Chapter 64
As soon as Wang Youxian talked, he talked endlessly.

He only cares about how powerful he is, but he really didn't say a single point that should be said.

Zhou Shu had no choice but to remind him, "General Wang, now that there are all witnesses and evidence, has Sun Yao been arrested?"

Hearing this, Wang Youxian nodded heavily, "Of course."

Great.

Zhou Shu's eyes lit up.

Now that the relief supplies have been found, and there are all the witnesses and evidences, Sun Yao can't deny it. As long as he can induce him, he can recruit the people behind the scenes.

Can't wait, Zhou Shu was about to go to the prison, but Wang Youxian grabbed his wrist.

"Master Zhou, Young Master please go there. Don't worry, Sun Yao is now locked in a prison and cannot escape. You should follow this general to find Young Master first."

After finishing speaking, regardless of Zhou Shu's objection, he dragged her to Wen Yu's courtyard.

Wang Youxian is a rough man, he doesn't know how to deal with women, let alone Zhou Shu, a weak adult.

He disliked Zhou Shu for walking slowly, so he bent down, carried her on his shoulders, and walked quickly towards Wen Yu's courtyard.

Along the way, the maids and guards passing by all looked sideways.

Zhou Shu was so ashamed that he wished he could find a crack in the ground to get in.

But the culprit didn't know it at all, and just walked into the yard, he started to mutter loudly.

"Young Lord, this general will help you carry Mr. Zhou over."

The barbarian!

The moment he finished speaking, Zhou Shu's face turned red to the base of his neck, and he hurriedly tried to cover his mouth, but he was still a step too late.

Wen Yuting pushed open the door and walked out.

Seeing Zhou Shu being held on Wang Youxian's shoulders, a little smile filled his eyes.

Seeing her blushing face, the smile in her eyes deepened.

But in an instant, it became cold again.

Seeing Wen Yuting come out, Wang Youxian put Zhou Shu down rudely.

He patted the dust on his body, "Young Master, this general has completed the task you gave me, so let's go ahead."

After finishing speaking, he clasped his fists in both hands, saluted Wen Yuting, turned around and left.

The speed was so fast that Zhou Shu had no time to react.

She blushed and stood at the same spot at a loss, seeing Wen Yuting's smile turned into a black face, and after a while, he returned to his usual unrestrained appearance.

For a moment I didn't know how to react.

"Can Mr. Zhou have breakfast?"

"Ah?" His sudden question made Zhou Shu even more confused.

Just now she was still taking a bath, but because of Wang Youxian's sudden appearance, he wanted to force her into her bedroom, so she had to rush out after getting dressed.

He was carried all the way to his yard by Wang Youxian. He thought it was some important matter to discuss, but his first sentence was to ask himself if he could have breakfast?

Zhou Shu was puzzled, but still shook his head honestly, "Never."

"How about eating some together?" Wen Yuting invited.

Without giving her a chance to refuse, she turned around and went back to the room first, and sat in front of the small table.

Seeing Zhou Shu come in, he raised his eyelids and glanced at her, "Master Zhou, please sit down."

His left hand pointed to the seat opposite him.

The right hand is holding jade chopsticks, with a small chopsticks of fish.

"This is the meal that Ben Hou ordered someone to pack back from Wangyue Tower early in the morning. Since you came to Xiangzhou, Mr. Zhou, you have been running around for the people of Siyi County. You must have never tasted the best restaurant in Xiangzhou City. Let's eat."

Following his words, Zhou Shu's face on the opposite side turned cold a little bit.

Wen Yuting tasted the fish that melted in his mouth, seeing that she didn't move his chopsticks, he smiled.

Putting down the jade chopsticks in her hand, she took another pair of longer silver chopsticks, sandwiched a piece of fish maw, and put it on the plate in front of her.

"Master Zhou, the Marquis personally picked this up, so don't be disrespectful."

The words implied a threat.

Zhou Shu looked at Wen Yuting's flawless handsome face, which looked like a perfect creation from heaven, his eyes darkened for a moment.

After a long time, we compromised.

Pick up the jade chopsticks, hold the piece of fish maw, and put it in your mouth.

She doesn't pay much attention to appetite, as long as she can eat enough, that's enough.

Therefore, unlike Wen Yuting, he couldn't taste good or bad.

For her evaluation, there are only two words: delicious.

It's delicious, but it's also expensive.

After she swallowed the fish, Wen Yuting asked her again with a smile, "Master Zhou, do you know how much money this small piece of fish costs?"

How many taels?

Ordinary people's annual food expenses are only one tael of silver.

Seeing Zhou Shu frowning, Wen Yuting slowly stretched out a finger.

"One or two?"

He shook his head.

"Twelve?"

This time, Zhou Shu could no longer sit and eat with him calmly.

Even the fish that I ate just now, I can't wait to spit it out.

She just eats this plate of fish, and her monthly salary is not enough.

His throat seemed to be stuck out by something, and his stomach was churning.

Seeing that her eyes were red with retching, Wen Yuting kindly pushed a cup of tea in front of her.

"Have some tea."

Zhou Shugang picked it up to drink.

Wen Yuting added unhurriedly, "Just this cup of tea will sell for five taels of silver in Wangyue Tower."

What a sky-high price this is?
Zhou Shu only felt that the teacup in his hand weighed a thousand catties.

She took a few deep breaths and didn't drink in the end.

Trembling, he put down the teacup, and he probably understood Wen Yuting's purpose for coming here.

"Young Lord, the lower officials are dull, please speak up with your words."

Wen Yuting put down the jade chopsticks, picked up the handkerchief at hand and wiped the corners of his mouth.

Danfeng squinted his eyes, staring at her with a half-smile.

For a moment.

Only then said leisurely: "Master Zhou, you are one of the few smart people I have ever met, and you must have guessed the intention of this Marquis."

When dealing with smart people, some things don't need to be so clear.

But today, Zhou Shu was determined to break the casserole and ask the end.

"Young Lord, I don't know, please tell me clearly."

As she spoke, she stood up from the cushion, took a step back, folded her hands, and saluted.

Wen Yuting took a deep look at her, "You really don't know?"

Zhou Shu shook his head, "The lower officials really don't know."

"Okay." Wen Yuting also understood in her heart that she must make it clear to herself today.

Call someone to remove the food.

Wen Yuting glanced at Zhou Shu who was standing respectfully by the side, and said in a serious tone, "Master Zhou, the weather is very good today, you and Benhou should go out for inspection together."

After all, lift your foot and step over the threshold.

Thinking of Zhou Shu's poor health, he deliberately slowed down his pace so that she could keep up with him.

When the two came out of the county government office, Wen Yuting first took her to Moonwatching Tower.

There were joyful songs and laughter in Wangyue Tower, and there was an endless stream of guests at the door.

And in the corner not far from the Moon Tower, there were one or two ragged little beggars, holding a broken bowl, begging to passers-by.

Such a strong contrast caused a raging fire to rise in Zhou Shu's chest.

Apart from the anger, there was indeed a strong sense of powerlessness that swept through his whole body.

Wen Yuting noticed where her gaze was, parted her thin lips, and slowly uttered a word.

"While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone."

"Master Zhou, let's go." He urged.

He passed by the beggar without squinting.

"Wait a minute, young master." Zhou Shu called to stop him.

He took off the wallet from his waist, poured out all the money left in it, poured it into the palm of his hand, and counted it.

Bend down and put it in the beggar's bowl.

"Master Zhou, how many times can you give them alms?"
