Xu Zigui didn't know who had spread this rumor. The left and right are passed on to ten, ten, hundred, and the more they spread, the more intense they become, and they naturally reach Xu Zigui's ears.

Zidai is the son of a family, if such a thing happens, if it is really as the rumors say, she and the Qin family planned to give up Zidai who had lost her legs at the beginning, Zidai and her old son will definitely come to make trouble.

The whole rumor was reasonable, and she had studied it repeatedly for a long time without coming up with any flaws in these words. Xu Zigui has to admire the spreader of this rumor, he is really thoughtful.

When several people heard Xu Zigui talk about the rumors of the past few days, they couldn't help but look at each other. On weekdays, the Qin family is good to them, and Xu Zigui is also friendly to them. When they first heard these rumors, they didn't believe it very much, but what they said was that they had noses and eyes, and the three of them became tigers, and this rumor spread.

"Are they all deaf!" Although Liu Lu has been taking care of Zidai and Red Sleeves for the past few days, Xu Zigui has also told her about this kind of thing, and she has also heard the rumors in the past few days, and she is even more resentful in her heart. Seeing Xu Zigui asking, but no one was willing to speak with their heads hanging down, so they couldn't help but get angry: "Didn't you hear the girl ask you?" Or are you all dumb? ”

After Liu Lu finished speaking, Xu Zigui raised his hand: "Don't you speak?" With unity! ”

Xu Zigui sneered, glanced at a few people, leaned lazily on the chair and said casually: "At the end of summer, you go to the uncle's place and come to the guards earlier."

At the end of summer, it should be out, and Xu Zigui will continue to be careless" said: "I have time to spend with them, and they won't say anything until they say it." ”

At the end, another sentence was added: "The guards trained by the eldest brother are all tortured criminals, and it is overkill to use them on this group of wolf-hearted people." ”

After speaking. picked up the teacup on the table and drank it slowly: "Mother Jiang, you are an old man next to your grandmother, and you know the rules of our Weiguo Mansion."

"Yes," Jiang's mother, who was named, came out of the ranks, and said after curtsimming: "Those who spread rumors in the mansion will be punished for forty years, and then driven out of the national mansion."

Xu Zigui nodded. Lift up your eyes and look at the crowd again. Seeing that everyone's faces changed again, the corners of their mouths hooked up a sneer: "Mother Wen, you talk to them on my behalf." Madame's account of this matter. ”

"Yes" Mother Wen also came out, and after curtsimming, she turned around and cleared her throat and said, "Madam said that this time, the eldest girl will be beaten or punished, and it is all up to the eldest girl." Madame also said that if the eldest girl is unhappy, she will sell you all. Catch up with Mrs. Ming'er, and invite someone to come again."

The implication is that because they collectively don't say anything, Xu Zigui won't do anything to them. Sue sù them. Don't think that the entire Weiguo Mansion will not be able to operate without them, and if you sell them, the Weiguo Mansion is not without the ability to invite someone to read it;. It's just a little more hard tuning.

"I know that you deceived me for my youth, thinking that I could not do anything to you." Xu Zigui glanced at everyone lightly. Expressionless: "You also heard it, I can't do anything to you, but the family rules of the Weiguo Mansion can." I see that many of you are old. I don't know if these forty sticks can be boiled. You are all old people in the house, and you know what to do in your own hearts. It is to name the culprits, and I only punish them, and let you go. Or will you be punished together and thrown out of the public mansion, and you will do it yourself. ”

They did look at Xu Zigui when he was young, thinking that a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl couldn't do anything to them, so they were collectively silent, thinking that none of them would speak, and Xu Zigui had no way to take them.

Who knew that looking at a weak and powerless child, the means were so hard. After Xu Zigui's words came down, a few people who were familiar with each other on weekdays looked at each other, and a few people knelt down

"The minions know that they are wrong, and I hope that the eldest girl has a lot of problems with us."

Xu Zigui didn't speak, only looked at them coldly, but Liu Lu was instructed, cleared his throat and said sharply: "Don't look at our girl and want to fool our girl when she is young, if you know that you are wrong, quickly say who spread this rumor, otherwise the people sent by the uncle will come in a while, and drag you all out first!" ”

"What I don't like the most is to force people to do things they don't want to do," Xu Zigui sneered, looked at the few people who had shaken their beliefs, and continued: "If you insist on not saying it, I won't embarrass you, and the uncle's people will come in a while,

Each of you will receive forty rods, and then he will give you out and buy them. ”

Xu Zigui had an expression of "what's the matter", which made Liu Lu, who was watching from the sidelines, almost not laugh. Even if ordinary people beat them with forty sticks, they may not be able to withstand it, not to mention that after Xu Ziyu's training, the beatings are all the weight of military sticks. Not to mention forty sticks, it's good to take twenty sticks.

"Big girl, spare your life!" Seeing Xu Zigui's iron-hearted appearance, several people hurriedly called for mercy, and some people even directly called out their names: "All the slaves and maids are recruited, it's Xi Qiu next to the big girl!" It's a rumor from Xi Qiu! ”

"Yes, it's Xi Qiu!"

Seeing that someone was making a noise, then someone chimed in. Xi Sheng then looked anxious to help defend himself, and glared at everyone angrily

"Don't talk nonsense and frame people, don't think that if Xi Qiu is not here, you can slander people at will!"

Xi Qiu was arranged to take care of the red-sleeved Zidai and the others with Chunhua, and Xu Zigui allowed them to be absent.

As soon as Xi Sheng's words of defense came out, someone then refuted it. Xu Zigui raised his eyebrows, looking playfully at the noisy crowd, looking at Xi Sheng with a blank look

"Yinghua, you are in the same room with Xi Qiu, has Xi Qiu told you?"

Yinghua didn't expect Xu Zigui to ask her by name, her expression was a little hasty, but she also shook her head: "We are all serving by the girl's side, and these untrue rumors will naturally not be spread by the people around the girl." ”

Xu Zigui nodded, and the corners of his mouth hooked a hint of mockery: "I haven't heard of you in Liuqing Academy." ”

After that, he looked at the others again, although he was angry in his heart, his face was still a ball of harmony: "You said it was Xi Qiu, but there is evidence?" ”

Zidai will not be able to serve in front of her in the future. She was just about to mention Xi Qiu's place in Zidai's place, but someone went on to say that this girl was not thinking right, and she was spreading rumors about her masters, and if this slap hit Xu Zigui in the face, it would really be loud;!

Xu Zigui laughed coldly, and wanted to slap her face, so she had to see if she could take this slap!

"Just a word, how can the slaves have evidence. Big girl, isn't this a danger, let's go" Mrs. Deng of the porter looked at Xu Zigui with an embarrassed expression: "This is the kung fu of the upper lip and the lower lip one by one." A sentence came out, where did the old slave go to find evidence for the girl. ”

"Yes, yes, yes," a few people saw someone who had come out. hurriedly began to chirp: "Xi Qiu is serving by the eldest girl's side again, we are willing to believe what she says, right?" Otherwise, we can't believe who she is! ”

Xu Zigui sneered and looked at them, verifying that these words were said by Xi Qiu, and remained silent on the sidelines. Just waiting for them to say that there was nothing more to say, Xu Zigui put away the sneer on his face. Continue to make a gentle appearance and say

"Since it is said that it is from the people around me, you will believe it, but there is more than one Xi Qiu around me. Which one is not better than her? ”

When a sentence came out, sure enough, the few people who had been blocking it had nothing to say about Xi Qiu. After a hint of ridicule flashed in Xu Zigui's eyes, seeing that no one replied, his eyes looked at Xi Sheng, who had just defended Xi Qiu. As if relieved that she had just defended her compatriots, Xu Zigui looked at Xi Sheng, and his eyes were full of smiles

"Xi Sheng. Are you right? ”

Xi Sheng nodded hurriedly: "That's what the girl said, Sister Liulu is more favored by the girl than Xi Qiu." Why don't you see any rumors from Sister Liulu? ”

Then someone answered as if singing a double reed: "So it's a villain, the so-called house thief is difficult to prevent, how can this villain be compared with the willow green girl?" ”

Xi Sheng's words sounded like he was defending Xi Qiu, but after thinking about it, Xu Zigui always felt that Xi Sheng was leading out the words of the people behind him.

After Xu Zigui raised his eyebrows almost invisibly, after his mind turned slightly, he stood up from the chair, walked down with Liu Lu's hand, and smiled at Jiang's mother: "I also have to trouble my mother to show me the list of those who have spread rumors." ”

Jiang's mother said yes again and again, took out a roster from her arms and handed it to Xu Zigui, and said with a smile: "The old lady said that these girls want to beat or punish them, and it is all up to the girl. ”

Xu Zigui looked at the roster, nodded lightly, and the more he looked at the corner of his mouth, the more the arc of the sneer on his lips became, and those who had spread the rumors were all cold in their backs, and some people had already knelt on the ground and began to beg for mercy.

At this time, at the end of the summer, he also led the people sent by Xu Ziyu over, and Xu Zigui lightly handed the roster in his hand to Jiang's mother and instructed: "In this way, I bothered Jiang's mother and Wen's mother to supervise them together and then buy them after receiving forty sticks." ”

"Yes"

Mother Wen and Mother Jiang were on their knees, and after pointing out who the people sent by Xu Ziyu were, they tied them up to the courtyard outside.

Several people struggled and apologized hoarsely to Xu Zigui, but Xu Zigui turned a deaf ear. Xi Sheng seemed to be soft-hearted and couldn't stand it anymore, so he knelt on the ground and pleaded for them.

Xu Zigui glanced at Xi Sheng, who was kneeling on the ground, and only asked: "Do you want to end up with them?" ”

Xi Sheng didn't dare to say anything more.

Xu saw that Xu Zigui would not be soft-hearted and spared them, and someone who dragged it down shouted at Xu Zigui, who came out with everyone to see them punished

"The eldest girl is really unfair, this rumor was obviously spread by Xi Qiu, why didn't the eldest girl punish her for readings;!"

Xu Zigui sneered, staring at the person who spoke without blinking. It wasn't until he looked at the man and trembled with fright that Xu Zigui chuckled sarcastically

"As for whether it is the rumor spread by Xi Qiu, it has yet to be confirmed, if you are not convinced, then wait for the forty sticks to be received, I will ask Mother Wen to kick you out earlier, so that you can see the fate of the person who really rumors."

As soon as Xu Zigui's voice fell, someone answered: "Xi Sheng's little slut also spoke for Xi Qiu, and the old slave knew that this rumor was said by Xi Sheng's little slut!" She also told the old slave that this was passed on by Xi Qiu! There are two who spread rumors around the big girl! ”

After listening to the man, Xu Zigui's face changed slightly, and after his mind turned slightly, he had an idea in his heart. looked at Xi Sheng lightly, and there was no expression on his face

"Is everything she said true?"

Although Xi Sheng is a third-class sprinkler and sweeper, he is also similar to Yingge and a few of them, he is the head of those sprinkler sweepers, and he has also been in contact with Xu Zigui and knows Xu Zigui's temper. Seeing Xu Zigui like this, she knew that she already had an idea in her heart, so she quickly knelt down and stammered

"Yes...... Be...... No...... Girl, listen to me......

"Explain?" Xu Zigui raised his eyebrows, looked at Xi Sheng funny, and after a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes, he put away all his expressions and put on that gentle face: "You don't have to explain, I naturally trust you and Xi Qiu." ”

After Xu Zigui finished speaking, he saw a trace of obvious happiness in Xi Sheng's eyes. A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, and he asked softly: "Didn't that person also explain that you said that Zidai was injured to protect me, why didn't you say this?" ”

Xi Sheng then reflexively spoke, "The slave said ......" After saying this, he lost his voice, covering his mouth and looking at Xu Zigui, his eyes were full of despair.

Xu Zigui sneered, his eyes were full of cold looks, he waved his hand at the people who were waiting to beat them, and after signaling them to start, he glanced at Xi Sheng coldly and commanded Liu Lu

"You watch her from outside, and let her kneel for an hour before you bring her to me."

Liu Lu bent his knees, and Xu Zigui instructed the others: "All the people in Liuqing Courtyard will stay for me, and everyone else will go back and do what you should do."

After that, he looked around at everyone and said, "If I hear anyone in the future who doesn't chew the root of his tongue indiscriminately, see that I don't tear his mouth apart!" ”

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, glad that they were not involved in these rumors. They didn't expect that the twelve or thirteen-year-old child would have such an iron hand.

Xu Zigui saw that everyone was afraid, so he waved his hand: "Let's go down."

After dismissing a few people, Xu Zigui looked at the people in the Liuqing Courtyard she left behind and ordered

"You come into the house with me first."

With that, he turned around first, took the hand of the end of the summer into the house and sat on the chair. Drinking tea, I waited for a few of them to come in one after another.

Fortunately, they were all trained by Xu Zigui, and they were quick to do things, and after a while, several people stood together and waited for Xu Zigui's orders.

Xu Zigui saw that everyone moved quickly, nodded with satisfaction, and then handed the teacup to the end of the summer and said lightly (to be continued)
