This Gou Bri was very clever. Instead, he hit the snake with a stick and said with a look of sadness on his face: "I was steaming buns for Mr. Gou at that time. Seeing him like this, I begged the master in charge to say: The young master won’t eat it, and the leftovers can be given to the bankers outside, so that everyone can get some of the Gou family’s rain and dew. [Read the latest chapter] Who knows, who knows—" He made a face that looked like he was about to cry without tears. Sad and angry look:
"This person actually said that their family name is 'Gou', so even dogs are more noble than the dealers outside!"
These words caused a commotion below, and the anger of the people was indeed aroused. In an age of scarcity, deliberately wasting food was a terrible crime. Someone shouted: "Kill this bad guy!" "Hang him and the dog together, let's share the blessings and misfortune!"
The master of the house was so anxious that he was panting, but he didn't make any sound, and his face turned red from holding back.
Goubli was very proud when he saw this scene. He struck while the iron was hot and shouted at the old man: "Why are you staring at me! With a man like Mr. Shorthair making decisions for us little people, I am not afraid of you, a scoundrel! Never again!" You Gou family have been shitting and peeing on our little people’s heads for a long time,”
As he spoke, he pulled up his sleeves and took off his shirt, revealing many torture scars on his body that were old and new: "Dear fellow villagers, this year I was baking sweet potatoes under the kitchen to eat. This old guy saw me and said I stole their food. Horse food. I said, your horse food is all golden millet and beans. If there is such coarse food, I will steal it. Just for this sentence, he went to report to Gou Xunyi and imprisoned me and tortured me to death. , I was locked up in a dungeon. If the short-haired men hadn't opened the door, I would have died in vain because of these words -" As he said this, he probably thought of all the sufferings of being locked up in a dungeon. Just the right amount of tears.
At this time, the audience was already crying. Although Wu De was happy with the effect, he knew that what Goubli said was true and false, so he whispered to Xi Yazhou: "Isn't this too hypocritical?"
Xi Yazhou shook his head: "Actually, there are many things that are much worse than this. Look at the people crying. This is resonance. If the Gou family hadn't done all the bad things and harmed the people, would they cry? People still don't dare to do it now. Talk about this. People who dare to talk can't explain clearly. Although Goubli is talking nonsense, but he dares to speak and can speak, and arousing emotions will help them break through that layer of shackles."
Wu De was muttering in his heart. He is much older than people like Xi Yazhou. He has witnessed many of the political upheavals that began through mass movements. He is really not sure what the consequences of mass movements will be. Xi Yazhou saw a look of disapproval on Wu De's face and said, "We don't care about trivial matters when it comes to big things. Mobilizing the masses is the most important thing right now. Let's continue to listen."
While they were talking, someone suddenly came over and whispered softly: "There is a maid who wants to see the boss."
Wu De was stunned, wondering why a maid wanted to see him get up for no reason. He quickly said a few words to Xi Yazhou and brought a few people over.
In addition to the servants, there are one to two hundred male and female servants in the Gou family. Their composition is relatively complex, and it is difficult to identify them at the moment. For the time being, they are divided into men and women and are detained in two courtyards. A struggle meeting was held just now and a group of usually powerful and evil servants were detained according to Zhang Xingjiao's list.
The name of the maid who wanted to see him was Chu Yu. Gou Xunyi's favorite seventh aunt was originally given the job of personal maid. When the stronghold was destroyed, Gou Xunyi's wives and concubines were either forced or voluntarily hanged themselves. Some of the maids also committed suicide in panic. This girl didn't want to. He was buried by his usually mean master, and after seeing the short-haired men coming in, they did not do any harm to the girl Qiu, and they had no desire to die. She has always been flexible and agile, and can speak a few Mandarin. She is more or less aware of the rumors about short-haired people outside. Now I see these young "thieves", all of them are tall and strong, light on their feet, moving and talking. They were full of confidence in their demeanor and neither humble nor silent. They were completely different from the arrogant arrogance of masters and young masters, and the cautious and humble humility of ordinary servants. I couldn't help but feel a little more admiration in my heart.
After thinking about it for a while, she was sold in this county by a family fleeing famine. After being resold several times, she ended up in the Gou family as a maid. Although she was the personal maid of the Seventh Concubine, the Seventh Concubine was usually pampered and treated her servants very well. Extremely mean, and will beat and scold him if he doesn't get what he wants. Chu Yu's days were like years by her side. She was alone in this world and had no worries. She originally wanted to be able to live a safe life as a servant in the future. Unexpectedly, the maids of the Gou family never married. Some of the maids were forty or fifty years old. She has not yet been married, so her last desire has been dashed (note: this is the so-called "guarding a maidservant". A maidservant does not marry when she grows up and serves until she dies of old age. This custom has been observed in many places since the Ming Dynasty. The reason seems to be It was motivated by economic interests. It was considered inhumane even at the time.
The Gou family has been destroyed, and his future has to be decided. She thought that these short-haired men had always prided themselves on benevolence and righteousness. After breaking Zhuangzi, they did not rob or kill indiscriminately. They were also very polite to women. They even specially sent a short-haired female steward to guard them. She was not only kind-hearted but also attentive. The servants and maids like myself are not important people. In a few days, they will most likely be asked to go home. Since I have no home to go back to, I have to find a way out for myself. After much deliberation, I decided to make a gift of a secret I knew. The plan was decided, so when I was about to go to the small cell, I quietly reported it to Du Wen in the corner of the yard who was in charge of collecting it.
Du Wen had been making plans for the mass meeting for a long time, but she couldn't go to see it. She was feeling depressed. Suddenly, a "sister from the oppressed class" was willing to come and expose it. She really didn't have the appetite for it. She was originally going to ask her to speak out, but this Chu Yu, on the other hand, had a dull temper and only wanted to see the "person in charge".
"I'm in charge." Du Wen didn't give up.
"There are big and small people in charge. You are definitely not the big one!" This girl is not afraid at all and has a rather aggressive style.
"Why?!"
"Because you are a woman! How can a woman be in charge?"
Du Wen was so angry at these words that he cursed in his heart that he was "unaware and has a feudal idea of male superiority and female inferiority." But he had no choice but to call for Wu De.
Chu Yu was led into the small conversation hall by Du Wen, knelt down on her knees, kowtowed, and said, "My slave, Chu Yu, kowtow to the master."
Because he lowered his head, Wu De couldn't see her face clearly, but her tall figure and generous demeanor made him secretly satisfied. Having been in this time and space for so long, this is a rare woman who is more in line with modern people's aesthetic views.
He asked with a smile: "Are you the woman who wants to see me?"
"Yes. It's my slave."
"What do you want from me?" Wu De said, picking up the preliminary interrogation record and knowing that this woman was the personal maid of the seventh concubine, "You were the personal maid of the seventh concubine. Now that she is dead, can you grieve? "
These words sounded dangerous to Chu Yu, so he said with a little reserve:
"Our master has been a servant for many years, and slaves are not grass and trees. How can we not be compassionate?" She did not say grief, but compassion, to show the difference between the times.
"Don't you look so sad?"
Chu Yu kowtowed and said generously: "This slave serves the Seventh Concubine. Every day, I don't run around and sweep as much as possible to repay her kindness for food, clothing and shelter. The relationship between master and servant ends here."
The implication is that the work I did was worthy of the salary I received. Now that the company is bankrupt, it is inevitable that I will be a little sad, but I cannot talk about regret.
Wu De nodded in his heart, praised secretly, and then said: "Chu Yu, please raise your head."
Chu Yu boldly raised her head to let Wu De see her face clearly, and she also took the opportunity to take a look at him. She saw this short-haired man who had ruined Zhuangzi. He was middle-aged, with good features, thick eyebrows, bright eyes, dark skin, and a strong body. She couldn't help but move in her heart, fearing that he would look directly at her, so she lowered her head again.
At first glance, Wu De looked like Chu Yu, who looked like a girl in her early teens. In modern time and space, she should still be a middle school student. There was a calm look between his brows. he asked:
"What do you have to tell us?"
"There is a secret pavilion in Gou Xunyi's study. Have you ever noticed it?"
"Secret Pavilion?" Wu De and Du Wen shouted in unison. They had searched everywhere in the Gou family's residence, but they had not discovered that there was a secret pavilion in the study.
"Yes, it's in the inner study. There is a secret cabinet behind the panel. All important correspondence and valuable items are stored in it."
This is a big discovery! Wu De knew very well that the gold and silver treasures were secondary. The secret letter book of the Dawo family, which had colluded with various pirates on the ground in Guangdong, obviously allowed them to know many details. The information transmission in this time and space was very blocked. Guangdong It often takes several months for the news to reach the county, and they can only check various local conditions from history books.
He nodded: "How do you know?"
"This slave is the personal maid of the Seventh Concubine. Master Gou often calls the Seventh Concubine to sleep with her in the inner study. As usual, this slave serves her outside. Occasionally - by chance -" Chu Yu said, her face slightly reddening, quite like someone who had just begun to love her. The girl's charming look made Wu De, a middle-aged man, a little helpless. Then I thought about it, this child is worthy of being my daughter, so I don't want to be treated like a beast. He nodded:
"Since you are willing to tell us such a secret, what can you ask for? We will reward you generously with the property and send someone to escort you home."
"My only request is that the master can keep me by my side to serve you. I have no relatives or family for a long time. Where can I go even if I have gold and silver? Please take me in!" Chu Yuluo kowtowed again generously.
This made Wu De blush. It was the first time in her life that the little girl recommended herself to him as a maid. Of course I can't agree to this. Not to mention that a group of otakus who are already a little sexually hungry can't tolerate him. Even Du Wen next to him will most likely give him a kick. Fortunately, they had already made arrangements for this problem: all homeless maids and servants would be taken in.
"It's easy to say. We will take care of you sisters who have nowhere to go. You can rest assured! Take us to open a pavilion."
