Chapter 334: Labor in Exchange



The boss sneered and glanced at everyone.

"Where do you think the steamed buns you ate last night came from?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hands and showed them to everyone.

"See? That's what we earned through our labor."

As he spoke, he pulled over the man who had worked with him yesterday, pulled open his clothes, and pointed at the deep purple marks on his shoulders.

"Open your eyes wide and take a good look. Why do you think so? Ah!!"

"We can do it, but you can't?"

"I was so exhausted after coming back last night that I didn't tell you. Do you really think it would be so easy to get those steamed buns?"

After distributing the steamed buns last night and asking those people to clean the corridor and the floor, he fell asleep.

So there was no time to talk about going to work.

The lying officers opened their eyes wide in disbelief and suddenly sat up.

"This is outrageous. They actually dared to make the officials work in order to eat. Who would believe this if I told them?"

"This is really against Tian Gang! Is there still any law? Doesn't Magistrate Deng care about it?"

"Let's just take the food away. What can they do to us?"

The officers, who had been lying down for a whole day, had almost recovered, but they were just too hungry to move.

They ate half a steamed bun last night and complained a lot in their hearts about the people who went to get the food.

I spent so much money and only got this kind of food. It's useless.

As a result, the little bit of food they had was not bought, but earned by these people's labor.

It's really far away from Da Pu.

Not to mention Qianhuang City, even in the capital, if they were hungry, they could just go into any stall or restaurant to have a meal, and the business owners would not dare to refuse to give them food.

I dare not even say that I will just send them away with steamed buns.

Not to mention that they are only given food if they work, those people don’t even dare to open their mouths.

The chief official looked at the excited faces of the crowd and sneered.

"The adults said that you are not allowed to cause trouble. There is a reason why they asked you to work with the people."

"Firstly, it's to earn some food, and secondly, to listen to the common people's chatter and find out useful information about Qianhuang City."

"Didn't you notice that the personal guard beside the lord is missing?"

After the chief officer finished speaking, he looked at everyone with an unfathomable expression.

When he was delivering food to the imperial envoy last night, he discovered that the personal guard who had always been following the imperial envoy was missing.

The personal guard had been following the master closely all the way, but suddenly he disappeared at this moment, haha...

Everyone was stunned and thought about it carefully. It seemed that when they were cleaning the corridor and the floor of the adults' house, they did not see the personal bodyguard.

My goodness, how dare the personal guard leave the master's side? Is something big going to happen?

Everyone looked at the chief officer with curiosity. He had spoken the most with the adults last night, so he must know something.

"Where is the lord's personal guard?"

Everyone couldn't help but be curious.

The personal bodyguard's martial arts skills are extremely powerful. Even dozens of officers are no match for him.

Otherwise, the imperial envoy would not dare to bring out such a personal bodyguard, mainly because this man is indeed very powerful.

At such a dangerous time, the Lord sent out his personal guards, which must be because of something more important.

Could it be that he was going to assassinate Magistrate Deng?

Magistrate Deng deserved to be killed for his neglect of the imperial envoy.

The chief officer smiled mysteriously and said slowly, "I can't say."

"All you have to do is wait and follow the adults' orders. Don't ruin their business."

"Now, I will take 15 of you to work, and the rest of you will stay at the post station to protect the adults."

How would he know where the Master's personal bodyguard had gone?

When he found that no one was there, he didn't dare to ask the adults.

Who is he to dare to interfere with the arrangements made by adults?

Anyway, he suffered a whole day yesterday just to get those foods.

These people must also experience the same suffering that he has experienced.

The 15 people who were named looked at each other, pursed their lips helplessly, and moved down from the bed.

The chief officer breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone had stopped objecting.

After everyone named was dressed, he continued,

"There will be 15 meat buns distributed to you 15 people at noon. You will eat 8 of them at noon and take the rest back..."

Just as these people were about to shout with their eyes wide open, the chief officer slowly said the second half of the sentence, "To you, sir..."

The few people who were named immediately shut their mouths in dissatisfaction.

They were just about to ask why they didn’t have meat buns yesterday. It turned out that all the meat buns were given to the adults.

That's right, adults naturally eat better than them.

Thinking that I can still eat half a meat bun at noon is better than just eating white flour buns.

The chief officer continued,

"While working over there, you can drink sweet rice porridge anytime. For lunch, you can have one meat bun and two vegetable buns. You can eat the vegetable buns yourself."

"Just do whatever work the supervisor over there tells you to do and don't cause any trouble."

Give them a sweet treat first, then talk about the matter, and the resentment of these officials has indeed decreased a lot.

Knowing that there was rice porridge available at any time, the officials licked their lips unconsciously.

The official, who was very hungry early in the morning, could not help but urge,

"Okay, okay, we've all remembered it, let's go."

"Let's go. We have to do it sooner or later anyway."

"If you go there early, you can have some porridge to fill your stomach for breakfast."

“…”

The officers urged one after another and started moving out.

The chief officer pursed his lips, suppressed his laughter, nodded, and turned to walk out.

I also want to eat breakfast, what a nice thought.

They were hungry all morning before they had lunch yesterday.

Only then did the cooks begin to prepare the ingredients for cooking.

Those stoves haven't even been lit yet, so what's the point of eating?

The chief of the police would not tell anyone about it, so as to prevent these people from making a fuss. He would just get the person there first.

When we got there, the fat supervisor was better at tricking people than him anyway...

.......

"Overseer, good morning!"

The chief constable saw the fat supervisor from afar, waved and greeted him with a smile.

The fat supervisor who was assigning tasks to his men heard the sound, turned around and saw that the official from yesterday had come again with a group of strong laborers, and immediately went to greet them excitedly.

Oh my god!

He thought that he had been too harsh on the officials yesterday, so they wouldn't come today.

I didn’t expect that there would be more people coming today than yesterday.

It seems that these people really like the food cooked by the cooks.
