Chapter 32: The Way of Master and Servant


In Wang Dachui's house, a maid dressed in coarse linen clothes led Qiu Moli and the others around Wang Dachui's mansion several times.

However, Wang Dachui, who she said was about to come back, has not even appeared yet. , Fortunately, the three of them were patient and wanted to see what kind of tricks Wang Dachui was playing.

"This is the Zhongyi Temple, a place where we worship our ancestors of the Wang family.

Our master's frugality and simplicity since childhood have a lot to do with the ancestral precepts of our Wang family."

The maid stopped at a place that looked like an ancestral hall and began to praise Qiu Moli and the others about how good Wang Dachui was, how frugal he was, and how he helped the people's worries.

However, after talking for a long time, she still didn't mention Wang Dachui. traces.

"But the news we heard outside is not like this.

Wang Dachui occupied other people's wives and daughters, deducted workers' wages, and continued to increase farmers' land rent."

The outspoken Zhaixing directly told the news he had inquired about, regardless of the impact of his words.

It will not cause displeasure to the people in Wangzhai.

"That's definitely jealousy.

By God, my husband has been frugal and kind all his life.

Those unscrupulous people know how to slander my husband when they have nothing to do all day long.

General, madam, you have to make the decision for my husband."

As the maid spoke, she pressed it against Zhai Xing.

Fortunately, Qiu Moli reacted quickly.

With a flick of the sword in his hand, the blade came to the front of the maid.

"The general and his wife don't like others to get too close to them.

Girls, please respect yourself."

When Qiu Moli came out, he deliberately left a few strands of hair, just enough to cover his eyes.

Coupled with a black dress, the aura of "no strangers" exuding from all over his body really had an effect.

The maid immediately He was so frightened that he took a few steps back.

"Isn't Wang Dachui back yet?"

Qiu Moli said coldly to the maid.

"Master, please wait a little longer, Master.

Master will be back soon."

The maid replied unhurriedly.

"You said your master went out, do you know when your master went out and when he will return?"

Qiu Moli asked again.

"The master went to the east of the city in the morning and said he would return home at noon.

Looking at the time, he should be back soon.

Should the general, madam and young master go to the wing to rest for a while and then have lunch?

Maybe the master will be back soon."

The little maid stood up and said to the three of them with an apologetic look.

"You are so brave.

You dare to let the general and his wife wait.

You know that when the general rises, even King Zhang and King Chen will be a little afraid of him.

I think this king is tired of living."

Qiu Moli suddenly became angry.

Suddenly, the little maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground.

"General, spare your life, madam, spare your life.

I really don't know when the master will come back.

I will send someone to invite the master now."

"Gulu" suddenly an inappropriate voice sounded.

Zhaixing looked at his belly in embarrassment, but thinking that he was playing Xuan Zixu at this moment, his momentum could not be any weaker, so he shouted arrogantly to the kneeling maid.

"General, I'm hungry.

Why don't you serve wine and food quickly?"

Qiu Moli had a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat.

He couldn't swallow it or spit it out.

Finally, Tiaoyue couldn't stand it anymore and gave Qiu Moli a comforting look.

"Yes, I'll go get ready now.

Just a few of you will wait in the dining room first."

As soon as the maid heard that Zhai Xing said she was hungry, she immediately got up and went to prepare food for the three of them.

As soon as the maid left, Zhai Xing turned to Qiu Moli next to him with a dogged expression.

"Madam, this palace does not seem to be what the outside world has rumored."

"I'm not blind."

Qiu Moli replied angrily.

"Madam" Zhaixing pouted, obviously dissatisfied with Qiu Moli's attitude.

"If you keep nagging me, I will throw you into the moat to feed the fish."

Qiu Moli glared at Zhaixing and walked towards the dining room alone.

"Madam" Zhai Xing called again.

However, Tiaoyue stepped forward in a good-tempered manner and patted Zhaixing on the shoulder, signaling her not to be angry.

Qiu Moli closed his eyes and mobilized all his inner strength to sense his surroundings.

After discovering a pair of eyes in the dark, he withdrew his consciousness.

Who said that there is no suspicion in Wang Dachui's mansion?

He is obviously a rich man, but he came to complain about her poverty.

If this is the case, then don't blame her.

"General, madam, and young master, please have some tea."

The maid held two cups of tea and handed them to Zhaixing and Tiaoyue politely.

It can be seen that the tea cup is quite old, and there is a layer of yellow tea stains on it.

When you open the cup, you can see a few strands of tea leaves that have not yet melted floating in the tea cup.

When you feel it with your hands, the tea cup is actually cold.

"What do you mean?"

Qiu Moli scoffed and asked the maid who was leading the way.

"Sir, it's no wonder that this servant girl has a bad harvest this year.

How much rice has been confiscated from the fields, and the court requires a lot of taxes.

The palace is almost at a loss."

While the maid was speaking, food was already being served in the kitchen.

Three green vegetables, which didn't look like a trace of grease.

From the moment they entered, except for more than a dozen guards at the door, no one else appeared in Wang Dachui's house. , and everything conveys a message.

Our palace is very poor and there is no way to collect rent.

In fact, what Qiu Moli didn't know was that Wang Dachui used this trick every year when it came time to collect rent.

Xuan Zixu was a little annoyed by him, so he simply stopped collecting it.

Qiu Moli sneered and looked at the maid who was still pretending to be pitiful.

She didn't feel angry at all, but that was fine.

Things that were too easy to do were always unchallenging.

"What's your name?"

Qiu Moli said to the maid in good temper.

"Slave Jie'er, the steward of the palace."

Jie'er lowered her head, not daring to look at Qiu Moli.

In fact, she was a little afraid of Qiu Moli.

The aura around her was so terrifying that she felt that all her secrets would be invisible in front of this person, but she had to do what the master told her.

"This prince's palace is special.

Women have also started to take charge."

Qiu Moli smiled and looked at Jie'er with an even sharper look.

"This" Jie'er hesitated for a moment and continued, "The palace's income is too small and it cannot afford to hire too many people, so there are only a few servants in total.

Jie'er is more careful, so she has gained the master's trust. " "You are so brave.

There are more than a dozen guards at the gate of the palace.

There are only so few people as you said.

If you lie again, I will drag you out, chop you up and feed you to the dogs."

Tiao Yue scolded sternly.

She couldn't learn from Qiu Moli's usual unruly behavior, but six points was no problem.

Qiu Moli had been saying that she didn't think it was right, but now she finally found something she could control.

As soon as Tiaoyue spoke, Qiu Moli stepped aside.

With such a respectful look, Tiaoyue almost couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

You speak when the master is resting, and step away when the master speaks.

This is the essence of the master-servant way.

Tiaoyue felt that Qiu Moli had taught him a lesson with a simple act.

"Madam, it's okay, this slave has nothing to do with me."

Jie'er knelt down and began to explain again, but Tiyue pulled her clothes open, revealing the smooth and round bracelet inside.

"The black jade from Hotan costs hundreds of taels each.

A servant has such a precious bracelet on his wrist.

You told me that the palace has no money and you must not tell me that this is from the ancestors.

I remember that this is The most famous jade shop in Kyoto just released the treasures at the beginning of the year. " There is no basis for what he said about picking the moon.

Qiu Moli doesn't like to go to places where women like to go, so they actually see less things.

But who told Jie'er to do something wrong?

Tiaoyue was frightened.

"Me."

Jie'er hurriedly freed her right hand from Tiaoyue's hand, but Qiu Moli's sword was already lying across her neck.

"Disrespect to the lady, death" With a flash of white light, the sword pierced Jie'er's neck.

Jie'er was so frightened that she rolled back desperately and kept mumbling.

"It's not me, it's not me, it's the master who ordered it."

"Shadow Guard, stop."

Tiaoyue called to Qiu Moli.

After Qiu Moli put away his sword, he squatted down and said to the man who was shaking with fear.

"What did the master command?"

Jie'er still wanted to struggle, but Qiu Moli, who was behind Tiaoyue, picked up the sword again and looked at Jie'er threateningly.

"Don't kill me, I say" :
