Chapter 35: The Discord (4)

Thorn Mansion Study

Liu Hong, dressed in a green coat and a small hat, was looking down to read the file, and Steward Cheng was standing aside.

"Sir. The maid Xiaoju saw that the old man and the housekeeper were here, so she said softly, and there was a lack of confidence in her tone.

"What's the matter?" Liu Hong looked up and saw that it was the maid Xiaoju, lowered his head again, and only asked lightly.

Xiao Ju stepped forward with small steps and said weakly: "Master, yesterday I was keeping an eye at Madame's place and found out. ”

"Did you find anything?" Liu Hong raised his head, put down the pen in his hand again, and stared at Xiao Ju with a pair of wolf eyes.

Xiao Ju dodged the dazzling light in Liu Hong's eyes, and replied a little cautiously: "I found that Li Biao went to Mrs. Biao's room again, and he looked a little drunk when he came out. ”

"Oh, when did Li Biao go, and when did he leave, what did he do in the room? Do you know? Also, you can be found in the North Wing by keeping an eye there?" Liu Hong asked several questions in one breath.

"Back to the master, that Li Biao went at three o'clock and left at two o'clock, I saw that he was very sober when he came, but when he left, he was carrying a silver bag in his hand, he was a little drunk, and he walked staggeringly. Xiao Ju told what she saw with her own eyes in detail.

"Well, that's a good job. Liu Hong nodded, leaned back in the chair, a trace of ruthlessness in the wolf's eyes gradually dimmed, and praised this Xiaoju for a rare time.

"Steward Cheng, reward. Liu Hong gestured to the housekeeper, and Steward Cheng hurriedly took out the usual money, stepped forward and handed it to Xiao Ju: "Here! This is the master's reward, hurry up and accept it." ”

"Xiao Ju, thank you for the reward!" Xiao Ju didn't expect this unexpected joy, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Do a good job in the future! Madame, you still keep a close eye on me! Do a good job, and the official will still be rewarded. ”

"Alright, you can step back first. Liu Hong waved his hand, and Xiao Ju respectfully retreated.

After Xiao Ju retreated, Liu Hong's face was extremely cold, and a pair of wolf eyes flashed with a fierce light that wanted to eat people.

Okay, you Li Biao!! who gave you such guts, but you dare to hook up with my mother-in-law under my Liu Hong's nose and --- under my Chen Guangrui's nose, entangled and entangled, hum! The tiger is not powerful, you are a sick cat as an official? I will tell you to see my Chen Guangrui's methods!

Steward Cheng also knew the ins and outs of the matter next to him, and his mind suddenly spread out, and he said in his heart: In the mansion, he and Li Biao, the head of the nursing home, have always been on good terms, and the two regard each other as competitors, and they have been secretly competing, but Li Biao is an old man in the mansion who followed the master when he entered the mansion, and it is inconvenient to talk about him in ordinary times.

At this time, seeing that Liu Hong was already very resentful of Li Biao, he took the opportunity to fall into the well and slandered Li Biao from the side: "Master, this Li Biao is too unreasonable! I don't understand the rules and etiquette in our house, it seems that what is the difference between doing this kind of behavior and molesting the housewife of my house?!"

"Moreover, this Li Biao relies on himself to be an old man in the mansion, and often does not take others in his eyes, and looks down on me Cheng Mou, but who in this mansion has no complaints against him Li Biao? This Li Biao is also a person who loves money like his life, is mean and cunning, and a person once told me privately that he has deducted the wages of his family members many times. ”

"Oh, is this really the case?" Liu Hongwolf's eyes narrowed, and his heart became more and more annoyed.

"There really is such a thing! Master, Li Biao has led dozens of families in the house to take care of the family and nursing home, and it has been many years, right? Now, these family members call Li Biao the head of the house on weekdays, and they must be called the head of the house, but they only know that there is Li Biao, but they don't know that there is a master!

Seeing that Liu Hong's expression became more and more solemn, Steward Cheng added another fire: "If this goes on like this for a long time, the safety of our house is really worrying!"

Liu Hong slapped the table and stood up: "Steward Cheng!"

Steward Cheng hurriedly bowed his hand: "Master, please command!"

Liu Hong's heart was already determined to move that Li Biao.

"I'll leave this matter of Li Biao to you with full authority to deal with! Liu Hong commanded in a deep voice.

"Yes, sir. Steward Cheng agreed, his mood was very happy, and he walked out of the study briskly to do what Liu Hong had explained.

Here, Li Biao was still in the dark, still leading the family to inspect the inside and outside of the mansion, and occasionally go to do some things in the north wing, but he didn't realize that there were already many crises and murderous opportunities around him.

Steward Cheng's face was grim, he paced square steps, paced along the path from the study, and came to Li Biao unhurriedly along the way.

"Li Biao, on the orders of the master, from today onwards, you will not do the errand of the head of the nursing home, and let the master arrange it. In front of all the family members, Steward Cheng announced the order.

"What??? !!" When Li Biao heard this, his pupils dilated, and his body was as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was stunned on the spot!

All the family members under Li Biao were also surprised, and they exchanged ears and talked about it for a while.

The housekeeper was in front of everyone, but he didn't leave any affection for Li Biao, and stretched out his hand: "Li Biao, hurry up and hand over the bronze medal and saber." ”

It turned out that the head of the nursing home in this house was specially equipped with a bronze plaque to show that he was different from ordinary family members.

Li Biao forcibly suppressed his anger and arched his hand: "Steward Cheng, I, Li Biao, have always been conscientious in my duties and have never made any mistakes, why do you want me to hand over the bronze medal and saber?"

"How do I know this?! Cheng is just acting on orders, if you are not satisfied, just go to the master to complain. The butler replied coldly with a proud face.

"I?!。。 Li Biao wanted to be frenzied, and wanted to be unfriendly with this housekeeper, everyone in the house knew that if he fell out on the spot, it would be very disadvantageous to himself, so he once again suppressed the anger in his heart, silently untied the bronze medal and saber, and handed it to Steward Cheng.

The butler weighed the saber and bronze medal presented by Li Biao in his hand, felt the heavy weight of the saber, and said loudly in front of the family: "Okay, brothers, I will be the head of this nursing team from today onwards.

Faced with the astonishing changes, the dozens of family members in the nursing home looked at each other for a while, not knowing what to do.

Li Biao was extremely angry with this steward Cheng in his heart, and he didn't want to stay here and be humiliated in vain, so he no longer paid attention to the butler, and strode towards the study, wanting to go to Liu Hong to reason.

After a while, Li Biao arrived at the door of Liu Hong's study.

After a little hesitation, Li Biao still stepped into the door and saw Liu Hong closing his eyes on the chair under the bookcase.

At this time, Liu Hong, who was recuperating with his eyes closed, was wearing an official hat, a row robe, a white face with hanging eyebrows, and a mustache on his face.

Li Biao was originally full of resentment, and wanted to find Liu Hong in the past and Chen Guangrui today to theorize, but at this time, he felt a sense of emptiness for no reason, as if the state official in front of him and the former captain Liu Hong seemed to have always been two people: one was an official!
