Chapter 216 Familiar Face

Jiang Jiao sat in the second mule cart and arrived at Gu Jinli's house not long after.

As soon as he got out of the car, Jiang Jiao shouted: "Mr. Gu, Brother Dashan, and niece Xiaoyu, I have sent someone for you."

Gu Jinli's family was having lunch when they heard the sound. Everyone except Gu Jinxiu came out.

Gu Jinli took Brother Cheng and ran out of the courtyard, opened the courtyard door, saw Jiang Jiao, and said with a smile: "Uncle Jiang, have you bought it? You are really fast, come in quickly."

Jiang Jiao smiled and said, "It's been a few days. If I don't come back, will the soybean oil workshop still be open?"

It takes about five days to walk from Tianfu County to He'an Fucheng, but their family has horse-drawn carriages and mule carts, which are fast runners. If they catch up and lose two hours of sleep, they can reach Fucheng in one day.

Gu Jinli quickly praised Jiang Jiao. Jiang Jiao was even more happy. He said to the three mule cars behind him: "Hurry up, don't worry, come down quickly."

After a while, the people in the three mule carts climbed out of the mule cart.

There were about twenty people in this group, both men and women, ranging in age from adults to children. They were all skinny and skinny, wearing tattered linen clothes, no shoes, and all barefoot. His hair was messy, his face was dark, and there were patches of dark red blood scabs on his face, which were scabs formed after frostbite.

They all stooped and did not dare to look at anyone, but they were curious about this new environment and glanced sideways involuntarily.

I guess he was trained. After a quick glance, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look around again.

The third grandma looked at those people and immediately wiped away tears: "This thin guy probably hasn't had a full meal for more than half a year."

The third grandma thought of the days when her family fled famine, and also thought of her daughter Fuya's family. I dont know where her blessing is now? Are they like these disaster victims, as thin as skeletons?

Thinking of this, the third grandma cried and ran to the kitchen, wanting to take out all the edible food in the house and give it to them.

Gu Dashan and Cui also had red circles in their eyes. More than three months ago, their family was also like these victims.

The Third Grandpa looked at these victims and sighed in his heart. It was all caused by the drought. If there had been no drought, the farmers would not have to suffer like this.

Ah Jiao, thank you for your hard work, please bring them into the yard. Third Grandpa turned sideways and made way for Jiang Jiao to bring the more than 20 victims into the yard.

"Hey." Jiang Jiao responded, bringing the victims into the yard, pointing at them and saying: "Everyone, stand in line, this is your future master's house. If you want to stay and have food to eat, you have to follow the rules. Behave yourself, answer whatever I ask you, and do whatever you are told, do you understand?"

Understood. The victims responded in unison, most of their voices were weak, and only a few of them had higher voices.

Third Grandma had already brought the food to the yard and said to them: "Don't stand there yet..."

Third Grandma, give them something to eat later. Gu Jinli knew that Third Grandma meant well, but this was the way it was in this era. As the master, if he wanted to control his servants, he couldnt be too kind to them.

Being too kind to your servants will cultivate their hearts. In the future, let alone cheating and cheating, it will not be unusual for them to do things such as murdering the master's family.

Although Gu Jinli comes from modern times, she knows that every era has its own rules. If the rules are broken, her own family may be the one who gets hurt in the end.

When the third grandma heard this, she hesitated for a while, then nodded in agreement.

Gu Jinli turned to look at Jiang Jiao and asked him: "Second Uncle Jiang, are there any of these people who know how to box and kick?" Jiang Jiao said: "Yes, I bought you people who know how to box and kick, but not many, only three. This time There are too few fists and kicks.

He pointed to three people among the victims and said: "Lao Zhu, Liu Daguang, and Wang Yongfu, you three stand up."

The three victims whose names were called took a step forward and stood up. The man named Liu Daguang was a step slower than Lao Zhu and Wang Yongfu, and he hesitated before standing up.

When Gu Jinli saw this, he didn't say anything. He just said to the three of them: "Our family also came from famine, so we won't look down on you. Now I have a few words to ask you."

Liu Daguang was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He originally lowered his head, but immediately raised his head and looked down at Gu Jinli. His previous humility was gone.

Gu Jinli sneered in his heart, looking at Lao Zhu and Wang Yongfu, he felt quite satisfied when he saw that they still lowered their heads and nervously pulled at the corners of their clothes.

She pointed at Liu Daguang and said to Jiang Jiao: "Second Uncle Jiang, I don't want this guy in my family, let him go."

Liu Daguang was not worried at all when he heard this. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief. He used to be a government servant, working as an official in the county government, but later his home county suffered a military disaster. He was afraid of death and ran away with his wife and children.

Originally he wanted to go to Fucheng to settle down, but he didn't expect the war disaster to be so serious. He fled with his wife and children. On the way, his wife and children were accidentally injured by stray arrows, and they couldn't survive and died.

He fled to He'an Prefecture alone. His household registration was lost on the way. He needed money to replace his household registration. He had no money and was so hungry that he had no choice but to sell himself.

He thought Jiang Jiao was good, and heard him talking to his servants. This man was still the son of a county captain, and he wanted to sell him to his family. He would first live in the county captain's house for a few years, and after getting to know the county captain's family, he could redeem himself. , relying on the relationship with the county captain, he worked as an errand in the county government and lived the same life as before in his hometown.

Who would have thought that this Jiang Jiao bought him and sent him to the countryside.

What future can there be in this shabby countryside?

The head of the household came from the famine, and his family was poor. Even if he were killed, he would not want to work in this household.

Jiang Jiao saw Liu Daguang's expression and was very angry. He originally thought that Liu Daguang was good at boxing and had worked in the county government. He knew the rules on the road and was very loyal. He seemed to be a good person, so he brought him to the Gu family.

Unexpectedly, he made a mistake this time and bought something with too much thought.

Jiang Jiao looked at Liu Daguang and sneered, then turned to Gu Jinli and said, "Okay, since niece Xiaoyu's family doesn't want him, then Uncle Jiang will sell him to the mines."

Sell it to the mine!

When Liu Daguang heard this, he almost peed in fear. He made a plop and knelt down in a hurry: "Master Jiang, Master Jiang, please don't sell me to the mine. I am willing to stay here and work here!"

Its too late, who do you think you are? Are you picking on the master? Jiang Jiao said to Lao Zhu and Wang Yongfu: Take his arm off for me and drag it aside.

"Yes." Lao Zhu and Wang Yongfu were so hungry that their limbs were weak, but Liu Daguang was also very hungry. They quickly restrained Liu Daguang, dislocated his arm with two clicks, and took Jiang Jiao away. The thrown rope **** Liu Daguang and dragged him to the courtyard gate.

Gu Jinli saw that these two people were good at skills and that they were very honest from getting off the car to entering the door. He was quite satisfied with them, so he continued to ask them questions.

While Gu Jinli was asking questions, the third grandmother kept staring at the group of victims. Originally, I felt sorry for the suffering they had suffered and couldn't help but look at them a few more times. But as I looked at them, I suddenly found that among the victims, there was a thin young man who looked familiar.
