Pei Cheng also knew Wu Zhao's attitude.

Since Gao Yang made a full-scale attack, he didn't need to cover up his words.

The Pei family controls the production process of mulberry paper and masters the raw materials, this is the confidence!

Without mulberry paper, one can only use inferior hemp paper!

Hearing Pei Cheng's last few sentences, Gao Yang's violent temper suddenly came up.

Listen, is this something a human can say?

"I work hard your grandfather!"

"Don't those scholars who study hard in the cold window work hard? Don't those commoners who farm every day, work from sunrise to sunset, but still don't have enough food and clothing work hard?"

"Don't those porters and peddlers who carry vegetables early in the morning and walk ten miles just to sell for a dozen coins work hard?"

"Damn it, I beat your son Pei Ji, I didn't beat you, the father, right? Today I, Gao Yang, won't beat you, it's hard to eliminate this anger!"

Gao Yang rolled up his sleeves and walked toward Pei Cheng.

This aggressive appearance, coupled with that furious voice, directly stunned the officials.

What is this situation?

In front of Wu Zhao, above the Jin Luan Palace, Gao Yang actually wants to beat the head of the Pei family?!

For a time, everyone was full of astonishment, and some officials even forgot to think.

Wu Zhao was also stunned.

When she reacted, she immediately said.

"Minister Gao, no!"

At this time.

Pei Cheng looked at Gao Yang who was close at hand, and he was also stunned.

"Beat me?"

He, Pei Cheng, as the head of the Pei family, dominates one side and is respected by others. He has really never been beaten in his life!

He hardened his heart and said directly, "Lord Gao, if you have the guts, then beat!"

He really didn't believe it.

On the Jin Luan Palace.

In front of Wu Zhao, with the officials witnessing, Gao Yang really dared to take action?

Really think he, Pei Cheng, was scared?

Ridiculous!

Next second!

Slap!

Gao Yang slapped Pei Cheng in the face, knocking him to the ground!

Then he kicked him, causing him to let out a shrill scream.

Gao Yang originally wanted to kick again, but was pulled by the officials beside him, so he stopped.

Pei Cheng fell to the ground, only feeling his head buzzing.

Dumbfounded!

Pei Cheng only felt his face burning with pain, and his abdomen was also in great pain. He looked unbelievable.

This Gao Yang, he really dares!

Good, good, good!

It's fine to beat his son Pei Ji, but even he, the father, has to be beaten!

Today, he wants to see how Gao Yang ends this, he wants to see how Wu Zhao ends this!

"Your Majesty, this subject just said some truth, Prime Minister Gao is so irritable, committing violence on the Jin Luan Palace, such an arrogant person, where does he have Your Majesty in his eyes?"

Pei Cheng wailed, his voice echoing.

Gao Yang sneered and replied directly.

"I, Gao Yang, naturally don't have Your Majesty in my eyes, because Your Majesty needs to be placed in the heart, unlike you gatekeeper families, sucking His Majesty's blood while seeking His Majesty to uphold justice!"

"Where is your face?"

Gao Yang's mouth was like a machine gun, Pei Ji only said one sentence, and Gao Yang retorted several sentences.

Pei Cheng knew he couldn't win the argument, so he said to Gao Yang, "Lord Gao, say a thousand and ten thousand, this mulberry paper is expensive for a reason. If you have the ability, then make paper yourself and lower the price!"

"Why take it out on me?"

Others frowned, thinking Pei Cheng lost his demeanor, and since he couldn't win the argument, he let Gao Yang make paper himself.

Everyone shook their heads one after another, but they couldn't help but worry for Gao Yang.

But just at this moment, Gao Yang stood straight and said with disdain.

"Pei family head said this well, since the Pei family head is unwilling to lower the price, then I, Gao Yang, will make paper myself!"

"I, Gao Yang, will follow the Pei family head's wishes and lower the price of this mulberry paper!"

Once these words were spoken.

Cui Xinghe looked up in astonishment.

Wang Zhong was full of horror.

Even Pei Cheng was dumbfounded.

Make paper himself?

Pei Cheng thought Gao Yang was crazy. He admitted that Gao Yang had some ability and was not ordinary.

But wanting to make paper, how is this possible?

Pei Cheng mocked, "Lord Gao, do you know how difficult it is to make paper?"

"Not to mention anything else, just..."

Pei Cheng originally wanted to speak eloquently, but the next second, he was interrupted by Gao Yang.

Gao Yang took out bamboo paper from his wide sleeves and said with a sneer, "This official made paper in one night, is it difficult to make paper?"

Since Gao Yang took out the bamboo paper from his sleeves, the eyes of the officials stared at the bamboo paper in Gao Yang's hand.

"Hiss!"

"The paper in Lord Gao's hand, looking at its luster, it doesn't look like mulberry paper, and it doesn't look like inferior hemp paper, this... could it really be paper made by Lord Gao himself?"

"Lord Gao said it was made in one night, this must be it!"

"Looking at its luster, it doesn't seem weaker than that mulberry paper!"

For a time, the officials made noises, and the Jin Luan Palace became restless.

Gao Feng looked helpless. He knew this was not paper made in one night; Gao Yang spent several months soaking bamboo, it was just that the Pei family happened to catch up.

But he naturally wouldn't expose it, instead, he leisurely appreciated the expression on the faces of the Pei father and son.

Pei Cheng was stunned, his eyes becoming unbelievable.

He was the head of the Pei family and naturally knew mulberry paper like the back of his hand, so he saw at a glance that the paper in Gao Yang's hand was not mulberry paper!

But that... was definitely not hemp paper either!

Pei Cheng's pupils shrank, and a huge sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart.

Earlier, although he was furious, he had been quite calm in his heart.

Because the Pei family had a prominent status, had dominated the world for a long time, and had two moats: mulberry paper and annotated classics.

How could it be so simple for Wu Zhao to take action against the Pei family?

But now, he was not restless.

Because if Gao Yang could make paper, and it was paper of similar quality to mulberry paper.

That would be a catastrophe for the Pei family!

Not to mention the officials, even Wu Zhao was not restless, her phoenix eyes gushing with endless power!

She never expected that Gao Yang's means to curb the Pei family were not conspiracies, but a frontal attack!

Lu Wen said with a trembling voice, "Prime Minister, can this subject touch this paper?"

Gao Yang glanced at Lu Wen and nodded, "Naturally!"

Lu Wen took the bamboo paper from Gao Yang's hand and touched it carefully. The gentle movement was as if it wasn't bamboo paper in his hand, but the person he loved most in his heart.

"Thin as a cicada's wing yet tough as silk, light flowing, and one can vaguely see the fine texture of bamboo, warm to the touch, it is truly... truly a rare good paper!"
