"What about the money for a meal in the future?"

The few of them seemed to have already heard the hidden meaning behind the purple robed young master's words, and their bodies all trembled. However, under such domineering circumstances, it seemed like they had no other choice.

With sullen faces, they slowly took out the silver they had just shared with great difficulty.

"Young master, that's all! Is that enough? "

In regards to the silver handed to him, the purple-robed man only indifferently glanced at it before saying:

"Luo Ze, go and calculate the amount of silver they gave us, right?"

"Yes sir!"

Hearing his young master's orders, Luo Ze immediately stepped forward, retrieved his long sword from the scabbard, walked around the shopkeeper and beckoned for the abacus on his body. He extended two slender fingers and started dialing the abacus.

Starting from the location of the tablet outside the Confusion Forest, you have been following us since then. Along the way, we've killed a total of eighty-six first grade spirit beasts, forty-two second grade spirit beasts, and twenty-five third grade spirit beasts. According to the current purchase price of the Hall of Justice, first grade spirit beasts are worth ten taels of silver, second grade spirit beasts are worth twenty taels of silver, and third grade spirit beasts worth fifty taels of silver.

When Zhao Xiaoxue heard that Luo Ze was calculating while counting, she was even more shocked than before. She couldn't believe that the person who calculated the price was really the honest looking Imperial Guard Luo.

'Bang! '

At the same time, he had also strummed the heartstrings of the three people across from him. The numbers they had heard were almost exactly the same as the calculations of the Hall of Justice, and this was simply a god. At this moment, it was hard to tell how regretful they were for coming to this restaurant.

"Alright, the total is 2,950 taels of silver!" Do you think that's enough? "

When Luo Ze returned the abacus to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper was so surprised that he didn't even know to pick up the abacus. It seemed that this kind of tool for calculating money should originally be the one facing him.

"Young master..." Young master, we painstakingly accumulated all of these. Although we didn't help kill the spirit beasts, the collection of blood essence and that skinning job were done by us painstakingly! You can't just take it away! "

This was not a small amount of wealth, and they were all willing to let it go. The three people who were previously so aggressive were now like dogs that had lost their homes. They no longer cared about their status and directly kneeled in front of the purple-robed gongzi.

"Young master, please do well. We know we were wrong. We had eyes but did not recognize Mount Tai. We did not know that the lady opposite us was actually one of young master's men. We deserve to die for our earlier offense!"

As the three spoke, they were about to slap themselves.

"Hurry up and pay up. Everyone is hungry, so I forgot to tell you. After you get hungry, someone's temper will get worse!"

Although the purple-robed young master's voice wasn't sharp, on the contrary it sounded very gentle, but the three people were so scared that they didn't know what to do. Although they didn't want to pay the money, they wanted to die even more, so they could only give up their love.

Under Zhao Xiaoxue's astonished gaze, the three people who were kneeling opposite to her took out several puffy little bags from their bosom. Their seemingly round stomachs were quickly reduced.

So it turned out that their stomachs were actually propped up by the silver. However, Zhao Xiaoxue didn't know that this gentle looking man had actually robbed them to such an extent.

"Young master, all our silver is here!"

Not long after, a pile of small bags appeared in Luo Ze's hands. Looking at these hot bags, the three of them felt heartache, but no matter how much they felt heartache, they were unable to defeat the opponent.

"Alright, you have enough silver. You can leave now!"

Luo Ze held the heavy silver, indicating that the other party could leave. However, the three of them were reluctant to part with so much silver. They looked at the silver with both of their eyes.

"If you don't want to leave, then don't. In any case, the Wu Country has been visited by spirit beasts so many times. Along the way, they have to find people to help collect their blood essence fur. You guys seem just right!"

Hearing the words of the purple-robed man, the three of them immediately withdrew their gazes in fright. Then, with their heads lowered, they quickly turned around:

"We will leave now! We will leave now! "

The three of them hurried downstairs, anxious that they wouldn't be able to leave even if they wanted to.

"Wah!" "So much silver!"

Zhao Xiaoxue quickly turned into a miser and rushed forward, carrying her heavy small bag with her. She was extremely happy in her heart.

"Luo Ze, keep the silver well!"

"Yes sir!"

Since the young master had spoken, how could Luo Ze dare to hesitate? He quickly asked the guard beside him to bring a large bag with all of the silver inside.

Seeing the silver being transferred, Zhao Xiaoxue felt reluctant to part with it. Actually, her request wasn't that high. All she needed to do was leave her a small bag of silver.

"Miss Xiaoxue, you …"

Luo Ze didn't seem to forget the last bag of silver in Zhao Xiaoxue's hand as he started to ask for it.

"Guard Luo, can you leave this bag of silver to me …"

Zhao Xiaoxue also knew that asking for silver like this wasn't right, but there was nothing she could do. If she wanted to leave the Southern King's group later, she had to have some money. Otherwise, it would be difficult to take even a single step.

"This... Miss Xiaoxue should ask Young Master! "

Luther did not dare to make such a decision.

Hearing Luo Ze's words, Zhao Xiaoxue slowly turned around and looked at the man across from her with a fawning expression:

"That... Can you lend me this bag of silver? "When I get more money in the future, I will definitely return it to you!"

Zhao Xiaoxue really wasn't lying. At least she had her medical skills, making money shouldn't be too difficult.

The man didn't respond to the woman's question. He merely walked forward slowly and pointed to a palm-sized plate on the ground.

"If you can tell me what's written on this token, I'll lend you this bag of silver!"

Hearing the words of the purple-robed young master, the shopkeeper, who was observing the situation from the side and not daring to make a sound, smiled. It turned out that this powerful young master liked to play with this girl, and from the looks of it, this young lady's status was not low, and her temperament was not weak either.

The other guards thought that it was obvious that their young master wanted to give the silver to the young lady. However, based on the relationship between the young lady and the young master, not to mention giving her a small bag of silver, no one would think it was inappropriate even if they gave her a big bag of silver.

"Miss Xiaoxue, take it. It seems like Young Master intends to give this bag of silver to you!"

With a smile on his face, Luo Ze picked up the plate and handed it over to Miss Xiaoxue. It's just a small matter, it seems like they can directly seal this big bag.

"Recognition? "The words on this sign …"

Zhao Xiaoxue took the sign from Luo Ze and looked at it for a long time. She was a master's student after all, and even if she didn't know all the dictionaries, she could at least know more than half of them.

"What is it? Don't you know him? "If you don't know her, you can forget about this bag of silver!"

Hearing the man's words, Zhao Xiaoxue bit her lips.

"Who …" Who says I don't know him! "

Although Zhao Xiaoxue denied it, looking at her awkward expression made people suspect that perhaps Miss Xiaoxue really didn't know her.

The guards around the Southern King were especially aware of the temper of their young master. The young master wouldn't say something like this for no reason, and he probably had a reason for doing so. Thinking of this, the surrounding people instantly became nervous, looking at the sign that Zhao Xiaoxue was flipping through and over.

To them, the words on the plaque were simple. However, under the pressure of the Young Master's powerful aura, they didn't dare open their mouths to speak.

"Speak, everyone is hungry. Don't you want to eat?"

Chu Yufeng began to urge him. Although he had guessed that women could not read, he still wanted to test it out on the spot.

"Soon, I will be able to answer that question!"

As she flipped the sign over, Zhao Xiaoxue began to carefully study it. The mention of the 'Hall of Justice' by the other three people just now showed that the sign clearly represented the 'Hall of Justice'. Perhaps, it was one of them.

"The word 'righteousness'!"

Zhao Xiaoxue finally made up her mind to guess one word.

"Is that so? "Do you think that's right?"

Hearing the woman's reply, the man lightly asked. The condescending smile on his face made Zhao Xiaoxue feel defeated. Forget it, she really didn't recognize the words on the sign. There was a chance that so many words under the heavens could be engraved on the sign, so how could she guess?

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaoxue threw the money bag and the plate into the big bag, then said with a face full of displeasure,

"Forget it, you are just teasing me. It's fine if you don't want to borrow money!" I'm hungry, I want to eat! "

Throwing away the purse, Zhao Xiaoxue had an unhappy look on her face as she urged the shopkeeper on the side:

"Can you serve the dishes faster? My stomach is going to flat from hunger!"

Hearing the girl's urging, the shopkeeper immediately nodded and bowed:

"Alright, alright, the dishes will be served immediately!"

Facing such an important guest, the shopkeeper didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest. Didn't he see that even those from the Hall of Justice admitted defeat? Naturally, their restaurant had to be treated even better.

"Alright, since you don't want to borrow money, I won't force you. But what I said just now is still valid. If you think it through, you can try again!"

Chu Yufeng finished his words and walked straight to box three without waiting for a response from the woman.

"I don't want to borrow money? It's clear that you are unwilling to lend me money and want me to read it properly! "

This kind of behavior was somewhat childish. Was this man trying to prove that she couldn't read? So what if she couldn't? Does this have anything to do with borrowing money? The more she thought about it, the more confused she became.

"But young lady, you were right earlier. Why did you throw away the purse?"

On the side, Luo Ze, who was starting to pack up his purse, was puzzled. Young Master is a weirdo, and now even Miss Xiao Xue is so weird, he really doesn't understand the two of them.

"What did you say?" Did I get it right? "

Zhao Xiaoxue couldn't believe it.

"Yeah, there's a 'righteousness' on this sign! "Miss Xiao Xue, you …"

Luo Ze hadn't noticed it before, but now that he heard Miss Xiaoxue's question, a burst of surprise appeared on his face. Could it be that Miss Xiaoxue didn't even recognize the word 'righteousness' on the plate?

"I actually guessed it right!"

Zhao Xiaoxue didn't care what kind of expression Luo Ze had on his face right now. Thinking about how she got it right, she felt a sense of pride in her heart. It was just that the man's expression had lied to her, making her misunderstand.

"I got it right, give me the money bag!"

Zhao Xiaoxue asked Luo Ze for the purse. Unfortunately, Luo Ze didn't dare open it without permission.

"Young lady, you should go find young master!"

"You …"

Zhao Xiaoxue hesitated, she knew it was useless trying to make things difficult for Luo Ze. In the end, it was that man who had the final say. Recalling his misguided expression just now, Zhao Xiaoxue felt a burst of anger in her heart and quickly walked into the box.

"Chu Yufeng, I was right earlier. Why did you mislead me? Give me the purse!"

As soon as Zhao Xiaoxue entered the room, she started to interrogate him. However, facing the questioning of the woman, the man's expression was very indifferent. He stretched out a finger and waved it in front of the woman's eyes, then he placed it on the round table and began to write seriously.

Although he was only writing with his fingers, he could tell that the man's calligraphy skills were not bad, but right now, Zhao Xiaoxue had no time to care about the man's calligraphy skills. She carefully looked at the drawing of his fingers, not understanding what the man was doing.

Finally, the man withdrew his finger and the words on the table appeared before his eyes.

"What are you doing?"

Zhao Xiaoxue asked while reading.

"I've already said that I'll give you another chance. Grasp this chance and you'll get it right. Not only that small bag of silver, you can also take that big bag of silver!"

For Chu Yufeng, he was not short on money. On the contrary, he was very rich. The money was meant to avenge the three men for provoking the woman in front of him, so he gave it all to her.

"What word is that?" You should have also noticed earlier that I am unable to read, which is why you deliberately took me on, right? "

This man was purposely making things difficult for her. She was currently illiterate, so how could she recognize the character that was about to disappear?

"Don't you recognize this character? Don't you think it's familiar?"

"Familiar?" Hearing your words, it seems that I have indeed seen it somewhere before! "

Zhao Xiaoxue wasn't sure what kind of calligraphy was this, but it was true that this picture was somewhat familiar to her, but she couldn't immediately recall it.

"I'll give you a meal. If you think of it, you can come up with an answer at any time!"

The more Zhao Xiaoxue thought about it, the more she felt that this character was very familiar. She had indeed seen it before, but where exactly was it?

Even when the table was filled with food and wine, Zhao Xiaoxue still couldn't come up with an answer. She was originally very hungry, but she was actually a bit ignorant because the end of the meal meant that her chance had been lost just like that.

"What is it? Are you full? "

Chu Yufeng asked softly when he saw the woman no longer mention the chopsticks.

"No!" "No!"

Zhao Xiaoxue did not dare to say that she had eaten her fill. Just now, a flash of inspiration reminded her of a memory fragment. She placed her finger on the table and imitated the man's movements. The more she wrote, the more she felt that this character was familiar.

"Right!"

Zhao Xiaoxue slapped her forehead. She finally remembered where she had seen this character before. It was actually on the sickly Yangzi Palace that she married, and this character was the plaque on the Prince's Mansion …

"You …"
