Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

The nine stewards who were still confident and proud in the morning gathered again at the Gufu on Lingsheng Street, but this time the nine stood in two groups, the three stewards who had been copied were kneeling in front, and the remaining six stood behind them with their heads bowed.

Li Baolu invited the idiot and the others to have a good meal in the restaurant, and made an appointment to continue the family raid tomorrow, and made a strict plan for dividing the spoils, and then went back to their respective homes.

As soon as she got to the door, she saw nine people kneeling or standing, surrounded by neighbors who were quietly looking at her. There was too much movement in her house today, and it was hard not to be noticed.

Since noon, there have been coolies pushing things and escorting people, old and young, men and women. Although their mouths are blocked, there is still some noise. Everyone knows that the Gu residence is the new champion. He was promoted to be a distinguished person who served as a four-rank servant and lectured on a bachelor's degree after he became an official. He was the only person in their three streets and nine alleys, so everyone was curious about what happened.

Seeing Li Baolu come back, some enthusiastic neighbors called to stop her, saying that they could ask them for help if they were in trouble.

Li Baolu thanked all the way with a smile, and went in without looking at the nine people at the door.

Hearts closed the door with a bang, leaving the nine people outside in shock.

They were slapped in the face, and the master didn't see them, the nine of them didn't dare to leave even though they were dizzy from hunger, but continued to bow their heads or kneel or stand.

Erlin and Shun Xin came up to meet her, "Madam, you are back."

Li Baolu looked at Shun Xin first, "Is your son scared?"

"No," Shun Xin said with bright eyes: "The madam should have called my young master back. If the master has something to do, the disciple will do his best, and the wife is the young master's mistress, so she should order the young master."

Li Baolu laughed loudly, looked at Shun Xin who was full of regret and smiled and said: "You want to join in the fun, right? Stop talking nonsense, you don't need to worry about such trivial matters, you go and eat, we have already eaten outside."

Only then did he turn his head to look at Erlin, "Why are you coming home, uncle?"

"The uncle went to the prince's mansion, and he knew that his wife had raided the house of the stewards, so he asked the younger one to come back and help you."

"Liu Hong's slave status has been settled?"

Erlin immediately took out a deed of selling his life, which had already been stamped with a red seal, "The people in the yamen heard that the young one was from the Hanlin Servant's Scholars' House, so they helped him out without saying a word."

Li Baolu opened the deed of sale, said with a sarcasm, "Excellent." She turned around and went to the side.

Li Baolu rented the neighbor next door at a monthly rent of five taels of silver, only for one month, and it was specially used to lock people up.

The door opened again, and the nine of them raised their heads and looked at Li Baolu eagerly.

Li Baolu smiled at them and said, "You guys also come and listen." After speaking, she went to the next door first.

The nine hesitated for a moment and then followed.

The three family members who were in charge and the servants who bought them were all tied up and thrown in the yard. They were frightened, frightened and hungry. When they saw Li Baolu and the head of the house coming in, they couldn't help but widen their eyes. He looked at Li Baolu with fear and resentment at the same time.

Li Baolu looked around, then turned to Erlin and said, "Go and light up the lamp, it will illuminate the whole yard."

Shunxin ran over to help watch the fun, and the enthusiastic Li Baolu brought a chair and sat down on the steps.

Li Baolu pointed to the servants of the three housekeepers and said: "They are just slaves among slaves, this matter has nothing to do with them, untie them."

Hongtao stepped forward to untie the servants, they went to see their master in horror, finally crawled decisively behind Li Baolu and stood still, two or three clever ones went to help Erlin light the lamp.

They are servants bought by the master, but the master is the servant of the Gu family. In theory, everything belonging to the slave belongs to the master, so they should also be the servants of the Gu family.

They comforted themselves so much in their hearts, and rebelled with peace of mind.

Li Baolu didn't care about them anymore, she turned to Heart and said, "Go and bring Liu Hong along."

Liu Hong had a lot of injuries, and because she was young, Li Baolu didn't tie her up, so naturally she didn't let her stay with them in this yard, but sent her to Qingling to take care of her.

Liu Hong was quickly brought here, and the servants were finally all together.

She looked up at the steward standing below, and said with a half-smile: "I know you are from the Zhongyonghou Mansion, and the Zhongyonghou Mansion's family has a great career, and there are always laxities, so there are a lot of tricks under you. I am not An unkind person, I don't want to pursue the past, so I didn't check the accounts immediately after the branch."

"I don't even think about how much surplus you left me in your account. Even if the account is flat, there is no balance, and I can even accept some losses. After all, you used to be from the Zhongyonghou Mansion. I don't want to pursue the past. , and I don’t want to waste that time, as long as you abide by my rules from now on.” Li Baolu looked at them and smiled, “It’s just that I didn’t expect that I left a road for you, but you have to open another one yourself, so that you can’t die on that road Exactly the opposite of what I left you with!"

Li Baolu leaned forward slightly, and asked them with a smile, "Do you think that in the end, you slaves will follow my master, or will my master have to follow your ass?"

The faces of the nine people were pale and their bodies were crumbling.

They want to justify, want to be wronged, but the things and people on the ground are like a sharp knife hanging over the heads of everyone, no matter what they say is sophistry!

Li Baolu leaned back on the chair regretfully and sighed: "At first, I wanted to let the past go, but since there is a way for you not to go, then I have no choice but to push the way, everyone is clean, and everything will be fine from the beginning."

She said with a serious face: "The morals of the world are so kind to me. Your whole family is a servant who signed a death contract. As long as I don't kill you, why can't I do it?"

The nine people knelt on the ground with a "thump", kowtowed and said, "Madam, forgive me, we know we were wrong, and we will never dare again!"

Li Baolu nodded with a smile and said: "It's easy to say, easy to say, after this matter is over, our master and servant will run in and run in together. Don't worry, I only ask for money, and I will not kill you. As long as you abide by the rules from now on, when the anger in my heart subsides Enough."

The nine people didn't believe it at all, and at that moment, the steward of Baoding broke the boat and said: "Ma'am, I did make false accounts. I deserve to die, I deserve to be beaten. I ask my wife to give me a chance to make amends. Tomorrow, I will go back and take care of you." Bring the original account book, and the lack of money will be made up by the slaves."

Li Baolu nodded gratifiedly, "Yes, yes, his attitude is commendable. You all have to learn from him in the future, and you must continue to carry forward this spirit of admitting mistakes and correcting them when you know your mistakes." However, she sighed regretfully: "But This time there is no need, because Xia Xiang, who copied your family, has already set off, and Baoding is not far from the capital, so he will arrive in one night, so..."

"But it doesn't matter, anyway, you have to sell your iron, I will do it for you, so you don't need to bother."

The man's body went limp, and he fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

What a bolt from the blue!

Because Baoding is far away from the capital city, and this property is the private property of the Hou Ye, the Hou Ye hardly cares about it, so he only needs to ensure that there is some surplus every quarter, and he doesn’t need to take care of the wives in the house, so in fact, he is greedy. There are only more things than the three stewards of the capital, nothing less.

If the house was raided, the man shuddered and looked at Li Baolu with a pale face.

Seeing that people were scared, Li Baolu was satisfied, and the anger in her heart also subsided a lot, then she looked at the people who were still tied up in the yard, and said with a smile: "I don't keep idlers here, your house searched them out. There are many things that cannot be resold in the shops, so tomorrow you will all go to the streets and sell those things as second-hand. If there are sabotage or other tricks, I will not follow. Now that the busy farming is over, there is no need for coolies in the village , then I can only send you to the nearest mine.”

She smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'm not selling you to mines, but leasing you to mines. I don't want much. I just need to cover your board and lodging. You don't need any wages. You will return to Zhuangzi to work when you harvest summer." .”

The hearts of the people who had only had a glimmer of hope were chilled, and they looked at Li Baolu in horror. They were not afraid of being sold to mines. Really, not to mention that they had hidden funds to redeem themselves, they would go to the Zhongyonghou Mansion. They can also find someone to redeem them, even if they send them to officials, although they will lose face and suffer, but that is temporary, they know a lot of secrets about the masters, and they also have contacts with the masters in the mansion. The chief steward at the top has friendship, and he can find a way to get out after being sent to the official.

But now Li Baolu is not willing to send them to officials, nor is she willing to sell them, but wants to torture them slowly with the deed of sale.

Their life and death were in Li Baolu's hands, and everyone felt chills all over their bodies. She was clearly a young girl, but she was as vicious as a devil in hell.

Li Baolu got up, nodded slightly to the nine people and said: "I don't think you are in the mood to go back to the inn. I will ask you to check out. You will stay in the yard tonight and appease your family." Li Baolu smiled Fei smiled and glanced at the woman and child who were staring at her angrily, and said meaningfully: "My patience is very limited. Also, I welcome you to join the ranks of escaped slaves."

The nine fell to the ground, shaking their bodies and said, "I dare not!"

Li Baolu didn't argue with them, got up and left.

dare not?

Dare to bet so much money, what else would they not dare to do?

Li Baolu didn't ask anyone to guard them, what she said was true, she was really happy for them to be fugitive slaves, then it would be justifiable for her to kill or beat them, but it's a pity that they were too timid, maybe they were too jealous of Li Baolu. Nothing happened at night, no one escaped, and no one made trouble.

Li Baolu felt sorry for this.

When Gu Jingyun came back, the next door was extremely quiet. He stood in the yard and looked at the next door for a long time before looking at Erlin suspiciously, "Are they locked on the opposite side?"

Er Lin bent down respectfully and bowed his head, saying, "Master, Madam didn't lock them up, she just let them live there."

Gu Jingyun said thoughtfully: "It seems that Baolu scared them a lot."

Er Lin was silent, not only because he was so frightened, but because he, an outsider, was almost frightened to death, and his wife really didn't suffer at all.

When Gu Jingyun pushed the door and entered the room, he was almost blinded by the gold and silver in the room. The light reflected on the gold and silver pierced his eyes. In addition, Li Baolu was sitting in the shadow, and it took Gu Jingyun a while to find her in the room.

Seeing her sitting in the corner of the kang, counting the pile of gold and silver in front of her with a smile on her face, he couldn't laugh or cry, stepped forward and tapped her forehead and said: "I knew it..."
