Wang Sheng whipped him and cursed, "How dare you say I shortchanged you by fifty cents? Are you blind or have a weak brain?"
The male worker who was beaten was also a stubborn man. While being beaten, he gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you shortchanged me by 50 wen, you shortchanged me by 80 wen last month. My mother is seriously ill and needs medicine every day. If you shortchanged her by a few dozen wen, she won't be able to survive."
"It's none of my business whether your mother lives or not! If you don't want to do this, get out of here."
After Wang Sheng finished speaking, he swung the whip again and hit the male worker. But just as he raised the whip, he heard a whoosh and a flying arrow shot out, piercing Wang Sheng's wrist steadily and accurately.
"Ah!" With a scream of pain, it was Wang Sheng's turn to roll on the ground.
Everyone in the hall was startled and drew their swords to prepare for defense, but they saw several guards in brocade clothes coming in, and a woman walked in among them.
The woman was extremely beautiful. She was wearing a rosy-colored dress with a tight waist and sleeves, which matched her raised eyebrows, bright red lips, and the way she walked with her head held high, giving her a heroic and valiant demeanor that was rare among women.
"You, who are you?"
A young man who helped Wang Sheng up asked timidly.
Judging from the clothes of these guards, they look a bit like the guards in the palace.
Why did the guards from the weaving workshop come to the city palace?
However, the fabrics for the palace were all supplied by the royal family's weaving workshop. Could it be that there was something wrong with the fabric and they were causing trouble?
Wang Sheng covered his painful wrist. He had already seen the woman clearly. Although this woman was very different from the previous ones, he could still recognize her eyebrows, eyes and facial features. It was Yu Jinshu, the young lady of the Wang family mansion.
"Young Madam."
Yu Jinshu walked up to Wang Sheng, looked at the arrow in his hand coldly, raised his hand to grasp the arrow rake, smiled grimly, exerted a little force on his wrist, and turned it...
"Ah!" Wang Sheng screamed, and blood dripped onto the floor, which was particularly eye-catching.
He screamed several times before he recovered. With a twisted face, he looked at Yu Jinshu and said in agony, "Young Madam, I am the head of the weaving factory."
"Hmph!" Yu Jinshu snorted coldly, "It's precisely because you're the head of the weaving factory and you're incompetent that the fabrics delivered to the palace for years have all been substandard, causing the palace's internal affairs department to terminate the contract with the weaving factory."
"Ah!" Wang Sheng felt guilty, but he looked at the arrow that had pierced his hand bone and said, "Young Madam, this shouldn't hurt me this much."
Yu Jinshu pointed at the whipped male worker on the ground and said, "You've committed atrocities in the weaving mill, embezzling workers' wages, maliciously beating people, and bullying female workers. You've also driven down the price of silk cocoons for mulberry farmers, causing people to starve to death in the mulberry fields. Every sin you've committed is enough to make you die a thousand times over."
Two guards came up and arrested Wang Sheng.
Wang Sheng cried, "Young Madam, please, take care of my wound first. It hurts so much."
Yu Jinshu sneered: "Okay! I'm a woman and I'm not strong enough, so why not let him help you!" She looked at the male worker who was being whipped.
When the male worker saw the young lady coming to support him, he ignored the pain in his body and immediately got up, "I'll do it."
Wang Sheng was so scared that he wanted to step back, but the two guards held his shoulders tightly, preventing him from moving at all.
As soon as the male worker got his hands on it, he twisted the arrow rake. The tip of the arrow was a barb, and if he pulled it hard, the bone would be pulled out.
Wang Sheng howled in pain like a pig being slaughtered.
At this time, many workers came running outside.
The majority of workers in the weaving factory were female, and many of them had been sexually assaulted by Wang Sheng, but they dared not speak out. Now, seeing Wang Sheng being tortured, they all applauded.
The master of the Wang family finally came to punish this evil man.
Yu Jinshu ordered the guards to tie up everyone around Wang Sheng and interrogate them one by one.
She walked out, stood on the steps, and looked at the workers in the textile factory.
"Young Madam, Young Madam..."
Wang Sheng was punished and the workers cheered.
"Everyone," Yu Jinshu spoke, and everyone fell silent. "After yesterday's investigation, I've learned a portion of the crimes Wang Sheng committed against you. You can rest assured that Wang Sheng will be sent to prison and brought to justice. Tell me about any unfair treatment or abuse you've suffered. I will record each and every one of them against Wang Sheng and his people, and ensure they receive the punishment they deserve."
The female workers all lowered their heads.
They dare not speak out about the abuse they suffered for fear of being disliked.
If my family knew about this, I would be unable to live my life as a human being.
Yu Jinshu understood these people's mentality. She put the matter aside for the moment and continued, "The weaving mill will be closed for a month for rectification. I will make Wang Sheng return all the wages that the weaving mill has swallowed up. Those who have been harmed will also receive corresponding compensation."
After hearing these words, the workers' eyes lit up.
Wang Zeqing watched his sister-in-law's every move and listened to every word she said, feeling extremely excited and thrilled.
With such a wife in the Wang family, are you still worried that their family will not prosper?
That day, Wang Zeqing was in a room specifically answering complaints from male workers.
Yu Jinshu gathered all the female workers together and sat in the side room. She invited them in one by one, asked about their situation, and promised to keep it secret if they told her of any infringement.
Since every female worker entered the wing room, only Yu Jinshu knew which female workers were violated.
Yu Jinshu was busy until the evening and his stomach was growling with hunger.
When she came out of the weaving factory, a boy about eight or nine years old handed her a string of candied haws and said, "Sister, this is the Chaoxi Restaurant."
