Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Nine The Deputy Chief of the Court

Yang Ze snorted, looked up and shouted loudly, "If I guess the answer to the riddle, will all the expenses I have in the restaurant tonight be responsible for?"

The shopkeeper of Jinyu Pavilion was on the first floor. When he heard this, he smiled slightly and thought to himself: "What a local bun. Just by you guys from other places, you can know what delicious food is. Even if you eat a few of your stomachs, how much can you eat? Even if the princes and ministers come to me for free and eat, I can still afford it!"

The shopkeeper didn't say anything, he wanted to leave the opportunity to the nobles above.

The young man with a sharp voice upstairs said without even thinking, "It doesn't have to be counted on the restaurant. As long as you can guess, then my master invites you to eat at any rate. It doesn't matter if you eat until your stomach is broken!"

The shopkeeper’s joy, so good. Even if it’s a small amount of money, the nobles above saved me!

Yang Ze laughed and said, "Okay, that's all." He turned around and smiled at the people watching the fun around him, "Everyone is waiting here. I'll treat you to wine and meat tonight. A hundred tables will be opened on the street in a while. Everyone will have a share. Anyway, the rich above treat you to the guests, so everyone doesn't have to save money for him!"

When the people heard this, they didn't care whether they could fulfill it or not. They shouted together, and they instantly changed from scolding Yang Ze to praising Yang Ze!

The young man with a sharp voice above looked dark. Why do you want to kill my master’s sucker? He had to open a hundred tables for treating him. He was so angry. But did he know the answer? Should I ask the deputy general manager to change the riddle?

Before he could figure it out, he quickly went to ask the nobleman inside, and saw Yang Ze looking up again and shouting: "Before guessing the riddle, I have something else. I have a small request. Please ask the nobleman above to agree!"

"There is so much nonsense, just say it quickly if you want to say it!" The young man said impatiently, still hesitating whether to turn around and tell the deputy general manager about changing riddles.

But Yang Ze shouted again: "This requirement is - can you change a riddle? This is too difficult!"

The young man was stunned. Then he burst into laughter, as if he had heard the funnyest joke in the world. He no longer hesitated and said loudly: "It's this riddle. You can guess it as you like, eat whatever you want, and treat it as you want. If you want to treat it, you can go to the center of the street and call yourself a fool. If you are too long-winded, I will ask someone to strip your clothes!"

Yang Ze did not say anything else. He just picked up the paper, read the riddle loudly, and then said in a louder voice: "The answer is that bananas are a fruit produced in the south!"

As soon as the answer was revealed, the people around them did not applaud. None of them had ever heard of this kind of fruit. Even if everyone is from Chang'an, they really don't know what bananas are. Since they don't know, they can't applaud!

But when the young man on the upper floor heard it, he was stunned as if he was thundering. He never expected that someone knew about Banana. He originally thought that only the royal people in Chang'an knew about this rare fruit. Even royal relatives who had a slightly far-reaching relationship could not know it, but how did a commoner from the north know?

Nowadays, the traffic is not developed and the information is not developed. Bananas are widely known. In fact, this young man knows it. It is also because of his special identity. He only knows that he has never eaten it. Even the deputy general manager inside has only seen it. He is not qualified to eat it. A tribute such a valuable tribute, let alone the deputy general manager, even the chief manager is not qualified to eat one. It is a super tribute that can only be enjoyed by the queen, the most favored prince and the princess.

Yang Ze smiled and said, "How is it, I guess right, little girl, I really think I don't know!"

The young man shook his body and knew that he had caused trouble. He had just promised tonight that the expenses would be calculated on the deputy general manager's head, but it would be counted on the deputy general manager's head. That was a hundred tables, not a decimal. The deputy general manager was so angry that he would not agree to this account. If he didn't agree, then he would not be able to pay the expenses?

The shopkeeper downstairs' face turned green, and he thought of an important question. What if the noble man inside refused to admit the account? Even if he admitted the account, what should he do? He didn't have the courage to ask for the account at the place where the deputy general manager was in charge. Isn't that asking for death?

The young man stumbled back to the house, knelt down to the person inside, and said, "The child has caused trouble for his adoptive father, so please punish him!"

The person inside snorted and said in a duck-sounding voice: "What a big deal, what's the point of punishment? Don't be so careless. Look at your unpromising look, get up quickly, don't let the prince-consort make a joke! Well, let that kid come up and let our family take a good look at him. He can actually guess the banana. I guess he is an amazing person!"

Another voice sounded: "Maybe that boy has been to the south and seen bananas, otherwise how could he guess!" The person who spoke was not someone else, but coincidentally, but he was Princess Yong'an's son-in-law. He didn't care about Princess Yong'an's affairs, of course he couldn't care. He only knew how to eat, drink and have fun. Tonight, the Jinyu Pavilion was lively, so he came here to have fun. He happened to meet the deputy general manager of the palace and got together.

The duck voice is Liang Dazhong, the deputy general manager of the palace. He is in his fifties. Because he is good at flattering and serving others, he is deeply loved by the queen and has become the deputy general manager. He is not on duty tonight, so he comes out of the palace, has fun on Zhuque Street, and watches the fun in Jinyu Pavilion.

However, because Liang Dazhong was too depressed in the palace, there were too many intrigues, and he was a eunuch, he was inevitably a little psychologically incomplete, and he liked to be abusive to others. He decided that the rule that someone who could not guess three riddles in a row would be stripped off his clothes tonight, and he decided to see people as a play to satisfy his perverted psychology.

The young man said, "You guys, let's call him up!" He is also a eunuch, and he is Liang Dazhong's adopted son. Nowadays, eunuchs like to accept young eunuchs as adopted sons. It is considered a relationship between godfather and godson. Those who can be godsons for eunuchs are considered confidants.
