Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

"This... how is this possible?" Zhou Maoxue was shocked beyond words, "Does His Majesty trust him that much?"

Zhou Hong said calmly, "His Majesty trusts him too much, just as the Crown Prince trusts him. Not only does the Crown Prince trust him, but now even the officials in the court trust him!"

"I told you, Fang Zheng Yi is a person without weaknesses. This person seems to act frivolously and unrestrained, but almost every step is carefully considered and taken extremely steadily."

"The important forces under his command, whether it's Dongjiao University, Banshan Newspaper, or the Embroidered Uniform Guard, almost all have the Crown Prince involved."

"He is constantly helping the Crown Prince increase his reputation among the people, even when the Embroidered Uniform Guard distributes salaries, he insists on having the Crown Prince personally distribute the silver to them one by one... He has been helping the Crown Prince cultivate his personal power, who wouldn't trust such a person?"

"Even if he is richer than a country, who would suspect him? No one will, not only will the Emperor not suspect him, but even the court officials will have no suspicion."

Zhou Maoxue murmured, "His foundation is so deep?"

Zhou Hong closed his eyes and nodded, "Unshakeable."

"Your father has been away from the capital for a long time, inspecting the four directions for His Majesty, but I have also been observing him for many years. At first, I thought he was just an oddity, but then I felt he was a pure person, and now I realize he is actually creating history... The younger generation is to be feared."

"Now everyone is being swept forward by him, no one can resist such temptation, to oppose him is to oppose the entire court."

Having said this much, Zhou Maoxue was truly afraid.

He naively thought that colluding with the failed candidates could change the situation and gain some benefits, but he didn't expect it to be like an ant trying to shake a tree, only to humiliate himself.

If Fang Zheng Yi really became the actual Prime Minister as his father said.

Then even a small trick to make things difficult for the Zhou family would be enough to give them a hard time.

Trembling, he picked up the two articles on the ground, looked at Zhou Hong, and swallowed his saliva, "Dad, then... if I go apologize now, he won't hold a grudge against me, right?"

Zhou Hong sneered, "Who do you think you are? Do you think he will care about you just because you are my son?"

"Those troublemakers like you, I'm afraid the Embroidered Uniform Guard has already investigated you thoroughly by tomorrow. The fact that he hasn't come to me is giving me face!"

Being humiliated by his own father one after another, Zhou Maoxue felt particularly aggrieved....

Zhou Hong waved his hand and said, "Alas... Take the letter I wrote, and have the housekeeper prepare a gift for you, go and apologize in person, he is a magnanimous person, and he will certainly not blame you if you take the initiative to admit your mistake."

Zhou Maoxue gritted his teeth, "I'll go!"

After speaking, he turned to leave.

"Wait a minute, what about the other candidates who made trouble with you? Where are they all?"

Zhou Maoxue stopped and said helplessly, "Your son and the others had already decided not to cause trouble anymore, and they have all returned home."

Zhou Hong heard this and said with contempt, "They are really useless, they don't even have the perseverance to rebel. Also, Fang Zheng Yi doesn't live in the Jianye Marquis's residence, he lives in the Princess's mansion, go to the Princess's mansion."

What? He doesn't live in the Jianye Marquis's residence!

Zhou Maoxue was struck by lightning!

Recalling the scene of leading a large group of people frantically knocking on the door of the Jianye Marquis's residence before, he immediately felt magma flowing across his face.

There was no one in the Jianye Marquis's residence, a group of people were firing at a nonexistent target for two days!

His stomach ached from hunger, and he was about to pee all over the place... but there was no one.

Wasn't he a clown? He was a clown from beginning to end... He had no face left!

Zhou Maoxue lowered his head, clenched his fists, and was ashamed and angry.

Since the person wasn't in the Jianye Marquis's residence, then he wouldn't know what he said, and when he apologized, he could act a little more neither humble nor arrogant... Psychologically, he could still feel that he had some face...

.....

Inside the Princess's mansion, in the study.

Zhang Biao was holding a half-open sword box, standing in front of the desk.

Fang Zheng Yi looked at the sword box suspiciously and said, "This is the weapon you ordered, isn't it just a sword? I'm saying, you don't work out now, what are you doing studying this thing all day long?"

Zhang Biao said, "I work out, but as I get older, my strength is not as good as before, I plan to study more techniques."

"I asked someone from Dongda to customize this, do you want to take it for self-defense, sir?"

Fang Zheng Yi took out the sword from the sword box, held the hilt, and looked at the scabbard, "It's unremarkable, what's so special about it?"

After speaking, he was about to pull it out to take a look.

Zhang Biao immediately said, "It will explode if you pull it out."

"Damn!" Fang Zheng Yi's hand shook and he quickly threw the sword on the table, "Are you trying to kill me!"

Zhang Biao picked up the sword and said, "The power of the explosion is not great, pulling it out halfway will eject the sword, the key is that special poison powder is added inside, if the poison powder explodes out, inhaling it will definitely kill you, but there's nothing inside right now."

"Damn! Who would pull out your sword, your idiotic weapon is useless at all."

"If we were fighting, I guess throwing it to the other party would definitely make them pull it out."

"Huh? Huh....."

Fang Zheng Yi took the sword again and was playing with it when suddenly a servant reported at the door, "Sir, there is a man named Zhou Maoxue outside the mansion, requesting to see you, claiming to be the son of Zhou Hong."

Zhou Maoxue? Why is he here?

Fang Zheng Yi thought for a moment and smiled.

That's a bit interesting, he should have gone home, but now he's actually visiting, could it be that he's not giving up and wants to confront me?

"Alright, bring him to the study. Zhang Biao, you can go back first, I'll keep this sword."

Zhang Biao turned and went out, and soon after, Zhou Maoxue tremblingly entered the study with a letter of apology.

As soon as he entered the door, a sword was thrown directly at him!

Zhou Maoxue instinctively caught the sword with both hands, and the next second he heard a voice.

"Draw your sword!"

Zhou Maoxue did not hesitate and drew his sword directly.

With a bang!

The blade was pulled out halfway, and a huge shock suddenly came from his hand, and the hilt flew out of his hand and shot towards the corner of the wall.

Zhou Maoxue's heart beat wildly as he looked at Fang Zheng Yi.

He saw Fang Zheng Yi holding the sword in his hand, pointing at him blankly.

Damn! Controlling a flying sword? A sword immortal reincarnated!

Ignoring the faint pain in his right hand, Zhou Maoxue panicked and suddenly knelt on the ground.

"Lord Fang! I was wrong! ! !"

"Huh?" Fang Zheng Yi was a little dumbfounded.

He originally wanted to intimidate this kid, but he was so easily frightened, and he didn't look like he was here to confront him.

Fang Zheng Yi rolled his eyes, a wicked smile appeared on his face, and he sat back in his chair.

He said in a deep voice, "Raise your head."

Zhou Maoxue was filled with regret after kneeling down, and his whole body stiffened when he heard the voice.

How could this voice be so familiar?

Zhou Maoxue slowly raised his head, only to see Fang Zheng Yi covering his chin with his hand, with a smile that was not a smile in his eyes.

"Who do I look like?"

A familiar half-face came into view.

How is it possible, how is it possible! ! ?

Zhou Maoxue's eyes went straight, his mind shook, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

"Tang... Tang Bohu! ?"
