Chapter 42: Whatever I fancy must belong to the Zhang family!

The next morning,

In the Imperial Palace, Zichen Hall,

Lowering his head in grievance, Pang Yu was now looking guilty and not daring to speak.

Because he never expected that the person he beat up last night was actually the new top scholar!

When being a top scholar, what is most important? That goes without saying, because those who are often top scholars know that being handsome is the point!

But the problem was, this top scholar Ouyang Xu had his face broken! His nasal bone was smashed crooked!

Even with the help of healers, he would definitely need to rest for a month or two.

But the civil officials definitely wouldn't let Pang Yu go, because this kid’s attack was too ruthless; today he dared to beat a top scholar, tomorrow wouldn't he dare to beat them?

That’s why Pang Yu appeared in Zichen Hall!

"Your Majesty, this old minister failed to teach his son, allowing him to commit such a mistake..."

Looking at Zhao Zhen before him, Grand Tutor Pang was also smart, directly asking for punishment.

Looking at Grand Tutor Pang with a twitching mouth, Zhao Zhen rolled his eyes, because he hadn't even said what the punishment was.

And just at this moment, the crying of a child rang out.

Hearing this sound, Grand Tutor Pang’s eyes lit up, and he immediately lowered his head and smiled.

And Zhao Zhen also hurriedly turned around, seeing Imperial Consort Pang holding the child and coming in: "Your Majesty, Heng’er woke up and didn't see you, he has been crying!"

"Ah, then hurry and give him to me!"

Hearing Imperial Consort Pang’s words, Zhao Zhen also became anxious.

Because he had been criticized by officials many times because of the Imperial Prince.

Bao Zheng even dared to grab his sleeve and ask him to establish his nephew as the heir.

Now that he had a biological son, Zhao Zhen pampered him even more, fearing that any problems would arise.

Just as Imperial Prince Heng came into Zhao Zhen’s arms, he immediately became happy, revealing a smile and reaching out his hands.

"Oh, my son is truly well-behaved!"

Looking at his son happily, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but sigh: "Marquis of Anle, this matter was too rude; confine him for three months first!"

"This old minister, thanks Your Majesty!" "Subject, knows his crime!"

Watching Zhao Zhen say this, Grand Tutor Pang and Pang Yu slowly stood up and exited Zichen Hall.

Looking at the two leaving, Zhao Zhen looked at Imperial Consort Pang speechlessly: "You, in the future, stop using my son to threaten me, you know?"

"How could I, Your Majesty, I just wanted Heng’er to be closer to you!"

Coming to Zhao Zhen’s side, Imperial Consort Pang leaned into his ear and said: "Your Majesty, I recently changed into a new set of clothes, wearing it inside, do you want to see?"

Suddenly hearing this sentence, Zhao Zhen immediately blushed: "Cough, cough, cough, how can Zichen Hall talk about such things? Wait for me to come to your bedroom tonight, and we’ll talk in detail..."

Inside the Imperial Palace, walking outward,

Grand Tutor Pang said with hatred for his son’s failure to meet expectations: "You idiot, even if you have a grudge, can’t you retaliate privately? You had to beat him up in front of so many people!"

"Dad, didn't I drink too much?"

Looking at Grand Tutor Pang speechlessly, Pang Yu also complained.

"Humph, drinking all day, teasing good women, when will you ever mature!"

Looking at Pang Yu angrily, Grand Tutor Pang scolded.

"Oh, Dad, stop talking, my head hurts!"

Looking at Grand Tutor Pang, Pang Yu turned around and said: "By the way, Dad, the dividends organized by the Heavenly Realm recently have been sent over!"

"Oh, is that so? How much silver!"

Looking at Pang Yu before him, Grand Tutor Pang became excited.

You must know, when Pang Yu, this stinky kid, emptied his million taels of silver, it almost made Grand Tutor Pang think he wouldn't be safe in his old age.

But he never expected that Pang Yu would be so promising, befriending Imperial Son-in-Law Zhang Cheng and Chai Wenyi, and earning such a huge fortune.

"The dividends for this year total more than two million taels..."

Speaking to Grand Tutor Pang, Pang Yu couldn't help but get excited.

"What, actually so much?"

Looking at Pang Yu in astonishment, Grand Tutor Pang never expected that the Heavenly Realm would be so profitable.

"Dad, this is just Bianliang; outside, the silver earned is even more massive!"

Looking at Grand Tutor Pang’s ignorant look, Pang Yu smiled.

Because he hadn't told Grand Tutor Pang yet about the slave-trading business he and Chai Wenyi had set up; that was what was truly profitable.

After all, it was a business with no capital; conscripting warriors, going out to sea to grab people—that was truly money coming in like a flood!

In the small courtyard,

When Zhao Pan'er learned that Ouyang Xu had his face broken, she was dumbfounded.

Even Sun Sanniang and Song Yinzhang were stunned, because that was the new top scholar.

But even more astonishing things were yet to come, that was, the person who did it was only confined for three months!

Thinking that even Gu Qianfan couldn't handle Ouyang Xu, but he was beaten in the blink of an eye, Zhao Pan'er couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

Because that Imperial Son-in-Law’s way of doing things was truly wicked.

Knowing that the top scholar relied on his appearance, he still insisted on hitting his face!

Zhang Cheng: Besides having a hard mouth, Pang Yu’s wild punches are also quite powerful!

Pang Yu: ...

Heavenly Realm, Office,

Wang Erya walked into the office leisurely: "Imperial Son-in-Law Zhang!"

"What?"

Looking at Wang Erya, Zhang Cheng raised his head.

Because ever since Feng Suzhen also became an Imperial Son-in-Law, he became Imperial Son-in-Law Zhang, and Feng Suzhen became Imperial Son-in-Law Feng!

"Ever heard of Zhang Haohao? The top courtesan of Bianliang!"

Coming to Zhang Cheng, Wang Erya looked at him with a smile.

"Top courtesan?"

Turning his head, Zhang Cheng looked at Feng Suzhen beside him, curious: "With such a big reputation, why didn't you go buy her!"

"I wanted to, but my Princess doesn't allow me to go to the brothel!"

Spreading his hands, Feng Suzhen explained.

Watching Feng Suzhen with a twitching mouth, Zhang Cheng gasped.

Because even if the Princess allowed Feng Suzhen to go to the brothel, she couldn't do anything!

"Imperial Son-in-Law, Imperial Son-in-Law, where are you!"

Running in happily, the Princess looked at Feng Suzhen and hugged her slender waist directly.

And looking at the happy Princess, Zhang Cheng could feel Feng Suzhen’s "collapse."

This was truly difficult for Feng Suzhen!

However, this heartache only existed for a second; after all, who told Feng Suzhen to take the imperial examination! She deserved it!

Feng Suzhen: Turn on the mic, I’m telling you to turn on the mic!

Zhang Cheng: ...

In a certain brothel,

The top courtesan was playing the pipa above.

Rubbing his chin, Zhang Cheng smiled: "I want this person, go negotiate with the madam!"

"Yes, Master!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng’s words, Niu Er hurriedly stood up and walked toward a seat.

But a moment later, a violent argument broke out.

Standing up, Zhang Cheng leaned on the railing and said: "Niu Er, what’s going on?"

"Master, this person is blocking us from redeeming the person!"

Pointing at the slightly arrogant young master before him, Niu Er explained.

"Who are you? Don't you know that Zhang Haohao is someone I fancy?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Chi Pan scolded.

"Cousin, this is Chi Pan, the son of the head of the twelve guilds in Bianliang! He’s a little dissolute child!"

Explaining to Zhang Cheng, Situ Yaozu laughed.

"You ask who I am, my name is Zhang Cheng, Zhang Xinzhi; I fancy this woman, so she must belong to the Zhang family. If you’re not convinced, see if your father dares to come to me to ask for her!"

After saying this, Zhang Cheng supported his chin with disdain: "Coming out to play, what do you think you’re talking about! It’s about power, it’s about background; you’re just the son of a guild, I say you’re a little punk, what can you say!"

Looking at Chi Pan domineeringly, Zhang Cheng roared.

And accompanied by Zhang Cheng’s words, guards with hands on their waist blades stood out on both sides of the railing.

Watching this scene, Chi Pan pursed his lips and didn't dare to say a word.

Although he was a dissolute child, there were levels among dissolute children!

"Take the money, redeem the person!"

Looking at the madam coldly, Zhang Cheng turned and went downstairs to leave.

After all, nothing was more eye-catching than a top courtesan!

And the top courtesans in Bianliang all had to belong to his Heavenly Realm!
