The female workers sat around the long table in the canteen, each swallowing their saliva.

They probably hadn't eaten fish and meat on the table for a long time.

The aroma really stirred up the cravings in their stomachs.

However, the orphaned girls did not move their chopsticks, but all looked at Li Yuan with their eyes.

They couldn't start eating until Master Li took his seat.

Li Yuan smiled slightly and said loudly to the dozens of female workers.

"Everyone, sisters."

"You have worked diligently for me, and I, Li Yuan, would like to thank you all in advance."

After saying that, he cupped his fist and bowed deeply to the women.

The women were all startled and hurriedly stood up to return the greeting.

Li Yuan pressed his hand down, motioning the women to sit down, and then continued.

"Today's meat is to thank you for your hard work during this period."

"How can there be meat without wine at this banquet?"

Li Yuan turned around and said to Cui Niang.

"Cui Niang, go to the warehouse and get ten bottles of Hundred Flowers Brew."

"The sisters have worked so hard to brew wine for me, Li Yuan, but how can they not have tasted the fine wine they brewed themselves?"

"Everyone must drink a few bowls today!"

Upon hearing this, the female workers were a little at a loss.

They heard that Hundred Flowers Brew could sell for hundreds of coins a bottle outside.

How could such expensive wine be something that humble orphaned girls like them could drink?

The women were about to persuade Master Li not to do so.

But they heard Li Yuan say with a smile.

"Everyone, don't be polite."

"I, Li Yuan, can become a Commandant today, and all the sisters present are my contributors."

"The good wine you brew has benefited me a lot."

"I, Li Yuan, have always rewarded those who have contributed and punished those who have made mistakes."

"It's just a few bottles of wine, everyone, don't decline."

Seeing that Li Yuan was so polite to them, these orphaned girls were a little overwhelmed by the favor.

At this time, ten bottles of Hundred Flowers Brew were also brought over.

Seeing that the wine had been brought, and Master Li was very insistent, the women did not decline.

Instead, they each filled their glasses with wine.

Cui Niang picked up a bowl of Hundred Flowers Brew, raised her wine bowl, and first toasted Li Yuan from afar.

"This little girl congratulates Master Li on his promotion to Commandant, and offers a toast to Master Li."

The women immediately reacted and filled their glasses with wine to toast each other.

After drinking a bowl of wine, the atmosphere of the banquet immediately livened up.

Eating large pieces of chicken, duck, and fish, and drinking mellow Hundred Flowers Brew.

Chatting about interesting stories in the village and neighborhood gossip.

It's just that later, the little tune turned into a love song between men and women in the village.

As soon as the tune of the affectionate woman asking about her lover came out.

The teasing meaning in the lyrics became more and more intense.

Interspersed with the cheerful laughter of the women.

The orphaned girls usually lived a hard life, struggling for a living every day, so how could they have the heart to think about these things?

Today, they ate at the banquet and were happy, and they became somewhat unrestrained.

Li Yuan didn't care about these things. A banquet should be lively.

But soon, he realized that there was only one man at the table, and that was him, Li Yuan.

Under the influence of the wine, the faces of the orphaned girls were flushed, and the teasing meaning of the mountain songs became more and more intense.

The lyrics were also becoming more and more explicit.

Li Yuan's face was flushed from the tune.

Li Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart. He really didn't expect these orphaned girls to be so open and bold today.

Forget it, they are all poor people who have been depressed for a long time, so let them indulge as they please today.

The cheerful atmosphere and the aroma of wine and meat in the winery also attracted the envy of the surrounding neighbors.

In an earthen house not far away.

Smelling the aroma of wine and meat in the air.

A woman was complaining about her man.

"Zhang Dashuan, it's all your fault. That day, I wanted to go to the winery to work, but you stopped me."

"Now those women are eating meat and drinking wine, but I can't eat it. I'm starving to death."

"Tomorrow, I will go to Cui Niang and ask if the workshop still needs people. You can't stop me."

Her man could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

Such conversations were happening in many places in Dongxiang Village.

Li Yuan didn't expect that his banquet for the female workers would become a recruitment advertisement for the workshop.

The women in the village all began to yearn to work in Li Yuan's workshop.

Even the men in the village were complaining about why Master Li didn't open some workshops for men to work in.

So that they, the men, could also have a place to work and earn money.

But that's all in the future.

The time had reached Xu hour.

Many women in the winery were a little unrestrained from drinking.

Only Cui Niang still maintained her sobriety.

During this period, she had been serving Li Yuan, like a well-behaved little maid, helping Li Yuan pour wine and serve dishes.

At this time, Li Yuan saw that it was getting late, so he ordered Cui Niang.

"Cui Niang, take good care of these sisters. Tomorrow, work will resume as usual, everything will remain the same."

"In addition, reduce the brewing of Qingyuan Paste and increase the production of Worry-Free Paste in the winery."

"I have great use for it recently."

Cui Niang hurriedly bowed and said yes, her face was red.

But I don't know if it was from drinking, or because she was sitting next to Li Yuan.

After instructing Cui Niang, Li Yuan got up and bid farewell to the women.

He now had a very important thing to do.

Li Yuan left the winery and walked through the streets of the village.

At this time, the night was deep, and no one was walking in the village, only the occasional barking of dogs could be heard.

Li Yuan looked around and saw that there was no one nearby, so he walked towards a dilapidated mountain temple in the northern mountain depression of the village.

Looking at the mountain temple from a distance, it was already dilapidated.

There was usually no incense, so naturally there was no one there.

Walking into the back hall of the temple.

Li Yuan saw that Cui Ping and the other four subordinates were waiting for him, so he asked in a low voice.

"Are they awake?"

Cui Ping replied in a low voice.

"Just woke up."

Li Yuan looked towards the corner of the back hall, where two people were tied up.

One was Gou the scribe, and the other was Wei Lun, the former Commandant of the military fort.

At this time, the two looked extremely miserable.

During the day, both of them had been beaten with military sticks.

The guards who carried out the punishment did not hold back, and both of them were beaten until their skin was torn and their flesh was ripped open.

At this time, their hair was disheveled, their clothes were torn, and their mouths were blocked with rags, so they could only make whimpering sounds.

Li Yuan walked over and first squatted down in front of the two of them.

He stared directly into their eyes with cold eyes.

Gou the scribe didn't dare to look Li Yuan in the eye, and quickly avoided his gaze.

But Wei Lun's eyes were full of hatred, his eyes were bloodshot with anger, and his gaze was fixed on Li Yuan.

His expression wished he could bite Li Yuan.

Li Yuan looked at Wei Lun, who was like a dog in the water, and just sneered.

"Wei Lun, didn't you want to rob my winery?"

"Didn't you want to take my woman?"

"Have you ever thought about today's outcome?"

Wei Lun's expression became even more angry and unwilling, he twisted his body, and made whimpering sounds in his mouth.

Li Yuan raised his hand and slapped Wei Lun **** in the face with a snap.

"What are you? How dare you rob my, Li Yuan's, winery?"

"In my eyes, you are just a mad dog."

Li Yuan's slap directly knocked off the linen cloth that was blocking Wei Lun's mouth.

Wei Lun quickly took a few breaths of fresh air.

Then he turned his head to look at Li Yuan and threatened.

"Small soldier, I'm telling you!"

"Quickly release your master Wei!"

"Otherwise, I'll make you suffer!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped **** in the face again.

"You! How dare you hit me!"

Then, with a snap, another slap.

"You lowly soldier, I'm going to kill you."

"I, a Commandant, want to crush you, a soldier ......."

Speaking of this, Wei Lun couldn't continue.

Because he remembered.

He had been dismissed from his position by the Left Division Guard and kicked out of the military fort, and was no longer a Commandant.

And the little soldier he looked down on had transformed.

He replaced his position and became the new Commandant of the military fort.

This change made Wei Lun feel unwilling and furious.

He still couldn't understand why he would fall to such a state just because he robbed a small soldier of his winery.

"I! I'm going to kill you!"

"You actually robbed me of my Commandant!"

At this time, Wei Lun's voice already contained a sob.

Li Yuan was also tired of hitting, and backhanded and blocked his mouth with linen cloth again.

Looking at Wei Lun struggling to twist his body, he sneered and said.

"I heard people say that you like to rob other people's things the most."

"Many soldiers have been harmed to death by you."

"Today, I robbed you of your position as Commandant, and let you taste the feeling of being robbed."

"However, Wei Lun, your time is running out."

Li Yuan turned to ask a few subordinates.

"Is everything ready?"

Cui Yong walked in covered in dirt.

"Brother Li, everything is ready."

A quarter of an hour later, in the dark grove behind the mountain.

Wei Lun and Gou the scribe, whose limbs were broken, were dragged by Li Yuan and thrown into a ten-foot-deep pit.

The pit had just been dug, and the freshly dug soil was piled aside.

Seeing this scene, how could Wei Lun and Gou the scribe not understand what Li Yuan and the others were going to do?

This despicable and vicious Li Yuan was definitely going to bury them alive.

At this time, Gou the scribe and Wei Lun were regretting it to the core.

We just wanted to rob you of your winery.

Did you have to be so ruthless?

If I had known that this Li Yuan was so ruthless, why would I have provoked him?

With their mouths blocked by linen cloth, the two were crying and wailing, making whimpering sounds, struggling desperately.

But their hands and feet were tightly bound by hemp ropes, and the bones of their limbs were also broken.

There was no possibility of escape at all.

Li Yuan squatted on the edge of the pit, looking at the desperate two.

His face still showed a kind smile.

It's just that in the eyes of the two in the pit, Li Yuan's smile was more like a life-threatening devil.

"Wei Lun, I, Li Yuan, am the most reasonable."

"You want to rob my winery, and even want to kill me like crushing an ant."

"How could I possibly spare you."

"It is justified for me to kill you."

"You have nothing to complain about."

"Remember in your next life, some people, you can't afford to provoke!"

Li Yuan stood up and waved his hand.

The four subordinates waved the iron shovels in their hands, and the soil around the pit was quickly backfilled.

Before long, there was no deep pit on the ground, only a flat ground.

Cui Ping even carefully shoveled some turf over and covered it.

From then on, there were no more Wei Lun and Gou the scribe in the world.
