The upgrade of Concubine Xian in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 185 Punishment of Slaves
In the golden autumn of October, Zarafin changed into autumn clothes, wore a flowerpot bottom, stepped on the golden ginkgo leaves, and walked in the courtyard step by step.

She looked at the courtyard as if a golden carpet had been laid, which made her feel like she didn't know what eve it was.

"Gao Wuyong, ask someone to find the servant who is on duty today." Hongli stepped into the Xinghuachun Pavilion, looking at the fallen leaves all over the ground, Zarafin's small figure stood in it, a little lonely and desolate . "Jiaojiao, don't be bullied by this slave, why didn't you tell me?"

"Ah, it's not the slaves' business, I made people do this on purpose." Zarafin quickly stopped Gao Wuyong, then turned to Hongli and said.

"Why?" Hongli looked at Zarafin in confusion.

"Don't you think it's very beautiful? It would be great if I could go back to Prince Yong's Mansion to have a look. On the road from the gate to the second gate, there are ginkgo trees on both sides, scattered on the ground, it is absolutely wonderful." Zara Fern's eyes were shining.

Hongli was relieved, the moment he came in, he was so angry that he left the Xinghuachun Pavilion for a few months, and Zarafin was squeezed out.

Although the servants listened to Zarafin's words this time, they didn't clean up the fallen leaves. He glanced at Gao Wuyong and asked him to beat the servants first, and he definitely couldn't let them bully Zarafin.

The news of the falling leaves in the Xinghuachun Pavilion spread throughout the garden in less than an hour. When Hongli heard Gao Wuyong mentioned this matter, he frowned slightly. There should be eyeliners around the Xinghuachun Pavilion.

"Jiaojiao, is there still a list of Xiaoxuan's people?" Hongli looked at Zarafin and asked.

"Yes!" Zarafin nodded, "How many of these people have their own masters? Fuchani Chuhe sent four of them, and a total of 13 were sent here."

Hearing her grinning complaint, Hongli raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and it was obvious that Zarafin was going to sue.

The concubines rarely spoke as bluntly as Zarafin, and they basically turned around to complain. Some concubines even hinted at the cooperation of the servants. He felt uncomfortable when he saw the actions of those people.

The two walked into the study one after the other, and Zarafin took down a red book from the bookshelf beside it, with a piece of paper full of names mixed in it.

Hongli looked at the list on the paper, took out the survey just sent from the sticky stick out of his sleeve, and began to look at the overlapping families on it.

"Not thirteen eyeliners, but fifteen, and two are second-class court ladies." Hongli said directly.

Zarafen opened his mouth slightly, and Madam Liu and Madam Su have already helped Zarafin deal with a lot of court ladies, some of them were bribed, and most of them were sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Ah, is what you said true?" Zarafin tugged on Hongli's sleeves and muttered in a low voice.

Hongli nodded: "The people at the sticky pole won't investigate and find mistakes."

Zarafin lowered his head: "Ah Hun, I'd better leave this matter to you."

"Come with me, you have to learn how to deal with rebel slaves." Hongli took Zarafin's little hand, and was about to walk outside the study. When he was approaching the door, Hongli looked at the tortoise standing in the door, "Hortoise, go Tell Erniang, today, I will rest in Xinghuachun Pavilion, some rebel slaves need to help Jiaojiao deal with them."

In just a few words, the servants on duty nearby became nervous. It was very difficult for Hongli to show anger on his face. Today, he exuded anger all over his body. Apart from smiling at Zarafin, the rest of the people Basically, they have cold faces.

Gao Wuyong stood behind Hongli, heard his order, and hurried to speak.

The guards stood on both sides of the courtyard. On the stone steps, two chairs were arranged side by side. Hongli and Zarafin sat on them. Between the two chairs was a high table with Put a lot of snacks that Zarafin likes to eat.

"Ah, I really think this tea tastes good." Zarafin didn't look at the kneeling people in the courtyard, these people had appeared beside her.

"Of course, it was bought by Daoxiang Village. Although it is an outside cake, I use some occasionally, and it is interesting. I bought an extra copy of the mung bean cake you like." Hongli asked someone to buy mung bean cake specially. It is a must-buy in Daoxiang Village.

Zarafin pursed his lips and smiled: "Ah, I heard that there will be a queue for such pastries in the morning."

"Let the servants below buy them. If you like, I can buy some for you occasionally." Hongli looked at Zarafin and said.

"Okay!" Zarafin took a piece of mung bean cake and stuffed it in his mouth.

The servants kneeling in the courtyard were very worried, Hongli only had a good face towards Zarafin, and he was harsh to the servants.

"Gao Wuyong, go to the interrogation and ask about what these people have done. If you don't want to suffer, just admit it to me." Hongli sneered.

After hearing this, Zarafin put down the cake in his hand and looked up at the servants in the courtyard.

It turned out that the slaves were all arranged by their family members during the small election, and some of them recognized their masters. Some of them were cultivated by families with big surnames. After they were 10 years old, they were adopted by other people's families.

Gao Wuyong told everyone's identities one by one, and some of them told which concubine how much money he had received.

When the servants heard what Gao Wuyong said, their hearts turned cold for an instant, worrying that this hurdle would be hard to pass, and if the master behind it could help, they should not be found out by Brother Hongli.

"Don't worry, your master didn't come to intercede." Hongli said coldly, "Since I've been assigned to the Xinghuachun Hall, I have to stick to it. I rarely see the master's slaves."

Zarafin sat upright on the chair, and Hongli hinted that she should not open her mouth: "Jiaojiao really gave you a lot of rewards. In the garden, whose master can be so generous?"

The servants lowered their heads without saying a word, and Zarafin looked at them playfully.

"The servant is for the safety of the family. Although the servant is working in the garden, the family members are still outside the garden. The Fucha family has controlled the servant's family. They have to make such a choice." The second-class maid burst into tears.

"Li Xiang, you actually betrayed the master. Didn't we agree to serve the master together?" Mo Xiang looked at Li Xiang in the middle of the courtyard and called out from among the servants watching the punishment.

"Quiet." Gao Wuyong said sharply.

Zarafin tilted his head and looked at Hongli: "Ah Hun, are these people slaves of a family with a big surname?"

"Most of them are, but they were sent to the Baoyi family to be educated since they were young. Therefore, many people's surnames have changed." Hongli looked at the detailed records in his hand, and had to say, these people arranged Very appropriate.
