Zhou Hu, who did not expect that he would be promoted and take over the position of second housekeeper, was excited to kneel on one knee and bow to the ground, and thanked Li Wenxuan for his trust and respect for himself with both hands and fists. In fact, Li Wenxuan knew that Zhao Han's ability to do things was still very strong, so he didn't give him a sweep to the end, and went out directly. The reason why he retained his position as a steward was not only to sound a certain alarm bell and necessary punishment for him, but also to leave room for his reflection so that he could have the opportunity to use it again in the future. Zhao Han, who can be punished by his master like this, is quite clear in his heart.

He didn't have any complaints and too much dissatisfaction, after all, he capsized in the gutter this time, but was directly killed by his henchman Laiwang. There is indeed Zhao Han, who has poor leadership, and he doesn't feel how wronged he is. Facing Zhao Tian'er by himself, Lin Ruoxi and Su Meiniang were unprecedentedly united and hostile to him, and they escaped the catastrophe and passed the test. It's just that he was cut off most of the real power in the house, but he was extremely reluctant. I know that even if I am reluctant, there is no way to get it back, and the only thing I can do at the moment is to go to the head door diligently on an errand, and patiently wait for my lord to re-lift and reuse him in the future.

Lai Wang, who was kneeling outside the door, was instantly frightened after listening to Li Wenxuan's disposition of him. With tears and snot flowing down, he kowtowed so hard that he begged for mercy: "Master, spare your life!" The villain really knew that Lu Dao was wrong, and he didn't dare anymore. Please give the little one a last chance! Li Wenxuan, who didn't speak, just gestured to Zhou Hu with his eyes, and it was intended to let him understand this dog thing as soon as possible.

Zhou Hu, who understood it, stood up unhurriedly, turned his back and walked to the threshold, and replied to Laiwang with an expressionless face: "You have no chance in this life." After speaking, he raised his right hand, stretched out his index finger and tapped his two apprentices. And it means that they should quickly drag it away and find a secluded place to drop it.

Seeing that his master was promoted to the second housekeeper of the mansion, on the one hand, he was happy in his heart, feeling honored and more powerful, after all, the two of them were not compared to others, but Zhou Hu's personal disciples. On the other hand, he came to Laiwang with quick movements, grabbed one of his arms, and dragged him away without saying anything.

The fire in her heart was all poured on Zhao Han's head, Su Meiniang, glaring angrily: "What are you still kneeling here?" Is it possible, still waiting for you to be rewarded? Looking at you, I feel like it's an eyesore. Don't hurry up and give the old lady to the head door to be on duty. After kowtowing again, he quickly got up from the ground, retreated out of the hall with a disgraced face, and then rushed directly to the head door to be on an errand.

"The next thing. I don't care. The three of you can discuss it! Li Wenxuan, who put the tea in his hand on the table, remembered that he had just sent Laiwang's little life to see the king of Hades without thinking too much. It was the first time in his life that he killed someone, and he knew in his heart that Laiwang was guilty and not to death, after all, he had not yet committed the fact that he had committed adultery and Xiaoshuang. However, if you say what you say, you can't take it back and change your words, and the effect of asking for the other party's life is more powerful to deter the people in the house. Establish the first prestige of the head of his family.

In the past few years, it is inevitable that Li Wenxuan, who has been affected by the great environment of this era. After all, those who are in high positions, those who have power, those who are either rich or noble, those who are high, and those who are from good backgrounds...... It is not to treat the slaves and maids under his name as real people, but as their own private property. Almost all the slaves and maids in his house signed the deed of sale as a "death deed". That means that their lives and deaths are sold to him. Even if Laiwang is a "living deed", he can't help Li Wenxuan, after all, in the house with this background, who dares to jump out and sue him directly? Suing him is tantamount to asking for his own death.

The magnates demanded the lives of their slaves and maidservants as if they were animals. There isn't much difference. Although there are such and such provisions in the "Da Ming Law", the provisions are dead, and people are alive. In real-life examples, the severity of the punishment for killing a slave or maid is almost negligible. What imprisonment, exile, death sentence, etc. are all false dead letters, and the real one is who has the most energy, and who is the real master who has the final say. Among this kind of high-ranking families, there are always many slaves and maids who die unexplained every year. It can be said that it has long been strange. If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself, since you sold yourself as a slave, then you have to accept your fate.

Of course, among them, the families who can raise slaves and maids are naturally either rich or expensive. Even if it is not a wealthy family, it will be an ordinary wealthy family. No matter where the government and yamen above it encounter this kind of thing, no one sues the official, and it should not exist. If someone sues, the usual punishment of the chief official is at most to make the master who killed the slave and maid pay money to the family of the deceased, so as to reduce the big matter into a small one, and make a small matter into a small matter. The family of the deceased is nothing more than a benefit, after all, everyone should understand this eternal truth, the poor do not fight with the rich, and the rich do not fight with the officials.

Li Wenxuan, who didn't feel any psychological uneasiness, didn't even feel that something was missing. This human life, it seems, in his heart, is equivalent to dropping a copper plate. Everyone inside and outside the house, whether it is the master and mother of the Li Mansion or the slaves and maids in the house, no one will feel that their master has done anything wrong. In their eyes, all this is perfectly normal. After all, how the owner disposes of his private property is completely justified.

The ugly girl standing next to Li Wenxuan knew that the truth of her henchman Xiaoshuang not only made her unable to get out of it, but even the slaves and maids under her subordinates would be in danger for everyone in the future. Instead of letting the master open his mouth to hold her accountable, it was better to take the initiative to take the blame, so he suddenly knelt on the ground and said: "The slave and maid are derelict in their duties, and they have not managed and restrained the slaves and maids below, which will cause today's chaos." Please punish the slave and maid! ”

"Get up! This one has nothing to do with you. Even if there is a mistake, it is also the fault that they have fears and concerns in their hearts, and they dare not speak out. They don't open their mouths, so how can you know what the servants are thinking? Besides, you are busy with things inside and outside the house, and it is inevitable that you will not be able to scruple about it, which is understandable. Thinking that Li Wenxuan, who was loyal to her and served her wholeheartedly, would not have involved her in this matter at all, so she personally found a high-sounding reason for her to perfunctory and prevaricate.
