Tao Zhi followed Boss You out of the backyard, went straight up to the third floor from a secret staircase, and came to the door of a private room. He saw two extremely strong guards standing on the left and right of the door. It was Lian Jiazi who was very skilled, with a stern face, looking at the two of them coldly.

Tao Zhi felt extremely uncomfortable being looked at by their cold eyes. Just as he was about to ask Boss You who was walking in front what was going on, Boss You opened his arms openly, and one of the guards stepped forward to treat him nicely. The body search was extremely detailed, and it seemed that he was really worried that Boss You might be hiding some murder weapon.

Tao Zhi looked at it from behind, confused for a while, isn't Boss You one of their own, and he will be searched even if he enters?

After a long search, the guard finally nodded to Boss You, which meant he could go in.

But Boss You turned to one side, smiled and said to Tao Zhi who was confused behind him: "There is a noble person inside, Boss Tao, please don't make things difficult for these two brothers, let's cooperate."

The current Tao Zhi has nothing to say no to, although he is unwilling, he still takes a step forward and lets the guards grope about him for a while.

It was not until Boss You and Tao Zhi had confirmed that there was no murder weapon hidden on their bodies that another guard opened the door of the private room. Boss You nodded his thanks to the guard, and then called Tao Zhi behind him to go in with him.

Tao Zhi was extremely anxious at this moment, he didn't know who it was, why he wanted to see him, and he didn't know if a disagreement would be bad for him.

But he only hesitated for a moment, thinking that the life of his precious son was still in the hands of the other party, so he could only grit his teeth, and followed Boss You into the private room.

As soon as he entered the door, Tao Zhi smelled a faint strange fragrance. He subconsciously sniffed his nose, and when he recognized the smell, he felt a sudden shock in his heart.

He likes to enjoy by nature, and has always been interested in rare and luxurious things. He knows that this is a kind of sandalwood from Nanyang, which is a tribute to the court. , I heard that it was rewarded by the emperor because of the other party's great achievements.

But now that the other party is able to take such a rare and precious sandalwood outside to set off, the identity must be not simple.

Tao Zhi couldn't help but secretly raised his eyes to look into the depths of the private room, but saw a huge screen dividing the private room into two, he could only vaguely see a vague figure behind the screen through the screen, But it's not real at all.

And several guards who were also extremely strong stood outside the screen, watching them vigilantly, not allowing them to approach the screen half a step.

While Tao Zhi was still secretly speculating about the other party's identity, Boss You knelt down through the screen, and respectfully saluted the people inside: "The villain, You Lie, see His Royal Highness King Wei."

Wei... King Wei...

Tao Zhi was stunned for a moment, he never expected that the person behind the screen was actually a prince, but when he thought of the sandalwood burning in the private room, he almost completely believed in his heart that the person inside was the genuine Fifth Prince, Wei Wang Xiao Mao .

It's just that he really couldn't understand why an imposing prince would meet him in a gambling house, let alone why he would take such pains to set up a big picture to lure his son into the pit.

Seeing that Tao Zhi was still standing there stupidly, Boss You couldn't help turning his head and reminded in a low voice: "Boss Tao, hurry up and greet His Royal Highness King Wei."

Tao Zhi just woke up like a dream, and without thinking about it, he immediately knelt down on the ground, imitating Boss You, and respectfully saluted the people inside through the screen: "Little Tao Zhi, see His Royal Highness King Wei."

After a while, a young yet majestic voice came from behind the screen: "Please stand up, both of you."

Hearing this voice, although Tao Zhi still had no chance to see the other party's real face, he was sure that the other party was the genuine Wei Wang Xiao Mao, and only the royal family could have such aura and power at a young age.

Thinking of this, he didn't care about being rude, and immediately cried loudly: "His Royal Highness Wei Wang, please see that the villain has only one child under his knees, poor and poor villain, let Boss You let the kid go."

"Boss Tao, don't be so rude in front of His Highness." Boss You couldn't help scolding Tao Zhi in a low voice, reminding him not to be rude.

However, Xiao Mao's tone didn't sound like he was angry, he just smiled lightly: "I don't like to beat around the bush when I speak alone, and You Lie's words mean lonely, as long as you are willing to hand over the plate-making and seal of the banknotes printed by the Tao Family Bank to Gu, Gu will naturally keep your son safe."

Tao Zhi knelt on the ground, feeling very entangled in his heart at this moment.

Silver ticket plate making and seals are the foundation of the Tao family. Of course he can't hand him over to anyone, but now his son's life is in the hands of the other party. There is no way I can get out of this private room alive.

"The villain shouldn't have rejected His Highness, but His Highness didn't know about it. The Tao family's bank business is in charge of his brother Tao Song. Of course, he is also responsible for keeping the plates and seals of the bank notes. The villain doesn't know where my brother is hiding. Therefore...so the villain really can't help His Highness, and I hope His Highness will forgive you." Tao Zhi thought for a while, finally found a suitable explanation, and carefully explained to Xiao Mao.

However, he did not tell the truth. The plate making and seal of the bank note are true in the hands of his elder brother Tao Song, but he knew where Tao Song hid them. However, given the current situation and occasion, it is absolutely impossible for him to say from.

"Hahaha--"

Xiao Mao behind the screen burst into laughter, which made Tao Zhi feel a little baffled, he didn't know why King Wei was laughing, but his heart was more disturbed, and there was always a sense of ominous premonition.

He couldn't help but glanced at Boss You, who was also kneeling aside, but saw him bow his head deeply, as if he had predicted something.

Just when Tao Zhi wanted to say something more, Xiao Mao behind the screen suddenly gave a cruel order:

"You Lie, since Tao Zhi can't remember where the plate-making and seal of the banknote are hidden, you should remove Tao Wang's arm now and help him remember it well. If he still can't remember, then remove another arm. After removing the arms, remove the legs until Tao Zhi remembered..."

"Your Highness, please spare my son." Tao Zhi couldn't bear it any longer, and immediately kowtowed to Xiao Mao, begging bitterly.

"I don't want to say it a third time. I will ask you one last time. Would you like to fetch the plates and seals of the silver notes printed by your Tao Family Bank and give them to Gu." Behind the screen, Xiao Mao remained unmoved, his tone Still cold.

Up to now, Tao Zhi has no choice but to close his eyes in pain, and nod his head helplessly: "The villain is willing."

At this moment, thinking of his father's ruthlessness in his mind, the guilt and guilt in his heart instantly faded a lot.

If it wasn't for his father's reluctance to save him, why would he put his son's life at risk in order to preserve the Tao family?

It was his father and the Tao family who were unkind first, so don't blame him for being unrighteous after Tao Zhi.

Behind the screen, Xiao Mao finally smiled with satisfaction, and then said: "Don't worry, Gu will not treat anyone who works for Gu badly, and Gu also does not want to destroy the Tao family. Gu can assure you that the next Patriarch of the Tao family will It must be you, Tao Zhi!"

Tao Zhi's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and his mind suddenly became active.

If it was said that he had no choice but to agree to Xiao Mao just now, then he was really moved now, and began to want to serve Xiao Mao sincerely.

After all, Xiao Mao was willing to promise to give him what his father and the Tao family didn't want to give him.
