"That's stinky grass carp. It's pickled using the same method as stinky mandarin fish, giving it a unique flavor!"
Wang Dasheng knew that his explanation seemed somewhat weak and unconvincing.
But what if they actually believe it?
Ye Mu remained calm.
"Since that's the case, then you may eat it. If you can make a face that shows you enjoy it, then I will tentatively believe that this dish was not made from rotten ingredients."
"Someone, let him eat the fish."
Wang Dasheng panicked.
We're doomed.
The moment that fish is eaten, the deception will be exposed.
He has very discerning tastes.
Even the slightest fishy or foul smell.
He could eat until he felt nauseous.
How can I escape?
Wang Dasheng came up with an idea.
He said immediately.
"Your Highness, it's not that I don't want to eat it, but I'm allergic to fish. If I eat it, I'll get small red spots all over my body, and in severe cases, it could even be fatal!"
"I believe Your Highness would not treat human life so lightly!"
Ye Mu nodded.
"Yes, Your Highness will not force anyone to do anything against their will!"
Wang Dasheng breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems I don't need to eat this stinky grass carp myself.
Then let the chef eat.
Since you made it yourself, you're responsible for eating it.
However.
Ye Mu, however, said...
"This time, Your Highness has brought the best imperial physicians from the palace with you to Xinyan City."
"And coincidentally, this imperial physician specializes in treating fish allergies!"
"Imperial Physician Chang!"
"Your subject is here!"
Physician Chang quickly stepped forward.
"You wait here until Wang Dasheng eats the grass carp and small red spots appear on his body, then you should treat him immediately!"
"yes!"
Physician Chang then waited on the side.
Wang Dasheng was dumbfounded.
Ye Mu then spoke to Wang Dasheng.
"Don't worry, no matter how severe your allergic reaction is, Physician Chang can pull you back from the brink of death!"
"Furthermore, I will cover all your nutritional expenses and other costs later on, ensuring you won't spend a single penny!"
"At the same time, His Highness will apologize to you for wrongly accusing you today!"
"And I'll be stationed at your restaurant for a month!"
"I guarantee your restaurant business will thrive!"
That sounds like a very tempting ending.
But the premise is that Wang Dasheng is truly innocent.
But he knew all too well that he was not wronged at all.
He's determined to eat this fish today!
"What? Wang Dasheng, what are you still hesitating about?!"
"Are you afraid to eat it?! Or do you not trust the imperial physician I brought?"
Wang Dasheng immediately fell silent.
Ye Mu slammed the gavel down.
"Someone come here! Give him some fish!"
"yes!"
The constables quickly subdued Wang Dasheng.
He immediately picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and stuffed it into Wang Dasheng's mouth.
It's very spicy when you first taste it.
At first, you can't taste anything.
But once you start chewing, that foul smell immediately fills your mouth.
Wang Dasheng was so disgusted that he vomited!
To prevent him from doing this.
The constables had already prepared a wooden bucket and placed it in front of Wang Dasheng.
"Ugh! How disgusting!"
The onlookers pinched their noses.
"Looks like this fish really is made from rotten fish!"
"Judging from the way Wang Dasheng looks so uncomfortable while eating, that must be it!"
"I knew it! The story about the customer who found a rotten pork knuckle at Mingyue Restaurant was definitely true! He managed to escape that time by sheer luck!"
"This time, we have evidence; he can't escape!"
"Excellent! The evidence is conclusive. Now it's up to Your Highness to investigate this case!"
Ye Mu questioned.
"Wang Dasheng, are you going to confess the truth now!"
Wang Dasheng had completely given up at this point.
He said, head bowed in frustration.
"Your Highness, I admit it! That rotten fish and meat was originally intended for our customers!"
"To mask the foul smell, they used spicy ingredients like chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns!"
Ye Mu questioned.
"How long have you been doing this?"
"This, I don't remember, it's been a long time!"
"So, is it true that the customer ate a rotten pork knuckle that time?"
"yes!"
Wang Dasheng no longer dared to lie.
Ye Mu had no idea what other tricks he might have up his sleeve.
Let's just treat them properly.
"So, was it you who instructed Da Shun to steal the crayfish seasoning recipe from Qinmian Restaurant?"
"Yes, it was my doing. I saw that the business of Qinmian Restaurant was booming, so I thought of stealing the seasoning recipe."
Da Shun breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally, I don't have to take the blame anymore!"
Ye Mu stared coldly at Da Shun.
"You won't escape punishment either. Although you were instructed to do it, you did steal the formula!"
Da Shun immediately lowered his head in annoyance.
Ye Mu turned to the cook.
"You knew perfectly well that it was rotten fish, so why did you still cook it for the customers?"
The cook said, head bowed.
"I...I was just momentarily blinded by greed! I didn't mean to expose them!"
Ye Mu: "That's incredibly audacious!"
"Do you know that customers could very well get food poisoning and even die from it!"
