Chapter 684 2.120 Betrayal
After Chang Zai came in a hurry, he greeted the eldest lady tremblingly.
Although this young lady is young, she has a terrifying aura. Chang Zai dare not take a breath every time she is in front of the young lady.
"During half a cup of tea, call me all the servants and maidservants in the whole house." Qiao Mu said coldly, "Bring me all the deeds of sale, and call me the people from the tooth shop."
Chang's heart skipped a beat, he didn't dare to hesitate, went down quickly and informed all the maids and servants, and sent someone to the dental shop to invite someone to come to the door.
In the quiet courtyard, Qiao Mu asked someone to move a chair and sit directly in front of him. There was a small case in front of which was the list of personnel.
Chunying and Xia Yun were the first to arrive. They trotted all the way over, their foreheads were a little sweaty. Seeing the eldest lady sitting there looking through the roster of personnel, neither of them dared to speak, but stood still honestly.
Soon, half a cup of tea time passed, besides Chunying and Xia Yun, only the gardener Lao Bai, the sweeping mother Xu Niang, two maids from the outer courtyard, and two servants came.
The eight people lined up in two rows and looked at each other.
Qiao Mu didn't say anything, Ming Shaoyao lit a stick of incense on the table, flipped through the roster with her fingers, and looked up at the people on the field from time to time.
Until the two sticks of incense were burned, the last two maids who came late also rushed over yawning. Seeing many people standing in the courtyard, the two maids rushed to the back of the crowd.
Compared with other prefectures, Qiao's mansion does not have many servants. But there are also few masters, the first house has five members, the second house has only two people, and there are only seven masters in total, and Qiao Mu is not at home all year round. Speaking of which, fifteen or six servants are enough to serve six masters.
Qiao's father, Qiao's mother, and Uncle Qiao's are all talkative, and they usually don't have much work at home. See how carelessly these people are raised.
Qiao Mu sneered. Let Chunying and the other eight come out first and stand aside, looking coldly at the remaining seven or eight maidservants.
"Housekeeper Chang, you didn't inform how many of them came to see me within half a cup of tea?" Qiao Mu asked coldly.
"I have been notified." Chang Zai said tremblingly.
"If you dare to do this after being notified, it means you don't pay attention to my master at all." Qiao Mu sneered again, "Everyone will be responsible for ten battles, and we will talk after the fight."
The seven or eight young servants immediately became flustered, and were suppressed by several young men in black who jumped out from behind Qiao Mu suddenly, and swung their sticks without any explanation.
Among them was a boy whom Qiao Mu recognized, who made the most noise and barked the most, that was the dog leg next to his younger brother Qiao Sen.
After ten blows each, without missing a point, several black-clothed youths retreated behind Qiao Mu in a well-trained manner.
Qiao Mu glanced coldly at everyone on the field, "If you dare to howl, hit another twenty."
In an instant, there was complete silence in the front courtyard.
"I called you here today to ask you to answer me a question honestly." Qiao Mu's eyes were extremely cold, and he scanned the row of servants standing in front of him one by one.
"A few days ago, someone betrayed the news from my garden to the eldest lady of the Wu family. They said that I was unkind, cunning and indifferent by nature, and didn't like to be served close by. They also sent everyone from Nanzhu Garden out."
As soon as Qiao Mu finished speaking, the last two little maids who got into the crowd lowered their heads firmly, and could not help but tremble slightly.
