Yuzhou, Shuiyun City, prefect's lobby

"Ruxin Lady is here?"

"You can take a look at all these materials."

Chu Qianqiu sat in the guest room of the prefect's mansion, occupied Lord Cui's office, sat in the center, commanded the guards to relieve the people of Shuiyun City, and at the same time investigated the traces of the Blood Demon Gate.

In the course of the investigation, he summoned his own wife to discuss the placement of the victim.

Since the whereabouts of the Blood Demon Gate have not been found yet, let's settle the people first.

"Yes, husband."

Liu Ruxin is the shopkeeper of the Liu family, and she is also the head snake of Shuiyun City, and the help of the Liu family is indispensable to settle these female workers who are affected by the blood mist.

When Liu Ruxin heard this, she hurriedly took the information handed over by Chu Qianqiu, which was full of complaints from some female workers and long-term workers.

The Liu family is the richest merchant in Yuzhou, and vaguely overshadows the tea family that monopolizes the tea trade, with hundreds of thousands of textile women under their command, all over the cotton fields of Yuzhou, mulberry silkworm breeding, and providing a large number of textiles for Shenwu and Daxia.

And the Liu family is not charitable, so their treatment of female workers is naturally not much better.

The average female worker has to work up to eight hours (16 hours) a day, almost all day long, and the pay is quite low.

For the farmers, this is a considerable income, but compared to their labor intensity, it is some hard-earned money.

Just as the landlord Lao Cai in Fengzhou will knock on the bones and suck the marrow, the food appearance of the Liujia Workshop will not be better.

"Does the husband mean to improve the treatment of these female workers?"

Liu Ruxin knows Chu Qianqiu's temperament, for the bottom of this world, he doesn't have the style of a big man at all, but like a good person in the real sense.

Chu Qianqiu nodded, chuckled and said:

"Yes, the lady is absolutely right."

"Because most of the female workers who committed suicide this time were [raw hands] abandoned by the Liu family."

"The female textile workers of the Liu family are divided into two kinds, one is [raw hands] and the other is [skilled hands]."

"If you want to transform into a [Skilled Hand], you must at least give the Liu family three years of free work, and then three years of inspection, and finally become a [Skilled Hand]."

"Among them, the female workers who use waste will be swept out of the house by the Liu family."

It is true that the female textile workers of the Liu family belong to the citizen class, and their incomes are very high, and some of them can even buy properties and farm properties, which is true.

The female textile workers of the Liu family are not so glamorous, and many female workers even work part-time to pick up customers, to pick up those inferior guests who are not rare in Yihong Courtyard and Qinglou, which is also true.

The mystery of the two lies in the difference between "new hands" and "skilled hands".

The Liu family built a hierarchy of female workers, recruited a large number of new workers, and at the same time gave [skilled hands], that is, senior female workers, higher salaries, to attract new workers to work for the Liu family for free.

Skilled hands are used to set an example, and raw hands are used to squeeze.

Chu Qianqiu was familiar with the operations of various capitalists in his previous life, and when he came to the Liu family's side, these tricks could be seen at a glance.

In the previous life, many of them also played like this.

Let the younger brother see how cool the life of the boss and cadres is, so that the younger brother can work hard with the minimum wage.

"Husband, it's not free employment."

"The Liu family also gave these apprentices a meal, as well as part of the remuneration."

"If the husband thinks it's unreasonable, the concubine will let the head of the family change."

Liu Ruxin hurriedly defended the operation of the Liu family, for fear that the Liu family would be rectified by her husband.

"Don't worry, lady, I'm not angry."

"In this world, the Liu family's workshop at least provides such a job."

Chu Qianqiu said mildly.

"So you can do this thing, try to improve the treatment of the raw hands, and don't let the blood god take advantage of the opportunity."

"Blood God?"

Liu Ruxin asked with some confusion, although she determined that the suicide of female workers was abnormal, but she did not find out more information.

"Yes, Blood God."

Chu Qianqiu threw out more information, which made Liu Ruxin take a look at it and was taken aback.

"At present, Xu Zishuang has investigated clearly, and this time the ritual is related to the Blood God."

"This blood god is the god of the Blood Demon Gate, one of the evil gods left over from ancient witchcraft, good at confusing sentient beings with illusions, and prefers living sacrifices."

"This time, the Blood Demon Sect is taking advantage of the resentment generated by the Liu family's squeezing of [raw hands], and using the resentment to cast spells to spread the relevant teachings about the blood god in their sleep."

"The Blood Demon Sect Master personally cast a spell, which made these raw hands have a happy dream, and they also got the potion left by the Blood God."

"Lady, you can guess what kind of potion this is."

"Husband, it won't be a fairy scatter, right?"

Liu Ruxin gasped, she didn't expect that among the Liu family's workshops, this kind of strictly forbidden potion would be popular.

"Yes, this potion can make people hallucinate strongly, which corresponds to the illusion of the blood god."

"Let's consider the mental reaction of the women workers."

"On the one hand, they are facing the illusion of the blood god, the spiritual inducement of the martial arts master, and the potion that is designed to make them happy."

"On the other hand, I have been working for three years, and I have never been able to become a skilled hand, and I have to worry about being swept away."

"With the interaction of the two forces, it is not surprising that this large-scale death-seeking incident in Shuiyun City is not at all."

Chu Qianqiu finished reading the joint investigation between Yang Guang and Dou Xiuying, and understood the methods used by the Blood Demon Sect in this regard, as well as the tactics arranged by the other party.

After all, he had already advanced to his true body, so he naturally knew the convenience of playing a god, and it couldn't be that only Chu Qianqiu could play a god, and no one else would do it.

[The head of the Blood Demon Gate, his real purpose is probably to play the Blood God and advance to the true body. 】

[This grand death-seeking case is the occasion for the birth of the blood god. 】

[It's just that I still haven't figured out one more thing.] 】

[Why did he choose this point in time to start the action?] 】

Based on these signs, Chu Qianqiu quickly judged the whole thing.

It's just that he still doesn't understand a little bit.

The head of the Blood Demon Sect could completely wait for Chu Qianqiu to leave before holding a grand ceremony.

But he bumped into this point in time, it was simply looking for death, which was incredible.

After all, a martial artist who has become a great achiever really wants to have a hard fight with Chu Qianqiu, I am afraid that he will not be able to catch a single move.

Chu Qianqiu was blocked from heaven, and there was no way to rely on intuition to judge the truth of the matter, so he could only think slowly about countermeasures.

[And isn't he afraid of being chased and killed by the Maha Temple? ] 】

[Heavenly masking is not omnipotent, like the Luo Shu of the Supreme Perfection Academy, you can find out the heavenly masking of the little fox. 】

[Then it is very likely that the six-tailed Sky Fox will have to be sure that he can escape. 】

[Do you want to inform Zen Master Zuyuan? Let him fly over to take care of affairs, or invite the celestial beings out of the Maha Temple. 】

[Don't be in a hurry for the time being, I'll see what other means the head of this Blood Demon Sect has, so that I can annihilate them one by one. 】

[Let the Maha Temple owe me ten more favors, the favors are full, a flower. 】

And Liu Ruxin had already understood what Chu Qianqiu meant at the moment when he was thinking, and hurriedly added.

"Husband, the concubine knows."

"If you leave the matter of giving birth to the concubine, you will definitely persuade the head of the family to treat the female workers well."

Liu Ruxin hurriedly said.

"The lady is wrong, not persuading the head of the family."

"But you are now the head of the Liu family."

Chu Qianqiu smiled and directly fulfilled the promise that the two had agreed.

"Husband, if you do this, some people in the family will not be convinced."

Liu Ruxin said with some concern.

"If you don't accept it, you have to accept it."

"Xiuying."

"The subordinates are here!"

Dou Xiuying ran over excitedly.

In these few confrontations against the enemy, she has not caught any good fighting opportunities, and she can't wait for a long time.

"You take a personal guard to escort Ruxin Niangzi to Liu's house."

"Let Ruxin Niangzi inherit the position of the head of the family."

"If the head of the Liu family is dissatisfied with anything, let him tell me."

"Subordinates obey!"

Dou Xiuying agreed, and only Liu Ruxin was embarrassed for two seconds before she spoke:

"The concubine is up to her husband."

Very good, since the Blood Demon Sect has targeted these female workers, there should be someone within the Liu family who cooperates, or there are some kind of clues.

Covering the heavens does not mean that there are no flaws.

Chu Qianqiu was ready to ambush and catch the tail of the Blood Demon Gate.
