The middle-aged man sneered, and did not speak. He raised his chin slightly, looked down at Tan Zong with a arrogant look on his face.

"Boy, our master has given you a chance. If you don't serve tea, you will apologize!" The black-faced man stared at Tan Zong fiercely, looking arrogant, "After passing this village, there will be no store, and you will have no place to cry."[]

"Okay." Tan Zong said, pretended to be helpless and shrugged his shoulders. He walked to the table beside him and poured a cup of tea. He brought it to the middle-aged man and said with a smile, "I offended you just now. Please be generous and don't worry about it."

Seeing this, Fatty Wang, Aunt Mei and others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the expression on their faces eased. If Tan Zong had a conflict with the middle-aged man, the consequences would be really unpredictable. No matter how many people at the scene would be more or less implicated, especially Piaoxiangyuan, which might be a disaster.

"Hmph!" The middle-aged man saw Tan Zong standing there straight, and when he served the tea, he didn't even bow his waist, as if he had no sincerity, he couldn't help but snorted coldly, his eyelids drooped, and he looked at Manluo, ignoring Tan Zong.

"Oh, I forgot, I should kneel down and worship tea. You are a noble person in the capital. If I offend you, a plain-headed commoner, then you are looking for death." Seeing this, Tan Zong suddenly realized and reached out and patted his head, sat down and wanted to kneel down, with a look of fear and fear on his face. "You will return to Beijing by then, and it will not be a matter of one word to deal with me."

"Young Master, wait." Seeing that Tan Zong was about to kneel down to the middle-aged man, Man Luo made a sound to stop him, looked up and walked to the middle-aged man, took the teacup from Tan Zong's hand, and softened his knees, kneeled in front of the middle-aged man, holding and handing it to the middle-aged man, "Man Luo was ungrateful just now, offended Master, and hoped that Master would not be as calculating as a little girl."

"If you were so sensible, this matter would be gone." The middle-aged man looked at Manluo, smiled slightly, reached out to touch her fair and smooth cheeks, reached out to take the teacup, and said while drinking, "Since you know you were wrong, I will serve you tonight and make you feel comfortable serving me. I will just let go of this matter, otherwise..."

"Hmph, let this broken place close, and you will all be allocated to the northern border." After saying that, the middle-aged man snorted coldly and looked around at the people at the scene with a cold expression.

"Manluo must satisfy me." Manluo forced a smile after hearing this, with an extremely sad expression.

Six or seven years ago, an eunuch from the Inspectorate Province of the Capital came to Yangzhou to purchase court embroidery. According to the usual practice, the merchants who supplied the goods rushed to receive them. In order to curry favor with the eunuch, a merchant in charge of the goods specially invited the top sign of Yihonglou to accompany him.

Perhaps it was because the top card's charming skills were too superb, or the eunuch had some psychological flaws. In the charm of the top card, the eunuch couldn't help but be crazy and locked the top card in the room and tossed all night.

Since eunuchs are eunuchs and have physical defects and cannot do things like normal men and women, they often have psychological attachment to things that are far beyond ordinary people. In order to gain physiological pleasure, they often use some extraordinary means.

The eunuch lived at the merchant's house that night. All night, the servants at the wealthy merchant's house could hear the screams of the top card, which was chilling, but no one dared to go in and check it out.

The next day, when the eunuch left the room, people discovered that the top card was lying on the bed with bruises and bruises, dying, whips, tooth marks, scalds and candles on his body, which was terrible.

Later, in order to calm down the situation, the business had to admit that it was unlucky and spent a huge amount of money to redeem the top brand, and this matter was suppressed.

The spy in Yangzhou of the Supervision Bureau also learned about this incident and reported it to the upper house, perhaps because the incident was a local welcoming and sending, and the top sign was a brothel woman, and the incident happened at the businessman's home. Therefore, the people in the Supervision Bureau did not care about this matter, but just regarded it as a joke, and could not offend the eunuchs in the palace for such trivial matters.

Since then, the girls in brothels in Yangzhou were afraid of the eunuchs from Beijing, and the businesses no longer took the initiative to send women to accompany the eunuchs, for fear of causing such a thing again.

Fortunately, the eunuch who went to Yangzhou to do business later was quite normal. Although he also went to visit brothels, he never did anything out of the ordinary.

Once they were bitten by a snake, they were afraid of the ropes for ten years. Even so, the girls in the brothel were still scared of the eunuchs, and they often retained some strength when serving those eunuchs.

Tonight, the middle-aged man called Manluo when he came to Piaoxiangyuan. When he learned that Manluo was suffering from wind and cold, he did not believe it and led his men straight into the small courtyard where Manluo lived.

After seeing Manluo, the middle-aged man couldn't help but shine. He took a 100 tael of silver bill on the spot and asked Manluo to serve him overnight.

Manluo had just recovered from a serious illness at this time and was weak. If it were an ordinary guest, she would refuse directly. However, after feeling that the other party was an eunuch from Beijing, she promised to accompany him to have a few glasses of wine and wait until he recovered before accompanying him.

However, the middle-aged man's attitude was very tough, saying that he liked Manluo's weak and delicate appearance at this time, which had a unique flavor.

Looking at the hot flames in the middle-aged man's eyes, Manluo couldn't help but think of the top card leaning on the Red Mansion six or seven years ago. When she was in a dilemma, Aunt Mei came after receiving the news.

When Aunt Mei saw that middle-aged people were not good, she pointed out in a vague way that this was the property of Gu Sinian, the Tongzhi of Yangzhou Prefecture. She hoped that middle-aged people could open their minds and resolve the matter smoothly.

Gu Sinian's name was not good in front of middle-aged people. He said contemptuously, "It's just a small deputy fifth-rank peanut official" and ignored Aunt Mei.

When Aunt Mei saw the middle-aged man's style and virtue, she knew that there must be a problem with her psychology. How could she let Manluo, who was sick, serve him, and maybe Manluo was eaten alive by him and not even left with bones.

So Aunt Mei smiled and patiently explained to middle-aged man that she hoped that another girl could come to him from now on.

Facing Aunt Mei who was "chatting endlessly", the black-faced man slapped her in the face. Aunt Mei was stunned at the time. She had never been beaten since she became famous.

When the black-faced man beat Aunt Mei, Bi Dongcheng, who received the news, happened to bring the group of salt merchants in the door. After witnessing the scene, he shouted at the black-faced man and prepared to let his subordinates take him down.

Bi Dongcheng has always admired Manluo and often came to praise her, hoping to have a love affair. Unfortunately, Manluo has always been close to him. This time, he heard that Manluo was in trouble, so he immediately acted as a flower protector. He was not sure of the identity of the middle-aged man.

When the middle-aged man spoke, Bi Dongcheng felt a chill. Although he also knew many friends in the capital, he really had no way to go for the eunuchs in the palace.

Among the four major groups of civil officials, military generals, supervisory authority and eunuchs, the eunuchs group is in a neutral position and treats the other three forces equally.

Therefore, whether it is civil servants, military generals or supervisory authority, they are easily unwilling to offend eunuchs. After all, they are close servants around the official family, and sometimes they can subtly influence some decisions of the official family.

Facing the middle-aged man with a tough attitude, Bi Dongcheng had no choice for a moment, but he could not watch Manluo be ruined by this "demon" who is neither male nor female. It was for his reputation, so he bit the bullet and beat the middle-aged man.

Tan Zong's arrival just gave Bi Dongcheng a step. He took the opportunity to lead the middle-aged man's spearhead on Tan Zong and escaped from the dispute.

"Since Miss Manluo pleads for you, then our master will give you a yardstick. It's okay, go there, don't disturb our master's pleasure in drinking." Seeing that Manluo agreed, a smile suddenly appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and he nodded slightly at the black-faced man beside him. The black-faced man immediately said to Tan Zong standing there domineeringly.

"Miss Manluo, didn't you agree to have a few drinks with you? How could those blind guys be so excited?" Tan Zong glanced at the black-faced man, and smiled and helped Manluo up kneeling beside him.

"Young Master..." Manluo looked at Tan Zong in surprise when he heard this. Didn't Tan Zong admit defeat just now? Why was it so unwise? The situation had already subsided, and he said such words to add fuel to the fire.

Not only Man Luo, but also middle-aged man and Bi Dongcheng, everyone looked at Tan Zong. The meaning of Tan Zong just now was clearly that he did not take middle-aged man seriously.

In fact, if Manluo hadn't taken the cup of tea, Tan Zong would have poured the tea on the middle-aged man's face, and a small eunuch dared to be so arrogant in the brothel. Do you really think it's lawless?

Generally speaking, if you can come to the local area to handle bad eunuchs, your grade will definitely not be much higher, otherwise how could you take on this errand-run errand job?

In any case, Tan Zong is a sixth-rank Jiangnan guerrilla in the Supervisory Institute, representing Zhao Yun'an. In addition, he is a middle-aged man who is looking for trouble first and has not stated his identity. He doesn't mind taking the opportunity to repair this arrogant guy.

A small eunuch actually dared to provoke the sixth-rank Jiangnan guerrilla in the Supervision Office. Since he wanted to humiliate himself, Tan Zong would not need to save face for him.

Besides, Tan Zong felt that this middle-aged man was not like an eunuch in the palace. Although he was very stylish and had a Beijing accent, he did not have the calmness and restraint of the eunuch, and his every move seemed too artificial.

After Zhao Yunan's identity as a prince was exposed, the corresponding ceremonial guard also came to Nanjing City, and naturally there were eunuchs. If it weren't for someone like Tan Zong who had been an official and dealing with eunuchs around Zhao Yunan, it would be impossible to find this subtle difference.

"Boy, are you sincerely looking for death?" The black-faced man glanced at the middle-aged man with a gloomy face, pointed his hand at Tan Zong, and said gloomyly.

"You really have a lot of words." Tan Zong shook off the folding fan in his hand, shaking it while looking at the black-faced man leisurely with a faint smile on his face, "Generally speaking, no one who talks too much will end up!"

"You..." The black-faced man was furious when he heard this, and raised his sword and yelled at Tan Zong, "Believe it or not, the uncle slashed you with one knife."

"Sun Aisi, if someone openly commits a crime, I wouldn't be ignoring you if you want to Aisii, right?" Tan Zong smiled slightly when he heard this and looked at Sun He beside him.

"That's natural." Sun He saw Tan Zong looking at him, and his heart was filled with pain, and he said in a deep voice, "No matter who it is, if he causes trouble here, I will deal with it impartially."

"What a fair deal!" The middle-aged man snorted coldly when he heard this, looking at Sun He coldly, "Mr. Sun, since you want to deal with it impartially, then drive away these unreasonable people, and they disturb the old man's drunkenness."

"When it comes to unreasonable trouble, I think it's yourselves. He knew that Miss Manluo was ill and forced to accompany her." Tan Zong turned to the middle-aged man, smiled, and said slowly, "Do you really think there is no king here?"

"Are you determined to go against me?" The middle-aged man was angry by Tan Zong's understatement. He reached out and slapped the table, stood up, and looked at him with cold eyes, "Do you know what the outcome is to go against me?"

"Are you threatening me?" Tan Zong raised his eyes and looked at the middle-aged man with a smile. The more angry the middle-aged man was, the more confident he was, so he seemed so manic.

Tan Zong and the middle-aged man looked at each other, and the people in the room looked at each other. No one understood why Tan Zong's attitude changed, or was it that Tan Zong's previous showing of weakness deliberately "titled" the other party?

"Boy, do you know who our master is?" Just as Tan Zong was confronting the middle-aged man, the black-faced man suddenly walked forward and pointed at Tan Zong with a fierce look.

"I don't know who he is, but I know you're in trouble." Tan Zong's smile became stronger and stronger, and he raised his leg and kicked the black-faced man in the chest. "I said that people who talk too much will have no good ending. Since you are looking for death, I can't blame me for this!"

The black-faced man had no time to react. He heard a muffled bang, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth. His huge body suddenly flew back, knocking down the two companions behind him, and fainted on the ground.

Seeing this, the scene suddenly became silent. People stared at Tan Zong who was standing there in a daze. No one expected that the gentle and gentle Tan Zong would suddenly deal with the black-faced man. The strong black-faced man like a bear was like a scarecrow. He was easily kicked by Tan Zong and had no strength to fight back at all.

"Follower, how can you do it first!" Liu Lu looked anxiously at Tan Zong standing like nothing happened, and grabbed the corner of her clothes with both hands, looking very worried.
