Chapter 89 Beaten to death
"Of course, if you want to redeem yourself, I won't talk any more. Bring the silver to me and take back your ancestors' indentures, and leave Wanmiao Village."
After Xie Rongying said this, the noise became louder.
They have lived in Wanmiao Village for three or even almost four generations, and have long regarded this place as their homeland. They have made a living by growing medicinal herbs for generations.
Now the boss, no, the master, asked them to redeem themselves and leave. Where should they go after they redeem themselves?
If the three brothers of the Wu family had not caused a death, they would not have known about the indenture.
Some people rarely leave Wanmiao Village, and the reason they follow the three Wu brothers and betray their employer is just a little greed in their hearts.
Also because of the three brothers of the Wu family stepping forward, they also wanted to gain some benefits from Wu Dawei.
But if they really had to go against the Xie family, they would naturally be unwilling and afraid to do so.
Even their previous lives had nothing to do with being a "slave". What was the difference between them and ordinary people?
Now, because Wu Lao Er caused a death, the master family was alarmed and discovered that there was something strange about the death of Manager Chu last year. They then thought that they were all the same as the three brothers of the Wu family.
"Miss, our family has never had that intention. But if we had not listened to Wu Dawei before, we would have had a hard time surviving in Wanmiao Village." said a man standing in the front row.
Xie Rongying looked at the man: "Really? So, you are willing to be loyal to my Xie family, right?"
"Yes." The man said without hesitation.
Xie Rongying laughed: "What's your last name?"
"My surname is Ding," said the man.
Xie Rongying's smile widened as she said to Li Dongfu, "Find his ancestral indenture and have him sign it again."
"yes."
As soon as the words fell, some people began to speak along with what the man had just said.
Their words were similar. They all became disloyal to their master because they were coerced by the three Wu Dawei brothers.
Xie Rongying listened to those words, chuckled, and said, "Since you were all coerced, now is an opportunity to redeem yourself for your crimes."
As he spoke, Xie Rongying glanced at Xie Ting.
Xie Ting understood and ordered someone to release Wu Dawei.
The action was rough and Wu Dawei fell heavily to the ground.
Wu Dawei's family was completely shocked by this scene.
"Although my Xie family is kind and benevolent, it does not mean that servants can bully their masters and act arbitrarily. Since you are all threatened by this man, why don't you get rid of him for me, the master?" Xie Rongying said lightly.
When everyone heard the word "solve", their faces changed.
"No?" Xie Rongying asked coldly.
The man surnamed Ding asked tentatively, "How do you want to solve this problem, young lady?"
"Beat him to death with sticks." Xie Rongying said clearly.
Everyone gasped when they heard this.
Wanmiao Village is comfortable and peaceful. People here work from sunrise to sunset and return home at sunset. Most of the people there are simple and honest.
If the Wu family had not been unwilling to give up and told them that their years of hard work could only result in a mere few dozen taels of silver each year, they would not have felt that what they got was too little.
Now that Wu Dawei has angered the host family, the older girl sitting there obviously wants to use Wu Dawei to intimidate them.
But if they really wanted to take Wu Dawei's life, they really didn't dare to do it.
"Don't dare?" Xie Rongying's patience seemed to have run out. She sneered, "Since you don't dare, then I have your indentures in my hands. I have the right to sell you off or beat you to death."
What I mean is, you guys decide!
"Miss!" the restrained Wu cried out, "How can you be so cruel? Even if Dawei was wrong and our family was greedy, we never intended to harm your boss. You just sold us out, why treat us like this? We are human beings too!"
Xie Rongying looked at Wu and laughed, "A slave mentioning someone in front of me? When my Xie family treats you as human beings, are you really acting like human beings?"
"Do I need Kaifeng Prefecture to conduct a thorough investigation into Manager Chu's death?"
As expected, Wu Dawei's family members began to look unnatural after hearing what Xie Rongying said.
Mrs. Wu shrank her neck and didn't dare to speak again.
"Ting'er." Xie Rongying had clearly lost her patience. "Since these people won't take action, then those who deserve to be beaten to death will be beaten to death, and those who deserve to be sold will be sold. Tomorrow, we will go to the villages surrounding Wanmiao Village and hire people to grow Wanmiao Village's medicinal herbs."
As she spoke, she glanced at the group of people in front of her and continued in a cold voice: "These people, I feel dirty if I look at them for even one more moment now."
After saying this, Xie Rongying stood up and walked towards the carriage at the entrance of Wanmiao Village.
When everyone heard Xie Rongying's words, they all started kneeling.
"Big girl!"
"Big girl! We're willing to take action!"
"Let's get started now!"
Someone had already picked up a stick nearby and hit the fallen Wu Dawei.
Once one person takes action, there will be a second, a third...
Xie Rongying glanced at the group of people sideways. Human nature is indeed a complicated thing.
She averted her gaze and walked towards the carriage.
Shangguan Jing, who was hiding in the dark, looked at the scene in the center, raised his eyebrows, and his gaze fell on the figure heading towards the carriage.
"This Xie family really knows how to incite people." The woman next to her laughed.
Shangguan Jing's eyes fell on the scene that had already begun to become chaotic. He had heard a lot about the Xie family from Shangguan Yao in the past few days, until the incident of the Jiang family in Zi Lan Garden.
Shangguan Jing began to take the person Shangguan Yao mentioned, Xie Rongying, seriously.
The person who tracked down the Shangguan family in Longxi was Xie Lin. According to Shangguan Yao, it is certain that Xie Rongying knew that the Shangguan family was the Shangguan family that collaborated with the enemy and committed treason.
If this is the case, everyone in the Xie family should know the secret between the Shangguan family and the person in the palace.
So how did the Xie family find out?
"Master, what should we do next?" The woman stared at the chaotic scene on the other side. "This Wanmiao Village can't find any information about the whereabouts of the totem. Is it really the Xie family, or are they just involved?"
Shangguan Jing was silent for a moment, then said, "It seems I'll have to lurk in Bianjing for a while."
"The master asked you to return to Longxi as soon as possible and bring the girl back." The woman reminded.
Shangguan Jing stared at the woman and said, "I need to see the emperor."
