... And with the help of these "house thieves" who have not yet been discovered by Sheng Weiqiao, Sheng Suihe's clearing will be a matter of course: As soon as the two maids who came from afar saw him, they knelt down in fear and apologized, calling themselves the leader and handing over Wu Yiying's unique token answered several questions raised by Sheng Sleeping Crane. After verifying their identity, they immediately burst into tears and kowtowed, begging Sheng Sleeping Crane to forgive them for rashly coming to Chang'an.
Without waiting for Sheng Suihe to ask questions, he poured beans out of a bamboo tube and told the whole story: They were originally from the Zuojin clan of Chang'an, and by chance they lived on Tortoiseshell Island. Although they were lucky enough to be selected into the Wuyi camp and were not abused by others, they also I thought there was no hope of returning to my homeland in this life.
Unexpectedly, Xu Lianshan received a letter from Sheng Suihe asking for maids, and planned to select two women from Wuyi Camp to come to Chang'an. After they found out, they felt homesick and took the initiative to sign up, but... they were directly rejected by Xu Lianshan.
But they missed their families so much that they had the audacity to sneak out of Wuyi Camp and come to Chang'an without permission!
Speaking of this, the two maids burst into tears. One of them said: "I am the youngest daughter in the family. I have an old mother in her sixties and seventies, and young nieces and nephews. She was young, ignorant and greedy, and she was sold by a trafficker." He was deceived, and he is thousands of miles away, and he doesn’t know what is going on at home now... I beg the leader to be merciful, even if I have to die to apologize, let me take a look at my family from a distance before I die!"
Another said: "This slave is the only flesh and blood of my father and mother. My mother gave birth to this slave when she was nearly forty years old. Although her family background is only of average, she was still spoiled and spoiled. I didn't expect that my father suddenly died of illness when I was six or seven years old. My uncle was so ruthless that in order to seize the family property, he forcefully sold the slave... I don't know if the slave's own mother is still alive or not?"
Sheng Suihe had no expression on his face and was counting silently in his mind... Sure enough, he had just counted to ten, and Sheng Weiqiao next to him already looked unbearable. He leaned over slightly and whispered: "Brother, are they really telling the truth?"
I know that this good girl is soft or hard!
Sheng Suihe secretly smiled in his heart, but his face was stern and indifferent. The words "Determined to Kill" were written from head to toe. He said in a cold voice: "It doesn't matter if it's true or not! What's important is that they broke the rules! "
"Rules are dead, people are alive!" Although Sheng Weiqiao has been a bit exaggerated in the past two years following Xuan Yu Feng's family, he is not as simple and easy to deceive as before, but he is still easy to be soft-hearted in nature.
This is also common sense. She has always lived under the shadow of her parents and elders and has never experienced suffering in the world. She can't be as ruthless as Sheng Sleeping Crane just based on the advice of a few people without personal experience.
The most important thing is that the two maids in front of her do not threaten her or the people she cares about so far. Sheng Weiqiao has no hostility towards them. In this case, seeing them cry sincerely, sympathy and pity are natural. Having the upper hand, he couldn't help but help to intercede, "It's not easy for them. The good people from Gyeonggi actually lived in Nanfeng County. They have been separated from each other for so many years. If they don't remember, it's fine. Since they remember, where can they go?" Can you not worry about it? Although you came here without permission this time, brother, you are still in need of trustworthy maids to serve you. They are from the Wuyi Camp and are your direct lineage. Why don't you just make the mistake and punish it and then stay and serve? "
"How can this work?" Sheng Sleeping Crane pretended to be displeased, "As the saying goes, nothing can be achieved without rules! Just because Wuyi Camp is my direct lineage, I have high hopes for it, how can I allow the rules to be corrupted? Don't say it, just cultivate it They have put in a lot of effort, but if they are spared this time, others will follow suit in the future, and if things continue like this, won’t Wuyi Camp exist in name only?!”
He waved his hands coldly, "At most, for the sake of my dear little girl, if you can't bear it, leave them a whole body!"
The two maids kneeling below understood, and suddenly began to cry and plead sadly again, but they never mentioned Sheng Weiqiao, and every word they said was "begging for mercy from the leader."
Sheng Weiqiao looked at this situation and felt more and more intolerable, so he said: "Brother, look, they heard that you were going to execute them, but they didn't even ask me for help. It shows that they are really loyal to you! Such a subordinate will never disappoint you." Many. You also said that a lot of effort has been put into cultivating them. If we kill them now just to enforce the rules, it is too much and will achieve nothing! Why not be noble and spare their lives to atone for your sins? "
Afraid that Sheng Suihe would reject it again, she pressed the small button between the two of them, stood up, came close to his ear, and whispered, "Look, they are about the same age as me. Didn't you say that you love me the most?" Already? Just think that love and trouble are the end of the world?"
Sheng Suihe felt her warm breath mixed with wisps of light but refreshing fragrance on his neck. His mind wandered and he almost blurted out his agreement!
Fortunately, he came back to his senses in time before the words were spoken, and secretly reminded himself that in order to prevent Sheng Weiqiao from reacting and realizing something was wrong in the future, this scene must have a beginning and an end, and it must not fall short!
So he remained expressionless and said softly: "My dear girl, of course I feel sorry for you. But the world is so big and there are so many girls your age. If every girl who is about the same age as you, I want to love both the house and the bird... I don’t want to do anything else in this life! Besides, I really can’t think of such a philanthropic thought!"
After expressing his loyalty in a roundabout way, he was disappointed to find that Sheng Weiqiao was so focused on interceding with the two maids that he didn't even notice.
Sheng Suihe was depressed for a moment, and then continued: "Anyway, this is an internal matter within Wuyi Camp, good girl, don't worry about it... I'm afraid you won't be suitable to watch the scene later, so go back to your room, good boy!"
Sheng Weiqiao only said that if he left on the front foot, the two maids on the back foot would be executed, so how could he leave
At the moment, he didn't care that Lu Jin and Jin Li were on the side. He grabbed his arm and shook him: "What about the internal affairs of Wuyi Camp? I know that you have the final say in Wuyi Camp now! As long as If you are willing to let them go, who dares to talk? Even if your subordinates are dissatisfied, just say it and don't bother me. Anyway, I see that among your subordinates, including Ah Xi, nine and a half out of ten regard me as a human being. A spoiled, willful and unruly young lady! If you say that, they will definitely believe it! With daddy here with you, I don’t believe they can still come to me and argue with me?!”
"Even if someone does come to me to argue, just let them come! Am I still afraid?!"
She looked at Sheng Sleeping He with her big apricot eyes and said sweetly, "So, brother, you agreed to me! You are my half-brother, and you have always loved me the most. For such a small thing, Are you too embarrassed not to nod your head?! Or are you lying to me when you say you love me??"
Sheng Suihe Xin said, "Good girl, nine and a half out of ten of my subordinates, including Ah Xi, don't regard you as a spoiled, willful and unruly young lady, but because you are already spoiled, willful and unruly, okay?" !
He was very happy now. After all, it was rare for Sheng Weiqiao to have such peaceful and active physical contact with him, even though it was just holding arms, but!
Compared to the previous ones, he stepped on his insteps and crushed them harder, raised his legs and kicked them, rolled up his sleeves and beat them with his hands, twisted his ears, grabbed the soft flesh and twisted it forward and backward, and pinched out bloody fingernail marks on his arms and the backs of his hands... Sheng Suihe felt that at this moment I should be satisfied!
So he said happily: "No!"
Well, of course not!
When he got help from Lu Qi and the others, Sheng Suihe thought quickly and felt that the two maids sent by Tortoiseshell Island should stay.
After all, as he said just now, Wuyiying spent a lot of effort cultivating these two maids.
As the only source of Sheng Sleeping He's current direct lineage, although Wuyi Camp is famous in the sea area of Nanfeng County, it is only a trump card for local pirates, and its scale is limited.
This was before, ever since Gongsun Su gave it to Sheng Sleeping Crane, it was like becoming independent from Hawksbill Island.
The advantage of this is that Sheng Suihe has a family business that he can fully decide on. The disadvantage is that Gongsun's support for Wuyiying will definitely not be the same as before.
Although Sheng Lanci gave a lot of financial support to win over Sheng Sleeping He, the most important personnel arrangements, as well as the selection and cultivation of members, still need to be taken care of by Sheng Sleeping He himself.
This is not only because Sheng Lanci has his own Sheng family to take care of, and it is impossible to spend a lot of energy to help him manage the Wuyi camp, but also because Sheng Suihe is not a real bloodline of the Sheng family after all, although he has been with the Sheng family so far. Sheng Lanci worked very happily together. It was impossible for the two of them to trust each other enough to be absolutely honest.
Therefore, he could not trust Wuyi Camp to be handed over to Sheng Lanci, or to someone other than his confidants.
And he has been the eldest son of the Sheng Mansion for the past two years. After all, remote command is not as convenient as being present in person.
In this case, it is not only to prevent things from getting out of control; but also to consider that I will clear my name and embark on an upright official career from now on, and I am afraid that any clues will be dropped and become a stumbling block in the future.
Therefore, the selection of Wuyi Camp personnel is currently limited to Hawksbill Island. Those who are willing to join the island are selected and cultivated and recruited through assessment and screening.
Having said so much, it is actually just one sentence: Wuyi Camp is currently not large in scale, and every person in it is very precious to Sheng Sleeping Crane and cannot be wasted casually!
To put it bluntly, even if Sheng Suihe really wants these two maids to die, he still has to make a careful calculation. Is their death worth the cultivation and investment Wuyi Camp has put in them
Therefore, no matter what kind of twists and turns the two maids have here, as long as their reliability and ability are good, well, the most important thing is that Sheng Weiqiao will not doubt that they have anything to do with him, and Sheng Suihe will decide to keep his servants. of.
In order to avoid the most important situation, it is best to stay in the process under Sheng Weiqiao's strenuous request. He was "very reluctant" and "actually no more than Sheng Weiqiao's little ancestor", so he nodded "reluctantly".
Only by doing this, people may still have doubts about those who help them, but they often have compassion and kindness for those they have helped, and thus have some sympathy and understanding unconsciously. In other words, Sheng Weiqiao tried every means to save them, and Sheng Weiqiao will continue to protect them unknowingly in the future. In this way, as long as he keeps the distance between himself and these two maids as a master and servant should, Sheng Weiqiao will not easily doubt their relationship. relationship;
Secondly, Sheng Weiqiao has been showing signs of getting smarter and more difficult to deal with recently!
For example, today he was forced into desperate situations several times, especially the time before lunch. If Sheng Suihe hadn't habitually established a tolerant and honest image in front of others, he had accidentally gained allies like Lu Qi. , I fell down directly!
What if this girl falls into the trap now, wakes up in two days, and asks him to reason... Then he can refuse to admit it, so as not to be thought that these two maids have any intentions!
Due to the above considerations, even though Sheng Suihe wanted to just agree and forget it, he still said with a cold face, "It's because I love you that I won't let you act like this! I'm telling you …”
Before he finished speaking, his previous slander came true: the pampered Sheng Weiqiao had very little experience of being rejected, especially when she turned on the coquettish mode. In the past, she was always unfavorable!
I was rejected unexpectedly, but I was rejected twice in a row! ! !
The girl thinks this is absolutely intolerable!
