Chapter 1843: Betrayal
However, the eldest grandson smiled meaningfully and said,” Oh, I’m also very curious as to why these people would ask you for wages. Then I’ll ask directly.”
After saying that, he turned to look at these people and asked with a stern expression,” Who are you? Why would he ask for wages from Princess Gu in front of the Crown Prince’s residence? Don’t you know that today is the wedding day of the princess of Guguo? Aren’t you afraid of being questioned by the princess and your head falling to the ground?”
In fact, it was normal for him to say something like that in a normal situation.
However, what was unusual was that this emperor’s eldest grandson seemed to want to pin a horrible crime on the princess of Guguo. If she were unhappy, she would make people’s heads fall to the ground and not treat people as humans.
Hearing this, not only Jiang Zhennan but even the emperor, empress, and crown prince frowned.
Jiang Zhennan stepped forward and said,” Your Royal Highness, please mind your words. The Princess doesn’t have the habit of beheading people!”
At this point, Jiang Zhennan looked at Master Hu and the others and said,” Master Hu, I believe you should know this general. Whether the princess owes you wages or not, I believe you should know in your hearts. However, this general wants to say something. Aren’t you afraid of retribution for repaying kindness with enmity?”
As soon as Jiang Zhennan finished speaking, Master Hu and his four brothers’ faces instantly turned pale, and guilt welled up in their hearts again.
Just as Master Hu was about to say something, Second Brother Hu jumped up and said indignantly, “Repay kindness with ingratitude? Great General, we work ourselves to death for her, but we only get a small amount of money. As for her, she gets thousands of times more than all of us. She stole our hard-earned money. We’re just not convinced now and want justice. Is there anything wrong with that? This is not repaying kindness with ingratitude!”
Second Brother Hu spoke very confidently, not thinking that he was wrong at all.
Other than a few people, the others were confused by what Second Brother Hu said.
Immediately, the surrounding crowd began whispering.
“I know these masters. They were a few craftsmen from the Lin family’s housing construction company. It was said that many of the houses of the wealthy families in the capital were built by these people. However, weren’t they the subordinates of the Lin Group’s Real Estate Construction? If they want to get their wages and justice, they should go to Boss Lin of Lin Real Estate Construction Company. Why did they come to look for Princess Gu?
“Even if Boss Lin has a good business relationship with the princess, it doesn’t mean that they can ask for justice from the princess.”
“You’re right. This is indeed a little strange!” At this point, someone immediately asked in surprise.
“But speaking of which, these people are a little unkind. Since they were workers, of course, they were paid. But from what this person said, they seemed to be dissatisfied with the current salary. Oh, right. Do you know how much their wages are?” Someone in the middle asked curiously.
“I know that. I heard that their salary is at least thirty taels a month, especially the master, whose monthly salary is as high as fifty taels.”
“Thirty taels, fifty taels?” As soon as this person said this, the surrounding crowd was shocked.” Oh my god, such a high salary. Are they still not satisfied? You have to know that three taels a month is already a high price for us to work in a rich family.”
But then the insider continued,” This is only the monthly salary. I also heard that every time they build a house, they get a commission and bonus. I heard that they could get at least thirty taels for building a house. There are still fifty taels left. When it’s high, they can get a hundred taels as a bonus.”
“No way. With such high wages and so much income, do they have nothing to do? They actually caused a ruckus in front of the Crown Prince’s residence at this time.” When someone heard this, they were even more shocked.” They even pointed at the princess of Guguo. They… Are they crazy?”
“Who knows?” Someone around immediately echoed,” Maybe they’re just having a good time. Otherwise, why would he suddenly raise a sign and ask others to return their hard-earned money when they were living a good life? I’m really speechless.”
“Hey, don’t you guys find this scene very familiar? Something like this happened two years ago, right?”
“Aiya, if you didn’t remind me, I really wouldn’t have thought of it. You said that two years ago, it was the so-called relatives of Princess Gu who sued the princess, right?” At this point, the person sneered,” Haha, I didn’t expect that they would get their retribution. After they died, they were even thrown into a mass grave. Later on, it was the princess of the Guguo who was kind enough to send people to clean them up and send them back to their hometown. Otherwise, those people might really become lonely ghosts!”
Being a lonely ghost was the most terrifying thing in this era.
Although the crowd outside did not dare to make any noise because of the presence of the Emperor and the other important figures, the Emperor and the others could still vaguely hear the commotion they made.
However, Master Hu’s brothers, with the exception of Second Brother Hu, felt even more guilty when they heard the comments of the people around them. At the same time, an uncontrollable panic surged in their hearts.
They faintly felt that if this continued, their outcome might be no different from those of Lin family members back then.
No, they couldn’t be such ungrateful people.
How could they be blinded by greed? What should they do now?
However, it was still not too late. They only needed to retreat.
Thinking of this, Master Hu and his brothers exchanged glances and nodded secretly.
However, just as they were exchanging glances, Second Brother Hu saw them.
He panicked and asked angrily,” Big Brother, what are you planning to do? Don’t forget that we’ve already come to Lin… Princess Gu to demand justice. Why are we the ones doing the work, and she the one making the money?”
