Mr. Qi said to Wu Shi, "You go to the back hall and wait."
As soon as Wu left, people from the Neishi Mansion came in.
Mr. Qi frowned, feeling very unhappy: I didn't even let you in, but you just came in swaggering. Is the threshold of my Qi Mansion so low?
Speaking of which, Huaiguzi is still smart. The threshold for entering Shangjun Courtyard is higher than the rafters. I will try to follow Huaiguzi's example next time.
Mr. Qi suddenly blushed. He was a dignified doctor of Qin and a master of etiquette. How could he imitate Huai Guzi's tricks of calculating people? It was really shameful.
Several government servants walked in slowly, cupped their hands and said with a smile: "Master Qi."
Mr. Qi nodded and said, "What do you want to do when you come to my house?"
The official said: "Master Qi, you are still pretending to be confused."
Mr. Qi said with a cold face: "What are you talking about? If you have something to say, you might as well just say it."
The servant was not polite and said directly: "Someone reported that the housekeeper of Qi Mansion died inexplicably. Mr. Qi, is this possible?"
Mr. Qi was shocked that the news spread so quickly. Who leaked it?
No matter, let’s deal with this one first.
Mr. Qi looked at him as usual and said, "There is no truth to this. The person who reported the case must be an unreasonable person."
"On the surface, it may seem like someone who is hostile to me is deliberately framing me, but in fact, it is aimed at your Internal Affairs Bureau."
I thought the government servants looked at each other in confusion and said in confusion: "Sir, where did you say this? Why is it still related to my inner history government?"
Mr. Qi continued: "You guys don't even think about it. The Internal Affairs Bureau already has so few people, and there are still not enough manpower. If you weren't targeting your Internal Affairs Bureau, why would you deliberately report a false case and torment you."
Mr. Qi was frothing as he spoke. Looking at their expressions, Mr. Qi felt that they had been deceived by him.
These young disciples still want to challenge me in my house, huh, even Zhao Teng is not here.
Several government officials frowned. They knew that Mr. Qi was a Confucian scholar and was eloquent, but they didn't expect that he was also one of the best at telling nonsense.
The government official looked at the proud Master Qi and said, "Sir, who said this was a false case? We haven't investigated it yet."
Mr. Qi stared, thinking: Oh, you are still excited, aren't you?
Mr. Qi deliberately said with a straight face: "Okay, check, let me see what you can find out."
The servant said: "Sir, since you said it is a lie, please ask the steward of Qi Mansion to come out and see it."
Mr. Qi was in a dilemma. He knew that Butler Wang would definitely not survive.
Master Qi turned to look at Xiao Lezi kneeling on the ground, and suddenly had an idea in his mind.
Master Qi pointed to the little Lezi on the ground and said, "Butler? Isn't this right here?"
"He is the steward of my Qi Mansion."
Xiao Lezi saw Master Qi pointing at him and saying he was the housekeeper, and he smiled bitterly in his heart. He wanted to find someone to pretend to be, at least someone of the same age.
But when he looked up and saw Master Qi blinking at him, Xiao Lezi reluctantly agreed.
Xiao Lezi said: "I am the steward of the Qi Mansion. I wonder what the adults want from me."
Mr. Qi nodded with satisfaction. He had also considered it. Although Xiao Lezi was a little younger, he lived in the same house with Butler Wang. No one knew the details of Butler Wang's daily necessities better than Xiao Lezi.
The servant looked at Xiao Lezi and said, "Is the housekeeper of Qi Mansion so young?"
Mr. Qi said: "The people in my house should be those who are capable and talented, rather than ranking based on age and seniority. This alone is better than your Mr. Zhao Teng. When you go back, remember my opinions and bring them to him."
The servant was too angry to say anything. After all, he was just a subordinate and still on someone else's territory.
The servant looked at Xiao Lezi and felt that he was simply a newcomer. However, since Mr. Qi said in a hurry that he was the housekeeper, if he asked, he would know that it could not be true or false.
The servant asked Xiao Lezi: "How many men, how many maids, how many rooms are there in the mansion, how many people are there in the kitchen, when will the food be served, and what is the monthly bill?"
Xiao Lezi nodded and answered one by one without thinking.
Xiao Lezi didn't lie, and he didn't want to lie. Following Butler Wang every day, he already knew these problems.
Xiao Lezi just doesn't want to be a fake butler.
Mr. Qi was very happy to see Xiao Lezi's questions and answers, and he slowly relaxed: I am still thoughtful, and there is no one more suitable than Xiao Lezi here.
The servant looked at Xiao Lezi's answer without thinking, and felt a little shaken in his heart. If it weren't for the housekeeper, he would have hesitated and said something ambiguous.
In order to regain a little face, the servant wants to ask something else?
Suddenly, he thought that when he first came in, Master Qi seemed to be scolding Xiao Lezi, and the person in front of him was still covered in injuries.
The palace official asked: "How did you get this injury, and what mistake did you make to kneel here?"
Xiao Lezi said nothing, and raised his head slightly to look at Mr. Qi.
Mr. Qi smiled and said to the servants: "Guys, my housekeeper was not careful in his work and made a mistake. I gave him a few whips and is currently being disciplined."
"Does the Internal Affairs Bureau have to intervene in the family affairs of my Qi family?"
The palace official cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare. It's just that Mr. Qi is a master of Confucianism. He usually seems gentle and gentle, but I didn't expect that his rule would be so harsh."
Master Qi said with a smile on his face: "The Qin Dynasty governs the country by law. Although I advocate the use of etiquette, but by applying some family laws, the house will be more orderly."
"I won't bother you with the little things in the house this time. If there is nothing else, I will continue to educate the people in the house."
Several government officials knew very well that this was obviously an order to expel guests.
They were confused. Is the housekeeper of Qi Mansion really okay? But the person who reported the crime was very conclusive.
Since the caliber of the Qi Mansion is so unified, we have no choice but to do this for now.
Several government servants raised their hands to Mr. Qi and said, "Sir Qi, I'm sorry to bother you. Please take my leave."
After several government servants left, Mr. Qi waved his sleeves and said, "It's really unreasonable. This Zhao Teng man came into my house so arrogantly that he didn't even know about it beforehand. I will definitely take a copy of him tomorrow."
Wu came in from the back hall and said, "My lord, please calm down. Just now, my lord was very smart and dismissed them with just a few words. I guess they don't have any evidence."
Mr. Qi said with a cold face: "If you don't tell me, I have forgotten it. Who leaked the news? I have obviously given the death order."
At this time, Jia Da and Jia Er, who were on duty at the gate of Qi Mansion, were still chatting with each other.
Jia Da said: "Why are the people from the Neishi Mansion here? Our Lord Qi has never interacted with them."
Jia Er said: "Didn't you hear just now? They seem to be investigating the death of Butler Wang."
"I don't know who leaked this matter, but Mr. Qi gave the death order."
Jia Da said with admiration: "We have been chatting here all morning about housekeeping matters, and people from the Inner Palace Mansion came in the afternoon. The efficiency of the work is really very high in the Inner Palace Palace."
Jia Da wanted to continue talking, but something suddenly occurred to him. He and Jia Er looked at each other and quickly covered their mouths.
Jia Er whispered: "What did we talk about this morning?"
Jia Da glanced at Jia Er and said slowly: "I didn't say anything."
The two looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
