The experience of living in the cold palace

Chapter 29: They are all old foxes (please collect and read)

Manager Zhang's voice echoed throughout the small courtyard.

at once.

The small courtyard, which was originally noisy, gradually became quiet.

Manager Zhang stood up and his voice spread in all directions: "Everyone has heard that the health elixir that Eunuch Xu put in the house was stolen. The person who stole it has eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard. Today, our family must Catch this thief!"

"Now, you pair up and search each other's bodies to see who has this health elixir hidden on them."

"Whoever finds this health elixir will be rewarded 50 taels of silver!"

When they heard that there was still a reward, all the eunuchs and maids' eyes lit up, and they didn't care about being searched.

Instead, he hoped that he could find the health elixir from the other party.

Eunuch Chen asked at the right moment: "Eunuch Xu, what does your health-preserving pill look like? If someone else also buys the health-preserving pill, wouldn't they be wronged?"

Eunuch Xu frowned: "Our family's health elixir has a cross mark carved on it. The health elixir bought by others cannot have this mark. Secondly, this health elixir is worth 20 taels. Can ordinary eunuchs and palace maids afford it?"

"That's true. Let's check. Eunuch Xu can come and search our family first." Eunuch Chen smiled.

Eunuch Xu shook his head: "Eunuch Chen's character is trustworthy to our family, so the search will be waived."

Manager Zhang waved his hand: "Okay, let's start searching each other, and search carefully. Later, our family will randomly select a few eunuchs and maids for verification. If anyone dares to cover up, don't blame our family for serving."

then.

A group of eunuchs and maids began to search each other, even the underwear underneath.

Of course, this is a drama performed by Mr. Xu, so it is impossible to really find the health-preserving pill on anyone.

After a while.

Seeing that no health-preserving pills were found, Manager Zhang couldn't help but look at Eunuch Xu: "Hey, Old Xu, it's hard to guard against thieves. The thieves have probably eaten all your health-preserving pills. Our family also wants to There is no better way, otherwise, if our family pays back ten taels of silver, we will congratulate you in advance on your retirement."

Li Xuan's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this.

It seems that Manager Zhang also knows that nothing can be found by searching each other's bodies.

Doing this is nothing more than showing off to Eunuch Xu.

Then he added another ten taels of silver to prove that he was doing things fairly and decently, and that no one else could fault him.

I have to say that these eunuchs are all old foxes.

Eunuch Xu sighed: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your hard work. This can only be done like this."

at this time.

Zhao Fang suddenly took a step forward and said, "Manager Zhang, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."

Manager Zhang frowned and said calmly: "Your name is Xiao Fangzi, right? If you have anything to say, please tell me."

He originally planned to let this little Fangzi take over as a steward. He also knew that this little Fangzi was the adopted son of Eunuch Xu, so he could just do it as a favor.

But I never thought that Xiao Xuanzi would be appointed by Manager Lin to go to Kunning Palace to participate in the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival. This was obviously a disguised way for Xiao Xuanzi to succeed the next manager.

In addition, Xiao Xuanzi defeated Xiao Fangzi in the competition, and he had no reason to choose Xiao Fangzi as the steward.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of this banquet to announce Xiaoxuanzi's successor as steward, so that he could arrange the next work in advance.

But I never thought that something like this would happen midway.

Zhao Fang quickly said: "Yes, I was practicing martial arts outside last night and happened to see a sneaky figure entering Eunuch Xu's yard. I wonder if this person stole it."

"Have you ever seen the face clearly?" Manager Zhang raised his eyebrows slightly.

Zhao Fang couldn't help but look at Li Xuan: "This one is too far away and I can't see his face, but he seems to be somewhat similar to this little Xuanzi." Whew!
Hearing this, everyone's eyes involuntarily focused on Li Xuan.

Li Xuan showed an angry look at the right time, his face turned red and said: "Xiao Fangzi, don't slander me. Are you trying to frame me because I defeated you in a previous fight?!"

Zhao Fang said: "I'm just telling you what I saw. Eunuch Xu treats me badly. I can't just refuse to report what I know?!"

Eunuch Xu also cooperated at this time: "When Xiao Fangzi said this, our family remembered that we just went to the pharmacy last night. This Xiao Xuanzi is also the eunuch who prepares medicine in the pharmacy..."

He didn't continue to say the rest, but it was self-evident.

Eunuch Xu said that he went to the pharmacy and was obviously seen by Li Xuan. Then Li Xuan took advantage of Eunuch Xu's absence in the dormitory to break into the house and steal.

Manager Zhang's expression was calm, without any change. He glanced at Li Xuan: "Xiao Xuanzi, do you have anything to say?"

Li Xuan said: "Manager Zhang, I went back to the dormitory after work last night. It is impossible to steal Eunuch Xu's health elixir."

Zhao Fang snorted coldly: "Our dormitory area is so close to Eunuch Xu's yard. We can arrive there in about a quarter of an hour. You can just go back to the dormitory after stealing and no one will notice."

"Do you have any evidence?!" Li Xuan frowned, looking angrily.

Zhao Fang said: "This elixir is not on you, but it may not have been hidden by you. Do you dare to let people check your house?!"

"If we want to check, it won't be your turn." Li Xuan snorted.

Eunuch Xu said calmly: "Xiao Fangzi is naturally not qualified. Everything depends on Manager Zhang's wishes."

Manager Zhang touched his bulging belly, glanced meaningfully at Eunuch Xu and Zhao Fang, and then looked at Li Xuan:

"Xiao Xuanzi, our family doesn't believe that you would do such a thing, but since Xiao Fangzi has seen you, in order to get rid of suspicion, shouldn't he take us to have a look, just treat it as an after-dinner snack? Eaten up."

"Since Manager Zhang said this, I naturally dare not disobey." Li Xuan bowed slightly.

aside.

Zhao Fang and Eunuch Xu looked at each other and could see the lust in each other's eyes.

"Then let's go." Manager Zhang waved his hand.

Soon.

Li Xuan took Mr. Zhang and others to his house, followed by some young eunuchs and maids who were watching the fun.

"Manager Zhang, please come in."

Li Xuan opened the door of the house.

Manager Zhang looked at Zhao Fang: "Xiao Fangzi, since you proposed the investigation, then you should do it."

"Yes." Zhao Fang said immediately.

He looked around the house confidently.

Only after a while.

His face became more and more ugly.

No? !
He had already rummaged through the cabinets, quilts, and even Li Xuan's baggage, but he didn't find the health elixir.

Didn't that Xiaojizi put the medicine bottle? !
Impossible, he has the evidence that Xiao Jizi embezzled property. Unless Xiao Jizi wants to go to jail, there is no way he will not help him!

However, he had already turned the house upside down and did not find the medicine bottle containing the health elixir.

Li Xuan sneered in his heart, looked at Zhao Fang and said: "How about it, have you checked it out?!"

　The other young eunuchs didn't know that this was a frame-up, and Manager Zhang must have known about it. However, knowing was one thing, and whether or not to expose it was another matter. He actually wanted Xiao Fangzi to take over, because Xiao Fang The son and Eunuch Chen are not on the same page. After taking office, he and Eunuch Chen can restrain and supervise each other, so as to avoid any overt and overt behavior, so he is willing to promote this matter.
