Chapter 446 Delivered to the Door
Chapter 446 Delivered to the Door
I was not in a good mood to begin with, and someone came to my doorstep to be beaten. It would be unreasonable not to beat him up. ——Inscription
Some of the snacks and pastries are obviously no different from those sold in the shops in Danqiu Country.
The third floor looked like a private room, with servants standing outside waiting for orders.
When Fan Nuoxi and his group were looking at each other, a servant came over with a considerate smile.
"Is this your first time at Fuyuezhai? What would you like to eat? We have..."
Before the servant could finish, Fan Nuoxi took out the token and said calmly, "Call the person in charge here."
When the servant saw the token, his expression became visibly more respectful. "It's a bit noisy here. Please follow me first."
"Let's go."
So, the servant led Fan Nuoxi and his party to a private room in the second entrance with excellent soundproofing.
The servant said respectfully, "Please wait a moment, the steward will be here soon."
"Go."
After the servant went out, he quickly contacted other servants to find the steward, while he went to prepare some pastries to entertain Fan Nuoxi and his group.
Elegant room.
Ruochen looked around and said, "The layout here is much more magnificent than that of Fuyuezhai in Danqiu Country."
"Indeed," Fan Nuoxi nodded slightly, "but I always feel like something is wrong."
Bai Zhou guessed, "Is it because he didn't tell you?"
"It's not because of this." Fan Nuoxi sighed, "Once the butler comes, maybe we'll know."
After a while, the servant came with cakes.
After putting the cakes away, he still said respectfully, "Dear guests, the steward is still busy with something, please wait a moment."
After paying his respects, the servant left.
"Is the manager of Fuyuezhai so busy? Could he be deliberately delaying meeting us?" Bai Zhou said a little irritably.
When I followed Fan Nuoxi to the shop in Danqiu Kingdom before, I was never treated so coldly.
Fan Nuoxi smiled and picked up a piece of cake, crushing it easily, "No hurry, when we meet, I will let him know what kind of person he is."
"Pah, pah, pah - this pastry is too disgusting!" Ruochen picked up a piece of pastry, tasted it, and said with disgust.
Fan Nuoxi took out the cakes she made from her spirit ring and placed them in front of Ruochen. "Here, I just happen to have some uneaten cakes here. Here they are."
After Ruochen got it, he was immediately happy, "Xixi's craftsmanship is still good!"
After waiting for a while, a pot-bellied man came humming a little tune.
He looked around and saw that they were dressed in ordinary clothes and barely looked good. He said with some contempt, "You just want to see my distinguished guest?"
Fan Nuoxi asked back, "Are you the manager of Fuyuezhai?"
Chief Steward Wu said arrogantly, "Yes, I am Chief Steward Wu appointed by the Emperor himself. What do you guys want?"
"Kneel down!" Fan Nuoxi flicked his finger at Manager Wu's knee, and Manager Wu immediately knelt down.
After kneeling down, Manager Wu couldn’t get up immediately.
When had Chief Steward Wu ever been wronged like this? He immediately became angry and said, "How dare you! You already know who I am, and you still dare to treat me like this? Believe it or not, I will report you to the Emperor and have you kicked out!"
"Then look at what this is?" Fan Nuoxi sneered and took out the white jade token.
When Wu Zongguan saw the words on the token, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat, "I didn't know that you have come from so far away, I hope you can spare my life..."
Seeing the token is like seeing the Emperor. Oh no, oh no, I'm in big trouble!
I heard that the other token is in the hands of the future Empress, so isn’t the person in front of me the one?
But didn't that lady always make a big fuss when she came to him?
A thousand thoughts flashed through Manager Wu's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
Fan Nuoxi took a sip of tea and said, "You don't look like a fool. How can you be so careless and neglect others? Did you get the title of chief steward through some improper relationship?"
Upon hearing this, Manager Wu's face suddenly turned pale, and he kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "I know I was wrong. I wonder what advice you have for me today..."
Fan Nuoxi said directly, "I want the account books of Fuyuezhai since its opening."
After saying this, he loosened his grip on Manager Wu.
Now Manager Wu didn't dare to look down on them anymore. He quickly took out the account book from his spirit ring and handed it to Fan Nuoxi.
Fan Nuoxi took out the account book of the past few months and took a quick look at it, feeling furious.
Good, good, someone actually took her money in her name, he really doesn’t know how to live or die!
It's fine if he's thinking about her man, but he's also thinking about her money!
Damn it!
Manager Wu looked at Fan Nuoxi's gloomy face and began to back out.
It’s over, it’s over. Is he going to lose his life here today?
"Manager Wu, can you explain to me what's going on with these accounts? Why has Fu Yue Zhai been losing money in recent months?" Fan Nuoxi threw the account book at Manager Wu.
"What a small injustice!"
Manager Wu immediately knelt down with the account book in his hand.
"Your Highness has been in charge of Fuyuezhai's finances for the past few months, and I dare not complain!"
Fan Nuoxi threw the plate of pastries that Ruochen disliked at Manager Wu, "So this is why the pastries are so unpalatable?"
This move made Bai Zhou and the others a little scared, and they felt very uncomfortable sitting there.
Why is she so angry today?
"It was the Queen who asked us to save money. If we don't, she will deduct more of our wages..." Manager Wu said, shirking the responsibility.
"Ha!" Fan Nuoxi sneered as if he had heard something funny, "Do you dare to say that you didn't pocket the money?"
"Little one..." Manager Wu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Fan Nuoxi flicked her sleeves, and her true face was quickly revealed, and even the clothes on her body turned into beautiful silk clothes, "Open your dog eyes and look at who I am!"
"Mother...Mother!" Butler Wu said tremblingly.
The person in front of him was so powerful, much more powerful than the lady he had seen before...
Could it be that he has received...
At this time, Dongfang Junyan suddenly appeared.
"Nuoxi, you really made it hard for me to find you. Why are you here?"
Seeing Fan Nuoxi looking like he was being tried in court, he felt a little scared.
Fan Nuoxi said meaningfully, "You personally appointed Wu the chief steward. He is really capable!"
When Manager Wu heard Dongfang Junyan's voice, he lowered his head even lower.
It’s over, it’s over, the Emperor actually came in person!
Wait, the Emperor's name is...
So...the one in the palace is fake!!!
Manager Wu tried to faint, but found that he couldn't faint at all.
He could feel the pressure coming from all directions, all directed at him.
"Manager Wu? I've never heard of him. I'm afraid it's another blind person who pretends to obey but actually disobeys..." Dongfang Junyan glanced at the person on the ground and said coldly.
Fan Nuoxi rolled up the account book and knocked it at Dongfang Junyan, "Look at your beautiful fiancée. She has cost me a lot of money in the past few months!"
"She is really brave!" Dongfang Junyan immediately understood why Fan Nuoxi looked so angry.
Fan Nuoxi smiled, then twisted Dongfang Junyan's ear vigorously, "So, Lord Emperor, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
"Give me three days, and I will make her give up everything she stole in the past few months! No, I will make her pay it back a hundredfold!" Dongfang Junyan rubbed his ears in pain and promised.
Fan Nuoxi glanced at Manager Wu coldly, "You'd better keep your word!"
"Please take care of the remaining matters. I will be leaving first!"
After putting down the account book, Fan Nuoxi left.
Before Ruochen left, he patted Dongfang Junyan's shoulder earnestly and said, "Xixi is very angry this time, you better take care of yourself!"
Dongfang Junyan felt angry and aggrieved.
"Come here, take him away for strict interrogation. As for Fu Yue Zhai, temporarily close it for rectification."
"Yes!"
At a command, several shadow guards came out and dragged away the weakling on the ground.
Dongfang Junyan put away the account book and left.
There are many industries in this city. It seems that it is time to investigate them all, especially Nuoxi's industries.
You dare to challenge Tai Sui? You must be tired of living!
Two days later, many shops of all sizes in the city were searched by well-trained soldiers, and many people were thrown into jail.
For a moment, the people in the city were terrified.
Lord Emperor's iron-blooded wrist is no joke!
The entire palace was also undergoing a major purge during these two days.
Anyone who got close to the impostor was executed.
