Because the store was going to open the day after tomorrow, Zhao Ce hurried home and did some homework.

I went to Zhao Youcai's home to discuss with him the opening day.

It took until late at night to finish the day's work.

The next day, Zhao Youcai went out with him.

The smile on Zhao Youcai's face never stopped all the way.

Zhao Ce took him to the store and asked him and Zhao Wensheng to prepare for the opening tomorrow.

Wait until Zhao Ce is out of school, and then go to the county government office with him to lead the way.

After Zhao Ce finished explaining, he walked quickly to the school.

What's strange today is that Wu Xueli's loud shouting was not heard in the classroom.

After Zhao Ce walked in, he found that Wu Xueli had not come yet.

Seeing that the time for class was approaching, everyone was a little anxious.

"Why hasn't Wu Xueli come yet? Could it be that he was so happy in the brothel last night that he lost track of time?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Even if he doesn't want to come, Member Wu will not let him not come."

"Hiss~ He shouldn't have stayed in a brothel last night, right?"

After the man finished speaking, a group of people suddenly became envious.

Most of the people in this classroom were considered older men in ancient times.

However, because of my studies, I have not yet gotten married.

Therefore, I was extremely envious of Wu Xueli who was able to stay in a brothel overnight.

While everyone was discussing, the person watching by the window whispered: "The Master is here."

Everyone quickly sat back down.

After Li Xiucai arrived in the classroom, he frowned when he saw Wu Xueli's empty seat.

"Wu Xueli didn't come?"

Everyone looked at each other, then lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

Li Xiucai murmured: "There is no messenger at home. Is there anything going on?"

He called his bookboy and said, "Go to Yuan Wu's house and ask Wu Xueli why he didn't come to school today."

The book boy got the order and left.

When Li Xiucai saw this, he stopped talking and started teaching directly.

"Today I will pick a few sentences from "The Analects" for everyone, and then everyone will answer at least one question for me."

"Open......"

Just as he was talking, a panting man dressed as a boy suddenly ran outside.

The man shouted: "Li Xiucai, it's not good!"

Li Xiucai directly closed his book, threw it on the table, and walked out.

"What's up?"

The boy was sweating profusely as he ran and said anxiously: "Master Xiucai, something happened!"

"My young master is Wu Xueli. He was detained by the brothel people and they asked him to pay compensation for calligraphy and painting before letting him go."

"My master has gone over with the money to redeem the man."

"The master said that if something goes wrong here, he will personally bring the young master to the door and let the master punish him."

After hearing this, Li Xiucai frowned and asked: "How much compensation do you want? As for asking Yuan Wu to go out and redeem the person?"

The young boy said with a sad face: "The brothel said they wanted five thousand taels! They won't let me go for less than a penny!"

After hearing this, the students in the classroom immediately exploded.

"Compensation of five thousand taels?"

"After Wu Yuanwai redeemed the person, he was not allowed to break Wu Xueli's legs?"

"Could it be that Wang Youjun's calligraphy that I had yesterday? Why is this Wu Xueli so careless?"

Five thousand taels is definitely not a small amount for the wealthy people in their city.

Even if Wu Yuanwai could get it out, his family would probably be wiped out.

Li Xiucai thought for a while and said, "You lead the way. As a gentleman, I should go and have a look."

When the boy heard this, his face showed a little joy.

Li Xiucai is a scholar in the city, if he is willing to stand up for his young master.

Maybe this matter needs to be discussed!

He quickly said: "Thank you Master, I will take you there right now."

Li Xiucai was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something.

"Zhao Ce, Qiu Shubai, you come with me."

Zhao Ce and Qiu Shubai stood up without saying anything.

Followed behind Li Xiucai.

Generally speaking, it is not appropriate for a master to come forward when something like this happens in a brothel.

After all, it wouldn't be nice to talk about these things.

As for what happened to Zhao Ce in the brothel, Liu Xiucai completely ignored it.

Anyway, if your reputation is bad, you can just kick people out.

But after Li Xiucai heard this, he said that as a master, he wanted to go and have a look.

How could this young man be unhappy when he heard this?

He immediately led the way and walked quickly to the brothel.

Li Xiucai said from the front: "I am taking you there to show you what Wu Xueli is doing today."

"If you feel that this matter has affected you, then I will allow you to consider the issue of mutual protection for children."

"You don't have to go in later, just watch from a distance."

Qiu Shubai was relatively familiar with Wu Xueli, so he quickly said: "Master's words are serious, this matter is not a big deal, as long as compensation is paid."

"It should have little impact."

Zhao Ce also said: "Let's see the situation clearly before we speak."

Li Xiucai didn't say anything else, and the three of them followed the young man and headed towards the brothel.

The sun has just risen now, and there are almost no people on the street where the brothel is.

When several people walked nearby, they saw Wu Yuanwai and others standing at the door.

Zhao Ce took a look and found that Wu Yuanwai's face was not as pleasant as Wu Xueli's.

On the contrary, the eye sockets are a bit deep, and the whole person looks a bit fierce.

When Wu Yuanwai saw Li Xiucai coming, he was surprised and said: "Master, why are you here?"

Li Xiucai said: "Let me see the situation. Where is Wu Xueli?"

Wu Yuanwai's brows were so furrowed that he could pick up a fly.

"After I received the letter, I came here with the money. I just arrived now and no one has come out yet."

"The people in this brothel are the same. They only let me wait outside and wouldn't let me in."

After saying that, he glared at the boy next to him.

"I asked you to tell Master about this, why did you bring Master directly?"

"Can Master get involved in this kind of thing?"

The young man shivered when he stared at him and was speechless.

Li Xiucai waved his hand and said, "I asked him to bring me here. Let's call Wu Xueli out first and ask him what happened."

"This man has been in there for so long. If there is any dispute, he will not be easy to deal with alone."

Wu Yuanwai raised his eyebrows and said, "If anything happens, it's his fault!"

"How many times have I told him not to come to these places? He always comes secretly behind my back!"

Li Xiucai stopped him and asked him to quickly ask what was going on.

Zhao Ce also raised his head and glanced at the brothel.

This place is quite "familiar" to him.

There are three big characters "Zuixianglou" on the plaque, and the railing on the second floor is full of women soliciting customers at night.

It's so empty right now,

Looking into the hall, there are layers of gauze curtains inside, and there is still a faint smell of powder.

After just one glance, Zhao Ce looked away.

Qiu Shubai secretly looked at it for a long time with some curiosity.

After a while.
