To the First Emperor of Qin: The state has decreed this!

Chapter 115 My father is Han Zhen, the Commandant of Shangdang County!

at the same time.

The Feng residence.

Prefect Feng Yuan, Commandant Han Zhen, and Wei Sheng, head of the Wei family.

The three are sitting around a table for a meeting.

"What exactly is His Majesty thinking?"

Commandant Han Zhen frowned and spoke first.

"Sending such a lecherous scoundrel with a bunch of conscripts to mine coal in Shangdang is utterly ridiculous!"

Wei Sheng, the head of the Wei family, echoed:

"Excellent! This young man went straight to Ji Honglou upon arrival!"

"This reveals his true nature! We must be on guard!"

"Shut up, all of you!"

Prefect Feng Yuan gave a low shout, silencing the two men's complaints.

His eyes gleamed with a sharp light as he said in a deep voice:

"This person is named Zhang Fan, a Celestial Master personally appointed by the Emperor!"

"He is a close advisor to His Majesty!"

Whether he's a womanizer or not is none of our business!

"Wei Sheng!"

Feng Yuan turned his gaze to the head of the Wei family.

"Stay put for the rest of you!"

"Don't cause any trouble!"

"What we need to consider now is not making an enemy of him, but... whether we can win him over!"

Before he could finish speaking...

"Report—!"

A servant tumbled in.

"You scoundrel! You have no manners!"

Feng Yuan was furious. Seeing the servant's panic, he became enraged and slapped him across the face!

"Snapped!"

The crisp sound echoed through the hall.

"Speak! What is it!"

The servant covered his face, knelt on the ground with a pitiful expression, and said urgently:

"Mansion...Master of the Mansion!"

"That...that Master Zhang, he...he went to Ji Honglou!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Yuan's anger intensified!

"Didn't I already give the order?"

"Master Zhang may go wherever he wishes, and no one may interfere!"

"You need to report such a trivial matter?! Get lost!"

"No...no, Lord!"

The servant was almost in tears, and gasped as he shouted:

"I...our people saw...they saw Young Master Han and Young Master Wei...go in too!!"

Feng Yuan's impending outburst of curses abruptly ceased.

"...What did you say?"

He was stunned.

Han Zhen and Wei Sheng, who were standing nearby, were also stunned.

The entire hall fell into a deathly silence!

The expressions on the faces of the three bigwigs became incredibly interesting at that moment!

They knew all too well what kind of good-for-nothing their son was!

An arrogant and domineering person!

A treacherous and lecherous man!

These two troublemakers bumped into the powerful "Master Zhang" in Ji Honglou?!

"It's over!"

Feng Yuan's mind went blank for a moment, and only those two words remained!

"quick!"

Han Zhen was the first to react, and he jumped up, his voice trembling.

"Hurry to Ji Honglou!!"

Wei Sheng was so frightened that he trembled all over and turned pale.

What if... what if those two beasts offended Master Zhang...

The consequences would be unbearable for any of the three families!

The three of them no longer cared about maintaining their dignity as big shots and scrambled out of the mansion.

Leading his most elite servants, he rushed madly toward Ji Honglou!

At this time.

Ji Honglou, inside Tingxue Pavilion.

The air was filled with the gentle fragrance of sandalwood, creating a tranquil atmosphere.

As soon as Zhang Fan, Wei Shan, and Han Kou stepped into the room, their eyes were drawn to the room.

Behind a huge jade screen, a graceful figure could be vaguely seen sitting and playing the zither.

The clear and melodious sound of the zither, like a mountain spring, cleanses the soul.

The three of them were stunned by just a glimpse of his back.

"Young masters, please come forward."

From behind the screen came the enchanting voice of Fairy Pei.

The three stepped forward and went around the screen.

The moment I saw Fairy Pei's true face!

Even Zhang Fan's breath caught in his throat!

Something!

The woman before me had a veil covering her face as thin as a cicada's wing.

But just by looking at those bright, clear eyes and those flawless features, one could tell that she was absolutely a stunning beauty who could topple kingdoms!

That was an ethereal, otherworldly aura!

Han Kou stared wide-eyed, his face flushed with excitement, and he clenched his fists.

Wei Shan immediately put on a charming smile, cupped his hands, and was about to strike up a conversation:

"Fairy..."

however.

Fairy Pei seemed not to see him at all.

Her gaze remained fixed on Zhang Fan the entire time.

In those clear, beautiful eyes, there was a hint of curiosity, a hint of inquiry, and even a strange glint that she herself was unaware of, which flickered slightly.

I was... I was ignored!

Wei Shan's smile froze on his face.

for a long time.

Fairy Pei withdrew her gaze, her voice regaining its cool tone, and said calmly to the three of them:

"Gentlemen, please have a seat."

Han Kou plopped down on the prayer mat next to Zhang Fan.

Seeing that Fairy Pei's gaze remained fixed on Zhang Fan, he was filled with both jealousy and anger!

He leaned closer to Zhang Fan and lowered his voice.

"Kid, I'm warning you one more time!"

"My father is Han Zhen, the Commandant of Shangdang County!"

"In Shangdang County, whoever I want to die, won't live past the next day!"

"You'd better be sensible!"

Faced with this blatant threat, Zhang Fan merely smiled slightly, without even lifting his eyelids.

Again!

This kind of ignoring again!

Silent treatment is awful!

Han Kou was so angry he gritted his teeth!

On the other side, Wei Shan did not stand up to mock Han Kou as he had done before.

He was equally unhappy!

He himself was the eldest son of the prestigious Wei family, a dashing and debonair man.

How could a nobody steal the spotlight?

He was even publicly ignored by Fairy Pei?

He was also a little jealous, so he simply crossed his arms and watched coldly from the sidelines.

Zhang Fan completely ignored these two clowns.

He looked up at Fairy Pei and asked directly:

"Fairy, please ask the third question."

This statement came out.

Wei Shan and Han Kou immediately composed themselves and looked at Fairy Pei.

Fairy Pei's beautiful eyes lingered on Zhang Fan's face for a moment before she slowly spoke, her voice clear and cold:

"This young lady is of limited talent and learning, so for this third question, I will not test her knowledge of poetry, songs, or the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting."

She paused, then parted her red lips slightly:

"Then take the exam...mathematics and physics."

Mathematics?!

Upon hearing these two words, Wei Shan was overjoyed!

He quickly interjected:

"Mathematics? Hahaha, fairy, you've come to the right person!"

"My Wei family's trading company is located throughout the world, and I have been quite knowledgeable about the art of counting rods since childhood!"

"I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I've certainly achieved some success!"

His face was radiating confidence!

In his opinion, this was a question tailor-made for him!

Seeing this, Han Kou, though ignorant of mathematics, refused to admit defeat in terms of momentum.

He stiffened his neck and said:

"Hmph! It's just a simple number calculation; anyone can do that!"

Fairy Pei remained calm, seemingly having anticipated their reactions.

She looked at Wei Shan and said calmly:

"Since Young Master Wei is proficient in this, then please listen to the question."

"There is something whose quantity is unknown!"

"When you count by threes, there are two left over; when you count by fives, there are three left over; when you count by sevens, there are two left over."

"How much of this is there?"

The voice just fell.

Wei Shan's smile froze instantly!

"This...this..."

His mind raced, his fingers frantically gesturing in his sleeve, and he muttered to himself.

Two remainder after counting three by three?

Is there three left over when you count fives together?

Is there two left over when you count seven times seven?

What the hell is this thing?!
