Since there is space, it is naturally the best to buy it for 0 yuan

Later, most of the relief money was embezzled or withheld, so many people still starved to death. When the government accidentally found out about this, he was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.

As a result, before a thorough investigation could begin, the magistrate's family died, and it was said that they committed suicide out of fear of punishment. The government later sent people to investigate, but they did not do a thorough job and found nothing.

"Have you found out everything this time?" Shen Ruyi asked.

"Yes, this time someone anonymously provided the corruption booklet from that year, proving that the magistrate's family was directly exterminated because they knew too much and were unwilling to go along with the corruption.

There was no one left in the house. According to people who witnessed the incident, the magistrate’s wife and her seven-month-old baby were stabbed directly through the body with a knife. It was extremely cruel. After the killing, they were afraid that it was not safe, so they set a big fire and burned the house to ashes.

"Have all those imperial envoys been sent to prison?"

"Yes, not only the imperial envoy, but also the prefect and deputy prefect were involved. They were all implicated and sentenced to immediate execution."

"Yeah, I get it. I'll give it a try. Do you have anyone you want to take with you? Someone who's loyal and reliable?"

"Can I take it, Master?"

"Okay. But the people you bring must be loyal. We are an ordinary family, and we don't have any big requirements in terms of rules. Just do your duty and don't betray your family. Otherwise, if I take action, they will either die or be injured."

As for whether they are loyal or not, it is impossible to tell in one or two times. It depends on the result of the final adjustment between the two parties.

In fact, Shen Ruyi didn't have high requirements for this. As long as the person she bought had a good heart and was not born a bad person, it would be fine.

As for loyalty to the master, Shen Ruyi has always felt that this is a false proposition.

What is loyalty? Why should people be loyal?

If the master is strong, the people below him will be loyal and obedient. People tend to admire the strong.

If the master is not strong and cannot support himself, it is useless to say anything. It is normal for the servants to bully their masters.

To put it bluntly, both sides are just taking what they need. These people want to live, and Shen Ruyi needs manpower.

Others are doing the work and she is providing food, lodging and remuneration. It is a reasonable, legitimate and legal transaction.

This transaction is like the two ends of a scale. Whether it can maintain long-term balance and stability ultimately depends on whether the input and output of both parties are equal and consistent.

If any problems or hidden dangers are found in the future, those that should be sold should be sold, those that should be punished should be punished, and those that should be killed should be killed.

With the indenture, even if they want to do something, they have to think carefully.

Li Qi said, "That's no problem. They will definitely be loyal. These people are very capable and upright."

"Sure, go and bring them all here. Take this silver and take them to a place to take a shower and change clothes. I'll also say hello to the Wang Ya people."

Shen Ruyi handed over a gold ingot. Anyway, he was choosing people based on his feelings, so it didn't matter who he chose.

If you find problems later, just get rid of the people with the problems.

"Okay, master," Li Qi took the silver.

"Go out and call the Wang Ya people first, and ask them to come in. Then bring your people over."

"Ok."

After Wang Yaren came in, Shen Ruyi said, "Wang Yaren, I want the person you recommended, and the people he wants to take away. Let him bring the people over first and you count them. Then let them wash and clean up first, and I will settle the bill last."

"No problem, Boss."

"I heard from Li Qi that there is a little girl with very strong martial arts skills?"

"Boss, this is the person I want to recommend to you. Her name is Yiren."

"Is it the so-called Yi Ren, the Yi Ren in the other side of the water, or?"

"Yes, it's this Yiren."

"It sounds like a fake name."

"I also think it's a fake name. Anyway, this is the name registered with us. This person has a very cold temper and doesn't talk to anyone. In the past few days, several families wanted her, but she didn't agree. It seems like she is waiting for someone.

We didn't dare to urge her, mainly because we couldn't resist her cold eyes. So we just let her do whatever she wanted.

Whether you can ask this great man to leave depends on you. I can’t help you, and the key is that I don’t dare to do it.

The day before yesterday, a man insisted on taking her away by force, and she replied, "If you take her home by force, aren't you afraid that she will chop him up with a knife?" The man was so scared that he dared not mention it again and went home early. "

"Yeah, got it. Invite her over first, and we'll talk. Just tell her that I won't force her, I just want to meet her and talk to her, and ask her to give me a chance."

"Okay, little master."

After waiting for a while, a tall and heroic girl walked in slowly, holding a sword. When she saw Shen Ruyi, she asked directly, "Kid, are you looking for me? What's the matter?"

"Hello, sister. Please sit down. Now that you are here, let's chat for a while. Meeting is fate, which means we are destined to be together." Shen Ruyi stood up and gestured with her hand.

"Smooth talker." Probably because he liked Shen Ruyi, he sat down while saying this.

Wang Yaren served the two of them a cup of tea and then quickly slipped away.

These two are both great masters, and a small fry like him cannot get involved, so he has to retreat quickly.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"Of course I want to invite my sister back to my house?"

"I have other things to do. I am busy. I don't have time to play with a kid like you."

"No, no, no, sister, I'm not joking. I have something important to do. The key is that I have an enemy, a big enemy. I'm currently busy taking revenge on him."

Yiren originally wanted to reply, "You're just a little kid, but you have enemies and want to take revenge. What nonsense are you talking about?"

Suddenly I thought of myself again and changed the words I wanted to say to, "Really?"

"Yes, my enemy is in a high position and has great power. He is worried that his safety will be in jeopardy and he wants to take revenge more smoothly, so he wants to find a martial arts master to protect him."

"Oh, then I may not be suitable. I do have something to do. But since you look like a pretty good kid, I can introduce you to someone who is also quite skilled.

However, he won't stay long, but he can help you train your guards and stuff. He likes delicious food, beautiful clothes, and he also likes to enjoy himself."

"Let's talk about the person you introduced to me later. I still want you to come home with me, and I like you very much.

Otherwise, tell me what you want to do, maybe I can help. If you need money, just tell me, we have plenty of it!"

Shen Ruyi had already regarded the money in Yang Shangshu's mansion as hers, and said in a arrogant tone.

I have to coax this sister back home and let her be my master. She feels too insecure.

I must put martial arts training on the agenda. I currently have no other channels or connections to meet other powerful masters.

The person in front of me is particularly pleasing to the eye. I must seize this opportunity and take him home first, after all, experts are rare.

If you miss this village, you will miss this store.

People with well-developed limbs generally have average intelligence.

Shen Ruyi would rather deal with warriors than with highly intelligent scholars.

After all, those who are righteous are mostly butchers, and those who are cruel are mostly scholars.

A warrior's cruelty is mostly on the surface, and is more reflected in his skills and strength.

The ruthlessness of highly intelligent intellectuals is in their bones, and is mostly reflected in their hearts.

And once they have bad intentions, it is even more difficult to deal with them.

Yiren was amused by the child's arrogant tone, which showed that he had no shortage of money, and she also felt the child's sincerity.

But she still had revenge to take, and this was a dangerous job, so she refused. "I am also seeking revenge, but my revenge cannot be solved with money. But thank you anyway, kid."

"Sister, now that we have started talking, why don't we get a little deeper. Sister, are your enemies from the same faction as Minister Yang's Mansion?" Shen Ruyi asked treacherously.

"How did you know?"

Then he probed, "I guessed it. And my enemy is also Yang Shangshu Mansion. Our goals are the same. Are you the only one who survived the county magistrate's family that was exterminated in Shu?"

Yiren shot a sharp look at her, as if she would stab Shen Ruyi to death with a sword in the next moment, and her scalp went numb under her stare.

If her mental age wasn't much older than her actual age, this look would be unbearable.

I finally understood what Wang Yaren just said about not daring to provoke.

Shen Ruyi quickly replied: "Sister, don't worry, I really have no ill will towards you."

"If you really had ill intentions towards me, you would be a corpse by now."

"Sister, you are right. Don't be impatient. Listen to me. My name is Shen Ruyi, and I am the daughter of Shen Huai, the official of the Ministry of Personnel.

My mother was the daughter of the Li family, a wealthy merchant family in Jiangnan. Later, Shen Huai had an affair with Yang Lishu, the concubine of Yang Shangshu's mansion, and they conspired to murder his wife and children to take the throne.

At that time, Yang Shangshufu was an insider and made a lot of efforts. I am still alive today, not because of their kindness, but because I am still useful. So, I said, our goals are the same.
