Chapter 307: Coercion and Inducement

"Now that Huibinlou is in this state, I guess we can't let you guys eat normally. But if you don't mind, the kitchen can still cook normally, and you can have a few dishes. Today, all the food and drinks at Huibinlou are free. This is Huibinlou's way of making amends to you, and also a way of thanking you for your help."

"If you don't want to make do at this moment, you can go to our counter to register and get your card. When you have some free time another day, you can come to our hotel for a good meal. We welcome you at any time!"

The work at the Huibin Building was done in a grand and elegant manner, and everyone present applauded.

It was dinner time, and everyone was hungry. Besides, they had come here for the cooking skills, so it would be a pity to leave now. Most people decided to stay and have a simple meal.

If there weren't enough tables and chairs, everyone would squeeze together.

Seeing this, the guests in the private room upstairs invited a few to go up and eat together.

I was waiting for the food to be served, and when I saw the waiters were too busy cleaning up the broken plates and bowls, I simply lent a hand to help...

Seeing these scenes makes one’s heart warm.

Wu Jiantong felt a little sad, and he just told Zeng Dayong and other people in the kitchen to bring out all their specialties and entertain the guests from all over the world.

Zeng Dayong and others were also full of energy and worked harder than usual.

Dishes of delicious food with good color, aroma and taste were continuously sent out from the kitchen and served on the table one after another. The guests felt closer to each other because of what had just happened. While eating, they praised the taste of the dishes and chatted about all sorts of things.

The Huibin Building was a bit more lively at this time than usual.

Here, everyone arrived at the county government office.

The first thing to do when arriving at the county government office is to be beaten with a stick.

The yamen runners were quick and skillful. They worked in groups of three. Two of them pressed the person down on a bench, while one of them swung a board and beat him with all his might.

Almost in an instant, the crackling sounds and the crying and shouting of parents filled the entire county government office. Even the people who walked by the gate of the county government office or lived nearby could not help but cover their ears with their hands.

After the beating, the servants were thrown aside to be guarded, and only the three leaders, Butler Zhang, Hu Xingxian and Hu Xingyi, were taken to the lobby for questioning.

"mighty……"

Accompanied by the shouts of the yamen runners on both sides, the feeling of oppression in the county government hall became stronger and stronger. Hu Xingxian and Hu Xingyi had already knelt on the ground.

Their buttocks had already been spread open and the two men wanted to lie on the ground, but when they saw the extremely majestic Ye Yongwang, they retracted the thought and knelt down, enduring the pain.

Butler Zhang was no longer so obedient at this time. Instead, he became even more angry because of the beating. He stood in the hall and looked at Ye Yongwang fiercely, "I am the butler of the second branch of the Wu family of the Wu family. You are just a Qinghe County Magistrate, how dare you torture me?"

"How dare you!" Ye Yong glanced at Butler Zhang. "Mr. Wu is an important official in the court, loyal to the country. How could your family destroy a legitimate restaurant just because of a disagreement? You must be lying!"

"When you get to the county government, you still tell lies one after another, trying to curry favor with the court officials and showing contempt for the court. Come over there, and give me another thirty lashes!"

Upon hearing this, the yamen runners immediately brought a bench and a board, and started to beat Steward Zhang with the board.

Butler Zhang was so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. "I am really the butler of the second branch of the Wu family. The Hu brothers and the servants in their family can all testify to this!"

"Is he really the housekeeper of the second branch of the Wu family?" Ye Yongwang narrowed his eyes.

"Guaranteed genuine!" Butler Zhang nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Then this matter is interesting." Ye Yongwang said dimly, "Wu Gelao has always emphasized loyalty to the country, and he also emphasizes that officials must be fair and honest. The Wu family has always been good at governing, so how could there be a butler like you who smashed other people's restaurants?"

"Oh..." Ye Yongwang dragged out the last syllable, as if he had suddenly realized something. "I understand. This is probably what Lord Wu meant. It is really puzzling that a dignified Lord like him would go against a restaurant in Qinghe County. This is really too much. I'd better write a memorial to explain the situation."

Seeing Ye Yongwang say this, Steward Zhang sneered, "Just you? A seventh-rank county magistrate? I'm afraid this memorial will never reach the emperor!"

Memorials have always been submitted one level at a time, especially those from local officials like Ye Yongwang, which have to go through layers of review. With the power of the Wu family, they can easily intercept them in the middle of the process, and the contents of the memorials will never be known to the emperor.

"That's right." Ye Yongwang nodded nonchalantly. "If it were normal, it would be true. However, I have a close relationship with Lord He. I will write a letter to Lord He to make it clear. Lord He is always fair and strict, and he will definitely not sit idly by."

Butler Zhang’s face suddenly turned pale.

The relationship between the He family and the Wu family is as hostile as fire and water.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Especially since the Wu family is fully assisting the Crown Prince Qin Peiyuan, the He family regards the Wu family as a thorn in their side and can't wait to find all kinds of handles to target the Wu family. If He Yanxiu knew about this incident, he would definitely inform the censors and impeach the Wu family.

He originally wanted to find a way to make money for the Wu family, but ended up bringing trouble to the Wu family. If the eldest master knew about this, I'm afraid he would not tolerate him.

Butler Zhang shuddered, then immediately smiled, "Master Ye, may I have a word with you?"

"I am an upright person and never try to avoid people when speaking. If you have something to say, just say it directly. There is no need to hide anything." Ye Yongwang said.

How can you say such things directly? As expected, those who are on good terms with the He family are all stones in the toilet, smelly and hard!

Steward Zhang gritted his teeth for a moment, but still kept a smile on his face, "Master Ye, this is just a small matter. There is no need to make it known to everyone. Besides, this is in Qinghe, Master Ye's territory. Many things still depend on you."

Seeing that Ye Yongwang showed no impatience, Butler Zhang continued, "The Hu brothers are the owners of Juweizhai in the capital, and Chef Zheng Mingyuan has received favors from the Hu family. Now the Hu family wants to find Zheng Mingyuan to work at Juweizhai, but Huibinlou and Miss Su are blocking them. In my opinion, this is really inappropriate. Lord Ye has to mediate so that Zheng Mingyuan can return to Juweizhai and calm the dispute between Huibinlou and Miss Su."

"Of course, this matter will not make Lord Ye busy in vain. The necessary things will not be missing. Moreover, the Wu family is a big family in the capital, and Elder Wu is an important official in the court. Even my eldest son works in the Ministry of Personnel. If Lord Ye handles this matter well, he will be promoted smoothly in the future."

"Of course. If Lord Ye doesn't know what's good for him and insists on doing it his own way, given the current situation of the Wu family, I'm afraid the He family won't be able to embarrass Lord Ye."

"Oh?" Ye Yongwang narrowed his eyes, "It sounds very interesting."
