Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

With someone taking the lead, even if the other workers do not have the courage yet, they will always follow and take a look at the situation.

So in a short while, the place was crowded with people.

The manager was so angry that he asked someone to stop them, "Go back to work! What are you all doing here? If you don't want to be paid, just stand here!"

"Wages?" The leading worker was very tall, and standing next to the manager, he was a head taller than him.

But the man was very thin, as if a piece of human skin was attached to a skeleton.

"Look at us workers. We earn so little money every month. We have to sell our whole family to work here. We do manual labor but we don't even earn as much as the maids in the courtyard!"

"That's right," one person started to speak, and others followed suit, though their voices were still pitifully small. "Look at how hungry we are. What can we do with the little money you give us? Every family has children. If the adults are hungry, the children can't be hungry too!"

"Nonsense! It's pure nonsense!"

The manager's face turned red with anger, and he looked at Mingxuan angrily, "Miss, you don't have to listen to these people's nonsense. These people were not serious about their work at first, and I was too strict with them on weekdays, so they don't like me as the manager and hold a grudge against me. They probably want to pull me down and replace me with someone else as the manager."

As he spoke, he began to wipe away his tears. "I have worked hard for the village for so many years. You can't just believe what these people say without knowing the truth."

Ming Xuan smiled slightly, "That's easy. Manager Wang has been here for so many years, there can't be no one willing to speak up for you, right?"

"Or, can you explain to me why these workers are complaining about not having enough to eat? Why do they say their wages are being deducted? How much are they paid each month? I see in your account book that the wages paid each month are not low."

"Pay back wages?" The leading worker spoke again. He walked directly to Mingxuan and pointed at the things that Wang had done. "I am a barefoot man who is not afraid of those who wear shoes. My child died of fever a few days ago because we had no money to treat him. I am a lonely man and I don't want to live any longer."

"But it doesn't matter if I die. I can't watch the other workers live in such misery. I will tell you everything the manager did."

Mingxuan had arranged for this person in advance.

He told the whole story about how Manager Wang's family acted arrogantly in the manor and lived their lives like masters.

Ming's parents have grown old in recent years, and Ming Sheng does not like doing business. In the early years, Mingxuan helped him with everything. Later, Mingxuan got married, and all the things were done by only Ming's parents. Naturally, they were too busy, so they turned a blind eye to the things in the farm and had no time to take care of them.

Naturally, this led to the managers of these farms gradually becoming arrogant and selfish.

Mingxuan went to two farms outside the capital before. The manager of one of the farms directly occupied the wives and daughters of the workers in the farm. The workers' birth contracts were held in the hands of the manager. If the manager did not let them go, they could not go anywhere.

So these people could only swallow their anger.

It’s not that no one has tried to file a complaint over the years, but most of the detectives sent by the Ming government were in collusion with those in charge. Not only did they fail to solve the problem, but they also caused many workers to lose their lives.

In this case, who would dare to open their mouth?

Mingxuan also knew all this and knew that Manager Wang must have been prepared for her visit to the two previous farms.

The reason why we stopped for so long this time was that we made preparations in advance.

She glanced at the worker kneeling on the ground with a calm look in her eyes and sighed softly, "Manager Wang, the worker's complaint is that the servants took the master's things for themselves. To put it bluntly, it is no different from theft. Moreover, these workers have been harmed by you one by one. Tell me, should I believe your words, or the words of these workers?"

Steward Wang looked as pale as death, but he still refused to give up. "I was hired by the master and mistress to manage the manor. I want to see the master and mistress."

"No need. My parents have handed over all the affairs of the manor to me. Today I am here to remind you that you have embezzled a lot of things over the years. If it is just money and property, I can let it go because you have worked for the manor over the years."

"But you shouldn't deduct so much from the workers in this village."

The manager's son refused to accept the decision and threatened to rush over.

Ming Xuan raised her eyebrows. "It seems that your son is still a little dissatisfied. In this case, let's go directly to the government to argue."

"But I'm telling you in advance that when we go to the government office, we won't show any mercy."

The implication was that if Steward Wang spoke out at this time, considering how much he had worked for the Ming Prefecture over the years, he would still be killed.

……

After coming out of the manor, the image of Manager Wang with a pale face was still revolving in his mind. He Shumin stroked his chest and looked at Mingxuan, "You are really amazing. I feel scared just looking at you."

Ming Xuan smiled heartily, "That's nothing. The last manager of the manor was a real veteran. I spent more than ten days to deal with him."

She was talking about the manager who took possession of other people's wives and daughters.

Mingxuan showed no mercy to the manager. After more than ten days of persuasion, she reported the man to the government. Not only did she take back all the money that had been taken from his home, she also accused him of all the crimes of bullying men and women.

So the manager was beheaded immediately.

The reason why the manager was not killed today was not because what he did was not evil enough. After all, he withheld the workers' wages, causing those workers to suffer a lot because they had no money.

He even had no money to treat his illness. To be honest, what he did was not much better than the previous one.

But if he really chopped off his head, it would be a bargain for him.

Mingxuan asked the worker who spoke first to be in charge of the farm, and found someone from her own family who could read and keep accounts to teach him.

Manager Wang and his family were left alone in the manor to do some chores.

She believed that once Manager Wang's position was lowered, these workers who had been bullied would have plenty of ways to deal with him.

Gu Qinghe knew what she was thinking, and seeing her smiling, he couldn't help but laugh too, "I have to say, you've done something to scare the tigers. This way, the other managers in the manors should also be trembling with fear."
