(T/L NOTE: Everyone thank the buyers of {330+} chapters, that you got to read these bonus chapters!)

“Is this what you call erudite and well-behaved?” When Emperor Jingwen heard the prefect’s compliments just now, he was very happy, thinking that his son had made progress.

It turns out that they were all deliberately exaggerated.

“…Your Majesty, please forgive me!” Zhao Jinchuan had never expected that his virtuous brother would make such a big mistake at such a critical moment. He couldn’t help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.

“Apart from some minor flaws, he’s a pretty good person…”

Emperor Jingwen did not comment.

Zhao Jinchuan felt a sudden increase in pressure, so he looked at the yamen runner beside him and said, “The noble is here, why don’t you go and call him again!”

“Just say it’s the prefect’s order, go now!”

Zhao Jinchuan was so angry at this yamen runner that he almost died. How could this be a normal situation? If he didn’t come back, he would be tied back even if he had to be tied up!

Zhao Jinchuan winked at the yamen runner, indicating that he should bring more people this time.

The yamen runner was about to take action when he heard Emperor Jingwen say, “Wait.”

Then Emperor Jingwen came down from his seat at the head of the table and said, “I will go with you.”

Four, Five, Seven, and Eight princes were shocked when they heard this. They also wanted to see what Xiao Jiu looked like now.

The fifth prince laughed the most happily.

“This…” Isn’t this bad?

Although Zhao Jinchuan didn’t dare to let the emperor and the prince enter such a smoky and foul place, he didn’t dare to refute it after all.

“Your Majesty, Your Highness, this way please.”

The other side.

Ye Shuo originally thought of leaving after losing the hundred or so taels of silver today, but he didn’t expect that he was so lucky today that up to now, not only has his capital not decreased, but his chips have been increasing. A rough estimate is that the pile of silver in front of him must add up to several thousand taels.

I don’t even know how many waves of people have just gone down.

Ye Shuo did a good job in preventing addiction. These wealthy merchants from Liangzhou City now only regarded Qinglufang as a den of money. It was a place for them to relax and have fun after returning from business trips or completing a big deal. Therefore, they did not bring much silver every time they came here. They did not expect Ye Shuo to come today. If they had known this, they would have brought more silver.

Qinglufang is Ye Shuo’s territory. Out of the principle of keeping things within the family, Ye Shuo comes here to play several times a month. This is one of Qinglufang’s ways of attracting customers. Over time, he naturally became familiar with this group of wealthy businessmen.

It’s quite strange to say that this Ninth Young Master is so young, but he has made such a big plate. The key is that most of them are still alive. Such means are really amazing.

The most important thing is that he is good at gambling and can basically do anything. No wonder he became the boss at such a young age.

Wu Weiyong initially felt sorry for the downfall of his fellow disciple, but as time went by, he actually became a frequent visitor to Qinglufang.

Seeing another person defeated, Wu Weiyong, who was well prepared, immediately took over.

“Junior brother, this is a gambling master specially invited by my senior brother, you’d better be careful.” After losing to Ye Shuo last time, Wu Weiyong felt uncomfortable no matter how he thought about it, tossing and turning, which led to today’s scene.

Ye Shuo was not afraid when he heard this: “Come on!”

Perhaps because Ye Shuo made the loudest noise, many people didn’t even care about playing and rushed over.

When Emperor Jingwen arrived, what he saw was his son sitting in front of the gambling table, rolling up his sleeves, standing on a stool and shouting.

Several princes, including the fourth, fifth, seventh and eighth, were also deeply shocked by this scene.

As princes, when have they ever been to such a dirty place? On the other hand, Xiaojiu is so skilled that he feels more comfortable than at home.

Ye Shuo replaced the poker in his hand with a dice cup and started shaking it almost at the same time as the other party.

The dice cups jingled and clanged, dazzling the onlookers. Seeing his son so excited, Emperor Jingwen’s face turned pale.

With a “dong” sound, the dice cups fell onto the table at the same time.

The bet between the two was simple, just comparing the size. Ye Shuo did not hesitate and was the first to unveil his dice cup.

“The five qi converge to the origin, I accept your approval.”

The moment the dice cup was opened, the five dice with six points on them looked like blooming flowers, making people dizzy.

Ye Shuo looked at the opposite side with a hint of amusement. If he had heard correctly, the opponent should also have five sixes, so this was a draw.

Obviously, the other party did not expect that the owner of Qinglufang was also a master. This time he had met his match.

It seems that some special means are needed.

Seeing that the two men wanted to start the next round after failing to win the first round, Emperor Jingwen could no longer sit still.

Zhao Jinchuan took a deep breath and hurried forward: “Gu Shao!”

Ye Shuo turned his head subconsciously, and then his eyes widened.

Why do those figures look so familiar? I’m afraid I’m just hallucinating because I rolled the dice too much.

He saw Emperor Jingwen standing there with a dark face, and the Fourth Prince, the Fifth Prince, the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince, the four of them stood there like door gods, especially the Fourth Prince, who was looking at him with disapproval on his face.

Zhao Jinchuan was totally unaware and was still hinting with his eyes: “What are you still standing there for? Come over here quickly. The nobles want… Hmm? Why are you running? Stop right there!”

Without waiting for his adoptive father to speak, Ye Shuo flicked the dice cup in his hand and ran away.

Zhao Jinchuan was so frightened that he almost died.

Emperor Jingwen made a prompt decision: “Come here, capture him!”

Ye Shuo was almost about to push open the window and jump out, but when he was about to succeed, someone grabbed his foot at the last moment.

Turning around, it turned out to be the Fourth Prince.

“Fourth brother, please forgive me for once!”

Seeing the pleading in his brother’s eyes, the Fourth Prince shook his head firmly. The monk can run away but the temple cannot. The sooner he dies, the sooner he will be reborn.

Zhao Jinchuan had not expected that he would be so bold, and hurriedly advised: “Your Majesty, to be honest, this man is my sworn brother whom I just recognized a few days ago. He is not like this on weekdays. Please understand, Your Majesty!”

Zhao Jinchuan is quite loyal and would not just abandon Ye Shuo and run away if nothing goes wrong.

Although he is now ready to sacrifice his own relatives for the sake of justice.

There were many people in Qinglufang, and Zhao Jinchuan lowered his voice deliberately for fear of accidentally exposing Emperor Jingwen’s identity. However, the fifth, seventh, and eighth princes next to him still heard everything clearly.

…Xiaojiu actually recognized a brother randomly outside so easily.

Aren’t there enough brothers in the family?

The five, seven, and eight princes all moved at the same time.

At the side, seeing the chief leader being captured, Ye Shuo, who had hired two martial arts masters at a large price, subconsciously drew the sword at his waist.

Seeing this, Ye Shuo was immediately shocked: “No, no, no, we are on the same side, don’t do anything.”

Ye Shuo had no choice but to come before Emperor Jingwen and kneel down with a plop.

“father.”

The two martial arts masters were stunned. After they reacted, they put away their swords and bowed their heads to admit their mistake: “Old master.”

Emperor Jingwen: “…”

Emperor Jingwen almost choked back the words that were about to come out of his throat.

As for Zhao Jinchuan standing aside, he finally couldn’t keep his calm expression anymore.

If Gu Shao is the prince, then wouldn’t I be…

“Who was the man who just gambled with you? Why did he seem to call you his junior brother?” How many relatives did the little bastard recognize in the outside world?

Upon hearing this, Ye Shuo hurriedly explained, “That man’s name is Wu Weiyong, and he is the teacher’s student.”

Emperor Jingwen suddenly felt pity for Taifu. He was afraid that the Taifu would never have thought that the bad student he taught was actually leading the good students astray.

“You even want to borrow the influence of the Grand Tutor. You are really something.”

Ye Shuo couldn’t help shrinking his head: “The old man, the Grand Tutor, has many students all over the world. It would be a waste if we don’t use him. Isn’t this…”

Seeing so many people looking over here, Emperor Jingwen couldn’t help but take a deep breath and said, “Let’s talk outside.”

Emperor Jingwen did not want to be a monkey for people to see.

Ye Shuo had no choice but to follow. Before leaving, he signalled to the shopkeeper with his eyes to take back the money he won, otherwise it would be gone later.

After walking out of Qinglufang, Ye Shuo lowered his head obediently, ready to listen to the lecture.

Emperor Jingwen also thought that it would be quiet outside, but who knew that it would be even worse outside than inside.

“He’s a great boss.”

“The chief.”

“The group of people from Jiangcheng Sect are causing trouble in our area again. Chief, when do you think we can gather our brothers and fight back?”

In the past, Ye Shuo didn’t think there was anything wrong with these titles, but now that his cheap father and the others were here, Ye Shuo suddenly felt ashamed.

Of course, compared to him, Emperor Jingwen and the Fourth Prince would only be more embarrassed.

Xiaojiu is making a mess outside, what is he doing?

Seeing that the other party was completely unaware and was still urging him, Ye Shuo pulled the corner of his mouth and said, “For the time being… I guess I can’t go?”

The man was stunned: “Ah? Why?”

Ye Shuo pointed at Emperor Jingwen and said, “Well, my father is here.”

That’s indeed not good.

His face became serious and he quickly called out “Hello, old man”, and then several people left quickly.

Emperor Jingwen thought that the matter was about to end there, but who knew that something even more powerful was waiting for him.

When Ye Shuo saw Shopkeeper You and his men coming to inspect the shop downstairs, he instinctively felt something was wrong. However, before he could say anything, Shopkeeper You saw him and immediately came forward to greet him.

“Hey, isn’t this the Ninth Young Master?”

Shopkeeper You is now in his early thirties, still at the age of charm, with a rosy face and extremely beautiful appearance.

However, Emperor Jingwen on the side frowned subconsciously. For some reason, he always felt that there was something wrong with the way the other person looked at his son.

Soon, Emperor Jingwen’s premonition came true.

“Ninth young master, what do you think of what I told you last time?”

Because Ye Shuo had been to the Music Academy several times before, Manager You thought he was new. With such a stunning appearance, it was hard for Manager You not to be attracted.

Although the misunderstanding was later clarified, Manager You still couldn’t stop thinking about him.

Shopkeeper You dares to guarantee that this young man must be better than he imagined. Shopkeeper You does not ask for eternity, but a brief encounter with him would be good enough.

What Manager You was talking about was nothing else but a one-night stand.

Ye Shuo felt numb all over.

In the past, Zhao Jinchuan always teased him about these romantic affairs, but now it was too late to regret.

Emperor Jingwen was almost laughing out of anger: “Have you ever been to that kind of place?”

Hearing this voice, Shopkeeper You finally succeeded in noticing the strangers around Ye Shuo: “They are…”

Ye Shuo hurriedly said: “My father, my fourth brother, fifth brother, seventh brother, and eighth brother.”

Shopkeeper You immediately returned to his serious demeanour and said, “Since your father is here, I won’t bother you for now.”

Even Shopkeeper You felt embarrassed at this moment.

“Tell me, what else are you hiding from me?”

After Manager You left, it was not known whether Emperor Jingwen was furious or not, but he calmed down instead.

Ye Shuo had no choice but to bring his stepfather and the others to Ping’an Restaurant.

The fifth prince didn’t think anything of it at first, but when he went up to the second floor and saw the prices of the vegetables above, he couldn’t help but let out a strange cry.

“You’re asking forty taels for one fish, are you running a shady business?!”

Ye Shuo: “…”

Sorry, he runs a black shop.

And now the way Emperor Jingwen looks at him is no different from the way he looks at the cancer of society.
