Need for money

It's not surprising that Lin Jingzhi has a big slave bullying his master, because there are many stories in this wealthy compound, conspiracies, tricks, filth and framing, and slaves bullying the master, these are all very common things.

Of course, what is common is common, if it happened to Lin Jingzhi's woman, he would not be polite!

"Wan'er, where's the maid in your house?" Lin Jingzhi asked casually.

"Back to the second master, the servants and concubines saw that they were idle in the yard and had nothing to do, so they asked them to help elsewhere." Ever since Aunt Wan married into Lin's mansion, she was disgusted by Mrs. Lin. People lost their scruples, so some powerful managers didn't regard her as their master. Not only did the food they serve on weekdays be simple and free of meat, even the maids and women around her were called Go out and do coolies.

But Aunt Wan didn't want to talk about this matter, after all, Lin Jingzhi's health has just improved, so it's not appropriate to work too hard.

Lin Jingzhi was not stupid, so he could come out and have other secrets, but he didn't want to be angry on the spot if the matter was not investigated clearly, so he waved lightly, motioned the accompanying maid to come closer, and said, "Go outside and get the waiter Aunt Wan's maids and wives are all back, I have something to ask."

The little girl responded, and ran out in a hurry to find someone.

A flash of panic flashed in Aunt Wan's eyes, and she wanted to persuade her to leave the matter behind, but seeing Lin Jingzhi's face was very ugly, so she had to give up, and at the same time, a gleam of joy rose in her heart, after all, this man was her. Her husband is her reliance.

From now on, as long as there is Lin Jingzhi's support, life will be much easier.

The two sat in the house drinking tea and chatting. Lin Jingzhi's mood gradually improved. At first he was very angry that his nominal woman was bullied by the servants. Joy, after all, which man doesn't like such a gentle and considerate woman?

This is his woman!

I learned from Aunt Wan that her surname is Wu and her name is Peipei. Her father, Wu Cheng, was originally a businessman with a lot of money in his family. At that time, the family conditions were good, and his father loved her. He was afraid that she would be wronged if she married at a young age. , It dragged on for a year and a year, until I was 20 years old.

When a girl grows to 20 years old, she is considered a big girl. If she does not marry again, she is afraid that no one will want her in the future. Seeing that there are fewer and fewer people coming to propose marriage, Aunt Wan's parents are anxious. However, just this summer, the Wu family But a big thing happened. Wu Cheng lost his entire family business because of being plotted against by his competitors.

So far, the Wu family has truly declined.

The family lost their power due to lack of money, and their daughter was too old. The matter of marrying a daughter became a worry for the Wu Cheng couple. My aunt's younger brother, Wu Jun, was young and immature, so unconvinced for a while, he ran to seek revenge on the person who plotted against the Wu family, and broke his son's leg.

The family filed a complaint directly, took Wu Jun to the prison, and secretly used money to torture Wu Jun in the prison. Wu Cheng felt sorry for his son and wanted to visit him, but the jailer refused to see him, so Wu Cheng had no choice but to look down on his old face. , Go to the enemy's house to intercede.The family was annoyed that Wu Jun had broken his son's right leg, so they were not willing to let go. After more than ten days, they saw that the jailer had tortured Wu Jun enough, so they let Wu Cheng pay 3000 taels of silver, or they would let Wu Jun squat A lifetime in prison.

In the past, 3000 taels of silver would not be a big deal, but now that the Wu family has sold off all their property, how can they get together the 3000 taels of silver? Aunt Wan and Lin Jingzhi were destined by fate. At this moment, Wu Cheng suddenly heard It was rumored that the Lin family wanted to marry Lin Jingzhi a concubine, and the condition was that she should be good-looking and be over twenty years old.

Hearing this news, Wu Cheng was very happy. What kind of family background the Lin family has, even if the Wu family has not been plotted against, it is incomparable. Moreover, Lin Jingzhi is a 14-year-old candidate, and his talent has spread far and wide, enough to be worthy of his daughter So after discussing with my old wife, I decided to let my daughter try it.

Aunt Wan was sensible since she was a child, she loved her younger brother very much, seeing that this method could save her younger brother, she naturally had no objection and readily agreed.

At that time, the Lin family had already married two concubines to Lin Jingzhi, Aunt Shuang and Aunt Rou, but they made two congratulations, but it didn't work. Lin Jingzhi's health was still getting worse and worse. He went to the doctor in a hurry, and heard people say that marrying a woman three years older than the husband can make a prosperous husband and start a family business, so it spread the word that he wanted to marry a woman who was over [-] years old to be Lin Jingzhi's concubine.

Although Aunt Wan is not stunning, she has a dignified appearance and a generous demeanor. As soon as she entered the Lin mansion, she was attracted by Mrs. Lin. The title of Aunt Wan was given to her by Mrs. Lin. Everyone has a ladylike temperament, and later the Lin family gave the Wu family a dowry gift of 3000 taels of silver, and Aunt Wan stayed in the Lin mansion.

After chatting with Aunt Wan for a while, Lin Jingzhi felt quite uncomfortable. Even if he had already guessed that most of these concubines married into Lin's mansion because of money from Chong Lin's family, it was somewhat unacceptable.

And he also sympathized with Aunt Wan very much, if not for the drastic changes in her family, she would not have married into the Lin family as a concubine.

Aunt Wan is a kind woman, she is kind and doesn't like to lie, so she told the cause and effect, seeing Lin Jingzhi's complexion at this moment, she smiled softly: "Actually, the concubine is taking advantage of the sky, Second Lord, you But I don't know, your name is almost a household name in Los Angeles, and many unmarried girls use you as a role model."

Although he knew that the woman in front of him was not talking about him, Lin Jingzhi still felt a little joy in his heart, and then blurted out a question without thinking, "What about you, before you married into the Lin family, did you also use me?" be role model?"

Even though Aunt Wan is older, her pretty face is flushed with embarrassment at this moment. How could anyone ask such a shameful question, and she asked it so directly. She lowered her head deeply, and after a moment of silence, she lowered herself like a mosquito." Hmm' sounded.

Seeing this, Lin Jingzhi was overjoyed, and was about to say a few more words of teasing, when a servant's voice came from outside the door, "Go back to Second Master, bring all the servants around Aunt Wan."

Already having a crush on Aunt Wan, Lin Jingzhi naturally wanted to find out more about this matter, with a serious face, and let them all enter the room to talk.

As the door opened, a total of three thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls and an old woman about 50 years old walked in. These three little girls were all wearing coarse clothes covered with patches, although they tried their best to They hid them in their sleeves, but Lin Jingzhi still saw that their little hands were covered with blood and calluses.

The old woman was dry and thin, also wearing coarse clothes.

"On weekdays, are you the ones who serve Aunt Wan?" Lin Jingzhi sipped his tea and asked softly.

These servants had never seen Lin Jingzhi before, they didn't know what his temper was, they just knelt on the ground and nodded repeatedly, not daring to speak.

"Among the three of you, who is a second-class maid?" Lin Jingzhi glanced at the three girls and sighed inwardly. Second-class maids are usually only responsible for cleaning the edges of tables, chairs and windows, and don't need to do rough work, but these three girls Thin and dark, you can tell that you have suffered a lot.

"Back...back to the second master, the servant is...the second-class maid."

"Back to the second master, and so are the servants."

After the girl kneeling on the far left finished speaking timidly, the girl in the middle also responded. These two girls were so timid that they didn't even dare to lift their heads.

"Oh? Since you are a second-class girl, you should dress decently and serve the master well. You are dressed like this now, and you go out to play again. How decent are you!" Lin Jingzhi's face turned serious, and he scolded road.

"Back to the second master, the servant did not go to play."

"Back to the second master, the slaves didn't go to play, it was Aunt Wan who asked us to go out to help."

The two girls were taken aback and almost cried out. The one in the middle kowtowed repeatedly and pulled Aunt Wan out.

"Bold, how dare you deceive the master. I asked Aunt Wan just now, and she said she didn't know where you were going." Lin Jingzhi saw Aunt Wan who was facing her with a look of embarrassment, and felt a burst of admiration in his heart. This woman is really kind. As the mastermind behind the scenes, he could only shake his head coldly at Aunt Wan, signaling her not to speak.

Seeing this, Aunt Wan sighed softly and turned her head to one side.

"No, no, the servant did not lie to the second master. When we went out, I greeted Aunt Wan."

"Presumptuous, what does it mean to have greeted Aunt Wan? You are the second-class girls assigned to Aunt Wan, so except for the few masters in the family, you can only listen to Aunt Wan. Who gave you such a big deal? Dare to take the initiative to say hello to Aunt Wan and go out to play." Lin Jingzhi knew that if the two maids were not frightened, the two maids would not dare to tell the mastermind behind it, so the more he spoke, the more severe his voice became.

Seeing that the master was annoyed, the two little girls were so frightened that they knelt on the ground trembling and begged for mercy.

"Hmph, the state has state laws, and the family has family rules. Lin Fu will not tolerate such audacious slaves like you, come here, pull them out, each person will have [-] boards, and then they will be blasted out of Lin Fu!"

As soon as Lin Jingzhi finished speaking, he saw two little girls paralyzed on the ground. Fifty boards would kill someone. In the end, the little girl on the left was the first to recover, and before the rough envoy arrived, Loudly replied: "Second Master, the slaves didn't go out to play, it was Li Guanshi who asked us to go out to work, you see, the hands of the slaves washing clothes are cracked, the slaves really didn't go out to play."

On the way back just now, a few people happened to meet Li Guanshi. Li Guanshi saw that they were not going to work, but had to go back to the small courtyard, so he became angry on the spot. In the end, the little girl who went to send the message explained, Li Guanshi Only then did I realize that it was Lin Jingzhi who wanted to send these people back for questioning.

Guanshi Li is an old man in the Lin family. He knew that Lin Jingzhi hated his subordinates who were greedy for money and playing tricks. In a hurry, he warned a few people not to tell his name, or they would be sold to brothels. Because of this, the two The little girl didn't dare to tell the truth at first.

But now that there is no way out, how dare these two little girls hide it? The little girl in the middle saw that her companions had already confessed, and shouted loudly: "Second Master, this servant is also going out to work under the order of Manager Li. Yes, ever since I was assigned to Aunt Wan's place, Manager Li asked my servant to help in the firewood room, you see, there are many calluses and blood blisters on my servant's hands."

The old woman knelt on the ground, coughing for some reason.

"Oh? Manager Li told you to go out to work?"

"Yes, Second Master, it was Li Guanshi who asked the servants to go out to work!"

"But Aunt Wan is the master, and Li Guanshi is a slave. Why do you dare to despise the master and listen to a slave?" Lin Jingzhi tapped his fingers on the table, intending to ask as clearly as possible here, and then passed on to Li Guanshi.

At this moment, the faces of the two little girls were already pale with fright, so they dared not hide any more, so they revealed all the evil deeds Li Guanshi had done, and finally the little girl on the left pointed at the girl behind her. The old woman said, "Second Master, this person is actually not Aunt Wan's servant, but Li Guanshi's wet nurse. When she followed, she had just changed into a servant's clothes."

"That's right, Guanshi Li asked her to come here, just to suppress the servant and prevent the servant from telling the truth." The little girl on the right also added in time.

The girl in the middle also nodded repeatedly.

Lin Jingzhi didn't expect Li Guanshi to be so bold, daring to blatantly play tricks in front of his master, this is very annoying, no matter who it is, he will not let others play him like a monkey!

Angry, he made up his mind that this Manager Li must look good!He glanced at the old woman lightly, and saw that her face was pale and trembling all over, but she no longer coughed non-stop like before. In a flash of inspiration, he figured it out, dare to love that the old woman is in good health , just deliberately coughing is to warn the two little girls not to talk nonsense!

"Come on, go and get Manager Li!" No matter how angry Lin Jingzhi was, he would never attack an old woman.

Li Zhong is in his 30s and less than 40 years old this year. He has been in the Lin Mansion for more than ten years before he climbed up to the position of steward. He still takes good care of him, with Mrs. Lin backing him up. In the inner court, what is Guanshi Li afraid of? Naturally, he can get what he can, but he didn't expect that this time, he was caught by Lin Jingzhi. ready-made.

Kneeling on the cold and hard floor, Guanshi Li's brain was racing, trying to find a way to make this matter as small as possible.

It is not easy to be the steward of the Lin family of Nuo Da. Lin Jingzhi knew that he would not be impatient if he wanted to touch this man, so he sat on a chair and concentrated on drinking tea. On weekdays, when Aunt Wan saw Steward Li, she had to accompany him. With a three-point smile, seeing Guanshi Li kneeling in front of him this time, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

As time went by, Guanshi Li became more and more uneasy. He had been greedy for money in the past, so he was a little guilty. Lin Jingzhi waited until Guanshi Li's forehead was covered with cold sweat before he said: "Li Zhong , How long have you been in the Lin family?"

"Back to the second master, this servant has been in the Lin family for 18 years." Although Li Guanshi didn't understand why Lin Jingzhi asked this, he still replied honestly.

"Oh, it turned out to be so long. Let me ask you again, in the past 18 years, how many slaves have you seen beaten to death?" Lin Jingzhi took a sip of his tea, still speaking calmly.

Aunt Wan glanced at him when she heard the words, but Guanshi Li trembled in fright, and quickly lowered her head deeply, "Go back to Second Lord, there are many, I don't remember."

Mrs. Lin acted resolutely, and she was quite ruthless. Every year for various reasons, she would kill a few disobedient servants, so Manager Li said that he didn't remember. Lin Jingzhi didn't doubt it, "I don't remember how many people It's okay, but be careful if you forget why they were killed."

"Back to the second master, this servant is loyal to the Lin family, the heavens can learn from it!" After Li Guanshi finished speaking, he knocked his head vigorously, and there was an extra bruise in the middle of his forehead.

"I didn't say you were unfaithful, but having said that, among those slaves who were killed, there were also those who were loyal to the Lin family. After all, the Lin family is a big family, and they have to use family law to restrain their servants. Loyalty alone is not enough. !"

If Guanshi Li didn't know whether Lin Jingzhi would deal with him before, now he can be sure that the Patriarch will not let it go.

But he is not timid after all, after several questions and answers, his tense nerves have gradually relaxed, thinking to himself, in fact, the result is not so terrible, he still has a way out, because this backyard has always been managed by Mr. Lin. The matriarch takes care of it, as long as the old matriarch Lin will stand up, he will definitely say a few good words for him. By then, the big things will disappear, and the small things will disappear.

Thinking of this, he gave the two little girls beside him a hard look, and when he regained his breath, he would definitely not let these two sluts go!

The two little maids were so frightened that their bodies tensed up, their eyes flustered.

Lin Jingzhi knew that it was not good to hang out for too long when interrogating a prisoner, otherwise, after the initial shock, he would calm down, look for loopholes and fabricate lies, so he changed the subject and finally got to the point, " Li Guanshi, these maids said earlier that you appointed them as Aunt Wan's second-class maids, and then ordered them to work elsewhere?"

When it came to the business, Manager Li was a little flustered. He had just calmed down a little bit, and then hung up again, "Back to the second master, the slave is in charge of the addition and transfer of personnel in several places in the backyard. At the beginning, the old lady was in charge. It means to send a few personal maids for Aunt Wan, but due to the lack of manpower at the time, it was not possible to fill them up according to the rules."

"That day, the slave sent a total of three servants, two second-class girls, and one third-class girl. It was the three of them." Li Guanshi was afraid that there might be mistakes in his words, so when he spoke, he was very cautious, and he even took Lin Lin The old lady was also moved out.

"According to the rules, the maids assigned to Aunt Wan only need to serve Aunt Wan well, and they don't need to go to other places to do work, but these little girls told me that on weekdays you have to give them another What about other tasks?"

Li Guanshi shook his head and denied it: "I am wronged, it is nothing. I have not seen each other since I transferred them to Aunt Wan. How could I give them another task."

Seeing that Manager Li refused to admit it, the two little girls were so frightened that they were about to explain, but Lin Jingzhi preempted them, "Nothing? Hehe, Li Zhong, just look at their hands, they look like the second-class maids in the mansion should Do you have hands?"

Li Guanshi obediently glanced at it, then quickly looked away, and said through gritted teeth: "Their hands are a bit rough, it's because the servants neglected their duties, and they didn't check carefully when they were selected."

What a bold slave!Sure enough, he was quick-witted, although he was a bit reluctant to evade, but he said it, "Oh? According to you, they are falsely accusing you?"

"Second Master Mingjian!"

As soon as Guanshi Li's words came out, Lin Jingzhi almost choked, and quickly put the teacup in his hand back on the table, knowing what a fart, he really thought he was a monkey, if he just wanted to teach Guanshi Li a lesson, he would give it to Aunt Wan He was angry, so now, he is really annoyed, he is so stubborn, there will always be times when you regret it!

"Li Zhong, you said that these two little girls are falsely accusing you, then I would like to ask, why did they falsely accuse you?"

"Back to the second master, the size of the slave is also a steward. I think these girls have asked the slave to do something before, but the slave didn't agree, so they held a grudge and falsely accused the slave." Li Guanshi's answer can be said to be watertight.

"Huh!" Lin Jingzhi sneered, you are in charge, they are little maids, there is no special reason, they dare to falsely accuse you?However, it seems meaningless to entangle on this issue, because neither side can produce any valid evidence, so he turned his head to look at the two little girls, and said: "You said that you were ordered by Manager Li to go to Work elsewhere, there should not be only the two of you there, you go to the place where you work now, and find a few people who can prove that you are indeed working there."

The two little girls nodded repeatedly when they heard the words, and then led a few servants out of the room.

When Li Guanshi heard this, his face only changed slightly, and then he regained his composure.In Lin's residence, he still has some influence, and he had already said hello before coming, so it seems likely that no one would be brave enough to stand up against him.
