Chapter 39: Happy (Part 2)



Captain Liu ignored him and looked at the stir-fried radish and meat in the large basin in front of the cook, but he couldn't see even a piece of meat or a drop of oil.

He was so angry that he snatched the spoon from the cook's hand and shoveled the food in the basin hard, only to see a few thumb-sized pieces of meat: "Is this the food that the Jinyiwei eat?"

The cook's eyes flashed with guilt: "To reply to your Excellency, yes."

Captain Liu threw the shovel in anger and said, "I remember that the silver allocated to the canteen every month is no less than 50,000 taels, which is enough to ensure that everyone can eat two pieces of meat and one vegetable. Now look at what vegetables you are eating?"

Although he knew that his Jinyiwei did not eat well, he still felt indescribably angry when he saw it with his own eyes.

The five cooks were so scared that they immediately knelt on the ground.

Captain Liu knew that they were not in charge, so he asked, "Where is the chef? Where is he?"

"Back, backyard."

"Go and send him to me."

“Yes, yes.”

One of the cooks hurriedly got up and ran to the backyard.

Soon, the chef hurried to the cafeteria and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Captain Liu: "Master Liu."

Captain Liu pointed at the vegetables and asked, "Tell me what happened?"

The chef smiled and looked at the people around him, then lowered his voice and said, "Master Liu, aren't you asking this even though you already know the answer?"

Everyone in the entire Duwei Mansion knew that he had embezzled the money from the canteen, and that this money was given to the person behind him, the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei, a second-rank official, several ranks higher than Kan Chaoyan and others.

Captain Liu felt a lump in his chest, but before he came here, Kan Chaoyan had already said that he would handle it, so there was no need for him to worry about it.

"I don't know what you mean. I only know that if you can't feed the Jinyiwei, you can't continue working here. You have only half a month to return all the silver you embezzled, otherwise you will be beheaded."

The chef's face turned pale. "Master Liu, I was recruited by the deputy commander. You have no right to chase me away. If the deputy commander finds out about this after he returns, you will definitely be in trouble. If you know what's good for you, you should stop interfering."

The more he said this, the more Liu Baihu wanted to do it. He ordered the Jinyiwei: "Throw him out of the Duwei Mansion."

The Jinyiwei didn't dare to move.

The Jinyiwei looked at each other, but no one dared to go up, for fear of offending the commander-in-chief.

Seeing that the Jinyiwei dared not touch him, the chef could not help but feel proud: "The person behind me is the commander-in-chief, they dare not touch me."

Then, his collar was lifted up.

Everyone was stunned to see Mu Nanjin dragging the chef out of the cafeteria with an expressionless face.

The chef was furious and asked, "What are you doing, you little bitch?"

Mu Nanjin didn't waste time talking to him. He waited until they got to the gate and threw the man onto the street.

[How great! I won't have to eat pig food tomorrow.]

Captain Liu came up from behind her and asked, "Aren't you afraid of offending the commander-in-chief?"

Mu Nanjin was certainly not afraid: "Are you afraid?"

If it weren't for Kan Chaoyan's support behind him, how could Captain Liu, a sixth-rank official, dare to provoke a second-rank official?

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Mu Nanjin said, "If you are afraid, we can go to the emperor and report to the commander-in-chief first."

[Just because he gave the embezzled silver to the four princes who rebelled, it was enough to exterminate all his clans.]

"What!?"

Captain Liu couldn't help but raise his voice. The commander-in-chief actually colluded with the four princes? And they, the Jinyiwei, were completely unaware of it. This was too scary.

Captain Liu looked around hurriedly, and after confirming that the people guarding the gate were only ninth-rank Jinyiwei, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry about this matter, I have other things for you to do. Wait here for a cup of tea, I'll be back soon."

After saying this, he hurried back to the Zuoyuan and told Kan Chaoyan about the collusion between the Commander-in-Chief and the Four Princes.

After listening to this, Kan Chaoyan hurriedly took Captain Liu and Mu Nanjin into the palace.
