Chapter 23: The Great Butler

Zhong Lijun walked out of the kitchen, but this taste still lingered in his mouth, and even he didn't understand why he thought this kind of food was delicious, even if it was the best meal in those subordinate kingdoms, it was just a folk snack when it came to the dynasty.

"Alright, you go back first. After Zhong Lijun walked out of the kitchen two steps, he realized that the steward behind him was still following him, and he commanded.

"Yes!" Hearing Zhong Lijun's words, the steward hurriedly stopped.

Zhong Lijun walked in the direction in front of him alone, he was now complacent, but when he just walked out of the door of the kitchen area and walked into the garden, he was confronted by the chief butler of this mansion.

He was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly came back to his senses, facing the big butler in front of him, although he used to be very timid, but now he is unceremoniously.

The chief butler seemed to realize that he would definitely see Zhong Lijun, he pretended to cough twice, and the two servants in black clothes who followed behind him also hurriedly lowered their heads, and the servants beside the chief butler never greeted Zhong Lijun when they followed the big butler.

"Why, I heard that you just gave you a personal punishment?" said the chief butler with a smile, as if he were joking.

Zhong Lijun snorted coldly: "Chief butler, you said this, do you think that I have no authority to punish a servant?"

"Lord Zhong, of course you have power, but don't you think that this reward is a bit heavy?" the butler's words were very polite.

Zhong Lijun disdainfully looked at the big butler in front of him, and said, "Big butler, are you really tired, there are thousands of people in our prime minister's mansion, so you must take care of me?"

Listening to Zhong Lijun's words, the chief butler smiled as if he didn't care: "Lord Zhong, I'm just reminding you that the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion are also human beings, and it's not good for you to make a decision without investigating one thing clearly." ”

"You don't need to say anything more about the big butler. Zhong Lijun was a little impatient by the big butler in front of him, and he spoke again, "Big butler, don't forget, the prime minister said it himself, and some of my orders represent the meaning of the prime minister. ”

Zhong Lijun's words have been repeated many times in front of the chief butler, he has long been used to it, the chief butler waved his hand lightly at this time, and just now the young man who was given the palace punishment by Zhong Lijun was escorted by two guards.

The atmosphere at the scene fell into embarrassment for a while, because Zhong Lijun looked at this man as if nothing had happened.

"Lord Zhong, just now I heard someone shouting at me along the way, so I intercepted him, since he said that something was wronged, then as the chief butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I can't sit idly by. The butler said with a smile.

Zhong Lijun was naturally very angry, but on the surface, he just frowned, he looked at the man, and directly asked: "Since you said that something was wronged, do you think that I wronged you?"

Suddenly, the man knelt down, he raised his head, his face was already covered with tears, he just wanted to speak, but he realized that whether he said yes or not, it was wrong, after all, he couldn't say that this Zhong Lijun had wronged a good person.

Then he cried loudly: "Lord Zhong, I am old and young, I have just saved enough money to marry a wife, and I am the only man in my family, you can't just cut me off like this." ”

Listening to the man's words, Zhong Lijun frowned even more tightly, what he didn't like to hear the most was this kind of words: "If you do something wrong, you should be punished well, karma, I hope you can understand it yourself." ”

After saying that, he immediately said to the two guards who were escorting the young man, "Drag me down and give me a palace punishment." ”

When the chief butler saw this scene in front of him, his face was naturally unbearable, as the chief butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he should be the existence of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion above 10,000 people.

"Wait a minute, Lord Zhong, I already said that it's not good for you to do this. The butler said.

Zhong Lijun made up his mind at this time, he was bound to take back the face of the big butler in front of this subordinate person, suppress his momentum, in this prime minister's mansion, as long as a subordinate saw it, then it would be spread quickly, and he also knew this.

He stepped forward, and the two sturdy guards were still half-squatting and holding the kneeling young man with some difficulty, and their movements were very strange.

The young man was extremely afraid, and his body was constantly trembling, for fear that if he really suffered this kind of punishment, then the family would be doomed.

Zhong Lijun also half-squatted down, and then looked at the young man in front of him, the young man looked at Zhong Lijun's eyes, he was very afraid: "Lord Zhong, please give me a chance to mend my ways." ”

The big butler on the side looked at Zhong Lijun, he couldn't directly order someone to be brought back.

The corners of Zhong Lijun's mouth were slightly hooked, under the illumination of this sun, his smile was very evil, and he immediately said loudly: "You two, now immediately escort him and follow me!"

"Yes!" the two guards shouted, dragging the young man up.

The young man was forced to walk forward, but his eyes looked at the big butler, and he roared loudly: "Big butler, save me!"

The chief butler didn't expect Zhong Lijun to do this at all, he just wanted to follow, but he saw Zhong Lijun say loudly while walking towards the front: "The prime minister already knows about this matter, and he also allowed it." ”

When Zhong Lijun's words fell, the chief butler stopped, and could only watch Zhong Lijun take people away.

When the young man heard Zhong Lijun's words, he immediately fell into extreme despair, if even the prime minister allowed it, in this world, except for the Xuanwu Emperor, then there was really no one who could save himself.

He kept crying, and his mouth was broken: "Lord Zhong, please spare me, I will be a cow and a horse for you in the next life." ”

As if he hadn't heard the young man's voice, Zhong Lijun kept walking towards the front, and even began to speed up his pace.

The two guards who were escorting the young man behind him also began to speed up their pace, and the young man knew that everything was a foregone conclusion.
