Chapter 257 Where is Wei Tai gone?
If he wanted to get a job from the Ministry of Personnel, Li Chengqian could only temporarily let the vacant positions in Honglu Temple be temporarily empty, and the related matters were allowed to be shared by others.
Fortunately, Honglu Temple is indeed very leisurely and there is not much to be busy with on weekdays.
Li Chengqian was very conscientious and went to Honglu Temple on time and on time every day, and then he slept for three or five hours before it was time to get off work.
That day, I woke up again and felt so thirsty that I didn't open my eyes and said, "Little Wei Zi, pour me a cup of tea!"
But after shouting, he didn't hear Wei Tai's response for a long time. Li Chengqian shouted angrily: "Wei Tai, where are you dead? Hurry up and pour me a cup of tea!"
There was no response. In desperation, Li Chengqian had no choice but to open his eyes reluctantly and stood up from the recliner. He glanced at the empty lobby, where was Wei Tai's shadow?
"Where have you gone? Going to the toilet? It shouldn't be. I haven't come back for such a long time?" Li Chengqian said to himself in confusion. As his personal bodyguard, Li Chengqian came to Honglu Temple to serve as an employee, and Wei Tai followed him all the time. In the past, Li Chengqian slept on the recliner he specially moved, and Wei Tai would sleep on the chair beside him.
But why are they missing today?
After waiting for Wei Tai for a long time, Li Chengqian was completely lost in sleepiness, so he got up and prepared to find this kid. Speaking of which, he had been the Minister of the Honglu Temple for a few days, but he had not even inspected his territory. He just took this opportunity to take a good look at his territory!
The office of Honglu Temple is actually the mansion of a nobleman in the former Sui Dynasty. It covers a considerable area, with a total of three yards in front and back!
The lobby where Li Chengqian is located is the largest room in the first courtyard and the largest house in the entire mansion. It was originally used for guests, but it was later transformed into a special "office" for the Minister of the Honglu Temple. In this courtyard, in addition to Li Chengqian's office, there is a side room on both sides, namely the offices of Wei Ziheng and Zuo Yiming, who have been imprisoned in a prison.
The second entry into the yard was divided into separate rooms, which was the office space for other personnel of the Honglu Temple, such as the Honglu Temple Chief, the chief clerk, and the minor officials of the Honglu Temple all worked here.
The third entry into the yard, which is the inner courtyard of the original mansion, was transformed into a warehouse, and part of it was used as the residence and kitchen of the minor officials of Honglu Temple!
Li Chengqian came out of his office and first went to Wei Ziheng's office. Seeing that he was focusing on reading some books and looking very serious, he did not disturb him. He turned around and came to the second yard to see what his other subordinates were doing.
But when he arrived here, he was surprised to find that except for a few officials in the three or five rooms who were either sleepy or napping, there was no ghost in the entire second entrance yard, which seemed extremely quiet!
"No, I haven't heard of anything important today. Where have these people gone?"
With a heart full of doubt, Li Chengqian walked directly to the backyard along the corridor leading to the backyard. He wanted to see if his men all ran here to sleep lazyly!
As soon as I walked into the backyard, I saw a large number of people gathered in an open space in the backyard... This is a place where Honglu Temple staff eat and rest on weekdays.
“Up, up, up…”
"Occurrence, offense, don't be cowardly..."
"Xiao Cui is so fierce and has been taking the initiative to attack!"
"Hahaha, that's right, I don't look at what kind of Xiao Cui looks like. Who is that, you should admit defeat!"
"Hmph! It's too early to say goodbye to the victory or defeat? Some family's little Taohong is not a vegetarian!"
"Oh, look, Xiao Taohong is so powerful... Oh my God, Xiao Cui's leg was bitten off!"
"What? How is it possible? Xiao Taohong is so powerful?"
"Hahaha, I just said that Xiao Taohong is just a beast, not a coward!"
"I won, I won... Hahaha, I actually won! Since Xiao Taohong has won!"
"It's really useless! Xiao Cui looks quite big, but she didn't expect that she is also a guy who is not good at it!"
"Bah! I'm so lucky that I re-betted the heavy bet. Xiao Cui is simply a silver-like wax gun tip!"
"Hahaha, everyone Chengrong Chengrong...is anyone else who wants to compare with the capital?"
...
Looking at the scene in front of you and the voices coming from the crowd made Li Chengqian a little confused and couldn't understand what they were doing.
He didn't make any noise, and quietly walked to the crowd, poked his head to see what was doing inside. But he was a half-year-old child, and he had no advantage in height, so he couldn't see anything at all!
Therefore, he could only squeeze in, which caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the people!
"Who, what are you squeezing?"
"Oh, which bastard is scrambling?"
"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, be careful I'll beat you up!"
Everyone cursed loudly where Li Chengqian walked, but because he was short, no one noticed that the one who squeezed them was His Royal Highness!
Finally, Li Chengqian squeezed into the innermost part and saw Wei Tai looking at another man with a condescending face. There was a stone table among the two, and there was a clay pot on it! There were many copper coins scattered around the clay pot...
At this time, if Li Chengqian didn't understand what these people were doing, he would be a little sorry for his identity as a time traveler!
These people were actually fighting crickets, and they were using this to gamble! Li Chengqian was immediately angry, and the anger in his heart surged!
Immediately roared loudly: "You are so brave. You all came here to gamble while working! What should you blame!"
"ah?"
"What?"
"Teacher, Your Highness the Prince..."
"Ah! Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
"I have seen Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Only then did everyone notice Li Chengqian and hurriedly retreated and bowed to Li Chengqian!
Only Wei Tai and the man were left to look at Li Chengqian in a daze, unable to react for a moment!
"Haven, Your Highness..."
"Is it fun?"
"Okay...not fun!"
"Have you won the money?"
"No...win a little!"
"Where did the cricket come from?"
"The last one, the last one will be there, and I will catch it in the back garden of the East Palace!"
"What did you go to Honglu Temple for?"
"Press, protect Your Highness in close proximity!"
"Do you still know to protect me?" Li Chengqian smiled faintly, suddenly changed his tone and shouted angrily, "If you rely on your protection, I have died thousands of times at this time!"
"I will be in dereliction of duty, please punish me!" Wei Tai hurriedly bowed to the ground and said with a shameless look on his face.
But Li Chengqian smiled coldly and said, "Debt on duty? Haha, you said lightly, and you want to get away with it if you dereliction of duty?"
"Ah?" Wei Tai looked at Li Chengqian with some clues, thinking in his mind that he had made some big mistakes?
Li Chengqian suddenly said with a look of pain and heartbroken expression: "I think I treat you well on weekdays and provide you with delicious food and drink. I never forget you if there is anything good, but what about you? How did you treat me?"
"Your Highness..." Wei Tai lowered his head with shame on his face!
