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

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

  Li Baolu invited the silly big man to have a good meal in the restaurant, and they agreed to continue the search for the family tomorrow.

   As soon as she got to the door, she saw nine people kneeling or standing. Neighbors were quietly looking at her. There was so much movement in her house today that it was hard not to be watched.

Since noon, there have been coolies pushing things and escorting people, old and young, men and women. Although their mouths are blocked, they can't help but make a lot of noise. They all know that this Gu mansion lives in the champion of the new division. After he got out of office, he was promoted to be a noble person who served as a fourth-rank clerk, and was the only person in these three streets and nine alleys, so everyone was very curious about what happened.

   Seeing Li Baolu coming back, there are also enthusiastic neighbors who stopped her, saying that if there is any trouble, you can ask them for help.

  Li Baolu smiled and thanked all the way, and went in directly without looking at the nine people at the door.

  Heart slammed the door shut, leaving the nine people outside in shock.

   was slapped in the face, and the master didn't see them again. Even if they were dizzy with hunger, they didn't dare to leave, but continued to bow their heads or kneel or stand.

   Erlin and Shunxin came up to greet him, "Madam, you're back."

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

   "No," Shunxin said with bright eyes, "My wife should call my son back. The teacher has something to do, and the disciple should take care of him. If the wife is the son's wife, you should call the son."

  Li Baolu laughed out loud, looking at the regretful Shunxin smile: "You want to join in the fun, right? Don't be sloppy, you don't need to worry about such trivial matters, you go to dinner, we have already eaten outside."

   Then he turned to look at Erlin, "Why did you come home, sir?"

   "The uncle has gone to the Prince's Mansion. I know that the wife has taken the house of the stewards, so I asked the little one to come back to help you."

   "Liu Hong's slave registration is ready?"

  Erlin immediately took out a deed of prostitution, which was stamped with a red seal, "The people in the yamen heard that the youngest was from the Hanlin Servant who taught the academy, so they did it without saying a word."

  Li Baolu opened the contract and said with a sarcastic smile, "Excellent." She turned around and walked to the side.

  Li Baolu rented the next door for a monthly rent of 5 taels of silver, for only one month, specifically to keep people in custody.

  The door reopened, and all the nine 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 took the lead to go to the next door.

   Nine people hesitated and followed.

   The three servants in charge of the family and the servants they bought were all **** and thrown in the yard. They were frightened, frightened and hungry. When they saw Li Baolu and the head of the family come in, their eyes widened. The look in Li Baolu's eyes was both fear and resentment.

  Li Baolu looked around, turned to Erlin and said, "Go and light up the yard."

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

  Li Baolu pointed at the servants of the three stewards and said, "They are just slaves among slaves. This matter has nothing to do with them. Untie them."

  Heart stepped forward to untie the servants. They looked at their master in horror. Finally, they crawled behind Li Baolu and stood up. Two or three of them were clever enough to help Erlin light up the lights.

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

   They so comforted themselves in their hearts that they rebelled with peace of mind.

  Li Baolu didn't care about them anymore, turned her head to Hearts and said, "Go and bring Liu Hong too."

  Liu Hong had a lot of injuries on her body, and because she was young, Li Baolu didn't tie the people up, and naturally she didn't let her stay in the yard with them, but gave it to Qingling to take care of.

  Liu Hong was quickly brought over, and this time everyone was finally together.

She raised her head to look at the steward standing below, and said with a half-smile, "I know that you are from the Zhongyonghou Mansion, and the Zhongyonghou Mansion has a great business and there is always room for slack, so there are a lot of tricks under you. I'm not either. I don't want to pursue the past, so I didn't check the accounts immediately after branching."

"I don't even think about how much surplus you have left for me in your account. Even if the account is flat, there is no balance, and even some losses, I can accept it. After all, you used to be from the Zhongyong Houfu, and I don't want to investigate the past. , I don't want to waste that time, as long as you follow my rules from now on." Li Baolu looked at them with a smile, "It's just that I didn't expect that I would leave you a way, but you have to open another way by yourself, so you don't die. Just the opposite of what I left you with!"

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

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

   They want to justify and seek grievances, but the things and people on the ground are like a big knife hanging over everyone's heads, no matter what they say, it's a sophistry!

  Li Baolu sighed regretfully leaning back on the chair: "I originally wanted to let go of the past, since there is a way for you to not go, then I have to push the road completely, everyone is clean, and everything should start from scratch."

   She said solemnly: "The world is so good 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" and kowtowed: "Mrs. forgive me, we know we're wrong, and we won't dare again in the future!"

Li Baolu nodded and smiled and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, after this matter is over, our masters and servants will run in and run in again, don't worry, I'm just asking for money, and I won't kill you, as long as you follow the rules in the future, wait for my heart to dissipate. Enough."

The nine people didn't believe it at all, and there was Baoding's steward who broke the boat and said: "Madam, the servant has indeed made a false account, the servant should be killed, the servant should be beaten, the servant should ask his wife to give the servant a chance to redeem his sins, and the servant will go back tomorrow. The original account book will be used, and the lack of money will be made up by the minions who smash the pot and sell the iron."

Li Baolu nodded gratified, "Yes, yes, the attitude is very commendable, you all have to learn from him in the future, and you must continue to carry forward this spirit of knowing mistakes, admitting them, and changing them." However, she sighed regretfully: "But This time, there is no need, because the people who raided your house have already set off, Baoding is not far from the capital, and they will arrive in one night, so..."

   "But it doesn't matter, anyway, you have to smash the pot and sell iron. I'll do it for you, so you don't have to work hard."

   The man was so weak that he fell to the ground and could not get up.

   It was a bolt from the blue!

Because Baoding is far away from the capital, this property is the private property of Lord Hou, and Lord Hou hardly cares about it. Therefore, he only needs to ensure that there is some surplus every quarter, and he does not need to manage the ladies in the house, so he is actually greedy. There are only more things than these three stewards in the capital, nothing less.

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

Seeing that people were frightened, Li Baolu was satisfied, and the anger in her heart went away a lot. Only then did she look at the people who were still **** in the courtyard. She smiled and said, "I don't care for idlers here, your family will check it out. There are many things that can't be put in the shop for resale, so tomorrow you will all go to the street and sell those things as second-hand. If you slack off or have other tricks, I don't care. Now that the busy farming season 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, I'm just leasing mines. I don't want much, as long as I cover you with room and board, I don't need a cent of labor, and I'll return to Zhuangzi to work when you are harvested in summer. ."

The people who only had a glimmer of hope felt a chill in their hearts and looked at Li Baolu in horror. They were not afraid of being sold to mines. Really, not to mention that they still had funds hidden to redeem themselves, they went to the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion. They can also find someone to redeem them, even if they are sent to officials, although they will lose face and suffer, but it is temporary. They know many secrets of the masters, and they also have contacts with the masters in the mansion. The top steward has friendship, and he can find a way to come out after he is sent to the official.

   But now Li Baolu is unwilling to send them to office, nor to sell them, but to slowly torture them with the deed of betrayal.

   Li Baolu's life and death were all in the hands of Li Baolu, and everyone felt cold. She was still a girl, but she was as vicious as a devil in hell.

Li Baolu got up and nodded slightly to the nine people: "I think you are not in the mood to go back to the inn anymore. I will let you check out. You will stay in the yard tonight and comfort your family." Li Baolu smiled. Fei smiled and swept over the woman and child who were staring at her with resentment, and said meaningfully: "My patience is very limited. Also, I welcome you to join the ranks of fugitive slaves."

   The nine fell to the ground, shaking their bodies and saying, "Slave dare not!"

  Li Baolu did not argue with them and got up and left.

   dare not?

  Dare to pay so much money, what else are they afraid of?

Li Baolu didn't ask anyone to guard them, what she said was true, she really liked them to be fugitive slaves, so she would be justifiable to kill or fight, but unfortunately they were too timid, maybe they were too jealous of Li Baolu. Nothing happened at night, no one fled, 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 while before looking at Er Lin suspiciously, "Are they locked in opposite?"

  Erlin bowed his head respectfully and said, "Back to the uncle, the wife didn't shut them up, just let them live there."

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

  Er Lin was silent, not only was he frightened, even as an outsider, he was almost scared to death, and his wife really didn't take any loss.

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

   Seeing her sitting on the corner of the kang, counting the pile of gold and silver in front of him with a smile on his face, he couldn't help laughing, he stepped forward and tapped her forehead and said, "I knew..."
