"Save me?" Hu Mancang raised his head and looked at Li Qian, "Won't you hand me over to the dealer?"
"Then it depends on your performance." Li Qian smiled slightly.
"As long as you can save my life, I can do anything you ask me to do!" Hu Mancang said with almost no hesitation, as if he was grasping a life-saving straw.
He really didn't want to die. Even if he couldn't enjoy the glory and wealth, living would be better than being beaten to death.
If you hand him over to the dealer, he will really be beaten to death.
Li Qi'an patted Hu Mancang's shoulder with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Yes, I just appreciate your strong desire to survive!"
The banker's ancestor worship ceremony has been held.
The carriages also returned to Zhuang Mansion one after another.
The first thing he did when he returned to the Zhuang Mansion, Qin Wenzhao hurried back to the room. When he saw that the dictionary was still there on the table, he breathed a sigh of relief, then grabbed it and tore it into pieces.
The more this happens now, the more he can't leave Zhuang Mansion, not even an inch.
He still had no way of knowing how Zhuang Xiaodie was rescued, or whether the bandits and Hu Mancang from Black Wolf Village were caught, escaped, or were all killed.
But one thing he was sure of was that he couldn't mess up the situation on his own.
He must be calm. Even if Hu Mancang is caught and comes to identify him without actual evidence, as long as he refuses to admit it, or bites him back, I believe this difficulty will not be difficult to overcome.
"Have you heard that it was Jiang Muba who rescued the second young lady? It is said that the kidnapper of the second young lady was Hu Mancang, and he even escaped."
The whispers of several servants could be heard outside.
Qin Wenzhao also pricked up his ears for a moment and listened carefully.
"I heard that Hu Mancang colluded with bandits and wanted to make a fortune, so he did this kind of thing. I never really saw that he would be such a person."
"That's right, the Zhuang Mansion treats us servants so well. We are well fed, clothed and warm. We also give rewards during holidays. Where can you find a boss like this? He is really worse than a dog or a pig for doing this kind of thing!"
Several servants were talking and cursing.
The sound gradually faded away.
A smile appeared on the corner of Qin Wenzhao's mouth, Hu Mancang escaped.
It can save yourself a lot of trouble.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Steward Qin, are you there? Master, please go to the hall." came the voice of the old servant beside Zhuang Shaoyuan.
"Okay, I'll be here right away!" Qin Wenzhao responded.
Although there is a high possibility of a cross-examination, Qin Wenzhao is already confident.
When they came to the hall, there was only Zhuang Shaoyuan.
He stood in the hall with his hands behind his back.
After Qin Wenzhao arrived, he slowly turned around and sat on the chair.
"Manager Qin, thank you for your hard work today. Please take a seat." Then he pointed to the seat.
Qin Wenzhao quickly raised his hands and said, "I'm sorry, sir, it's all Wen Zhao's responsibility, not to mention hard work."
"The Zhuang Mansion has always made clear rewards and punishments. Manager Qin tried his best to save the mansion from a fire last night, and today he worked tirelessly to carry out the ancestor worship ceremony. Our Zhuang Mansion is truly lucky to have a manager like you!" said Zhuang Shaoyuan! .
Then the old servant came out with a row of silver on a tray and walked to Qin Wenzhao.
Qin Wenzhao was stunned, "Master, what do you mean?"
"Didn't I say it before? The Zhuang Mansion has always made clear rewards and punishments. Manager Qin will be rewarded for his meritorious service. Please accept these coins from Manager Qin!" Zhuang Shaoyuan picked up the tea cup on the case and blew tea foam.
Qin Wenzhao's eyes flickered secretly. He really couldn't figure out why he was rewarded without questioning.
"What? Does Manager Qin think the money is too small?" Zhuang Shaoyuan put down the tea cup and said.
"No, no, no, it's just that Wen Zhao feels that he deserves it. It's all his own fault. This reward is a bit embarrassing to Wen Zhao." Qin Wenzhao said quickly, hanging his head.
His eyes were secretly suspicious as he lowered his head.
If he was questioned directly, he would think twice about it, but he praised him and rewarded him with money. He really didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd, so he would never dare to accept the money.
"No, you can afford it, Manager Qin. You deserve these silver coins. You have worked hard in our Zhuang Mansion for so many years. Everyone knows that you are dedicated and diligent. Unless you have other plans and feel that the Zhuang Mansion has condescended to you, You don't want to accept this money." Zhuang Shaoyuan said slowly.
Qin Wenzhao's heart skipped a beat, and then he suddenly raised his head.
"The master's words are even more embarrassing to Wen Zhao. Wen Zhao will just accept the money."
After saying that, he immediately took the tray from the old servant.
He finally figured it out. This was Zhuang Shaoyuan's test of him.
This money must be collected, otherwise the label of wanting to find another job will be deducted.
Although he did want to find another job, he still had to get through this.
Zhuang Shaoyuan nodded, "Steward Qin is still injured, so let's go down and take good care of him first. The entire Zhuang Mansion still has to rely on Steward Qin."
Qin Wenzhao didn't say anything. He immediately bowed to Zhuang Shaoyuan and went down.
After he left, Zhuang Shaoyuan's face turned completely cold.
"What an old fox!"
