The case is just a matter of process, but it goes very quickly.

A whole Zhuangzi people testified, and old Jiang was escorted back to the Yamen on the spot.

Jiang Dalang and the other four people died completely before dawn. After the official checked, they invited the widow to come over.

In the afternoon, Shi Yi and Wang Chu came to see Jiang Wancheng together.

Wang Chu: "Girl, I have looked at it and confirmed that these four people all died of poisonous attacks caused by the bites of venomous snakes and venomous insects."

"Last night, more than a dozen people were seen being bitten. Although they were all outside Bishui Residence, the appearance of those venomous snakes and venomous insects seemed to be a coincidence. These people appeared under the wall of Bishui Residence in the middle of the night in a sneaky way, with unknown motives. , so the girl doesn’t have to come forward in this matter.”

Jiang Wancheng: "If the yamen wants to go deeper, or if Old Man Jiang has revealed something, the other families should also be taken to the yamen in Beijing for questioning in the next two days. If that doesn't work, maybe I will go to the city. Go. Keep an eye on it."

Wang Chu glanced at Tingfeng nervously, then quickly lowered his head: "Yes, girl. Girl, yesterday we delayed our trip. We were late to leave the city gate, and we encountered the curfew, so we had to stay in the city temporarily. I didn’t expect you to encounter so much trouble at home one night! Girl, I’m sorry…”

Wang Chu felt guilty and his eyes were red.

After meeting Yang Hu and hearing about a series of things that happened last night, Wang Chu was so worried and nervous that he almost lost half his life. Although things had settled down now, he was still extremely scared.

On the contrary, Shi Yi on the side patted him hard on the shoulder and persuaded him: "What are you talking about, grown man? Didn't you see that they are doing nothing?"

"A few people who wanted to do bad things to them also died, and old man Jiang was also arrested. Do you really think that your girl is a vegetarian? I have known for a long time that Sister Jiang is not easy to mess with, but I didn't expect it. It’s not that simple… Tsk!”

Shi Yi stared deeply at Jiang Wancheng, as if he had already seen that all this was not really irrelevant to her.

Jiang Wancheng coughed lightly as he looked at him, intending to put the matter aside for the time being.

"By the way, how did you go about the things we asked you to go to the city to do yesterday?"

Shi Yi: "With me taking action, will this matter still be in doubt? Don't worry, Sister Jiang! If it hadn't been delayed because of this matter yesterday, we wouldn't have missed the curfew and left the city. I chose five people, and now My son is out here, do you want to meet him?"

Jiang Wancheng asked Shi Yi and Wang Chu to go to Beijing to pick some guards to come to Zhuangzi.

A Zhuangzi cannot be protected without guards.

Jiang Wancheng understands this truth.

Originally, she had already thought about it while she was on the way to Beijing. If she didn't have a bodyguard, she would let Shi Yi work hard first, and then buy a bodyguard when she had some savings.

Only when I came here did I realize that I still had some money left after buying Zhuangzi.

So, I just spent a hundred taels to buy a few guards.

Shi Yi took out the deed of betrayal and handed it to Jiang Wancheng, "They are all deeds of death."

Jiang Wancheng flipped through it and said in his heart: The most worthless thing in ancient times was indeed human.

She sighed helplessly. Over the years since she came, it was not that she was assimilated by ancient times, but that she was born in such a big environment, and there were too many things she couldn't help herself.

If you don't buy the death contract of these people, they will easily become disloyal.

When the time comes, will they be guards or killers?

Therefore, Jiang Wancheng did not dare to be careless in this matter.

She handed the deed of betrayal to Tingfeng and asked her to help put it away, and then asked the five guards to come in to meet her and recognize their faces.

Shi Yi seems to be an expert, so naturally these people can't be wrong.

Shi Yi also said: "My skills are still poor, but after I train a little more, I can do the job. At least I can deal with those unruly people in Zhuangzi and suppress whatever they want."

Jiang Wancheng nodded with satisfaction: "Then leave it to Brother Shi. By the way, Wang Chu. There are two people in this village, are you familiar with them?"

Jiang Wancheng asked about Li Sigui and Yang Hu.

She liked these two people's work very much, so she wanted to take them in to work for her.

Wang Chu was a little hesitant, "Girl, you really have a good eye. Both of them are indeed good at things. Yang Hu is smart, Li Sigui is down-to-earth, and both of them are not bad-hearted. Even the little ones like them very much." Make friends with them, but they probably won't be willing to sell themselves into slavery..."

Jiang Wancheng: "I don't need them to sell themselves, how about hiring them?"

Shi Yi: "Hire?"

Jiang Wancheng: "I just sign a contract and let them do things for me on a yearly or monthly basis. I will pay them a salary."

Wang Chu understood immediately, "Girl, you mean, like those guys in restaurants in the city?"

Jiang Wancheng: "It doesn't look alike. Because here, if you sign a contract, you can't go back on it at will. For example, if they don't want to do things for me midway, but the time for signing the contract has not expired, then they have to Pay me a hefty penalty."

"On the other hand, if I fire them midway, I will also need to pay a compensation. The amount of the money can be agreed upon together."

Wang Chu was very excited after hearing this. He thought this was a good idea.

Even if you don't have to sell yourself into slavery, you can still do something serious.

Wang Chu: "Girl, I dare to ask a few more questions, I wonder... how much salary can you give them?"

Jiang Wancheng asked Wang Chu: "Do you know how much Li Sigui can earn in a day working at the dock?"

Wang Chu: "He has good physical strength, moves a lot and is diligent. He seems to be able to earn twenty cash a day."

Jiang Wancheng: "Then let me think about it first. Why don't you ask them what they want first? Just say, I will never treat them badly."

Wang Chu's eyebrows rose with joy, "Yes, girl."

He turned around and went out, but Jiang Wancheng let out a long and sad sigh.

Tingfeng asked her: "Girl, what's wrong?"

Jiang Wancheng: "I can't bear to leave these two available people, but the money in my hands is tight."

Li Sigui can earn twenty coins a day by working as a porter at the dock.

There is the second pier for going to Beijing, and there are freights every day. A person as agile and capable as him will never be without work.

However, there should be very few people like him who can earn twenty cash.

He stole a lot of work, so some people who didn't like him gathered together and beat him.

Even if he works diligently for a month, it would be better if he is willing to work for twenty-eight days.

Then he can earn at least 560 cash a month.

For ordinary people, they can earn more than 500 yuan a month, which is considered a relatively high income.

Therefore, if Jiang Wancheng wants to keep him, it must be higher than this amount.

In fact, even if you give him one tael of silver a month, it should be worth it.

As for Yang Hu, it seems that although his physical strength may not be as good as Li Sigui's, he has quick legs and feet, and he is also smart, so his salary cannot be different from Li Sigui's.

Especially since it cost one hundred taels to buy five guards, Jiang Wancheng only had 613 taels of silver available.

The most urgent thing at the moment is not to add furniture or anything else to the Bishui Residence, but to quickly buy Wen Erlang books, the Four Treasures of the Study, and hire a teacher for him.

And she will have to support a few more people from now on.

Although Zhuangzi's fields have income, they cannot be pocketed immediately, and the rent she collects is really not much, so she must immediately consider other ways to make money.

Jiang Wancheng thought of something. She lowered her head and looked at Tingfeng: "Tomorrow, we will go to Beijing."
