Chapter 142: The Beginning of Punishment (4)
After lunch, the three of Zhiqing headed directly towards Chenjiacun.Along with Xiao Zhengtai, it was natural to ride in a carriage.And these two attractive carriages attracted the envious eyes of most people when they were walking on the road.

Yu Niang felt that the curtains should be raised when riding in a carriage in summer, so that the air can be ventilated.So when everyone saw that the people sitting in the carriage were Zhiqing and Yuniang, they were amazed again, the old Xiao's family really had a future.Some people work hard all their lives and never get to see a horse, let alone ride in a carriage.But Zhiqing from the old Xiao's family was able to sit in the carriage after only two months of hard work.It's true that the same people have different fates!

When we arrived at Chenjia Village, it happened to be the hottest time, but the sound of earth cannons from the mountains kept coming.And in the dusty place far away, there would be terrifying cries from time to time.

Yu Niang felt a little startled when she heard it, maybe she died again?
In fact, quarrying at such a backward level is basically a matter of exchanging life for stones, but everyone rushed forward one after another, and what they wanted to compete for was only the small fifty cents.

"The person in charge here is Steward Liu, the housekeeper of Landlord Cui's family." Yuniang said.

Xiao Zhengtai nodded expressionlessly, "Since he is in charge, let's go to him directly."

The corners of Yuniang's mouth twitched, but she and Zhiqing actually liked such a simple and rude method.

Steward Liu didn't wrinkle when he looked at the person. He waved his hands impatiently and said, "We don't accept women here, nor do we accept weak men. Get out of here."

"I didn't expect that Landlord Cui's territory would be managed by a housekeeper." Xiao Zhengtai said coldly.

Butler Liu was taken aback for a moment, the kid in front of him had a strange attitude, but his rank was actually quite high.Could it be a big landlord somewhere?But if it was a big landlord, how could it be possible to appear here?You must know that even his master is unwilling to appear in this place.

"Who are you? We are no longer accepting people here. If you want to sign up, let you go after someone is dead, injured and unable to work. This is not a fun place, so you leave quickly." Think clearly Afterwards, Butler Liu's attitude became tougher, and he waved his hands again, chasing the three of them away like flies.

What annoys Yuniang the most is that these people put on such an attitude, her red lips lightly parted, and she said coldly: "I never thought that Landlord Cui taught his servants to treat adults from the capital like this."

An adult from the capital?

Steward Liu was a little stunned, unable to react for a while.

At this moment, a person ran outside, came to Butler Liu panting, and whispered something in his ear.Butler Liu's face suddenly became ugly.Then when she looked at Mrs. Xiaozheng, the solicitous Yuniang on her face almost vomited out her lunch.

"Grassman, pay your respects to Master Zhang." After the housekeeper Liu sent off the person who came to report, he immediately wrote to Mrs. Xiaozheng with a smile on his face.

The corners of Yuniang's mouth twitched fiercely, no wonder Butler Liu was just a small butler, who only knew how to bow his head when he saw the superiors.However, doesn't he know that his status is not enough, he shouldn't just be an editor, but should kneel down?
"How many people died here in total?" Xiao Zhengtai said surprisingly.

Butler Liu was completely stunned. He never expected that a big shot would ask such a question.

Yuniang was also a little surprised. Could it be that Mrs. Xiaozheng is going to clean up this hill all at once?
"This, this..." Butler Liu came to his senses, but couldn't answer.You must know that this is not a joke. If a person dies, he must pay for his life.The reason why Landlord Cui is not afraid is because Landlord Cui bribed the local government.But the adult in front of him is from the capital, so it's not easy to be bribed.

"Say." A cold word popped out of Xiao Zhengtai's mouth.

"I, I don't know." Butler Liu was so nervous that he was sweating profusely, he didn't dare to look at Xiao Zhengtai at all.

"If you don't know, please ask your master to come out, otherwise, I will level this place."

There is no doubt that Xiao Zhengtai's momentum is powerful.Yuniang admitted from the bottom of her heart that Xiaozhengtai's official style is really beyond compare, but this needs to be done without looking at his cute baby face.

"I, my master has already rushed over, please wait a moment, my lord." Steward Liu spoke while looking at his toes dripping with sweat.

Yuniang frowned slightly, Landlord Cui is coming here?And even if the person who came to report just now used the fastest footsteps to report, it was impossible for him to reach Cuijia Village in such a short period of time, and then turn back to this end.As Butler Liu said, Landlord Cui has already rushed to this end, and will come soon... Could it be that Landlord Cui has been sending people to follow Xiao Zhengtai?
Yu Niang cast a suspicious look at Xiao Zhengtai, but Xiao Zhengtai nodded, indicating that the guess in her heart was completely correct.

Zhiqing stretched out his hand, squeezed Yuniang's little hand lightly, and motioned her to look at the door.

Yu Niang was curious, so she drove in until Landlord Cui ran in panting, followed by another fat old man.That should be the landlord, right?
"Cao Min pays tribute to Master Zhang." Landlord Cui hurriedly knelt down in front of Mrs. Zheng, and Landlord Wang also knelt down after her.

Xiaozheng lost his voice.

Yuniang glanced at him, seeing that he didn't speak, she slightly raised the corners of her mouth, held Zhiqing's palm behind her back, and waited to watch the play.

Landlord Cui was panicking. He had already found out that Mr. Zhang had come to the capital, and this Mr. Zhang was quite familiar with Xiao Zhiqing from Xiaojia Village, and he was worried that Xiao Zhiqing would have any revenge for certain things.So they sent people to stay in Xiaojia Village to secretly observe the actions of Xiao Zhiqing's family.But they found that their family had no other suspicious behaviors except for some small business on weekdays.And just two days ago, there was an obvious move, Yuniang rescued an injured man on the mountain, and what worried him most was that Master Zhang from the capital actually came to Xiaojia Village in person today.This made him have to worry about fear.

If Xiao Zhiqing made any unreasonable request based on his relationship with Mr. Zhang, or took the opportunity to deceive him, I'm afraid he would die a miserable death.Therefore, at the same time as the servant reported, he immediately rushed to Chenjiacun.

"I heard that many people died on the top of the mountain where you quarried the stone, but is there such a thing?" Xiao Zhengtai asked coldly.

Landlord Cui was dripping with sweat and wanted to shake his head, but if Mr. Zhang found out in the future, it would be very troublesome.But if he nodded and admitted, then these people all died because of him, and his crimes would be very serious, and he might even be punished for this.And he didn't even have a chance to stand up.

After thinking about it again and again, Landlord Cui decided to push Landlord Wang out.
