Chapter 285 No Mercy
After hearing the scolding of the yamen servants, the servants in Zhuangzi were all silent. They knew very well that their selling contract was in the hands of the master, and now there were yamen servants coming to the door. As long as they had one There was no way to complain about being beaten or killed, so they all knelt down in unison.
Wu Zhong then took two steps forward and said:
"My lady is kind-hearted and only punishes the culprit. Those who identify the person who deceived the Lord can continue to stay, otherwise the whole family will be sold out. Get out!
Of course, don’t try to bite them randomly. The boss of the Yamen will check it out. If you knowingly commit the crime, the man will be sold to mine and the woman will be sent to a prostitute!”
Wu Zhong's words made the people kneeling below calm down, and then a ten-year-old boy in ragged clothes stood up with a red face, pointed at the village head and shouted:
"I identify Zhuangtou, he deceived his superiors and deceived his subordinates. Half of Zhuangzi’s income went into his family’s pockets. They considered themselves the owners of Zhuangzi and lived in this courtyard.
Wu Liang, the head of Zhuangzi, looked at my sister! He was so good-looking that he forced my sister to be his concubine. Our family didn't agree, so they withheld the seeds so that we couldn't grow food. They wanted to force us to agree!
My sister has a fierce temper and knows that Zhuangtou is like this! He used our family's life to hang her on their doorstep! Everyone in Zhuangzi knew it!" Wu Liang's face turned pale at this time, and he turned around and pounced on the young man fiercely. If he doesn't do human affairs on weekdays, the people in Zhuangzi won't cooperate and directly block his way.
The housekeeper winked, and immediately a strong guard rushed into the crowd, slashed the opponent on the back with a knife, captured the person, tied him up and pushed him to the front.
With the young man taking the lead, people in Zhuangzi began to tell the story of the evil deeds Zhuangtou had done over the years. It can be said that not one of the dozen or so members of Zhuangtou's family was innocent.
Lianyi called Wu An and asked him to take two guards, follow the young boy to Zhuangtou's residence, and copy out all his property.
The Zhuangtou family were all under control. Zhuangtou’s eldest son Kong Wu was weak and wanted to resist, but his arm was cut off by the guards. The government servants on the side just watched and did not stop him. Because these people have sold themselves, they are the private property of the owner, and it depends on the owner's wishes.
After a while, Wu An trotted back, stepped forward and said a few words in the butler's ear. The butler nodded, then came to Lianyi's side, bowed and saluted:
"Miss, there is a lot of money, grain, and silk hidden in Zhuangtou's house."
"Let Wu An take Luo Huai to take inventory. I would like to see this nest of giant rats raised on Zhuangzi. How many things have you been greedy for?”
Lipple’s childish voice sounded, and the surroundings were quiet.
"Yes, miss!"
Luo Huai's status is second only to Luo Ying. He is honest and honest, but he is not stupid either. He knows that the miss is establishing her authority here, so he readily agrees. , ran in to get pen and paper, and left again with Wu An.
"Brother Yamen, our family has raised such a unscrupulous slave. It's up to us to deal with it ourselves."
Lianyi turned around and asked the two Yamen, mainly to give them face.
"Of course it is up to the lady to handle them. They are the lady's private property."
The yamen officer understood the twists and turns and immediately nodded with a smile.
Lianyi nodded and said to Wu An on the side:
"The head of the village is the culprit, and the rod will punish you a hundred times!"
"Yes!"
The guard picked up the head of the village after hearing the order, tied him to a black stool, and took off his pants. , and discovered that the village head was actually wearing a snow-white silk lining, which made Wu Zhong's face turn blue.
“Hit!”
The butler gave the order, and the sound of the board hitting the flesh reached everyone’s ears. Ripple's eyes swept over the tied Zhuangtou family, and then paused for a moment on a woman of the same age as Luo Ying, and then lowered her eyes to block the dark light in her eyes.
This girl was transferred from Zhuangzi by the housekeeper to serve as her personal maid. After all, her two personal maids were killed by gangsters at that time, and the person in Zhuangzi still had the contract of sale. Naturally, it can be used by the original body.
Unexpectedly, the loyalty of this family has long since disappeared, and the only person I brought with me who I could trust turned out to be the helper of the person who secretly committed the murder.
How could the old body of Zhuangtou withstand the guard's plank? The screams gradually weakened and became silent. In only a quarter of an hour, he died.
“Miss, I have died!”
Lianyi nodded, then raised his little finger and pointed at Zhuangtou's fat wife and said:
"She is next!"
"Miss, please forgive me! This old woman is a woman, and she can't do anything. I dare not disobey the arrangements of the men in my family."
"Take off her coat!"
Lianyi was too lazy to talk nonsense with the other party and gave the order directly.
The guard grabbed the fat lady who was showing her teeth and claws, and took off her coat. Underneath was a red silk skirt and gown, dressed like a lady.
Luo Ying's eyes were about to burst into flames, and she cursed angrily:
"You are a brave slave, my master is newly mourning. You know that the lady is coming here to observe her mourning, but you dare to make yourself red. I'll beat you to death." They are all light!”
The people below lowered their heads and wanted to cover their ears, but the sound of the board hitting their bodies and the woman’s high-pitched scream made their bodies shake. Trembling constantly.
There is not much expression on Ripple's face. This village head is like rat shit. If it is not cleaned up, this village will change hands sooner or later.
Zhuang Tou's wife, perhaps because of her thick flesh, persisted for a while longer than Zhuang Tou, and finally died.
Lianyi raised his hand again and pointed at his eldest son who had broken an arm. Then the eldest son struggled desperately and begged for mercy. Unfortunately, after the board fell rhythmically, the voice became smaller and smaller, and finally completely There was no sound.
At this time, the smell of blood has spread, making the teeth of the people kneeling below tremble.
Zhuangtou also has a second son, who looks weak but seems to be literate. He has a good reputation among the people in Zhuangzi. When Zhuangtou went too far, he stood up to dissuade and protect him. As a child in Zhuangzi, no one accused him of doing bad things. It was just because he was the son of Zhuangtou that he was pushed to the front.
Ripple's hand pointed at the opponent without hesitation, and the guard carried him to the newly vacated bench.
"Miss, spare your life! I am wronged! I have never participated in anything at home, and I have tried to dissuade you, so the relationship with my parents has always been at odds!"
"Butler, tell them the reason!"
Lianyi actually didn't bother to explain, but she didn't want to let the people in Zhuangzi think that she was indifferent and too cruel and domineering when she was establishing her power.
"Dissuasion? If you really want to dissuade you, the evil things done by the village leader should not be done. I'm afraid your dissuasion is just for other villagers to see. The purpose is to prevent your father and villagers from letting go. The conflict intensifies!
You are a vested interest, but you still cover yourself with a layer of hypocrisy. You are the most vicious person! How can you learn to read without the support of Zhuangtou? Bookkeeper? ”
The housekeeper looked through the account books that Wu An had sent all the way and asked in a cold voice.
These words reached the ears of the villagers, and they started whispering. The next breath, the sound of the board hitting the flesh sounded again, and everyone shut their mouths again.
