After the little maid said this, she turned around and left.
Deng Tong and the other officials glanced at each other, thinking, "It can't be such a coincidence, right?" Before Zhou Ming went in to choose a patron, the oiran girl had not chosen a favored patron for such a long time. After Zhou Ming went in to choose a patron, the oiran girl had her favorite person. This lucky person could not be Zhou Ming. Bar?
Xia Dezhang also thought so, but he quickly overturned this idea and said to everyone with confidence: "I know what you are all thinking, but I can tell you that that is impossible. Just that Mr. Zhou won’t be able to get the favor fee, so don’t worry about it in vain.”
Deng Tong and all the officials suddenly realized, yes, how could we have forgotten this problem? If Yi Ming was really selected as a benefactor by the oiran girl inside, he would not be able to get the money and would be spent. Wouldn't it be more embarrassing if the boss of the building was kicked out?
On the one hand, everyone sympathized with Zhou Ming, but they also hoped to wait and see Zhou Ming make a fool of himself.
One of the young yamen servants couldn't help but be curious, ran up to stop the little maid who was about to leave, and asked respectfully: "Girl, may I ask who the lucky guy chosen by the oiran girl is? Can you tell us the name? Also let me know. We are delighted.”
When Deng Tong and others heard this question, they also pricked up their ears and waited for the answer.
The little maid had something to do, so she was a little impatient when she was stopped and asked questions by these people. However, seeing that these people were all dressed as official officials, she thought that they were all eating from the official family. , couldn’t afford to offend them, so they could only answer their questions patiently.
"I don't know the name of the selected guest officer, but it's his first time here, and according to himself, he was brought here by his colleagues and brothers - oh, by the way, I think Get up, he said his surname is Zhou."
After hearing what the little maid said, Deng Tong and the others felt like a thunder exploded in their heads. Everyone stood on the spot, dumbfounded.
Everyone is thinking, who is this boy Zhou Ming? In terms of martial arts prowess, this kid ranks first in the inspection yamen in the south of the city. No one can beat him. In terms of appearance, they are inferior to them. But in a place like Huamanlou, money matters. Even if you look like Pan An, You are a talented person, but even if you don't have money, it's hard for an oiran girl to buy you off.
After figuring this out, Xia Dezhang rushed to the little maid and asked anxiously: "Girl, are you right?"
The little maid thought about it carefully and nodded seriously: "It's absolutely true. It is said that this person named Zhou is also a head catcher."
Another thunder exploded on the heads of Deng Tong and the others, and the successive shocks made these people open their mouths wide and unable to close them.
After the last chance of luck was shattered, everyone had to admire in their hearts. This boy Yi Ming was absolutely extraordinary. He dared to go to the Oiran's head shop with thirty taels of silver to spend money. This kind of courage was not something ordinary people could have, and he also had This piece of shit luck, if you can get selected if you go, who can you argue with?
Everyone imagined Zhou Yiming in the oiran girl's bedroom, drinking some wine and lying drunk on the beauty's lap. Then they thought about the quality of the girls waiting for them upstairs. Jealousy suddenly changed their appearance beyond recognition, and even the romantic and unrestrained hearts were cold. Half done.
They originally gathered in front of the flower hall, hoping to wait for Zhou Ming to come out and watch his jokes after he lost the election. However, the joke did not come true. Instead, they witnessed a miracle. In the end, the clown turned out to be themselves.
It is simply an impossible legend that a mediocre head catcher defeated those high-ranking officials and wealthy princes in front of an oiran girl.
Everyone sighed and looked listless, like eggplants beaten by frost.
Xia Dezhang weakly greeted everyone: "Don't stay here. Everyone, please go upstairs and rest. Everyone should be aware of Brother Zhou's physical strength. If he does things, he probably won't be able to finish it all night."
Everyone showed no interest and walked upstairs with drooping heads.
When the little maid saw this, she was afraid that these people would come to ask questions again, so she hurried away quickly.
Deng Tong was walking upstairs slowly, but suddenly an idea came to his mind and he remembered an important question. Yi Ming only brought thirty carts of silver to spend. Even if he was lucky, he couldn't get that money. The guest fee of three thousand taels, this problem is fatal.
But judging from the reaction of the little maid just now, it seems that Zhou Ming has solved this problem perfectly. If this is the case, then things will be complicated.
Zhou Yiming might have deceived them before coming to Huamanlou. He actually had a lot of silver with him, but he just didn't tell the truth to them. The more than thirty taels of silver were just a prop to deceive them.
As for the origin of the huge sum of money carried by Zhou Yiming, it is very suspicious. There was such an extra sum of money for no reason. It can be determined without analysis that Zhou Ming definitely did not distribute the reward money to the families of the brothers who were killed, but withheld it himself. , even if he didn't keep all of them, this kid must have kept a large part of them.
Thinking of this, Deng Tong was furious. He had been in the officialdom for so many years and thought he was a cunning and sophisticated person. But he didn't expect that he would be tricked by a young man like Zhou Ming, and he didn't do anything at all. Without realizing it, even before just now, he had always thought that Yi Ming was a man with a sense of justice and an aboveboard person.
Deng Tong laughed self-deprecatingly and did not tell anyone else what he thought. Instead, he turned around and chased the little maid.
He needs an answer. If the little maid says that Zhou Ming easily took out a huge sum of money, then he can be sure that his idea just now is correct. When the time comes, he will never let Zhou Ming off easily. Although his strength cannot Comparable to Zhou Ming, but if Zhou Ming bullies others and doesn't plan to share the money with everyone, he will definitely find a way to escalate the matter. If the matter becomes big, Zhou Ming will not be able to live with it.
The little maid had already walked far away. She thought she was away from Deng Tong and his group, and she felt a lot more relaxed. She was just about to say hello to the sisters beside her when she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind.
"Girl, stay."
The little maid looked back and saw that it was the leader of the group just now. She felt depressed all of a sudden and thought to herself, why are these people still lingering? The oiran girl asked me to do something, but you kept asking me endless questions and delayed what the oiran girl told me. I will be punished.
Seeing Deng Tong chasing the little maid in a panic, Xia Dezhang and everyone else knew that something was not simple and something must have gone wrong. They didn't have time to ask more questions, so they followed him directly and stood behind Deng Tong, wanting to see what he was going to do. what.
Deng Tong bowed to the little maid and asked in a gentle tone: "Girl, there is something I still don't understand, and I would like to ask for advice."
The little maid frowned and said impatiently: "If you have anything to ask, can you ask me all at once? I still have things to do that the girl has told me to do. It will be difficult for me to handle it if you keep holding me back like this."
Deng Tong and the others quickly apologized: "Girl, I'm really sorry. I only have one question now and I won't ask any more.
I want to know, how much did the selected patron pay? Did you take out cash or banknotes? "
When Xia Dezhang and other officials heard Deng Tong's question, they all suddenly realized that they had just ignored an important issue. Yi Ming didn't have that much money to pay the guest fee. How did he solve this problem without being beaten? ?
Xia Dezhang's mind was very bright. If he thought about it this way, he suddenly understood why Deng Tong was so excited all of a sudden. If Yi Ming could really come up with this huge sum of money, it meant that he didn't use that huge amount of money at all when he gave the money in the afternoon. Instead of sending the money to the families of the dead brothers, they took it all back home.
Isn't this kid too poisonous? He actually deceived me, and it was our hard-earned money.
Xia Dezhang originally respected Yi Ming very much after what he had done before, but when he thought that he might embezzle his share of the bounty, he felt so angry that he wanted to find Yi Ming immediately and cut him into pieces. Duan, it is difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart.
But when he thought of Yi Ming's martial arts prowess, he immediately suppressed this terrible thought. He felt that he was too impulsive. For this purpose, as long as he got back the part of the bounty that Yi Ming had hacked into him, he would be satisfied. , and he didn’t dare to force anything else.
Although the government officials did not know these inside stories, they were also very concerned about how Yi Ming solved the problem of guest fees. If he could afford so much money, then he would definitely let Yi Ming treat him if he spent all the money he spent today. .
After hearing Deng Tong's question, the little maid did not answer immediately. Instead, she looked like she was waiting and asked Deng Tong to continue.
Seeing that Deng Tong had no intention of speaking again, the little maid asked angrily: "Is this the only question? Is there anything else?"
Deng Tong nodded solemnly.
"Humph!" the little maid snorted coldly and said with a smile, "I thought you were going to ask such an important question, is this it? Let me tell you, the benefactor named Zhou didn't even pay a tael of silver. My oiran Girl, she didn’t even ask for a favor fee from him.
I didn’t even pay, let alone get a check or cash. "
"What's that about?" All the government officials exclaimed in unison.
Zhou Yiming's position in their hearts was suddenly like a god.
It was already an impossible task for Zhou Yiming to stand out among so many dignitaries and win the heart of the oiran girl. But now the result is good. Not only did he do it easily, he also did it without spending a penny. Bai Nasha, this is simply an unprecedented legend in Huamanlou.
Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang looked at each other. The two of them were dumbfounded on the spot. They both understood at once that their speculations about Zhou Ming just now were all insults to Zhou Ming. Not only did this kid do things above board, he could also be the host at critical moments. Zhengyi stepped forward, and the best part was that he could kill everyone in Huamanlou.
