The scholar looked at Zhu Youxiao angrily and questioned him.

Although my father has resigned and returned home, he was a third-rank official after all. Ordinary people either have never heard of him, or among those who have heard of him, how many dare to call him by his name?

Not to mention the young man in front of him, who looks a few years younger than himself!

"Who is my master? Are you qualified to ask?"

Yutong slapped the scholar again, and his cheek became swollen in an instant.

He was hit once on the left side and twice on the right side. Because he used too much force, Yutong's hands became numb.

The result was that his right face was almost a circle fatter than his left face...

Zhu Youxiao did not answer the scholar's question, but raised his eyebrows at Sun Kangwang.

"Search this guy and see how much confidence he has for his wealth and power."

Upon hearing this, Sun Kangwang was about to start searching him, but at this moment, the scholars around him started to make a noise.

“Stop, who are you? Do you know where this place is?!”

"That's right. This is Nanjing City. You are acting so arrogantly. Do you have any respect for the law?"

"I have sent people to invite the Five Cities Army. If you know what's best for you, release Master Zhou right away!"

"........."

Zhu Youxiao originally did not delve into the issue of scholars visiting prostitutes, after all, it was a characteristic of the times.

But the faces of these scholars made him more disgusted.

Are they the future flowers of the Ming Dynasty?

Shit!

Sun Kangwang did not stop because of the voices of those scholars. In a blink of an eye, he searched the scholar named Zhou thoroughly, even his crotch was not spared.

"Master, all the money this kid has is here. The total amount of banknotes and small change is over 2,700 taels!"

He pointed at the property on the ground and reported to Zhu Youxiao.

More than two thousand seven hundred taels!

This is definitely a huge sum of money!

How could the son of a retired third-rank official carry so much money with him?

Where is it?

Zhu Youxiao casually asked, "How much was his father's salary when he was in power?"

Sun Kangwang clasped his hands and replied, "According to the regulations, a third-rank official should receive a monthly salary of thirty-five dan!"

Zhu Youxiao stared at the scholar named Zhou and shouted coldly.

"Your father's monthly salary is thirty-five dan, which is only seventy taels of silver!"

"The money you have is enough to cover his salary for three years!"

"Such a wasteful act didn't ruin the Zhou family. This shows how wealthy old Zhou Daodeng is."

"The court officials forbid business, so can you tell me where your Zhou family's money comes from?"

It seemed like he was interrogating him, but he didn't even give the scholar Zhou a chance to answer and went straight to Sun Kangwang.

"Send him to Nanjing Jinyiwei and send someone to Zhou Daodeng's hometown!"

"Check carefully to see how much of the Zhou family's assets are in violation of the imperial court's laws!"

The scholar surnamed Zhou didn't react at first, but when he was carried towards the city, he suddenly panicked. He looked at Zhu Youxiao with horror.

"Who the hell are you!"

"Why should you arrest me?"

"let me go!"

"..."

But his struggle was obviously unnecessary, as the Jinyiwei who were escorting him would neither pay any attention to him nor let him go.

This scene also stunned the scholars around.

They were shouting just now, but suddenly became quiet.

Some smart people have already understood something from what Zhu Youxiao just said.

The young man in front of them was definitely not someone they could afford to mess with!

The matter should have come to an end here, and Zhu Youxiao no longer had any interest in visiting the mother and daughter.

It was already late, and considering that he had to go to the palace to attend government meetings tomorrow, he prepared to go back and rest.

But just as he was about to turn around and leave, the madam of Miaolanfang suddenly called him from behind.

"Sir, please stay!"

Zhu Youxiao turned around and glanced at her: "What's the matter?"

The madam bowed and said, "Thank you for helping me out. If you don't mind, could you please come aboard and have a couple of glasses of wine before you leave? That will be a small token of my gratitude."

Zhu Youxiao: ???

"Doesn't your girl have to pass three tests or something? My literary talent is average, so it's better not to show off here."

The madam flung the handkerchief in her hand and said coquettishly, "Look at what you are saying, young master. Others have to pass the three levels. You have helped me so much, so you don't need to do the same as others."

"Okay, then have a glass of wine before leaving!" After thinking it over again and again, Zhu Youxiao nodded and agreed to her invitation.

It doesn’t matter whether they are mother-daughter or not.

He was just a little thirsty...

Amid the envious and jealous looks of the surrounding scholars, he was taken onto the boat by two maids. Youtong and Zhen Beiwang followed closely behind. When the two maids were about to stop them, they were stopped by the madam's eyes.

The flower boat is actually not that big, with each floor only about a hundred square meters.

As soon as he got on the boat, he was greeted by a strong smell of cosmetics. Zhu Youxiao couldn't tell whether it was the fragrance of flowers or not, but the mixture of various smells made him feel a little uncomfortable.

After being escorted up to the second floor, the old procuress politely led him to a room overlooking the river and sat him down. Then her old face smiled as bright as a chrysanthemum.

"Please wait a moment, sir. I will have someone prepare the wine and food."

"Mr. Shancai just sent someone to tell me that she will come to you in person to offer you two glasses of wine to thank you for your help."

The food and wine arrived quickly, mostly fresh river food, and the waiter also brought two jars of girl's red wine.

It was already the beginning of the Xu hour, around seven in the evening, and Zhu Youxiao was indeed feeling a little hungry.

Looking at these dishes and wine, I couldn't help but feel hungry, so I picked up the chopsticks and wanted to taste them.

But Yutong, who was guarding outside the door, rushed in without saying hello, took out a pair of silver chopsticks from his arms, and tasted all the dishes on the table like a whirlwind.

This stuff is very fast!

Even the fish meat with bones could not affect his speed in the slightest.

There is flesh at the left corner of the mouth and thorns at the right corner of the mouth!

Like a fucking machine...

The old procuress was stunned!

what's the situation?

Crazy!

How dare a servant snatch food from his master?

Before she could react, Youtong put away the silver chopsticks, bowed and said.

"Master, I'm full, please continue!"

Zhu Youxiao has long been accustomed to this. These guys can't even let him have a good meal!

Gan!

He pointed at the door speechlessly and said, "Get lost when you're full! You're ruining my mood!"

"Hey, thank you for your understanding!"

Youtong smiled wickedly, turned around and went back outside, closed the door, and stood guard obediently with Zhen Beiwang.

Chapter 114 Sir, do you know? Mei'er shouldn't have cared about

Only then did the madam come to her senses.

Grab food?

Unless she was stupid, she would not believe that a servant would dare to snatch food from the master!

The guy's behavior just now was obviously testing poison for his master!

What is the identity of this young man in front of me?

He could send the son of a third-rank official to the Imperial Guard, and even threatened to thoroughly investigate his family background. Now he even has a servant who specializes in testing poisons beside him...

wrong!

The guy who tested the poison seemed to have a sharp voice?

Eunuch? !

The madam's pupils dilated instantly and she looked at Zhu Youxiao in disbelief.

There are only two possibilities for the identity of this person who has a eunuch by his side!

One is the current emperor!

The second is the vassal king or his descendants!

She didn't dare to think of the emperor, so the man in front of her must be the son of a prince of a certain vassal state...

Thinking of this, her heart began to beat wildly. She reached out and touched her forehead. The wrinkles there made her feel a little regretful...

I gave birth too early!

I finally met a noble person, but my face has aged...

However, don’t be afraid!

I live a good life!

The madam grinned, put her hand on Zhu Youxiao's shoulder, forced a smile that she thought was very charming, and whispered in Zhu Youxiao's ear.

"Sir, your servants are so loyal!"

The warm air flow blowing on his earlobe made Zhu Youxiao feel numb all over his body.

Damn, this breath is poisonous...

He jumped up on the spot and kicked hard.

"Hey! Where did this monster come from!"

The madam had never expected such a thing to happen. She was kicked to the ground on the spot, and her old face was distorted to the extreme.

But when she turned over, she didn't look angry at all. Instead, she endured the pain and smiled flatteringly.

"Please forgive me, sir. I don't know how high the heaven is or how deep the earth is."

"For a person of your status, only Shancai-kun is worthy of serving you."

"Please wait a moment, sir. I will go and call her to accompany you for a drink."

After saying that, he turned around and left in embarrassment.

Zhu Youxiao patted his chest in fear to calm his breathing. Damn, the old woman's mouth was almost close to his face!

So scary........

He poured himself a large bowl of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

"Bang, bang, bang! Sir, can I come in?"

Soon, a clear voice came from outside the door, sounding a little childish.
