"How arrogant!"

"Arrogant? I think he's just showing off before he dies. He really doesn't know his own limitations. He'll know how powerful he is when Zhang Jun and his men beat him to the ground and he can't get up."

"It's useless. Anyone can say a few harsh words. It's not like no one has ever said harsh words to Zhang Jun before, and what was the result?"

"Unless he is the man who made Lei Yan bow down this morning, it is hard to find anyone who can remain unscathed in this situation. But could he be him? How is that possible?"

No one believed that Tang Huan was the mysterious person who was rumored this morning.

People generally felt that he was just an ordinary person who didn't know how powerful Zhang Jun was, just like everyone else Zhang Jun had dealt with in the past, and the result would naturally be the same.

"Hey, I just heard him say he's Tang Huan from Qihuai County? Have you guys heard of that name before?"

Some people belatedly realized something.

"Tang Huan, Cui Yuanzhao did seem to call that young man 'Lord Tang' this morning. Could it really be the same person?"

"How could that be? Do you think Cui Yuanzhao, with his status, would care so much about a mere county magistrate? There aren't many people in the capital who could make Cui Yuanzhao act like that, let alone the magistrate of Qihuai County."

"It's just a backward and impoverished little county. Its power is only slightly greater than that of the soldiers guarding the capital. Now it dares to compare itself with the son of the Minister of Personnel?"

The public held a pessimistic view of Tang Huan.

At the same time, Zhang Jun also began to ponder.

The incident that morning caused quite a stir, and even though Zhang Jun didn't deliberately inquire about it, he heard about it.

His father, as the Minister of Personnel, was from the same lineage as the prime minister, so of course he wouldn't miss such a crucial matter, and he had mentioned it at home during the day.

Zhang Jun couldn't quite remember what his father said at the time, since he didn't care much and thought it was no big deal.

This caused Zhang Jun some trouble.

Because he couldn't immediately determine whether the arrogant Tang Huan in front of him was that person.

We can't exactly go to Young Master Lei to confirm, can we?

"At this point, if I back down, I'll only become a laughing stock in the capital..."

Zhang Jun gritted his teeth.

His reputation has spread throughout the capital for too long; if he suddenly retreats now, he will only be ridiculed.

If Tang Huan wasn't that mysterious person, he would have become the laughingstock of his peers for the next few months, with the other ministers' sons waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

Zhang Jun would not allow this to happen.

Absolutely not.

"I just can't believe my luck is so bad that I could actually run into him!"

Zhang Jun, somewhat reckless, gave Zhang Ling a wink.

Zhang Ling understood immediately and stepped out from the group.

Li Daikui's presence made Zhang Ling somewhat wary, but with the large group behind him as a backer, Zhang Ling calmed down considerably.

He looked at Tang Huan and sneered, "Tang Huan from Qihuai County? Never heard of him. Offending the young master is the biggest mistake you've ever made. You'll regret it for the rest of your life."

After saying that, Zhang Ling ran a few steps towards Tang Huan, then clenched her right fist and punched Tang Huan hard in the face.

Tang Huan had anticipated that Shi Jian would make such a threatening statement.

He flipped over and fell off the chair, avoiding Zhang Ling's punch.

"Useless trash, all you do is hide?"

Zhang Ling's attack missed, and he cursed under his breath.

Tang Huan looked at Zhang Ling across a chair and said, "Who's trash? If you're really that good, go fight Da Kui. What kind of skill is it to compete with me?"

Zhang Ling's lips twitched; this Li Daikui was truly beyond her ability to handle.

Don't be fooled by the number of people watching over us; if we really anger that burly man, we'll be in deep trouble.

They say even a cornered dog will jump over a wall. If I anger Li Daikui, he might bite off a piece of my flesh before he dies.

Therefore, Zhang Ling dared not.

With Zhang Jun's prompting, he directly attacked Tang Huan.

Picking the weakest link and incidentally defeating Tang Huan, that was the end of the matter.

"grown ups……"

Li Daikui became anxious when he saw Tang Huan being attacked.

But as soon as he took a step, he saw that the others behind Zhang Jun also stepped forward in unison.

Li Daikui clenched his fists, standing there unwillingly.

You can take action yourself, but the result would be that all of the other side would also join in, making it even more dangerous for the adults to be caught in the middle.

It would be better to face Zhang Ling alone now. After all, I've already fought this servant; he's just a weakling with no substance.

As soon as he made the decision, Qin Yu urged, "What are you still standing there for..."

Li Daikui said with a wry smile, "My dear aunt, don't you understand the situation? If I make a move now, you and the adults will be the first to suffer. I can't stop everyone."

Qin Yu lowered his voice and said, "Go find Cui Yuanzhao. Isn't he a good friend of the adults?"

"How could there be time? By the time I get back from the Prime Minister's residence with men, the Lord's body will be cold. Do you think you can hold off so many people?"

Qin Yu knew Li Daikui was right. Seeing Zhang Ling eager to try again, she couldn't help but feel anxious.

So he shouted, "Wait! He's a good friend of Cui Yuanzhao. If you keep acting recklessly, you'll only offend Cui Yuanzhao and cause trouble for yourself."

Now that things have come to this, this is the only way to do it.

The moment Cui Yuanzhao's name was mentioned, the scene fell silent for a moment.

What followed was an increasingly heated discussion.

Zhang Jun was silent for a moment, then sneered, "Putting on airs? You think I'd actually believe you?"

Zhang Jun had his doubts, but he didn't think it was likely.
