Chapter 798 - Failure

The shop owner was a vulgar person. He only knows how to make money by making food. Plus, he doesn’t know how to listen. A bit earlier, the man said to his son that he would be given special treatment if he came wearing an official uniform. It was very straightforward, so the shop owner naturally understands. However, the shop owner didn’t understand what Bai Zhi said to the kid that business was fair. What he knows was, he gave a lot to those rich people, so how can they be so stingy? Shouldn’t the rich spend money without frowning?

“I don’t understand what lesson you are talking about. What I know is I lose money by doing this business today.”

The man spoke slowly: “You deserve this loss. When you serve the food, you did what you want. You give the amount you want. Those people didn’t ask you to increase the amount. You increased it yourself. But now that they paid you the normal price, you are not happy? Isn’t this what you deserve?”

“She deliberately counted you today by packing the rest of the beef so that you will have principle. You should have principles when doing things and be a man. I also learned from this. Why can’t you?”

After saying those words, the man got up. He took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and put it on the table, then pulled the little boy and left.

In Prince Xiao’s Mansion

Chu Feng was with his guests in the side hall. He just mentioned going out to have a drink with them. However, the next moment, a guard came in to report. The guard saw that there were many outsiders so he didn’t dare to speak, but he looked very anxious.

Chu Feng asked the guests to wait for a while and then took the guard back to his study room: “Why so anxious? What kind of demeanor you are showing in front of the guests?”

The guard busily said: “His royal highness, our people in Jinyang sent a news that we have failed.”

Chu Feng, who just sat on the chair immediately stood up and said with a fierce look on his face: “What? Failed? How did we fail? Isn’t this trap was set long ago? Didn’t I tell you to be careful? How could we fail?”

The guard had always been in the palace and didn’t go to Jinyang County. So he was not clear about what exactly happens.

“His royal highness, that hidden spy was also caught.”

Chu Feng’s expression changed drastically, “Caught? Who caught him?”

The guard replied: “He was caught by Prince Jin. When he realized that he failed, he took a shot at Prince Jin. Who knows—”

Chu Feng was so angry that he smashed his favorite inkstone. He was very similar to his imperial mother. They liked to smash things when they were in a bad mood.

“Stupid, isn’t he sending himself right to the door?” Well, even he himself couldn’t see through the skill of his younger brother. No one knows how powerful Prince Jin is. If not because he had no other choice, he wouldn’t choose to assassinate him. Chu Yan and the people around him were all top masters. The risk of assassinating him was too high and it was not cost-effective.

“Where is Prince Jin now? Did you find out?”

The guard shook his head. “Not yet. He disappeared without a trace.”

“What about the poisoned princess? Is she dead?” Chu Feng continued to ask patiently.

The guard shook his head again: “It’s not clear. The princess and her maidservant were rescued. In the beginning, Prince Jin fell into our trap. But when our people arrived, they disappeared. They turned the city upside down but didn’t found their trace. The next morning, he suddenly appeared outside Jinyang City with his men and said that he came to meet with the Jin Country’s envoy.”

Chu Feng was so angry that he vomited blood. After preparing for so long and killing so many people, he still failed to catch Chu Yan. On the contrary, he put himself in a dangerous situation and maybe confessed at any time.

“His royal highness, what should we do now?” The guard asked.
