The prince is more stable

Chapter 34: The Traitor's Son
When the surrounding environment is chaotic, as an individual, it is best to act more sociable and not be too calm, as this can easily attract criticism.

In movies and TV shows, while others are fighting in groups, the protagonist is eating and drinking calmly alone... Don't try to imitate him, he has the ability to remain calm.

The dude who was brought down felt very wronged. Perhaps he didn't want to act like a master, mainly because he was forgotten by Chen Shou.

After being kicked in circles for a while, the dude cried out for his parents, even louder than anyone else.

A moment later, more than a dozen playboys with bruised faces and noses knelt side by side on the roadside, holding their heads in their hands, looking so well-behaved that it was heartbreaking.

Zhao Xiaoqian stood in front of them, smiling, his eyes full of joy.

"You should all know me, right?" Zhao Xiaoqian pointed at himself.

The dandies glared at him and gritted their teeth.

"I'm happy that you're being well-behaved, but I don't like the look in your eyes." Zhao Xiaoqian frowned.

Turning his head to look at Chen Shou, Zhao Xiaoqian said: "If the little tree is not pruned, it will not grow straight. Otherwise... give it another beating."

As soon as Chen Shougang rolled up his sleeves, the playboys immediately cried out in a shrill voice: "I surrender, I surrender! Zhao Xiaoqian, no, Prince, whatever you say is what it is!"

Zhao Xiaoqian smiled: "I know you are lip-service but not convinced. You will definitely find a chance to avenge today's grudge. It doesn't matter. This matter is a long-term one. I think the same as you..."

A dandy was surprised: "What's the same?"

"I'm the same. I'm always looking for opportunities to beat you a second time, a third time..." Zhao Xiaoqian answered patiently.

The playboys were stunned and looked at each other, their eyes conveying the same message.

Is this guy crazy?

Two days ago, five playboys were beaten with a stick in the Prince of Chu's mansion. This matter had actually spread. The playboy circle in Bianjing was extremely shocked and could not believe that this was something Zhao Xiaoqian could do.

Zhao Xiaoqian, that timid, eccentric, and eccentric Prince of Chu, the Prince of Chu who would burst into tears if yelled at...

How dare such a person punish the Bian Jing dandy with a cane?

The playboys couldn't believe it and thought for a while that those unlucky guys were exaggerating the facts. With so many people cursing in front of Prince Chu's mansion, who knew if it was the palace guards who acted on their own initiative.

Until today, at this moment, after the playboys were beaten up by Zhao Xiaoqian and the imperial guards, they finally believed it.

They are really brave!

This prince of Chu must have taken some magic elixir recently and has been reborn.

The dandies had complicated expressions, but of course, they remained in a very disciplined kneeling position with their heads in their hands.

"Sir, today we know that you are a hero. We won't dare to cause trouble to you again. How about we let this matter go?" A playboy finally begged for mercy.

Zhao Xiaoqian looked at him, then looked at Zhao Shuangzheng: "Who is he?"

Zhao Shuangzheng took a quick glance and said softly, "The son of the Minister of Revenue, Cai You."

Zhao Xiaoqian was stunned: "Last name Cai? Who is his father?"

"Cai Jing was the magistrate of Kaifeng during the Yuanfeng period. Later, due to the conflict between the old and new rulers, he was banished from the capital. Recently, I heard that he was transferred back to Bianjing by the government to serve as the Minister of Revenue. However, his son has remained in Bianjing to study."

Zhao Xiaoqian smiled.

Cai Jing, the famous treacherous prime minister of the Song Dynasty, unexpectedly met his son here today.

Zhao Xiaoqian didn't know much about history, and he didn't expect that this treacherous prime minister was actually a member of the New Party.

However, Zhao Xiaoqian knew some anecdotes. It was said that the playboy in front of him, Cai You, had a promising future and his power could rival that of his biological father, Cai Jing.

Because of their struggle for power, Cai Jing and Cai You, father and son, became incompatible and became mortal enemies.

Of course, when Cai You gains power in the future, he will not be a good person either, and will not be much better than his father.

At this moment, Cai You was the first to beg for mercy. From this, it can be seen that he is indeed a talented person who knows how to adapt to the times.

"Whether I am a hero or not is not up to you to define. I'll be frank and say that I'm here to take revenge today. As for what revenge I want, I believe you all know. If anyone is pretending to be confused, come out and take a walk." Zhao Xiaoqian said.

No one dared to pretend to be confused. The people Zhao Shuangzheng invited out today were basically the main participants of the last Cuju competition.

As everyone knows, in the last Cuju match, the playboys invited an expert to kick the ball. Zhao Xiaoqian was knocked unconscious by a Cuju just as he came on the court. He did not wake up for a whole day and night. The Chu Palace was ready to hold a funeral.

Is this grudge big?
It was almost a fatality, so of course it was an irreconcilable feud. The playboys were also scared, but later they heard that Zhao Xiaoqian had finally woken up and was out of danger, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

As for whether Zhao Xiaoqian would take revenge, they had never thought about it.

How dare such a cowardly person take revenge?
Who knew that Zhao Xiaoqian actually came to seek revenge? Judging from his words and actions today, his character is even more tough and domineering, which is completely different from his previous personality. Those who don’t know him would think that he was possessed by a ghost.

Cai You was the first person to notice the change in Zhao Xiaoqian. He was indeed a smart man and was the first to beg for mercy.

Hearing that Zhao Xiaoqian wanted to avenge the Cuju game, Cai You was the first to speak without waiting for the other dandies to react.

"We deserve to be taught a lesson by the prince today. We were at fault in the Cuju match that day. If the prince wants to punish us, we will accept it. We will never bear any grudge against him in the future."

Zhao Xiaoqian couldn't help but look at him twice more.

This guy is indeed a talent.

The situation is stronger than the person, and if someone is the first to beg for mercy and accept punishment, then the second and third people who beg for mercy will not be so embarrassing.

With Cai You taking the lead, the other playboys all followed suit and expressed their submission.

Zhao Xiaoqian originally thought that these playboys were arrogant and would not accept being beaten, so he planned to order them to be beaten a few more times.

He didn't expect that there would be a scum among the dudes, who would beg for mercy so readily and put on a rogue posture with his limbs up in the air, allowing him to do whatever he wanted.

Zhao Xiaoqian felt a little uncomfortable when he saw himself kicking a toad with new shoes...

The man has been beaten, and he was beaten badly.

Everyone has begged for mercy, and it would be unjustifiable to beat them again.

Scratching his head in distress, Zhao Xiaoqian pointed at Cai You and asked, "Did you bring any money?"

Cai You was stunned, and subconsciously reached into his arms, took out a bulging purse, and handed it over with both hands obediently.

Zhao Xiaoqian took the purse and looked around at the other playboys.

The playboys all donated generously and handed over their purses meekly.

After receiving a dozen or so money bags, Zhao Xiaoqian continued, "I heard that during the last Cuju match, someone used me as the banker for betting, and the winnings and losses were quite large, with the highest amount being several hundred strings of cash. If you are sensible, you should know what to do, right?"

Cai You said without hesitation, "Regardless of whether we win or lose, we will send the amount of the bet we made last time to your residence tomorrow. What do you think, Your Highness?"

Zhao Xiaoqian sighed. This guy was too smart and he had no idea where to start.

The man was beaten and the money was taken, what else can be done?

But Zhao Xiaoqian always felt something was wrong. Perhaps he was not completely satisfied yet, but the other person was too cooperative.

His cheeks twitched a few times, and Zhao Xiaoqian looked at Cai You deeply again, and waved his hand unwillingly: "Chen Shou, return to the palace."

Just as he was about to lead the imperial guards away, he saw Zhao Shuangzheng stop and stare at one of the playboys.

Just as Zhao Xiaoqian was about to greet him, Zhao Shuangzheng suddenly ran over, kicked the man hard, and cursed, "I told you not to steal my Miss Yanling!"

Then, as if afraid of being retaliated against, Zhao Shuangzheng ran away after kicking him.

Zhao Xiaoqian was stunned.

This guy's way of taking advantage of others' power... is so skillful!
After taking a few quick steps, Zhao Xiaoqian hooked his arm around Zhao Shuangzheng's neck, his eyes ablaze with gossip: "Who was that person you kicked?"

Zhao Shuangzheng gritted his teeth: "He's just a rat."

"Who is Miss Yanling?"

"A woman I like... from a brothel."

Zhao Xiaoqian immediately had a picture in his mind: a legendary story of jealousy and strife...

"That man stole your beloved girl, and you just kicked him and that's it?" Zhao Xiaoqian fanned the flames.

Zhao Shuangzheng was stunned: "Yes..."

Turning around, Zhao Shuangzheng snatched the iron rod from a guard's hand. His eyes were red: "I'll beat him!"
