Nightclub.

The Xusheng Restaurant was packed with people, but compared to the day of the Chengfeng parade, there were fewer people. After all, the people lining up in front of the Xusheng Restaurant almost reached the street corner.

"Mu Zhou, I'm afraid you will lose to me this time." Yu Chengfeng waved his fan with a relaxed look on his face.

Mu Zhou sneered: "Yu Chengfeng, don't laugh too early, I'm afraid you will cry ugly."

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door.

"Why aren't we allowed in? We're all here for Mu Zhou!"

"Sorry, the place is full. Only one person can go in after one person comes out." Liu Xihua hurriedly tried to calm the somewhat excited crowd.

Mu Zhou was secretly delighted in his heart. Those five hundred brothers outside were not called that for nothing. But at this moment he had to pretend that he didn't know these people.

"What's going on? Why are there so many people suddenly here? Are they here to cause trouble?" Du Ran was a little worried. With so many grown men blocking the door, she didn't dare to deal with them, for fear that they were here to cause trouble.

"Don't worry, Madam, I'm here!" Mu Zhou raised his eyebrows. "But it looks like he's not here to mess things up. He might have been shocked by my parade today and came here just to drink."

Du Ran looked at the door doubtfully.

Suddenly, a strong man at the door turned his head and saw Mu Zhou standing at the second floor stairs, and immediately shouted enthusiastically: "Hey! Mu Zhou!"

Du Ran turned his head and looked at Mu Zhou: "Do you two know each other?"

Mu Zhou immediately shook his head and frowned at the man, somewhat displeased: "Do you recognize me?"

The sturdy man looked at him with admiration: "Of course I recognize you. Aren't you in the parade today?"

Mu Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "See, he came here because of the parade. How could I possibly know him?"

"In that case, let's wait at the door. We'd better hurry up. We're waiting to go in and see Mu Zhou! It would be a pity until death if we don't take a look at this handsome guy who is rare in a thousand years!" The sturdy man seemed a little excited. After he said that, everyone else also quieted down and lined up in an orderly manner to wait to enter the store.

Once these 500-plus people lined up, the queue at the door immediately stretched to the street corner. It seemed that there were more people than on the day of Yu Chengfeng's parade.

Mu Zhou felt more secure, with a victorious smile on his face.

"My queen, now it's clear who wins and who loses!" Mu Zhou smiled proudly.

This group of more than 500 people had great purchasing power. Before leaving, they had almost finished all the wine in Xusheng Restaurant. Du Ran almost had to make emergency adjustments.

When checking the accounts the next day, Yu Chengfeng and Mu Zhou were waiting in front of the accounting counter.

According to the account book, Mu Zhou narrowly won with five taels of silver.

Then, the whole restaurant was filled with Mu Zhou's hearty laughter.

Yu Chengfeng had a dark face and said nothing.

"Brother Yu, I can bear you calling me grandpa!" Mu Zhou smiled proudly.

Everyone in the store gathered around. Yu Chengfeng slowly clenched his fists, then returned to normal, smiled charmingly, and said, "Grandpa!"

Mu Zhou's eyes lit up immediately, and he responded immediately: "Good grandson! Hahahaha!"

Du Ran hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "Alright, let's all go!"

Mu Zhou was in a very good mood today. He hummed a little tune, crossed his legs, and cracked melon seeds. He was having a very happy day.

At night, in the woods.

"Brother Mu Zhou, are we giving you honor?"

"Of course, thank you very much!"

"Hey, brother, we spent a lot of money that day, and now we can't even afford to eat!"

"Here you go!" Mu Zhou handed over fifty taels.

The sturdy man weighed the fifty taels and looked embarrassed: "Brother, is that all?"

"Is this not enough?" Mu Zhou was speechless.

"Brother, money is really tight recently. Our village is also in a tight spot. I don't know where a group of people appeared and took away our jobs. All the high officials and nobles nearby were robbed by them. We wanted to clean up the mess, but we couldn't find a single penny!"

"Are the people you are talking about the same group as Huang Tao and the others?" Mu Zhou frowned.

The sturdy man shook his head and said, "I don't know. This group of people not only robbed people but also people. They have already recruited people from several hills. Those who refused to surrender were killed directly. Their methods were extremely cruel. Even we couldn't help but say that they were completely heartless."

"Okay, I don't have that much money on hand right now. I'll have someone send you some money in a couple of days. Be careful too, don't get recruited!" Mu Zhou instructed, "Notify me directly if anything happens!"

"Thank you, big brother!" The strong man smiled happily: "Big brother, you were so impressive in the parade that day!"

Having said that, Mu Zhou's face darkened. He still felt like a monkey being watched, and other people's praise sounded extremely harsh.

Late at night, Mu Zhou secretly returned to the palace, but saw a sneaky figure.

"Stop!" Mu Zhou shouted, and the man shuddered and ran away.

But in the face of absolute strength, no one can escape. Mu Zhou pinched the person's neck and saw her face clearly in the moonlight. It was Fang Rong.

Fang Rong's face turned red from being strangled. She couldn't breathe, let alone call for help. If she continued for a while longer, she would have died.

Mu Zhou loosened his grip slightly, and Fang Rong's instinct for survival made her breathe heavily immediately.

"Tell me, what are you doing sneakily?!"

Fang Rong said vaguely: "I... I just can't sleep, I want to come out and get some fresh air, you... you let me go first, please!"

Mu Zhou didn't believe her and pinched her neck: "Tell the truth, or I'll break your neck right now!"

"I'm telling the truth!" Fang Rong was a little anxious, but her life was in someone else's hands, so she didn't dare to act rashly.

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?" Mu Zhou started to exert force again with the hand that he had just loosened. In an instant, Fang Rong seemed to have been drained of all her strength.

Just when she thought she was doomed, Mu Zhou let go of her hand and asked again: "Tell me! What are you going to do!"

This time, Fang Rong knew she could no longer hide it.

"I just want to go to the warehouse to see how much money the palace has. The princess has recently renovated her study and even plated the door with gold. If the palace is out of money, how are Wenjun and I going to live?" Fang Rong said with a hoarse voice and tears in her eyes.

Mu Zhou seemed to believe it a little, and his hand strength was less, but he still restrained her, and warned her unhappily: "Allowing you to come to the palace is already the greatest kindness of the queen, and you still want to take the money of the palace for yourself? Even if the money of the palace is spent, it has nothing to do with you. If you feel that you can't live in the palace, then get out, no one wants to keep you!"

"It doesn't matter to me, but Wenjun is the prince's son after all. How can he suffer with me?" Fang Rong started to play the emotional card and cried pitifully.

"Bah!" Hearing her say that, Mu Zhou got even angrier: "You know best whether Meng Wenjun and Meng Yuan have a relationship, right? How can a person who can't even lift his legs have the strength to have a baby with you? Don't be ridiculous! I let you stay here because I'm giving you face, don't be shameless, Meng Wenjun is still young and doesn't know much! You are such a grown-up, and you lie with a shameless face, aren't you ashamed!"

Fang Rong was stunned, her eyes full of panic.

Mu Zhou pushed her out: "If you want to stay in the palace, be honest and don't have any crooked thoughts!"

Fang Rong fell to the ground, holding her neck and sobbing.
