Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

Chapter 558

After a simple lunch, Ling Jingxuan asked Big Baozi to take his younger brothers to take a nap, and he himself came to the hall with Yan Shengrui, and the servants were still standing in the hall, I don't know if he did it on purpose, he didn't even let them have lunch Going to eat, the couple entered the hall and sat down directly at the main seat. Qin Butler tremblingly reported to him about those people who voluntarily left.

"Yan Si, how are you doing there?"

Ling Jingxuan didn't take back the remaining money, and looked directly at Yan Si who had already returned. The servant's affairs were related to the safety of the family, and there was no room for sloppiness. It had to be done thoroughly today.

"All the shadow guards sent out have returned. Among them, eight people have not been found. Fifteen people's identities are unclear, including the steward of the Dongkua courtyard, the steward of the kitchen, the steward of the main courtyard, and the steward of the accounting room."

While talking, Yan Si put a booklet on the small tea table between them, Yan Shengrui flipped through it casually, Ling Jingxuan didn't even glance at it, and sneered: "Very good! Butler Qin, put all the people on it Call me out one by one."

He is so brave, he dares to lie in front of him, and there are more than 20 people in total. It seems that there are no tigers and monkeys in the mountains to call the king. Do you think he is still the same as the former wife of the Chief Secretary? "yes"

No one knows what he wants to do. The only thing that is certain is that he is going to stand up. Which Chief Secretary's wife is not like this?At first glance, this Princess Cheng is a soft-bodied person. At worst, it is a small punishment and a big punishment. Can she really kill them?

With such an attitude, all the people who were named by Butler Qin stood up obediently, without even begging for mercy, and a few of them even had naked contempt in their eyes.

"That's all these people?"

Seeing the crowd divided into two, Ling Jingxuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and Manager Qin said respectfully: "Yes, Princess, according to the records on the roster, there are a total of 23 people."

"Steward Qin, take a closer look to see if everyone matches their names. I don't want to make mistakes."

This is not impossible. Don't some bossy masters like to bully honest people the most? "yes"

Hearing this, Steward Qin took the roster and compared their looks one by one, and after a while he confirmed: "Princess, it's accurate."

"Very good, come on!"

Ling Jingxuan nodded, and his voice suddenly rose. Dozens of well-trained soldiers who had been guarding outside rushed in. Everyone was startled. Before they could realize what was going on, Ling Jingxuan's voice rang again. stand up.

"All of them were dragged out by my concubine and killed."

The ruthless orders exaggerated bloodthirsty and dominance. Only then did they realize that the princess who was still smiling a moment ago changed her painting style at some point. The smile was gone, and the long and narrow Danfeng eyes were full of coldness. It seemed that the whole thing had changed. Like people, the feeling can only be described as horror.

"Yes!"

"No, the princess spares my life, the princess spares my life?"

"The little one didn't lie, princess please spare me?"

"Princess, please forgive me"

The soldiers gave one command and one action, without talking at all. The servants couldn't hold back any longer. They all cried and begged for mercy. They were wrong, and they shouldn't underestimate this princess.

"The execution will be carried out in the open space outside. All the others will be opened for my concubine to see clearly. Anyone who dares to close their eyes or look away will be killed immediately. There will be no mercy."

Sweeping away the previous gentleness and ignoring those people begging for mercy, Ling Jingxuan stood up and said coldly, did they think he spent so much time just trying to clear them out?Hmph, how can there be such a cheap thing?He gave them a chance, and it was they who didn't want the 20 taels of severance pay, so no wonder he made an example of them.

"Princess, please forgive me"

"My lord, help me?"

"clap clap"

"Ah ah ah..."

No matter how they struggled and begged for mercy, under Ling Jingxuan's order, the soldiers dragged them out, and the rest of them followed tremblingly. After a while, earth-shattering screams resounded throughout the yard, even People passing by outside can hear it. Soldiers are no more rough than servants. After a few sticks, those people will be beaten to pieces. They are ordered to watch the servants' legs weak from fright. Not even Butler Qin I have seen such a terrifying scene, killing more than [-] people at the same time, it is a decisive method.

"Papa??"

"Um-"

Every stick hit those people's buttocks firmly. The people who were screaming just now could no longer scream, they could only let out a groaning sound. The blood stained the bluestone ground red, and the strong smell of blood The irritation made everyone's throats itchy, and some little girls couldn't help retching, especially when they saw the bloody buttocks of those people. If they could, they wished they could run away, but without the order of the princess, None of them dared to move, because none of them thought that it would be their turn next.

"Report, Wangfei, all 23 people have passed away."

About a quarter of an hour later, a blood-spattered soldier ran in. Ling Jingxuan slowly put down his teacup and said, "Throw the body to the mass grave and let others come in."

"Yes!"

The soldier responded respectfully, turned around and ran out again. After a while, Steward Qin led the remaining [-] or [-] people back to the hall, seeing their faces turned pale, their lips trembling, and their whole bodies were like sifting chaff. It was obvious that what he wanted The effect has been received, Ling Jingxuan stood up and walked towards them, and after looking at them one by one, he said slowly: "Don't be afraid, my concubine is not a murderer, and I won't kill anyone at will. Only you do your own thing in peace, don't worry about it." If you have any other thoughts, this concubine promises not to treat you badly, and even if your family members outside are bullied, this concubine can also make decisions for you. It's as simple as killing."

He has never been a kind person, but he never takes the initiative to provoke anyone, no matter whether the other party is a wicked person or a good person, as long as he does not provoke him, he will not make things difficult for them, on the contrary, then he can take revenge with his life.

"Yes"

The voices of the crowd were already trembling, Ling Jingxuan took it away when he saw it, walked up to Butler Qin and said in a concentrated voice: "From now on, you will still be the butler, and the stewards and cleaners can mention whatever you dare. The only thing is, anyone who cleans , you are not allowed to enter their rooms without the permission of the master. Second, take these people down and re-register them. You will personally select a few girls with good hands and feet and hand them over to Ling Yun for training. If something goes wrong, I will only recognize you Thirdly, from now on, the front door, back door and side door of the mansion will be guarded. Except for the daily shoppers, other people can only go out once a month. If there are important things at home, such as parents who are seriously ill, they must report to this I can only go out after my concubine gives permission, and I will find some good carpenters later, remember, everything is based on the safety of the master!"

He doesn't want to be a harsh master, but in this situation, even the people who have been screened are not necessarily safe and trustworthy. He has to act cautiously, otherwise if anything happens to the children, he will be in danger for the rest of his life. Living in remorse, for the safety of everyone, he would rather become a devil in the eyes of the world!

"Yes Yes"

Qin Butler was also very frightened, his voice trembled, and his body trembled even more. Ling Jingxuan waved his hands: "Go down, and send some people to clean the outside."

"Yes"

They were finally able to leave. A group of people almost didn't cry. The first impression this princess gave them was too deep and terrifying.

"Ling Yun, go and help deliver the food to the servant's room, you should know what to do, right?"

After they all left, Ling Jingxuan's expression softened a little. Those people's hearts have long been wild. Even if he wasn't sent by others, if he didn't use some tricks, he might be bullied by them in turn. With so many children in the family , he didn't want to take the slightest risk.

"Yes"

Ling Jingxuan, who was nearly two decades old, nodded steadily. Ling Jingxuan had started to train her to train servants when she was in the palace. Now that Ling Jingxuan has become a villain, she will naturally act as a good person and sing a bad face. Sugar can better control them.

"Go."

Go back to the main seat and sit down. Looking at the empty hall, there are only the main seat and chairs on both sides, and nothing in between. Although this is basically the standard configuration of a mansion in this era, Ling Jingxuan just feels that he is not used to it. He secretly decided to ask someone to set up a big round table and put it in the living room later. He and the children were used to sitting around the table chatting and doing things.

"I thought you'd fire them all and buy some people back from Ren Yazi."

Poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him, Yan Shengrui teased softly, when he first arrived at Prince Sheng's Mansion, didn't he just fight and kill for a while, and finally bought dozens of people at once?

"I don't feel so bad. This is not the palace. The palace is our home. It is a place where we will live for the rest of our lives. Of course, we need to cultivate a group of trustworthy people. This place is just a temporary residence. When the problem in southern Xinjiang is resolved. , Xiaoqi will send a new chief secretary over, and it's time for us to go back, I can't do the stupid thing of helping others train confidantes."

Taking the teacup and drinking it up, Ling Jingxuan said calmly, although they could take away the trained servants when they left, but there are already enough people in the Palace and Jingyun Villa, there is really no need for him trouble making.

"Hehe...Xiao Qi has great confidence in us. Before leaving, he asked me quietly if there is any trustworthy candidate who can be qualified for the post of Chief Secretary."

Looking at his daughter-in-law dotingly, Yan Shengrui's eyes told him nakedly that not only Xiao Qi, but he was also very confident and trusted his daughter-in-law.

"Oh? Why didn't he ask me?" Ling Jingxuan raised his eyebrows, the sentimental little seven is already preparing to train the next Chief Secretary.

"Maybe I forgot? But I don't have any good recommendations. The four big families are the cancer of southern Xinjiang. After they are removed, there are actually many follow-up problems. If the new Chief Secretary is not determined, Maybe it will become the next four big families, or be killed by accident or something, most of my subordinates are reckless, fighting is okay, but it is difficult to use their brains."

Yan Shengrui bent his right elbow and rested it on the table. For the chief secretary, it's better to be a civil servant, and he can recommend a prisoner or something.

"No, don't you know a civil servant who is very qualitative and honest?"

While talking, Ling Jingxuan also gave away a mischievous wink for free, Yan Shengrui raised his eyebrows: "Is there such a person? Why didn't I know?"

"Hu Lizhi, the former magistrate of Qingyang County, remember? Not long ago, I heard that the first emperor sent him to Huazhou to be the magistrate, but he is still too clean. If the water is clear, there will be no fish, if he can't understand this point, it may be very difficult for him to get promoted."

Jinghan told him this matter when he became the right minister. At that time, he was thinking about finding an opportunity to transfer him back to the capital. Later, thinking about his upright temperament, he resolutely gave up. However, if he takes over in the future As far as Nanjiang is concerned, he is the perfect candidate.

"It seems that there is such a person, thank you for remembering, I will write a letter to Xiaoqi later, asking him to send him back to the capital to give Jinghan some training."

After he said it, Yan Shengrui decisively remembered that when they returned to Beijing, the emperor had already sent him to another place, thinking back to the days in Lingjia Village, especially when they decided to buy saline-alkali land and sorghum Little by little, if it weren't for this upright and honest county magistrate, they might not have developed so quickly. Counting it, they still owe him a favor.

"Hehe... don't make people crippled by training."

Ling Jingxuan couldn't help chuckling, now Jinghan is more black-bellied than before, for some reason, he suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Mr. Hu.

"Jing Han has a sense of propriety, don't worry."

The couple looked at each other and smiled, yes, there is a sense of propriety, at least it will give him a breath to come to Southern Xinjiang to take up his post.
