Chapter 584: Slave
Maybe it was the intuition of people who had been on the battlefield, hearing this, Lan Zhen was 'groaning' in her heart at that time, and she didn't feel good. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He took a closer look at Lady Hu's face and saw that although she still had a smile on her face, and the people in the palace had all practiced a superb ability to smile and not smile, he still judged in an instant that Lady Hu was smiling.
He looked at Siqi's expression again, and saw that her expression was not very good, so he suddenly felt bad, but he couldn't think of anything that Lady Hu had to say to him.
'Surely she won't be allowed to talk about national affairs, but as for the rest, what else can there be? Lan Zhen, who doesn't take much care of housework on weekdays, couldn't think of what she would say for a while, so she could only say: "Aunt Hu is polite, please say anything directly." ”
"Since Grandpa Guo said so, the slave and maid will say it directly." Female official Hu first saluted Lan Zhen and the Chen couple, and then spoke.

In the backyard of the Liang Guogong Mansion, the sound of 'crackling' and 'crackling' kept sounding, occasionally mixed with the screams of women.
In the middle of the courtyard, three women in their twenties and thirties were lying on the ground, and three strong men kept falling with the board, and at first someone held down the arms, legs and feet of the three women to prevent them from moving, but at this time no one was pressing, but they were unable to move their bodies, but every time the board fell on their bodies, they let out a hoarse scream.
Around the six of them, countless servants from the palace stood by, but the slightest voice of speech could not be heard.
After a while, one of the strong sweaters stopped and said to Lan Zhen, "Master, she has passed out. ”
"Wake up with water and keep fighting! Kill it! Lan Zhen looked at him coldly. The man shuddered, quickly fetched a bucket of water and splashed it on the woman's face, and when she woke up, she raised the board and started fighting.
After a while, Lan Zhen asked the other three people to replace the three of them, and the sound of the board hitting the person paused for a moment before it sounded again.
Chen couldn't bear it anymore and said to Lan Zhen: "Master, just beat it and throw it out of the house, you don't have to kill it." ”
"The Ming Dynasty has very strict regulations on the slaves and maids of the eunuchs, and the police are wider than dogs. And Siqi is kind-hearted, and he definitely doesn't want anyone to die because of himself. ”
Of course, Lan Zhen wouldn't listen to her: "No! Siqi is indeed kind-hearted, so they dare to chew the root of their tongue behind their backs, how can they not punish them harshly! As for the government, if he sent the housekeeper to talk a little about the matter and the general judgment in charge of Zhongcheng, he didn't dare to ask any more, presumably Yin Huanghuai of Tianfu would not have much to do. ”
"Besides," Lan Zhen said to Chen with some reproach: "How do you manage your family on weekdays, and you don't know that people say such sour words to arrange Lian'er and Siqi?" ”
Chen didn't want him to even blame himself, and he didn't dare to stiffen his head, so he could only say: "The concubine is not strict with the royal family, and I will definitely learn a lesson in the future and ask the master to forgive me." ”
After a while, the three women were completely silent, and a strong man probed his nose and said, "Master, it's dead." ”
"You go to the Midtown Police Station and tell them that three maids have died in our house. If they asked, they would say that these three maids had slandered the lord's family, and if the general judge came out to inquire in person, it would imply that he had something to do with the lord of Guangling. ”
Lan Zhen instructed the housekeeper and said to the others: "Throw the bodies of the three of them into the mass grave outside the city; Their families were all expelled from the house, and all their belongings were confiscated, leaving only a coarse cloth garment for each of them. Slow, or retribution to Tianfu to exile their whole family to the northwest. There are still a few women in the family of these three people, and there is a shortage of women in the northwest, so send a few to Qin Fan. ”
After that, he paused, and then said in a loud voice to all his subordinates: "From today onwards, if there is anyone who chews the root of his tongue behind his back, he will be dealt with in this way, and he will not be spared!" ”
He ordered a few more things and brought Chen to see Siqi.
……
……
Siqi, who was sitting in the house, listened to the sound of 'crackling' and 'popping' outside, and was very uneasy, and after turning around a few times, he said to Female Officer Hu: "Aunt Hu, I'd better go and ask my uncle to let them live, they were all raised by their parents, so I couldn't bear to kill them." ”
"Your Highness is so kind-hearted, it is really a blessing for your subordinates." Lady Hu praised it first, and then said: "But Your Highness, there are no rules, and there is no circle, and this rule has to be established." ”
"Your Royal Highness, do you still remember the "Book of Tang", the rules were messed up in the late Tang Dynasty, and the eunuchs dared to abolish the emperor?" Seeing Siqi nodding, she continued: "Even the royal slaves who break the rules can bully the master, let alone other people?" The queen mother is such a charitable person, and every month there are also minions who are killed by the rod. And I'm afraid that His Royal Highness doesn't want to grow up and get married in the future and let the servants in the family oppress the master, so you must make rules. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang and Yun Xi were deeply impressed by the eunuch deposing the emperor recorded in the "Book of Tang", so Yun Xi stipulated that the earliest history book in the Royal Academy was the "Book of Tang", and he himself had nothing to do with Min'er, Siqi, and Baoqing casually talking about the things in the "Book of Tang", so Siqi also knew what Nuguan Hu was talking about.
"It's true, but I still can't bear it." Siqi said.
"Your Highness is still young, it would be good to understand more when you are older." Lady Hu said.
At this time, Lan Zhen walked in and said to Siqi: "Siqi, my uncle has already disposed of the entire family of those people, and the three parties have also been killed. Uncle also issued a strict order, and anyone who chewed the root of his tongue behind his back would be killed with a cane. ”
"Siqi knows." Siqi said.
"In addition, my uncle apologized to you, and the slaves and maids in the family were so disrespectful, it was my uncle's." Lan Zhen saluted.
"How can this nephew accept it." Siqi hurriedly avoided it.
Lady Hu said: "Grandpa Guo, this is just a mistake made by the subordinates, why should Grandpa Guo be like this." ”
"My majesty is not strict, so there is such a thing in the house, and I should make amends." Lan Zhen said.
After a while, Lan Zhen didn't salute Siqi after all, but the matter passed.
However, after Siqi left the Liang Guogong Mansion and returned to the palace in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Lan Zhen rectified the palace despite the Chinese New Year, and the aftermath of this matter ended in the Liang Guogong Mansion.
……
……
"These three women, the people from the Liang State Mansion said that they were killed because they offended the county lord of Guangling?" Huang Huai asked.
"Yes, Huang Fu Yin." The general sentence in charge of the police in Zhongcheng said: "The Liang Guogong Mansion also expelled the families of the three women from the mansion and exiled them to the northwest. The reason for the subordinate's interrogation was the same. ”
"In that case, there is no need to continue to pursue this matter, just archive it." Huang Huai said calmly.
But after the general judgment retreated, Huang Huai angrily tore up the documents in front of him, and then began to write hard. After a short time he put down his pen and put what he had written into a clip. On the side of the clip is a line of words: Report to Your Majesty after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
