Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

From the bottom of her heart, Nan Xi naturally didn't want her people to serve this ungrateful person in vain.

But if so many people suddenly "go on strike", the daily life of the Zhao Mansion will come to a halt immediately, which may cause a big commotion and attract the emperor's attention.

Forget it, anyway, all the money spent in the mansion right now is hers, so this little bit doesn’t matter.

At worst, she could just move faster, tear down the Zhao Mansion as soon as possible, and kill these ungrateful people.

Thinking about what she said, "Everyone has his or her own responsibilities. Do your part first, and don't do anything unnecessary or that you shouldn't do."

"If someone bullies you or wants to punish you, just come to me and I will take care of it for you."

"We understand, thank you Madam!"

There were scattered thanks from the audience.

"Also, from now on, you can all call me 'Miss' - remember, I will always be your Miss."

Because of the scumbag Zhao Wenxuan, Nan Xi felt disgusted with the title of "Madam"!

"Yes! Miss!"

This time the answer was loud and clear.

Nan Xi nodded with satisfaction.

"——Now, let's talk about another thing." Nan Xi's voice suddenly turned cold:

"I have been married into the Zhao family for two years. It was my fault for asking you to obey other people's orders in the past. However, I believe you also know who holds your indentures. Your master is always me and the General's Mansion."

"I'm giving you a chance now. If you have already defected to another master and betrayed your master, please stand up and explain yourself now. I will let bygones be bygones."

These words were blunt and sharp, and everyone suddenly became nervous.

Some people turned pale, some were trembling all over, some acted as if nothing had happened, some looked up, and some lowered their heads and dug their teeth into the ground, but no one stood up and confessed.

After all, they all thought they were being very discreet: there was no way the young lady would know. She was just trying to trick them, and he (she) wouldn't fall for it.

However, before those who thought so could have a chance to get away with it, Nan Xi raised her arm and pointed at everyone with her slender hands: "You, you, you..." She pointed at seven or eight people in one breath.

Then he called the captain of the guards: "Li Guanghai..."

"I'm here!" A tall man with a long scar on his face immediately stood up.

"Drag these people away and beat them to death with sticks, right here in the yard."

"Yes, Miss!"

Li Guanghai said nothing, but waved his hand, and immediately a group of murderous men rushed up, each of them tall and strong.

In an instant, the two of them held one up, pinned him down as easily as if he were a chick, and began the execution.

These men were the guards assigned to the original owner by General Nan. Including Li Guanghai, they were all 17 soldiers and generals who had retired from the battlefield. They all had some problems and were not suitable for fighting again, but they were more than enough to protect a woman in a large mansion.

General Nan made this arrangement to protect the original owner and to provide a place for the wounded soldiers to stay. Therefore, these people were loyal to the general's mansion.

But the original owner was afraid that Zhao Wenxuan would be suspicious, so she almost never gave them any orders. Fortunately, Zhao Wenxuan and his mother were afraid of these people, especially Li Guanghai's murderous aura, and never dared to provoke this guard team, let alone give them any orders.

"Pa! Pa! Pa!..." The sound of hitting the board soon rang out, and blood soon appeared on the board.

"Ah! Miss! Miss, I'm innocent. I didn't do anything..."

"Nan Xi, you idiot! Why did you hit me? I'm going to tell the general that you're abusing lynching..."

"It hurts, ah, it hurts! It hurts so much... Don't hit me, Miss, I was wrong... I won't do it again... Miss, please spare my life..."

Some of these people were crying out for justice, some were begging for mercy, some were cursing, and some were threatening... For a moment, a chaotic array of sounds rose and fell, and blood formed a small river on the ground and seeped into the cracks in the bluestone slabs.

The rest of the people were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and the timid ones had already collapsed to the ground, shaking all over.

Nan Xi didn't call for a halt, and the guards continued to beat her without mercy. These were the people Nan Xi had detected with her mental power, the ones who had the deepest malice towards her.

Among them were two people who had taken refuge with Zhao Wenxuan and had burned the original owner's body and thrown the ashes into the market in their previous life.

Although Shishu and Shimo have always followed Zhao Wenxuan, they are just ordinary servants who help Zhao Wenxuan purchase things outside. They have limited courage and dare not participate in some things at all.

Instead, some of the people brought by the original owner felt that there was no future in following the original owner and turned to Zhao Wenxuan. In the end, they became Zhao Wenxuan's confidants.

In the previous life, these people looked down on the original owner, especially after the General's Mansion collapsed, more people blatantly defected to Zhao Wenxuan and turned against her, their master.

Nan Xi was too lazy to interrogate these people, nor would she continue to use them, nor would she send them back to the General's Mansion to become a hidden danger, so she simply beat them to death.

After all, the original owner wanted revenge, and she gave them a chance, didn't she?

Of course, this opportunity does not include those two people.

After a while, all the sounds in the yard disappeared, leaving only the "pa! pa! pa" sound of the board hitting flesh.

After fighting for a while, Nan Xi called for a stop.

Nan Xi used her mental power to check and found no signs of life. She waved her hand and asked the guards to drag these people away from the back door and throw all the bodies into the mass grave to feed the wolves.

The others were already trembling with fear, some were crying, and several people knelt down one after another.

Most of these people didn't do it themselves, but knew about it but didn't tell the original owner. Strictly speaking, this can also be considered betrayal.

Among them was the handsome and likable servant who had just spoken, who was also kneeling inside.

He actually knew more than anyone else, and at this moment he was even more nervous, fearing that the eldest lady would be unhappy and beat him to death.

He has an elderly mother and brothers and sisters at home, and he can't bear to leave them...

Nan Xi said, "I'm sure you all know what those people did just now. It doesn't matter if you don't know. I just want to tell you that just because I didn't deal with the traitors in the past doesn't mean I will tolerate them."

"——Not only can I not tolerate you, I believe that even if you leave this mansion, no master will tolerate you."

"I will give you another chance today. If anyone still has other thoughts, then you can no longer stay in this mansion, let alone return to the general's mansion. I will return your indentures and give each of you ten taels of silver, which will complete our master-servant relationship."

Although System 999 was dormant, it was actually aware of what was happening in the outside world. At this moment, I couldn't help but jump out of my consciousness and ask:

[It's such a shame to send them away. Why doesn't the host give each of them a loyalty pill? There are plenty of them here anyway.]

Nan Xi: "I still think it's more of a pity because they used up the pills."

No matter how many pills there are, there is a limit to them. There will be many places where people will be needed in the future. After all, she doesn't know how to make pills now. Who knows if she can travel to the world of immortal cultivation and when she can make these pills by herself.

Feeling that Jiujiujiu was still confused, Nan Xi explained in her mind:

"The General's Mansion doesn't have much else, but it has a lot of servants. You should know that the General's Mansion has always been kind to people and has never had the habit of beating or killing servants or chasing them away. As for the children born in the family, there are quite a few accumulated over several generations."

"Besides, the general's mansion is now declining in population, with few masters and many servants, most of whom are idle and have nothing to do. Why should we keep these unwilling people?"

"Also, there are too many servants from the General's Mansion in this mansion. If anything happens, it will easily implicate the General's Mansion. They will have to be evacuated sooner or later. This is just the beginning."

[…Then, Master Host. Did you deliberately transfer Aunt Xu away?] Jiujiujiu finally asked the question he had been holding back for a long time.
