"What are you going to do, Master!"
When Jiang Li dragged his chair out of the hut, Chuchu was still holding the noodle bowl and eating deliciously. It was not until he heard Jiang Li's deep drink that the little girl was startled. She quickly stood up and ran out with the noodle bowl in her arms without even having time to wipe her mouth. outside the house.
"Jiang Li, are you looking for us?"
The door of the courtyard was pushed open violently, and two muscular servants of the Hou Mansion, dressed in short-sleeved commoners, stepped in with unkind expressions.
Although Tieba and Tiejiu were nominally the slaves assigned to Jiang Li by the eldest lady, they were actually the spies responsible for monitoring Jiang Li.
Jiang Li's status in the Hou Mansion was very low, and the servants looked down on him secretly.
The servants like Tieba and Tiejiu who relied on the eldest lady were even more bossy and never treated Jiang Li as their master.
At this moment, hearing Jiang Li's condescending scolding just now, Tieba and Tiejiu also accumulated some anger in their hearts.
"The government account book allocates 150 kilograms of fine charcoal and 20 bundles of dry firewood to me every month, but since the beginning of winter this year, all you have sent to my courtyard is only 100 kilograms of coarse charcoal residue.
"In the past few years, I know that you secretly deducted the monthly salary, but fortunately it was not excessive, and I don't want to argue with you, but in recent days, you have been getting more and more aggressive!"
Jiang Li glanced at Tieba and Tiejiu and said calmly: "I will give you three days to make up for all the monthly deductions that were deducted before, and I can forget about it!"
"Jiang Li, you don't want to be slanderous. We brothers are all honest people who have done our duty. You said that we deducted your monthly salary, can you provide evidence?"
"The Marquis Mansion is very strict about rules. You are slandering us. Aren't you afraid that we will complain to the First Lady?"
Tie Ba and Tie Jiu were a little surprised. They never expected that Jiang Li, who had always been submissive, would directly point out their deductions from the monthly salary, as if they were a different person.
But they were shocked, how could they recognize such a thing!
"I know you are unwilling to admit it, but if I didn't have evidence, how could I come to confront you in the courtyard?"
Jiang Li put his hand into his sleeves and sneered: "The evidence is here. Come here and I will show it to see what else you have to say!"
"Do you have evidence?"
"show me!"
Tie Ba and Tie Jiu were stunned. The money and materials they had withheld from Jiang Li were secretly asked by the guards in the mansion to sell them off at low prices and share the spoils together.
Jiang Li didn't leave home, so where could he get the evidence?
The two of them didn't believe it, but they couldn't help but take a few steps forward.
The eldest lady tacitly agreed that the servants in the palace could bully Jiang Li, but many things could not be said openly. After all, the Hou Mansion and the eldest lady also wanted to save face.
Mrs. Zhenwu Marquis allowed her slaves to bully a dead mother and son. If this spread, her reputation in Shengjing City would be really bad, and she would become the laughing stock of the dignitaries.
When the news reached the ears of the emperor, he would also blame Jiang Shirong for not managing the family well and for indulging his jealous wife.
No matter what evidence Jiang Lizhen presented, the eldest lady would definitely accuse them immediately, and losing their heads would be an act of mercy outside the law.
"The evidence is right here!"
Jiang Li saw the two approaching and raised his sleeves without changing his expression. With a flash of cold light, a cold-light kitchen knife flew out and struck at the iron eight-sided door.
"Oh!"
How could Tieba have imagined that the always cowardly concubine Jiang Li would be so sinister and vicious, his hair stood on end, and he was so scared that his soul would jump out of his head.
Fortunately, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child and is a martial arts disciple in the second level of martial arts, so his reaction is quite quick.
Tie Batou tilted violently and rolled to the side. The kitchen knife flew past his scalp. He felt a cool feeling in his ears, as if something had also flown out.
"ear!"
Tie Jiu stayed far away and saw with his own eyes that Jiang Li slashed out with a kitchen knife and cut off half of Tie Ba's ear. He was stunned on the spot.
Although they are martial arts slaves, they usually practice routines. I have never seen such a scene.
Before he could react, Jiang Li raised his right hand, and a puff of flour directly blinded Tie Jiu's eyes.
Using his breath to move his legs, Jiang Li jumped up suddenly, crossing several meters in one step. His right arm was filled with breath, and he punched Tie Jiu in the face.
There was a click and the nose bone was broken.
Tie Jiugeng was directly thrown out and hit the high wall of the small courtyard. The shock shook his internal organs and caused severe pain all over his body.
Jiang Li kept moving. He turned around and flew around behind Tieba who had just climbed up from the ground and was frantically touching his missing half of his ears. He twisted his hands behind his back, grabbed Tieba's arms, and used the power of his previous life. With the bone removal technique he learned, Tieba's arm bone was removed from his shoulder with a strong twist and two crisp sounds.
Jiang Li grabbed Tieba's collar, lowered his waist and twisted his hips, turned his back and threw him, and even threw Tieba, whose arms were dislocated, to the ground, causing snowflakes to fall.
"Master!"
Chu Chu stood blankly under the eaves with half a bowl of noodle soup, as if he was frozen in place, with her little mouth slightly open and her eyes widened.
Jiang Li's movements were too fast, like a strong wind. She didn't even see Jiang Li's movements clearly. Tieba and Tiejiu had already fallen to the ground with grinning teeth, wailing and screaming.
Tie Jiu covered his face with both hands, blood oozing out from between his fingers. He was trembling in pain, and his body shrank into a shrimp.
Tieba was lying on his back, vomiting blood and coughing violently. His body was trembling, his arms were as limp as noodles, and they were rubbing and swaying on the ground as his chest rose and fell.
Her weak scholar son seemed not to be satisfied yet. Not only did he kick the two of them hard several times, he even knelt down and groped them for a while.
"Master, what are you doing!" Chuchu was a little confused.
"I'm touching the body!"
Jiang Li answered naturally. After groping carefully for a while, he only found two cloth bags containing several taels of silver and copper coins, and two boxing manuals.
Jiang Li threw the cloth bag containing the silver to Chuchu, but he put away the two martial arts books.
"Sir, you are robbing someone. How can a scholar do such a thing!"
Chuchu's thinking was a little short-circuited. Although he still couldn't accept that his young master suddenly changed from a frail scholar to a fierce robber, he still couldn't help but want to correct Jiang Li's behavior.
When Jiang Li said the word "touch the corpse", she obviously saw Tieba and Tiejiu's bodies struggling more intensely.
Could it be that the young master wants to destroy the body and eliminate all traces of it?
How can this be good?
Is the kitchen knife at home too dull?
What about the whetstone?
"Nonsense, Young Master is just borrowing it!"
Jiang Li dragged Tieba and Tiejiu together and poured a bucket of cold water on them. The two slaves who had been wailing finally stopped screaming.
"Master!"
Tieba was trembling with fear, his upper and lower teeth colliding rapidly.
"Take your life!"
Tie Jiu's speech was slurred.
"Do you know why I beat you?" Jiang Li squatted in front of the two of them, his eyes full of love, and helped them wipe the freezing ice on their faces.
"We deducted the young master's monthly salary!"
Tieba said in a trembling voice: "We will definitely get the money. I just ask you, Master, to spare our lives!"
"The money is easy to talk about, but you are doing things for Jiang Xuanyao and taking advantage of my family. I don't want this to happen a second time!"
Jiang Li stretched out his hand, and at first he consciously picked up the kitchen knife that was thrown on the ground and put it into the hands of the young master.
"Master Jiang Li, we don't dare to look at Miss Chuchu again in the future!"
Tieba and Tiejiu looked at the kitchen knife dangling in Jiang Li's hand, with their hearts in their throats.
As long as they can save their lives, they must go to the eldest lady to complain.
A little bastard, cruel and ambitious, what is his intention? After the eldest lady finds out, she will never let Jiang Li live another day in the world!
"I know that once you escape with your lives, you will immediately go to the eldest lady to complain!"
Jiang Li rubbed his thumb on the blade and said gently: "But if I were you, I would definitely keep this matter in my stomach, and I would never be stupid enough to go to the eldest lady to seek death!"
Just listen to him muttering to himself: "The master is the master, and the slave is the slave. The Zhou Dynasty has clear hierarchy, orderly hierarchy, and strict etiquette. A slave dares to fight against the master. Does this mean that I have no rules in Zhenwuhou Mansion?"
“If Madam knows, you will be the first to be killed.
"Especially when you know that the eldest lady forbids me from practicing martial arts, but you still secretly pass on my martial arts manual. Even if you have a hundred heads, it's not enough for the eldest lady to chop you off!"
"What!"
Tieba and Tiejiu were startled when they heard this. Their bodies, which had just been frozen solid, instantly became sluggish, and their faces were extremely ugly.
