Chapter 966: Madam, you are the head of the Liu family
Yuzhou, Shuiyun City, Prefect Hall
"Ms. Ruxin is here?"
"Look at all this information."
Chu Qianqiu sat in the prefect's guest room, occupied Master Cui's office, and sat in the center, commanding his guards to rescue the people of Shuiyun City and at the same time investigate the traces of the Blood Demon Sect.
During the investigation, he called his wife to discuss the victim's placement.
Since the whereabouts of the Blood Demon Sect haven't been found yet, let's settle the people first.
"Okay, husband."
Liu Ruxin is the shopkeeper of the Liu family and a local gangster in Shuiyun City. In order to place these female workers affected by the blood mist, the help of the Liu family is indispensable.
Hearing this, Liu Ruxin quickly took the information handed over by Chu Qianqiu, which contained complaints from some female workers and long-term workers.
The Liu family is the richest businessman in Yuzhou, vaguely overshadowing the tea family that monopolizes the tea trade. They have hundreds of thousands of female textile workers under their command, spreading throughout the cotton fields of Yuzhou, breeding mulberry silkworms, and providing Shenwu and Daxia with massive supplies.
textile.
And the Liu family is not a charity, so the treatment of their female workers is naturally not much better.
Ordinary female workers have to work a maximum of eight hours (16 hours) a day, working almost all day long, and the wages are also quite low.
For farmers, this income is considerable, but compared with their labor intensity, it is just some hard-earned money.
Just like the old wealthy landlords in Fengzhou, the food at Liujia Gongfang will not look any better.
"What do you mean, husband, to improve the treatment of these female workers?"
Liu Ruxin knew Chu Qianqiu's nature. For the bottom class of this world, he didn't have the style of a big shot at all. Instead, he seemed to be a good person in the true sense.
Chu Qianqiu nodded, chuckled and said:
"Yes, my lady is absolutely right."
"Because most of the female workers who committed suicide this time were [novices] abandoned by the Liu family."
"There are two types of female textile workers in the Liu family, one is [novice] and the other is [experienced]."
"If a [novice] wants to be transformed into a [experienced], he must work for the Liu family for free for at least three years, and then be inspected for three years, and finally he can become a [experienced]."
"The female workers who are useless will be kicked out by the Liu family."
The female textile workers of the Liu family belong to the urban class. Their income is very high. Some of them can even buy properties and land. This is true.
The female textile workers of the Liu family are not that glamorous. Many of them even work part-time to pick up customers, those low-quality customers that are not uncommon in Yihongyuan and brothels. This is also true.
The secret between the two lies in the difference between "novice" and "experienced".
The Liu family has established a hierarchy of female workers, recruiting a large number of novices, and at the same time giving higher wages to "experienced", that is, senior female workers, to attract novices to work for the Liu family for free.
Experienced people are used to set examples, and novices are used to exploit.
Chu Qianqiu was familiar with various capitalist operations in his previous life, and when he came to the Liu family, he could see these tricks at a glance.
Many of the black societies in previous lives also played this way.
Let the younger brother see how happy life is as a boss and a cadre, so that the younger brother can work hard with the minimum wage.
"Husband, you are not working for free."
"The Liu family also gave these apprentices food and part of their remuneration."
"If my husband thinks it is unreasonable, I will let the master change my identity."
Liu Ruxin quickly defended the Liu family's operations, fearing that the Liu family would be reorganized by her husband.
"Don't worry, madam, I'm not angry."
"In this world, the Liu family's workshop at least provides such a job."
Chu Qianqiu said gently.
"So you have to take care of this matter. Try to improve the treatment of the novices as much as possible, and don't let the Blood God take advantage of it."
"Blood God?"
Liu Ruxin asked with some confusion. Although she believed that the suicide phenomenon of female workers was abnormal, she did not find out any more information.
"Yes, Blood God."
Chu Qianqiu threw out more information, and Liu Ruxin took one look at it and was shocked.
"Xu Zishuang has already investigated clearly. This ritual is related to the Blood God."
"This blood god is the god worshiped by the Blood Demon Sect. He is one of the evil gods left over from ancient witchcraft. He is good at confusing all living beings with illusions and likes human sacrifice."
"This time the Blood Demon Sect took advantage of the resentment generated by the Liu family's oppression of the [novices], used the resentment to cast spells, and spread the relevant teachings about the Blood God in their sleep."
"The leader of the Blood Demon Sect cast a spell himself, giving these novices a happy dream, and they also got the potion left by the Blood God."
"Madam, can you guess what kind of potion this is?"
"Husband, it's not Shenxian Powder, is it?"
Liu Ruxin took a breath of air-conditioning. She did not expect that such a strictly prohibited medicine would be popular among the Liu family's workshops.
"Yes, this potion can cause people to have strong hallucinations, which corresponds to the illusion of the Blood God."
"Let us consider the mental reaction of the female workers."
"What they are facing are the illusions of the blood god, the spiritual induction of martial arts masters, and the special potions that make them happy."
"On the other hand, there are novices who have been working for three years and still cannot become experienced, and they still worry about being kicked out."
"With the interaction of the two forces, this large-scale suicide incident in Shuiyun City is not surprising at all."
After Chu Qianqiu read the joint investigation between Yang Guang and Dou Xiuying, he understood the methods used by the Blood Demon Sect in this regard, as well as the tactics deployed by the other party.
After all, he has already advanced to the real form, so he naturally knows the convenience of playing the role of a god. It cannot be that only Chu Qianqiu can play the role of a god and others cannot do it.
[The leader of the Blood Demon Sect, his real purpose is probably to play the role of the Blood God and advance to his true form. 】
[This grand death-seeking case is the occasion when the Blood God was born.]
【There's just one thing I haven't figured out yet.】
[Why did he choose this time to take action? 】
Based on these signs, Chu Qianqiu quickly judged the whole story.
It's just that he still doesn't understand something.
The head of the Blood Demon Sect can completely wait for Chu Qianqiu to leave before holding a grand ceremony.
It is unbelievable that he happened to hit this point in time. He was simply seeking death.
After all, if a master of martial arts were to confront Chu Qianqiu head-on, he might not be able to take a single move.
Chu Qianqiu was blocked from the secrets and had no way to rely on intuition to judge the truth of the matter. He could only slowly think about countermeasures.
[And isn’t he afraid of being chased by Maha Temple? 】
[Secret concealment is not omnipotent. For example, Luo Shu from Zhishan Academy can detect the secret concealed by the little fox.]
[Then it is very likely that it will take a Sky Fox with six tails or above to be sure that he can escape. 】
[Should we inform Zen Master Zuyuan? Let him fly over to handle the matter, or ask the gods from the Maha Temple. 】
[Don’t rush for now, I’ll first see what other methods the leader of the Blood Demon Sect has, so that I can annihilate them one by one. 】
[Let Maha Temple owe me ten more favors. When I have enough favors, I will give you a piece of flowers.]
Liu Ruxin understood what Chu Qianqiu meant at the moment he was thinking about it, and quickly added.
"Husband, I understand."
"Leave the newbie matters to me. I will definitely persuade the head of the family to treat the female workers well."
Liu Ruxin said quickly.
"My wife made a mistake, she was not trying to persuade the head of the family."
"But you are now the head of the Liu family."
Chu Qianqiu smiled and fulfilled the promise they had made.
"Husband, if you do this, someone in the family will be dissatisfied."
Liu Ruxin said with some worry.
"You have to accept it even if you don't accept it."
"Xiuying."
"My subordinate is here!"
Dou Xiuying ran over happily.
She has not had any good fighting opportunities against the enemy these few times, and she has been impatient for a long time.
"You take a team of personal guards to escort Madam Ruxin to the Liu family."
"Let Madam Ruxin inherit the position of head of the family."
"If Master Liu is dissatisfied with anything, let him tell me."
"I obey my orders!"
Dou Xiuying agreed immediately. Only Liu Ruxin was embarrassed for two seconds before she said:
"I obey my husband in everything."
Very good, since the Blood Demon Sect has targeted these female workers, there should be someone within the Liu family cooperating, or there should be some clues.
Just because the secret is covered up doesn't mean there aren't any flaws.
Chu Qianqiu prepared an ambush and caught the tail of the Blood Demon Sect.
