Chapter 10: Repaying Grievances with Straightforwardness (2)
Zhang Lu was stunned for a moment, and said hurriedly: "Now that Zhang Fu's rumors are so unbearable, can the master still tolerate him?" ”
Li Qing smiled lightly, as if he was laughing at Zhang Lu's naivety, and laughed so hard that Zhang Lu's old face was swollen and red, and then he said slowly: "Do you think that if you make some rumors, Zhang Fu will be driven away?" After all, it's just a rumor, there is no evidence, and besides, even if the master has this heart, it's not good to use this reason, otherwise wouldn't he just tell others that he is green here? Li Qing couldn't help but compare the shape of a hat on his head, and laughed to himself.
Although Zhang Lu didn't quite understand the meaning of this green hat, he could guess one or two, and he couldn't help laughing.
"Then what method does Li Gongzi think is the best way to use?" Zhang Lu stopped laughing, he suddenly understood in his heart that this Li Qing had made a special trip to wait for him, and he must have already made a plan.
Sure enough, Li Qing's face instantly became extremely cold, did these people think that the official family would be fine? He Li Qing has always had clear grievances, and if there is revenge, he will revenge, this rumor is just a zha medicine that was scored first, and to make it explode, a detonator is needed.
"Second steward, this matter still needs you to operate."
He whispered a few words in Zhang Lu's ear, Zhang Lu's face changed greatly, and cold sweat was dripping on his back, fortunately he was not dealing with himself, this kind of evil trick could not be escaped by anyone.
......
A few years ago, there was a rumor: "Big head, thick neck, either big money or a guy", this is the image of Zhang Xi, the chef of Zhangfu, he is a black and fat strong man, full of meat, and his big head seems to be directly on his shoulders, plus a pair of violent crab eyes, and the word Xi in his name has nothing to do with it.
Zhang Xi was brought by the second lady to marry, and he was also Zhang Fu's hardcore confidant, with Zhang Fu's support, and in charge of everyone's rice bowls, this Zhang Xi was very high-flying in the house, and if anyone was not pleasing to the eye, he would be hungry, so there was no one in the mansion who did not hate him.
Li Qing was beaten on the first night, that is, he found the hooligans on the street to do it, and he also participated in the beating, according to his wishes, it is best to abolish this person and kill a hundred people, so he was extremely ruthless, but unfortunately he was broken by the lotus flower, and he did not succeed.
The rice, noodles, meat and eggs that Zhang Fu usually consumes are generally transported by the manor, but the manor is relatively remote and the road is inconvenient, so it is not often sent, and the fresh vegetables, fruits and the like that are needed on weekdays are only bought on the street, and the purchase power naturally falls on the head chef Zhang Xi.
On this day, a vegetable seller found Zhang Xi, willing to provide seasonal vegetables for a long time, although the price is much more expensive than others, but the rebate can be given fifty percent, and it is paid in cash on the spot, he can't help but be tempted, although this person is a new face, but Zhang Xi, who was fascinated by money, still couldn't help but agree to try.
Early in the morning, the man sent a few cars of fresh winter bamboo shoots, a total of three money, and the account room after settling the account, Zhang Xi ordered him to transport the bamboo shoots to the kitchen, see that there was no one around, the man made a look, Zhang Xi understood, followed him into the room, but as soon as the money was in hand, there was a sneer behind him: "I have heard about it for a long time, but I have never believed that I can be caught right today!" ”
Zhang Xi turned his head suddenly, frightened, it turned out to be the lady and the master standing at the door, his hand was loosened, and the money fell to the ground in a loud way.
"Sir! Madam! Listen to me. He fell to his knees, crawled forward a few steps and wailed.
Zhang Yuanwai's face turned green with anger, and he pointed at Zhang Xi and shouted, "Explain! Do you want me to gouge out my own eyes? "After working as a chef in the mansion for three years, and I don't know how much money I was greedy for, he suddenly felt nauseous, and he couldn't vomit out everything he had eaten before.
"Someone! Tie him up for me. ”
Immediately, several stout family members came up and tied Zhang Xi up to death, listened to him scream like a pig, and kicked him a few times.
"Master Zhang! This has nothing to do with me, he forced me to ask for money, and said that this is the rule of your house, if you don't give it, you don't want the villain's food, the villain wants to feed the family, and he has no way to be blackmailed, beg the lord to be gracious, don't cut off my life. ”
The vegetable seller knelt on the ground, kowtowing like garlic, only to see Zhang Lu whispering a few words to his wife in the back, Mrs. Zhang sneered and said: "I was going to send you to the official, but for the sake of you being a first-time offender, you get out!" From now on, you are not allowed to step into the Zhang family. ”
"Yes! Be! The man got up from the ground and ran away in a few steps, Zhang Lu looked at his back, and an imperceptible smug flashed in his eyes.
Mrs. Zhang stared at Zhang Yuanwai and said hatefully: "Master! What do you think about this? "This joy was brought by that slut, this time the evidence is conclusive, and she will never tolerate it again.
Zhang Yuanwai raised his hand to stop his wife's words, signaling her not to interrupt her train of thought, he was still calculating the expenses of the kitchen in the past few years, if the rebate is 30%, plus the high price, this is at least two times a day for vegetables, carbon and fruits, three years, not to mention he has been embezzled by him as much as five or six hundred, God! Five or six hundred times, Zhang Yuanwai's heart will be broken.
"Beat him to death and make him pay all his money!" He couldn't hold back any longer and roared hysterically.
Zhang Fu, who had just heard the news, saw this scene, and wanted to die headlonging, he reminded Zhang Xi many times that he couldn't get kickbacks in the house, but this stupid guy just didn't listen, he was so stupid that he was home, and suddenly saw his eyes asking for help to look at him, Zhang Fu's heart was banging! Bang! The ground beat the heavy drum, and he also took the benefits of Zhang Xi's gift, no! He can't die at the hands of this stupid man, he sees that the situation is not good, and he will quietly slip away!
"Big butler, you have to speak for me!" Zhang Xi was frightened when he saw him turn around to leave, so he counted on him to intercede for him, and couldn't help but shout loudly.
"Zhang Fu, you stop!" Mrs. Zhang had already noticed Zhang Fu, and seeing that he looked nervous and weird, she also vaguely guessed that this matter must have something to do with him.
Zhang Fumeng heard his wife tell him to stop, as if he suddenly lost his footing and fell into the abyss, he closed his eyes in pain, "It's over!" Finished! It's all over! ”
"Zhang Xi, if you are willing to honestly explain all these years, I may spare your life and your family!" Mrs. Zhang glanced at him, and then at Zhang Fu, Zhang Xi suddenly understood, he climbed two steps in a row, and said loudly: "Master, I said!" I'll say it all. He pointed at Zhang Fu and shouted: "He, he also has a share!" ”
.......
In the afternoon of the same day, the front yard of Zhang's house was crowded, and the Zhang family held a public handling meeting, and Zhang Xi was greedy for the master's money, cut off one of his arms, and escorted him to the government for punishment.
"Master, how should Zhang Fu be punished?" Mrs. Zhang looked at her husband coldly, she hated Zhang Fu for attracting the fox spirit, and wanted to drive him away several times, but her husband has been protecting him, and this time it depends on how he explains.
Zhang Yuanwai hesitated for a moment, this Zhang Fu's grandfather and father are loyal to the Zhang family, and they have to remember some old feelings, and more importantly, if this Zhang Fu is gone, he really has no right to speak, but if he doesn't deal with him, I'm afraid that Mrs. will not give up.
"Well, let's send him to take care of the manor! Exchange Zhang Shou for it. Zhang Yuanwai sighed, just wanted to speak, and suddenly saw the second lady slowly walking over and kneeling, Zhang Xi was disposed of, she didn't dare to show up, if this Zhang Fu had another accident, how would she live in the house in the future.
"Sir! For the sake of my years of serving the master, I will spare Zhang Fu! ”
It's also in line with Zhang Fu's bad luck, it's good that she doesn't show up, her pleading, Zhang Yuanwai suddenly remembered the rumors a few days ago: the two of them had an affair,
The more he explained to himself, the more he showed that he had a ghost in his heart. At this time, the courtyard was quiet, all the people lowered their heads, their faces were weird, Zhang Yuanwai suddenly felt that everyone must be laughing at his uselessness, even a woman couldn't be subdued, he peeked at Madame again, Madame looked straight ahead, but the corners of her lips showed a hint of sarcasm.
Zhang Yuanwai stared at the two, but in his mind he was interpreting the scene of the two of them, and the anger in his chest rose again, more fierce and more intense, and a little pity had already been thrown to the country of Jawwa.
"Zhang Fu!" He shouted.
Zhang Fu trembled, he hated this stupid and eventful woman to death, didn't she know that she was going to kill him at this time?
"You didn't report it, but instead took benefits and concealed it for Zhang Xi, and it was even more unforgivable, come on! Hit a hundred boards, go to the manor to farm, and never allow you to step into the house again! ”
A wail: "Master, spare me!" ”
......
Zhangfu made a fuss, but Li Qing was in an indifferent mood, he came to Jincheng Mountain alone, tasting the late plum of the Tang Dynasty, but seeing the purple and red all over the mountain, the falling flowers were colorful, and they were gathered into bundles, rolled into clusters, clusters, and layers, like clouds and brocades spread all over the sky, as if they were in the ocean of plums.
"I don't know who cut out the thin leaves, the spring breeze in February is like scissors", Li Qing casually broke off a wicker, the young shoots have been quietly spit green on the branches, he smiled apologetically, and reinserted the willow branches into the soil, the spring of the second year of Tianbao is about to fall on the earth, and in a few days, he will accompany Zhang Qiu to Xianyufu, Xinzheng County, for a sprint before the township test.
