Chapter 164 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey
Yun Luan turned to look at Butler Yun: "Is everyone here?"
Butler Yun nodded: "Miss, everyone is here."
Yun Luan was in severe pain, but she gritted her teeth and endured it. She pursed her lips and leaned back on the Taishi chair to feel more comfortable. She stared at those people with her eyes, scanning them one by one. The servants standing at the bottom had never seen the Fourth Miss so majestic, and they couldn't help but feel a little more uneasy. When those clear eyes glanced at them, they lowered their eyes with a guilty conscience, and almost did not dare to talk to them. Yun Luan looked at each other. Yun Luan pretended not to know, and his cold voice resounded faintly around. "Everyone should have heard that someone just stole things from the house and ran away. I will ask people to arrest those who stole things and ran away. Catch them back and send them to the government office, where they will be tried by the county government to determine their guilt. According to the law of Nanchu, any slave who commits the following crimes and steals his master's things and escapes will be sent to the government office, and most of them will never return."
As soon as he said these words, everyone turned pale in shock. Many of them were lucky that they didn't run away, otherwise their fate would have been the same as those people. The slaves who escaped thought that there was no man to restrain them in the general's mansion. The mansion, and the general's wife was in a coma, so they had the courage to do such stupid things. Little did they know that the fourth lady's methods were more fierce and ruthless than the wife's. This pressure was so overwhelming that Everyone was gasping for breath. Among them was Mrs. Zhao. Among the escaped slaves, her nephew was among them. At first, she encouraged her nephew to escape. She originally planned to sneak into the madam's yard and steal another one. Who knows if the valuable things are stolen before they can be stolen, the housekeeper asked all the slaves to gather in the front yard. When she thought about the disaster that her nephew was about to suffer, she couldn't help but tremble in her voice and began to question Yun Luan: "Four Miss, we serve the masters in the General's Mansion, and we have always done our best and conscientiously. With the general and the eldest son gone, we just feel that the sky has fallen. We are no better than the masters. There are seniors and juniors, and we have to consider our family. . ”
"So some of them have done some wrong things. You can just catch them and give them a little punishment. How can they be escorted to the government? Doesn't this cost their lives? Please, Miss Fourth, if you have a lot of them, please spare them." Next time, they will definitely not dare..." Yun Luan's eyes fell on Mrs. Zhao with a cool smile. She looked at the old servant's face and suddenly remembered an old incident from her previous life. At that time, Yin Luan Bai Lian was taken into the general's mansion by her, and the slave Yin Bailian secretly bribed was this Mrs. Zhao. It was this Mrs. Zhao who led the officers and soldiers to open the door of the study, followed Yin Bailian's instructions, and personally found the treasonous letter from the study. .Although in this life, due to the turn of events, Yin Bailian had no chance to bribe Mrs. Zhao, but this old slave was fundamentally bad. Yun Luan narrowed his eyes slightly, I am afraid that some of the escaped slaves are related to her. Right? That’s why she was so bold and dared to challenge her authority... Yun Luan raised his hand and smashed the tea cup in his hand at Mrs. Zhao: "There are no rules, the following are stupid things. .Butler Yun, Zhang Zui... took her bond of sale and handed her over to Ren Yazi."
She didn't even find a reason, and directly condemned this evil slave. She had nothing to say to a slave who cheated on others like this. Since this person was eager to jump out, she might as well kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and establish her authority... The tea cup fell on Mrs. Zhao Mrs. Zhao was beaten so hard that she screamed. When she heard that Yun Luan was going to sell her, her eyes were filled with fear. Regardless of her embarrassment, she quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Miss Fourth, calm down, old slave...old slave I have never done anything wrong. This old slave is unjust..." Steward Yun stepped forward directly, raised his hand and gave her a slap in the face. "You bastard, Miss is now the head of Taiping County personally named by His Majesty. You call me Fourth Miss." It's disrespectful to the Holy One. Come here, slap her twenty times, as a warning...and then sell her to Ren Yazi..." The two strong women immediately responded and quickly blocked her with a piece of cloth. Mrs. Zhao's mouth dragged her down. For a moment, everyone was in danger. When the slaves saw this scene, their faces all turned pale. They stood there shivering, fearing that Miss Fourth would kill her if she was unhappy. They beat them with sticks and sold them to Ren Yazi. Yun Luan's face was calm, and he looked quietly at the frightened slaves below. With his majesty established, now it's time to show mercy. "Everyone of you. When I arrived at the General's Mansion, everyone signed the contract. Don't think that if my father and my eldest brother are gone and my mother is ill, the General's Mansion will collapse and cease to exist. I came out of the palace and His Majesty has just consecrated I am the Lord of Taiping County...the imperial edict from my father and eldest brother will be issued later."
"My mother is still a first-class wife... As long as there is a son of the Yun family in the General's Mansion, our General's Mansion will not fall. Now, the General's Mansion needs loyal servants who can advance and retreat together without any dissent, not those who are half-hearted and sometimes A villain who is always thinking about betraying his boss for glory and harboring evil intentions..." "Don't think that I, the county boss, is unkind... Now, I will give you a chance to make your own choice."
The servants looked at Yun Luan in surprise. They didn't quite understand what the Fourth Miss was going to do, let them choose freely. What did this mean? Yun Luan supported the Taishi chair and stood up slowly: "Now the General's Mansion , The wind and rain are turbulent, and it is human nature for you to have wandering thoughts. Instead of making a fuss and ending up unhappy, why not talk about it today..." "I won't stop anyone who wants to leave the General's Mansion. I will ask the housekeeper to give you the contract and give each of you twenty taels of silver. The power should be regarded as compensation for your hard work in the General's Mansion these years..." "Of course, if someone is unwilling to leave, he is willing to work with the General's Mansion. For those who advance or retreat, the housekeeper will give you fifty taels of silver as compensation. For the time being, our general's office will keep the contract and so on. If you want to leave one day, the general's office will not force you to keep it. By then, there will be one hundred taels of silver. Compensation in silver."
