Shen lang said.
