Chapter 2306 Greedy

"You don't have to hide it from me. I'm a doctor. This kind of injury can be seen at a glance. If you refuse to tell me, I will call everyone on the ship and ask them one by one to see who knows how you were injured!"

Bai Ruozhu didn't want to scare a little girl, but he also didn't want her to continue to be bullied like this.

"I, I..." Wuya burst into tears suddenly, "I'm afraid, he will let my parents be thrown off the boat to feed the fish."

"Nonsense, no one person has the final say here. We are the ones leading the team this time. Please tell me carefully and I guarantee that no one will bully you and your parents again." Bai Ruozhu said soothingly. .

Wu Ya bit her lip, "It's useless. When you can't see it, or when there's a storm, someone will fall off the boat, or be..."

She didn't dare to speak anymore and hurriedly covered her mouth.

Bai Ruozhu thought for a moment, and realized that with people so far away from her, there was really no way to guarantee the safety of Wuya's family.

She stood up and said, "Let me tell you managers that you and your parents will be transferred to work for me in the future."

"Is it really possible?" Wuya's eyes showed a look of surprise. She liked it up there, but she didn't like the flat and humid space here, and she didn't like the person who took away her earrings.

"Don't worry, I will make arrangements." Bai Ruozhu said.

She turned around to find the steward, showed her token, and said: "We didn't bring any servants with us on this trip, and it was inconvenient to have no servants around us. I saw that the little girl named Wuya and her family were very neat. Yes, just transfer them to me."

The steward looked embarrassed, "This, I have to report this to the manager."

The general manager he was talking about was from the Shipping Department, and everyone nodded and bowed when they saw Jiang Yichun.

Bai Ruozhu deliberately darkened his face, "Why can't I, a fourth-rank official of the imperial court, ask you how many people you want?"

"Replying to Mr. Bai, we originally arranged for someone, but Mr. Jiang said that he doesn't like having people around him, and the Wuya family are descendants of repeat offenders, so they really can't stand up to the challenge," the steward said.

Bai Ruozhu raised his eyebrows, "What kind of felonious crime?"

The steward was a little embarrassed and hesitated before saying: "Wu Liu's father helped King Xin conspire to rebel. Although he was not a major figure, it was definitely a matter of being executed. If it were not for the kindness of the late emperor and the amnesty of the world, Wu Liu would have been He couldn't survive. Later, he was assigned to do hard labor on the ship, and then went to convict a concubine to give birth to a child."

"What crime did Wuya's mother commit?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

"That woman's father was still a civil servant during the late emperor's time, but he made rude remarks and fell into literary prison." The steward lowered his voice and said, "Master Bai, it's not that I don't give you face. How can such a family be arranged around you? ?”

Bai Ruozhu opened her mouth. She wanted to say that Wuya's parents didn't do anything wrong, but they were just implicated by their parents. Moreover, there are always tricks in any conspiracy or literary inquisition.

She thought about Wu Ya Niang's polite manners, and then realized that she was the daughter of a scholar.

"It doesn't matter. They suit my fancy. I'll take care of anything, as long as you are willing to let them go." Bai Ruozhu said.

Now it was hard for the manager to refuse, "Okay, I'll tell the manager later and let them change their clothes and go up to find you."

Bai Ruozhu thought of Wu Ya's small room and said, "Arrange a place for them to live near my house. I'm used to having someone on duty at night. How can they serve me at night when they live here?"

"Okay, I'll take note of it," the steward said hurriedly.

Bai Ruozhu turned back to Wuya's room and said, "I made an agreement with the steward. You can come up with me first. Your parents will come to serve me later."

"The steward agreed?" Wuya almost jumped up, but she quickly shook her head, "Madam, thank you, I can't leave now, I'd better wait for my parents to come back and then we can meet you together."

Being a filial child, Bai Ruozhu didn't force himself anymore and returned to the deck first.

After lunch, Wuya and his family were all brought to Bai Ruozhu. It was brought by the manager himself. He said sternly to the three of them: "You have been serving Master Bai well. If you don't do well, Master Bai will If I don’t punish you, I won’t let you go!”

Bai Ruozhu resisted the urge to scold the manager. After he left, he asked the three Wu family members to sit down and said, "I don't have so many rules here, but I only ask for loyalty. I don't want the things around me to be spread to other people's ears." .”

Wu Liu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Bai Ruozhu, "We will remember what you said, and we will never be a villain who betrays your master."

When he knelt down like this, Bai Ruozhu felt a little embarrassed, but Jiang Yichun helped him up.

Bai Ruozhu took the ointment and applied it to Wuya's ears. Yizi's eyes turned red when she saw it, "Why is it so badly injured?"

Wuya's eyes also turned red, and she said with a choked voice: "The earrings given by Madam are gone."

Bai Ruozhu touched her head and said, "Silly boy, it doesn't matter if the things are gone. I hope you are fine. When your ears heal, I will give you a more beautiful pair."

"I don't want it!" Wu Ya said urgently, "I can't let Madam spend any more money."

Bai Ruozhu smiled and said, "You will be my servants from now on, and I will definitely not let you be wronged. Don't think too much about other things. Okay, now tell me honestly what's going on with your ears."

Wu Ya hurriedly looked at her mother, and when she saw her mother nodding, she said angrily: "It's that Zheng Xin. He saw that I was wearing earrings and asked me where they came from. I said it was a reward from my wife, and he said I This kind of sinner doesn't deserve to wear any jewelry in the future, so let me take it off."

Wuya started to cry aggrievedly, "I said I couldn't let him take what Madam rewarded me, so he just pulled my ear off. My dad heard me crying and came over, and he kicked me hard. My father’s chest was bruised after being kicked.”

"Why is Zheng Xin so greedy for money? He even snatched the little girl's earrings, so he is so shameless!" Feng Lanying cursed angrily.

Bai Ruozhu said solemnly: "That's not all. Wuya, why do you continue to talk about throwing people off the boat?"

Wu Liu's face changed, and he said in a panic: "Master Bai, you must not interfere with this matter. He is the only one who knows the route best, and no one dares to offend him. Moreover, his uncle is also a senior official in the Shipping Department. You will be beaten by him..."

Wu Liu paused as he spoke, and Bai Ruozhu immediately noticed the problem. Something must have happened, and it was related to Zheng Xin.

"Since you know that he is dangerous, you should tell us the truth. Otherwise, what if we are unprepared and are plotted on the road?" Bai Ruozhu said.

Jiang Yichun also nodded and said, "You can rest assured that nothing said in this room will be spread outside."
