Chapter 4874: Return to Qing Dynasty 294
He went in and told the steward, which of course also alerted the guards.
After all, Yuan Wense sleeps here, and there must be a group of guards patrolling here who won't sleep at night.
There happened to be a guard who had followed Yuan Wense out during the day. It was not his turn to be on duty that night, but it happened that a brother had changed his shift, so when he heard it, he was distracted.
He stepped forward and said to the steward: "You guys need to stabilize this matter first and ask about the situation. I'll report it later."
After the guard finished speaking, the housekeeper said yes again and again.
Logically speaking, housekeepers must have greater authority than guards, but most housekeepers actually respect guards very much.
You must know that most of the guards of the Lao Shi family are Manchus and have good family backgrounds. Their families are all small nobles or descendants of big nobles, which means they are children of poor families.
The children of poor families are a general term for the lowest level of the world, and they are also nobles. They are not poor families as we often think of them now. Poor people can only be poor people, which are several levels different from poor families.
The guards all have a bright future, and they might become famous one day.
As for ordinary butlers, they are basically servants, and few are aristocrats. They can only be promoted according to the path of junior steward to big steward. Of course, those who are truly promoted to the level of chief steward are another matter.
When the housekeeper heard this greeting from the guard, he secretly cheered up and welcomed the two people outside the door. He greeted them politely. Seeing that they were a little cold, he asked the cook to get up quickly and put on hot water.
Desserts or something.
Scholar Niu was talking here, but he did not dare to go too far, so he and the old driver talked about what happened today and his guesses.
Only then did the housekeeper realize that things were a bit serious.
It's still strange why some people think that setting fire to the Prince's Palace of Laiton County can be desecrated. To be honest, their master's temper is not superficial. For so many years, no one has dared to bully her so blatantly.
When the housekeeper knew the news, he quickly went to the backyard to find the master.
Fortunately, Yuan Wense's family is managed in an orderly manner. Even if there is an emergency, it is clear who should be contacted and who is responsible for which part.
Not long after, Lao Shi was quarreled and went to the front yard. Yuan Wense turned over and continued to sleep. She had long forgotten what happened during the day and went to the other side of the mountain.
When Lao Shi heard the news, he couldn't understand it at first.
Why would someone set fire to his family at night after his bodyguards rescued four scholars, saying it was his family? This logic doesn't make sense.
He was a rough and tumble person, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't figure it out. He frowned and pondered: "What reason do the people in this county and the prince's palace have to send people to set fire? The steward, is there any conflict between the villa and this village recently?"
The housekeeper quickly knelt down and swore that it was absolutely not the case. These villages all regarded the master as a living Buddha, and he himself was even more careful not to taint his master's wisdom. How could anyone have any resentment?
An aide next to Lao Shi said: "I heard that during the day, the master and his wife Fujin, the master of Jiubele, were racing horses together. Do you want to confront Jiu..."
He meant to attack the legitimate son in Jiu Fujin's belly. Although no one knows what the conspiracy is at present, it is certain that if this person dares to kill several scholars, his intentions are certainly not small.
When Lao Eleven thought about the relationship between his family members, he immediately cheered up.
