After the villain was defeated, she still had power in the government

On the left, in the Yumei Room, close to the execution ground, it was extremely noisy. If there was any movement next door, even a martial artist would probably not be able to detect it in the first place.

On the right, between the bamboos, not facing the street, with the door closed, it is quite quiet. If there is any unusual noise next door, people who practice martial arts will be able to detect it immediately.

After the analysis, Jixue subconsciously walked towards the bamboo room.

A long-faced waiter was cleaning inside.

Seeing Jixue walk in, he couldn't help but look puzzled.

Isn’t this the guest of Ao Ju Jian?

What are you doing here?

Just when I was wondering, I heard Jixue ask, "Were there any guests here just now?"

"Yes." The long-faced waiter nodded subconsciously without thinking too much, "There are two guests."

After a pause, seeing that Jixue seemed to want to ask more questions, he immediately showed an apologetic expression and said embarrassedly: "My shopkeeper has a rule that the identity of the guests cannot be disclosed. Please don't ask any more questions, sir."

Jixue was startled, then nodded in understanding. She immediately took out a silver ingot from her sleeve pocket and handed it to the waiter, then asked, "Is the guest a man or a woman?"

This... just asking about gender doesn't seem to be revealing the guest's identity?

After realizing this, the waiter took the money with a smile on his face and replied, "Men. Both of them are men."

"What about the Yumei Room?" Jixue asked.

"There are a lot of people!" The waiter answered without thinking, "There are men and women, old and young, and they bring their families to watch the fun."

Hearing this, Jixue nodded slightly.

It seems that the people arranged by Fu Yutang are indeed in Xiuzhu Room.

only……

What are the identities of those two people?

Why did Fu Yutang avoid him from meeting them?

Jixue was puzzled. After she was sure that she could not get any more useful information from the waiter, she turned around and went downstairs.

As soon as I walked downstairs, I heard Xiaofeng's exclamation -

"What? Fu Yutang invited my young master to meet him, and he even asked him to pay for the tea?"

Shameless!

After all, you are an official appointed by the imperial court. Can you please have some shame?

Xiaofeng was so angry that his face turned red. If Xiaoyan hadn't held him tightly, he would have rushed to the shopkeeper and grabbed him by the collar to demand an explanation.

Yue Jingming looked helpless, since that was what Lord Fu had ordered anyway.

Seeing Jixue coming back, Yue Jingming's eyes lit up instantly, and he said quickly: "Master Ji, look at this tea money... Lord Fu asked me to ask you for it. If it's convenient for you, can you pay it now?"

Jixue was slightly startled. Fu Yutang invited him here, and at the end he even asked him to pay for the tea? !

"..."

After being speechless for a moment, he thought of Fu Yutang's despicable and shameless character and felt that it was not surprising that he would do such a thing, so he nodded and said, "How much silver?"

As he spoke, he gestured to Xiaoyan to take the silver.

"A total of ten thousand taels." Yue Jingming said with a smile on his face.

Jixue: “……???”

Xiao Feng Xiao Yan: “……!!”

How many? !

Did they hear it correctly?

The master and his two servants were stunned for a long time.

After a long while, Xiao Feng finally swallowed his saliva, but his eyes couldn't help but widen a little, and he asked doubtfully: "How much silver did you say?"

"Ten thousand taels." Yue Jingming smiled and asked, "Master Ji, are you going to pay in cash or in banknotes?"

"You are robbing us!" Before Jixue could speak, Xiaofeng could not help but say, "There is only a pot of tea in the private room, not even any snacks, and you want us to pay 10,000 taels of silver?!"

"That's not the case." Yue Jingming picked up the account book and read it out one by one. At the end, he said innocently, "This ten thousand taels is the money for tea and snacks that Master Fu took away when he left. As for the money for the private room and tea, I have already rounded it off."
