Chapter 12 Cleanup
The breeze blew slowly, swept over a lock of Ning Jinyun's hair, and arced in the air. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ning Jinyun's face sank, and his voice was cold, "It seems that our courtyard is really not clean, and this moment of hard work will find out another one, how can I rest assured, I'm afraid that if I don't figure it out today, it will only cause endless troubles in the future." ”
After that, she turned her face to look to the side and accentuated her tone, "Ah Lian, Chunping, you two listen to me, you have done your tricks on the accounts and embezzled a lot of money, if you go to the government, you will inevitably be punished with a cane, and then half of your life will be lost!" ”
As soon as they heard the word cane punishment, Ah Lian and Chunping couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, and their calves and stomachs trembled. With such a heavy wooden cane, I hit my body dozens of times, and I feel scared when I think about it.
"But I don't want to do too much, I'll give you a chance to make up for it today!" Ning Jinyun stared at them tightly, "As long as you are willing to contribute to me and help me clear the treacherous villains in the courtyard, I will leave you a way out." ”
Ah Lian and Chunping could only nod their heads busily, no matter what they were asked to do, at least it would be much better than being sent to the government.
"The slave is willing to make up for it."
"No matter what the young lady commands, the slave will not disobey, as long as ...... Just don't report it to the police. ”
Ning Jinyun nodded slightly, with a satisfied look in his eyes, as long as the two of them were willing to cooperate, then the rest would be done.
She said slowly, "What I want you to do is very simple, that is, write another whistleblower letter, expose all the people you think are unruly, and no one is allowed to pull down, as long as you do your best, I will keep my promise and open up to you." But if not, then don't blame me for turning my face faster than turning a book. ”
What the? Snitch? Ah Lian and Chunping subconsciously glanced at each other, a little surprised.
The other people in the courtyard were not only surprised, they were terrified, like rabbits chased by hunters, and they were uneasy in their hearts, fearing that they would be involved.
Ah Lian hesitated slightly, "Miss, the slave maid has never exposed other people's faults behind her back, so this whistleblower letter, the slave and maid don't know how to write it for a while, or you should tell the slave and maid to do something else for you." ”
"No way!" Ning Jinyun refused, "You can only choose between being a whistleblower and being sent to the official mansion, what's the matter, do you want me to report to the official?" ”
Of course Ah Lian didn't want to, she bit her lower lip and hesitated for a moment, and then finally agreed, in order to protect herself, she had to be this informant villain. But Chunping was much happier, she knew that she had fallen into bad luck, so she wanted to pull a few more people into the water in exchange for the balance in the dim sum.
"You only have time for a pillar of incense, don't bother, fortunately, you both can write, and it must not take much time, so write quickly." Ning Jinyun commanded.
Two small wooden tables have been prepared on the side, each with white paper and pen and ink. Qingyun took out a light short incense stick and placed it on the ground in the middle of the wooden table.
Ah Lian and Chunping picked up the pen and wrote a long list of handwriting while holding their foreheads and thinking. Both of them had embarrassed looks on their faces, and their cheeks were flushed, after all, doing such a despicable thing in front of everyone would inevitably increase the pressure on anyone.
All the maids and ladies in the courtyard focused their nervous eyes on the incense that was burning shorter and shorter, as if they wanted to force the incense to burn out quickly with their eyes, so that perhaps their names would not have time to be written on paper. They didn't know whose names would be on those two whistleblowing letters, and they couldn't understand why the second lady suddenly changed her personality and began to meddle in things.
The incense mist gradually ceased to linger, until a little fire on the ash flickered, and finally dimmed, and the incense was burned out.
Qingyun immediately walked to the table and took away the two pieces of paper and handed them to Ning Jinyun, the paper was densely filled with words, which made the others feel nervous and even more afraid.
After Ning Jinyun took it, she didn't go to see it immediately, but sent Ah Lian and Chunping away first, she said in a deep voice, "It's nothing to do with the two of you, you pack up your things and leave, Ning Mansion won't keep you." ”
"What? Miss, the slave and maid have served you for many years, you can't just get rid of the slave and maid, out of Ningfu, where else can the slave and maid go? After hearing this, Chunping immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded.
These slaves are most taboo to be dismissed by their masters, especially those who have been driven away because their hands and feet are not clean, if they are reported, no big families will be willing to hire them in the future, and they will also be poked in the backbone by some acquaintances, and they will not be able to raise their heads.
Ning Jinyun endured his anger and shouted softly, "You have made a big mistake yourself, and you still want to stay in Ning Mansion any longer, it's just a fool's dream." Do you want to get out of the house after a heavy penalty? ”
She could have lynched them, but she didn't.
Seeing this, Chunping knew that it was irretrievable, she had to cry loudly while walking to her house, she cried not that she was driven out of Ningfu, but that she was crying the money and gold bar she had saved so hard, and now these valuable treasures no longer belong to her, and she has become a poor girl who is poor and white.
Ah Lian didn't argue again, and dragged her heavy steps and walked back slowly.
Ning Jinyun let out a long breath, shook the whistleblower letter in her hand, and fell her eyes on the paper, she just glanced at it a few times and did it perfunctory, the content of the letter was not important at all, it was just a show, she actually had a sense of proportion in her heart.
She held her forehead and sighed, "It seems that there are so many dishonest people among you!" ”
Everyone suddenly became nervous, and even their breathing became slow, and they didn't dare to get out.
Suddenly, Ning Jinyun's voice became sharp, "Mother Xu, Mrs. Wang, Lingzhi ,......" She read out several names in one breath, and then shouted, "You are all on the list!" ”
"Miss, this ......"
It seems that some people still want to say something more to justify or beg for mercy.
But Ning Jinyun didn't give them this chance, she looked at everyone coldly, "I don't have the time to check you one by one, but since you can appear on the whistleblower letter, presumably you won't be innocent!" Our master and servant, I don't want to embarrass you too much, if you are interested, you can immediately pack up your things and get out of the Red Peony Courtyard and go to other courtyards to find errands! If not, it will be the same fate as Chunping and the others, they will be driven out of Ning Mansion and will not be used for the rest of their lives! ”
Mother Xu and the others didn't want to be kicked out of the house, they had already seen Chunping's fate and Ning Jinyun's power, and none of them dared to keep their mouths shut, so they had to leave in disgrace. That's nearly half of them.
The rest of the people also bowed their heads and were uneasy.
Ning Jinyun looked at them and said slowly, "In the past, I was too lax in my discipline of you, which made the Red Peony Courtyard a place to hide filth and dirt, and it was really chilling to think about it. But from today on, our yard must be changed, and if anyone dares to ignore the rules as nothing in the future and do things that should not be done, then I will definitely not show mercy and will be severely punished, do you hear? ”
"Yes, miss." Different voices replied in unison.
Ning Jinyun glanced around, her eyes were meaningful, today's move can be regarded as cleaning up the Red Peony Courtyard a lot, and in the future, she can sleep more peacefully.
