Long Baoer and his party arrived at their destination in half an hour as they hurried on.
The steward who was guarding here had been waiting impatiently for a long time. He checked several times and finally saw a torch, and then hurried to meet it.
Once you enter Long Baoer's fiefdom, you will be completely safe.
Because it is a fief, it not only has land and jurisdiction, but can also raise troops.
Although the quantity is very small.
This was also the reason why the Manchu ministers strongly opposed it.
But they couldn't defeat the emperor and the empress. The young prince happily chose a small fiefdom for his sister, and watched with pleasure as his father stamped the edict with a jade seal.
Now that these soldiers have been arranged to come in, it is absolutely safe here.
But it was too late, and it was pitch dark outside, with only a few torches shining brightly. Ning and Cao took the children back to the house.
The house is very big, although it is not as big as the Chang family, and it is not as good as the general's house. But for a little girl, that was big enough.
Every room in the third-in house has been tidied up.
But several children have to get together.
The children were still young and liked to get together, so the old lady let them go.
It's just that the boys and girls are still separated in two adjacent small courtyards, and each has an older maid to take care of them, so as to prevent the children from changing places and suddenly getting scared in the middle of the night.
The children were still playing around at first, but after taking a bath and getting on the kang, they all fell asleep in a short time.
The old lady and her two daughters-in-law came over secretly to have a look. They were relieved to see that the children were sleeping soundly.
The old lady turned around and waved to Butler Chen, "Yan'er, come here!"
Both sons are not around, so Butler Chen is the one who can take charge of the family.
After receiving the order, we quickly arranged the manpower and even wrote a letter for them to take with them.
As the so-called seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, although he was only the housekeeper of the Chang family, he had been with the Chang family brothers since he was a child. He also went to the battlefield with the old uncle when he was a boy. He was also quite famous in Beijing back then.
However, in the past ten years, Butler Chen has gradually taken over some of the affairs of his father's housekeeper. He is mainly responsible for Mrs. Chang's business that requires traveling outside.
Therefore, in recent years, Butler Chen has become more famous in other states and counties than in Beijing.
So his souvenirs are very useful.
It is enough to leave these matters to Butler Chen.
The next morning, the news came back. When everyone was having breakfast together, Butler Chen stood next to the old lady, bending down and telling her everything he had investigated one by one.
The old lady's face looked normal at first, but then it became increasingly ugly.
Finally, he slammed the table and said, "How audacious! They are so brave!"
Several little beans on the table were startled and looked at each other.
Normally, the old lady is somewhat majestic in the eyes of the children, but now that her face is downcast, everyone is even more afraid to say anything.
That is to say, Long Baoer blinked, suddenly got up and reached the old lady's side, stretched out his little hand to rub the old lady's chest, and said with a milky voice, "Grandma, don't be angry, get angry with the bad people, you will suffer the consequences if you are so angry! "
The old lady let out a long sigh, "Grandma is not angry. Did she scare you just now?"
Several little guys shook their heads.
"Yan'er, try your best to collect evidence, don't touch them yet." The old lady said in a deep voice, "I want to see how many people can be involved in this case!"
"Yes, Yan'er knows." Butler Xiao Chen bowed and stepped back.
After the children finished eating, they said something to the old lady and ran away.
When we arrived yesterday, it was completely dark. They're going to take a good look today.
Naturally, Ning couldn't catch up with them and quickly arranged for two capable maids, and asked them to go out with a few servants and guards to take care of the safety of the young ladies and young masters.
Mrs. Cao was worried and followed her. There was her son and a daughter there. Although they were not her biological children, from the perspective of etiquette, they were her direct relatives.
And after being together for so long, we have developed a bit of friendship. Mr. Cao is easy to be emotional, whether it is good or bad depends on how he handles it.
So seeing her chasing after her, the old lady and Ning did not stop her.
There was no one else in the room, so Ning couldn't help but say, "Mom, what happened yesterday..."
This is her eldest daughter-in-law, who will also be the mistress of this uncle's house in the future. The old lady did not hide it from her and told her the story.
It turns out that young housekeeper Chen is very resolute in his work. After leaving the old lady's place yesterday, he had already arranged for some people to go to Linfu's prison, while others went to investigate the so-called Guan family.
Butler Xiao Chen is in charge of the old lady's business outside and has quite a few connections. Although most of the connections are among businessmen who come and go, business has always involved dealing with officials, so the connections in the government are also very good.
Moreover, these connections never knew the relationship between them and Zhenyuan Bofu, and they only thought they were ordinary imperial merchants.
Therefore, when trading power and money with each other, some things are known and kept secret.
Naturally, I don't talk about things that endanger myself, but everyone will talk about things that have nothing to do with me.
Not to mention that the Guan family has acted very ostentatiously in the past two years, so many people have added insult to injury and talked about their evil deeds.
