Chapter 101: Losing one's chastity is a minor matter, but losing one's reputation is a major matter

Zhou Qiaoji took Shen Qing around to another street and entered an alley.

On both sides of the alley, various vendors' stalls are lined up, displaying a wide variety of goods.

From fresh vegetables to exquisite handicrafts, mouth-watering snacks... everything is available.

Hot steamed buns, fragrant pancakes, crispy fried dough sticks... the air is filled with the aroma of various snacks, and the sounds of hawking are endless.

Children were running around and playing in the alleys, their laughter and noises mixed with the sounds of hawking, giving the place a very lively feel.

After passing through this alley, we continued walking towards the Sezhou family compound. The shadows of the trees on both sides gradually became taller and deeper.

The number of vendors also dropped sharply.

It's like a boundary, and once you cross that line, you won't see any vendors.

Soon, Zhou Qiaoji brought Shen Qing to a vermilion wooden door.

There was no one around, and Shen Qing's steps were slightly hesitant. The blood in his body was already surging, and he felt tight inside and loose outside.

Zhou Qiaoji seemed much calmer. She knocked gently on the wooden door, making a low and rhythmic sound.

After a while, the wooden door creaked open and a man in green clothes stuck his head out.

Menzi's eyes lingered on Shen Qing for a moment, and when he saw Zhou Qiaoji, his face froze, and he quickly bowed respectfully: "Miss Twelve, you're back?"

Zhou Qiaoji nodded slightly and said to the doorman, "Go and ask Manager Chang to come out and tell him that I have something to ask him."

Menzi responded and left, while Shen Qing stared at Menzi's back without saying anything else.

The butler Chang, who was wearing a long robe, walked over quickly. Before he arrived, he spoke first: "Miss Twelve, where have you been? I'm so worried."

When he saw Shen Qing, he was stunned for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

"It's a long story, let's talk about it later." Zhou Qiaoji walked up a flight of stairs and turned around, asking Shen Qing, "What do you want? Martial arts pills or a hundred taels of gold?"

Shen Qing didn't expect Zhou Qiaoji to be so efficient and quick in doing things without any procrastination.

On the way, he had heard about various martial arts realms and knew some of the key points. After thinking for a while, he said calmly, "It should be martial arts and elixirs."

"Okay." Zhou Qiaoji ordered, "Manager Chang, go get the copy of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art that I got from my second brother, and bring the Qi Tempering Pill as well."

Manager Chang said with a strange expression, "The eldest young master took the Qi Tempering Pill away when he saw that you were not here."

Zhou Qiaoji felt a tightness in his chest, but said calmly, "Then bring another 100 taels of silver."

"Okay, miss, I'll be there right away." Manager Chang nodded, bowed, then turned around and ran back to get the things.

Zhou Qiaoji looked at Shen Qing and said, "Mr. Li, please be patient. I will bring the things to you in a moment to fulfill my promise. However, the Zhou family is quite big, so it will take some time to get the things. How about Mr. Li, please follow me to a quiet place and wait for a while?"

Shen Qing refused, "I am just a country bumpkin. How can I defile the Zhou family's gate? Besides, I am only here for things. I am not a guest, so I will not go in."

"Mr. Li is really humble. Okay. It's up to you." Zhou Qiaoji didn't force it.

After about a cup of tea, Manager Chang came over holding a wooden box and said, "Miss Twelve, everything is here."

Zhou Qiaoji opened the box, flipped through it and confirmed, "That's right."

After that, she walked up to Shen Qing holding the small wooden box and said, "The martial arts skills are inside, but I don't have the elixir I promised you anymore. I'll give it to you in the form of a hundred silver notes."

Shen Qing took the box, took out the skills inside, and then flipped through the pages one by one in front of Zhou Qiaoji.

As he flipped through the pages, he explained, "Let me take a closer look at the technique, so that I don't end up suffering alone if there are any mistakes or omissions."

At this moment, Zhou Qiaoji's face showed a hint of impatience, but he quickly covered it up: "Mr. Li is right. You can take your time to read it. We are not in a hurry."

"Ah."

It took Shen Qing half an incense stick of time to finally finish reading it. After confirming that the content was complete, he said, "No problem."

"That's good."

"Miss Zhou is indeed kind and righteous." Shen Qing took out the banknotes from the box, clasped his fists and said, "Then we are even. Goodbye!"

Zhou Qiaoji said, "Master Li, please walk slowly."

After seeing Shen Qing's figure disappear in the alley, Zhou Qiaoji's mind suddenly relaxed, his face suddenly changed, and he gritted his teeth.

"Miss..." Manager Chang saw something was wrong and stepped forward to ask with concern: "What are you doing..."

"Uncle Chang, I'm going to trouble you later." Zhou Qiaoji said with a sharp look in his eyes. Manager Chang asked curiously, "Miss, what do you want me to do?"

"Kill that guy just now!"

"The eldest young master has already said that we are not allowed to kill people at will, so as not to make things difficult for his father-in-law. Please give me a reason."

Zhou Qiaoji's eyes turned red and he said, "I was deceived by that bitch."

"Ok?"

Zhou Qiaoji choked up and told everyone what had happened.

It's just that some content has been slightly hidden.

"Ah... There is such a thing? Fortunately, that damn eagle died early, otherwise, if the master got angry, he would have made his life worse than death."

Zhou Qiaoji became a little agitated.

In fact, her name was not Zhou Qiaoji, but Zhou Yu. She was the daughter of the fifth concubine and one of the favorite daughters of the master of the Zhou family. She was good at speaking and calculating, and even knew a little bit of fighting.

When facing Shen Qing, she didn't dare to tell the truth for fear of tarnishing her reputation, so she used a pseudonym.

After a while, Manager Chang said with a serious expression: "If that's the case, losing one's chastity is a small matter, but losing one's reputation is a big one. This boy must not be allowed to stay."

"Not only him, but also the three women they sent to the government office, and the group of people from the shantytown must be killed. As long as they are all killed, no one will know about this, and this matter can be covered up."

When Zhou Yu spoke, his words became a little excited.

At this moment, she hated Shen Qing so much that she wanted to cut him into pieces.

The so-called golden juice is manure water!
She, a distinguished young lady of the Zhou family, was actually forced to drink the golden juice, which was even more painful than killing her.

No matter what, that person must be killed!
The scoundrels living in the outer city will just die and no one will pay attention to them.

"Excuse me, both of you."

At this moment, a sudden voice appeared in the ears of Zhou Yu and Manager Chang, which scared them both.

They looked around and saw that Shen Qing had come back without anyone noticing, and there was no sound at all when he walked.

Zhou Yu suppressed his thoughts and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I've thought about it and decided not to learn the martial arts. Please exchange it for 100 taels of gold for me."

As he spoke, Shen Qing presented the martial arts skills with both hands.

Zhou Yu and Manager Chang looked at each other. She didn't know why Shen Qing suddenly wanted to change his martial arts, but she thought it didn't matter. It's impossible to remember anything with such a short amount of skills.

Besides, they are all going to die, so no matter how much you give, you can get it back.

Zhou Yu said, "Manager, please go and exchange the gold notes for this."

"Yes, ma'am."

This time Zhou Yu learned his lesson and didn't say another word for fear of letting something slip.

Soon, Manager Chang brought the gold ticket over: "You can click it, right?"

Shen Qing took the gold bills without counting them: "I believe you."

After saying that, he immediately handed the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art back to you and said, "I'll give you the art."

Manager Chang glanced at Zhou Yu, who gestured for him to calm down first and take action outside to prevent the incident from becoming known to everyone.

Manager Chang understood, and he obediently took the skills handed to him by Shen Qing.

Just by touching it, I found a rectangular box under the technique.

"Farewell."

Just as Manager Chang was wondering, Shen Qing had already left quickly.

He frowned, took out the rectangular box below, and asked curiously: "What is this?"

The words fell.

boom!
Fierce flames exploded from the long box with a thunderous sound, and a huge fireball instantly swept Chang Guanshi and Zhou Yu in.
