The room was in a mess, with flowerpots and teacups spilled on the floor, and tables, chairs and benches overturned on the floor.
But Butler Wang was nowhere to be seen.
Could it be that after Butler Wang left, there was a thief in this house?
At the foot of the emperor, in the residence of important ministers, there would normally be no snitches breaking in.
The servant picked up the quilt and found Butler Wang under the bed.
The servant thought: What's going on with Butler Wang? Didn't he leave before dawn? Why did he fall asleep and sleep under the bed?
The room was so messy and things were smashed like this. Butler Wang couldn't be angry because he resented me for not returning home all night.
But if you're angry, throw something away. These things don't cost anything.
The servant complained in his heart and sighed, knowing that he would inevitably be beaten.
However, compared with going out to wander, a meal is nothing. Mr. Qi is so capable, how can the Qi Mansion be overthrown at a word?
It's probably that Butler Wang has been worrying too much during this time and got into trouble before running for his life.
Perhaps when Mr. Qi gets promoted and gets rich, and the servants in the house also benefit from it, Butler Wang will be grateful to me.
The servant thought this in his mind as he dragged Butler Wang out from under the bed.
Why is Butler Wang so heavy today? He is so heavy.
The servant carried Butler Wang to the bed, covered him with a quilt, and said, "Butler Wang, you should have a good rest. You will feel better after some sleep."
After saying that, the servant cleaned up the things in the room, closed the door and went out.
Manager Wang is not on duty, so he still needs to tell Mr. Qi.
The servant walked to the door of Lord Qi's study and hesitated. Seeing this, Lord Qi asked: "Who is there?"
The servant didn't want to go in. He had a problem since he was a child: he would tremble when he saw an official.
The servant walked in bravely: "My lord."
Lord Qi: "What's the matter?"
The servant trembled and said, "Sir, Butler Wang is unwell and is bedridden. Let me tell you on behalf of him."
Mr. Qi hummed: "Butler Wang has been absent-minded recently."
"Tell him to rest in peace and recover, and come back to take care of him after he recovers as soon as possible."
The servant lowered his head and made a sound, then retreated.
On the way back, the servant met Xiao Cui.
The servant suddenly became energetic.
Xiaocui was also very happy to see that the servant had not left Qi Mansion.
Xiaocui: "But Butler Wang is gone?"
Servant: "No, he was still sleeping when I went back in the morning. I don't know if Butler Wang was angry with me. He smashed things on the floor and went to sleep under the bed."
"I just carried Butler Wang to the bed."
Xiaocui frowned, looked at the servant, and hesitated to speak.
Xiaocui: "Butler Wang is so irritable?"
Servant: "I'm also confused. I've never seen Butler Wang lose such a temper. When I pulled him, he was very heavy. Butler Wang doesn't look fat at all."
Xiaocui's face improved a little, and she smiled and said to the servant: "Then you go and do your work quickly, I have to go and wait on the lady."
The servant nodded and left happily.
The servant thought to himself: If he left the Qi Mansion, where would he find such a caring person as Xiaocui? He smiled at me so many times today, tsk tsk, luckily he didn't listen to Butler Wang.
When the servant returned in the afternoon, Butler Wang was still lying on the bed, and his posture had not changed. It was exactly the same as the posture the servant had put for him in the morning.
The servant was shocked, thinking something would happen, so he ran over and called Butler Wang for a while, but there was no response at all.
The servant became more and more frightened. His hand touched Butler Wang's neck. It was cold and had no warmth at all.
The servant screamed in fright and squatted on the ground.
Could it be that Butler Wang died last night and I was the only one living with him? Can this be explained clearly?
Sleepwalking, yes, sleepwalking, I sleepwalked outside last night, and the little pockmarked guy who was sweeping the floor in the morning saw me.
The servant felt very sad. As soon as he stood up, he felt nauseous and vomited out all the food he had eaten for lunch.
The servant staggered out and ran out, shouting that he was dead, he was dead.
He ran straight to Master Qi's study, and Master Qi came out after hearing the chaos outside.
Mr. Qi: There are really no rules. If Butler Wang is not on duty for one day, you will have no rules.
Mr. Qi frowned: "What are you talking about? Are you paying attention to me?"
Everyone was shocked and suddenly became quiet.
Only the servant lay on the ground crying and shouting: "He's dead, he's dead..."
Mr. Qi frowned, with an angry look on his face, and slapped the servant in the face hard: "How presumptuous!"
Since the death of the young master, the Qi family has been very taboo about the word death. This is an unwritten rule of the Qi family. The servants came late and may not know it yet.
Mr. Qi shook his sleeve angrily: "Come here! Beat me!"
Everyone got out of the way, and the two big men directly pushed the servant to the ground. Just as the board was about to fall, Wu walked over.
Wu Shi said calmly: "Wait."
Mr. Qi frowned and looked at Wu Shi.
Wu Shi said slowly: "Sir, please calm down. Why are you angry over a servant? You should first listen to what he has to say before fighting."
Mr. Qi nodded and kicked the servant: "Hurry up and say it."
The servant had been nervous when he saw an official since he was a child, but now he looked even more sluggish when faced with the angry Master Qi and was slapped again.
The servant trembled and said: "Dead, dead, then, over there."
The servant said, pointing in the direction where he lived.
Seeing this, Wu said, "You guys, go and take a look."
Several other handymen went in the direction the servant said.
After a while, he came back and Master Qi shook his head: "I found nothing."
Mr. Qi frowned and looked down at the servant, who was still mumbling something.
Mr. Qi: "Have you found it in the room?"
Several handymen lowered their heads and said, "No."
Mr. Qi: "Why don't you go quickly? Also, call everyone over and see who is missing!"
"I really can't let you rest for a day."
The handyman checked from room to room. When he found Butler Wang's room, he knocked on the door respectfully, but there was no response.
The handyman pushed the door open and walked in. He looked around and saw Butler Wang still sleeping under the quilt. He shouted twice but there was no response.
The handyman walked over, lowered his head and said, "Manager Wang, Mr. Qi is calling you, please don't sleep."
The handyman pushed Butler Wang, but there was still no reaction.
When I touched Butler Wang's neck, it felt cold!
Several of the handymen looked at each other, ran out, and crawled in front of Mr. Qi in panic.
The servant said: "Sir, sir, Wang, Butler Wang..."
Lord Qi held back his temper and asked, "What's wrong with Butler Wang?"
Handyman: "He, he's out of breath."
Master Qi was shocked: "What did you say?!"
Mr. Qi walked to Butler Wang's room and saw that he was motionless, but he was actually dead on the bed.
I turned around and saw a bed next to me.
Master Qi asked: "Who lives with Butler Wang?"
The handyman said, it's the servant Xiao Lezi who was slapped by you just now.
Mr. Qi gritted his teeth and whispered: "Come here, tie him up!!!"
