Chapter 646: My Dagger is Sharper than Ever!

ers arrive at the palace, or when receiving elders, or during grand banquets to entertain guests.But the Hou Mansion had no elders and had never held a large banquet for guests. The imperial edict was...Zhang Guan, the foreman, finally couldn't hold on any longer. He passed out filled with resentment and indignation.

Ye Shan looked at Jia Yin and asked, "County Princess, what shall we do Should we report to the Marquis"

"No need," Jia Yin sneered, "The Chang Princess's estate conducts business on a large scale and in a low-key manner. How could they send such an incompetent servant to forcibly buy and sell

"

Of course it was this servant who overstepped his bounds, smearing the face of his master. I merely helped the Princess's Mansion discipline a wicked slave and seek no reward!

"You openly sent him back. If anyone asks, just tell the truth."

"Yes, Miss," Ye Shan replied. After a moment's thought, he dragged the unconscious Zhang Guan from the front hall. Outside the door, he unloaded the carriage and tied Zhang Guan to the back of the horse before rushing towards the Princess Mansion.

There were quite a few guests in the front hall, and on the second floor, some young men and women sipping tea and enjoying snacks were also surprised to see this. Naturally, they all had a few questions.

Peng Zhanggui then wore a bitter expression as he bowed to the crowd, apologizing. "I apologize for disturbing you all. This man claimed to be from the Chang Princess's Mansion and came to my door two days ago, saying he wanted to buy the birthday cake recipe for 100 taels of silver."

Think about it, a birthday cake weighs just a few ounces of silver. How could it possibly sell for one hundred ounces

Besides, the recipes are the foundation of all food stalls, and we can't sell them! I refused outright, but he just wouldn't give up.

Just now, he came to the door again and went straight to the back garden. It happened that the county princess came over to take a seat. Not only did he fail to show any respect, but he also threatened to punish us! The county princess was offended and furious, so she gave him a good lesson.

Everyone says that the Princess Mansion conducts itself prudently and shouldn't bully others based on their status, so this person must either be a fraud or a rogue servant acting independently. Our county princess has instructed us to send this person to the Princess Mansion for identification.

Everyone nodded in agreement and responded.

“It’s possible, scammers are really brazen these days.”

"A hundred taels to buy the recipe for a birthday cake This person must be crazy! If Baiyun is willing to sell, I'll offer a thousand taels."

"Haha, I'll offer two thousand!"

Peng Zhanggui pretended not to hear the probing intentions of the crowd, smiled and clasped his hands in greeting, then ordered the attendants to send a small plate of snacks to all the guests upstairs and downstairs, as compensation.

Then Ye Shan, pulling Zhang Guan on his horse, dashed towards the princess's mansion. Wherever they went, exclamations arose; everyone was baffled as to what had happened.

Soon, the city patrol arrived to inquire.

Yé Shan revealed the waist token of the Hou Mansion, explaining that this person was a fraud. Pretending to be from the Princess Mansion, he wanted to buy the recipe for the birthday cake for one hundred taels of silver.

He was going to the princess's mansion to inquire. If it was truly not a servant of the princess's mansion, he would directly send them to the magistrate of the capital city.

The City Patrol, hearing it wasn't revenge or murder, and glancing at the humanoid broom behind the horse, decisively stepped aside.

Zhang, the foreman, was dragged all the way, his clothes and pants worn down to almost nothing. At this moment, his white flesh rubbed against the ground intimately, already bloody from the friction. He looked quite pitiful.

Even a swindler wouldn't normally treat someone this way.

The patrolmen exchanged glances, both sensing that there was something else going on.

But they didn't say much, just following behind and pushing aside the onlookers all the way until they reached the gates of the Princess's residence.

The gatekeepers of the Princess's Mansion were two teenage boys. Seeing Ye Shan dragging the steward to the front door, they were both startled and started yelling.

"Zhang Guanxi, Zhang Guanxi! What's going on here"

"Who are you, to drag Zhang Guanxi Have you eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's gall!"

Ye Shan coldly glanced at them and said, “So this man is really the manager of your Princess Mansion He barged into our Baiyun Pavilion, forcing us to buy things, and even spoke rudely to our county princess! I thought he was a con artist, so I sent someone to confirm.”

"Unexpectedly, it's truly someone from your princess estate! This is strange, did he act on his own accord to disrupt our shop, or was he following someone's orders to bully our county princess"

A crowd of onlookers had gathered around, their eyes gleaming with excitement as they strained to hear what was being said, eager to get the inside scoop.

The two attendants were not stupid enough to think they could handle this themselves. Knowing it was beyond their capabilities, they quickly ran inside to report the matter.

After about a cup of tea, a well-dressed middle-aged butler finally came out the front door. He bowed to Ye Shan, apologizing constantly and putting himself in a very low position.

"Brother, I'm so sorry! This man is indeed our steward, but he usually goes out on errands and rarely returns home. This time, for some reason, he went to Baiyun Hall and caused trouble, even offending the county princess. It's a sin, a grave sin!"

"It's unfortunate today, our master is out and not at home. Well, brother, why don't you leave this person with me first We'll definitely punish them properly at our place and clean house. Afterwards, when our master returns, we'll apologize to the county princess!"

"There's no need to apologize. The princess is our elder, how could our young mistress accept" Ye Shan waved his hand and said coldly: "In the future, please discipline your servants well. Otherwise, if outsiders spread rumors that the princess's mansion bullies others and takes advantage of their power, it will be a loss."

The steward of the princess's mansion, his face stiff, forced a smile and continued to apologize.

Ye Shan drew out his dagger, cut the rope, and kicked Zhang Guan down the steps to the front porch with one foot.

At last, he performed two flourishes with his daggers, sneering, "Big Manager, take a look at this dagger of mine Don't let its shortness fool you, it's particularly sharp."

"When you encounter greedy fools, strike them with your hand and stomp on their feet, making sure to eliminate them cleanly and swiftly!"

The head steward gritted his teeth in anger, but his eyes also held a hint of fear. He stammered out praise: "Indeed, it's a fine blade!"

"Well then, I won't keep the head steward busy cleaning up. Farewell!" Ye Shan sheathed his dagger, tugged on his reins and rode through the crowd, returning to his stall.

The head steward of the Princess's manor glared at his departing figure, his temples throbbing with fury.

But upon glancing at the crowd, he shifted his expression and with a smile, circulated, bowing respectfully, then called for someone to carry in an official.

After the gate was closed, the steward strode toward the back garden.

Several servants were carrying a man, not knowing how to handle the situation. One of them loudly shouted: "Head steward, what should we do with Zhang Guan Should we find a doctor..."

"What kind of doctor are you looking for Such a fool shouldn't even be alive! Throw him on the ground and wait for the master to decide his fate!" The head steward didn't even turn around as he tossed out that sentence and marched through the second gate.

Several servants glanced at each other, knowing Zhang Guan was about to be unlucky.

Then they carried the man to the wall and quickly dispersed.

Without speaking of how the Princess Manor fared, let's just say Ye Shan left with a humanoid broom. Then Li Lao Tai said, "They say that when people are popular, there are many rumors. When business is good, there's no peace either!"

Jiao Yin hugged her grandmother's arm, not wanting her to be angry, and persuaded: "Grandma, this shop is a partnership between me and Huang Bo. Outsiders don't know and that's why they came to probe. Once they find out the truth, they'll probably be scared away!"
