I don't know who shouted, "Mrs. Gu is back!"

The crowd dispersed immediately, leaving a way for the Gu family's carriage to enter, but there were too many people watching, and the small alley was crowded with people, and even her carriage could not enter, so Li Baolu simply got out of the carriage and walked away go in.

She just crossed the crowd and saw the people who were tied up and thrown on the ground. At a glance, there were about 40 or 50 people. Li Baolu was slightly taken aback. She didn't expect that she had so many servants.

The boss grinned when he saw her, and said, "Ma'am, these slaves are really daring. They all own fields and houses, and they are richer than your master."

The old lady who was sitting on the ground and pulling her son who was in charge suddenly raised her head when she heard the words, and shot Li Baolu with her gaze like a knife. She was about to repeat the old tune with her "old face" when she was preached by her son. Cover your mouth.

The steward shook his lips. In just two days, he had already figured out his wife's temper. If she didn't provoke her, she would usually not target someone in particular. People care about it, but if they are in a bad mood, they will lose their skin even if they don't die.

His old lady, he knows, she has always been proud of serving the three generations of the Gu family, and she is domineering in the Zhuangzi. The wife is not one of those farmers who dare not speak up. He can't afford the consequences, but the wife said, absolutely not Sell ​​them, but lend them out to do whatever work they are dirty or tired, not to make money, but to train them.

People are knives and I am fish, he dare not let his mother speak.

The steward glared secretly at the five stupid people. These five people must have done it on purpose. They didn't tie up his mother on purpose, and let his mother offend his wife on purpose.

Seeing that the old lady was covering her mouth, Li Baolu was whining in vain, so she only glanced at her lightly before looking at the other people who were tied up.

The old lady had never been so neglected before, she rolled her eyes in anger, and fainted.

The boss looked at it and felt sorry, the steward was so sensible that he didn't let his mother offend Li Baolu.

He really did it on purpose. This time he first went to Baoding to search for five houses, and when he returned to the suburbs of Beijing, he searched for another house. There were six families in total, but the most difficult thing to deal with was the old lady who made him angry the most. If it wasn't for his scruples Li Baolu, he had already slapped him unconscious.

But he didn't suffer, her house was ransacked most thoroughly, not even a mouse was left for them.

Moreover, he knew that Li Baolu was not easy to get along with, so he deliberately didn't tie up the old lady, making her think that they were afraid of her identity, so that she would be more noisy when she was in front of Li Baolu.

It will be fun to watch it then, but unfortunately, she is noisy, but her son is sober.

The boss was very sorry in his heart, but he reported calmly on his face: "I put all the things I copied in the yard. In addition to the ready-made gold and silver, there are also some silver bills, but the most valuable are the land deed and house deed. The land deeds obtained cover six hectares and sixty-five acres, and there are three land deeds in total." He looked at the six stewards with ashen faces with a half-smile and said, "Two of them are in Baoding, and one is in the capital."

The onlookers were in an uproar, six ares!

One hectare is 100 mu, and 665 mu of land can be a big landlord. This is a group of servants.

The eyes of everyone looking at the nine stewards have changed. No wonder, no wonder the little wife of the Gu family would copy the slave's house regardless of face, and they have embezzled so much.

More than 600 mu of land is nothing to a family like the Zhongyonghou Mansion. It is just three or four thousand taels of silver. If you lose a few taels a month, the slaves will be able to buy this property in ten years or so.

But for ordinary people, this is a big industry!

They struggled for a big property that might not last for three lifetimes. People who thought that Li Baolu was making a fuss instantly understood her, and became sympathetic with her.

Only these stewards and Li Baolu still remember one thing, these properties were greedy and loyal to the Yonghou Mansion, and Li Baolu hadn't got any property at that time.

However, she was not guilty at all, because they cheated her of nearly two thousand silver in the Dechang bank.

Hmph, if you mess with her, you have to pay the price.

"Throwing people into the yard, what is it like to pile up in the alley like this? Neighbors still have to come and go."

The boss immediately winked at his brothers, and the four of them immediately picked up someone and threw them into the yard, which was also full of things, all of which were copied.

The boss took out a bunch of land deeds, "Here are all the copies."

He took out three house deeds and said with a smile: "This house deed and land deed are well hidden, but it's a pity that we still can't hide it from our eyes."

When it comes to finding things, who can compare to them?

"There are too many people," Li Baolu said distressedly, "I can't accommodate these many people here."

"Sell it."

Li Baolu shook her head, "Not for sale, at least not for now."

Now she sells people in front of her, and someone buys them back. No matter whether the person who bought them is someone else or themselves, they will not be able to deter the servants afterwards. The only way is to let them continue to be under her control and let them live. In the hard times of the last period, let everyone see the fate of betraying the master, so that they can be deterred.

Li Baolu said: "If it doesn't work, let some people go back to the village first."

The boss shrugged, this is Li Baolu's business, he only cares about the distribution of the spoils, no, it's about the distribution of the proceeds, he asked with bright eyes, "When will we distribute the money?"

"Now divide, divide the existing ones first, and sell the rest that can be sold, and I will convert the unsold ones into silver for you."

The boss was happy and shouted, and his four brothers immediately surrounded him.

Li Baolu was not afraid of being surrounded by five big men, so she asked Heart to go back and bring back the previous accounts and abacus, and started counting the money in a snap.

The nine stewards have managed the store and Zhuangzi for more than ten years. They are obviously successful people, so after maintaining a good standard of living, they began to collect wealth in a planned and purposeful manner.

This directly benefited Li Baolu and the boss.

The wealth accumulated by the nine people does not include the jewellery, cloth, hard-to-valuate furniture, collections, etc., only gold and silver, silver notes, houses and fields are worth more than 38,000 taels.

According to the thirty-seven points, only this part of the bosses can get more than eleven thousand, which is much more money and easier than robbery and theft.

Not only do they have to step on the spot and plan carefully, but they also have to risk their lives to make a vote. In the end, they have to change places or hide. The risks are great, and the benefits may not be much.

Unlike this time, he was aboveboard, not only comfortable in his heart, but also highly profitable. The boss almost had the urge to wash his hands.

He was just thinking, but they poked the boss's waist and said in a low voice: "Boss, let's ask for a house in the capital from the woman, and we will settle down here too."

The boss' eyebrows and eyes twitched, and the second child squeezed up and added: "It's better to ask for more land. Let's rent it out and lie down and collect the rent."

The four younger brothers looked at him eagerly.

Boss: "..."

Li Baolu: ...She heard everything, and if she is capable of whispering, go outside.

However, Li Baolu looked up at the five people, facing the solemn old Daoist: "I know that being a thief is not necessarily a bad person, but he is definitely not a good person. I see that you are getting older, do you still want to do this for the rest of your life?" Is it? If you want to settle down, I can't do anything else, this convenience is still possible."

Because of Master, Li Baolu would not treat the thieves of this era as complete bad guys. Although these five people had evil spirits on them, they were not hostile, and their eyes were clear. Obviously, being a thief is not that bad. That's why Li Baolu was willing to give them two thousand taels of silver bills at the beginning. Before that, she was willing to find their partner to raid the house, but now she is willing to help them.

It's just because they're not too bad.

As soon as Li Baolu said this, the eyes of the four younger brothers became even hotter, and they all looked at the boss eagerly.

Even the boss of a gangster who has gone through wind and rain and changed his color before Mount Tai collapsed couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

However, he seriously considered Li Baolu's suggestion.

Thinking about it carefully, although they stole and robbed, they did not kill anyone, and the ones they robbed were not considered good people. In addition, the range of activities in the past was mostly in the south, so they settled in the capital...

The boss was also moved, but he didn't make a decision right away, but said in a deep voice: "It's important, let me think about it." After a pause, the boss said again: "My surname is Chen, if the heroine doesn't mind Call me Lao Chen."

Because the two parties held the idea of ​​breaking up with one vote, they never exchanged names. Now that the two parties have a good impression, they can easily find out Li Baolu's name. To be fair, it is better to declare a surname.

Because the boss didn't make up his mind, he didn't take the money and led the younger brothers back directly.

Back at the place they rented, the big fool asked in confusion, "Boss, when did you change your ancestors? Isn't your surname Wang?"

"Shut up!" The boss slapped him on the head angrily: "If we don't say it, who knows? Don't you want to be a good man? Then you can no longer ask for your previous name. My mother's name is Chen, so there is nothing wrong with my surname. You should hurry up Also think of a name for yourself, when the time comes, we will pretend to be refugees and go to the Yamen to settle down."

The faces of the younger brothers lit up, and they said excitedly: "Brother, do you agree?"

The boss sighed and said, "I can't agree to it, you're all at a loss, wouldn't it put your life on the line if you start this business again?"

The four younger brothers giggled silly.

The boss glared at them bitterly, snorted coldly and left.

Since you want to wash your hands in a golden basin, you have to do it cleanly, at least not let the troubles from the past come to you.

The big fool laughed for a while, and then shouted: "Brother, don't go, we have no money, what are we going to eat today?"

As soon as the idiots left, Li Baolu asked people to close the gate of the courtyard, and then looked at the people in the courtyard in a daze. There were too many people and few positions, how should she arrange it?

The nine stewards were apprehensive, they lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound, for fear that Li Baolu would take his anger out on them.

Li Baolu went home for lunch before Gu Jingyun got entangled. Seeing her distress, she smiled and said, "Leave the nine stewards and their adult men to me, and you can arrange the rest."

Li Baolu was curious: "What do you want them for?"

"I found a job for them with my senior brother. Although the salary is not high, it includes food and housing. Let them hone for a few months, so they can calm their temper."

Li Baolu had no objection immediately, "Okay, take it away."

After speaking, he asked sympathetically, "Is brother still in the mine?"

Gu Jingyun nodded with a smile.

Li Baolu's sympathy for Wei Cong was like a rushing river, and it couldn't be stopped.
