C258 Desperate Cheng Zhipeng (2)
Just like that, Cheng Zhipeng and his wife was brought into the house by Commander Ni. Situ Qingyun who was seated at the seat of honor was immediately shocked when he saw this, and thought to himself, who is this person?
"General, I've brought him for you!" Commander Ni pointed to the two people kneeling in the middle of the room and introduced them to Situ Qingyun.
Due to the heavy shackles on them, they were simply unable to raise their bodies. Even if they used all their strength, their heads were only parallel to the ground, and with Situ Qingyun being so tall, it was simply impossible to see their faces. Thus, Situ Qingyun pointed at the man and asked: "This is Cheng Zhipeng?"
Yes, that's Cheng Zhipeng! Commander Ni bowed and replied.
"Then who is this woman?" Situ Qingyun was puzzled, he was only here to look for Cheng Zhipeng, why was there another girl, thus he pointed to the girl and continued to ask.
"This is his wife!" Commander Ni bowed and answered humbly.
"Then what did they do, and why were they shackled?" Situ Qingyun still didn't understand why Cheng Zhipeng's wife was shackled and even brought to this place. He didn't say that he wanted to see his wife, so he continued to ask curiously.
"This ?" Hehe, General might not know that they have already committed a heinous crime and are spouting nonsense. Therefore, this lowly general has shackled these two people and sealed their mouths! " Commander Ni paused for a moment before replying.
Commander Ni originally thought that Cheng Zhipeng had offended Situ Qingyun, but now it seemed that Situ Qingyun did not recognize this person called Cheng Zhipeng. However, after thinking about it, he felt relieved, these nobles that were high up in the sky, in order to keep the feathers on their bodies clean, would always pretend to be crazy and play dumb. They obviously wanted to have a personal grudge with Cheng Zhipeng, but they would definitely drag some crime over to be used to announce it to the public, and were not willing to personally determine the crime of, so they needed someone like him as a scapegoat.
It didn't matter to Commander Ni whether he understood it or not since he wasn't a good person. However, he couldn't think of any good crimes for now, so he could only be vague about it. He wanted to use punishment to vent his anger, so why bother thinking about what kind of crimes he had committed?
Situ Qingyun was really 'drunk'. He was wondering what number of points his nephew had come across, but he did not hear from his nephew that the other party was a felon. Furthermore, he had already been locked up. Therefore, Situ Qingyun opened his mouth and asked: "How many people under your command called Cheng Zhipeng?"
"Just one!" There is no one else called 'Cheng Zhipeng' anymore! " Commander Ni tactfully said to Situ Qingyun.
"Is he the Cheng Zhipeng that you suspended a while ago?" Situ Qingyun continued to ask, his expression becoming even more puzzled.
"That's right!" Does the general have any more questions? " Commander Ni asked with a smile on his face.
"Take out the foreign object in his mouth, I have something to ask him!" Situ Qingyun felt that he and Commander Ni could not even pee in one pot, so he opened his mouth to ask for a conversation with Cheng Zhipeng.
"General, I don't think there's a need for that. He has already admitted to his crimes, and his crimes are heinous. As long as we await your punishment, that's enough!" Commander Ni continued to explain. At the same time, he was muttering in his heart. The reason why all the nobles in power had to go over and over was because they were afraid of dirtying their own hands. However, in the end, they had to do the dirty work themselves. It was fucking unreasonable. It was even worse than a cousin, but a cousin wouldn't set up a memorial archway.
"Nonsense!" Hmph, go f * cking deal with it yourself! I don't have the time to wait upon you! " Situ Qingyun was also angered. What the hell was this, he was already not in a good mood today, and with such a terrible thing happening, he simply couldn't be bothered to care about it anymore. With a snort, he threw out a harsh sentence and angrily rushed out the door.
This scene made Ni Qushi feel helpless. He had gone through so much trouble to get Cheng Zhipeng's family here, but this boss had left just like that!
If he had to blame something, he could only blame Cheng Zhipeng for his bad luck. However, that Mrs. Cheng who was acting like a middle-aged woman could first have a taste of his luck, before torturing this tough guy, which would allow him to vent some of the anger he had recently suffered.
Thinking about this, Commander Ni waved at his subordinates and walked towards the dungeon with a vicious smile on his face. The subordinates behind him, who were carrying three hundred kilograms of heavy shackles, escorted the two of them and followed behind Commander Ni.

In the backyard of Boxer Mansion, in Gongsun Ze Tian's room.
"Do you really believe that your third uncle will bring him back?" Leng Nuohan suddenly put down the book in his hand, and asked Gongsun Ze Tian who was about to fall asleep.
"Third Uncle has a straightforward temper. Although the battlefield and the enemy are deceitful to each other, he hates these twists and turns the most. Based on my understanding of the commander, I guess that third uncle will not bring the Cheng couple back." Gongsun Ze Tian slowly replied with his eyes still closed.
Due to the excessive blood loss, Gongsun Ze Tian had been feeling sleepy for the past few days. However, he was not able to spend most of his time sleeping because there were still many things that needed him to think about, make decisions, and every step he took, as long as he made the wrong move, it would be impossible for him and the Listening Rain Pavilion to recover.
"What?" Then why are you still so calm? "Hurry up and think of a way to contact your third uncle." When Leng Nuohan heard what Gongsun Zaitian had to say, the temple suddenly exploded. She threw down the book in her hand, angrily ran to Gongsun Zaitian's side, and pulled his ear as she asked like a cannon.
Gongsun Ze Tian repeatedly begged for mercy, and no longer closed her eyes to rest. She didn't even bother about the blanket that was covering her body as she landed on the ground, but Leng Nuohan saw that she had let go with some pity. She even subconsciously rubbed her hands a little, then rolled her eyes at Gongsun Ze Tian, then leaned over and picked up the blanket for him and covered his body once again.
"Hehe, if I don't do this, how can I teach this city guard commander a lesson?" Gongsun Ztian forced a smile and explained.
"Then you must be happy. What about the Cheng couple?" Leng Nuohan had not calmed down yet, and angrily asked Gongsun Ze about the heavens.
"Nuhan, don't be impatient. I have my own plans to guarantee the Cheng couple's safety. You can rest assured!" Gongsun Ztian comforted Leng Nuohan softly and promised him.
"That's what you said. If the Cheng couple were to lose a single strand of hair, I will question you!" Hearing Gongsun Zaitian's guarantee, Leng Nuohan's mood calmed down a lot, but, when she saw the confident face of Gongsun Zaitian, she still couldn't help but feel angry and threatened.
"It's not fair. Do you know how many hairs people lose a day? If the Cheng couple were to suffer from kidney failure again, then they would lose even more hair! " Gongsun Ztian smiled and pretended to complain.
"Hmph, I don't care. Who told you to finish your plan without making a sound? But now you're looking at me anxiously!" Hearing Gongsun Zaitian's words, Leng Nuohan's mood finally eased up. The anger on her face right now, was completely fake.
"Alright, you can't blame me for this. I was going to tell you, but when I got home, I started off with a series of things. First, I fought with my mother over the 'guests from the roof' and then I had to deal with some old man's wishes. I'm really busy!" Gongsun Ze Tian pulled Leng Nuohan's small hand and explained.
"Fine, I'll let you off this time!" However, you must guarantee that you will bring the Cheng couple back safely! " Leng Nuohan took out his own small hands and directly gave Gongsun Zaitian a blow on the back of the head. Then, he walked towards his chair, intending to finish reading her book.
"Don't worry about that. They might already be on their way back!" Gongsun Ztian said with a smile.

Situ Qingyun was very depressed, he felt that today's matter wasn't going well at all. First, he met two decadent people, and then, he had to bring them home. He had wanted to give some compensation to his nephew, but he was actually a felon with severe injuries. If he managed to get his Northern Army back, it would be a huge joke.
Just as Situ Qingyun galloped all the way to the entrance of the residence, he suddenly saw little Lan Er standing outside the residence. She had seen Situ Qingyun from afar, so she hopped over to Situ Qingyun's horse, raised her head and asked: "Third Old Master, did you bring General and Madam Cheng back?"
The little girl asked while tiptoeing to look behind Situ Qingyun. However, no matter how she looked at it, it was just Situ Qingyun's personal guard, there was no Cheng couple around.
"What General Cheng? That person is a felon, and his wife was sent to jail together with him!" Situ Qingyun really liked this little girl, and knew of this little girl's background as well. Her love for her was not worse than those few nephews, so he did not put on the airs of a master, and even grumbled a little.
"What!?" You weren't made fun of, were you? " The little girl pouted and asked unhappily.
"By what?" Situ Qingyun still could not understand the words the little girl was saying. Ever sinhehe was together with Ol 'Three, he had often said some words that no one else could understand. Sometimes, when he found it fun, she would also learn a few words.
"Oh no, I was tricked!" Moreover, the officers at the Eastern City Guards Institution were personally trained by Cheng Zhipeng. Last time, didn't you lead a group of people that surrounded and annihilated the Sword League to praise those officers and officers? He said that when he had time, he would go and meet their general! " The little girl had a clear mouth and clear thoughts. In just a few words, she had brought up all the points that she needed to say.
"Is that true?" Situ Qingyun asked in astonishment.
"Of course, the son of the city general is at the mansion. He was brought here by the young master today. If you don't believe me, you can ask him to come and ask whether General Cheng has committed any crimes. The little girl pointed to the entrance of the Boxer Mansion, and said to Situ Qingyun with a childish face.
"Not good, it's broken!" I've been messed with by that grandson! " Situ Qingyun immediately learned from his mistakes and shouted 'not good'. As he carefully recalled the bits and pieces of Ni Qushi that he saw today, he immediately felt that something was amiss.
Because Situ Qingyun was not in a good mood today, he did not mind some trivial matters. Thinking back to it now, Commander Ni Qushi had been hiding his words well, and from beginning to end, he had not exchanged a single word with Cheng Zhipeng. What crime did he commit, and why was he captured?
Thinking about it, Situ Qingyun's heart burned with anxiety. If he accidentally harmed a capable person's family, then he would be guilty of a great crime, and there would be no way for him to explain it to his nephew. He had clearly recommended him to be a talented person, yet he ended up losing to him, so how could he have the face to return to the Situ Family?
Therefore, Situ Qingyun immediately turned his horse around and sent his own personal guards to gather the troops under his command to enter the city. Situ Qingyun made up his mind. If Ni Qushi did not give him an explanation today, then he would bring his men to flatten the manor.
"There are all of them. Get on the horse and unsheathe your saber. The target is the City Guard Army's Mansion. Set off!" Situ Qingyun ordered with killing intent.
"KILL ?!" An earth-shaking battle cry shocked everyone on the street.
