"Who is this? Why is he so overbearing? He wants everything. Which playboy in our Yangzhou City has such wealth?"

"Does anyone know who he is? He looks unfamiliar. I've never seen him before. Could he be from somewhere else?"

"Regardless of whether he's from somewhere else, what he did is too much! Everything else is fine, but he's already bought all the food. What are the others buying?"

"Don't the government have regulations? They say you can't hoard goods? Is that what he's doing now?"

"He's only bought everything on this street and hasn't bought anything else elsewhere. It shouldn't have much of an impact on us, right?"

"What if he buys up all the food from other stores? What will we eat?"

"Is he planning to buy up all the food, and then sell it to us at a high price when we have nothing left to eat?"

"This is what the government was talking about before: hoarding goods! They want our hard-earned money!"

"No! We can't let him keep buying, or we'll have no food to eat!"

"Yes! Send someone to the prefect quickly, saying someone is hoarding goods!"

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away!"

……

Xiao Li stood on the street, watching the development of the situation from afar, but did not get involved.

As for the male and female protagonists, he has always advocated that they should never have any contact with each other until they die.

Of course, it would be better if it could be removed directly.

However, the male and female protagonists both have the aura of the protagonist, so it was inconvenient for them to take action before, and even if they did, they might end up in failure.

Now the heroine has been silenced by the hero and sent to a brothel. It seems that her halo as the protagonist has been shattered by her own official partner.

Through the subsequent plot mentioned by Yu Qingshan, we can get another piece of news - the heroine is gone, and the hero's protagonist halo seems to be useless.

Judging from how ruthless Zhou Yucheng was yesterday, the last time Lu Youfu died in the palace fight, he might have condoned it.

Only two or three years had passed since Lu Youfu's death, and Zhou Yucheng had already destroyed an entire huge dynasty.

What would be the outcome if he killed Lu Youfu with his own hands this time?

Yesterday in the teahouse, Xiao Li noticed Zhou Yucheng's murderous intention towards Lu Youfu, but probably in order not to attract other people's attention, he did not take action in the teahouse.

It’s hard to say whether he went to a brothel afterwards.

After all, in the plot, some brothels in the state capital are Zhou Yucheng's bases, specifically for collecting intelligence for him, and will also eliminate some people for him when necessary.

And it is obvious that the heroine is now on the list of people he wants to eliminate, and there is a high probability that she has been killed.

Of course, given the nature of romance novels, there is a high possibility that Zhou Yucheng will keep her and then develop a tragic love relationship with the other party, just like the original plot.

“……” There are so many complaints but nothing to say.

The more Xiao Li thought about it, the more he felt that it would be better to go and see with his own eyes whether Lu Youfu was dead or not.

If he is not dead, I will give him another stab. If he is dead, that would be the best, so that he will not continue to harm others.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a young man in a red round-necked official uniform walked over with a gloomy face. He paused slightly when passing by him, but soon continued to walk towards Zhou Yucheng as if nothing had happened.

Just because others couldn't see clearly didn't mean Xiao Li couldn't see clearly either. He clearly saw the hint of surprise that flashed in the other person's eyes when he saw him, as if he knew him.

Xiao Li raised his eyebrows and thought carefully. This man did not exist in either the plot he knew or in his original body's memory.

So why was the other party surprised?

He calmly took back the foot he had just taken and stood there quietly watching the confrontation over there.

That's right, a confrontation.

Even though Zhou Yucheng had shown his prince's token to the young man, the other party remained indifferent and asked him to stop his behavior with a cold face.

It turns out that this is a good official?

And how to say it? Looking at the other party's righteous appearance, Xiao Li suddenly felt like he was seeing his elder brother.

Wait, brother?

He looked at the young man in surprise and doubt, thinking, could this be such a coincidence?

He himself traveled through the book and the heroine was reborn, that's fine, but is there another time traveler besides him?

Didn't Yu Qingshan say that he was drawn here by chance? Even if his elder brother happened to die, it couldn't be such a coincidence that he also traveled to this world, right?

If that were the case, he would have to reassess the degree of danger in this world. After all...

If the eldest brother can come, it shouldn't be surprising for the second brother to come, right?

While he was thinking, the stalemate lasted for a cup of tea, and Zhou Yucheng compromised first.

The main thing is that compromise is not an option. A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. The governor of a state is a powerful official. Even if he is a prince, he cannot do anything to him.

Not only could he not do anything to him, but he also had to greet him with a smile, lest he report him to his father, in which case he would be the one to bear the consequences.

After Chu Huaiqing left someone to watch him, he turned back the same way and looked at Xiao Li from afar, with some emotions surging in his eyes.

He slowed down his pace, but this time he did not stop when passing by Xiao Li, but left directly.

Seeing this, Xiao Li looked at the other person's back thoughtfully.

It's really hard to convince him that he doesn't know him with that look in his eyes!

Zhou Yucheng on the other end still had a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes were gloomy, staring at Chu Huaiqing's back like a poisonous snake as he left.

I can't do anything to him now, but if it is true as that stupid woman said, that I will become the emperor in the future, the first thing I will chop off will definitely be his head!

Sensing the murderous intent in his eyes, Xiao Li's eyes flashed with darkness. He stared at him for a while, but in the end did nothing.

Lu Youfu was stupid enough that even if she found something wrong after he attacked her, she wouldn't think too much about it, but Zhou Yucheng was different.

This man was able to act like an invisible man when many princes were fighting for the throne. It was impossible that he didn't have any scheming or cunning at all.

Just looking at how he fooled Lu Youfu yesterday, you can tell that this man is no match for Lu Youfu in terms of cunning or viciousness.

Xiao Li doesn't like trouble and prefers to get things done once and for all. Unless he is absolutely sure, he will not easily make enemies, let alone such ruthless enemies who are in high positions.

Before the plot comes, their family still has to live in the capital for two years. It is not a wise move to offend Zhou Yucheng at this time and then be targeted by him.

He withdrew his gaze, turned around and left, recalling the map of Yangzhou City he bought yesterday. He took a different route from the one he came in, and slowly walked towards the brothel.

In the distance, Zhou Yucheng didn't look away until Chu Huaiqing's figure disappeared from his sight.

When he saw Xiao Li's back, he frowned slightly, and an inexplicable displeasure arose in his heart, just like when he was about to order the killing of that stupid woman, a strong feeling of liking suddenly surged in his heart, preventing him from saying it, but he knew very well that he had no liking for that stupid woman at all.

That stupid woman said she had a love affair with him in a past life, so what about this person? Is he her enemy?

When Xiao Li was about to disappear, he waved his hand, and a guard holding a sword walked up behind him. "What do you want, sir?"

"Did the people over there see it?" Zhou Yucheng stared at Xiao Li's back with a cold gaze. "Go find out who it is. It would be best if you could take them to Mudan Tower. If you can get rid of them... you could just kill them directly."

"Yes, son."
