"How outrageous! How outrageous! You are so bold that you don't even obey the master's orders! Damn it!" The middle-aged man became angrier and angrier, and he couldn't keep the tea sets on the table. He threw them left and right, and soon they were all destroyed.
The young steward grimaced in pain, wanting to persuade but not daring to. After all, he didn't hear what the master said to the Tai family in the room!
But he kept quiet. He couldn't handle it downstairs. It was so late at night that he didn't sleep and kept pacing upstairs, and now he started throwing things around. He really treated the inn like his own home!
So, the guest downstairs found the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper hurried over to find out what was going on.
There was a knock on the door. The young steward went to open it in confusion, but felt a little embarrassed when he saw it was the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper originally wanted to say a few polite words, after all, when doing business, harmony is the most important thing.
But when he saw the broken porcelain pieces all over the floor, his expression changed.
"Sir, if you are dissatisfied with our inn, please feel free to tell us. If you are really unhappy, you can always go to another inn. Why are you smashing things and cursing at people? What's your reason?"
The middle-aged man was so angry at the Tai family that he had no place to vent his anger. He didn't expect to be yelled at by the owner while staying in an inn. He couldn't stand it anymore and grabbed the last tea bowl and smashed it.
"You insolent slave boy, I'm giving you face, right? Get out! If you dare to say another word, I'll kill your whole family!"
The shopkeeper saw the tea bowl flying towards him and dodged it with a tilt of his head, but he was also scared and broke out in a cold sweat. In all his years in business, this was the first time he had seen someone hit someone just because of a disagreement!
When he came to his senses, he was also angry and wanted to chase the person away!
Fortunately, the steward, despite the pain, fell forward, raised his hand and stuffed a piece of silver into the man's pocket, then whispered, "Boss, our master is from Kyoto! Less trouble is worse than more. Go and rest, I'll take care of it! Don't let your mind wander and bring trouble to your family!"
The shopkeeper subconsciously glanced at the furious middle-aged man. His face was filled with contempt and viciousness. He shuddered. It was indeed the way those nobles looked at the common people...
"Okay, okay, take your time to persuade her!"
The shopkeeper quickly closed the door, took the silver in his hand and hurried downstairs!
No matter how noisy the guests downstairs are, it is still easy to appease them. But if the person upstairs is really an important person, he will be in trouble!
Sure enough, the guests downstairs calmed down after their room rates were waived in half. And the upstairs guests stopped smashing teacups...
The young steward was so exhausted from talking that the bloody wound at the corner of his mouth opened again, but he didn't dare to stop.
"Master, I don't know what task the old master gave you, but it's obvious that this matter is not due to your lack of dedication. It's really because the Tai family is so bold that they even dare to hit the old master! Go back and tell the old master, and the old master will definitely not blame you. After all, the old master knows your temper very well, and no matter what, he can't say that you are not dedicated!"
The middle-aged man lost his temper, but was comforted by these words. His anger subsided a lot, and he couldn't help complaining, "Old Master is too much. He left the eldest brother and the others who usually do the work and instead made me come to this godforsaken place! If I had the time, wouldn't it be better to have a drink and listen to some music?"
The manager had a smile on his face, but he was actually complaining madly in his heart.
He also couldn't figure out why the old man left the smart first and second masters at home alone and insisted on sending the incompetent third master to Tai'an, making everything so mysterious. Now his job was ruined!
If the old man in Kyoto heard this, he would probably be furious.
When his eldest brother passed away, he was afraid of being implicated and did not dare to be in front of him. Therefore, he had no way to verify the treasure that he had vaguely known about before.
Over the years, no matter how the people he arranged investigated and forced, they could not find any clues from the Tai family.
He once suspected that he had made a mistake. His elder brother did not have any hidden tricks at all, and did not entrust them to outsiders!
But he was unwilling to give up!
Seeing that the emperor was old and incompetent, and about to fail, several princes were eager to make a move. He had to hurry up and find a way out. Not only would he ensure his family continued to enjoy wealth and prosperity, but if he chose the right side and was able to succeed the emperor, he wouldn't have to worry about the next few decades.
But people in the world will not do anything without profit. If you want to take sides, you must first show your loyalty.
That's why he was anxious to find out whether the treasure was real and whether he could get it as soon as possible!
The eldest and second oldest sons in the family are both very smart, but the third oldest son is a coward. Send him to the Tai family to scare them a few times and trick them. Maybe he can get accurate information from the Tai family!
He never thought that the Tai family would not be persuaded by any persuasion!
Not to mention how worried everyone was at the inn, hoping that the middle-aged man and his servant would leave as soon as possible, everyone at the palace was also unhappy.
They had come all the way from Kyoto to here just to meet with the Khan of the grassland, but now the Khan of the grassland just sent them away with a single sentence saying that the snow was too heavy to travel. It was really powerless.
The Khan of the grassland treats the emperor and his ministers of the Great Wei like dogs, calling them when they please and sending them away when they please!
Feeling offended, the Wei emperor and his ministers gathered together and began to criticize the grassland Khan for his rudeness.
Some people suggested sending a letter to rebuke him, while others suggested killing the grassland warrior who delivered the letter and sending his head!
Some people even suggested that the border defense army send out 10,000 troops to go around the grassland and wipe out dozens of tribes to show off their power!
But when it comes to mobilizing troops, the generals guarding the border cannot be involved. So the emperor ordered a eunuch to summon Zhao Anbang.
As a result, the battle report from the border was delivered first!
The Rakshasa are making unusual moves, with small groups of troops constantly harassing the border, their intentions unclear.
