Chapter 21: Delighted Misunderstanding

  Before others could respond, the curtain of the restaurant was lifted and the several Jin Yiwei guards who had just swaggered in stumbled out.

  After coming out, he ignored the large crowd of onlookers and knelt down in front of the Delicious Pavilion with a thud, shouting at the top of his lungs:

  "Master Wang, we were blinded and provoked by others to cause trouble in your store. You are a magnanimous person, please forgive us this once."

  The sudden scene stunned the onlookers, and it was quiet for half a day before someone shouted loudly:

  “

  "Just say this restaurant's food is reassuring, what rats, must be a villain's frame-up..."

  Listening to this voice, it sounds like the one shouting for justice.

  "Sun Dahai, you're actually a decent person. With several die-hard brothers like these, tell me, who exactly sent you?"

  Liu Xinyong

  "Next time you dare come back, it won't be just this wound on your neck, get out!"

  Having achieved the desired effect and obtained the expected answer, Wang Tong pushed Sun Dahuai forward with one foot and kicked him out.

  Although the short and stout Sun Dahai had a low center of gravity and was quite stable on his lower body, he was tripped up by this kick from behind. He stumbled forward, tripping over the threshold, wildly grabbing and tugging at things with both hands, and ended up pulling down the curtain, wrapping himself into a ball of fabric that rolled out onto the street.

  Several Jin Yiwei guards who came with him hastily stopped the ball and let Sun Dahai, who was in a sorry state, get up. His nose was blue and his face was swollen, not to mention that his neck was covered in blood.

  Dizzy and disoriented, Sun Dahai stumbled a few steps, but saw that the onlookers were all trying to stifle their laughter. He was already short and stout, and just now he had rolled around on the ground like a meatball, which was indeed laughable. Sun Dahai's face turned bright red with shame and anger, but suddenly he felt someone push him from behind, preventing him from retreating. Instantly furious, he swung his arm back to slap whoever it was, while shouting curses.

  "Good-for-nothing..."

  He had just started working when he heard several companions shouting in alarm. At this time, he also saw who was standing behind him and hastily stopped his hand.

  "What kind of thing are you, daring to scold our family!!"

  A dozen or so eunuchs in green robes were standing behind Sun Dahai, the eunuchs in green robes had no status in the palace, but similarly, Sun Dahai and his men were also the lowest level of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. They were all low-ranking officials, and external officials did not dare to offend internal officials, in case they offended the high-ranking eunuchs of various departments and offices in the Imperial City, and orders were passed outside the palace, that would be asking for trouble.

  Sun Dahai's face was flushed bright red as he stared at the young eunuch in front of him, whose face had turned pale and was glaring back at him. After holding it in for half a day, he finally managed to say a few soft words:

  "It's also unseen, offended several masters, much offense, much offense!"

  Sun Dahai glanced at the restaurant while thinking to himself: Once these useless eunuchs pass by, I'll go smash this restaurant. This time you won't sneak up on me.

  He thought these eunuchs were going to run errands, but unexpectedly the dozen or so people walked straight towards Mei Wei Guan. Wang Tong hurried out to greet them, his face full of smiles as he welcomed them:

  "Several uncles have arrived, please come quickly."

  Hurriedly lifting the other side of the cotton curtain, they invited them in. The shop assistants had already tidied up earlier and as soon as they saw the guests arrive, they quickly made arrangements.

  Sun Dahai and several others stared intently at the scene before them, but did not dare to make any further moves. This little Jin Yiwei and the eunuchs in the palace seemed so familiar with each other, could there be some connection? Behind him, a companion asked in a low voice:

  "Brother Sun, this little guy seems to have dealings with the eunuchs, what should we do?"

  Sun Dahai's neck was burning with pain, but he didn't care about it at all. After looking around for a while, he gritted his teeth and said:

  "Liu Xinyong that rascal didn't say this, he just wants us brothers to take a trip to muddy waters for that little bit of money, what a beautiful thought, we admit defeat, let's go!"

  As for the eunuchs' affairs, it's better to get involved as little as possible. This is the only way to survive and keep one's life in the capital. Sun Dahai also knew this in his heart and understood that he was being used as a tool by others this time.

  Just as he was about to leave, he heard someone calling out from behind him. It was Zhang Shijiang's voice. Sun Dahai turned his head back with a gloomy face, but saw Zhang Shijiang running over with seven embroidered spring knives in his arms, laughing and saying:

  "Wang Xiaoge said, there may be some misunderstanding between us, let's not say more today. Another day we'll all get together to drink and talk, please put away these knives, another day we'll have a chance to meet again."

  Embroidered Spring Knife is also a symbol of the identity of Jin Yiwei, losing it would be unacceptable no matter what. Now, seven people are really embarrassed and silently took back their knives.

  Up to now, Wang Tong has done a good job on his side, not pushing things to the extreme. He returned the embroidered spring knife and exchanged a few pleasantries, but if he wanted to continue making trouble, the other party's methods were ruthless, and they also had some connection with the imperial court, so it was really not worth offending them. Now, Sun Dahai and his companions looked at each other in embarrassment, unable to speak for half a moment. In the end, it was still Sun Dahai who sighed and said in a low voice:

  "I have wronged many people... One day I will make amends to these two brothers!!"

  After saying that, they still had the face to continue staying here, and several people left in a hurry.

  There were not a few pedestrians on the street, and there were also many people watching the excitement. From the beginning of the commotion to now, countless eyes have been staring at Sun Dahai and others, waiting for them to leave in disarray. As soon as they left, the street was filled with discussions.

  "This restaurant is incredibly delicious! Even the old men from the palace come here to eat..."

  "I said it tastes so good, isn't it a secret recipe from the imperial kitchen..."

  "...smells so good, what's the main dish today? Those few rascals are making a racket, can't even eat in peace..."

  "... Fried Chicken Cubes and Braised Pork..."

  Those unfavorable influences have all dissipated in the wake of these discussions, and customers are once again flocking to Meishuiguan.

  After what just happened, the flow of customers surged, and the enthusiasm for work among the staff seemed to burst out. Even Jin Yiwei came to extort and provoke, but was beaten back by the master. Our business is solid and secure, this job is stable and long-term, what's there to fear? Let's do a good job!

  Not only them, Zhang Shijiang had just sent off Sun Dahai and his party with a embroidered spring knife, although he was covered in cold sweat, but also felt that his waist was much harder, the usual awkward and wooden expression had become more relaxed, standing in front to greet and arrange, busy and happy.

  Wang Tong went back to the house, washed a cool towel with water, wiped off the blood on his face, and finally stopped the bleeding from his nose. His mouth and nose were still numb, so he covered them with a towel and came back to the store.

  A dozen eunuchs ate with relish, the fine clothes and food in the imperial city were not available to them, the things from the Mei Wei Guan were just right for them.

  When he saw Wang Tong coming in, Zhang Shijiang hurriedly came over to greet him. He had completely abandoned the age difference and regarded Wang Tong as his superior with all his heart.

  "Wang Xiaoge, shall we invite a doctor to take a look and apply some medicine?"

  Wang Tong shook his head and looked around at the packed store again. After a while, he spoke in a low and depressed tone:

  "If it wasn't for that Sun Dahai being caught off guard, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to beat him in a face-to-face fight... Zhang Gege, I want to find a master to learn boxing and footwork, a way to defend myself, can you help me ask around?"
