"So that's how it is. I was wondering, he had already fallen for the Heartless Sect once, how could he be caught in prison by a mere county magistrate and even suffer torture?"

"Gao Qing, what a method!"

"This time, I'm afraid that once the Royal Number One Club opens, it will detonate the entire Da Qian!"

Shangguan Wan'er said in surprise, "Your Majesty, it concerns tens of thousands of readers in Changancheng; aren't you going to manage it?"

Wu Zhao shook her head, "What should I manage?"

"The more money Gao Yang invests, the more beneficial it is for the scholars of humble background in the world, which can curb the growth of powerful families in various places, and... I also have a stake in this club!"

"Not only will I go to see the excitement on the opening day, but now I also have to add fuel to the fire!"

Subsequently, Wu Zhao waved her hand and said.

"Come here!"

"Pass on my order: the Western Depot is to spread the news with all its might, spreading the news of the Royal Number One Club's opening through every street and alley, cooperating with Gao Yang!"

Following Gao Yang's instructions, Xie Anran released the news extremely quickly, and coupled with Wu Zhao secretly sending people to add fuel to the fire.

For a moment.

In the entire Changancheng, this news began to spread at a terrifying speed, as if it had gone crazy.

"Have you heard?"

"I've heard. Widow Lin at the east end of the city accepts everyone; her morals are extremely corrupt. Many people go to curse her fiercely at night."

"That's not the news. I'm talking about the Royal Number One Club about to open, in just three days. My little aunt's eldest cousin's old uncle's son's eldest cousin said so; he has exact news."

"Is it the one opened by My Lord Gao?"

"Exactly. It is said that My Lord Gao was afraid that the scholars of Changancheng would consume irrationally, so it was originally scheduled to open tomorrow, but it was changed to three days later."

"My Lord Gao is truly a good person!"

At a street corner.

Two young merchants were whispering, feeling very emotional.

"By the way, does Widow Lin at the east end of the city really accept everyone, and do many people go to curse her in the middle of the night?"

"Could this be fake?"

"The social customs are declining, people's hearts are not as they were in the past. Where is morality, where is face, where is the bottom line, and where is the address?"

"???"

Such a scene spread throughout the entire Changancheng.

Almost every street and alley was discussing Gao Yang's ten million taels and the opening of the Royal Number One Club, which was extremely popular.

Three days passed in a flash.

Early morning.

Just at dawn, the whole of Changancheng was even more lively than usual.

Because today was the opening day of the Royal Number One Club.

Han Lin Academy.

The autumn wind blew, bringing a bone-chilling cold, but it did not diminish the enthusiasm of the scholars at all.

Huang Zizhan said to the crowd of scholars, "My Lord Gao could have opened two days ago to grab money, but he insisted on delaying it for three days."

"My Lord Gao, his character is absolutely superb!"

The crowd of students all got worked up, speaking one after another, "Yes, My Lord Gao is truly a good person!"

"Can someone who can donate ten million taels and widely accept scholars of humble background in the world not be a good person?"

Everyone said one after another.

Even some students who did not approve kept silent.

For no other reason than fear of being beaten!

At this time.

Huang Zizhan faced the crowd and said loudly, "Everyone, listen to me!"

"My Lord Gao, for the sake of the scholars of humble background in the world, donated a sky-high price of ten million taels of silver. Looking at the world for a hundred years, or even a thousand years, this has never happened before!"

"Since we read the books of sages and know the principles of things, now that the Royal Number One Club is opening today, everyone tell me, what should we do?"

For a moment, everyone said one after another.

"Support My Lord Gao!"

"For the sake of the scholars of humble background in the world, for the sake of the gate of the academy, so that the humble background is never cut off, we should go to the brothel to listen to music!"

"Nothing to do today, should go to the brothel to listen to music!"

"Alas! Although I am old, for the sake of the scholars of humble background in the world, our generation is duty-bound!"

"Let's go together!"

"Let's go together!"

"Nothing to do today, go to the brothel to listen to music!"

"Nothing to do today, go to the brothel to listen to music!"

For a moment, everyone was extremely excited.

Huang Zizhan was very excited and took the lead, "Everyone, follow me!"

Han Lin Academy, in front of the gate.

A crowd of scholars, all holding feather fans, wearing plain white robes, and wearing jade belts at their waists, were about to walk out of the Han Lin Academy gate in a mighty force.

But just at this moment.

An old man with gray hair, wearing a simple robe and cloth shoes, blocked in front of the crowd. He was full of majesty and looked displeased.

Seeing this person.

The crowd of scholars all felt fear in their eyes.

They all bowed in unison and said, "Master!"

"Master!"

The old man was named Yan Yu, one of the three great scholars of the Han Lin Academy. He did not like power, focused on studying the books of sages, was extremely upright in character, and hated places of flowers and willows the most!

"You are all mighty and powerful, where are you going?"

Yan Yu said majestically.

For a moment, everyone's momentum weakened rapidly.

Huang Zizhan gritted his teeth and said, "Master, the Royal Number One Club is opening today, and we are going to support it, but Master, rest assured, it is said that this so-called club is not like the filthy places like the Rouge Pavilion; it is foot washing, ear cleaning, and so on!"

"I hope Master will grant permission!"

Following Huang Zizhan's lead, the crowd of scholars all said in unison.

"I hope Master will grant permission!"

"I hope Master will grant permission!"

"I hope Master will grant permission!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Yu directly scolded with a straight face, "Hu Nao!"

"Too much nonsense!"

Seeing Yan Yu get angry, everyone lowered their heads in unison.

Even Huang Zizhan didn't dare to make a sound.

Old Master Yan had always hated such places with a passion; the whole of Changancheng knew this!

The next second.

Yan Yu said displeasedly.

"For such a big event, you didn't even call me!"

"This is too inappropriate. If the commotion hadn't been so big, I would probably still be studying the books of sages right now and wouldn't even know about this!"

Swish, swish, swish!

Upon hearing this, everyone raised their heads in astonishment in unison.

Huang Zizhan said in shock, "Master, are you going too?"

Yan Yu stroked his beard and said displeasedly, "Why? Can't I go?"

Huang Zizhan looked at Yan Yu and said in a low voice, "But aren't you the one who hates such filthy places the most, feeling that it damages the character of a scholar?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Yu said with a look of hating iron for not becoming steel,

"Wrong!"

"Greatly wrong!" ===== CHAPTER 1112 =====
