Chapter 41: The New Steward

Tang Chu took Shuangxi to the flower garden for a walk after breakfast, the day was clear, the master and servant were quietly enjoying the scenery in the garden, but they heard a quarrel not far away.

In the mottled shadows of the trees, the figures of several people were not clear to see, Tang Chu put his index finger in front of his lips, signaling Shuangxi and the others to silence, and several people slowly approached.

"Li Ming, aren't you kid very good at pretending to be a grandson on weekdays, what's the matter, as soon as Steward Cao left, you got carried away, and you actually sent it to us!" A big man with a strong body was punching the man on his knees.

The man struggled to get away with his hands tied, and he was forced to lie on the ground, crawling forward with his body squirming, and several workers around him were making fun of him with foul language.

"Haha! You don't look like a maggot. One of them burst into laughter.

Seeing that the big man humiliated the other party like this, he still didn't beg for mercy, stepped on the man's head with one foot, and the man's face sank into the mud, and the big man said loudly, "Li Ming, if you crawl under Uncle Ben's crotch, let's let you go today, how about it?" ”

The man on the ground raised his head, his face was covered with mud, but the rebelliousness in his eyes made the big man even more angry, and the man said disdainfully, "A few of you are stealing and playing tricks, let Miss Tang know that you are good-looking, I am the supervisor of this Zhuangzi, and you should be treated." ”

"Whew!" The big man spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm on Li Ming's face, his eyes were like copper bells, and he raised his voice, "Isn't bullshit, why didn't you care when Steward Cao was there, and now a little girl actually makes you a fox and a fake tiger." ”

"She is in the Zhuangzi now, let's pretend, and when she leaves, this Zhuangzi is not our world." The big man was full of spirit, and seemed to be very intimidating in Zhuangzi.

The others responded to what Dahan said, Shuangxi was very angry when she heard this, and she was about to step forward to theorize but was stopped by Tang Chu.

Tang Chu said in a low voice, "Don't act rashly yet, listen to it." ”

Shuangxi reluctantly hid his figure.

Someone over there continued, "Steward Cao is just too careless, it will be exposed so easily, if I solve the florist's family first, it will be the king to get rid of the trouble." ”

Li Ming, who was on the ground, suddenly raised his head again, he gritted his teeth and said, "A few of you will not end well if you follow Cao Yong to fight for the tiger, Miss Tang is kind-hearted and gave us the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but you don't cherish it, and sooner or later you will regret it." ”

"Oh? Looks like you're going to tell us. Several people's expressions suddenly changed, and the atmosphere was silent for a while.

The man held his head high and said, "Yes, I just want to expose you, I have done a lot of wrong things with Cao Yong, and now I can't make mistakes again and again, I advise you to also change your ways." ”

Several people glanced at each other when they heard this, and the big man instantly grabbed Li Ming's throat, Li Ming struggled hard, and his face was red.

At this time, an angry rebuke broke the silence of the scene, "Stop! ”

Before a few people could react when they heard this, they were already subdued by the family members brought over by Tang Chu.

The big man was kicked aside, and at the same time as his hand was released, Li Ming was also out of his confinement, and he hurriedly breathed in the fresh air, but he couldn't help coughing.

Tang Chu ignored him when she saw that he was fine, and she walked to those people with a light turn.

One of them had already recognized that it was the young lady of the main family, and he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and said with sincere fear, "Miss, I know that I am wrong, you spare the villain!" ”

Several others also bowed their heads and begged for mercy on their knees.

"Oh, I don't know what you've done?" Tang Chu's red lips opened lightly, and he looked puzzled.

"The little ones shouldn't be messing with Li Ming, but in the end, they actually moved the real thing, which really shouldn't be." The big man also reacted quickly, and when he saw that the last scene was no longer explainable, he went with the flow.

Tang Chu looked at Li Ming, at this time the other party had already relieved a little, and the rope behind him had been untied.

"Miss, these people are lying!" He glared angrily, and his mouth was full of words.

"You say, I'll listen." Tang Chu said softly.

Li Tao struggled to stand up and bow his hand and said, "Miss Hui, these people used to be the thugs next to Cao Yong, helping Cao Yong to do some things that lost their conscience, and they hid on weekdays, never working but receiving high wages."

Seeing Tang Chu frowning, he continued, "Now that Cao Yong is dead, these people have no support, so they began to pretend to work, who knows that they don't know anything about farming, and today they killed a lot of flowers, and the villain said a few words to them, and they were bullied by these people so far?" ”

Everyone looked at Li Ming's appearance really miserable, and those people flickered their eyes after hearing Li Ming's testimony, and they looked like they were thieves.

Shuangxi saw that the big man still wanted to quibble, she stepped forward and said coquettishly, "Why are you so black-hearted, my young lady treats the workers well and didn't send you to see the official, but you have been deceived so much, where is your conscience?" ”

Those few people were speechless, Tang Chu had no intention of listening to their quibbles, and ordered the family to tie them up to see the official.

Dahan and the rest of the people begged bitterly, but seeing that Tang Chu was unmoved, they actually moved to kill.

The big man suddenly broke free, his muscles bulged, and he rushed towards Tang Chu.

Tang Chu had already prepared, only to see her calmly retreat backwards, several well-trained family members quickly blocked the big man's attack, one kicked the big man down, and the other took the opportunity to unload his arm, and the two cooperated seamlessly.

The big man collapsed to the ground, unable to struggle, and the other people also stopped thinking of running away when they saw this, and accepted the binding in a proper manner.

The matter had calmed down, and Li Ming hurriedly knelt in front of Tang Chu, "Miss, thanks to you here today, otherwise the little one will definitely lose his life." ”

Seeing Li Ming looking at him with a grateful face, Tang Chu smiled indifferently and said softly, "It's okay, those people are bold, if it weren't for you today, I would also be blinded by them, and I am afraid that there will be bigger incidents in the future." ”

Looking at the immature Li Ming in front of him, Tang Chu was overjoyed in his heart, this person is a good hand at managing the manor, he is very proficient in the trading of flowers, and he follows Cao Yong to take care of the goods on weekdays, and he never shows his dew.

After the death of his father in the previous life, this Li Ming left the village, and Tang Chu knew his name because he met him when he was in the capital.

At that time, she had nothing to do, so she began to study rouge gouache, and when she was choosing flowers in a flower shop, Li Ming recognized her at a glance.

It turned out that after Li Ming left Zhuangzi, he defected to a relative in the capital, and because of his talent, he was promoted to the housekeeper of an official's family.

Since Tang Chu in this life saw him in advance, he would definitely not let such talents be left behind.

"Li Ming, do you have the confidence to be my Zhuangzi's steward?"

A clear female voice came from overhead, and Li Ming raised his head violently and looked at Tang Chu in disbelief.
