Chapter 106: Expert

The Zheng family's birthday banquet was very successful. Just from the introduction in Gao Youyao's mouth, Lv Fang had seen almost all the famous wealthy merchants and powerful people in Beicheng.

During the banquet, Master Zheng and Magistrate Zheng only showed their faces once before going to other courtyards to entertain guests.

Most of the people in this courtyard were from the younger generation, who were entertained everywhere by Zheng Youqing.

As the banquet was about to end, Zheng Youqing walked to the table where Lv Fang and others were sitting, ignored Lv Fang, and looked straight at Gao Youyao: "Miss Gao, shall we change places to talk?"

"Okay." Gao Youyao agreed and gave Wu Feng a look. Wu Feng nodded slightly and stood up to follow behind her.

Zheng Youqing chuckled: "What? Miss Gao doesn't trust Zheng's character?"

Gao Youyao shook her head: "That's not it, it's just that I'm afraid others will gossip. Master Wu is following me, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

Before Zheng Youqing could answer, Lv Fang smiled and stood up: "I also want to follow along."

Gao Youyao hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

Zheng Youqing smiled very happily. It was better if they all came together; it saved him from having to think of a way to lure this scholar out.

"Please this way."

A few people walked toward the side courtyard of the county government.

The wealthy merchants and powerful people who were drinking at the banquet saw this scene and couldn't help but whisper and discuss.

"It looks like there's a good show to watch."

"It shouldn't be, right? After all, today is Master Zheng's 70th birthday banquet. If something happens at this juncture, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

"Sigh, what's inappropriate about this? You know who Zheng Youqing is."

"I actually sympathize with that silly scholar, being involved in this for no reason. I guess he doesn't even know how he died."

On the other side.

Zheng Youqing brought people to a remote two-story building and said with a smile: "Miss Gao, let's go inside and talk."

Gao Youyao had long expected this, gripped the Image-Recording Talisman in her sleeve, and smiled: "Young Master Zheng, please."

Wu Feng said to Gao Youyao: "If there is anything, you call out, and I will rush in immediately."

Zheng Youqing smiled and didn't care. He walked into the room.

Gao Youyao said in an extremely low voice: "If I succeed later, I will break the cup and bowl. By then, I'll have to trouble Master."

After speaking, she glanced at Lv Fang and frowned: "If I had known, I shouldn't have brought you. Be smart later and don't anger Zheng Youqing."

"Got it, got it."

Lv Fang said indifferently.

He had basically figured out the matter. He specifically wanted to follow along to protect her from harm. As for how to perfectly solve this matter, he was troubled in his heart.

After all, this Zheng family was also an official. Should he solve it with force?

But in this way, it would be unjustifiable, and what about the follow-up?

After Gao Youyao entered the room, Zheng Youqing closed the door, looked her up and down with dishonest eyes, and said: "Miss Gao, tell me why? Where is Zheng inferior to that stupid scholar?"

Gao Youyao kept a certain distance from him and said coldly:

"Young Master Zheng, please respect yourself. Didn't you say before that you knew who poisoned my father? I want to know who poisoned my father."

Zheng Youqing laughed and wasn't in a hurry. He sat leisurely at the table and poured a cup of wine: "Miss Gao, you didn't eat your fill just now, did you? I specifically had people prepare a table of wine and dishes. Let's eat while we talk."

Gao Youyao said firmly: "If you don't know, then I'm leaving."

Zheng Youqing immediately stood up and blocked the door, his smile turning into a ferocious grin: "Stinking bitch! I gave you face, and you don't want it, right? Today, you have to drink even if you don't want to! Don't force me to pour it down your throat."

Gao Youyao retreated two steps in panic and said: "What do you want to do? Could it be that everything is your conspiracy? You poisoned my father and want to seize my Gao family's business."

Zheng Youqing nodded and admitted it, saying arrogantly: "I had someone poison your father. Who told that old thing not to agree to my Zheng family's marriage proposal?"

"If you are sensible, don't force me to do some cruel things."

"Otherwise, do you believe I will exterminate your Gao family?"

Gao Youyao said angrily: "It really is you. You do such a shameless thing; aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Zheng Youqing grinned, "Retribution? I tell you, I've eaten your Gao family. Don't think I don't know that you used an Image-Recording Talisman to try to trick me into talking, so what?"

Crack!

Gao Youyao picked up the wine glass on the table and smashed it hard on the ground. Her goal had already been achieved, and now all she had to do was leave here.

Zheng Youqing calmly raised his wine glass and drank it all, saying: "You smash it hard. I want to see if the martial artist you brought can still come in, hahaha..."

Bang! The door was kicked open with force.

Wu Feng frowned at Gao Youyao and said: "Are you okay?"

Gao Youyao shook her head, "Master, I'm fine, let's go."

Lv Fang, who followed in, glanced at Zheng Youqing, whose smile had stiffened, and smiled: "Yo, Zheng, what's wrong with you? You're laughing uglier than crying."

"You!" Zheng Youqing was furious. Seeing that Gao Youyao and the three had all left, and still hadn't seen Supplying Ruan take action to stop them, he said in a panic:

"Supplying Ruan, what's the situation?"

A middle-aged scholar walked out from the shadows. His face was very long, like a donkey's face, with a goat beard on his chin, and he spoke very sharply: "Young Master Zheng, there is a reason why I didn't take action."

Zheng Youqing said anxiously: "Didn't we agree that you would take action to subdue that high-rank martial artist? Are you not his opponent?"

Supplying Ruan shook his head and said: "The martial artist you mentioned is a Sixth Rank, First Stage, and I am a Sixth Rank, Second Stage scholar. Naturally, I can beat him, and I am confident that I can subdue him in ten moves."

Zheng Youqing asked in confusion: "Then why didn't you take action?"

Supplying Ruan sighed and said: "Just now, when I was about to approach and sneak attack, I suddenly felt thousands of pounds of pressure on my body, and I was frozen there, unable to move. There is an expert protecting them in the dark."

Hearing this, Zheng Youqing's face turned pale.

An expert more powerful than Supplying Ruan? He didn't even show his face and could deter Supplying Ruan from even daring to move. One could imagine that the expert in the dark must be very strong.

Gao Youyao hired an expert?

It's over!

Zheng Youqing thought of his unbridled words just now. If Gao Youyao really took the Image-Recording Talisman to sue their Zheng family, then everything would be over.

Supplying Ruan saw Zheng Youqing's psychological activity and said solemnly: "At this time, we can only tell the old man everything that happened just now. You and I alone cannot solve it."

"Grandfather will definitely scold me."

Zheng Youqing panicked. He never expected that a small Gao family would have the ability to hire an expert to protect them. ===== CHAPTER 107 =====
