Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 1391 Spy
Xihua was carried back to the lower place by several servants.Lying in bed groggy.She was originally from a scholar's family, and her family was quite wealthy.Unexpectedly, after a plague, her parents and brothers died one after another, and the clan swallowed up her family's property and conspired to sell her to the academy, almost forcing her to commit suicide.

Although he had a miserable life experience and was tortured mentally, he didn't suffer much. He was raised by Xiaojiabiyu when he was young.Where have I suffered such pain.I lay down in a daze until it was completely dark before waking up. I only felt a burning pain in my buttocks and legs, and every slight movement was like a needle prick.

The room was dark, there were no lights yet, and I didn't know what time it was.She reluctantly lay her body on her side, only feeling thirsty in her throat, she propped herself up and touched the low cabinet by the bed—it was empty and there was nothing there.

She is usually the "popular person" of the villa, not only is she almost a "student" in front of Zhao Yingong, she is also the number one figure in Cihui Hall, and she is in charge of the children's studies.She was originally a "real power faction" figure that everyone in the villa feared a little bit. In addition, she had a strong personality, a proud heart, and could not tolerate sand in her eyes, so she would embarrass people at every turn.So although he has done a lot of good things for the public on weekdays, his popularity in the villa is mediocre.This time I was beaten, many people took advantage of their wishes, and few people felt distressed. No one came to visit, let alone serve tea and water.

The moonlight outside the window was very bright, making the brick floor in front of the window white.Xihua's nose was sore, she couldn't help crying, she took out a handkerchief from under the pillow to wipe her tears, suddenly the door rang, and it opened gently, followed by Fenghua, she probed in and looked around, and made a gesture at Xihua With the gesture of "Shut up", he walked in lightly.First draw the curtain on the window, then take out a pack of matches from his pocket, wipe them with a brush, and light the candlestick on the table.

"Sister Fenghua!"

"Shh..." Feng Hua put his finger on his lips, put a box basket in his hand on the table, and took out a few porcelain bottles from it, "Don't move when you lie on your stomach, I'll rub the medicine for you."

"Thank you, sister." Xihua didn't dare to say more, lest he would let out his voice, so he just buried his face in the pillow, tears were already streaming down his face.She has a lot of contact with Feng Hua on weekdays, but has few personal relationships.Feng Hua was the most ordinary-looking among Zhao Yingong's "side servants", but he was born as a naturalized citizen in Lingao, and he was the oldest. He was one of Zhao Yingong's most trusted people.In the past, Xihua had always been annoyed that this girl with ordinary looks and knowledge could gain such trust from the master, so she always had a lukewarm attitude towards Fenghua.Coupled with Fenghua's generosity and high popularity and prestige in the villa, Xihua, who has always had a high self-esteem, gradually alienates her.

Unexpectedly, she would come to take care of him, and he couldn't help feeling warm and slightly ashamed.

After rubbing the medicine, Feng Hua poured a bowl of medicine juice from the thermos bottle in the basket for her to drink.The medicinal juice was slightly bitter, but it was not unpalatable. After drinking it, my body, which was originally dry and hot, suddenly felt refreshed, and even the tingling pain in my thighs was relieved a lot.

"This is the medicine bought from Lingao, the master specially asked me to bring it for you." Feng Hua whispered.

"Um……"

Feng Hua covered her body with a quilt, walked gently to the door, opened the door and waved.A figure flashed in.Seeing that Xihua looked like a man, he almost cried out.Suddenly found that the person who came was Zhao Yingong!
"master--"

Zhao Yingong nodded, Feng Hua had already moved a stool over, and Zhao Yingong sat down in front of the bed.

"I'm here to see you. Don't move, you just lie down, does it hurt?" Seeing that she was going to straighten up, Zhao Yingong held her arm with one hand.

Xihua is such a smart person, the master visited her lower place at night and came to visit her personally, knowing that there must be a reason for him to have an outburst today.However, she was annoyed that she was clearly "petitioning for the people", and she was also the master who said to herself that "education is the foundation" and "teaching and educating people is a century-old plan", but he was punished in public for this—the physical pain can be endured, The humiliation she suffered made it hard for her to let go.

With such a mood, the words are naturally not gentle: "It is only natural for the master to beat the slaves, even if they are killed, they should be killed. The slaves dare not cry out for pain, and the slaves deserve what they deserve!"

Feng Hua was about to reprimand, but Zhao Yingong shook his head and said: "Today's matter was originally done by you. You are such a smart person, you will never fail to understand."

"Yes, I understand." Xihua whispered.

"You're talking about the workers in the silk factory. I've already told the steward: from tomorrow, it will be operated in three shifts, with a break every hour. In addition, the standard of working meals has also been increased."

"..." Xihua's eyes widened, not knowing what the master meant.She always felt that the master was too cruel to the indentured slaves in the factory, and sooner or later people would die in the factory.That's why I argued in the excitement.Unexpectedly, the master accepted it all at once.

"People are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless? How did I not know that the silk reeling mill is like hell?" Zhao Yingong smiled slightly, and then covered his smile, "It's easy for people to have a small benevolence, but it's difficult to have a big benevolence. It's rare for you to be worthy of it." !"

Even Xihua, who is always proud and arrogant, dare not bear this kind of evaluation: "The master's words are too serious to be a slave."

"Why not?" Zhao Yingong talked eloquently, "You yourself are a top-notch job in the villa, and you get the first share of money and food. Master, I believe you can use you. You are a respectable person among servants and maidservants. Reeling silk There are not even half of your relatives, friends or old friends in the venue - they are all people who have nothing to do with you. For their joys and sorrows, they are willing to take risks to stand up and speak out, how can it not be benevolent and righteous?"

These words hit Xihua's heart directly. In fact, she didn't think so much when she was in her early days, but she was agitated for a while, and now Zhao Yingong raised some points, and the originally vague feeling suddenly became clear. Feeling mixed feelings in my heart, I fell on the pillow and burst into tears.

Feng Hua hurried up to comfort her, and it took her a while to stop her tears.

"It's all the servant's fault..." Xihua was about to get up again with tears in his eyes.

Zhao Yingong stopped her: "Don't admit your mistake. You're right. The matter of the silk reeling factory was originally an expedient measure." He smiled again, "Besides, if you didn't make a fuss today, how could you win people's trust?"

Xihua was a little confused. Hearing what he said up to this point, his heart seemed to be filled with snow, and he asked, "Master, do you want slaves to be Huang Gai?"

"Smart! I wanted to tell you about this first, so that you wouldn't feel uneasy. But when you feel better, the show won't work."

"The servant understands, what does the master want the servant to do?"

Zhao Yingong's complexion became serious:

"Both of you are my confidantes, it's okay to tell you now: someone is secretly plotting to destroy Phoenix Villa."

These words had less impact on Fenghua—after all, she was a naturalized citizen in Lingao, and she knew the power of the Senate, and she also knew that she and the "chief" came to Hangzhou to go deep into the enemy's territory.

Since you are in the enemy's territory, you will fall into a life-and-death contest at any time.But it was different for Xihua.She has a deep affection for Fenghuang Villa—a girl who was about to be reduced to prostitution, but under Zhao Yingong's hands, not only turned herself over, but also watched the master start from Wanbi Bookstore and expand Hangzhou's industry to such a scale.In particular, the Cihui Hall was established again. From last year to this year, she knew how many people who would have been starved to death in the Cihui Hall.

For people like Xihua, Phoenix Villa is almost like her home.When I heard that someone was going to destroy this place, I couldn't help but widen my eyes and asked eagerly:
"Master! Who is so vicious?"

"I don't know yet, so I want you to find them, are you willing?" He paused, "You are going deep into the tiger's den, I'm afraid you will die. If you don't want to go, I will never blame you to you."

"Your servant is willing!" Xihua said without hesitation, "The master told the servant how to do it."

"Okay." Zhao Yingong was very satisfied. After all, he saw her right, "Don't be impatient, this villa may have been mixed with traitors. Today you have received the family law, and someone will come to seduce you. As long as you Just let it be."

"Yes! This servant knows." Xihua replied, "What if no one comes?"

"Don't worry, someone will definitely come." Zhao Yingong smiled, "Only Feng Hua and Zhao Tong know about this matter in the villa. If you have anything to do, just contact Feng Hua, and she will tell you about the rest of the matter."

"So, her popularity in the villa is average?" Hao Yuan put down the investigation materials written by Gou Chengxuan in the book.

"That's right, the insiders said that this Xihua usually thinks highly of herself, and has a violent temper. The managers of the villa, big and small, will embarrass others on the spot as long as they don't go in her way. There are many people who hate her, but This person is strict in his work and follows the rules of the villa, making it impossible for people to catch her. That's why people hate her even more. "

"Oh?" Hao Yuanlue pondered for a moment, "You're talking about managers, but I'm talking about ordinary people, such as refugees, slaves, and female workers."

"She doesn't have much contact with them on weekdays, and the people below think she is arrogant. But she is fair, considers the people below, and is willing to speak for them, which is quite prestigious." Gou Chengxuan said, "This time I was moved by Zhao Bald. The family law is to stand up for the female workers in the silk reeling field. According to the insider, this matter does not seem to be fake-she said a few days ago that she would report to Baldy Zhao about the silk reeling field."

"It seems that this woman is really chivalrous." Hao Yuan refused to comment on whether it was fake or not.He looked up at the low ceiling for a while, and then asked, "Did anyone visit her afterwards? What will Zhao Yingong do with her?"

"I heard that Feng Hua went to see it, and gave her sore medicine--this is what it should be. Zhao Bald has nothing new to deal with. The news from the steward's office only said that she was allowed to rest for a few days."

Hao Yuan nodded: "Just listen, we'll do this next..."
