Chapter 4873: Return to Qing Dynasty 293

The driver was an old man, who was very silent. When it was dawn, the Duke of Dun's Palace was looking at him. The old man said: "There are a few relatives in the village today, and those relatives speak a little strangely. One is the nephew of the old Wang family.

, I don’t know where I picked the brand in my hand. One is the son of Widow Sun. He sleeps in until noon every day. He said that he would get up when he heard the dog barking in the middle of the night to see if there were any thieves. He also turned a corner and ran to Lao Qitou’s house.

There’s something strange here too.”

Scholar Niu said in surprise: "Do you think it was the two of them who set the fire?"

The old man was silent for a long time: "Who knows."

He is an old man and has a smooth tree. His old man is the only driver in this village. As long as it is not raining or snowing heavily, he drives people to the city or town every day and makes money by pulling the carts. Therefore, he thinks he has better vision than other people in the village.

The old man is more sensitive.

Anyway, these two guys didn't have a good reputation in the village. The fact that they came back together out of the blue meant that it was the Prince of Dunjun who came to set the fire. The more he heard about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

The people in Prince Dun's Mansion are really nice. In the early years, there were some stewards who were village tyrants. Later, they were all captured by Prince Dun. Now, although the new steward is also a ruthless person, he can really get it.

Big money will never care about small people like them.

When I have free time, I will look for helpers in the nearby villages. A strong man can earn 20 coins, and the elderly, children, and women can earn from 5 to 10 coins.

In the past few years, everyone has had enough to eat. During the New Year and the holidays, sometimes the Prince of Dunjun will give out some benefits. One family will be given a dozen chickens. In half a year, they will grow into big chickens. By the New Year's Day,

The Lidun County Prince's Mansion recovered the chickens at market price and gave them to the chickens for free. Now every household can afford to eat eggs, a life that was unimaginable before.

Although Prince Dun didn't want fame or fortune, in the hearts of the people, they all wished they could build a shrine for him.

The old man was afraid that he would not be able to see the steward because of his identity, so he drove all the way, made up his mind, and then told Scholar Niu in an orderly manner.

After hearing this, Scholar Niu felt that it was these two scoundrels who were responsible, but how could two scoundrels from two villages dare to set fire to slander King Dun?

As a scholar, he must have more political literacy than the common people below. After the crown prince was restored to power, various gossips in the court continued. Scholar Niu wondered in his heart whether someone was trying to cause trouble.

Anyway, everyone here, including Scholar Niu, never thought that the privileged class could kill and set fire to the whole family just because someone looked at a woman twice.

The car stopped in front of Wuwei Villa, and the old man knocked on the door. After a few knocks, the concierge opened a window, lit a lamp and held it out with a bamboo stick, and shined a light on the two people.

The old man driving the carriage had done a lot of work here, and at least he was familiar with it. The man asked, "What happened?"

The old man bent down very politely and replied, "There was a fire in our village in Xiashanwa today. A pair of grandparents and a few scholars who came to seek refuge were burned to death. I am going to report the case tomorrow, so I thought I would ask a question first.

Ask, is there any hindrance, we are also people who have never seen the world."

The door creaked: "You guys wait, I'll go report."
