In the living room, Zhao Ji waited a little impatiently.

Just as he was about to send someone to inquire, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then Zhao Kong ran in.

"Old palace master, Lord Shen and Hu Cheng Mansion have come to the gate of the mansion."

"Did that bag of blackheads come with you?" Zhao Ji asked.

"Nope." Zhao Kong replied affirmatively, with a slight panic on his face, and added, "Shen Pu also brought two officials, both with knives, and it seems that they are ......."

"Okay, you go down, bring a few people, and greet this Lord Shen for me." Without waiting for Zhao Kong to finish speaking, Zhao Ji commanded.

Zhao Kong hurriedly ran out and called a few family members to go to the gate with him.

Shen Pu and Hu Cheng have already stepped on the steps.

Shen Pu didn't seem to care about what Zhao Kong said, but just looked at him coldly, which made Zhao Kong feel a chill down his spine unconsciously.

Zhao Ji was quite face-saving to Shen Pu, and actually walked to the door of the living room.

"See the old palace master." Shen Pu strode over and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Lord Shen has not been here for a long time, he must be very busy with official business, but he can take time to come here to visit this king, this king is really honored, he wants to be polite, and please talk in the hall." When Zhao Ji spoke, he looked at Hu Cheng on the side.

Hu Cheng's eyes turned to Zhao Kong.

Zhao Ji's eyes quickly rolled a few times.

Shen Pu walked into the living room.

There was already a maid in front of her, asking Shen Pu to sit down, and filling the teacup with fragrant tea in her hand.

"Lord Shen came to my Anle Palace, there must be something wrong, this king listens to it." Zhao Ji said.

Shen Pu stood up.

"Old palace master, there is indeed one thing that the lower official wants to ask the old palace master to call the shots, if the old palace master does not allow it, the lower official will immediately take someone back, and will never embarrass the old palace master."

Zhao Ji's gaze looked at Hu Cheng again.

Hu Cheng's gaze also looked at Zhao Kong again.

Zhao Kong seemed to have a hunch, and subconsciously took a few steps back.

This time, Zhao Ji seemed to understand that Shen Pu should have something to do with Zhao Kong.

"Lord Shen is polite, please tell me bluntly."

Shen Pu's gaze really turned to Zhao Kong.

"According to the report yesterday, Zhao Kong, the housekeeper of the house, took people to the Li family's pharmacy the day before yesterday to extort money, and intended to molest the maid of the pharmacy. Xia Guan didn't want to alarm the old palace master, but when the shopkeeper of the pharmacy learned that Master Bao was here, he wanted to go to cry out for grievances, so he had to comfort him with kind words and temporarily ordered him not to publicize it. I don't know if the old palace master can know about this? Shen Pu said.

Zhao Ji's heart was shocked.

Zhao Kong, An Lengshuang and Hu Cheng are the only three people who know about the little palace master Zhao Pet, and Hu Cheng doesn't need to say it. It's just that this Zhao Kong recruited him into the mansion by himself, just to restrain him from going outside to cause trouble, so as not to be caught by the government and involve Zhao Pet. Now, An Lengshuang has been sent away, but Zhao Kong in this mansion has not been controlled according to his own intentions.

Zhao Ji's face was ugly.

"There is such a thing, is Lord Shen sure that he is the housekeeper of the house?"

Shen Pu kept looking at Zhao Kong.

"I also hope that this matter is nothing, so as not to bear the name of negligent discipline on the old palace master's back. It's just that the shopkeeper of the Li family's pharmacy swore that the lower officials had to come, and hoped that the old palace master would give him convenience, and he would bring this Zhao Kong back to the palace for questioning. Shen Pu said.

Zhao Kong on the side was already in a cold sweat.

Yesterday, he did lead a few people to the Li family pharmacy, at first, it was just to grab a few pills, and by the way, get some silver taels, but later, I accidentally saw the girl who called the girl, I thought that with the name of this Anle Palace, I could easily get it, but I didn't expect the little girl to resist vigorously, and as a result, it attracted several medicine shop guys, which will cause this matter.

Zhao Ji thought for a while.

"Zhao Kong, what Lord Shen said is the truth?"

Zhao Kong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He knew that this Lord Shen was different from Fei Shi at the beginning, and even more different from Hu Cheng, if he was brought into the mansion, it was very likely that he would lead to many things before.

"Back to the old palace master, this matter is all because the guys in the pharmacy made trouble, ridiculed the villain, and even brought the old palace master and the little palace master, the villain was angry for a while, so he would ask people to do it. This matter is indeed a misunderstanding, and the old palace master and Lord Shen are asked to investigate. ”

Zhao Ji was so angry that he slammed the table, and the teapots on the table jumped up.

"Dog minion, this king will recruit you into the mansion because of your brother's deeds during his lifetime, and he wanted to take more care of you, but you did such an evil thing. Come on, drag it down and beat it hard. ”

With Zhao Ji's command, several family members ran in and dragged Zhao Kong to go out, but were stopped by Shen Pu.

"The old palace master is angry, this Zhao Kong should be beaten, but he feels that he still has to be taken to the lobby and punished according to the law. If the old palace master is only punished in accordance with the family law, it will inevitably attract a lot of dissatisfaction from the parties. ”

Zhao Ji groaned.

Hu Cheng felt that it was time for him to speak.

"What Lord Shen said is extremely true, Zhao Kong is really guilty of inescapability. However, Lord Shen, he must be from the Anle Palace, and the person who was beaten was not seriously injured. According to the opinion of the lower officials, he also asked the old palace master to break the fee and pay some medical expenses to the medicine shop, which was regarded as compensation. And guarantee that from now on, the subordinates will be strictly restrained, and there will be no such incidents again. ”

Shen Pu sneered in his heart.

Zhao Ji seized the opportunity.

"Lord Shen, this matter should not be too public, although this king is not in the palace of the capital, he must still be a royal person, and please Lord Shen not to pursue it too much, so as not to insult my royal face."

Shen Pu pretended to think.

"Old palace master, the lower officials think that Hu Chengfu's words are very good, and the lower officials don't want to make this matter public, but the shopkeeper of the medicine shop is very tight, if he can't give him a good explanation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to appease his heart. The lower officials thought that it was better to take Zhao Kong back to the government for the time being, apologize to the shopkeeper of the pharmacy in person, and promise him a little silver taels, and ask him not to pursue it again. I don't know what the old palace master thinks? ”

Zhao Ji thought for a while.

As long as Zhao Kong is not left in the government and then involved in other cases, this matter will not be a big deal. So he smiled and said, "Since Lord Shen intends to arrange it this way, this king will hand over Zhao Kong to you." It's just that there are a lot of affairs in my house, and there are many places to rely on Zhao Kong for everything, so I ask Lord Shen not to keep him for too long. As for the medical expenses, please ask Lord Shen and Hu Chengfu to act, and this king will not be stingy. ”

Shen Pu was very happy.

As long as Zhao Kong is brought back to the mansion, the previous case will have an eyebrow.

"Thank you, old palace master, for making it perfect." Shen Pu said, and immediately ordered the two officials who came with him to take Zhao Kong out.

Shen Pu thought that he was ahead of Master Bao this time, but he didn't expect that Lord Bao was sitting in the lobby of the mansion at this time, listening to the officials who were following Lu Bu and An Lengshuang to report to him.

In fact, what the two want to investigate is the same case, that is, to find out the real culprit behind Zhao An's death, as well as the secrets hidden behind this scene.

When Shen Pu first entered his career, he naturally did not have the scheming of Lord Bao, and directly broke into the Anle Palace to arrest people, although there were some seemingly sufficient excuses, but he also inadvertently exposed his true purpose, and inevitably caused a big disaster for himself.
