Red makeup against the world

Chapter 136 Arrest
Xu Wanzhen frowned slightly, and when Mrs. Wang saw this, she clapped her hands "papa", and then she calmed down.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "Miss Xu is laughing, they have never been maidservants, it is the old slave who mistrained her and quarreled with her."

Xu Wanzhen waved her hand to show that she didn't care. There was a quarrel just now, but two of them hadn't spoken a word and just stood peacefully.She motioned for Sangzi to take the girl who spoke first and the two who hadn't spoken to one side.

The first one to speak means that she has her own mind and can seize the opportunity.Those who have been silent all the time show that they are timid, and such people can be used with confidence.In fact, maids don't need any special skills, loyalty is the most important thing.Those who don't speak by themselves, and only talk about it when someone else speaks first, are the worst.Ability and courage are not enough, but they are sloppy, and most of the rumors and gossips in the world are spread by such people.Xu Wanzhen led them to speak, precisely to test their dispositions.

"I will pick these eight people first, and if there are any bad ones, I will refund them to you within a month." Xu Wanzhen said.

Mrs. Wang responded with a smile on her face, and she could sell eight people at once, which was also a big deal for her.Even for those mansions that have been bought all year round, they only buy two or three at a time, so quickly count the value and report it.

Xu Wanzhen took a look and saw that the price was fair, similar to what she had known before.The most expensive ones are those maids who have been maidservants. They are worth ten taels of silver, and one of them needs as much as fifteen taels.The cheapest one is the strong one, only worth one tael of silver.The remaining three are five liang.

Xu Wanzhen pointed to the "15 taels" on the list and asked, "Is there anything special about her?"

Mrs. Wang smiled all over her face, and said: "She used to serve the lady of the official family, and she cooks good dim sum. Miss Xu can try it. If the old lady is bragging, you can just come back, and you will have no problem."

Seeing how confident she was, Xu Wanzhen nodded lightly, and ordered Sangzi to take the pair of cards and go to Biluo to withdraw the silver taels.

Mrs. Wang took the silver and left happily.Today, not only did she sell eight people in one go, she also finally sold out the girl she had smashed in her hand, hoping that she would not be returned again.

Xu Wanzhen looked at the eight girls in front of her. Although all of them were malnourished, they all looked good from the outline. If they were raised well for a few days, they must be juicy flowers.However, the disposition of several people remains to be verified.

Asking Qingluo to invite Mother Zheng out, Xu Wanzhen looked at them, and said slowly: "Before you came, Mrs. Wang must have told you roughly what kind of family this place is, so I won't say more, and you all gradually understand."

Seeing that everyone nodded, he said solemnly: "Ten days, you will learn the rules under Madam Zheng first, and no other work will be arranged for you. After ten days, Madam Zheng has the final say on whether to leave or stay."

Madam Zheng took a step forward and said with a serious expression: "No matter what your background is or what you are capable of, you will all be put away by me right now! If you don't want to leave, you can learn the rules for me at ease."

Several people were stunned, "Yes", "Understood", "Slave understands" and other responses were disorganized.

Madam Zheng frowned, and said, "Today, let's learn the rules of this conversation first."

Seeing that Madam Zheng began to train these maids, Xu Wanzhen took Qingluo away, there are still many things waiting for her to arrange.

The drizzle shrouded the sky of Gangnam Road.

This spring in Jiangnan Road seems to be going very late. The rain has passed, but there is still a deserted chill in the air that lingers.In a deep alley in Changzhou City, a woman was wearing a rain hat, covered her face with only her eyes exposed, covered the wound on her left waist with her right hand, and fled out in a hurry.

Behind her, a few sharp arrows "swish" and "swish", which added a bit of chill to the drizzle.

Enduring the pain, the woman dodged a few times to avoid the sharp arrow.But the movement was too big, the wound burst open again, and blood flowed down the waist.Seeing that the entrance to the alley was just ahead, there was light in her eyes, and she was about to escape!Quicken your pace.

The footsteps of the pursuers behind him became tighter and tighter, and the light at the entrance of the alley was within reach, and the woman was overjoyed.

But it was dark before his eyes, a tall figure was blocking the entrance of the alley, because of the backlight, he couldn't see his face clearly.He saw his left hand move slightly, and several plum blossom darts shot out, heading straight for the woman's legs.

The woman was startled, and raised her breath, but she had an injury on her waist, which affected her movement.The distance is too close, how can I avoid it completely?Two darts pierced deeply into her right leg, and the pain made her stagnate.Before she could react, a rope net fell from the sky, but the pursuers behind caught up.

She was tied up in a rope net and was still struggling. The man chasing her stepped forward and wrapped her hands behind her back, and tore off her face towel.He cupped his hands and saluted, "I've seen you, my lord."

Yingfeng nodded slightly, walked up to the arrested woman with his hands behind his back, stared at her like an eagle, and asked, "Dongniang? Hosokawa Toko?" Although it was a question, the tone was Very sure.

Dongniang was struggling constantly, but the expression on her delicate face did not give in.At this moment when he heard the words, his body trembled, his face paled in shock, his eyes hesitated for a moment, then a fierce look appeared, and he opened his mouth to bite the poison hidden in his teeth.Yingfeng quickly stretched out his right hand, removed her chin, and said with a light smile, "How many brothers have we lost in order to catch you? How can we let you die properly?"

Although he was smiling, the harshness in his words made Dongniang feel like she was in the cold winter.

The Feng group's subordinates pushed over a wooden cart, bound Dong Niang's hands and feet and put Dongniang on it, and Yingfeng led everyone back to the Feng group's stronghold in Changzhou City.

This fight took place in a deep alley, and the people living on both sides were silent, for fear that one bad person would be implicated.During these days, Jiangnan Road is not peaceful, and such arrests are often seen.

The government also issued a document saying that if Jiangyang bandits sneaked in, the officers and soldiers would arrest them, and the central government also sent soldiers to support them.Let the people close their doors, don't panic, and don't hide thieves.If it is found that the thief is hiding or has provided accommodation, food and clothing, he will be punished with death.

Although these orders could not capture the Japanese assassins, they made it difficult for them to move forward and have nowhere to hide.They had to be resettled in ruined temples in the outskirts, and food and clothing were stolen by sneaking in secretly, which narrowed the scope a lot.

After half a month of careful arrangements, Yingfeng finally tracked down the whereabouts of an assassin, and followed the clues to arrest Dongniang.

The night passed.

Under the punishment of the shadow guards, even a tough man only wants to die quickly, let alone Dong Niang?She was quite tough, she survived earth torture, stoning, and branding, and when she was about to be water tortured, she finally couldn't bear to confess.

Taking Dongniang's confession of guilt, Yingfeng frowned tightly. It seemed that the emperor's expectations had failed again.

Emperor Qinglong did not issue an imperial decree for a long time, and made public the treasonous behavior of King Qianyang, just waiting for the investigation results of the mastermind behind the Dongying assassins.
