Crowned with Pearls

   Chapter 900 Ninety-nine · Deterrence

   The Su family on the other end was busy in a group and returned home from the city gate. Su Yao began to call the stewards and stewards-in-laws to go to the council hall to assign errands.

   Yu Dong was injured and was not in the house. It was his daughter-in-law who came. Now her eyes are red, she obviously heard the news and cried a lot.

   Although everyone dared not say anything, most of them still secretly peeked at her.

Everyone said that the tree fell and the hozen was scattered. Now that something has happened to the Su family, even Yu Dong, who has always been proud of the mansion, can be beaten like this. Wouldn't it be possible to be the master of this welfare without marrying for the rest of your life?

   Once she fails, there will be a day when she fails in this house.

  It’s okay to have children, but many people who only wrote documents for refuge can’t help but have other thoughts.

  Su Yao usually speaks the truth in the house, but now that everyone has other thoughts, they naturally don't think it's time to listen to this fourth young lady.

  Su Yao sat silently on the seat of the council hall and waited for a long time before asking Yancao: "Everyone is here?"

Yan Cao's face was not very good-looking. Originally, she was very angry for Su Yao after such a scene at the gate of the city, but when she came back to her own house, there were still so many things, she endured it, she couldn't bear it. She bit her lip and shook her head: "Girl, it's been an hour, and no one has come yet."

   After an hour, the servants who were farthest to live also came, but there were still people who didn't come. It seemed too far-fetched and prevaricate for any reason.

  Su invited the book in his hand to close, straightened his sleeves and stood up: "Don't come if you don't come, let's go, go out and have a look."

   Yancao agreed and hurriedly followed Su Yao out of the door of the conference hall.

   The servants in the yard had already filled the yard in rows, and when they saw Su Ying coming out, they all saluted in unison.

  Li Rui wiped the sweat from his head and was a little embarrassed: "County Lord, there are still some people who haven't come"

Su Ying snorted, with no expression on her face, she stretched out her hand to take the roster from Yancao, glanced at it and handed it to Li Rui: "Butler Li, come and read, besides Yu Dong, who else is there? If you don't arrive, you circle it. 0"

  Li Rui hurriedly agreed, took the roster and began to roll the call out loudly.

There were still many people responding at the beginning, and after the end of the recitation, there was no one who responded, and when all the recitations were finished, the expression on Li Rui's face became even more ugly: "Girl, the elders who are serving in our house. There are a total of 167 people, big and small, and now there are 120 people.”

   He was a little nervous. After all, he was a housekeeper. Now that something like this happened, no matter what, he couldn't blame him.

  Su Yao glanced at him and saw that he was anxious and anxious, but did not mean to feel guilty or shirk his responsibility, so he asked in a deep voice, "Apart from Yu Dong, there are forty-six people who didn't come, right?"

The sweat on Li Rui's head was no longer wiping away, so he nodded hurriedly: "But the four eldest girls and the two maids that the old lady took care of in the room are not among the forty-six people, and there is also the uncle's wife's place. And some young masters and young ladies have to get rid of them too"

Su Yaoyang interrupted: "The old lady's room has already been agreed, just let Huang mama come and listen. As for several young masters and young ladies and uncle's madam, they only keep people to watch the door, and the others People are coming, just say it straight, cut these people off, how many people still haven't come?"

   "There are still twenty-three people." Li Rui's voice couldn't help lowering a lot, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Su Yao's expression.

   The house has been cleaned up so many times, but I didn’t expect that there would still be so many people eating and crawling in the end.

   He really had no face to see Su Ying.

   There was no sound on the field, even if there were some who were careful before, but now hearing this conversation between Li Rui and Su Yao, they didn't dare to make any more moves, for fear of angering Su Yao.

Su Yao was not angry, she just twitched the corners of her mouth, snorted, and lowered her eyes lightly: "Forget it, Butler Li, you can count the list of these twenty-three people, if you have written documents for refuge, let them themselves Redeem your body, hand over the money for your redemption, and you are not allowed to take the rest of your belongings with you. From this moment on, you are not allowed to enter the gate of the mansion. As for all the children born in the family, they are all sent to the government.

   The atmosphere in the council hall became even colder and stiffer, and only the breathing of everyone could be heard.

   Everyone, look at me, I look at you, and finally all bowed their heads.

   Whoever wrote the document of taking refuge, how could he get the money for redemption all of a sudden? If you can't come up with it, isn't that the same as finding ways to raise money?

  It is even worse for those who are sent to the government. The fugitive slaves will not end well in Da Zhou.

  Su invited rubbed his eyebrows.

   Although she looks very calm on the face, in fact, she has already made any plans along the way.

  The things in this world are inherently realistic, and everyone has to look at the pros and cons, even if there are some relatives, not to mention friends and servants, as well as those shopkeepers in the shops outside? There are so many that there is an accident in the master's house, and the servants donated money and absconded. This is not new.

  So the people in the mansion were fluctuating, she had expected it.

   After the incident happened at the gate of the city where the old lady was stunned, Su Xingyi was humiliated, and Yu Dong was beaten, she even more guessed that the people in the house must have some bad intentions.

   This is just a prelude.

   In the end, if she doesn't make a tough response, these people will intensify and even do worse things in the future.

She looked around the crowd and asked in a deep voice, "I know that the news of the elder brother's accident has made everyone very uneasy, and they feel that if they continue to stay in the mansion, they are afraid that their future will not be guaranteed. , even if you say it, I won't force you to stay, as long as you want to leave, you can stand up and go to Butler Li to let you know."

  Su Yao finished speaking, but no one moved.

  Some people who had really thought about this idea also gave up.

  Su Yao nodded: "No more? Since there is no more, then my ugly words will be put in front. If someone tells me to find out that I am sabotaging my work, or spreading rumors outside, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

   Everyone nodded their heads in a hurry.

Su Yao pointed out that Li Rui's family and Huang Ma's came out, and you will be responsible for controlling the entry and exit of the girls and women in the second door. As long as it's okay, you are not allowed to go out of the second door during this time. If you want to go out, you can Write down the name, purpose and time, and keep it for later inspection.

   Li Rui's family and Huang Ma both agreed respectively.

  Su Yao then instructed Li Rui and Hu Ying and the others: "The stewards and servants of the outer court are all under your control. During this time, except for the purchased ones, no one else is allowed to go out."
