Chapter 564: Zhang Zhirou beats up Zheng Zihe for Jiang Dongping
Zhang Zhirou had already noticed Pang Shi's movements. With her skills, it would have been easy for her to dodge, but she obviously had no intention of hiding.
She just stood there, watching Pang Shi's ferocious face approaching calmly, with a hint of triumph in her bright eyes.
However, the slap she was waiting for didn't come. A blue-brown figure suddenly appeared and punched Zhang Zhirou with a palm that was almost touching her face.
Pang Shi screamed and her body was knocked back step by step by the sudden force.
"mother!"
Zheng Zihe discovered that his mother was beaten and quickly went forward to help her.
Looking at the man who held her in his arms, Zhang Zhirou's eyes were full of surprise and complexity.
"Why don't you hide?!" Jiang Dongping frowned, breathing rapidly, as if he was running wildly.
When he learned that she would not attend the imperial banquet, he sneaked out and refused to enter the palace.
He went to Prince Li's mansion to look for her, but heard from Uncle Zhang that she had come to the palace. Thinking of his parents bringing Wu Xiuxin into the palace when he left, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and his heart was lifted!
He ran all the way and finally entered the palace, only to see her being beaten!
Is she crazy? She won't fight back when someone hits her?
"What are you doing?!" Zhang Zhirou pushed him away, a look of embarrassment and displeasure on her face.
She had originally wanted to receive a slap from Pang Shi in order to completely reverse the situation. But he came and knocked Pang Shi back. If she wasn't injured, it would be good. If she was injured, Pang Shi would cry and wail again.
Jiang Dongping's expression froze, and even his rapid heartbeat slowed down.
Why do I feel a sense of alienation and distance from her?
"Jiang Dongping! You dare to attack my mother? Do you really think I'm made of clay?!" Zheng Zihe was cold all over. After putting Pang Shi down, he rushed towards Jiang Dongping with his fist raised.
Wu Xiuxin, who was at the banquet, saw this scene and stood up nervously; on the other hand, the King and Queen of Western Chu looked calm and composed, as if they were not worried at all.
Zhang Zhirou naturally also saw this scene, but she knew that with Zheng Zihe's skills, it was impossible for him to cause any harm to Jiang Dongping, so she didn't take Zheng Zihe seriously at all!
But the next second, she saw Zheng Zihe's fist fall on Jiang Dongping without any hindrance!
A dull sound and Jiang Dongping's backward body instantly tore the calmness on Zhang Zhirou's face.
"Who told you to touch him?!" Her eyes suddenly became sharp and she kicked Zheng Zihe.
The huge impact force kicked Zheng Zihe three meters away.
This scene happened in a flash, and everyone's heart skipped a beat after being kicked by Zhang Zhirou.
"Miss Zhang is so amazing! That's Captain Zheng! His skills are above the fourth rank!"
"Could it be that Miss Zhang is a master above the third rank?"
"No wonder he's able to stand on the city wall and guard the country's borders! He's truly from a family of military commanders, well done!"
Zhang Zhirou supported the retreating Jiang Dongping, a look of worry and confusion on her face, "Are you okay? Why didn't you fight back?"
Jiang Dongping was fine. Zheng Zihe's punch was nothing to him. He had used his internal energy to resist, and his backward movement was a deliberate act.
He just wanted to know how Zhang Zhirou would react if he was injured.
"Why were you so cold to me just now?" Jiang Dongping frowned.
He now knew that she still cared about him, so why did she have that attitude just now?
Zhang Zhirou also seemed to realize something. Her face turned slightly cold, and she withdrew her hands. Her eyes looked uncontrollably at Wu Xiuxin on the high platform, her eyes filled with guilt and shame.
Wu Xiuxin stood there, watching the intimate interaction between the two, with no specific emotion visible on her cold face.
The King and Queen of Western Chu watched this scene, their expressions turned ugly, and they looked over Zhang Zhirou's body with scrutiny.
"Your Majesty, are you just going to watch my Zheng family being bullied like this?!"
Pang Shi burst into tears again, sitting on the ground and slapping the ground, looking like a shrew.
Zheng Zihe also covered his chest. Zhang Zhirou's kick was so powerful that he could even feel that his sternum was about to break.
I never thought a woman could be so skilled! No wonder she escaped even after being poisoned by the cartilage powder last time!
"Zhang Zhirou slandered Ziying and Ziping. The villain filed the complaint first. Her purpose was to divert attention and make everyone ignore the identity of Prince Li's wife!"
"Your Majesty, my Lords, you must not be fooled by her!"
Zhang Zhirou's frivolous eyes were refocused on Zheng Zihe, and her sharpness and fierceness became even stronger.
"Captain Zheng, may I ask, is there anything I just said that is false?"
"Is it true that Zheng Ziying killed someone?"
"Zheng Zihe opened the prison door without authorization and drove away the jailer in the Dali Temple. Is this true?"
"Don't forget, there were other prisoners in the cell where my cousin was at the time! The prisoners in the adjacent cells heard Zheng Zihe's purpose for entering the cell clearly!"
"Could it be that you still want to make excuses and lie in front of the emperor?"
Zheng Zihe was speechless, and Pang Shi could only glare at Zhang Zhirou fiercely.
"So what if that's the case?!"
Suddenly, Zheng Xiaodie, who had been silent all this time, came out. The expression on her face seemed much calmer than that of other members of the Zheng family.
"Even if my second and third brothers were wrong, that's no reason for Liu Ruxin to kill people!"
Madam Pang's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "That's right! Even if my son made a mistake, he should be punished according to the law. He should be reported to the Dali Temple for judgment and trial. Liu Ruxin is just a commoner. What qualifications does she have to punish him privately and execute my son?!"
Zheng Zihe's face changed and he thought to himself, oh no, she has tricked me again!
He quickly said, "Your Majesty, Ziping and Ziying made mistakes and should be punished according to the law. But Princess Li committed murder, so shouldn't she also be punished according to the law?"
"Today, the injustice I wish to appeal is that Prince Li stole the truth by replacing 'Liu Ruxin' with an unknown corpse, allowing the Princess to escape. This is not about whether Ziying and Ziping should be killed!"
Zheng Zihe had indeed been with the King of Jin for a long time, and his intelligence and quick thinking were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The firepower that Zhang Zhirou had diverted with great difficulty was pulled back by him.
But it was too late. Zheng Xiaodie's words just now were equivalent to confirming the result that Zhang Zhirou wanted in advance.
"So, Captain Zheng admits that the two young masters deserved death?" Zhang Zhirou struck while the iron was hot, anger surfacing on her face. She pointed at him coldly and demanded, "If that's the case, why did you, the Zheng family, set fire to my cousin?!"
