Chapter 98 Cooperation
"Becoming a king?"
Thinking of the young man with sinister eyes, Jun Heng frowned.
A hundred years ago, Daliang sent a princess to marry to Beiliang, and since then, the two countries have been living in harmony.
Ten years ago, the State of Zhou pretended to be the royal family of Daliang and sent people to Beiliang to kidnap the young crown prince Lu Yuzhou. After Jun Heng learned about this, he immediately sent Ji Zunxing, who was still at the border at the time, to clear up the matter.
Although Lu Yuzhou was later sent back to the Beiliang royal family safely, some people were still dissatisfied with this matter.
For example, the second brother of Crown Prince Lu Yuzhou, who is now King Cheng Lu Feng.
Lu Feng always felt that if Daliang had not taken action at that time, but let Lu Yuzhou die on the battlefield, then he would definitely be the one sitting on the throne now.
It was also because of this incident that a force hostile to Daliang began to split from Beiliang.
It would be fine if Beiliang King Lu Yuzhou was in good health, but once King Cheng Lu Feng died, this force targeting Daliang would be completely gone.
But no, Beiliang King Lu Yuzhou was in very poor health, especially after he ascended the throne in recent years. He became worse day by day. Sometimes he had to sit on the bed to review the memorials from ministers.
Originally, because of Lu Yuzhou's presence, Beiliang and Daliang had a good relationship. Even though the Zhou Kingdom in the south had always been eyeing the fat piece of meat of Daliang, it had not found a suitable opportunity to strike.
But things are different now. If Lu Yuzhou dies and Lu Feng comes to power, then Beiliang may indeed cooperate with Zhou State to attack Daliang from both sides.
If it were before, Jun Heng would not be afraid, after all, Daliang still had Ji Zunxing and several other generals.
but now……
After losing Ji Chenxing, Jun Heng suddenly became less confident in Ji Zunxing.
"What's the situation in the north this year?" Jun Heng asked.
The disaster inspector's voice was filled with worry. "Floods in the south and drought in the north, just like in previous years, Your Majesty."
Jun Heng's face was solemn. "Okay, I understand. You go down first."
Daliang used to have good weather every year, but for some unknown reason droughts and floods have occurred frequently in recent years.
After the disaster inspector left, Jun Heng looked at the screen not far away and sighed insecurely, "Is it because I am the emperor who is not doing a good job? Chen Xing, if you have learned anything in that world that can help me, or if you have any instructions for me, please feel free to give me some advice."
In modern times, the show heard the sound of "ding ding ding" doorbell from the villa.
"It's the police." The staff member looked at the surveillance camera and asked Liang Sheng, "Should we open the door?"
"Nonsense, of course I have to open it." Although Liang Sheng was angry, he still stood up and prepared to open the door himself.
Regarding the mistakes made by Qi Ziyan, Ji Huaiyu chose to contact the court directly for summons instead of calling the police again.
Although Liang Sheng's heart was beating fast, he still opened the door with the hope that everything would be fine.
To be honest, this is the first time that he alarmed the police twice while filming a seven-day variety show.
After opening the door to the show, Liang Sheng asked directly, "Who are you looking for?"
The police showed his ID and a photo, "This person should be here with you, right?"
Liang Sheng looked at the photo and found that the person in it was Zhang Tian. Liang Sheng had a good impression of Zhang Tian. When collecting information about his identity, he had a general idea that Zhang Tian was a graduate of a prestigious university and his character should be reliable.
But now it seems that there are no good people associated with Qi Ziyan.
Facing the police, Liang Sheng controlled his emotions and asked in confusion: "Zhang Tian? He's here with me, what's wrong?"
"We have received a report that a lot of things have been lost in the county recently, including but not limited to ancient paintings and goods. It is suspected to be related to Zhang Tian. Please ask him to go with us."
The gate of the villa is relatively close to the living rooms of both families. When Liang Sheng said Zhang Tian's name, Xu Fang and Qi Shan became a little panicked.
Xu Fang's meal had just been served, and she was at a loss for a moment. Finally, she pushed Qi Shan upstairs and said, "Go and call Zi Yan and ask Xiao Tian what happened and whether we can help."
Ji Chenxing glanced at the ancient video played by the live broadcast system. In the video, Qi Ziyan's clothes were torn and stained with blood, as if Jun Jingrui had just taught him a lesson.
Qi Ziyan's eyes were filled with fear, and when a branding iron burned his body, he finally cried out "Ah--" and disappeared into ancient times.
He woke up.
Not long after, Qi Ziyan appeared beside Zhang Tian.
Because some things were also lost in Ji Huaiyu's warehouse, when the police came to look for Zhang Tian, Ji's family also followed.
After Qi Ziyan was woken up, he found himself in a cold sweat. Before he had time to say goodbye to that outrageous ancient dream, he had already arrived on the first floor.
Here, the police, the director and the Ji family seemed to have reached some kind of consensus.
Qi Ziyan's eyes swept over everyone, and when he saw Ji Chenxing, he shuddered suddenly.
He didn't know why he had a dream about Ji Chenxing, let alone why Ji Chenxing in the dream was some kind of "the legitimate daughter of a general's mansion" or "the unmarried crown princess". However, the pain of the branding iron on his body was so real that he didn't dare to provoke Ji Chenxing again.
"Mr. Zhang Tian, can I ask about your real occupation? We found that there is a big fluctuation in the income and expenditure in your bank account balance, which has never happened before."
Zhang Tian hesitated for a moment and looked at Qi Ziyan, as if asking Qi Ziyan with his eyes whether he should say it.
Zhang Tian didn’t want to tell it. After all, if he told the reason, he might go to jail.
But in Qi Ziyan's eyes, the meaning of Zhang Tian's eyes became "You invited me here, you have to be responsible for me."
I just lost all my face at the hands of a group of ancient people, and suddenly returned to the present, Qi Ziyan, the first thing I thought of was not to lose face.
No matter what happened to Zhang Tian, at least today, nothing could happen to Zhang Tian here.
Even if he made any mistakes, he had to hide it first. The audience couldn't be told that his friend Qi Ziyan was a criminal, and he couldn't let people know that Zhang Tian was a friend he "bought" with money.
"Mr. Policeman, please come over. Zhang Tian is my friend. I am very familiar with him and I know everything he has done. I guarantee with my character that he has done nothing wrong. Please go back first."
As Qi Ziyan spoke, he kept winking at the police, as if he wanted the police to give him some face because he was a public figure.
But the police didn't buy it. After listening to Qi Ziyan's excuses, they spoke more directly.
"Mr. Qi, please cooperate with us and Mr. Zhang and come with us."
