Chapter 317 Loyalty

When Shen Yueyao asked this question, her expression was cold and her aura was fierce.

Cao Guang and Reg looked at each other and whispered, "Girl, we know."

"Tell me what you know about this man."

Cao Guang and Reg did not dare to underestimate Shen Yueyao in front of them.

After Shen Yueyao gave them the medicine, they did go see a doctor they knew and trusted. The doctor was surprised by the poison and said he had no way to cure it.

They also inquired about who this person was.

Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be Miss Shen, who was famous in the nearby villages and towns.

He opened several large workshops on his own.

She was also very kind to the villagers. Because of the workshop she opened, the lives of those who worked in her workshop became better.

This person pays a lot of wages and bonuses.

When talking about her, everyone is very grateful.

The more I learn about them, the more shocked I am.

They used to be genuine farmers, but because of famine and the inaction of officials in their county, they almost starved to death and had to become bandits.

Just to survive.

Later, he worked for the Xu family in order to survive.

If there had been a Miss Shen like this in their village back then, would their family members have not starved to death, and would they not have had to become bandits?

Cao Guang and Reg were actually in very complicated moods.

If only they could have met such a master in the first place.

The Xu family may look prosperous on the surface, but they are actually very cruel at heart.

That Miss Xu just wanted to get Miss Shen’s lipstick secret recipe, so she did whatever it took.

Cao Guang said seriously, "To answer the young lady's question, Mr. Ke is very good at scheming. He was the one who got his sister acquainted with the county magistrate back then."

"He was nearly starving to death. The county magistrate rescued him during a disaster relief operation and assigned him to the county government office to run errands. It was said that he knew the magistrate's itinerary, so he deliberately arranged for his sister to meet the magistrate. His sister was beautiful and capable, so she eventually became the magistrate's concubine..."

"After his sister had money, he naturally got a lot of money too. He hired a teacher to teach him, and while he was learning, he worked for the county magistrate. Later, he became a legal advisor. With power in his hands, he liked to amass wealth and accept gifts, and he also liked to oppress ordinary people to show off his status."

"He did all these things behind the county magistrate's back."

"However, there were also people who tried to expose him, but he knew about it in advance and dealt with them all. His sister was favored in the inner court, and he also had great respect with the county magistrate. He could freely enter and exit the county magistrate's inner court and was well-informed..."

Shen Yueyao listened to their words, lost in thought.

Mr. Ke and his sister were typical people who had lived a poor life, so once they gained status and power, they became greedy for money.

They were once oppressed at the bottom of society. Now that they have power, instead of being nice to ordinary people, they want to oppress them to satisfy their perverted psychology.

Shen Yueyao could probably guess their mental state.

Shen Yueyao asked some more questions, and Cao Guang and Lei Ge answered honestly.

After confirming that there was no problem, Shen Yueyao gave them the antidote and said, “This is the antidote. You’ll be fine after taking it.”

"But I'm warning you, don't help the Xu family do anything bad again. You're not allowed to do anything bad. If I find out next time, there will only be poison and no antidote."

Reg said, "Miss, we don't want to follow the Xu family either, but the Xu family's master captured us and forced us to sign a contract to sell ourselves to the Xu family. If we don't obey, they will not only kill me, but also our relatives."

"The Xu family is ruthless and we dare not disobey them."

Shen Yueyao said calmly: "Are you just bound by the indenture?"

Reg nodded and said, "Yes!"

Cao Guang also nodded. If their indentures had not been in the Xu family, they would have run away long ago.

Shen Yueyao said calmly, "This is easy."

"If you promise not to do bad things again, I will help you get the indenture."

It was very easy for her to enter and leave the Xu family.

And there is space, so it is convenient to take things from the Xu family.

The gold, silver and jewelry that were taken out from the Xu family's secret room were still in her space.

This must be the money that the Xu family extorted from ordinary people.

She plans to use it on ordinary people in the future.

Cao Guang and Reg became excited when they heard this.

If someone else said so, they would not believe it. It was because the Xu family was heavily guarded that they could not steal the indenture contract before.

But since Shen Yueyao said so, they believed it.

They didn't know why, but they felt that the Miss Shen in front of them was very capable.

If she said she could do it, they believed she could do it.

Cao Guang hurriedly said, "Miss, if you can help us brothers get the indenture, we will obey your orders from now on."

Reg also hurriedly said: “Yes, we will listen to Miss Shen.”

Cao Guang knew that they could only live a good life with a good master.

It is obvious that Miss Shen is the capable person, and it is definitely their honor to work with Miss Shen.

They must seize this opportunity.

Shen Yueyao was stunned when she heard what they said.

She had never expected that these two people would actually want to follow her.

"You can say, you want to follow me and do things?"

"You know, I have a lot of employees in my workshop. If I recruit people, many people will come."

Shen Yueyao really has no shortage of people to use.

"And I don't need useless people here."

The two people's expressions changed.

Cao Guang looked carefully at Miss Shen's expression and knew that Miss Shen did not say that she would not use them, but that it depended on their value.

Cao Guang said: "Miss, you don't like us to do bad things, so we will definitely not do bad things in the future. Once we acknowledge our master, we will be very loyal and will never betray him."

"We were bandits before, but we had no choice. There was a famine in the countryside at that time, and we couldn't survive, so we had to do that. If we could help it, we wouldn't want to be bandits."

"Now we also want to turn over a new leaf. The people in the girl's workshop are all ordinary villagers. Maybe some things are inconvenient for them to do. We brothers can help the girl get information."

"We escaped because we had our own channels of information. We knew some of the beggars on the street."

Shen Yueyao raised her eyebrows, "Do you know beggars?"

Cao Guang said, "Some of them were from the village back then. They almost starved to death during the famine. They didn't want to be bandits, so they became beggars. That's why we know each other."

After a pause, Cao Guang said, "After becoming a bandit, we sometimes managed to rob some gold and silver from the merchant caravans, and we would secretly send some to them."

Reg nodded and said, "Not only can we gather information, we can also do many things. We have strength and know some kung fu, although..."

Although their kung fu is useless in front of Miss Shen, their kung fu is still good.

Otherwise, Miss Xu would not have thought of taking only Cao Guang with her when she went out.

He really can protect Miss Xu by himself.

Of course, if they meet someone with real kung fu skills, they have no way to deal with it.

Reg also hurriedly said: "Girl, we know people from all walks of life, and I am energetic and can help with harvesting wheat. Oh, and I can read."

When she heard about literacy, Shen Yueyao's expression changed, "You can also read?"

Reg scratched his head and chuckled, "Well, my father used to be a scholar, but unfortunately he died early. When I was young, I studied with him for a few years and learned to read."

"Why didn't you go on the scientific expedition?"

Reg shook his head and said, "I can't even eat enough, how can I afford to study for the exam?"

"Besides, what I learned is just a drizzle."

"I used to be in a bandit group, and I could help record things."

Therefore, the two brothers were able to get along well in the bandit group, and they didn't have to take part in any dangerous situations.

They were also well-informed, so when the imperial court cracked down on the bandits, they quickly ran away.

But he was captured by people arranged by Mr. Xu.

Both men worked hard to promote themselves.

Anyway, they want to live a normal life, so following Miss Shen is the right thing to do.

Miss Shen is an excellent master.

Didn’t you see the people in the workshop working with Miss Shen? The smiles on their faces were not fake.

They got information from many sources, and they all said that Miss Shen was a very good person.

They had never heard of such a thing, even though they had a holiday during the wheat harvest.

The Xu family can't even compare with Miss Shen.

They are smart people. They know that as long as they work hard with Miss Shen, Miss Shen will never treat them unfairly.

Shen Yueyao said: "I'm not saying I'll use you right now. You can help me do one thing first. If you do it well, then I'll use you and help you get your indenture back."

"But I have one thing to make clear. If you betray me, or if you don't follow my rules, then forget about working for me. And you know I have medicine. Even if you try to escape, I have a way to cure you."

The two men were a little excited and repeatedly assured: "No, we will definitely be loyal."

They still want to live a good life.

Besides, it is not easy to follow a good master.

Not to mention the entire county, even in the entire prefecture, I guess there is no master as capable and good as Miss Shen.

They are not stupid.

Shen Yueyao stared carefully at the expressions of the two people.

She can judge what a person is thinking by looking at subtle changes in facial expressions.

Judging from the expressions of these two people, what they said was true and not false.

Shen Yueyao said, "Okay, then you guys try to get evidence of Master Ke accepting bribes. If you can't get it, it would be good to know where he kept it."

In fact, if Shen Yueyao goes to where Master Ke lives, she will probably be able to get the evidence.

I just want to see the ability of these two people to do things.

These two people are smart. They know that most of the people employed in the workshop are ordinary villagers who only know how to do things step by step.

Things like investigating and dealing with Mr. Ke still need people like Cao Guang and Reg to do it.

When Cao Guang heard this, he knew that Miss Shen was giving them a chance.

"Yes, we will definitely do what the girl asked us to do."

They knew that if they couldn't demonstrate their own value, no matter how nice they spoke, Miss Shen would not use them.
