Like all feudal dynasties, the Qi dynasty did not attach much importance to slaves.

Slaves can buy and sell freely among the powerful, and what attitude they have towards is the business of the powerful.

Random scolding and indifference are the norm, just like Xie Xunzhu treats coral, ordinary people will only sigh that coral has suffered great luck and met a good person.

According to the law of the Qi Dynasty, as long as the slave is left behind, how to deal with it is the master's business, and it is impossible to use lynching.

If you have to kill the slave, you need to report it to the local magistrate and explain the reason, and if the magistrate allows, the slave can be executed.

The wooden hammer reflects the orange light of the candle flame in the eyes of the coral, not adding the slightest warmth, but rather passing the cold.

Coral was full of horror: "Auntie, Coral knows that she is wrong, Coral doesn't dare, spare Coral, Coral will definitely not disobey Miss in the future!" ”

After all, it was also a child who had been treated with heart, Xie Qiao'er turned her head and covered her eyes with a handkerchief, not daring to look at the next tragic situation.

Xie Qiao'er couldn't bear it, those girls and mothers-in-law were used to doing these things.

They are indifferent to coral's pleas for mercy.

Forcibly open the coral's hand, put the unfolded hand joints into the hammer, and then pull the ropes on both sides of the hammer and start pulling outward.

Ten fingers connected heart is not nonsense, Coral only feels that the pain in his hand directly spreads to the whole body, and no place is comfortable.

"Ahh......h Aunt Xie, Mrs. Zhou, Coral knows that she is wrong, she doesn't dare anymore, spare Coral's life......"

Xie Qiao'er felt uncomfortable in her heart, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.

"Otherwise, let's stop here."

In the end, he couldn't hold back and begged Mrs. Zhou for a favor for Sango.

Mrs. Zhou's expression was calm, as if she hadn't heard Coral's cry.

"Aunt Xie is really soft-hearted, but ah, my sister advises you, if you don't teach a lesson to your subordinates who have made mistakes, they won't take it to heart."

Coral's hands were already red, and he was no longer feeling from the shoulders down, and his red face, which had been hot from the cold, had turned pale.

Mrs. Zhou snorted lightly: "That's it, keep her hands, but you will have to serve people later." ”

The girls obediently unloaded their hoops from the hands of the corals.

Xie Qiao'er finally dared to look at the coral.

The originally thin little hands were red and swollen, and they were even trembling slightly, and the coral also cried out for help weakly, and he was weak one by one.

Xie Qiao'er couldn't stand it for a while, and tears flowed down again.

Coral suddenly relaxed, the pain in his hands became more obvious, and he saw Xie Qiaoer's red eyes crying with tears.

"Thank you...... Aunt Xie, Coral knows that she is wrong, Aunt Don't cry..."

Even if you beg for mercy, you will become as small as a cat.

"Tsk, what else can be said, it seems that the punishment is not enough."

Xie Qiao'er was incredulous: "Madam, this is okay." ”

"Isn't that not done to the end, according to the family law, this slave who didn't serve a good person is going to cut off her hand, because it was your intercession, I let her go......"

Mrs. Zhou said politely, but Xie Qiao'er did not relax, but her nerves tensed up, and she listened carefully to Mrs. Zhou's words.

"This rule must not be abolished, otherwise the minions in this family will not all be bullied on the master's head, so let's beat her ten boards again."

As soon as Mrs. Zhou's words fell, those girls and mothers-in-law began to take action, respectively to dismantle the chains on the coral, and some people to move the bench and the board.

Xie Qiao'er: "Madam, the coral is still small, and I can't help but stick to the solid wood board, what if I make a good one?" ”

"It's because of her young age that she has to discipline her well, otherwise when she grows up and thinks more, wouldn't it be more difficult to manage, as for her life, Aunt Xie rest assured, those people don't know how many times they have been beaten, and there is a weight under their hands."

Xie Qiao'er wanted to say something more, but Zhou Qianrong said lightly: "Aunt Xie, my mother has already let go of this maid's hand because of your plea, the rules are unbreakable, and my aunt must be more sensible." “

Xie Qiao'er couldn't speak, and the best handkerchief was pulled out and said the seal.

The executions were ready, and the girls moved the coral from the shelves to the benches without pity.

Coral's hands drooped limply, sticking to the dungeon's dust, and looking even more embarrassed.

"Ahh

As soon as the board went down, Coral screamed directly.

The boards used for this execution were all made of solid wood, which was extremely heavy, and the executioners were all muscular men, one with two corals.

Such a man would have a hard time picking up any board, let alone the coral that was beaten.

Xie Qiao'er was sitting on pins and needles, and wanted to stand up several times to stop it, but when she thought of Xie Xunzhu who was still in bed, she endured it.

Mrs. Zhou's attention was not on the beaten coral, she sipped the tea in the cup with a dignified posture, and looked at Xie Qiao'er with a sad face.

rolled around the other party's still young and beautiful face, and then took it back carelessly.

Under the cover of the teacup, a smile that is quite pleasant is evoked.

Another board fell heavily, and Coral's already thin clothes soon saw blood, sticking to his body with his already dried clothes.

Xie Qiao'er couldn't sit still even more, and couldn't stop wringing the handkerchief in her hand.

She had only grown up in the township before, and what she had seen the most was that the villagers had soaked those women who did not abide by women's morals in the pig cage, and she was just watching from afar.

Where she had seen this kind of battle face to face, the board that fell down seemed to hit her heart, but it made her uneasy.

"Auntie, drink tea." Pearl's worried voice sounded in her ears, temporarily relieving Xie Qiao'er's wrong state.

Xie Qiao'er took a sip of tea, but felt that there was no taste, and barely stabilized her mind, her eyes moved from Coral to Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Qianrong.

Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Qianrong looked calm, and they were used to seeing this kind of scene at a glance.

Xie Qiao'er's heart was cold, and for the first time, she saw the indifference and disregard of human life for these superiors.

It is undoubtedly a difficult task to survive in this kind of house, and it is too thin to rely on the favor of a man alone.

That being said, it is true that it is impossible to do without the favor of this man.

Only by completely controlling the house can Mrs. Zhou pay attention to her.

Don't look at Mrs. Zhou, who listened to her plea, she was actually acting according to her thoughts.

There is also this second lady, who is also a character who is not easy to mess with.

Thinking of Xie Xunzhu, Xie Qiaoer felt endless courage welling up and down her body.

Xie Xunzhu is Xie Qiaoer's hope now, not only the blood tie, what Xie Qiaoer wants to get from Xie Xunzhu, maybe even Xie Qiaoer is not clear.
