I

Goose Lake, Fei House.

Due to the dispute between the second child and the third child to divide the family and property, Ehu Fei's main clan has been divided into three.

The household registration is divided, and the house is shared.

Moreover, the boundaries of the scope are clearly drawn, which courtyard belongs to which family, and generally they will not randomly drop by.

Two-thirds of the domestic slaves left, and those who remained were all converted into employment contracts. The shopkeepers of the shops, who used to belong to domestic slaves, are now all hired workers.

"Papa..."

"Ah! Ma'am, don't hit me, the servant will be beaten to death!"

"Screaming so loudly, I think you are far from death!"

"..."

The second son, Fei Yingqi, has a shrewd wife, the Zheng family, who has never dared to take a concubine.

This shrewd wife is very fierce. She has beaten and killed domestic slaves before, but she still hasn't restrained herself much.

Mrs. Zheng was sitting in the hall at the moment, holding a bamboo stick, and said with a stern expression: "Do you know what's wrong?"

"I know I'm wrong, this servant knows I'm wrong." The maid knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound even if she wanted to sob.

Mrs. Zheng sneered and said: "You bitch, you are becoming more and more lawless. Don't think that you bitches will be able to turn around if Brother Han releases the slaves. In this E Lake, it is still my Fei family who has the final say, Brother Han He is also the son-in-law of the Fei family. If you report to the officials, from the village to the town to the county, which official would dare to disgrace my Fei family?"

The maid repeatedly begged for mercy: "Ma'am, please forgive me, this servant will not dare, this servant will not dare!"

"Hmph, don't fight for three days, and go to the house to remove the roof tiles," Zheng muttered and complained, "This brother Han is really good. It's all right to divide the family and property, and distribute it to your own family. The land is distributed to the lowly and shabby outsiders. , turning your elbows outward. The worst thing is to release you house slaves!"

The maid kowtowed immediately: "Your servant is born to belong to Madam, and to die is Madam's ghost. In the next life, I will serve Madam even as an ox or a horse."

"You're smart, go back." Zheng Shi just gave up.

However, Fei's treatment of the slaves in the whole Goose Lake is relatively normal. Even Mr. Fei, who framed Zhao Han, was still kind and would not beat and scold his servants frequently.

Only the Zheng family of the second family is almost abusive.

After Zhao Han's land distribution order and slave release order, many of the old masters, bosses, and domestic slaves in the third courtyard were willing to stay and become servants.

Especially for married women, their husbands were allocated the land, and they could work as servants in Fei's family to make money, and their small life became more and more prosperous.

Only in the courtyard of the second child, all the slaves ran away, and there was no one left, and Zheng's abuse was unbearable.

After the work of dividing the land was over, the missionary officers withdrew collectively, leaving only the missionary department in the county government. Although the farmer's association was formed, its key members were transferred in various ways. Now the village head and the farmer's association dare not offend the Fei family.

Therefore, the Zheng family forcibly recalled the former servants.

She didn't dare to provoke those with too strong a temper, but only dared to call back those with weak personalities. They were forced to sign employment contracts, and they were beaten severely if they disobeyed. The number of beatings was even more than before.

"Third Master, Zhao Tianwang is back!"

It was already dark, and the youngest Fei Yingke was in the concubine's room, when she heard the news, she hurriedly got up and put on her clothes.

The second wife's first wife is fierce and has never dared to take concubines.

The third wife's main wife is weak, she has ten concubines and has given birth to six sons and thirteen daughters.

The concubine's room is not allowed to divide the land!

This is the rule set by Zhao Han, the purpose is to let the concubine leave voluntarily, and not to be greedy for a man's power and money.

The third eldest, Fei Yingke, is a lover, with one wife and ten concubines. No one wants to leave, and everyone thinks he is a good husband.

Fei Yingke put on her clothes, opened the door and asked, "Where is Zongzhen Zhao?"

The male servant replied: "It seems that I don't want to interfere with the merchant passenger ship. It stopped between Hekou Town and Ehu Town and didn't disembark."

Fei Yingke said: "It's getting late, don't bother me. Prepare your etiquette, set off at midnight tonight, and meet you by the river tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I'll get ready now." The maid left immediately.

Although Fei Yingke coaxed everyone to be filial, she forced her father to divide the family property. But he is really kind to his wives and concubines, and his sons and daughters are also filial. Three sons have been sent to be officials, and two of them will definitely be promoted this time.

The servants in the yard got busy, and they were in full swing, just like a New Year's holiday.

Fei Yingqi, the second child in the yard next door was woken up, and asked confusedly, "Is this the third child's house being burglarized?"

"It's so noisy, and they don't let people sleep!" Zheng sat up and cursed.

Fei Yingqi was made even more upset, why didn't this wicked woman die? He was very envious of his third brother having ten concubines. He took one in his early years and was beaten to death by his wife.

Seeing that her husband didn't speak, Zheng scolded: "Are you dead? Why don't you go and see what's going on outside!"

Fei Yingqi could only shout: "Xilan, Xilan!"

After shouting a few times in response, Mrs. Zheng scolded: "This lowly servant girl has only been beaten up, and she pretends to be deaf and dumb and refuses to listen."

The couple could only get up by themselves, and when they got dressed and went out, they found that all the servants in their yard had run away, and the servants under their son and daughter were gone.

Fei Yingqi muttered, "I'm afraid something serious has happened."

Mrs. Zheng was terrified: "Could it be the officers and soldiers from Zhejiang who came here? I've said it, I've said it, Zhao Han is a domestic slave, how can he beat the officers and soldiers of the imperial court..."

"Shut up!" Fei Yingqi said angrily.

"You dare to yell at me?"

Mrs. Zheng directly began to mourn: "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow..."

"Too lazy to know as much as you!" Fei Yingqi said gloomily.

Zheng's usual trick is to cry, make trouble and hang himself. If this trick fails, I will go back to my mother's house and cry. If it still doesn't work, then go outside and cry and make noises, picking the best time for Fei Yingqi to get together with friends.

After coming down several times, Fei Yingqi was ashamed in front of her friends, and never dared to provoke the shrewd wife at home again.

Fei Yingqi ran towards the third younger brother's courtyard, only to see that the palanquin, gift boxes and many other items had been dug out and placed in the courtyard outside.

"Is this something serious?" Fei Yingqi asked.

A servant smiled and said, "Zhao Tianwang has returned to Qianshan Mountain, he is on the boat by the river. Second Master, you must be careful, I am afraid that some servants will complain in the middle of the night."

"Zhao... Zhao..."

Great fear arose in Fei Yingqi's heart, he knew where the servants in his yard had gone.

It's not that some servants are going to sue, but all the servants are on the way to sue!

"It's dead, it's dead, it's dead."

Fei Yingqi walked back in a daze, just in time to bump into Mrs. Zheng who was chasing her.

Mrs. Zheng asked, "Did the officers and soldiers from Zhejiang come here?"

"Snapped!"

Fei Yingqi slapped him away and cursed: "Bitch, you made me suffer!"

Mrs. Zheng was dazed by the slap, but she didn't dare to make a fuss. She covered her face and asked cautiously, "What happened?"

"Zhao Han is back, and all the servants at home have run away!" Fei Yingqi just wanted to cry now, he felt that he was such a failure.

There are three brothers in the family, and the eldest brother is very successful, so there is no need to say more.

Although the third brother has no ability, he has a wife and ten concubines, with many children and a harmonious family. The servants in the courtyard are also willing to stay and continue to be servants for the third brother. Wherever they go, they will hug each other and enjoy the scenery.

And what about myself?

Just a shrewd wife with a yellow face, crying everywhere to embarrass him. All the servants were beaten and left, and if he wanted to command a few servants, he had to use force to force the servants to come back as servants.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo," Fei Yingqi cried out suddenly, beating her chest and stamping her feet, "Why is my life so miserable? Father, what kind of marriage did you arrange for me? Virtuous and virtuous, everyone is a lady, and the matchmaker talked about it. With this wicked woman? Woooooooooooooooo..."

Mrs. Zheng was stunned for a long time, and screamed: "Hurry up, chase those low maids back and lock them up!"

Heideng is blind, it's strange to be able to recover.

Fei Yingqi laughed loudly, went back to the room to get the silver, leisurely held up the lantern, and walked to Ehu Town to visit the kilns.

He was under the control of his shrewd wife, and he hadn't touched another woman for a long time. It's probably not good this time, go enjoy a moment of tenderness first, and ignore other troubles for now.

"Where are you going?" Mrs. Zheng chased after her.

"roll!"

Fei Yingqi kicked it out, and said in a relaxed mood: "Master, go drink flower wine, you just wait at home to die!"

Mrs. Zheng was kicked to the ground, terrified, and then shouted: "Who is it for who has been controlling you? It's not to let you get close to women and concentrate on taking the imperial examination. If you fail the imperial examination, I will let you take care of it carefully." Family business, our family's business is doing better than the third one! Just look at it, the third one will ruin the family property sooner or later, the property under our name is enough for ten generations of wealth!"

Fei Yingqi turned around and roared angrily: "No matter how good the business is, what about the riches and honors of the EMI? Man, life is aggrieved, and you have to question him when you go out to meet friends, why don't you just die!"

The husband and wife broke up unhappy.

Mrs. Zheng called her children, searched the courtyard everywhere, and finally found four strong men in the firewood room.

Those were the evil slaves she had raised, and they usually relied on these four people to be fierce, but now they were tied up and stuffed into the woodshed.

"You four, quickly chase him back!" Mrs. Zheng stomped her feet anxiously.

The old man Fei Yuanyi had also been woken up.

Ask about the situation, and let the slaves prepare as well. When he went out in the middle of the night, he dared not sit in a sedan chair, and was assisted on the road with a walking stick.

No matter what the previous relationship was, he had to go to see him.

However, the servants in the second courtyard collectively fled at night and ran wildly towards Hekou Town.

"Ouch!"

"Get up, I'll help you."

Everyone helped each other, and after passing through Ehu Town, they finally felt relieved and walked slowly.

"Will King Zhao care about this?"

"Brother Han is righteous, so he must take care of it."

"But he is the son-in-law of the Fei family, and most likely he wants to speak for the Fei family."

"All the towns and villages say that Brother Han is a good person, and he is for the poor."

"It's different when we meet the Fei family. Let's go to the village chief first, and then the town mayor, who dares to meddle in his own business? Not only did he not care, but someone tipped off the news, and the good son was beaten to death by that wicked woman."

"If you don't believe Brother Han, who else can you trust? You have to risk your life to gamble!"

"..."

More than a dozen servants finally vaguely saw a fleet of ships by the river with apprehension.

"stop!"

Most of the soldiers did not disembark, but troops were stationed on the shore, and there were soldiers standing guard at the front and back.

These servants immediately knelt down: "Jun Ye, I know Zhao Tianwang, we are here to avenge justice!"

"Brother Han, help!"

"Brother Han, I'm Fei Gu, I've talked to you!"

"..."
