Chapter XVI: Punishment

Before the words fell, a pair of hands were raised in the air first, and they threw down at her with all their might.

Ye Lingyi's hands were quick, her eyes were suddenly sharp, and she caught her hand.

The female slave who was restrained was furious, and raised her other hand to pinch her neck, Ye Lingyi did not panic, only kicked her knee gently, and the female slave knelt at her feet.

"What? Just now you said that I seduced my master, so you are in a hurry to salute me? ”

A hint of a smile appeared in Ye Lingyi's big eyes.

Several minions exchanged glances, and they all gathered around her.

Ye Lingyi was injured, and it was more than enough to deal with one person, but she was really not an opponent when several people came up together, so she was quickly controlled by them.

A crisp slap was thrown on the side of her face, and the hot pain immediately burned up the root of her ear.

"You're very capable!"

The female slave's eyes were ruthless, and she grabbed her hair: "Don't expect to climb the high branches, and don't look at your identity, in this slave yard, you are just the most worthless, contemptible and disgusting sludge, not even the master's shoes are worthy of mentioning, only worthy of being stepped on." ”

The force of the slap just now made her accidentally bite the tip of her tongue, and a trace of blood in her mouth overflowed from the corner of her mouth, but her eyes were still stubborn.

She was forced to kneel on the ground, tilted her head and laughed evilly: "What about you? What do you think you are? In the same sludge, you are just lackeys for others, and you are not aware of being manipulated and used by others, which is simply stupid. ”

"Let you talk nonsense!"

The female slave kicked her in the stomach in a fit of rage.

Ye Lingyi frowned, and a strong pain immediately came from her abdomen, and she felt that her five internal organs were about to break.

The female slave was triumphant, and said to the person who held her, "What about the scissors? ”

A pair of scissors was served.

It was a pair of scissors used to cut the candle at night, and it was covered with a thick layer of white candle oil.

The scissors turned in the hand of the smirking female minion, the tip of the knife pointing down to her eyes.

Ye Lingyi's throat rolled up and down, and he said vigilantly: "What do you want to do?" ”

"Knowingly asked." The female slave touched the scissors and said, "Although I don't know what the master likes about you, but your face looks very annoying, why don't you help your sister peel this black skin for you to be reborn?" ”

"Damn!"

Ye Lingyi exerted his strength violently, but he still did not break free from the constraints of many people, but instead tore the injuries on his body.

The scissors were held in the hands of the female slave, and the tip of the knife fell fiercely into her eyes without the slightest hesitation......

"Dare to commit murder in Helian Mansion, I think you are tired of life!"

There was an angry sound in her ears, and the female slave holding the scissors was fierce one second, and the next second she was kicked to the ground, holding her chest in pain and snorting.

The people who restrained Ye Lingyi all knelt on the ground with a ghostly expression, and shouted in unison: "Danqing is in charge." ”

The short and thin young man stepped forward with concern in his eyes and helped Ye Lingyi up: "Are you okay?" ”

Ye Lingyi, who looked sluggish, didn't reply to him, as if he hadn't recovered from the fright just now.

Danqing frowned and glanced at the wet bedding, helped her out of the house, and said to a few minions: "Dare to be the king and hegemon here, I think you are cowardly and forget that this is Helian Mansion and forget the rules, if this is the case, then follow me to see Young Master Ling, see if he betrays you or directly kills you!" Walk! ”

In this era, the slaves in the house were sold before the deed of sale was sold, which was equivalent to being painted with a big unqualified garbage, usually the rich and noble families chose slaves in the net worth, most of them were children of poor families who could not afford to eat, like this kind of slaves who were sold were not only labeled as unqualified, but would not be re-selected, and the fate of such people was either to the poor family became a fertility tool and ended up starving to death, or was sold into the kiln and tortured to death.

In short, it's a dead end, but it's just a succession.

The female slaves are not very old, Danqing was so frightened, two of them immediately cried, especially the slightly older one who was the leader, who actually crawled over and grabbed Danqing's trouser leg in a panic and said: "It's Aunt Liu, all this is instigated by Aunt Liu, she is jealous that the girl has the favor of the young master, so she wants us to teach her a lesson, it's all Sister Liu's fault, it's none of my business!" ”

"Stupid!"

Danqing pushed her away in disgust and said, "Do you know that this girl is from the Taishi? Which green onion is her sister-in-law Liu? You are going to die for her? As soon as this happened, her fingers were as clean as ever, and you weren't so good! ”

The female slaves of the counselor were stunned for a moment, and then they realized that they had fulfilled Aunt Liu's wish and became a substitute for the dead.

Danqing didn't give them a chance to speak, so he ordered to the door: "Come quickly, tie up these rebellious people who talk about their masters and let Young Master Ling decide!" ”

The guards stepped forward.

In the sound of the slave girl crying and crying, Helian Che was invited to the scene.

This is a small courtyard carved out next to the inner courtyard, which was originally a place for people to watch at night, but today it has become a place of interrogation.

Liu Guzi was also twisted by the guards, struggling restlessly from side to side, and finally knelt on the ground in anger.

Helian Che looked at Ye Lingyi, who was kneeling next to Aunt Liu without saying a word, and Wen Tun said, "How much time has it been since yesterday's incident?" Why are you causing trouble again? ”

Ye Lingyi raised his eyes and looked directly at him, his dark eyes were clear.

Danqing said for her: "The master has misunderstood, today's matter is all this group of slaves......

Helian Che raised his hand and stopped Danqing from speaking.

"This little thing between the minions is also worth my appearance? I think it's getting more and more unruly in this house! ”

Helian Che's voice gradually deepened.

Danqing pounced and knelt on the ground: "Back to the master, according to the slave, this slave really needs to be rectified, if it is not for the slave to meet by chance today, I am afraid that the three years of hard work of the Taishi will have to be in vain, and then the life of the person is small, in case it angers the big thing in the palace." ”

He deliberately said it very seriously.

Helian Che quietly glanced at the person kneeling at his feet, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is so bold?" ”

The slave girl, who was still crying, was so frightened that she forgot to sob, and she shrunk her shoulders and didn't dare to squeak.

The older one was afraid that it would be too late, so he pointed to Aunt Liu and said: "It's Aunt Liu, Aunt Liu asked us to teach the green kite a lesson, it was all Sister Liu's idea, and we were forced to do it because of her obscenity, please learn from it!" ”

Sister-in-law Liu, who was suddenly named, looked ruthless: "Okay, you are a dead girl, you just bully others, and now you are joining forces to slander me?" How could I, Liu Sanniang, be so vicious to a little girl? ”

Helian Che squinted at the back and forth between the women, and said impatiently: "You said that Aunt Liu asked you to teach Qing Kite a lesson, why did she do this?" ”

The female slave glared at Aunt Liu fiercely and said: "She is jealous of the green kite, saying that the green kite has not been in the house for a long time but has been out of the limelight, especially today when she also entered the master's bedroom, if she does not kill her majesty, I am afraid that she will forget who she is in the future." ”

"Dare to talk nonsense!" Aunt Liu was not convinced, changed her hand and gave her a slap, and said to Helian Che: "Young Master Ling must not listen to this slut's nonsense, the slave has never said so!" ”

Helian Che didn't care much, and only said, "It seems that there are really no rules in this mansion." ”

Danqing knelt on the ground, his eyes were fierce, and he shouted: "Bold! The master is still in the seat, you dare to do it without permission, but there is still a master in your eyes? But are there rules? ”

Liu Sanniang realized that she had misbehaved, and she was shocked, and she hurriedly begged for mercy.

Helian Che propped his head: "Palm!" ”

The guard with the knife came over and threw his hand in Liu Sanniang's face.

The man's strength was very strong, but after only a few slaps, Liu Sanniang's eyes were already dizzy, the roots of her teeth were loose, and her face was red and swollen.

Liu Sanniang shouted in pain, tears and snot flowed into her mouth, looking disgusting. But Helian Che didn't shout to stop, and no one dared to speak.

"Alright."

By the time Helian Che finally spoke, Liu Sanniang had been beaten to the point of almost fainting, losing several teeth, blood and saliva falling down, completely losing the usual feeling of charm.

"Remember, don't be smart."

"Yes, thank you...... Thank you, master. ”

Liu Sanniang held on to her spirits, and spit out a few vague words from her swollen goldfish mouth.

"And you ......"

The cold gaze of the people on the seat was like countless cold arrows, and the young slave girls hugged each other and shivered.

"Who gave you the audacity to speak of the Lord's house?"

His voice was soft, but with infinite majesty.

The slave girls who had lost their minds wept silently.

Several guards listened to Helian Che's orders: "Dare to slander the master's family, these Diao slaves will only mess with the rules of the Taishi Mansion, drag them down and kill them with a cane!" As for Aunt Liu...... And he was demoted from steward to manu, and went and received thirty lashes. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he cried and cried.

Helian Che frowned, and with a wave of his hand, the guards all gathered around and dragged the slave girl down.

The older slave girl stared at her red eyes and shouted, "It's Aunt Liu, it's Aunt Liu who hurt me!" Sister-in-law Liu, you don't have to die well, I won't let you go as a ghost. ”

The girl's mournful cry and curse gradually faded away with the wind, and at this moment Ye Lingyi suddenly remembered the sentence: "In this slave courtyard, you are just the most worthless, contemptible and disgusting sludge, not even the master's shoes are worthy of being carried, only worthy of being stepped on." ”

Sure enough, the life of a slave is not as cheap as grass mustard, today is to kill one, tomorrow is to punish a group, noble people only need to move their mouths to give orders, and someone will be taken away from their precious lives.

What a sad thing to do.

Ye Lingyi suddenly felt that the group of people who had bullied him just now were very pitiful.

The initiator of this incident is obviously Liu Sanniang, just because it was the female slaves who spoke, and it was only because they mentioned Helian Che in their insulting and untrue remarks, so they deserved to die.

Where is this seeking justice for her?

From beginning to end, Helian Che didn't ask her half a point, because he didn't care what the truth of the matter was, no matter what happened to her, in his eyes, as long as she wasn't dead, as long as she could be used for the Taishi Mansion, nothing mattered.

Suddenly, she understood the meaning of Helian Che's laughter when she asked the cook for evidence yesterday, there are no police, there is no justice here, there are only power, oppression, and inferior people who are constantly enslaved like animals, what is evidence, and people with power and status speak that is called evidence and justice.

Ye Lingyi was in a heavy mood, although she was full of sympathy, but she didn't intend to intercede for those people, the most useless thing in this world was self-righteous sympathy from the same class.

Say thank you and get up.

When he was about to leave, Helian Che suddenly said something to her, he said: "If you want to live here in peace, you can only climb up the road with your tail between your legs and be a man." ”

Ye Lingyi looked back at him in wonder.

No trace was seen behind the silver mask.

The next day, Helian Che really sent someone over.

When Ye Lingyi was introduced to Tianxin Residence, Helian Che was sitting upright in front of the desk reading a book.
