In the years of famine, the knife in my mother's hand is not bad either

This is a voice that is neither humble nor arrogant.

Wang Qingliu's face turned purple.

Anger burned in my heart, and I shouted harshly:

"You're a bitch!"

"How dare you, a lowly servant sent to my house, speak to me, the eldest son of my family, in such a way?"

"Is mother too kind to you?"

Facing the scolding from the eldest son Wang Qingliu, the maidservant in front of him remained neither humble nor arrogant, and replied to Wang Qingliu who was sticking his head out of the carriage:

"Please, young master, please show your sleeves and make sure you don't have any valuables with you!"

The movement here naturally attracted people around to watch.

When they heard that Wang Qingliu was required to demonstrate that he had no valuables with him, they all looked surprised.

The maidservant is responsible for ensuring that the property of the master's family is not lost, but now she is taking charge of the eldest son?

This scene is rare to see.

"A mere maidservant, how dare you question us, the Qingliu?"

"Hold your position! Wang Qingliu, beat him up! Wang Shenshi treats these maids too well, how dare they speak to their master like that!"

"So what if he took the money? This is the Wang family's property. Can't the eldest son take it?"

"..."

It was obvious that all the onlookers were on Wang Qingliu's side, but he himself felt guilty.

I didn't do what the people who were making trouble shouted.

He just retracted his head.

Unwilling to face the public's gaze.

After taking the gold ingots out of his sleeves and throwing them all back into the box.

A look of despair.

After stepping out of the carriage again, he took off his coat generously and showed it to the maid who was kneeling in front of him.

This maid actually checked it carefully.

His eyes scanned all over his body.

This made him feel even more depressed.

"Have you seen it?" Wang Qingliu shouted at the maid.

The maid lowered her head and nodded.

Then there was a loud 'slap' and the sound of a slap exploded.

The maid felt the numbness on her face.

Without blinking.

Still maintaining the same stubborn attitude as before.

After putting on his clothes, Wang Qingliu jumped out of the car.

Walk to the side.

Stand on the grass with your back turned.

If people saw him, they would think he was peeing, so naturally no one would come over.

Half an hour later.

The maid driving the carriage discovered that the eldest son Wang Qingliu had not returned yet.

My heart trembled: As expected... the eldest son had planned to take the property from home and leave.

I stopped myself.

Now half an hour has passed. Should we report what just happened to the Lord?

What if the eldest son suddenly appears and comes back, what should we do if the master blames us?

It dragged on for an hour.

The maid driving the carriage finally couldn't bear it any longer, jumped off the carriage, and shouted to the footman beside her:

"Watch the carriage!"

"I'm going to report some things to the Lord!"

The maid driving the carriage finished speaking and watched as the footman beside her took the reins and ran straight ahead.

Arriving outside Shen Qian's carriage, he reported softly:

"Lord!"

"The eldest son attempted to leave with his belongings an hour ago. After three unsuccessful attempts to dissuade him, he removed his clothes, made sure he had no valuables, and then left the group. It has been an hour since he returned."

"Please let the Lord decide."

Shen Qian, who was sitting in the carriage, was slightly stunned after hearing the maid's words.

It was just as I guessed.

This boss must have reached some secret cooperation with the kidnappers.

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid we have to take over Ziyun County!

Thinking of this, Shen Qian's eyes lit up and she said to the maid:

"So, he hit you?"

Facing Shen Qian's question, the maid was neither humble nor arrogant:

"Serve the Lord faithfully."

"Take it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Qian threw out a 50-liang gold ingot from the car window.

After receiving the gold, not only the maidservant, but also the soldiers around were all stunned.

A huge reward! Absolutely a huge reward!

Although the soldiers had been rewarded for their contributions before, it was only five taels of silver.

Today I rewarded the maidservant with fifty taels of gold just because she was slapped.

If I get injured while fighting for my master in the future, I probably won't have to worry about the rest of my life.

Thinking of this, the faces of the soldiers and scouts showed strong enthusiasm and anticipation.

Full of fighting spirit.

"Call the village chief." Shen Qian ordered the scout beside her.

The scout received the order and responded immediately:

"promise!"

Outside Shen Qian's carriage, the maid holding fifty taels of gold stood there in a daze.

When she came to her senses, she had returned to the vicinity of the carriage she was driving.

Sitting in the front of the carriage, he took over the driving reins again and looked at the glimmer of hope flashing in the golden eyes.

The master is very generous. If there is a chance to release the slaves in the future, I can also buy some property and get married and start a family.

Thinking of this, she raised her head again and looked towards the back of her master's carriage, feeling deeply grateful.

The villagers who knew about this whispered:

"Mrs. Wang Shen is so generous! She gave me fifty taels of gold right away!"

"I heard that the exchange rate for gold and silver is at least twenty taels for one tael! That's over a thousand taels of silver!"

"Hiss! All the wealth of six or seven of us families was just given away so easily by Wang Shenshi?"

"..."

Village chief Wang Dakuo heard the scout's call and walked towards Shen Qian's carriage.

Standing beside the carriage and moving forward with it, he asked:

"Mrs. Wang Shen, why are you calling me here so urgently?"

Facing Wang Dakuo's question, Shen Qian said something in a cold voice that shocked everyone:

"Remove Wang Qingliu from the family tree!"

"What!" Wang Dakuo exclaimed when he heard that Shen Qian wanted to remove Wang Qingliu from the family tree.

"You are crazy!"

"What crime did Wang Qingliu commit? You must cruelly remove him from the family tree!"

"He is the only student in your family. We have to rely on him to pass the imperial examination in the future!"

"I disagree! No matter what the child does wrong, you must educate him and never remove him from the family tree so easily!"

Wang Dakuo kept refusing, and Shen Qian in the car found it funny listening to him.

Tongsheng?

A student in his twenties who couldn't even pass the exam to become a scholar, his family relied on him, and now he was probably about to starve to death. He took his weak body to Wang Laizi to exchange for two pounds of corn.

"Are you sure?" Shen Qian said with a smile, and Wang Dakuo swallowed nervously.

Why is Shen Qian like this?

"What did he do?" Wang Dakuo asked uncertainly, not daring to answer Shen Qian.

"Treason."

Shen Qian uttered two words calmly and calmly, which made Wang Dakuo faint.

His head hit the ground heavily.

‘Bang’ sound.

When Wang Jizu saw his grandfather fall to the ground, he immediately rushed over and pressed hard on his grandfather's philtrum with his hand.

One after another.

Shouting loudly:

"Grandpa! Wake up! Grandpa!"

"What's going on here?"

Facing Wang Jizu's shouting and pressing.

Wang Dakuo opened his eyes quickly.

Panting weakly.

"Hurry, help me up!" Wang Dakuo said, grabbing Wang Jizu's shoulders tightly.

As he stood up again, he rode his horse without stopping to catch up with Shen Qian's carriage.

He asked in disbelief:

"Wang Shen, is what you said true?"

"Wang Dakuo...he's plotting treason?!"

When Wang Jizu heard his grandfather's incredulous voice, his eyes widened.

Didn’t Brother Qingliu always want to graduate from high school and become an official?

How could he plot treason?

"Just an hour ago, a rebellion broke out in Ziyun County. I'm guessing the county seat has been captured by refugees by now, and Wang Qingliu is the leader of this rebellion." Shen Qian shared her conjecture, but based on her understanding of Wang Qingliu, this was basically confirmed.

"Village Chief, should Wang Qingliu be kicked out of the family tree from now on?"

"The decision is yours."

"But I have already removed Wang Qingliu's name from this family tree."

Hearing Shen Qian's decisive words, Wang Dakuo knew it well.

This is absolutely no joke.

The old face instantly looked more than ten years older.

The Wang and Shen families are obviously prosperous, so why is the eldest brother Wang Qingliu so depressed?

Go be a rebel for what?

After wailing, Wang Dakuo sighed, waved his hand and said:

“Bring me the family tree!”

"From today on, Wang Qingliu will be removed from the family tree of my Wang Village!"

"Announce this to our ancestors and the entire village!"
