Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

The wine indeed tasted good, a rare vintage.

Coupled with the stuffy and hot room, and the somewhat boring auction, Fang Zheng quietly downed three small jars without a word.

The only entertainment was hearing someone successfully bid, then glancing at the sucker to remember their face for potential after-sales issues.

Hearing someone with the surname Lu successfully bid for a jar, Fang Zheng instinctively turned his head.

Upon seeing it was actually Lu Xiuwen, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

This little scumbag, he really isn't an honest person.

The silly Second Miss is truly blind, but that's their relationship, and constantly interfering would make me seem nosy.

Fang Zheng smiled dismissively and turned back to continue drinking.

At this moment, Chu Youyi had gradually squeezed through the crowd towards Lu Xiuwen, and just as she was about to see him, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed wearing the big beard.

But before she could think too much, another bid was successful, causing a stir in the crowd and pushing her next to Lu Xiuwen.

The two burly men behind Chu Youyi frowned, one of them saying, "She's gone over there, will there be any danger?"

The other replied, "What danger could there be? The master told us to protect her, so just watch. Are you going to interfere if she meets an acquaintance?"

"Oh."

Lu Xiuwen, seeing Chu Youyi arrive by his side, revealed a look of joy and, pointing to a friend beside him, said domineeringly, "You, get up and give her your seat!"

The man had no choice but to reluctantly stand aside, as Lu Xiuwen's family was powerful and he couldn't afford to offend him.

"Youyi, sit!"

Chu Youyi sat next to Lu Xiuwen somewhat awkwardly, her face flushed as she whispered, "Young Master Lu."

Although she said these words, her heart was in a complete mess.

Young Master Lu really came to a brothel? Could it be true, as Fang Tangjing said, that he goes to brothels twenty times a month? Is he really such a lecherous person?

Lu Xiuwen, feeling he had lost face in front of Chu Youyi, quickly asked, "Why did you come to a brothel! It's so dangerous here!"

"I was at the academy... and overheard you talking about some wine demon... I got curious and followed you. Young Master Lu, why are you here too?"

"Yes! Yes! Me too! Curiosity! I came because of curiosity!" Lu Xiuwen echoed repeatedly.

Changing the subject, Lu Xiuwen pointed to the wine jar and said, "Youyi, look, I bought this magical medicine! It can nourish yin and beautify the complexion! Why don't we try it together?"

Chu Youyi looked at the wine jar, licked her lips, and was somewhat tempted, instinctively nodding before quickly shaking her head.

"No! No, thank you! Such a precious thing, I think I'll pass!"

Looking at her glistening lips, Lu Xiuwen's Adam's apple bobbed, and he couldn't help but feel a fire rising in his heart: "Youyi! Are you being a stranger to me? With such a good thing, of course, I'll share it with someone important."

Someone important?

Chu Youyi's face was completely red with shyness, her thoughts somewhat complicated. After struggling for a moment, she nodded delicately.

"I'll go find someone to get two bowls..."

"Alright! Congratulations to the twenty lucky people present, all the Seven Day Great Sage wine jars have been auctioned off! Today's event is now over!" With that, Zhou Tie flipped and jumped off the stage.

Immediately, someone in the crowd shouted loudly, "Where is the Wine Demon Deity? Didn't they say he was coming here today? Why doesn't he come out for a meet and greet?"

"Please let the Wine Demon Deity show his face! We would like to ask the master for some guidance!"

"Meet! Meet! Meet!!"

The shouts of the onlookers became increasingly unified.

Lu Xiuwen looked at Chu Youyi and said, "Youyi, how about after the Wine Demon appears, we find a quiet place in the courtyard to savor this magical medicine?"

Chu Youyi also looked curiously at the stage, agreeing, "Okay, I'll listen to Young Master Lu's arrangements."

Fang Zheng was sipping his fourth jar of wine. The alcohol content wasn't high, but it was quite potent... He was feeling a bit hot and dizzy now.

Xie Xian nervously asked Fang Zheng, "Master, they're all shouting for a meeting, are you going to go out?"

Fang Zheng finished the wine in his cup, squinted his eyes, and thought, "Haven't decided... Forget it! I've already earned the money, why would I go out? I don't do things that don't benefit me. How did I teach you? Make a fortune in silence!"

"Master is right, drink up!"

The three clinked glasses and continued drinking.

The shouts in the room continued in unison, but the three of them were as quiet as the eye of a hurricane, drinking their wine at their own pace.

They weren't in a hurry, but Yu Niang was!

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control! If the Wine Demon didn't appear, these people, after holding it in all night, might tear down the Qunyu Brothel!

Thinking of the terrible consequences, Yu Niang hurriedly twisted her hips and ran to Fang Zheng.

Squatting down and placing her hands on Fang Zheng's knees, she pleaded, "Young Master Fang, please go up and meet them. If this continues, the reputation of the Qunyu Brothel will be ruined... I am your Red Flower Society's first member!"

Red Flower Society?

Yu Niang's mention of this term suddenly awakened Fang Zheng.

Hiss~! I drank too much and forgot about this! There's another wave of money-making opportunities later. If I don't go out today, wouldn't that be harming our allies? I can't do such a dishonorable thing.

Even if I go out, it's nothing. Besides Lu Xiuwen, that little scumbag, no one else knows me!

Thinking of this, looking at the pitiful Yu Niang, Fang Zheng helped her up and said, "Yu Niang, it's just a small matter, why make it so difficult? Stand up and talk."

Yu Niang rose, a trace of gratitude flashing in her eyes: "Young Master is willing to go up."

"Go! Since we are all members of the Red Flower Society, there is no reason not to go. I still need you to help me contact other brothels the day after tomorrow," Fang Zheng waved his hand.

"Young Master, please rest assured, Yu Niang will do her best!"

Fang Zheng smiled slightly, stepped onto the stage, spread his arms, faced the crowd, and swept his head coquettishly.

"This young master is the Wine Demon! Didn't you want to see me! This young master is standing here today. Ask whatever you want, I'll give you one incense stick's worth of time."

The eyes of the crowd focused on Fang Zheng at this moment.

Whispers came from below the stage.

"Oh, so this is the Wine Demon Deity, he's much younger than I imagined."

"Tch! How could an old man have the energy to go to brothels?"

"Doesn't he have the magical medicine?"

"Handsome and dashing, he can be considered a refined young gentleman. I think he deserves the title of Wine Demon Deity!"

.......

Lu Xiuwen and Chu Youyi stared blankly at the familiar figure on the stage.

"Youyi... Isn't that your bookboy, Fang Tangjing?"

Chu Youyi's cherry lips trembled slightly: "I don't know!"

How could it be Fang Tangjing! He was clearly just a caring bookboy? How did he inexplicably become the Wine Demon Deity who stirs up the wind and clouds?

Could it be just a similar appearance? But he looks too much like him, but it's impossible for the voice to be so similar too?

Chu Youyi's mind was already in a mess. Overthinking, coupled with the heat in the room, made her face frighteningly red. Lu Xiuwen, seeing her like this, became anxious!

Why does Chu Youyi have this expression?!

The Wine Demon Deity is Fang Tangjing! This hungry ghost has been lurking by Chu Youyi's side all along? She's inexperienced, has she already been taken advantage of? I haven't even gotten the leftovers?

Enough is enough!!!

Lu Xiuwen, consumed by wild thoughts, erupted in anger, slammed the table, pointed at Fang Zheng and roared: "You're lying!!! You're not the Wine Demon at all!"
