Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Li Yuanzhao completely panicked as he watched Fang Zheng, who was lying limply in his arms, fall into a coma. Beads of sweat covered his forehead as he pinched Fang Zheng's philtrum, terrified that he might die right there.

Having known Lao Fang for so long, he had never seen him in such a state.

Even when he was kidnapped to the Jin Kingdom, he was still incredibly fierce, even managing to become an emperor.

Such a ruthless person with an exceptionally strong mentality was now so angered by his son that he was rolling his eyes....

The blow was clearly severe!

Due to the sudden change, Li Yu also stood trembling to the side, at a loss for what to do.

After pressing for a long time, Fang Zheng's eyes slowly opened a slit.

His philtrum throbbed with pain, turning a shade of purple from the pinching, and his 'Great Zuo' aura gradually emerged.

Li Yuanzhao continuously applied pressure with his index finger, relentlessly calling out, "Lao Fang, wake up! Your son got first place!"

"You... please stop trying to anger me...." Fang Zheng endured the pain, weakly pushing away Li Yuanzhao's hand and looking at Li Yu, saying feebly, "You said... he got last place. Who has been helping him with his exams all this time? Did he force others to cheat for him?"

Li Yu pursed his lips, worried that Fang Zheng would be angered again, and stammered, "It's Zhang Ling... Zhang Ling owed him a lot of silver from playing marbles. It wasn't entirely coercion... He used to treat his classmates to candy often."

Fang Zheng felt another wave of pain in his heart.

At such a young age, he already knows how to build relationships and bribe people?

He had originally thought that his son, born into a wealthy family, would grow into a perfect, modest gentleman.

But before he even grew up, he was already completely off track....

"Go! Go and bring Zhang Ling to me." Fang Zheng picked up the belt in his hand and pointed it at Li Yu, "Let him take this belt and whip that little brat. He's not allowed to stop until I tell him to!"

"Who else has he bullied? Bring them all over here and have them line up to be whipped!"

Li Yu's little face twitched, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes as he looked at Fang Zheng.

The teacher... is too ruthless! He's so merciless when dealing with his own son.

"Go! Your Master Fang told you to go, what are you standing there for? Do you think you're exempt?" Li Yuanzhao stood up and kicked Li Yu, knocking him to the ground.

Why kick me again?

Li Yu lay on the ground, a teardrop welling up in his eyes... then he slowly got up, and walked towards the classroom uneasily.

After Li Yu left, Fang Zheng could no longer hold it in.

Ignoring the Embroidered Uniform Guards at his side, he covered his face and sobbed, "Your Highness... I... I've never suffered such grievance in my life..."

Li Yuanzhao supported Fang Zheng's back, his mouth slowly widening.

He's crying from anger... Lao Fang is actually crying from anger, that shows how big of a blow it was. But... is it really necessary?

"Everyone turn around! Don't look!" Li Yuanzhao shouted sternly at the surrounding Embroidered Uniform Guards.

Several Embroidered Uniform Guards immediately turned around in a fluster, their faces pale.

It's over, the commander is crying like this without even drinking any alcohol, will he give me trouble when we get back?

Fang Zheng cried out loud, his voice breaking: "That's my seed!... When I was a kid, I was only third from the bottom at worst... I put so much effort into making him study hard, I specially set up a large study, and pretended to read books for several years! Who did I do it for... and in the end, I raised such a thing... ."

"I even created the Great Navigation and the Industrial Revolution.... But I couldn't teach a little brat properly... Wuwu.."

Li Yuanzhao's expression was both flustered and awkward.

What is Lao Fang talking about? He's starting to ramble.

He was third from the bottom.... What kind of genius class was that? And what is the Industrial Revolution?

Fang Zheng felt a sense of frustration weighing down on him.

No one can understand how he feels. This time, he was truly defeated, completely defeated!

Putting aside the initial difficulties of starting a business, since coming out of Taoyuan County, he has had countless resources at his disposal and can be said to be able to summon wind and rain, although there have been some twists and turns.

But he has overcome them all and created the great cause of today. He has long positioned himself as a giant who changes history.

Failure to raise a child is nothing to ordinary people, after all, having children is like having piglets, litter after litter, if one is ruined, there is another one.

Although he now has the qualifications to have piglets, the ideological steel seal of refined cultivation from his previous life has already been firmly imprinted.

Having lived two lives, he has such a son, and he has been thinking about cultivating him into a top gentleman, spending countless efforts and resources. He thought that he would be successful and everything would fall into place, but in the end... he raised a juvenile con artist, and the first case was a shocking one.

It hurts to the point of being unable to breathe!

Li Yuanzhao sighed: "Lao Fang, it's not that bad, think about it optimistically, at least Chenyu is smart enough. Think about it, who else could do such a thing? This child will definitely have a great future."

As he spoke, Zhang Ling, who had just come out of the classroom not far away, had already started whipping Fang Chenyu with the belt.

"Zhang Ling, haven't you eaten? Can't you put a little more effort into it? If my dad starts, it won't be this light." Fang Chenyu whispered anxiously.

The two Embroidered Uniform Guards and Li Yu pretended to be looking at the scenery around.

Zhang Ling said with a bitter face: "Brother Fang, I'm afraid of hurting you..."

"It's okay, you don't have much strength. Take off my pants and hit me, hit me until there's a mark, otherwise I'll be dead! Hurry up!" Fang Chenyu kept urging.

Zhang Ling stepped forward, helped him take off his pants, and revealed his white and tender buttocks.

"Then I'll hit you... By the way, Brother Fang, when are we going to set off firecrackers?"

"Hurry up and hit me, if you talk nonsense, I won't take you! Ah~~!"

Waves of wails kept coming...

Fang Zheng propped himself up and looked over, and couldn't help but soften his heart again.

This son is afraid of falling if he's held in his hand, and afraid of melting if he's held in his mouth. He can still control the strength if he hits him himself, but he can't accept it if someone else hits him.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuanzhao glanced sideways and suddenly sneered: "This little brat is pretending!"

What clumsy acting! It's simply ridiculous in his eyes!

"Is that so?" Fang Zheng wiped his face, his eyes red, and his eyes flashed fiercely as he gritted his teeth and said, "Then please, Your Highness, carry out the punishment, don't, be, po, lite!"

"No, pro, blem."

The two stood up at the same time, exuding murderous aura, and walked towards Fang Chenyu.

Walking closer, Li Yuanzhao already held the gold-inlaid jade belt in his hand.

Fang Zheng pulled Zhang Ling over, took back the belt and pulled him aside, and looked at Fang Chenyu coldly.

Seeing the two's unkind faces, Fang Chenyu immediately put on a pitiful look: "Uncle, Dad, why are you hitting me? Can't I just admit my mistake?"

Li Yuanzhao snorted lightly: "Still dare to be stubborn, it seems you're not that smart after all."

With that, he whipped his buttocks hard with a belt!

The whip was crisp and loud, and Fang Chenyu was in great pain, wailing: "Uncle, spare me!"

Li Yuanzhao turned a deaf ear and continued to whip him one after another.

Fang Zheng said in a deep voice: "Cheating money, threatening classmates, getting last place. Fang Chenyu, you even dare to lie to me, how dare you beg for mercy now?"

"I'm telling you, today's matter is a small punishment, we're not done yet!"

Dad knows everything?

Fang Chenyu looked at Li Yu in despair: "Your Highness, you betrayed me?"

Li Yu said shamefully: "Chenyu, the teacher knows everything, you can't hide it... Just honestly take a beating, and it will be over later."

"Who asked you to speak! You're next!" A trace of sharpness flashed in Li Yuanzhao's eyes.
