Royal Gold Magistrate

Everyone was eagerly waiting for Fang Zheng to take the first bite.

Although they were all wealthy, each dish on the table might be affordable individually. But to have such an array gathered together was truly rare!

Tigers, white bears – these were all fierce beasts, things that money alone couldn’t easily buy! Normally, no one would go to such lengths to eat these things.

Fang Zheng was still hesitating.

Before him hung four giant bear paws, their surfaces brushed with honey, still dripping with oil, looking particularly tempting.

Below was a small charcoal stove still heating them – this dish was hanging-roasted white bear.

Suddenly, Fang Zheng let out a sigh of relief and diverted his chopsticks to pick up some shark fin nearby.

Oh well, although he wanted to try it, he just couldn’t get past the mental barrier. Who doesn’t like round, chubby things? But when cooked, it was a bit unsettling.

Now that he wasn’t starving like before, he really had no interest in wild game.

Seeing Fang Zheng pick up his chopsticks, everyone else began to dig in with gusto.

Fang Zheng took one bite and then stopped eating, quietly observing everyone’s reactions.

Xie Xian wasn’t eating much either, busy going around toasting guests, constantly exchanging cups with people.

Zhang Biao and Li Yuanzhao sat together, both chomping away furiously!

As they ate, Li Yuanzhao looked at Fang Zheng with confusion and said softly, “Eat up, Old Fang! These are such good things!”

“Those delicacies in my palace, I couldn’t bear to eat them, so I buried them.”

“If I had known they tasted this good… Ah, what a waste. I wonder if they’re still edible if I dig them up…”

After speaking, Li Yuanzhao lowered his head and continued to devour his food.

“Tsk…” Fang Zheng looked at him with disdain.

Suddenly, he lowered his head and saw something familiar – a shit-yellow colored button…

Fang Zheng’s gaze sharpened!

Wasn’t this the call button used at hotel front desks and restaurants? Where did it come from?

Surprised, he quickly called Xie Xian over and asked in a low voice, “Where did this thing on the table come from?!”

Xie Xian looked at the bell and smiled, “Master, this is for calling people. When we were decorating Fenghua Tower, we thought it was impolite to call out for service, so we asked Old Qi to design this bell.”

“You just tap it, and someone will come to serve you!”

“Uh… go back to what you were doing.”

Fang Zheng sat in his seat, lost in thought.

Why didn’t I think of that? My own idea has been plagiarized by my own people in advance!

As the guests were in the midst of their feast, Wu Sheng walked over confidently, holding a small baton in his hand.

Fang Zheng watched, feeling dizzy, thinking to himself, “Good heavens!”

Wu Sheng walked step by step onto the stage, while the guests who were eating heartily all turned to look.

Musicians on the second and third floors in various directions picked up their instruments, ready and waiting.

Under the puzzled gazes of everyone, Wu Sheng slowly raised both hands.

Then he suddenly brought them down!

Music erupted from all directions at once!

*Boom!* It was as if a thunderclap had exploded in everyone’s hearts!

Many people who were halfway through eating were startled and shuddered, their mouths gaping open at Wu Sheng, unconsciously letting their food slip out.

As Wu Sheng’s hands continued to dance, music began to play rhythmically from all directions.

At times it was like a gentle breeze passing through a forest, at others like a silver vase shattering, mercury spilling across the ground.

Everyone present was shocked! Except for Zhang Biao, whose mouth never stopped, and Fang Zheng, who had seen grand spectacles before.

Zhang Biao simply didn’t care about these things.

Fang Zheng was different – he only listened to electronic music, and this volume was chicken scratch to him!

Even so, Fang Zheng couldn’t help but admire it in his heart!

He had just talked to Wu Sheng earlier, and after only two days of practice, he could put on such a stunning performance! For an average person, it would take at least two and a half years of practice!

Truly a genius in the entertainment world!

The music continued, and a group of beauties began to dance gracefully to the rhythm.

Their dance moves were alluring and fiery, quite reminiscent of the style of the world’s greatest nation!

However, the guests no longer paid attention to the delicious food or beautiful women – all their attention was captivated by the music.

As the music progressed, the climax gradually emerged. The sounds of zithers, drums, and se harps rang out from all directions like a thundering herd of horses sweeping across the entire venue.

Everyone felt as if their hearts were being gripped, squeezed rhythmically!

Fang Zheng stared at the long white legs dancing on stage, his eyes unmoving.

The atmosphere continued to build, and many guests felt themselves heating up again.

Palpitations, excitement, and impulse surged in their hearts, and some even had the urge to stand up and dance to the music.

Fortunately, everyone was rather restrained and didn’t act on it, only their feet under the table were frantically tapping to the rhythm of the music.

As the mood deepened, Wu Sheng’s conducting began to look frenzied. His whole body seemed electrified as he wildly shook the small wooden baton on stage.

His clothes came undone, and his hair flew wild.

But no one cared about his disheveled appearance anymore. Under the powerful influence of the surround sound music, everyone was moved by his image.

Except for two abnormal humans…

This was a true music master! Compared to this, what were those court musicians playing at home? Even chickens wouldn’t listen to that!

After a long while, the music gradually came to an end.

Wu Sheng closed his eyes, his face in a state of ecstasy, suddenly threw the baton into the air and grabbed it with both hands!

Finished!

All the musicians and listeners were drenched in sweat, feeling utterly exhilarated!

Seeing that the legs had stopped dancing, Fang Zheng quickly stood up and took the lead in applauding!

“Clap clap!”

“Clap clap clap clap clap clap!”

Dense applause echoed across the dining tables.

Someone exclaimed excitedly, “To hear such heavenly music, I can die without regrets!”

“The lingering sound will echo in the rafters for three days!”

“What’s the name of this master?”

Xie Xian hurriedly explained loudly, “Everyone! This is Master Wu Sheng of our Fenghua Tower!”

“Not only is Master Wu’s musical attainment superb, but he’s also proficient in opera! The establishment of Fenghua Tower owes its primary success to Master Wu!”

“Besides this performance, there are many other mysterious works by Master Wu waiting for everyone in Fenghua Tower!”

Hearing this, the crowd praised him profusely, with many people greeting Wu Sheng and offering hefty sums to invite him to their homes.

Wu Sheng’s face was flushed, extremely pleased!

This was life! He had found the true meaning of living!

Back when he was an official, he was miserable running around east and west. Although many people bowed and scraped before him, it was only because of his special position, mere flattery.

Now these people were truly conquered by Wu Sheng’s talent, expressing heartfelt admiration. How exhilarating!

To hell with official positions!

Then Wu Sheng looked towards Fang Zheng and saw him expressionlessly picking at the dishes on the table.

He couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed and slightly ashamed.

As expected of the master, not moved at all by my performance… It seems I still have a long way to go. I must continue to work hard and come up with new tricks!

Wu Sheng’s mindset became more balanced. He looked at the crowd again, quickly tidied up his clothes, and bowed slightly, saying, “Welcome, distinguished guests, to Fenghua Tower Club. Wu Sheng won’t disturb you further!”

With that, he walked off the stage with composure.
