267 The Secret Conspiracy of Two Girls
Regarding this "planetary life blood", Chen Xiansong did not find the correct way to use it for a while, so he placed it in his study and took Bai Min to work at the Soul Deep Thought Association. Balff has now changed from a guard to a butler. He routinely inspected the castle and found that the servants were working very seriously and did not feel tired. So he went to the construction site under the hillside to supervise the work. Now the tavern is almost completed, and many things need to be decided by people. Chen Xiansong, as the lord, has always been very "busy", so naturally he can't let these things trouble him, so Balff makes the decision. After all, helping the master handles trivial matters is also what a competent butler should do.
After Balff left, there were only a few female relatives and a few female servants left in the castle. The little guy went out to teach Jessica, and Alex's writing. Huilian enjoyed the scenery on the balcony, while Catherine was making the little guy's new clothes, using five-color brocade as materials, while Alice and Ruth went out to buy ingredients.
There were not many people in the castle, only six servants, all middle-aged village women summoned from the Graystone Village. They had no skills and had their husbands died. They pulled two or three children. Chen Xiansong specially summoned these people to clean their castle in order to give them a way out.
After cleaning the floor she was responsible for, one of the maids lowered her head out of the castle, returned home and sat for a while, then changed into inconspicuous clothes, went to the hill next to the Graystone Village, and in a small forest hidden by the roadside, she burned some dead leaves, made some black smoke, and then put them out, and then waited anxiously and uneasy.
Not long after, Chen Guangrong appeared next to Linzi. He looked around for a while, walked up and said, "Darks, is the information you released?"
"Sir, Noble." The village woman smiled flatteringly, bent her waist very low: "It was the fireworks I lit."
"What information do you have to tell me?" Chen Guangrong stared at the middle-aged woman with some disdain, and stopped far away from the other party. He hated the old and torn clothes on the other party, as if he could smell a strong sour smell as soon as he approached: "If it was a trivial matter, I wouldn't pay you a copper coin."
"I think... it should be worth some money." The village woman stumbled with some disconfidence and pursed her dry lips twice, then said in a frightened manner: "After all, the lord values that thing very much, and it looks very precious. It is so beautiful that I have never seen such a beautiful thing."
Chen Guangrong was a little unbelievable. These villagers had no knowledge. They had never seen any good things. It was probably a gold coin that they were also a great treasure in their eyes. However, these people were people who were bribed by Uncle Six. With this, he had to perform Uncle Six's mission well: "Then tell me what a beautiful thing is that thing."
"It's square... so big." The village woman gestured for the shape: "It's green, and there's a little light inside. It's very beautiful. You have to believe me!"
Chen Guangrong was confused and had a little impatient face. Although the village woman had no ability, she still knew how to observe her face after living for decades. Seeing that Chen Guangrong seemed to be unbelievable, she was anxious. She tried hard to recall something important to me. She suddenly said, and she said happily: "By the way, the little lady seems to be afraid of that thing. She also asked it to do something 'dead ball life blood'. It seems to have a special effect on people."
The little lady is Frances, and people in the village call her that.
Hearing this, Chen Guangrong finally became interested. The term "Dead Ball Life Blood" was not simple. He asked: "Is there any other information worth mentioning?"
The village woman shook her head: "No more. Tonight, when the lord was having breakfast, he just chatted with the little lady with that thing, and then put the thing in the study and now he goes to work in the city."
Chen Guangrong's eyes lit up: "Then what if you secretly take it out?"
The village woman shook her head vigorously, and she begged: "Negotiable, I will tell you the news. I am very sorry to the lord. If I steal the things, how can I gain a foothold in the village in the future? Don't make things difficult for me."
Chen Guangrong said: "You steal a gold coin. With this gold coin, you can enjoy and drink delicious food in the future, and you can even move outside to live. How about it?"
The village woman's eyes were full of greed. After a while, she struggled and said, "Neighbors, don't make things difficult for me anymore. The lord's things are not so easy to take. If he steals the lord's things, he doesn't need to give orders. If the people in the village know that I did it, they will chase me into the city and beat me to death. The lord is very nice to us. I will tell you this news and I am very sorry to the lord."
"Then forget it." Chen Guangrong thought about it and thought that this thing should not be done randomly. If he didn't know how to use it, it would be a waste. If Chen Xiansong knew that it was done by himself, Xue Yan's business would be 100% ruined. He threw a silver coin and threw it on the foot of the village woman: "Take it, your information is pretty good, worth a silver coin. If there is any similar news in the future, just tell me."
Then he turned around and left. He felt that being with these lowly people for an extra second was a torment.
The village woman picked up the silver coins, smiled for a while, then looked around with a stinging eyebrows, and tiptoed to leave quietly. A few minutes later, a thin girl with dry firewood on her back came out of the grass beside her. Her eyes were quite bright, but her expression was quite angry: "This woman dared to betray her master, bastard."
Linda has been in Graystone Village for more than a month. Chen Xiansong arranged a house for them and gave them about one acre of land each. Although the spring plowing has long passed and they cannot grow grain in the field, Balff arranged for them to pick up Mu Zi on the mountain every day. According to the quantity, each of the slaves worked harder every day and could also get a few white bread and two to three copper coins.
In Linda's opinion, Chen Xiansong's behavior was already the kindest nobleman in the world. She had never heard of her master living in a house for slaves, she had never heard of her master farming a piece of land for slaves, nor had she ever heard of her master paying slaves for wages.
Only those who have been slaves, only those who have been desperate, know how rare and precious the master with this kind of character is. Linda does not allow such a good person to be harmed or betrayed, but she also understands that she is just an ordinary slave. She is not qualified to execute a person's life and death, so she decides to tell Chen Xiansong about this matter and let him make a decision.
She returned to the castle, sat on a small slope with her chin, waiting quietly, and the firewood was placed on the other side by her. The two mercenaries in charge of guarding outside the castle did not drive her away when they saw her. Logically, civilians were not allowed to stay in front of the nobles' homes. But they also knew that the little girl came back with the lord some time ago, and the lord seemed to take good care of her, so they turned a blind eye and pretended that she had not seen it.
It was almost noon. Linda was still waiting, she was very patient. Anyone who had been a slave would be as patient as her. As a result, Linda did not wait until Chen Xiansong came back, but instead waited for the little guy.
"Who are you? What are you doing sitting in front of our house!" The little guy who had just finished teaching came back from the village, followed by two mercenaries, responsible for defending her safety. Generally speaking, the little guy doesn't like to play with his peers and thinks they are too childish. But this thin little girl sitting seemed a little different. Her eyes were bright and mature.
"Miss, I am Linda. I am the slave brought back from outside by the master." Linda knelt on one knee and bowed. After being a slave for a long time, this behavior was already an instinct. Besides, the little guy was full of nobleness in his charm. When ordinary civilians saw her, the polite girl, let alone Linda, who was born as a slave: "I'm waiting for the master to come back here, and I want to tell him something very important."
"Then tell me, I'll tell the teacher again." The little guy said casually: "Depending on your appearance, you have to pick up firewood to eat, which will waste your time."
"This matter is very important, I want to tell the master myself." Linda also has a stubborn personality. Although Frances' identity is indeed noble, she only recognizes Chen Xiansong as the master.
After all, it was a girl from the noble family. The little guy knew that there were some things she could not handle on the offside, so he said, "Then come in and sit in the house. Now the sun is over, it's very sunny. If you stay there, you may have heatstroke."
Linda thought for a while, then put the firewood aside for the time being and followed the little guy into the castle.
After entering the castle, Linda subconsciously looked at her cloth shoes, and she breathed a sigh of relief after she was indeed very clean. These shoes were also given to her by Chen Xiansong. Before that, Linda had never worn shoes whether she was going up the mountains and down the river or doing hard work, so she cherished these pairs of cloth shoes, and would wash them clean as long as they were a little dirty.
"Susan, come here with a cup of milk tea." When the little guy entered the house, he shouted to an aunt maid standing beside him.
Not long after, a cup of mildly warm milk tea with fragrance was brought up. This thing was a luxury for ordinary people. When the little guy placed such milk tea in front of Linda, the latter was shocked and immediately took a few steps back. He did not dare to touch the white and bright porcelain cup, nor did he dare to drink it. She was afraid that her dirty body would stain her master's utensils.
"Drink, if the teacher knows that I bring the guests in but doesn't treat you, you will definitely be angry." The little guy took Linda's hand, forced her to sit on the chair, and then sat aside himself, then smiled and said, "I heard from the teacher that you are comrades who share weal and sadness, is that true?"
Linda shook her head vigorously, and she said admirably: "It's not a trouble, it's the master who saved us and gave us houses and land to survive. We will do whatever the master asks us to do!"
Looking at Linda's firm eyes, the little guy was stunned for a moment, then a purple light flashed in her eyes and said, "But you are so weak, how can the teacher use you?"
This is a big truth, Linda lowered her head in disappointment.
"If I can make you very powerful, it will hurt a little. Would you like?" the little guy lowered his voice and whispered: "I also want to help the teacher, but this method is a bit dangerous for one person. I have no idea. If two people have the success rate, the success rate will be very high. Since you want to help the teacher, I also want to help, how about we work together."
Linda nodded vigorously! Like a woodpecker.
"First drink the milk tea, then we go upstairs and say slowly that we can't let others know, otherwise the teacher will stop us." The little guy looked mysterious.
Chapter completed!
