"good."

Inside the yamen in the capital, a constable was kneeling on the ground, trembling.
"Fool! Hurry up and kowtow to Young Master Cai to admit your mistake!" Prefect Cheng glared and kicked a constable.
He never expected that Cai Guozhang's only grandson would actually come to the capital. Even more unexpectedly, his clueless subordinate actually brought him to the yamen (government office)!
Everyone knows that Cai Fengyin, the grandson of Cai Guozhang, was a mischievous child. Even when he was still in the capital, he caused trouble for the people everywhere, stealing a steamed bun here and a purse there.
This little rascal wasn't as well-behaved as Lu Huai and Shu Zhan are now. It was only because Cai Guozhang held a high position and doted on him that he specially sent people to clean up his messes, preventing anyone from causing trouble for the higher-ups.
Later, they moved their entire family to Lingcheng, and everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But the people of Lingcheng had a hard time. With the emperor far away, Cai Fengyin was truly lawless.
But this blind man invited this Buddha statue into the government office; he's deliberately trying to harm him!
Cai Fengyin, with his legs crossed, held a teacup in his hand, fanning it with the lid, and casually brought it to his lips. Seeing that he seemed not to be listening to him at all, Prefect Cheng knew that this man was still angry.
Gritting his teeth, Prefect Cheng kicked a constable, yelling, "What are you standing there for? Can't you hear me?!"
Caught off guard, the constable was kicked to the ground and lay sprawled there, his buttocks throbbing with pain.
"Young Master Cai... I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. I beg you to forgive me, Young Master Cai." He kowtowed as he spoke haltingly.
Cai Fengyin finished his tea and then looked up at them. As if he had just noticed them, he raised his eyelids in surprise and said, "Oh, isn't this Lord Cheng? Reprimanding your subordinates?"
"Yes, yes, yes..." Prefect Cheng nodded and bowed, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Tsk." Cai Fengyin curled his lip and complained, "This tea doesn't taste very good. Lord Cheng, are you trying to fob me off with last year's stale tea?"
"this……"
Prefect Cheng wiped away his cold sweat; this little brat had actually figured it out.
It wasn't that the higher-ups didn't provide them with good tea, but the officials in this government office were all rough men who couldn't appreciate such expensive things; it would be a waste.
So, without consulting his wife, he brought the old tea from home to the government office, while taking the new, good tea back with him. His wife saw this a few days ago and praised him for his cleverness.
However, Cai Fengyin has been pampered since childhood, so his tongue is bound to be extremely discerning. Even if he were to drink it out, he wouldn't admit it. This kind of shady business is something that can't be brought up in public.
“This is indeed the new tea that was sent down from above, Young Master Cai. Are you not used to the Pu’er tea from the capital?” Prefect Cheng asked cautiously.
"Nonsense!" Cai Fengyin suddenly smashed his teacup on the ground and shouted at Prefect Cheng, "Although I have been staying in Lingcheng all these years, I have always drunk Pu'er tea from the capital. How dare you, a mere prefect, deceive me! Do you really think I have never had tea at my aunt's place?"
Prefect Cheng was shocked. This brat was the grandson of Cai Guozhang, so the aunt he mentioned must be... the Empress!
Having figured out the relationship, Prefect Cheng knelt down, trembling, and kowtowed several times, "Young Master, spare my life! Young Master, spare my life! This humble official knows his mistake!"
