Chapter 2

"Old lady, such a dog should be killed immediately, and let other slaves be warned." The third wife changed her usual kindness and asked for instructions.

"It's not easy to take the life of a servant? But he has to confess himself, otherwise it will be troublesome if it is reported to the government in the future." The second wife interjected: "The old lady calms down, so I have to call other people in for interrogation. It is only appropriate to take the crime of this dog slave!"

The old lady nodded and ordered all the kneeling servants outside to come in.Ruoxi lay in Qingyu's arms, and quickly glanced at everyone's expressions.I saw the third wife glanced at the woman next to her, the second wife looked like she was enjoying the show, and a younger woman who hadn't spoken since she entered the door.

She was wearing a plain dark green dress, and only after looking closely did she notice that there were extremely light blue and white dimples floating on the dress.The hairstyle is also the simplest bun, adorned with a flat-flowered silver hairpin inlaid with dark red agate and scattered silver-foil beads, exuding a simple and elegant temperament from head to toe.She seemed to feel Ruoxi's scrutinizing gaze, and she raised her eyes and smiled at her, revealing a sense of comfort.Ruoxi guessed that she should be the uncle's stepmother, she was quiet and not very talkative when she entered the house the year before last.

At this time, the servants outside were brought in, and they knelt down on the floor, but none of them dared to raise their heads and speak.

"Jiu Yatou has been in the village for five years. Aunt Zhao died of illness two years ago. She stayed here to keep her filial piety. How have you served Jiu Yatou these two years? Lianhua, you are the girl next to Aunt Zhao. Tell me about it. !" Although the old lady is getting old and doesn't take much care of things in recent years, she has a bright eye and points out a little girl who is trembling all over.

Lianhua originally hid herself in the crowd, she curled up as much as she could for fear of being discovered.Now hearing being called by the old lady, she was so frightened that she knelt down and crawled out.

"Look up!" the old lady snapped.

She raised her head tremblingly, only to see a three-pointed face with heavy makeup, a golden hairpin on her head, and a shining gold bracelet on her wrist.Looking at her attire, she looks exactly like her aunt, how can she look like a girl?
"Hmph, what a charming little beauty, I don't know which grandma she is!" The old lady was furious, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that all the things on her were owned by Nine Girls and Aunt Zhao!
"These things are all given by Wang Lai to the servant!" She cried and kowtowed non-stop, "Old lady, please forgive me, the servant has never bullied Miss Jiu. Wang Lai did all the things by himself, and he promised to the servant The advantage is not to let the servants tell the wife, the old lady. The servants are just greedy for petty gain, old lady, please forgive me!" She regretted wearing these clothes, originally thought that she would hide in the backyard and not show her face, and when the old lady and wife left tomorrow, it would be considered a crime. up.Who would have thought that the matter of Miss Nine would alarm the old lady, and she would be dragged into the front yard to kneel before she could hide her things.

"Why does he only benefit you alone? Who are you bluffing?" The second wife questioned, and then said to the old lady, "This kind of servant can't be beaten, the old lady must not condone it!"

"Don't hit the servant girl, the servant girl has something to tell!" Lianhua shouted in fright.

Seeing that Wanglai was beaten and lost half his life, Lianhua was afraid that she would also be beaten and hurriedly said that she had something inside and wanted to report it.As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the room had different expressions, and before the old lady could speak, a woman rushed out.

"How dare you collude with Wang to deceive the Lord, you bastard, and still don't take off the things belonging to Miss Nine?" She went to pick the gold hairpin from the lotus head, stroked the gold bracelet on her wrist, and whipped her big bum with the other hand. mouth. "Papa" slapped her mouth swollen, and blood dripped from the corner of her mouth.

Ruoxi sat on the bed, from her angle, she happened to see a silver light flash in the old woman's hand, as if she had stabbed the lotus's tongue, and it seemed that she just slapped her mouth, which didn't seem very real.But seeing Lianhua's body limply falling to the ground, the mother-in-law was startled.

She hurriedly knelt down in panic and replied: "The old slave just hit her a few times in anger, but didn't hit her hard, old lady forgive me!"

"Let's see how she is doing first?" the old lady ordered.

A rough envoy came out from the people kneeling behind. She probed Lianhua's breath and touched her forehead, and replied: "A few days ago, she had a cold, and she was dizzy early in the morning. Just now After kneeling in the snow outside for a while, I was frightened and passed out again."

"Take it to the backyard and take care of it!" The old lady ordered, her eyes scanned the ground, "I can't run away now, if anyone dares to hide anything, don't blame me for being merciless! On the contrary, whoever If you tell the truth, you will be able to redeem yourself.”

"The old lady doesn't need to bother anymore, all the servants will recognize it!" Wang Lai was quite angry at this time, only to see Aunt Zhao died, and Nine Girls had the idea of ​​deceiving the master when she was young.The servant is also greedy for the beauty of the lotus, we hit it off.There weren't many people in the farm, so we got everyone to shut their mouths, so we boldly bullied Nine Girls.The servant knew that he would not survive this time, so he recruited truthfully, and only asked the old lady to give the servant a good time! "

"You don't have the right to negotiate terms!" The old lady turned livid when she heard his confession, she patted the table and asked everyone, "What good did Wang come to promise you? Truthfully invite you!"

Some wise people have seen some tricks, Wang Lai wants to stop all sins, they only need to pick the unimportant ones and say it.So someone immediately admitted that they got the benefit of one or two silver coins from Wang Lai.Wanglai didn't make a sound, just lying on the ground with his eyes closed, waiting to die.Seeing that he did not refute, everyone confessed one after another.There are also two or three rough envoy girls and women who usually do the most lowly jobs, and they can't enter the front yard or see strangers, but they haven't been bribed.

"It's all reversed! The Han family has no rules and no family rules?" The old lady was trembling with anger, and the third wife hurriedly stepped forward to stroke her back.

"Old lady, don't be angry with these slaves. Fortunately, Jiu Yatou is fine." She comforted softly, "Wanglai is absolutely not allowed to stay, and these slaves who have taken advantage of him should also be punished."

"Yeah." The old lady calmed down a little, "Drag Wang Lai out, beat him to death and don't allow him to bury him, and throw him in a mass grave to feed the dogs! All the people who confessed just now are dragged out, beaten with [-] boards and kicked out of the farm."

Immediately, someone stepped forward to drag Wanglai away, and dragged a few young men out to receive the board.There was only one girl left, and the two women were still kneeling on the ground.

"Although you didn't bully the master, you also failed to protect the master loyally. Each of you should take five boards down." The old lady felt a little powerless after dealing with the people on the farm.

Ruoxi knelt on the bed again when she saw her, and said: "Grandmother protects her granddaughter so much, she is so moved. If grandma and three wives hadn't arrived today, Ruoxi might not have survived. Ruoxi kowtows to grandma and wives! "After that, he kowtowed and cried again.Qingyu next to her also knelt on the ground and kowtowed. Looking at the master and servant, the old lady couldn't help but shed tears.
