Chapter 18: Hatred
town.
"Two, we currently have a total of forty-six people here, all here" The steward stood next to Qiao Xuan and Xi He with a smile on his face.
"They are all hard-working men and good workers," he rubbed his hands, wishing that the two people in front of him could choose more people to take away.
Qiao Xuan's eyes looked at the group of people sitting on the steps, "Besides him and him, the others will come to Taoyuan Village tomorrow." ”
"We have to build roads in our village, so if you have the tools, you can bring them."
The steward's joy is that there are forty-four people except for two people, and he can draw a lot of money by hiring so many people at once.
The two people who were eliminated in a joy had dark faces and glared at Qiao Xuan dissatisfied, why didn't they want them? She took everyone else in and confiscated them, wasn't this deliberately targeted?
"Fifty wen a day, daily salary, diligent and down-to-earth, not stealing and cheating."
Qiao Xuan said casually, without paying attention to the two cold eyes cast on him.
Xi He looked at the two people who had just been picked out by Qiao Xuan.
Both of them were dressed in coarse cloth, and their faces were gray, one with a rounder face, the other with a long and slender face, and they were unremarkable in the crowd, and they could not see any difference from the others at all.
However, Qiao Xuan did this, and he believed that there must be a reason for her.
"Don't worry, girl! They all know everything from me, and if anyone works to make you dissatisfied, just come to me," the steward was afraid that the money in his mouth would fly, and patted his chest and promised.
Qiao Xuan smiled heartily, his voice was crisp and pleasant, "I'm relieved to be in charge!" ”
After the person was confirmed, Qiao Xuan and Xi He were about to leave, but they were stopped by someone shouting, "Stop!" ”
When the steward saw that it was Wang Hu and Chen Er who were singled out, they hurriedly walked over and lowered their voices to warn: "What I do is that I have a lot of life, this time I can't do it and next time, you two don't make trouble for me!" ”
However, Wang Hu and Chen Er didn't take his warning seriously at all, and glared at Qiao Xuan with an unconvinced face, bound to ask for an explanation.
"Why do everyone else want us?" Wang Hu asked angrily after Qiao Xuan and Xi He turned around.
"Did you target us on purpose?" Chen Er took two steps forward with a fierce expression.
Qiao Xuan and Xi He glanced at each other, their chins raised slightly, "I'm an employer, I want whoever I want to work, what's your concern?" ”
Wang Hu choked with Chen Eryi, the boss with staring eyes, and the fists behind him were secretly clenched, and the yellow-haired girl actually humiliated them.
"Girl, don't be angry, both of them are honest people, but they are more stubborn and have no malicious intentions."
The steward glanced at Chen Er and Wang Hu, he didn't care about the two of them, he was worried that Qiao Xuan would be angry and the others would not want it.
Qiao Xuan smiled mockingly, looking at the steward's eyes with a deep meaning, "Honest man? ”
"You really don't have a good eye for people!"
The smile on the steward's face was a little unbearable, and he scratched his head, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Chen Er and Wang Hu gritted their teeth, feeling that they had been insulted and belittled, "Dead girl, don't even think about walking out of this courtyard gate if you don't make it clear today!" ”
"Our brothers are honest people, working diligently, doing things in a down-to-earth manner, and we have never been so humiliated."
The steward's eyes were horizontal, and he roared: "Chen Er, Wang Hu, shut up!" ”
Qiao Xuan stood at the door with her arms crossed, her little face was not half annoyed, and her expression was calm.
Xi He stared at Chen Er and Wang Hu with an unkind face, and stood next to Qiao Xuan in a protective attitude, "What do you want to do?" ”
"We just want an explanation! Yes, we need a reasonable explanation" Wang Hu couldn't help but feel nervous at Xi He's eyes, and Xi He, who had a tense face, had a sense of coercion.
"You should know for yourself what you have done, why do you need to ask me" Qiao Xuan pursed his lips, his tone full of disdain.
Chen Er and Wang Hu's expressions changed slightly, but they soon returned to their stubborn appearance of invulnerability.
Qiao Xuan saw that the two of them were going to pretend to be stupid and stunned to the end, and his eyebrows were dyed with coldness, "One kills his father and the other kills his mother, you are really like things." ”
Chen Er and Wang Hu's bodies stiffened, and their faces turned pale in an instant, but in just a moment, they hid their emotions and looked at Qiao Xuan with a gloomy expression.
"Dead girl, don't want to spew blood!"
The people around looked at each other, and the people from the same village as Chen Er and Wang Hu all had other thoughts in their hearts.
Chen Er's father was hanged last year and died at home, Chen Er was the only one in the family at that time, and the incompatibility between their father and son was a well-known thing, and now the people who were mentioned by Qiao Xuan felt that this matter was a little scary.
Wang Hu's mother accidentally fell into the river and drowned a month ago, and the first person to find out that she was drowned was Wang Hu, when the body was fished up there were multiple scars, Wang Hu's explanation was that his mother accidentally fell on the first day of digging wild vegetables in the mountains.
"Good will be rewarded with good, evil will be rewarded with evil, it's not that you don't repay it, but before the time comes, do you think that you can wipe out the evil you have created by deceiving others?"
Qiao Xuan's voice sounded, the words were clear, like an earth-shattering drum beating in the hearts of everyone present, "What you owe must be repaid after all!" Sooner or later. ”
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Chen Er and Wang Hu's faces, but their mouths were still very hard, "Cut!" Blood spews people, and gossipes to confuse the public. ”
"If you really have evidence, go to the government to sue us, pretend here, and talk nonsense."
"If you don't want us to work, we won't go, what's the big deal, the dog looks down on people, I'm bah!"
The appearance of the two of them speaking viciously fell in Qiao Xuan's eyes, but they were just incompetent and furious after being exposed to the ugliness, breaking the defense, which seemed very ridiculous.
Xi He looked at the steward and said meaningfully: "You are really courageous to dare to leave such a person here." ”
The steward's face was visibly flustered, and if what the girl said was true, then he ......
No way! He had to find a reason to send Chen Er and Wang Hu away, so as not to be burdened one day and lose his life.
After Qiao Xuan walked out of the courtyard with Xi He, Xi He asked, "Do you need to report to the official?" Those two—"
She said that he believed that the two of them had killed someone, and there was no doubt about it.
Qiao Xuan shook his head, "There is no evidence, and besides, the county master is not a reliable one, and the report to the official is just a toss in vain." ”
Xi He's face was condensed, and he hated it very much in his heart, the dog official was in charge, the fish and meat people, and the unjust case could not be revealed.
"Will you still study for exams in the future?" Qiao Xuan asked coldly, and Xi He was caught off guard.
Xi He stood in front of her dressed in white, with a red mole under his eyes as bright as a drop of blood, although he was not born rich and noble, his innate temperament made it impossible to ignore his demeanor.
