One Curtain Wind Moon Nine Heavens

Chapter 27
The next day, Yuan Zhao was a little surprised by the results of the interrogation. It was one of the two timid maidservants beside her who told outsiders where she lived.

Sitting high in the main hall, Yuan Zhao looked suspiciously at the maid who fell to the ground begging for mercy, and asked:

"My princess is not harsh on others, why did you betray me?"

In fact, she was not interested in this question.The servants in the mansion are basically bought temporarily, and they change a batch every time they go to a place.If they didn't grow up together, how could there be a master-servant relationship?Without friendship, how can we talk about loyalty?

Once one's life is in danger, it is the instinct of human nature to betray one's master in order to protect one's self.

She understands, and so does Guan Ji.

So, when encountering such a thing before, he dealt with it quietly.Why did you bring him up in front of her today and let her handle it personally?
Could it be for her to learn how to be a housekeeper?

Mr. Wu told her about the way of life of the nobles of various countries. Boys needless to say, but girls playing with words is secondary. The important thing is to learn to know how to use people.Otherwise, how can you be the mistress when you get married in the future?How to manage the backyard?

After thinking this through, Yuan Zhao looked at the maid patiently.

"Princess, please forgive me!" The servant girl was trembling with fright, crying in a trembling voice, "Even if the maidservant had the guts to betray the princess, it was the woman who flattered her, and the maidservant didn't notice the quilt for a while... ...The servant girl knew she was wrong, so she won't dare to do it next time..."

This maid almost died of fright last night, facing the stern and selfless Steward Ji, she thought her life was over.

She never expected that Steward Ji would let her confess her crimes in front of the young master.Outsiders don't know, but the servants in the mansion know in their hearts that the little princess is not friendly to others, but she is hard-spoken and soft-hearted, and she doesn't bother to talk about things.

If she falls into the hands of Ji Guanshi, she will definitely die, but in front of the little princess, she may still have a way to survive.

What's more, she really did it unintentionally.

I forgot the day, she accompanied a sick sister in the mansion to the hospital to see a doctor.While sitting idle, a sickly woman came to chat with her.Chatted with parents and family members, and finally inadvertently mentioned the situation of the general's mansion.

"She said that the General's Mansion used to be the mansion of her former master, and her beloved was once the steward of the mansion..."

The two chatted speculatively, and if they talked too much, they would lose it. It was an unintentional move, and it was not intentional to betray.

Yuan Zhao looked at He Chun after listening, "Uncle Ji sent someone to check it out?"

Some things must be sent out to investigate and verify. They are related to human life and cannot be decided hastily.

He Chun nodded, "There are records of the servants in the mansion going out to do errands. She went out once after she came to the general's mansion, and the description of the medical staff also confirmed her words..."

According to the staff of the medical center, the woman did not see a doctor before and after the event, and her sickly appearance was presumably changed.Her whereabouts were different, and the clerk couldn't help but take a second look, beware that she was sent by other medical centers to make trouble.

In this case, Yuan Zhao looked at the maid kneeling in the hall, and calmly said:

"Although you didn't mean it, it's a fact that I was assassinated. It's a big mistake. It's unreasonable not to punish you..."

But how to punish?

Do you directly reward Yizhanghong?No, if I let my father and mother know, I'm afraid it will come back to me again.Execution?This is the most common punishment, and there are countless examples of slaves being beaten to death for smashing the objects of the master's house.

To betray the master is even more heinous, Ling Chi is not an exaggeration, even if she is unintentional.In the past, it was a trivial matter for her to order a servant to be killed.

However, today is different.

Mr. Wu taught her, "Respect and reverence, Tianwei reveals his thoughts, life is not easy..."

Master also taught her the principles of "self-love, not self-esteem", "ruling the country with benevolence, and governing by doing nothing". Is there any difference between running a country and running a family?Also, it seems that someone told her, "There is no distinction between high and low, and all living beings are equal"?
She once had a question, if all living beings are equal, how can we talk about governing the country?Isn't it good to let nature take its course?Why are you embarrassing her now?Didn't Uncle Ji learn these principles?
Hey, my brain hurts.

Yuan Zhao leaned against the table, resting his chin with his left hand, frowned in annoyance, and tapped the armrest in front of him with his right hand.

"Princess," He Chun saw her troubled face and said puzzledly, "Why bother dealing with a servant girl? Just beat her to death."

Her words scared the maidservant who was kneeling on the ground and shrank into a ball, trembling all over.

"Oh," Yuan Zhao sighed upon seeing this, "You don't understand..."

In this house, her every move has attracted much attention.She didn't want to disappoint Mr. Wu, and she didn't want Master to think that she was stubborn...

"Princess, if you really can't bear it, then don't kill me," Jinniang, who was kneeling on the other side, saw her hesitating, and couldn't help but come up with an idea, "Pour the medicine to make you dumb, and sell it back to the market." .”

People's Market, a market where private traders buy and sell slaves, is adjacent to the Market of Cattle and Horses.

Her words frightened the maid so pale, she raised her eyes with tears streaming down her face, and shook her head violently at Yuan Zhao, too frightened to beg for mercy.

People's City, that's not a place where living people can stay.

She has been there once and doesn't want to go a second time...

The atmosphere was dignified and tense, and the maidservants who were sent by Ji Guanshi to observe were kneeling on both sides, breathless, their whole bodies were as stiff as stone statues.

Um, Yuan Zhao closed his eyes in confusion, at such a young age, the word Sichuan was wrinkled between his brows abruptly.He wanted to make an example to others, but also felt that it was in conflict with the concept of benevolence advocated by Master and Mr. Wu, so he was in a dilemma.

Seeing He Chun and Jin Niang, I was worried for her.

The princess is a child, and he still doesn't understand some things.The two of them were adults, and the battle between the nobles was cruel and bloody.The little princess is so kind-hearted and soft-hearted, I'm afraid it will disappoint Lord Hou.

Finally, Yuan Zhao sighed and said slowly:
"Whip ten times, when the injury is healed, send it to the village as a farm slave."

The maid suddenly raised her head, thinking she had heard wrong.When he saw the impatient glance of the little master, he wept with joy and kowtowed desperately:

"Thank you princess! Thank you princess..."

Although Tian slaves are suffering, for slaves who are not smart enough, in a sense, they are worse than being in front of their masters.It is easy to make mistakes when working in front of the master, and a little carelessness can cost your life, just like now.

There was no need for a servant to come and carry her away, the maid had already knelt down to thank her master, and happily ran out to receive the punishment.

Yuan Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.

He Chun and Jin Niang looked at each other again and sighed helplessly.

……

In the front yard, Ji Guanshi, who was informed of the results, looked as usual, and ordered the executioner to be more lenient and not to beat people to death.Since moving to Nanzhou, the mansion has never punished maidservants, and the domestic servants are all rough people, and they don't know the severity of what they do.

Afterwards, he sent someone to rush to deliver this very daily news to the barracks.

As for the assassin, he committed suicide during his escape last night.Look at that appearance, it is somewhat similar to the woman who knelt at the gate of the mansion to repay her kindness a while ago.

And the three rangers who rescued her were put together by the little princess and changed their minds and no longer joined the general's mansion.The three of them were assassinated on the way to Yansai, one was killed and two were injured, and they were rescued by the people sent by Steward Ji to spy on them secretly.

Currently, the two wounded are placed in a farm for treatment and recuperation.

Except for Ji Guanshi, even He Chun and Jin Niang didn't know about this matter.If Lord Hou is satisfied with the way the little princess handled it today, maybe he will let her know?

Well, who knows.
