Only the Zhang brothers don't know how to assess the situation. They dare to come to Xishan Coal Industry without investigating the background. Of course, this is because they are confident. After all, there is Empress Zhang behind them. Empress Zhang is the only wife of Emperor Hongzhi. This imperial relative
