majestic tiger

Chapter 92
At the same time, Butler Ding, who was wearing a black shirt, was standing in a house, looking up at the eaves. On the eaves stood a white pigeon, cooing, and walking on the ridge of the house.

Butler Ding's eyes flashed a cold light, he stared at one direction, and he stayed there calmly, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, a middle-aged man approached, bowed and said: "Master, everyone has brought, and they are all waiting in the side hall."

Butler Ding didn't look back, but raised his voice and said, "Are you honest?" His voice was sharp and full of hostility, and the pigeons on the roof were also disturbed, and flew away with fluttering wings.

"Master is wise, they are all obedient now." The middle-aged man replied flatteringly.

"Hmph, you don't eat fine wine for a toast, and you don't know good and bad things. These little guys are overthinking their abilities, and they want to fight with the master, and they don't care how much they are, so they insist on being cruel. Be obedient. Go, take a look." After he finished speaking, he turned around proudly and walked away, and the middle-aged man hurriedly followed him to the side hall.

In the side hall sat five middle-aged men, all of them downcast and listless.They used to work well as cooks in the restaurant of General Li's mansion. Yesterday morning, the butler suddenly came to the restaurant and ordered them all to go with him and work in a newly opened restaurant.

Having worked in General Li's Mansion Restaurant for many years, they already had feelings for this place, so they naturally didn't want to leave.Especially their chef, Yang Shichang, immediately and resolutely rejected Steward Ding, saying that he could not betray General Li no matter what.

Lao Yang is a foreigner. When there was a big flood in his hometown, he led his mother and daughter-in-law to escape from the famine, begging all the way to the capital, and fell ill due to hunger and cold, so he fell headlong outside this restaurant that day.It just so happened that the old lady was checking the accounts in the restaurant at that time, so she immediately called someone to carry him into the restaurant to fill the rice soup, and made arrangements to feed his family a full meal.Then he invited a doctor to treat his illness, which was regarded as saving his life.

After recovering from illness, the old lady took pity on him and took him and his wife to work in the restaurant.He started as a handyman and gradually became a chef.For him, the old lady is his savior, and being a good job in the General's Mansion restaurant is his reward for the old lady, not to mention, the old lady treats him well, and the monthly salary is very generous, so he and his wife He also saved a sum of money and bought a small house in the capital, and the family finally had a place to live and live.

Although after the old lady left, the old lady who is now in power is much harsher and her wages are getting less and less, but he and his wife live frugally and have never wavered in their determination to work in a restaurant.But never thought that Butler Ding insisted on forcing them all to leave.

The four cooks under him had all been favored by the original old lady, and they were of the same heart with Lao Yang, so under his leadership, they confronted Steward Ding and expressed their unwillingness to leave.Butler Ding had nothing to do with them, so he yelled that you were the best, and left in a huff.

That afternoon, Butler Ding asked someone to take Lao Yang's youngest son who was playing outside, but the people who took him were all guards serving as servants in the palace.Once this charge was charged, the child was taken away with confidence.

Then he blatantly threatened him and chopped off his son's fingers if he didn't obey.Lao Yang's son is Lao Lai, and all the previous ones were daughters. This is the fourth child, and the whole family is very precious, especially his old mother. Her own life is more important.

At first, Lao Yang thought that Steward Ding was just trying to scare him, until yesterday evening, when his son's little finger was thrown into the yard.Looking at the crippled finger that was condensed with black blood, the old mother couldn't breathe, rolled her eyes, passed out, and almost gave up her old life.Only then did Lao Yang realize that Steward Ding was ruthless and vicious enough...

Amid the crying of his daughter-in-law and the begging of his waking mother, Lao Yang had no choice but to compromise.The other four cooks had no choice but to obey after seeing Lao Yang's son.

Lao Yang's son was so frightened that he shrank in the corner of the wall, dazed. He was originally a bright, tiger-headed child, but he was so frightened that he lost a finger.They were all afraid, afraid that Butler Ding would take his ideas on their own children, they couldn't afford to offend Steward Ding, so let's accept their fate.

At this moment, Butler Ding walked in, and looked around at the five people with a smile on his face. The five people trembled, and all lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at him.

"I said you people, if you knew this before, why did you do it?" Steward Ding said as he sat down on the chair in the chair and waved someone to pour tea for him.

This Butler Ding, who did such a thing, didn't care at all, it was also arrogant.

At this time, the five men did not speak, and they did not even dare to breathe.It felt like the meat on the chopping board, being watched by the brutal Butler Ding, and he was holding a bright big knife in his hand, ready to cut them at any time.

Soon someone brought tea, butler Ding took the teacup, lifted the lid with his orchid fingers, and took a sip.Then he raised his long narrow eyes and glanced at the five people, and suddenly he threw the teacup on the ground, and there was a crisp bang, and the gold-embroidered teacup fell to pieces and shattered on the ground.

The splashed porcelain slag and tea landed on the corner of the skirt of the maid who was standing next to her. She didn't care about herself, and hurriedly bent over to clean up the teacup. The uncle would lose his temper again when it was too late.It's just that the servant girl's hand was cut with blood very quickly. The contrast between the dark red blood and the snow-white tiles made it difficult for the men to see.

Butler Ding scolded the maid and said, "Idiot, I asked you to brew the tea that Concubine Hui Hui gave me. What did you brew? Get rid of the things you don't care about!"

The servant girl kept her promise, not daring to neglect it.The purpose of the uncle's anger is for this sentence. He always intentionally or unintentionally reveals that the relationship between Concubine Hui and him is extraordinary in front of people he thinks he can reveal.

Soon the servant girl took away the broken cup, and another servant girl came up to wipe the floor dry.Butler Ding was in a better mood now, and said to several people: "I, Ding, are actually kind to you. The restaurant I asked you to go to is opened by a relative of Empress Hui. It's true that you go to work there. I flattered you all. As a result, you don’t know my good heart, which makes Ding very unhappy, and also hurts the friendship between me and you, so why bother?”

Concubine Hui is the emperor's favorite concubine, and now she is in the limelight, and the five cooks know it too.If they don't obey, they will be against Concubine Hui, and the crime will be serious.

The five people exchanged glances, but still no one took the initiative to speak.

Butler Ding coughed and coughed a few times, and said impatiently: "I like to go straight and go straight, and I don't have so much time to go around in circles. Please give me an accurate word so that I can go back to my life. Chef Yang, you go first .”

Lao Yang thought about his poor little son, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I will obey Steward Ding's orders." The other four also promised to follow Steward Ding's arrangement against their will.

Butler Ding curled his lips, looked at the five cooks with contempt, snorted and said, "That's right. I'll go to Rongshengju to work tomorrow, work hard, and I won't treat you badly. Also, Concubine Hui's mother respects the world, and she has always been restrained. From now on, you are not allowed to say anything about the relationship between this restaurant and Concubine Hui. If you reveal a word, it will be good for you. Remember?"

The five men all expressed their memory, and then Steward Ding said to the servants standing beside him: "I'm tired, you send them out!"
