Tough Wife Rules - C230

The janissary leader said coldly, “It’s not too late for you to find out that this scoundrel has offended the young general in public. He’s extremely rude, disrespectful, and even makes a move. It must be known that the young general is now a third rank general of the imperial court and the supreme ruler of a Count.

Cold sweat kept seeping from his forehead as he knelt on the ground. It was the same for the leader as well. He lowered his head and knelt on the ground.

“Yes, Young Master, please instruct them. Everyone, arrest them.”

At this moment, the happiest person was the son of the Prefecture Overseer. That unfortunate fellow had already fainted long ago. It was unknown whether he was scared by Helian Manqiu’s identity or beaten up by that fierce man.

The head that had come over was right in front of Helian Manqiu. Her face was like a dye-shop, a dark purple and dark red mixed together. Even Manqiu could not see her lying on the ground in this yamen, the playboy who had acted like a dog just now.

Sure enough, he had fought to the point where even his mother wouldn’t be able to recognize him.

“Uncle, are you satisfied?”

The sturdy man asked with a smile. He seemed to be standing respectfully not far away from Helian Manqiu. He did not approach her, and in reality, the personal guards of Helian Manqiu also did not allow him to get too close.

“Beautiful.”

Seeing that the yamen runners were still panting, Helian Man smiled and nodded her head. She was indeed a talented person. She cast a sidelong glance at the man, causing everyone to stand up.

The patrolling high-ranking officer hastily bowed and asked, “Uncle, please instruct me, how should I deal with this person?”

“For those who commit crimes, if you dare to speak rudely and in broad daylight, you will be treated with extreme rudeness and disrespect. If a commoner dares to treat court officials and nobles in such a manner, I will not say much about your crimes. If you have any grievances or grievances, please go to the general’s manor and hand over the written paper. The Lord will definitely uphold justice for your fellow villagers and will not allow this evil thief to go easy on you! ”

Everyone cheered. Normally, no one hated this little overlord, and no one wanted to punish him.

Unfortunately, the father of the yamen runner was a Prefecture Overseer of Shengjing Prefecture, and the emperor had personally appointed him to this place. It was rare for him to stay there for a long time, so he allowed this person to do something that would bring about his own destruction.

“Big brother, collect all the evidence of him breaking the law and monitor his family closely. This matter will be decided by Big Brother Lao sending someone to report to the Lord. ”

“Alright.”

Xue Jian gave a few instructions, and the men led by Xue Jian quickly left, each of them going to handle their own matters.

After being escorted away from the yamen, Helian Manqiu turned her head to look at the man who had just attacked her. The man bowed and smiled, “I have heard of Uncle’s reputation for a long time. I wonder if I can have a drink with you?”

Vaguely, the person revealed something from his sleeve, but immediately retracted it.

Helian Manqiu saw a yellow medallion glowing with golden light. A person who could use such a medallion came from the imperial palace. It was obvious that this man was either the Emperor or the Crown Prince.

“I was just about to thank you for your help. This is it, please.”

The man bowed. “Please, Uncle.”

“There’s no need to be so formal, I’ve always been someone who doesn’t care about etiquette. Brother, please.”

Helian Manqiu extended her hand to signal for the man to walk shoulder to shoulder with her. The man fell back a step behind Helian Manqiu and entered a nearby restaurant. He then ordered a private room.

The man paid his respects to Helian Manqiu once again. “I pay my respects to the Senior. I wonder if it’s convenient for me to speak now?”

Bloodsword narrowed his eyes lazily and leaned against the door of the private room. There were guards outside who were still very cautious. Their gazes swept across Bloodsword’s face.

Although the blood sword was one of the four great hidden guards, they rarely revealed their true colors as they walked in front of everyone with mysterious movements. There weren’t many people who recognized the blood sword. Today, when he came out, the blood sword had disguised itself as a personal soldier of Helian Manqiu. Thus, this person from the capital did not recognize who the blood sword was.

“No worries, these people are all my trusted aides. If you have something to say, just say it.”

“This official, He Yutang, pays respect to this uncle. Now that he has overstepped his boundaries, please forgive me.”

Upon hearing this name, a deep chill flashed across Blood Sword’s eyes as he remained leaning against the door.

He Yutang, the imperial palace’s imperial guard, second class guard. He was a highly skilled and astute individual and did not wish to be sent here today. If it were not for the emperor personally sending him, only the empress and the crown prince would have the authority to send him all the way to the north.

The Bloodsword turned around and walked out of the private room. He leaned against the door of the private room and thought deeply. He did not want to stay in the private room to prevent He Yutang from being suspicious or letting him see anything.

“Big brother, how did you get out? Why didn’t you introduce him to me?”

“Young General, Sir He is a second rank imperial guard, a fourth rank imperial bodyguard. His martial arts are powerful and he’s good at adapting. He’s a famous inner court expert.”

He Yutang glanced at the door of the private room. With the door blocking his view, he could not see the blood sword. Hearing Xue Jian’s words, he smiled and said, “I didn’t expect that even among Young Master’s personal soldiers, there would be some who would know the name of this official. This Young Master truly has many talents under him, and this one is truly impressed.”

“You flatter me, Guard He.”

“I wonder who this person is …”

Looking at the door of the private room, He Yutang muttered to himself. The other party had revealed his identity with a single sentence. He was clearly aware of his situation. However, he had no idea who the other party was.

Before coming to the northern border, he had been familiarizing himself with the situation there for several days, especially with Helian Qingyu’s situation and the people around Helian Qingyu. He knew every general, including the important people within the garrison, as well as the commanders of the personal guards.

Hearing Helian Manqiu address Big Brother Bloodsword, he thought that this janissary must be the commander of the janissaries by Helian Manqiu’s side.

However, the personal guard commander he knew was Di Qingfeng. Di Qingfeng was now promoted to an official general in the imperial court. Therefore, in He Yutang’s memory, he could not find anyone suitable for the blood sword.

He just hadn’t thought that Gan Yuxuan would assign the blood sword to Helian Manqiu to use. When the blood sword followed behind to protect Helian Manqiu, it was always very secretive. The hidden guards themselves were extremely secretive existences, and they rarely showed themselves in front of others.

The four great Hidden Guard leaders were even more so. Besides a few people, very few people knew their true appearances.

Normally, these people would disguise themselves and walk in the dark. Di Qingfeng had been promoted to an official position by the imperial government. Although his official position was not high, he had been stripped of his status as a servant and had officially become an official of the imperial government.

The blood sword was still the leader of the hidden guards. Although it sounded impressive, in front of Gan Qianxuan, it was just like a servant. It was the leader of a high class servant.

He quietly lowered his head and leaned on the door of the private room. He was still the leader of the hidden guards, but he wasn’t as good as he used to be. He wanted to personally go in and out to follow Helian Manqiu and protect this young general.

“He’s my janissary, and he’s also my elder brother.”

It was also good that the blood sword was here. Now that she and He Yutang had met in private, many things related to privacy. With the blood sword here, she could make the blood sword report back to Gan Danxuan, indicating that she had no ill intentions towards Gan Danxuan.

He Yuting looked at Helian Manqiu with a surprised expression. Was this young uncle-master being too impolite?

He called them brothers and brothers with his personal guards. In the aristocrats and officials’ families, these personal guards were the status of servants, and the only difference between them and ordinary servants was that they were strictly trained to protect their masters and to die for their masters at any time.

In an ordinary eunuch’s home, the personal guards would have to be extremely respectful to their masters, and would definitely follow their orders.

He did not understand that Helian Manqiu was a Count, so she did not have any reserved attitude or official tone. Not only did she treat these servants with kindness, she even called them brothers.

In He Yutang’s eyes, none of this was able to make him understand.

“So that’s how it is. Uncle is indeed a courteous and virtuous corporal. He treats people amiably, and this official is extremely impressed.”

“I’m flattered. Guard He, please have a taste of the Northern Frontier’s delicacies, the wild game of this place.”

Someone brought the dishes up. This restaurant was also one of Helian Manqiu’s businesses. She had secretly ordered people to bring the restaurant to Shengjing Hall.

“It is indeed very special. I’ve heard that the northern border has become a place where people grill. This is a delicacy invented by me. Today, this official wants to have a taste.”

Helian Manqiu smiled and said, “Exactly, it’s time to taste it and see how good my cooking is. Although it wasn’t made by me personally, the process of concocting the ingredients is almost the same.”

After the charcoal was lit, the room immediately became much warmer, and the smell of roasted meat began to waft into the room. Of course, Helian Manqiu would not go to cheap restaurants. She would also have to eat in her own restaurant to earn money for herself.

The rich smell of roasted meat and the fragrance of delicious wine wafted in the air. The fragrance wafted out from the restaurant and attracted the attention of those who passed by, causing them to turn back and stop, salivating. In this era, there were many types of seasonings added onto this kind of barbecue with a strong fragrance, making many people constantly visit this place and treat them …

It would be most appropriate to describe all the business of Helian Manqiu with the words “business flourishes”.

Not only was there a barbecue in her restaurant, but there were also all kinds of Korean cuisine, cold dishes, cooked foods and several special dishes of stir-fried vegetables and stew.

She was planning to solemnly launch the hotpot this autumn. This way, the restaurant’s business would become even more popular and go up to the next level.

As for why he did not push out the hotpot right now, Helian Manqiu was well aware of the principle that one had to take things step by step and constantly bring out new ideas to attract people. Every once in a while, she would come up with two tricks to draw out new life, attracting all those who had come to the restaurant and heard of it.

Now that their cooperation with the Fang family had blossomed in the Northern Frontier and gained benefits from their previous relationship with King Chen and King Lu, they agreed to give them business and goods and to open shops in the capital and throughout the Great Hengkong Empire.

At that time, Helian Manqiu had asked for a cooperative approach to every business. She wanted to share in the profits.

Since the other party had a noble identity as a prince, she understood that she could not cooperate in a manner similar to the Fang family, to draw benefits from the medium to long term. Fang Yicheng had also reminded her of this matter, suggesting that she sell the goods directly to the two princes, or turn the method of making barbecue meat into silver taels.
