The stupid son of Chongba

Chapter 108: Angry and humiliated, he made a scene in the brothel!

When everyone heard the word "Xinxue", they all understood.

"So Miss Yanran has been studying psychology recently! This is indeed a profound subject. I am also studying it and have gained some insights!"

"Haha, psychology! If you ask me other questions, I may not be able to answer them, but I really know how to answer this one! Miss Yanran, please feel free to ask me questions, and I will definitely answer them for you!"

"You can do it? You're just bragging! Great scholars like Song Lian and Liu Ji are still studying it! Do you dare to say that you can do it?"

"..."

All of a sudden, the spectators were whispering and talking among themselves.

"Xinxue, what on earth is that?"

The middle-aged local tyrant showed doubt and said,

"How did I not hear it being said?"

The thin man beside him looked disdainful when he heard this.
"You don't even know about Xinxue? Then you have no chance today."

"Miss Yanran is an educated person, so she naturally wants to find a man who is well-educated, and that cannot be obtained by just a few bucks."

Hearing this, the middle-aged rich man suddenly became angry.

"What the hell are you talking about! Are you looking for a beating?!"

Not only was he rich, he also had a lot of brute strength. He grabbed the thin man as if he were grabbing a chicken!

"Hey, sir, sir, calm down!"

The madam hurriedly persuaded him to come down, saying repeatedly,

"We are all honored guests, why are you so angry?"

"Put out the fire, put out the fire..."

"Humph!" The middle-aged local tyrant finally let go of his hand and yelled, "What kind of stupid psychology is that? How great is that? Can it compare to the money in my pocket?"

Hearing this, the madam suddenly panicked.

"Sir, please don't talk nonsense..."

She hurriedly said,
"This school of mind was created by the prince. Prince, do you understand? The emperor's son!"

"If you say something rude here and someone with ulterior motives hears you, you're done for!"

The thin man straightened his clothes, still showing no fear, and sneered:
"Why do you care about him, old lady? Just let him bark!"

"By then, not only will you lose your money, you may even lose your life!"

"Hum..."

These words finally calmed the middle-aged tycoon down and he dared not speak nonsense again.

No matter how dumb he was, he knew the weight of the word "prince".

"Xin Xue?"

Li Qi frowned, pinched the paper in his arms, and whispered,

"Oh no, this little bitch doesn't play by the rules! The poems I asked the gentlemen to write are useless now!"

"Which of you two knows the psychology?"

In order to win over Yanran today, he had done his homework and predicted a lot of questions.

If you ask about poetry, he would definitely be able to answer it, but this time the question turned out to be about psychology... who knows?

Even if you know the questions in advance, it won’t work! This is a new subject, and few people have mastered it!

"I don't know! My dad might know something."

Hu Peng shook his head and looked at Lu Xian.

"Brother, do you know?"

Lu Xian rolled his eyes.

"What can I know? I'm lucky enough to know how to write the word 'Xinxue'!"

He said angrily,

"This bitch is always causing problems! It's obvious that she doesn't want to sell herself!"

"Brother Qi, we spent so much money, we can't let it go to waste! If soft tactics don't work, let's use hard tactics! I'll ask Liu Biao to call a few brothers from the Inspection Department to come up and see if she will give in!"

Li Qi had a gloomy expression and did not comment.

"Liu Biao, go call some brothers first!"

Lu Xian waved to the guards around him and said,
"There is a temple fair today, and the Inspection Department must have sent a large number of people to maintain public order. Call ten brothers to come up in the name of my father!"

Liu Biao was about to answer, but saw Li Qi waving his hand.

"Don't make any noise for now."

He said in a deep voice,

"If we can't answer it, others may not be able to answer it."

"Let's take a look first and then talk."

Only then did Lu Xian nod and signal Liu Biao to leave.

Their words were heard clearly by Zhu Ju who was standing behind them, and he roughly understood what the so-called "mobilization of troops" was all about.

Lu Xian's father should be the official in charge of the Inspection Office, and the duty of the Inspection Office is to maintain public order, arrest thieves and the like. On days like today, additional personnel will be dispatched to maintain public order.

Lu Xian selected a few people in the name of his father to calm the situation, and let them go back after the matter was over. This way, no one would know about it. These people were yamen runners and constables, and strictly speaking, they were not soldiers, so naturally the emperor would not know about it.

What a great loophole!

However, if he was discovered, he would be dead. After all, the emperor could not tolerate the private mobilization of soldiers in the capital, even if they were from the Inspection Office!
After Zhu Ju knew their background, he no longer paid attention to them. Instead, he became more interested in the courtesan Yanran.

This courtesan was actually interested in his psychology. From her tone, it seemed like she had reached a bottleneck after thinking about it?
I have to say, it’s quite tasteful!

"It seems that you all have a good understanding of psychology. Now Yanran feels more confident."

Yanran couldn't help but smile as she saw everyone chatting animatedly.

"I heard that the great scholar Song Lian has even said that he is willing to be a disciple of the School of Mind, which shows the appeal of this discipline."

"To be honest, when I first came into contact with the study of the mind, I was also attracted by the wonderful principles in it... There is nothing outside the mind, the mind is the principle, and the mind is the origin of all things, so there is no need to seek outside!"

She paused for a moment and said seriously:
"I don't know how you feel when you read this sentence. I am just shocked! And besides being shocked, I want to know more about how to seek within!"

"His Royal Highness the King of Wu said that the way to seek inner peace is to appeal to one's conscience. He said that everyone is born with a conscience, and it is an instinct."

"But this instinct is not always present. If it can be present all the time, then you are a saint! It will disappear and be obscured. You need to constantly explore and make it present. His Royal Highness the King of Wu calls this behavior the conscience."

"Yanran's doubts lie in how to reach the conscience? What methods can be used to dig out the conscience and make it appear?"

In these words, she expressed her views on psychology and raised her questions.

I have to say that this question was asked with great skill. For a moment, the whole audience was silent.

The few people who were talking loudly just now were now lost in thought.

And those few who didn't understand in the first place were now even more blind and couldn't even understand this question!

"sure……"

Zhu Ju looked a little surprised, looking at the courtesan in front of him and muttered,
“The insights are good and the questions are quite profound.”

I have to say, this is a good question and deserves a lesson.

At this moment, Zhu Ju also put away his playful attitude and looked at Yanran with a higher regard.

The fact that she could ask such a question at least proved that this courtesan was not selling her body under the guise of being elegant, but that she really had some knowledge!
However, this question is indeed a bit difficult. It is really too much to expect these prostitutes to answer it...

"What are you talking about!"

Lu Xian frowned and said,
"I don't understand anything you're saying! What's this about conscience, what's this about instinct..."

He had never been exposed to psychology, so he was naturally confused at the moment. He was so confused that he was a little irritated.

"I do understand a little."

Hu Peng looked around and said,

"Brother Qi, what do you say?"

"I think none of them seem to be able to answer. Why don't you go up and try? Regardless of whether it's right or not, answer her first! If she's not satisfied, we can use other means. After all, this little bitch doesn't even know the answer herself!"

Li Qi thought for a moment and nodded.

In a moment, he stepped out and stood in front of Yanran.

His appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention and they all looked over.

"It's Master Li!"

"The person who wanted to thank Miss Yanran on behalf of everyone just now? Haha..."

"Don't laugh. He looks so confident. Maybe he is really knowledgeable. I respect knowledgeable people."

"..."

Everyone was whispering, Yanran also looked up at Li Qi and said with a smile:
"It's Master Li."

"I heard that Master Li is known for his quick wit, and it really lives up to his reputation. Do you have an answer? Yanran is looking forward to it."

Hearing this, the corners of Li Qi's mouth slightly raised.

"I do have some ideas. I will try to answer them for Miss Yanran."

He smiled and said,
"Don't think too much about the so-called conscience."

"The method is very simple. Just keep doing good deeds. By doing good deeds, you can discover your conscience. When everyone thinks you are a good person, then your conscience will be revealed all the time, right?" Hearing this, Yanran was slightly stunned.

Hu Peng and Lu Xian behind Li Qi were already clapping and cheering:

"it is good!"

"The truth is simple. Master Li's words are really enlightening!"

"Yes, listening to your words is worth ten years of reading! To follow one's conscience is to do good deeds. Your words are concise and to the point! I admire you very much! I'm sure this answer will satisfy Miss Yanran!"

No matter what happens, let’s praise it first! After all, people tend to follow the crowd.

If a few people think something makes sense and applaud, then everyone will agree with it.

Sure enough, after hearing this flattery, many of the audience had a look of enlightenment on their faces, and some even slapped their thighs in regret.

"So it's that simple? Why didn't I think of that?!"

For a moment, Li Qi's answer seemed to have become the correct answer.

"It seems that I may be able to enjoy fine wine and spend a wonderful night with Miss Yanran tonight."

Li Qi felt a sense of pride at the moment, he looked straight at Yanran and said with a smile,
"There are too many ordinary people out there. I want to discuss psychology with Miss Yanran alone. What do you think, Miss Yanran?"

Hu Peng grinned and hurriedly congratulated:
"Congratulations, Brother Qi! A talented man and a beautiful woman, chatting freely about philosophy, if this gets out, it will definitely be a great story!"

Lu Xian also hurried to catch up and said:

"Brother Qi has profound attainments in psychology and has won the heart of a beautiful woman. I admire you, my brothers!"

The two of them congratulated him repeatedly, and Li Qi's face lit up with pride.

He just spoke based on his feeling, but he didn't expect that he would surpass everyone else!
I have to say, this feeling is much better than forcing someone to have sex with you!

For a moment, all the spectators looked disappointed, as if the beauty had become someone else's wife.

However, after thinking for a while, Yanran shook her head.

"Yanran had thought of Mr. Li's answer before, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is not that easy."

She said seriously,

“It is good to do good deeds, but conscience is not something that can be cultivated, but an instinct that is ‘inherent in me’. What can be cultivated by doing good deeds is kindness, not conscience.”

"To the best of your conscience, it shouldn't be like this."

"What you said makes sense, sir, but I feel it is not the real answer. I am still a little confused, so I am sorry that I cannot serve you."

This denial made everyone's eyes light up.

Denied?

There's still drama?!

However, compared with them, Li Qi's expression became a little ugly.

Lu Xian was even more angry.

"Miss Yanran, are you dissatisfied with Brother Qi's answer?"

He said coldly,

"But among all the people present, I'm afraid only Brother Qi can answer one or two questions! The study of the mind is profound, and it is not easy to have some truth in it."

"If I want to make you completely satisfied, even if His Royal Highness the King of Wu is here, I dare not say that I can definitely satisfy you!"

"That's enough! It's not an injustice for you to have a romantic encounter with my brother Qi. On the contrary, it's your honor!"

He has been annoyed with this little slut for a long time!

If Li Qi and Hu Peng hadn't been suppressing her, she would have choked!
"That's a bad word."

Yanran said seriously,
"To study, one must have a spirit of getting to the bottom of things, and never do anything half-hearted."

"Besides, Mr. Li's answer is something I had already thought of. It should be far from the real answer, so Yanran said she was still confused."

"If Master Li can really give a profound answer that convinces Yanran, then Yanran will definitely light candles and pour wine for Master Li personally and ask for his teachings on the heart."

This is already a very euphemistic way of saying it.

However, Lu Xian burst into laughter when he heard this.

"Hahahaha...study. You're a whore, and you're really studying?"

Lu Xian sneered and said unceremoniously,
"If you want to sell yourself, just sell yourself. Don't be so mean! It's as if you are a good woman!"

"I spent so much money on you, and yet you still act so indifferent, who do you think you are?"

"I'm telling you, our brother Qi is kindhearted and won't bother with you, but I'm not a pushover! If you treat us like monkeys today, I'll tear down your brothel and tie you up and take you back!"

"Do you believe it?!"

These words were extremely unpleasant to the ear, causing Yanran, who was originally sitting quietly, to suddenly change her expression and tremble with anger!
These words made the guests present unbearable and they all glared at him!

"What are you talking about!"

"How dare you insult Miss Yanran? If you can't answer, then don't answer. Don't go crazy here. You have no manners and are making people laugh at you!"

"That's right! I thought about it carefully, that answer is bullshit, and Miss Yanran certainly won't agree to it! You were willing to give me the reward, so why do you want to regret it now? Don't play if you can't afford it, it's embarrassing!"

"From the beginning, I felt that the three of them looked like good people with pointed faces. Look at how angry they are! How could Miss Yanran possibly look down on such people?!"

"..."

In an instant, the guests were filled with righteous indignation and attacked him in groups, with the sound of ridicule and cursing being heard everywhere.

Lu Xian had never been insulted like this before, and he immediately flew into a rage, shouting:
"It's the other way around!"

"Liu Biao!"

boom!
Liu Biao suddenly pulled out the long knife in his hand and smashed it to the ground with a dull sound.

He let out a loud whistle, and in a moment, several burly men trotted up from downstairs.

"Boss!"

"Boss."

Liu Biao had no expression on his face and just said:

"Protect the three young masters."

"Yes!" Upon receiving the order, the three men took out the daggers from their calves, walked to the sides of Li Qi and the other two, their eyes ferocious.

Four strong men with knives quickly calmed the situation down.

"Speak up, why don't you say anything!"

Lu Xian looked at everyone and said coldly,

"If anyone is blind, I don't mind letting my men give him a blow to teach him a lesson!"

For a while, there was no sound.

The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became a little tense.

Zhu Ju watched coldly in the corner without saying a word.

"How could the son of a nobleman be so arrogant?"

He whispered,

"Just for this behavior, you should be beheaded!"

At the command, several strong men with knives rushed up. No matter who they were, whether they were family slaves or runners and constables from the Inspection Office, this kind of behavior should not happen in Yingtian!

"oops!"

The madam rushed out and held down the knife in Liu Biao's hand, saying,

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"

"Sir, this is all a misunderstanding! Why are you using knives and guns? We are all honored guests, please don't ruin the atmosphere!"

"Uncle, just give me some face and take the knife back, okay? I..."

Snapped!
Lu Xian slapped the madam directly on the face.

"You old bitch, you dare me to give you face! Do you deserve it?"

He sneered,

"I'm telling you, I've tolerated this little bitch Yanran for a long time! Stop pretending to be a lady from a wealthy family!"

"If you want to sell yourself, just sell yourself. Why bother with learning? A whore thinks she's worthy of being a dilettante. It really makes me laugh my ass off!"

"My brother Qi has a good temper, but I'm not that easy to talk to! You've spent so much money on her. If you don't give me an explanation today, I'll just have someone smash your place, believe it or not! Don't think I'm trying to scare you, my father is in charge of the entire Yingtian Inspection Department!"

The madam was slapped in the face and was still a little dizzy.

Yanran was so angry that she was shaking all over. She picked up the silver on the ground and threw it at Lu Xian!

"I can be killed but not humiliated!"

Her eyes were red and she said in a trembling voice,
"Whoever wants your filthy money, give it back to you!"

boom!
A silver ingot hit Lu Xian directly on the head!

This scene shocked everyone present.

Unexpectedly, the weak and timid Miss Yanran would be so brave and fierce at this moment!

These grown men were all afraid of those four steel knives, but she dared to hit people directly with silver!
For a moment, everyone stood in awe!
Even though she is a brothel girl, she is a brothel girl with a very strong personality!

Zhu Ju's eyes also flashed with a hint of surprise, and he couldn't help but re-examine this oiran lady.
