Chapter 23

Bianliang, Heaven on Earth.

Wisps of white smoke shrouded the place, turning this building into a fairyland on earth.

Those who had already been here appeared very calm, but those entering for the first time were shocked.

Because this place simply didn't look like the human world!

Leading Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce, and the others to a private room on the second floor, Zhan Zhao skillfully began to order things.

Looking at Zhan Zhao with curiosity, Gongsun Ce asked: "Does this place also provide betel nut and cigarettes?"

"Of course, here, as long as you have money, you can buy anything!"

Speaking with a face full of smiles, Zhan Zhao waved his hand, signaling the woman dressed in light gauze at the side to come forward.

"Young Master Zhan, what are your orders!"

Looking at the attire of the woman before him, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but blush: "Please don't do this, Magistrate Bao and the others are still here!"

"That means, if Magistrate Bao and the others weren't here, it would be okay to do this!"

Teasing Zhan Zhao, the maid couldn't help but purse her red lips and speak.

And seeing such a scene, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but take two steps back: "Stop playing around, hurry up and go get the things!"

"Wait for me, Young Master Zhan!"

Arching her eyebrows, the maid turned and left in a seductive manner.

Taking a deep breath, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but smooth his chest, because every time he came here, he would be teased; it was simply too much!

But just as Zhan Zhao turned around, he saw Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Wang Chao, and Ma Han staring at him with serious faces, their eyes wide as lanterns.

"You, why are you looking at me like that?"

Retreating slightly in fear, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but ask.

"Guard Zhan!"

"Brother Zhan!"

"Master Zhan!"

Just after the few of them spoke one after another, Zhan Zhao clearly sensed that something was wrong: "If you have something to say, say it properly!"

"How are you so familiar with the fairy? Teach us, would you?"

Looking at Zhan Zhao excitedly, the few of them hurriedly turned serious.

Everyone was at the peak of their vigor; seeing women dressed in light gauze qipao with silk stockings on their feet, how could they not lose their heads?

"This, I don't know either!"

Hearing the words of Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and the others, Zhan Zhao also spread his hands with a speechless face.

"Ugh!"

Looking at Zhan Zhao with disdain, everyone turned their heads away one after another.

And just after the items were brought up, Gongsun Ce was the first to light a cigarette: "Phew, it's really been a long time since I've tasted this!"

"This item is indeed good for refreshing the mind!"

Lighting a cigarette just like Gongsun Ce, Bao Zheng also couldn't help but laugh.

And just as the room was filled with smoke, the performance below also began.

Accompanied by the sound of classical music, women dressed in light gauze appeared holding musical instruments.

Looking at their appearance, cheers erupted from below.

"Music, start!"

Snapping his fingers, Zhang Cheng glanced at a location not far away.

Receiving Zhang Cheng's order, Wang Erya signaled to the person beside her to turn on the sound system.

Just as the classical electronic music started, the guests in each private room couldn't help but freeze in place.

Because they had never heard such music before!

"What is this music? It is simply an insult to refinement!"

Speaking with anger, Bao Zheng couldn't help but roar while slapping the table.

But just at this moment, Zhang Long looked at Gongsun Ce and said: "Mr. Gongsun, I feel that Magistrate Bao needs a vocabulary more severe than 'the collapse of rites and music' right now."

"This, I can't think of one either!"

Hearing Zhang Long's words, Gongsun Ce was also dumbfounded.

Because the initial music was still relatively soft and beautiful, but how did it suddenly become so intense?

Just when people were confused, fairies dressed in Tang and Song dynasty clothing appeared on the dance floor below.

"The large strings clattered like sudden rain, the small strings whispered like private words; like private words, clattering and whispering mixed, large pearls and small pearls falling onto a jade plate!"

"Is this actually Bai Juyi's 'Pipa Song'?"

"How wonderful, who composed this music!"

"Not just 'Pipa Song', there's actually opera singing..."

Listening to the music below, people couldn't help but praise it.

Because this kind of music was truly refreshing!

"Mr. Gongsun, why are you shaking?"

Looking at Gongsun Ce with confusion, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu became somewhat bewildered.

And looking at Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, Gongsun Ce waved his hand and said: "I don't know, I can't control myself either!"

"Guard Zhan's dance moves are truly graceful!"

Just as everyone was looking at Gongsun Ce, Zhan Zhao smiled and said: "Everyone, let's dance together; we came to this place to relax, why be so restrained!"

"Guard Zhan is right, everyone, let's dance together!"

Pulling Wang Chao and Ma Han beside him, Gongsun Ce couldn't help but laugh loudly.

And just as the scene gradually became heated, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but bite his cigar and say: "How about it, satisfied, right?"

"Not bad, I really didn't see that you had this kind of method!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with a face full of smiles, Chai Wenyi's eyes flickered.

Because making money is not important; what he needs is "connections."

Likewise, Zhang Cheng was the same!

Everyone had the same goal, which is why there was a foundation for cooperation.

But just at this moment, Pang Yu stepped forward and said: "Brother Zhang, I wonder, are there any more of those silk stockings?"

"Silk stockings? What do you need this item for?"

Looking at Pang Yu, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but become curious.

"My sister!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with surprise, Pang Yu's eyes couldn't help but flicker.

Because these women were dressed so beautifully and seductively; if his sister, Imperial Consort Pang, wore them, wouldn't Zhao Zhen be easily won over?

Looking at Pang Yu with sudden realization, the corners of Zhang Cheng's and Chai Wenyi's mouths both lifted.

The current Emperor does not yet have a legitimate son!

If Imperial Consort Pang can be productive, then the future Pang family will be the relatives of the Emperor!

Grand Tutor Pang is not easy to fool, but Pang Yu is different.

Exchanging a glance, Zhang Cheng and Chai Wenyi immediately grabbed Pang Yu's shoulders and walked out: "Come, come, Brother Pang, let's discuss a matter!"

After eight o'clock in the evening, the curfew began.

Even though it was silent outside, Heaven on Earth remained brightly lit.

In order to avoid exposing too much advanced technology, Zhang Cheng had used lanterns in advance to wrap the incandescent bulbs.

As for the power source, it was a diesel generator and solar panels.

At present, it could power one central air conditioning unit, but any more would be troublesome.

Lying in the office on the top floor, Zhang Cheng looked at Wang Erya and said: "How is it, are today's accounts clear!"

"Today we sold a total of eight thousand strings of cash..."

Covering her mouth, Wang Erya kept fiddling with the abacus, as if she couldn't believe all of this.

And looking at Wang Erya's appearance, Zhang Cheng was very indifferent.

After all, what the Song dynasty prided itself on was commerce, and the number of wealthy people was like crucian carp crossing the river.

But even if they had money, the Song dynasty couldn't withstand a beating!

Just when Zhang Cheng intended to develop slowly first, Feng Suzhen ran in, her face full of panic as she said: "Zhang Xinzhi, something big has happened!"

"Something happened? What happened to me? Isn't everything fine?"

Looking at Feng Suzhen with confusion, Zhang Cheng became puzzled.

"It's not that something happened to you, it's me; it's over, I've really become the Imperial Son-in-Law!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in disbelief, Feng Suzhen finally remembered the Huangmei opera he had sung that day.

Because she had actually hit the imperial list and become the Imperial Son-in-Law!

"You're amazing!"

Giving a thumbs up, Zhang Cheng spoke with some shock.

After all, she thought Feng Suzhen was just a little prettier, but she didn't expect that she was even more amazing than Li Xunhuan!

No matter how arrogant Li Xunhuan is, he was only a Tanhua.

Zhang Cheng: Alright, only handsome people can become Tanhua; this is a tear-jerking fact!

Li Xunhuan:

But Feng Suzhen is different; singing her name outside the Donghua Gate—this is the talent of a Zhuangyuan!

"Did I come to hear you praise me?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Feng Suzhen couldn't help but grit her teeth.

And looking at Feng Suzhen, Zhang Cheng spread his hands blankly and said: "Then what else? Do you want me to be the Imperial Son-in-Law for you?"

Turning her head, Wang Erya was shocked, but at this moment, Feng Suzhen widened her eyes and said: "Good idea!"

"Good idea your grandfather, that's execution of the nine clans, execution of the nine clans!"

Looking at Feng Suzhen with anger, Zhang Cheng roared.

Don't these people know that the Song dynasty has an organization similar to the Embroidered Uniform Guard called the Imperial City Department?

My health has really been poor recently, but the company will definitely not owe any debts. Thanks to the major shareholder [Huan Yin Guan Yue] and the old shareholder [Blue Star's Five Major Mobile Vendors]. I will pay back the debts in a few days!
