Mrs. Wang was full of grievances and anger, and she couldn't find a way out, so she started crying again!
The eldest daughter felt sorry for her mother and also wiped away her tears.
Seeing this, the eldest son-in-law had no choice but to have the blue-clothed steward and two maids brought up.
"You lowly slaves, relying on the young master's trust, actually instigated him to rob other people's workshops, which led to today's disaster!"
The eldest son-in-law cursed a few times, not just pretending, because he was really angry at these servants for causing trouble.
He called for help, pinned the blue-clothed steward and the two maids to the ground, and beat them severely with a stick.
The blue-robed steward cried out for justice, and the maid also cried out to the sky, but their mouths were gagged and their hands and feet were tied, so they had no chance to struggle at all.
The chopping board hit the flesh with dozens of crackling sounds, and the backs and buttocks of the blue-clothed steward and the two maids were covered in blood!
All the servants stood not far away, lowering their heads in fear. Those who followed the young master out were afraid that they would also be in great trouble, while those who did not follow the young master out were feeling lucky.
Seeing this, Madam Wang breathed a sigh of relief and told her son-in-law, "Sell these worthless servants! I don't want to see them again!"
Although these slaves had signed death contracts and their life and death were decided by the Wang family, if they were really beaten to death, it would be bad for their reputation if the news got out. Especially at this time, the Wang family's reputation was already bad, so there was no need to make it worse.
The eldest son-in-law also had the same idea, so he agreed happily.
Soon, the human trafficker was called over, and the three half-dead slaves were only paid five taels of silver as a token of respect.
The trafficker felt that he had gotten a good deal and was very happy. He happily took the three people away on a cart and prepared to go back to the slum in the north of the city.
But when they were halfway there, someone suddenly stopped the cart.
By now, night has fallen.
In the darkness, the trafficker couldn't see the person clearly, so he asked tentatively, "Who's blocking the road? What's the matter?"
"Five taels of silver to buy the blue-clothed servant!" The man didn't say much. He threw five taels of silver ingots, then carried the blue-clothed steward away.
Of course the human trafficker was unwilling to do that. He was planning to cure the man and then sell him for a dozen taels of silver.
But the person who came moved too quickly and didn't sound like a good person, so he hesitated again.
It's pitch dark and if you lose your life, it would be a huge loss.
In just a moment of hesitation, the person who came disappeared without a trace. The angry man stamped his feet and finally dragged the remaining two women back to the north of the city...
In the Tai family courtyard in the back alley of the commercial street, Tai Yongning and Tai Yongfeng were having dinner with the old man.
Mrs. Chen, the cook, was a good cook. Because the old man came over suddenly, she added two more dishes and a plate of egg pancakes, then rushed to the dim sum shop to get busy.
Tai Yongning picked up a piece of minced meat tofu for his grandfather with his chopsticks, looking very excited.
Although his family often came over, it was never as good as seeing them every day. He couldn't help but feel lonely, and it was unexpected and pleasant that his grandfather stayed here today.
"Grandpa, try this tofu. Aunt Chen's specialty is this dish, and it goes really well with rice."
Tai Yongfeng also smiled and responded, "Yes, Sixth Grandpa. Every time I have this tofu, I can eat an extra bowl of rice."
The old man was happy to see that the two boys looked good, had more flesh on their faces, and had grown taller.
"I'll tell your mother someday that I've paid the long-term wages. They really did their best to take good care of you."
Just as he was saying this, Tai Jizu rushed back.
Tai Yongning and Tai Yongfeng immediately ran to open the door of the woodshed, and the half-dead steward in blue was thrown in.
The old man asked his children and grandchildren to continue eating. The villagers had just left the city, and he had deliberately brought his eldest son to stay behind because he had some important matters to deal with.
The family of four ate quickly. Tai Yongning and Tai Yongfeng watched the door, while Grandpa Tai and Tai Jizu went into the woodshed.
The blue-clothed steward's eyes were tightly bound, but Tai Jizu poured a basin of cold water over him and he woke up.
"Woo, woo, woo!" The blue-clothed steward struggled in fear because something was stuffed in his mouth.
Tai Jizu pulled the rag out of his mouth and asked in a low voice.
There are more than a dozen questions, ranging from the daily evil deeds of the young master of the Wang family to the relatives and friends who often visit the Wang family.
The young steward didn't want to say anything at first, and kept asking who Tai Jizu was.
Old Master Tai showed no mercy and just took out a firewood stick and beat him until he cried for his parents.
He just gave him a beating and asked a few questions, and in the meantime, he subtly mixed in some Tai family affairs.
The steward didn't suspect anything and answered clearly and honestly.
Finally, Mr. Tai hit him on the back of the head with a stick, sending him back to the dark world, and then he stopped questioning.
"Carry him and take him to a dilapidated yard in the north of the city. If he's lucky enough to be rescued, he'll be saved. If he dies, it'll be considered a sacrifice to the He family. He's a lackey who's done all sorts of evil things, and he doesn't deserve any pity."
The old man gave a few simple instructions, and Tai Jizu carried the person out again.
At this time, every household is eating and there are few people on the streets, which makes it safer than at night.
After all, there are soldiers from the city defense camp patrolling the city at night, so it would be even more difficult to explain if you get caught.
Tai Yongfeng went along to be a helper, while Tai Yongning stayed behind to accompany his grandfather.
Tai Yongning was a careful person by nature, and after experiencing such a thing personally this time, he couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
"Grandpa, this time the Wang family wants to rob our workshop. Is there someone bad behind this?"
The old man nodded and puffed on his empty pipe.
"Originally, I was just speculating, but now it's confirmed. Someone has indeed bribed this lackey to instigate the young master of the Wang family to harm our family."
"Who is it and why does he want to harm our family?" Tai Yongning clenched his fists in hatred.
The old man patted his grandson's shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, Grandpa can still handle these things. You are still young now, and even if you knew, you can't help, and it will only confuse your mind. You should study hard, take the imperial examination and become an official in the future. Then no one will dare to bully our family, understand?"
"I know, Grandpa!" Tai Yongning nodded vigorously and replied, "The teacher said that there will be a Tongsheng exam soon, and he wants us all to try. Grandpa, I will definitely pass!"
"My grandson is amazing!" The old man was happy, but he still warned, "Exams are a test of both ability and luck. As long as you work hard, it doesn't matter whether you succeed or not. At worst, you can just take the test next time!"
Tai Yongning agreed obediently, but secretly vowed in his heart that he must get the title of Tongsheng to give his family confidence.
Maybe one day, he will be strong enough to turn his enemies into ashes with a wave of his hand!
After the old man persuaded his grandson, he puffed on his pipe and stared at the night sky in a daze.
If his guess was correct, the mastermind behind the scenes had lost his patience and his plan had failed this time, so he would probably have to ask for help.
If the other party had not been worried that the action would be too big and the secret would be exposed, I'm afraid they would have sent a lot of people.
Fortunately, he was not stupid and knew to call for help.
I just don’t know if his reinforcements have received the news yet, and when they will arrive?
