Chapter 491 Shameless Traitor
Wang Wenzhou asked loudly, "Anyone want something delicious? Hurry up, first come, first served! There's only so much food left, once it's gone, it's gone!"
Although the North Korean people could speak a few words of Chinese, their Chinese proficiency was far below level 4, and they couldn't understand Wang Wenzhou's words at all.
Song Yingzhou laughed loudly: "Wang Wenzhou, how can the people of Korea be as shameless as you?"
Wang Wenzhou frowned; something was wrong!
Li Mei said softly, "My lord, most Korean people don't understand Chinese, so they have no idea what you're saying."
Wang Wenzhou hugged Li Mei and kissed her, laughing loudly, "Baby, you're so good. Otherwise, I would have been so embarrassed today."
"Sigh..." Li Mei sighed softly. "You rascal, you know how embarrassing it is? When are any of us sisters not embarrassed by being with you?"
Wang Wenzhou waved, and Jian Fengyu quickly ran over.
Wang Wenzhou ordered, "Bring those two lackeys over."
"Yes!" Jian Fengyu accepted the order and left. A moment later, two dog servants, accompanied by their three masters, hurriedly ran over.
Upon seeing Wang Wenzhou, Shen He immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "This dog slave Shen He greets Your Excellency."
"Get up!" Wang Wenzhou waved his hand and said, "You two immediately shout to the people that as long as they kowtow three times to me and then shout, 'Wang Wenzhou is my grandfather,' they can enjoy a free luxury meal!"
"Yes!" Shen He and Cui Zhe shouted loudly in Korean.
The students were furious, pointing at the two lackeys and cursing them: "You two shameless traitors, you've disgraced our great Korea!"
Shen He was an old swindler. He seemed not to hear the students' curses, his expression unchanged, his heart pounding, as he continued to address the people.
Cui Zhe, having once served as a court official, blushed with shame upon hearing the students' curses, and his voice trailed off. Little Lanlan, the dog, being quite perceptive, barked wildly a few times.
Cui Zhe suddenly realized that he was a dog slave! Dog Master was his master. What benefits did he get from being a dog slave? Did he get to eat delicious meals? His gold teeth were worth two thousand taels of silver. Only by following Lord Wang could he make money and have a future! Thinking of this, he became invigorated and his voice grew louder.
What?! Such a good thing? Upon hearing this, the three ragged beggars immediately ran to Wang Wenzhou, knelt down and kowtowed, saying in broken Chinese with a strange accent, "Wang Wenzhou is my grandfather!"
"Haha!" Wang Wenzhou laughed loudly, "Good grandson, get up and go eat."
"Traitors! You three shameless traitors, selling out your country for personal gain, you deserve to die!" The students pointed at the three beggars and cursed them.
An older beggar turned and glanced at the group of students, saying disdainfully, "You young people, you've read a few books and you think you're something special? We're starving beggars, what difference does it make who we call 'grandpa'? If it were you, after three days without food, would you be so excited to call a dog 'grandpa' as soon as you could have enough to eat!"
The students scoffed, calling him a shameless illiterate! How could an idle beggar possibly understand national righteousness? It was like casting pearls before swine!
The old beggar continued, "Don't label others as traitors to their country so easily! We're just beggars trying to make a living. If we had the ability to betray our country, would we need to beg for food and be beggars?"
Although the students looked disdainful, they were rendered speechless.
The old beggar quickly went to his companions, and the three of them picked up the plates and started eating.
"Wow!" a beggar exclaimed excitedly as he ate, "This was made by the famous chef of Yipinlou! I could tell the difference after just one bite!"
Another beggar laughed and cursed, "You're a beggar who asks for food, and you've been to Yipinlou? You must have been there in your dreams!"
The man quickly retorted, "I often scavenge for food near Yipinlou, so this is definitely from Yipinlou!"
The three beggars chatted and laughed as they devoured their food, making the onlookers swallow hard.
The old swindler Shen He was very eloquent. In order to please Wang Wenzhou, he quickly shouted to the people, "Fellow villagers, don't listen to the nonsense of these young men who have read a little. What do they know? They've never been hungry, how would they know what hunger is like? So much delicious food is laid out in front of you, don't you want to cherish it?"
Shen He said righteously, "Nothing is more real than money. These are all famous chefs from the major restaurants in Hancheng. Normally, a dish here would cost at least two or three taels of silver. We are all ordinary people. Who would be willing to spend so much money to eat here? Now, this opportunity is free, and you will regret it for the rest of your life if you miss it!"
Shen He pointed at Wang Wenzhou and said, "Now, as long as you call Lord Wang 'Grandpa,' you can have a lunch worth more than ten taels of silver. This is truly a rare opportunity!"
"Nonsense!" Song Yingzhou pointed at Shen He and cursed, "You shameless traitor, a lackey of the Ming Dynasty, you don't deserve to be called a Korean! Get out of Korea, Korea doesn't welcome you!"
"Pah!" Shen He retorted sarcastically, "Who do you think you are? You think you can just tell me to get lost and I'll leave? Let me tell you, I'm an imperial envoy of the Ming Dynasty, a lackey of Lord Wang! Even prefects and governors have to fawn over me! Besides, my family has been Korean for generations, what right do you have to tell me to get out of Korea?"
While the two were hurling insults at each other, four bold and shameless commoners slowly walked up to Wang Wenzhou and kowtowed, saying, "Wang Wenzhou is my grandfather!"
"Greetings, my grandsons!" Wang Wenzhou waved with a smile. "Go eat, everyone, and have plenty of food!"
"Thank you, Grandpa!" the four quickly said.
Once someone started, many people accepted it. It was just a matter of kneeling and calling him "Grandpa." Besides, Wang Wenzhou was an imperial envoy from the superior state; calling him "Grandpa" wouldn't be a loss. This man was the one who slapped the king across the face, and the king didn't dare say a word.
Gradually, more and more people became known as traitors to the government in the eyes of the students.
As more people dined there, the praise grew louder. Wang Wenzhou was well-off; he hired top-notch chefs and used only the finest ingredients. It would be strange if the dishes he made weren't delicious.
The common people, who hadn't been forced to kowtow, were drooling with envy. Gradually, they came to understand that it was just a matter of kowtowing a few times. As Shen He said, this was a windfall, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Thinking of this, the people were eager to become his grandson.
Wang Wen waved his hand and said coldly, "Being my grandson isn't that easy. All of you line up, one by one!"
Amidst the guards' curses, the grandsons formed a long line, waiting to kowtow to Wang Wenzhou.
The students were dumbfounded. At first, they dared to curse, but as more and more people joined in, the students cursed the common people, and the common people's curses were even louder than theirs.
The students were all learned people, and usually gentle and refined. How could they be as foul-mouthed as the common people? In no time, the students were so badly insulted that they couldn't even open their mouths.
While eating hotpot, Wang Wenzhou received the respectful greetings of his grandchildren.
Wang Wenzhou took a sip of wine from Wang Ying's mouth and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, do you see that? Love your sister's country! In the face of profit, everyone is a traitor. Believe it or not, I can turn these students into the traitors they call traitors."
Li Mei frowned and said coldly, "Husband, I don't believe it! They are all scholars, they wouldn't be like these common people, so shameless."
