Chapter 537: Getting Laborers

Translator: Lonelytree

The second family was imprisoned by the higher-ups.

As for the specific reason, neither County Magistrate Zhou nor Zhou Wencai knew.

However, since the higher-ups had requested, these people also had the official mark.

Lin yuelan looked at the family. They were still quiet, but their faces were ashen, and they looked like they had nothing left to live for.

Perhaps all prisoners would have such despair.

Lin yuelan looked at them and asked, ” if I give you a chance to live freely, do you want it? ”

Lin yuelan’s question didn’t only shock the prisoner but also Zhou Wencai. Jiang Zhennan was only slightly surprised before his expression immediately returned to its cold state.

As for why they were so shocked?

This was because Lin yuelan’s words meant that after she hired them, she would have the opportunity to restore their status as commoners from official slaves.

This was a great temptation.

It should be known that after some buyers hired prisoners, they were equivalent to their slaves. It was very likely that they would be beaten and scolded for the rest of their lives. They were not even as good as a dog. The master would usually not let them go.

Therefore, it was almost impossible for them to be free.

Unless the buyer was a very kind person.

However, how many kind-hearted buyers were there?

But now, this person had opened her mouth and wanted to give them freedom. It would be strange if they didn’t feel surprised.

Zhou wencai didn’t expect Lin yuelan to have the thought of giving them freedom. She had the heart of a bodhisattva.

However, he knew very well that Lin yuelan was not a kind person. It was clear from how she treated the Lin family.

So …

“What are your conditions?” Suddenly, a tall man with a beard stood up from the corner and asked. His sharp eyes did not dim even a little because of the official-laborer mark on his forehead.

Lin yuelan looked at the man and said with a faint smile, ” loyalty!”

The normal laborers were forced into indenture due to poverty. Many of them were originally laborers, so they didn’t have any heart to resist. On the other hand, these prisoners were originally young masters who fell from heaven to hell. They still didn’t control their temper. Such people were naturally unwilling to be controlled.

The man thought for a moment and asked again, ” what kind of loyalty do you want? ”

Lin yuelan said, ” the kind of person who would die without hesitation if I asked him to! ”

Zhou Wencai gasped.

However, what kind of riddle were they playing?

These inmates couldn’t resist their master’s order, even if it were a death order.

Then why did Lin yuelan have to do something unnecessary?

The man asked again, “In that case, how long will it take for us to have such freedom? ”

“Three years!” Lin yuelan said without hesitation, ” however, you must be absolutely loyal to me within these three years. After three years, it’s up to you to decide whether you want to stay or leave. If you leave, I’ll return the contract to you. If you stay, I’ll personally go to the court and change your status to commoners!”

He only needed to be an official laborer for three years, and he could regain his freedom.

This was a great temptation for those who had already been marked.

“However, if you have any intention of betraying me in the next three years, ” Lin yuelan said sharply, ” you will be working for me for life. You will be my cows and horses for the rest of your lives. You will be whipped by me and live a life worse than death! ”

As soon as Lin yuelan said this, except for the man who was talking to her, the others who were sitting or standing behind him immediately changed their expressions and became terrified.

“I’ve already told you the conditions. You can decide for yourself whether you want to follow me or not. I’ll give you half a quarter of an hour to think about it! ”

Zhou Wen was somewhat puzzled about choosing this family, but he wondered if Lin yuelan’s promise of freedom to them was a little too impulsive.

However, before he could continue to think about this question, the man in the lead replied, ” we agree!” however, ” he suddenly changed the topic and said seriously, ” you have to promise to get all of us!”
