Chapter 51: The dispute between Si Hongzhi and Zhong Lijun

The thin housekeeper hesitated for a while, he had served in the Prime Minister's Mansion for so many years, but he had never encountered such a thing, maybe others didn't know, but how could the housekeepers of the Prime Minister's Mansion not know that this Prime Minister has always been a person who is not close to women, and it is impossible to mess around.

But this bead is indeed something from the Prime Minister's Mansion, there can be no mistake, he glanced at the girl in front of him, and still decided to take this girl to meet the big housekeeper Si Hongzhi.

"Uncle, is there anything wrong with this bead of mine?" the little girl's eyes fixed on the slightly emaciated butler.

The thin butler immediately shook his head, at this time, an idea suddenly came to his mind, maybe there is nothing wrong with this bead, but the prime minister may not have given this bead away, maybe the prime minister lost it.

He immediately walked in with the little girl.

Along the way, the little girl always scanned her eyes at everything in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now it was noon, and the entire Prime Minister's Mansion was already a little hot under the sun, and the thin housekeeper was wearing more, so he couldn't stop sweating.

The people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, many of them cast strange glances at the little girl who walked behind the thin butler, after all, it was rare to see a child dressed in such shabby clothes.

"Where is the chief butler?" said the thin butler to one of the servants who had followed him.

The servant immediately stopped, then nodded, and politely courted the thin butler: "Butler, the big butler seems to be in his own mansion, just saw the chief butler He has been discussing something with the prime minister in the garden, and after the discussion, he walked in the direction of his own mansion." ”

"Okay, I got it. The butler said expressionlessly, and walked towards the housekeeper's house.

The little girl also hurriedly followed, and the thin butler strode with the pace of the meteor, making it a little difficult for her to keep up.

In the mansion of the chief butler Si Hongzhi, although it was still daytime at this time, many candles were still lit, one after another burning candles, just like the court hall of the imperial palace, extremely luxurious.

A domestic servant stepped forward quickly, bowed in front of Si Hongzhi, and stepped forward.

Si Hongzhi was sitting in the lobby at this moment, intending to listen to the reports of these people in front of him.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that the servant was in such a hurry, Si Hongzhi asked, his body was fat and made it a little difficult for him to speak at the moment, after all, he consumed so much physical strength in the early morning.

The servant's eyes were a little wrong, and then he said, "Chief butler, I should have reported this matter to you last night, but you were already out when we were going to report last night, so I didn't report to you until now." ”

"Tell me something!" The servant's hurried voice made Si Hongzhi's heart a little uneasy.

The servant's voice was also a little stumbling urgently: "Chief butler, I went to the treasury yesterday to search according to your instructions, but according to the records of the booklet, I could not find the cosmetics for the old lady. ”

"What!" Hearing this, Si Hongzhi immediately became a little nervous, this matter is not a trivial matter.

The servant swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then said: "Chief steward, I organized people to rummage through the entire warehouse yesterday, but I didn't find the whereabouts of that thing at all, as if it had disappeared mysteriously, and it wasn't until late last night that I unexpectedly learned the news......

When the servant said this, he stopped talking, as if there was something very difficult, but he still spoke: "Big butler, some time ago, Lord Zhong sent someone to take away the makeup that was originally going to be given to the old lady, and it was not registered in the treasury book. ”

Speaking of this, Si Hongzhi clenched his fists tightly, because the old lady had a completely different status in his heart, not only for him, but even for the prime minister and the entire prime minister's mansion, the meaning of the old lady was extraordinary.

"What did he take it for?" Si Hongzhi immediately asked loudly.

How could the servant know that he could only bow his head, and then shook his head, and his eyes didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at the big butler in front of him.

"Let's go, I'll meet him. Si Hongzhi finally stood up, the servants in this mansion are also the first time to see the big housekeeper so angry, if it is in normal times, no matter what it is, this big housekeeper will always let Zhong Lijun a little bit.

They didn't know what to do, so they could only follow the usual battle of the big housekeeper's travel, and hurriedly followed.

Si Hongzhi took a group of people violently and arrived in front of Zhong Lijun's mansion, and their arrival happened to meet Zhong Lijun coming out of the mansion, Zhong Lijun saw the menacing posture in front of him, and he was a little confused, but he didn't like this big butler very much.

"What, what are you doing here?" Zhong Lijun said loudly, and the few people who followed him were also holding their heads high, and they were used to following Zhong Lijun, so even if they were people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, they were not afraid of this big butler at all.

"Zhong Lijun. Si Hongzhi called these three words, and Zhong Lijun suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Zhong Lijun glared at Si Hongzhi, and then said loudly: "Tell me quickly, what is the matter, if you have nothing to do, just walk away for me immediately, the prime minister is still waiting for me." ”

Si Hongzhi was also very angry at this time, after all, he didn't have anything to be afraid of Zhong Lijun, this Zhong Lijun was actually just the prime minister's personal servant, not even a housekeeper, and he was able to enjoy this mansion, and he had served the prime minister for so long.

"Zhong Lijun, let me ask you, some time ago, you went to the treasury and took something?" Si Hongzhi asked loudly.

Seeing that Si Hongzhi was so angry, Zhong Lijun still thought about it carefully, after all, for such a long time, he had never seen Si Hongzhi show such an obvious anger towards him.

"I didn't!" Zhong Lijun thought for a moment, and then said, "All the things in the treasury must be approved by the prime minister before they can be taken out, how can I go to the treasury to get things in person?"

The atmosphere fell into a stalemate here, and Si Hongzhi said: "Where are you going to go for the old lady's makeup? I have carefully checked with the people in the warehouse, and the things given to the old lady are indeed taken away by you, and they are not recorded in the register of the warehouse. ”
