When a domestic slave changes his master, there is an old saying in Sijiu City: "It's a bad thing." If the master makes a bad thing, the servants will also suffer.
The family has no choice but to give birth to children. They are all slaves and masters. They are one and the same. When they are rich, they will be rich together. When they are in trouble, they will be in trouble together.
But can the hired servants escape? But it’s not that simple. You have to let the government interrogate to prove that you really have nothing to do with the case, and then you can escape!
Your master secretly communicated with the bandits, was it you who delivered the message? Did you kill the person who died mysteriously? Clear your name and then you can go home safely.
And it is not the money that has the final say as to whether they are guilty or not. Those who hire servants who do not have the money to manage the case will often get involved in the case and collect their heads as a number in the official's credit book.
Salonga's crime was really serious. From the time the house was raided, the entire Xiangbikeng old house was in a state of hell. The seventy family members all felt as if they were facing the end of the world.
Stealing Hong Xiuquan's gold seal is the crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the family. How much does the court hate growing hair? No one in Sijiu City knows this.
Everyone had thoughts of death, but they never expected that the thunder was so loud that there was not a single raindrop at the end!
These servants were directly sold to Li Tuo by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This morning, the chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to reprimand them and forced them to sign a new slave contract.
Who should I be a slave to? Salonga didn’t say how good he was to me. Except for those old slaves who had met Mu Zhanga and even the previous generation, and still had some affection for the family, who else cared about the master, the other young maids and servants? Who should I replace it with?
As soon as I heard that they had all been sold to Mr. Li Tuoli, the handsome Zhang Jing who ransacked his house last night, many of my anxious hearts dropped.
Being sold means that there is no need to die, and being sold to the popular Lord Li Tuo means that there is no need to send Ning Guta as a slave!
What a good thing, what a great thing, even some beautiful maids had thoughts that they shouldn't have, because when the wife brought the maids into the house in the afternoon, they all saw it. This Lord Li Tuo has a concubine. No!
The only maid is still an ordinary rough-and-tumble maid. She doesn’t look romantic at first glance. The master will never like such a yellow-haired girl!
Good guy, as soon as Li Tuo's wife entered the old house in Xiangbikeng, she was worshiped as an ancestor. More than seventy people lined up to salute her, and their mouths were as sweet as honey.
The bearers at the outer gate and the rough servants who kept watch at night were not qualified to flatter the lady, but fortunately there was a simple old butler who could keep his beard. When he heard that the butler was going to pick up the master, the bearers gave ten Erwanfen came out with great energy and was waiting on East Chang'an Street early.
As soon as they saw the new master coming out, the group of bearers and the servants who were waiting on him fell to their knees with shouts of greeting.
Li Tuo obviously still hadn't adapted to this kind of life. He was a little dizzy. He turned to Yi Siha and said, "Master Yi... what are you planning to do? Why don't you come to my house for a cup of tea?"
Li Tuo was just being polite, just like when colleagues in the company give way to each other after get off work, "I got off work early today... quite early... Let's go have a drink together tonight... No, no, I have fried noodles at home... that's okay I won't let you go, I'm going to your side..."
It was just such a kind word, but I didn’t expect that Isiha would not follow the routine. “Ouch… I’m so sorry, okay, I’ll just follow on horseback…”
Li Tuo was stunned and said to himself, isn't this too rude? But you can't attack him even if you say it, you can only get on the sedan and let Isiha follow.
Looking at Isiha who was riding a tall horse with a proud expression through the window curtains, Li Tuo smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Isn't that stupid? I know my backer will follow closely..."
The four bearers are going to show off their skills. They all move in unison, at the same speed, with coordinated steps and a tacit understanding. Even if they are moving fast, they can still stay steady without shaking.
Moreover, the spine should be straight, which is called a stick of incense facing the sky. In the past, cart drivers and bearers all had this particularity, and walking on the street was called a spirit of vitality.
Only by working hard like this can you win the respect of the master and have a stable life in the future. The difference in treatment between the bearers with good skills and those with poor skills is huge.
One can eat beef rolled in white flour bread every now and then, while the other can only eat steamed buns and cook vegetables. The difference in wages is also huge!
Today is your first day on duty, why don't you show off all your skills?
The sedan was carried so smoothly that Li Tuo lost track of time while thinking about things inside. As soon as he lowered his head and raised his head again, he saw the towering Dongdan Archway. Just a slight turn away from here is the Xiguanyin Temple Alley.
As soon as the sedan entered the alley, the neighbors on both sides of the road started to look around. There was no secret in the capital. Everyone knew that the Salon family had changed its owner, and it must be Li Tuo who was inside this sedan.
"That's right, it's Li Tuo... Didn't you see that Isiha looks like Ma Bian on the other side? It was the house they ransacked last night!"
"Okay, good job... the traitor's house should have been raided long ago!"
Among all the chatters, one of the idle men started to shout, "Kill the traitors of the country... What an official! What an official!"
The crowd suddenly cheered, "Good official... Good official!"
Even though Li Tuo had seen the wind and waves, his face was flushed with excitement. When he stood at the door of the mansion and got off the sedan, looking at the neighbors gathered in the distance, he actually clasped his hands and bowed deeply.
"Neighbors and fellow villagers...we will be neighbors in the future. If you cause any trouble, please report it first..." After saying this, he bowed in a bow.
"You're welcome... Your Majesty, you're welcome..." Only the common people like officials who have no official power. Li Tuo's behavior immediately brought a lot of praise.
Entering the mansion, there were servants kneeling at each door, and maids kneeling in salutes in every room. There were more than seventy people, and Li Tuo felt that one door after another was full of human heads.
He didn't have the patience to remember the names one by one, so he just said to the housekeeper, "I'm tired... have you boiled the hot water? Isiha and I want to take a nice hot bath..."
"Prepare some food by the way, not too much... I have to attend a banquet tonight... and prepare a gift list worth ten thousand silver. I still have to give gifts tonight!"
"Okay, sir, don't worry, everything will be done well... Although the servants of the Saronga family are all like monkey cubs with sly eyebrows, they still have their own tricks to serve others. The bath water has been prepared in advance..."
Li Tuo stretched out his hand and asked Yisiha to come into the side room, "I haven't slept for two days and I haven't washed myself. My body is covered in dust and smells... If I don't wash it off, I won't be able to go out tonight..."
Isiha didn’t expect that Li Tuo would ask him to take a bath! The elders would not refuse, so the two entered the side room. A little girl had already prepared two huge pine buckets, filled with steaming bath water, and even sprinkled with some dried flower petals.
After being stripped naked, the two of them got into their own wooden barrels. When the hot water reached their necks, they both made comfortable sounds at the same time.
"Bring over two pots of Fuso sake...it's not strong enough and won't affect the banquet tonight..."
