Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

"This, there is such a thing?" Wang Zhuo was even more surprised after hearing it, and looked straight at Yan Nangui.

Yan Nangui was secretly complaining in his heart. It seemed that there was really going to be a big show in Prince An’s Mansion today.

"No one at the four gates of the capital city has found the butler's ultimatum to leave the capital today. I wonder where Prince An sent the butler to? The Dali Temple sent people here to investigate in advance today. Someone just saw the butler at the gate of the mansion.

Moreover, when Prince An returned home, it was the butler who led everyone to greet him. So, did Prince An send the butler to heaven?"

Yan Nangui's words left Li Junze speechless. No matter how he answered, it seemed inappropriate.

I had no choice but to say nothing and see how my grandfather would answer.

"Oh, Ze'er has been very obedient since he was a child and has never told any lies. I think there may be some misunderstanding. Lord Yan, why don't you give me some face and report to the Dali Temple as soon as the housekeeper returns to Beijing in a few days? What do you think?"

Wang Zhuo chose to believe Li Junze with his eyes closed, and even took advantage of his seniority and age to pressure Yan Nangui.

Unfortunately, Yan Nangui has never been someone who can be suppressed. He glanced at Deputy General Niu and said, "Have you seen enough? It's your turn."

Deputy General Niu immediately blinked his eyes in understanding, took two steps forward, and said, "Mr. Wang, I'm so sorry. The Dali Temple handles cases, but we can't give face to anyone. You don't know that the case involves several high-ranking nobles. If everyone gives face, our Dali Temple will be unable to do anything."

"Moreover, if we can't bring the butler back today, we won't be able to carry out the subsequent interrogation work. If this delays the deadline, will you explain to the emperor on our behalf?"

After Vice General Niu finished speaking, the faces of the people present all looked unhappy. Before Li Junze could speak, Yan Nangui's face had already turned cold and he scolded Vice General Niu,

"Deputy General Niu, what are you talking about? How can you talk to Master Wang like this? Even though Master Wang has resigned and returned home, he has devoted his entire life to the Great Chu."

"Yes, Lord Yan, I am outspoken, please don't blame me, Master Wang."

The two of them sang in unison, leaving Wang Zhuo and Li Junze speechless.

Wang Zhuo smiled, waved his hand, and said to Yan Nangui, "Deputy General Niu is right. After all, I have retired, so it is not convenient for me to interfere in the Dali Temple's case, Ze'er."

After he finished speaking, he sighed and turned to look at Li Junze.

"Send someone to find the butler, even if he has already left the capital."

After Wang Zhuo finished speaking, he gave Li Junze a look where Yan Nangui couldn't see. Li Junze immediately understood that he wanted to silence him.

Although he has not yet obtained any useful clues from the butler, given the current situation, the best outcome is to hand over a body to the Dali Temple.

"Yes, Grandfather, please wait for a moment, Lord Yan. I will send someone to find the housekeeper right away."

After he finished speaking, Wen Jiaxiang, at the instruction of Wang Zhuo, welcomed Yan Nangui and Deputy General Niu into the reception room.

At this time, Wang Zhuo sat in the main seat, warmly entertaining Yan Nangui and the others, and chatting with them in a very kind manner.

Yan Nangui was a little absent-minded. He didn't understand why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hadn't shown up yet. Now that Wang Zhuo was here, things were bound to not end well.

It seems that we are in a passive position at the moment.

"How is Mr. Yan doing recently? I heard that he is no longer in the capital?" Wang Zhuo asked about Yan Nangui's grandfather, Yan Beiwang, seemingly unintentionally.

"Yes, my grandfather couldn't stand some of the behaviors and practices in the capital, so he returned to his hometown to live out his life. Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your concern." After Yan Nangui finished speaking, he reached out to pick up the hot tea beside him, took a sip, but his eyes were looking at Deputy General Niu.

This time, Deputy General Niu did not see clearly what Boss Yan meant, but he could roughly guess in his heart that he wanted him to find a way to break the current situation, or see if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had any instructions.

So he whispered something in Yan Nangui's ear and walked out of the reception room in a nonchalant manner.

Yan Nangui said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, Master Wang, this Deputy General Niu can't hold it anymore and needs to go to the toilet."

Wang Zhuo smiled and said to Sun Xingzhi, "Xingzhi, take Deputy General Niu with you so that they won't get lost."

Sun Xingzhi agreed and followed Deputy General Niu out.

Wang Zhuo did not take Yan Nangui and Deputy General Niu's actions seriously at all.

Because he felt that no matter how brave the two of them were, they would not dare to cause trouble in Prince An's Mansion.

"If I am not mistaken, the person just now should be Sun Xingzhi, the third place in the imperial examination, right?" Yan Nangui asked in pretended surprise.

After Sun Xingzhi won the third place in the imperial examination, he had been in frequent contact with Wang Zhuo. Naturally, he knew all this a long time ago.

"Yes, he is a talented child. He has been accepted as my last disciple. He should be my last disciple."

Wang Zhuo smiled very proudly and praised Sun Xingzhi generously.

"Well, then Master Wang really shouldn't have let Lord Sun do such a thing. If it weren't for Master Wang's confirmation, Yan really wouldn't have dared to admit it."

Yan Nangui smiled, but his tone was still filled with surprise.

What he meant by saying this was that he felt that Wang Zhuo asking Sun Xingzhi to show Deputy General Niu the direction of the toilet was an insult to Sun Xingzhi's status as the third place in the imperial examination.

Just as Wang Zhuo was about to explain, he heard a commotion outside. Someone actually dared to cause trouble in Prince An's Mansion.

Wang Zhuo and Yan Nangui stood up at the same time, but Yan Nangui was young after all, so he moved several steps faster than Wang Zhuo and had already walked out of the reception room and came to the yard outside.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Yan Nangui hurriedly grabbed a guard he brought with him and asked anxiously.

He had no idea what Deputy General Niu was going to do.

"Replying to Lord Yan, Lieutenant General Niu had a fight with someone. I heard that he beat up Tanhua Sun." The guard also answered breathlessly. He had just run back from the riot to report the news.

Yan Nangui immediately turned around and looked at Wang Zhuo. Both of them had expressions of disbelief in their eyes, and they quickly quickened their pace to rush over there.

At the same time, Li Junze was furious in the conference room. He swept all the items on the table in front of him to the ground, and they rolled everywhere.
