Do you want our entire Chen family to be wiped out!"After finishing his words, Chen Jingchuan knelt down before Li Chen and cried out, "Your Highness, the prince, I am a failure as a father, please sh...Chapter 1331: It's a Pity

Zhang Biwu and Wang Zhanguai passed through the front hall and came to the backyard. In a secluded cellar, hundreds of jars of pickled vegetables were neatly arranged, both new and old. The air in the entire cellar was filled with a pleasant aroma of pickles.

After Wang, the shop owner, respectfully invited Zhang Biwu inside, he turned around and closed the cellar door.

With a creak, the door slammed shut, plunging the room into darkness. The air grew thick and heavy.

Turning around again, Wang's face was no longer the fawning smile it had been before. Instead, he looked serious.

On the contrary, Zhang Biwu's face was a little uneasy.

"Lord Zhang, if it's not an important matter, you should not come to see me in person. Once I am exposed, it will affect the Grand Prince's plan!"

Wang Zhanggui lowered his voice and said in a deep tone.

Zhang Biwu immediately replied, "I know the rules, but this time there is indeed something important that I need to report to you personally."

Wang Zhanggui raised an eyebrow, beckoning Zhang Bwu closer and asking him to explain in detail.

Zhang Biwu didn't hesitate, and told everything about his communication plan with Zhao Xuanji.

Wang Zhang's face was as deep as water, carefully committing each word to memory. After listening, he cross-referenced every word with Zhang Bwu, ensuring accuracy before saying to Zhang Bwu: "Zhang sir, this matter is very important. I believe the prince will be very pleased with you after hearing about it."

Zhang Biwu gave a wry smile and said, "Thanks to the prince's guidance, I have successfully pledged allegiance to the East Palace. However, as I have only just arrived, the Crown Prince does not yet fully trust me. But in the future, as long as the prince starts a rebellion, I will definitely do my best to help. Please be sure to let the prince know this."

Wang Zhanggui said: "Zhang's loyalty, the prince naturally trusts, otherwise the prince would not have spent a huge price to help Mr. Zhang deal with the aftermath."

"Please rest assured, Zhang-daren. From now on, the prince will use some pawns to push you to a higher position. But before that, Zhang-daren must think carefully. If you want to ascend, you must eliminate one provincial governor."

Zhang Biwu's face darkened.

Now the imperial court has three ministries, with three ministers each.

One is Zhao Xuanji from the Ministry of Officials. He cannot be moved, and he won't be moved.

There is also Dantai Jingzhi, this person although belongs to the East Palace, but he is aloof from worldly affairs, even Zhao Xuanji is unwilling to provoke him, so he cannot be moved either.

Then he could only turn to the remaining men under his command, his closest friend, Fu Yuzhi.

A fleeting image of Fu Yuzhi earnestly advising him at his residence crossed his mind, even offering to relinquish her position as provincial governor. Though it was a ploy, Fu Yuzhi remained oblivious, and Zhang Bwu could sense the sincerity in her words.

Unfortunately...

"Tell the Prince, I am ready. He may attack at any time."

"Wang Guan, the shopkeeper nodded expressionlessly. He suddenly changed his tone and raised it an octave, saying: "Zhang sir, these jars of pickled vegetables will be personally delivered to your residence by me immediately. They are all prepared according to Lord Zhao's taste, and I guarantee you will like them."

Hearing this, Zhang Biwu knew that the conversation had come to an end.

He nodded slightly and replied, "With your guarantee, this old man can rest assured. So it is settled then. Have these jars of preserved vegetables delivered later, I shall be leaving now."

As they talked, the cellar door creaked open. Zhang Biwu walked in front, while Wang Zhanguan followed behind, bending slightly and smiling ingratiatingly.icion on King Zhao is like mud splashed on one's trousers – it can't be washed away no matter what.""Hahaha!"Li Yinhu, who was already on edge, was completely driven to madness by Zhou Ping'an's final...
