[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

"Yes." The young man replied quickly.

"As the gatekeeper, you ran away when someone came to the mansion! In such a huge mansion, the gatekeeper only left a servant to guard the door. There was no one to pass on a message to the inner courtyard! Where did you go at that time?"

Rong Enqing snorted coldly and glanced at the servant again, "And you, aren't you the servant of the gatehouse? You weren't staying in the gatehouse in broad daylight, where did you go?"

"I know I was wrong!" "I know I was wrong!" The doorman and the doorman admitted their mistakes in unison, "I will never do it again."

The clothes of both of them were a little dirty and messy, and there were obvious scars on their faces. It was obvious that they had been in a fight.

Moreover, when the two men just walked out of the crowd, Rong Enqing took a special look and saw that the two men were kneeling behind Butler Liu.

Therefore, when she entered the mansion, she could easily understand why there was only one servant at the door who was supposed to be on duty but was suddenly called to guard the door.

"Come here, drag these two bastards who neglected their duties and showed no respect to their superiors to the side and beat them severely. The steward will get twenty strokes of the board. The servant will get ten strokes of the board. Beat them severely in front of everyone!"

Rong En ordered in a cold voice.

Butler Li took the order and immediately ordered a few servants to come and drag the people away.

When the doorman and the servant heard this, they were so frightened that their souls were scared out of their wits. The doorman begged for mercy: "Madam, please spare me! I won't dare to do it again! Madam, please spare me! I won't dare to do it again!"

The servant was young after all, and he was frightened and started to cry. He cried and begged for mercy, "Madam, please spare me! I was called by Steward Wang! I didn't mean to do that! I know I was wrong! Please spare me, Madam!"

"You know how to beg for mercy now? Then why didn't you think about this moment when you neglected your duty and left the gatehouse without permission?" Rong Enqing showed no mercy. Instead, his face became even colder as the two begged for mercy.

"It can be seen that you don't even care about the master of the Yun Mansion!"

After saying that, he no longer looked at the two people and said coldly: "Why don't you drag them away?"

Butler Li did not hesitate and quickly called on several servants to drag the man to the corner of the yard.

In the corner, the benches that Xiu Zhang had asked someone to bring in had already been placed. There weren't many benches, just two.

The steward and the servant were tied to benches separately, and then a thick long wooden board began to fall on their buttocks at the same frequency.

When the first blow came down, the two men screamed and then began to beg for mercy frantically.

After a few beatings, the two began to cry for their parents, their voices were so miserable.

After the ten strokes, the boy could only cry. Fortunately, it was finally over.

After twenty blows, the manager was sweating profusely and his face was as pale as paper. He couldn't even cry.

When the two men were being beaten, Rong Enqing did not continue to deal with others. Instead, he let everyone watch the two men being beaten and let everyone listen to their screams.

Seeing everyone sweating, trembling, begging for mercy, and feeling terrified, Rong Enqing still felt unsatisfied.

After being beaten, they were taken down from the bench and lay on the ground without moving. If they moved, they would feel a sharp pain in their buttocks.

Rong Enqing ignored them and looked at the crowd and asked, "Who is the butler? Stand up."

As soon as these words came out, two people in the crowd froze, looked at each other, and suddenly pointed at each other and shouted, "He is the butler!"

One is Butler Fu and the other is Butler Liu.

Rong Enqing sneered, "Who is the housekeeper?"

"He is the butler!" they both said in unison.

This time, Butler Fu realized that something was wrong, and quickly added, "Madam, I was originally the chief butler of the mansion. But before that, the master listened to Xiao Huan, that lowly maid, and promoted Liu Qing to be the chief butler. I became the second butler and have no status in the mansion."

Rong Enqing frowned and glanced at Xiaohuan from the corner of his eyes. She was indeed a nuisance! If nothing unexpected happened, the Fourth House would become like this today, most likely because of Xiaohuan.

Seeing the deputy housekeeper's explanation, housekeeper Liu quickly followed suit and argued, "Madam, although I am nominally the housekeeper of the mansion, Fu You has the support of the madam and has always looked down on me. Until now, most of the affairs in the mansion are still decided by him. Therefore, Fu You is the real housekeeper of the mansion. Please understand, Madam!"

"In the past, when we formed gangs and fought in groups, we had to trip each other up. Now, you want to give up the position of butler to them?" Rong Enqing couldn't help but sneered, "Okay, I'll make the decision today. From now on, neither of you will have to be butlers."

Hearing this, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Unfortunately, before they could relax, they heard Rong Enqing continue, "You have the title of butler, but you don't do the job of a butler. Instead, you make the Yun Mansion a mess! I thought that since you are the butler after all, I should give you some respect in front of the servants. But now you don't even want to be a butler, it's obvious that you don't want this respect, so let it be as you wish."

The two of them looked very pale and were about to speak out their regrets, but Rong Enqing would never give them a chance to speak!

Then Rong En ordered quickly, "Drag Liu Qing and Fu You away and give them fifty lashes!"

Fifty lashes of the cane... this is aimed at taking their lives!

Didn’t you see that the doorman was beaten with twenty boards and didn’t even have the strength to move?

When they heard that they would be punished with fifty lashes, they were so frightened that they cried and begged for mercy like ghosts and wolves.

Seeing himself being dragged to the bench, and then seeing the two people lying on the ground at the gatehouse, Liu Qing completely lost his composure. He immediately broke free from the grip of the servants of the Marquis' Mansion, rushed back to Rong Enqing, kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Liu Qing said first: "Madam, please spare me! None of this was my intention! It was Miss Xiaohuan, no, it was that slave Xiaohuan, who instigated me!"

"She was the one who said that she could help me become the housekeeper of the mansion, and she was also the one who told me to kill the housekeeper!

"Yes, it's more than that. She said that the Madam was harsh on the servants, so she asked all of us to target the Madam and the people around her.

"Butler Fu is also my wife's man, so I confronted him head-on.

"Even the group fight today was caused by that bitch Xiao Huan who asked me to lead others to cause trouble!

"Madam, you are very clear-headed and wise. I was ordered around by others! Please spare my life!"

Liu Qing kowtowed as he spoke, and blood soon flowed from his forehead. He did not stop even when the blood flowed into his eyes. Compared with losing his life, what was the difference between shedding a little blood and losing one's life?

After Liu Qing said this, Xiaohuan, who had been hiding in the crowd and pretending not to exist, could no longer hide this time.
