After the reward was over, the punishment came next. Jintong winked at Wu Ping, who understood and, together with Lu Liu, escorted three people out.
Everyone below was whispering to each other, and several women and children ran out of the crowd, shouting about injustice and begging for mercy. The scene became chaotic for a while.
Zhao Laosan stepped forward to stop a few people: "No noise is allowed, Madam will not wrong anyone, please leave quickly."
The women and children were basically obedient and moved aside. There was only an old woman and a young woman. They surrounded a man and cried loudly. Zhao Laosan and others scolded him several times before they became quiet.
Jintong Yun Danfengqi put the tea bowl in his hand on the table, and Qing Lingling said: "Those who are loyal to me, I will ensure that they have food and clothing for their whole lives. If they want to betray me secretly, I will not mind killing them."
!Lu Liu, tell everyone what these three people did."
Lu Liu bowed respectfully to Jintong. He had asked Jintong to arrange for him to come to Niutou Village to help before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Lu Liu pointed to two of the three people: "These two are tenant farmers in Zhuangzi. One is Wen Yongxi and the other is Zhao Dafu. The two of them drew drawings of wine-making equipment, how to make wine, and how to make various wines.
He also stole the remaining lees of various wines and secretly gave them to this man---" Lu Liu mentioned another man: "I want to steal the secret recipe of my wife's wine making."
The man surrounded by the two women was Wen Yongxi. They all shouted that they were wronged and refused to admit it.
Another man named Zhao Dafu was very responsible. He knelt down in front of Jintong, confessed his crime and begged for mercy: "Madam, this villain was so ignorant and blinded that he coveted the five hundred taels of silver and committed this crime. The villain is responsible for the work alone.
, I dare not ask Madam for forgiveness, I only ask Madam to spare the villain’s family and give them a way to live.” After saying that, he kowtowed to Jintong.
"Those who don't know are not guilty. I will not blame your family members. If they are willing to work hard, they will be treated the same as everyone else in Zhuangzi." Jintong helped Zhao Dafu up with his own hands.
Then she raised her voice and said to everyone: "Without solid evidence, I will never convict anyone casually. Lu Liu, please tell everyone carefully."
Lu Liu showed a stack of banknotes, several drawings and a bag of objects to everyone: "These drawings were all drawn and written by Wen Yongxi. On the night of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, I personally caught Wen Yongxi and
The thief contacted us secretly. Let's take a look, is this Wen Yongxi's handwriting?"
Wen Yongxi attended private schools for several years when he was young and knew a few words. People in Zhuangzi often asked him to be a ghostwriter to help write letters and so on. Immediately, several people opened their mouths to prove that this was indeed Wen Yongxi's handwriting.
Lu Liuyang raised the silver notes in his hand: "Of these 4,500 taels of silver notes, 4,000 taels were found from Wen Yongxi's home, and the 500 taels were handed over by Zhao Dafu on his own initiative."
Lu Liu opened another bag, which contained several small bags of items, each containing wine lees with different wine names. "This is the wine lees stolen by Zhao Dafu, and Zhao Dafu has already admitted it."
Zhao Dafu bowed his head in shame. He felt regretful. If he had been willing to work hard, he would still have two ounces of money. Although it was small, it would be a steady flow of money, and at least he would have enough food and clothing. Now after hearing what Wen Yongxi said
The servant's instigation and coveting of the five hundred taels of silver have completely ruined his life!
Jintong smiled coldly: "Zhang He, according to the rules of the Marquis Mansion, deal with these three thieves!"
Zhang He majestically pulled the man who was having sex with Wen Yongxi, pinched his chin, and neatly cut off the man's tongue with a knife. The man's scream was stuck in his throat, but before he could scream, Zhang He hit back and slashed him again
Passing the man's eyes, he continued to raise the knife with his hand and swiftly cut off all the tendons and tendons of the man's hands.
The remaining two people were frightened to death. Although Zhao Dafu was trembling with fear, he still knelt down on the spot. Wen Yongxi, his mother and sister cried and fought again. The two women protected Wen Yongxi and struggled to hold him back.
Escape. Unfortunately, Lu Liu and Wu Ping were all skilled in martial arts, but with just a few moves, the three of them were subdued.
"If Wen Yongxi refuses to admit his mistake, the crime will be increased! If his family continues to make noise, they should go to the thatched house to stay and think about it!" Zhang He held Wen Yongxi in his hand like a chicken with a sullen face, cut out his tongue, and said,
The beheading was done in one go with a wave of the hand, and only the tendons of Wen Yongxi's hands were broken.
The so-called thatched houses are places specially set up by each Zhuangzi to imprison erring slaves. Although they are said to be thatched houses, they are actually built quite tightly and have special personnel to monitor them. It is quite difficult to escape.
Then Zhang He said to Zhao Dafu, who was shaking into a ball: "Zhao Dafu took the initiative to plead guilty and has a good attitude. I will punish you to three years of hard labor in Huanshan."
Huanshan is a group of newly purchased hills in Niutouzhuang. They form a circular shape and are called "Huanshan" for convenience.
Huanshan is being reclaimed and is the most difficult place. Most of the servants who made mistakes in the Hou Mansion are sent here to do hard labor.
No matter how hard it is, it is better than being a mute, blind, and disabled person. Zhao Dafu escaped from death and kowtowed to Jintong with joy along with his family.
Jintong pointed at Wen Yongxi with a poker face: "These four people will be taken to the thatched house and imprisoned." He loudly said to everyone: "The state has national laws, and families have family rules. Those who have merit will be rewarded, and those who are guilty will be punished!"
"
After everyone expressed their loyalty, they went home.
Jintong is playing this kind of coquettish operation with both grace and power at the same time. She didn't expect that this guy Lu Liu is so powerful. It seems that this person used it correctly.
Lu Liu voluntarily signed the death contract.
As a modern person, Jintong also believed that it was very immoral to ask people to sign a deed of betrayal. After all, freedom is precious, and no one is qualified to enslave other people's lives.
But now, she doesn't think so anymore. Slaves are also divided into three, six, and nine grades. Just talking about them, slaves and maids of noble families with real power, not to mention that they will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. Even if they are walking outside, they are the fourth grade.
Officials have to give face.
Those who are favored by their masters, who get rid of their slave status and go out to stand on their own feet, have the backing of their old masters, and no one else dares to make trouble with them.
As for the ordinary people, let alone a ninth-grade sesame official, even some domineering slaves who shouted to be beaten and killed could basically just endure it.
Jintong is a self-pua. There are a lot of house slaves, car slaves, and slaves in modern times. They are all slaves, so don’t worry about who they are slaves for! In short, she will be a good boss, and she will be provided with food, housing, clothes, five guarantees and two golds, and holiday subsidies.
, that’s all.
After so much self-comfort, I felt that I was really a little fairy with a kind heart and a beautiful heart, and any sense of guilt disappeared.
