Chapter 90: The Unlucky Butler
Chapter 90: The Unlucky Butler
Xiangyang City Banquet Hall
At this time, the place was already very lively, and the surroundings were very festive, and the maids were busy bringing wine and food from the back hall.
A butler-like man was directing the men to set up the banquet venue.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! If you don't get it right, be careful, I want your dog's life! ”
Perhaps he said it a little louder, but a maid fell to the ground for fear of kicking a step, and the food in her hand fell to the ground.
"Hey! I just said that you are like this, did you mean it? If you don't want to live, then I'll fulfill you!! ”
Hearing the butler's murderous words, the maid was suddenly frightened and cried, only to see her kneeling on the ground and desperately kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"Steward, spare your life! Butler, let's go around me this time! ”
The maid kowtowed while begging for mercy, and at the same time cast a look at the frowning few maids who usually had a good relationship with her for help, but to her disappointment, these people who usually called sisters not only did not open their mouths to help her intercede, but also quickened their pace and put down their things and left.
"Spare you? Do you know that if something goes wrong, who's going to go around me? Come on, I'll pull down the cane and kill it! ”
In other words, in this era, the subordinates who sell themselves to this kind of cane will not receive any legal sanctions at all, and they sell the death contract, which means that after the person comes in, their family members cannot have an opinion regardless of life or death, even if it really makes trouble, at most it is to give some money to send things away.
But this is the steward of the City Lord's Mansion, if he kills a subordinate, who will have the audacity to sue him?
And just as the two servants stepped forward to set up the maid who was sitting on the ground and weeping, and was about to go down, a voice came from outside.
"Stop!"
Hearing this voice, the housekeeper frowned, because he heard that the owner of this voice was not an ordinary person, and when he turned his head, he saw a man in his twenties standing at the door, this man was none other than Liu Qi, the eldest son of Liu Biao!
"I've seen the eldest prince!" The housekeeper bowed slightly to Liu Qi, and then said to the two family members.
"What are you doing in a daze, and you don't want to pull this bad guy out? Don't dirty the eyes of the eldest prince! ”
"Yes!" When the two family members heard this, they pulled the maid and were about to leave, as if they knew that their fate was only the eldest prince in front of them who could save themselves, and the maid hurriedly struggled and shouted,
"Help, help!"
"How housekeeper, don't you listen to my words anymore, didn't I just let you stop!" Liu Qi couldn't help but be angry when he saw that the housekeeper was doing this to him.
When the housekeeper saw Liu Qi angry, he didn't have even a trace of fear in his heart, if it was a few years ago, maybe he would kneel in front of Liu Qi to say hello, but now...
Since a few years ago, Cai Mao made Liu Qi make a fool of himself in front of Liu Biao, and Liu Zong became more and more liked by Liu Biao, everyone in the City Lord's Mansion had an idea in their hearts, coupled with Mrs. Cai's favor and strength, everyone knew for a while that Liu Qi had slowly moved away from the advantages of the heir.
The saying of abolishing the elder and the young has also begun to become popular in Xiangyang City, but because Liu Biao is not perverted, this statement is becoming more and more acceptable.
"Ah, the eldest prince is angry!" The housekeeper said lightly, where is this tone of admitting mistakes? I saw him glance at the maid, and then said to Liu Qi.
"Since the eldest prince thinks that this maid has done nothing wrong, then this maid will be handed over to the eldest prince in the future, and the lord's banquet will start in a while, so I will be busy first."
"You!" Liu Qi didn't expect this housekeeper to dare to talk to him like this, and he was so angry for a while.
When the two housekeepers saw the housekeeper turn around and go about their own business, they thought about it and left the maid, then bowed to Liu Qi and left with the housekeeper.
The whole hall knows what happened here, and it won't be long before the entire City Lord's Mansion will know about it, and this is exactly what this butler needs, because he wants to show it to the people above.
But it's a pity that he didn't choose the right time for today's approach!
Because Liu Qi was not alone when he came, there were several tall and burly people standing behind him.
"Bastard thing! That's how you spoke to your son-in-law? ”
Suddenly, an angry shout came from the side, the housekeeper's face changed when he heard this, he turned his head sharply, and just wanted to scold the person who spoke, but when he saw the person who came clearly, his face changed, because he recognized who the person who spoke was, he turned out to be the brother of his lord, Liu Bei, who was also the emperor's uncle!
Behind Liu Bei were Qin Feiyang and others who came with Liu Bei!
It turned out that after Liu Bei and they came to the City Lord's Mansion under the leadership of Cai He, they happened to meet Liu Qi, for Liu Qi, Liu Bei was a relatively kind elder, so he was very friendly to Liu Bei.
And Cai He was in a hurry to explain to his brother because of the failure of the mission, so when he saw that Liu Qi was going to take the initiative to take Liu Bei in, he also shirked a few sentences and left.
And when the housekeeper was reprimanding the maid, Liu Qi happened to bring Liu Bei and them over, it can be said that if Liu Bei didn't come over, the housekeeper would have collided with Liu Qi today, even if Liu Qi sued, someone would support him, but Liu Bei was there, and this matter was big.
"I've seen Uncle Liuhuang!"
The housekeeper's face was very ugly at this time, although he was Liu Biao's housekeeper, but Liu Bei in front of him was not an ordinary person, and the eyes of Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi on the side made him almost kneel on the ground in fright.
After all, Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi were people who were killed from the sea of corpses in the mountain of corpses, where could a housekeeper withstand their murderous aura?
"Humph!"
Liu Qi is Liu Bei's junior, compared to Liu Zong, he prefers Liu Qi, originally he also heard that Liu Qi is not doing well, but this is Liu Biao's family matter, although he and Liu Biao call each other brothers, but Liu Bei has self-knowledge, for Liu Biao's family affairs, he has no right to meddle at all.
But today, he met Liu Qi and was bullied by a housekeeper, and today he was almost calculated by Cai Mao, which made Liu Bei's heart have nowhere to start.
"I'll tell my brother about this, the housekeeper still needs an honest person to do it!"
"You..." The butler's face changed when he heard this, he didn't expect Liu Bei to do this, he just wanted to say something, but he saw a young man on the side suddenly walk out, and in the butler's puzzled eyes, he pulled out a sword and threw it over.
The housekeeper took it and looked at the visitor with a puzzled face, he didn't know what the person meant by it, but when the person said the following words, the housekeeper's face suddenly turned blue.
"Someone, the butler is going to assassinate the eldest prince!"
