The delicate beauty was spoiled by four older brothers after her rebirth

Chapter 210 Convince Kitakami
Bai Jingyuan didn't go with them, so he didn't know what the fisherman said specifically.

After hearing Bai Xianyu's words, he looked at Xie Xingyun, whose eyes were fixed on his sister, with a half-smile.

Bai Jingyuan coughed.

Xie Xingyun returned to his senses slightly, hummed unhurriedly, "I think the same as Xianyu."

"Then who do you think is the murderer?" Bai Jingyuan put his elbows on the table, and his whole body was enveloped in a layer of clear light.

……

The next day.

Xie Xingyun and Bai Jingyuan each arranged manpower to look for witnesses in the case, and Bai Xianyu didn't stay in the house all the time. They were going back to the capital in a few days, and she wanted to bring some people from Fengshadu back to the capital.

The shopkeeper opened new restaurants in various counties and counties. The vicinity of Kyoto is far away, so it is inconvenient. She can come by herself.

The reason why we bring people from here instead of just picking a few good chefs to run a restaurant is because Fengshadu needs to have its own characteristics if it wants to gain a foothold, not only the decoration, but also the materials, dishes and so on.

The plaque of Fengshadu has been hung up, shining with golden light.

Bai Xianyu, wearing a cone hat, followed the guy who led the way into a private room.

The shopkeeper came soon after, and said respectfully, "What is the purpose of the girl's visit today?"

Bai Xianyu sat down, her snow-white skirt fell down on the cushion, "I'm here today to ask how many people you want, preferably an old cook, who is good at all the dishes in the building. If it's suitable, I will Take them to Kyoto."

The shopkeeper was taken aback, "Are you going to stay in the capital all the time? According to what you said before, girl, the nearby counties are all sending apprentices from our restaurant, and these old people are still staying in Liangzhou."

Bai Xianyu thought about this question early in the morning, "Stay with me in Kyoto."

The shopkeeper showed embarrassment, "Our old cooks here are all from Liangzhou. The capital is too far away, and their families and children are all here. I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to persuade."

The cooks in the restaurant are not servants who have signed a death contract, and if they don't want to, he can't force them to go.

Luzhu took out a few banknotes from her bosom at the right time, and said with a smile: "That's not necessarily true. You can tell the shopkeeper, my lady said, as long as they go with us, they won't be treated badly. It will be properly arranged for them."

The shopkeeper guessed early in the morning that this girl in white clothes had an extraordinary background, probably from a well-known family in Kyoto, right?

But he regretted his life and didn't dare to ask more questions.

He looked down, and was stunned on the spot, "Is this... a little too much, 2000 taels can buy a house in Kyoto!"

Luzhu smiled, "You can buy it, but my lady's whole body is more than 2000 taels."

It can't even be measured in silver, the young lady picks out any jewelry at random, they are all priceless treasures, and the Cui Ruyi hairpin on her head today is also extraordinary.

The shopkeeper was shocked again, and he answered twice in a daze.

The corners of Bai Xianyu's lips twitched slightly, "Well, go and come back quickly."

The shopkeeper was very fast, and within a quarter of an hour, he brought a few people over. These people were all elderly, and one of them had gray hair. They didn't dare to look up even if they heard the voice.

After the shopkeeper left, Bai Xianyu asked Lu Zhu to find a screen and stand in the middle.

Several people looked at the floor without looking up.

"Girl, the nine of them have been working for seven or eight years. After I told them, they are willing to go. If you think it is suitable, I will let them go back to pack their luggage and go with you." The shopkeeper bent over and smiled. Say.

"No hurry." Bai Xianyu took a sip of tea slowly, "Go out first, I'll talk to them alone."

The shopkeeper nodded and stepped back.

Both Baixianyu and Luzhu sat behind the screen and did not show their faces.

Several people looked at their noses, noses, and hearts. After a long silence, the person sitting inside spoke.

"Can the shopkeeper make it clear?"

Her voice sounded particularly young, like a girl who had just reached the age of [-], which was light and melodious.

The cooks looked at each other in surprise.

"The shopkeeper made it clear that we all went to the capital with you voluntarily. We just need the help of a girl. We don't have any other requirements." The middle-aged man with thinning hair scratched his head and said.

This girl is very generous. They have heard about it since they gambled with the son of the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River that day. The rewards will definitely not treat them badly. Where is the life?

The girl hummed indifferently, "I can give you generous rewards, but I also have a request. If you agree, then you can go north with me."

The gray-haired man asked, "I don't know what the request is?"

"I want you to sign a death contract."

Several people immediately froze on the spot, and I don't know how long it took before someone said, "Death...death contract?"

They naturally know what a death contract is. Those who sign a death contract are usually servants. Life and death are at the master's whim. Even if they are beaten to death, the government can't say anything!It is no different from prostitution, and the descendants are the master's domestic slaves!
Everyone didn't dare to show their anger, and they faintly flinched.

Bai Xianyu took a spoonful of white fungus and lotus seed porridge with a spoon, "Well, the death contract doesn't mean that you sell yourself to me or someone else as cattle or horses, it's just that during the time I use you, if you violate my order, So……"

She didn't finish her sentence, but they all understood what it meant.

This is the safest way. Water thieves are rampant along the way. It is unrealistic for them to bring their families to Kyoto, especially if there are women and children among them.

What's more, there are many spies from each family in Kyoto, if they go to another house halfway, or discover her identity or something... Bai Xianyu's eyes are slightly condensed, and the people who brought him down to Jiangnan this time are also the servants and guards of the mansion Well, if she doesn't sign the death contract, she is really worried.

No one answered.

Bai Xianyu thought for a while, and added, "20 years, then I will write on the death contract that after 20 years you will be free, and I can also give you ten years' reward in advance."

Someone swallowed his saliva and rolled his eyes, "Girl, I still think Liangzhou is good. I've been here for decades. I'm afraid it's useless to go to the capital. Let's go, villain?"

As he spoke, he backed away, as if he was afraid that Bai Xianyu would send someone to catch up.

Bai Xianyu didn't stop him either.

One person ran away, and the rest of them were also ready to move.

"I... my daughter is still young, so I can't go either!"

"I suddenly have a stomachache, girl, I will leave first!"

After a while, five people ran away, with chaotic footsteps.

A few private rooms away, they could still be heard talking in low voices, "How much money can I have, maybe I have to risk my own life! I don't do this loss-making business."

"That's it!"

Bai Xianyu is still calm. Those who can sell themselves and sign the death contract are those who are too poor to survive. She originally only planned to persuade two people. Now, in this situation, perhaps one is enough, so she can hire a few more apprentices It can also solve urgent needs.

Neither the thin-haired middle-aged man nor the gray-haired man left. There were two other people besides them. One was as thin as a monkey, and the other was of medium build with a mole on his brow.

"Do you have any questions?" Bai Xianyu asked.

"I want to ask the girl, how much is the salary for these 20 years?" the thin man said.

Bai Xianyu raised his chin towards Luzhu, Luzhu nodded, and walked out wearing a cone hat, and spread out a few banknotes on the case, "Miss said, one person is 600 taels of silver a year, and 6000 taels of silver in ten years , the rewards for these ten years can be given to you in advance, that is to say, after 20 years, each of you will have 1 taels of silver, and you will be free again."

If they followed her, they would be the old master, and there were not many people, so they could feel at ease.

The eyes of the four trembled, 1 taels!

Before they came, they thought it was worth a few thousand taels!
"And you don't have to worry about the problems of the old and the young at home. You can bring them into Kyoto together. There are also houses, but after 20 years, we will take them back."

A few people nodded, even renting a house would cost a lot of money, and now letting them live in vain for 20 years is still a lot of expenses!
Really rich!

Bai Xianyu glanced at them and thought for a second, "In addition, your family members have to sign the death contract."

"Don't worry, I only want you to cook well. You should also be able to see that I am not short of guards or servants, and I will not force you or your family to do anything in the future. If you are worried, I can Write down your responsibilities clearly on the deed."

As soon as the words came out, the gray-haired man nodded, "Girl, I'll sign!"

Bai Xianyu smiled.

The other three hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded.

Bai Xianyu was quite satisfied, and said with a smile: "Then you should write down some basic information about the family members, as well as the place of origin, etc., and write it to her according to the style prescribed by the government."

Green Pearl smiled at them.

"After finishing it, I will let you know when the day comes. You will take the boat to Kyoto together, and I will let the guards escort you along the way." Naturally, it is impossible for Bai Xianyu to bring all of them to their family's boat, and I will stagger the time with them. Although there is only one Fengshadu now, it may form a prairie fire in the future. If it develops well, it can be regarded as a bargaining chip.

The less the Emperor knew, the safer they were.

"Yes!"

It didn't take long to write these things, Bai Xianyu had already drawn up the death contract, and everyone compared with each other several times, and it was settled on the spot.

After signing, their attitude was obviously more respectful, "Master, when will I get you the rest?"

The family members were not present, and they could not sign and draw a deposit on their behalf.

"Within three days, just give it to the shopkeeper, and I will send someone to pick it up."

Bai Xianyu got up, asked Luzhu to keep the contract, and led her downstairs.

When those people returned to the kitchen, the few people who had run away gathered together and were whispering.

Someone saw them coming out, and said sarcastically: "You don't really sign the death contract, do you? That's the life of being a slave! Or children and grandchildren, for a few hundred taels of silver? We are here for a year There is also 100 taels of silver, which is enough."

"Yeah, we will be old after ten years, and we can still save about 1000 taels of silver. We can buy a good house in Liangzhou, which is not enough in Kyoto."

The thin man couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "1000 taels, we can do things for the master for two years, but we have 600 taels a year!"

"what!"

Someone snatched the paper from the thin man's hand, and after reading clearly what was written on it, he was completely dumbfounded!

At this time, other spectators also leaned over to watch.

"20 taels in 1 years!!"

"I only cook, and I have a house to live in! Isn't this just going to Kyoto to enjoy the blessings! Why didn't I go just now!"

Not to mention them, the faces of those who were disdainful for running away just now are all green with jealousy.

"I'm going to ask the girl if she wants someone else!"

"I also need to go!"

Everyone anxiously wanted to redeem it, and the four people who signed the death contract were very calm, as if they were watching a monkey show.

At this moment, the shopkeeper walked into the dining room, "Stop arguing! Just now, the girl said that there are enough people. If anyone makes a fuss about this matter, don't do it!"

They can only go back to cooking in resentment.

On the carriage, Luzhu took out the death deed they had signed, and she had checked it just now, but there was a person's hometown that she was familiar with, but she just couldn't remember it.

Bai Xianyu saw her frowning and thinking hard, took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, "What are you thinking?"

Luzhu hesitated for a while, and handed the gray-haired man the contract in front of Bai Xianyu, "Miss, do you have any impression of Paiqiao Village?"

Bai Xianyu was taken aback for a moment, then sat up straight and carefully read what he wrote.

"...Paiqiao Village."

Isn't that the place where the unsolved case happened back then!

It was also where they found the fisherman.

Calculating the time, if he went to the restaurant in [-], does it mean that he might have been an insider at that time?
"Turn around." Bai Xianyu called out to the groom.

The groom responded and immediately walked back.

The shopkeeper was reconciling the account, when he saw the girl go and come back again, he walked around the desk and smiled, "Why is the girl back again?"

Bai Xianyu thought in his heart that it was so easy to find no place to find. They didn't know what they found before, but now there is someone from the same village with the same surname as Huang Ziqi, maybe they are related The relationship is not necessarily.

"Call Huang Jianghai for me."

Huang Jianghai was that gray-haired man, he was quickly brought in, and when he saw Bai Xianyu again, he lowered his head in fear, "Master."

Bai Xianyu asked him to sit first, and the assistant poured him a cup of tea.

"Don't be nervous." Bai Xianyu smiled and said, "I just want to ask a few questions today."

The shopkeeper and the buddy stepped back voluntarily.

Bai Limeng stood firmly at the door with a murderous look on his body, no one dared to approach him.

Huang Jianghai nodded, "Master, just tell me."

"I see what you wrote on it, you are from Paiqiao Village, so do you know someone named Huang Ziqi?"

Huang Jianghai's pupils shrank and his voice trembled, "You, how did you know my nephew's name!"

Bai Xianyu was shocked, it was actually his nephew!
"A friend of mine was investigating the case of your nephew back then. I saw that the place of origin you left was just right, so I asked you, how much do you know about what happened back then?"
