Chapter 83 There's Something Strange Here
Although Feng Yi was indeed a little dazed at times, as a personal bodyguard, how could he not investigate an unfamiliar environment? This was basic training, and Song Qingci had no doubt about Feng Yi's professionalism in this regard.
If Song Qingci came alone, she would have done it herself. But now, there was someone who could do it for her, so she could save herself the trouble.
Thinking about it this way, Dachen has one more advantage over modern times. It is easier to give up~
"Reporting to my lady, there is something strange in this little Wangzhuang."
Song Qingci wanted to roll his eyes. Why did he need to say this? He had already seen it a long time ago.
"Specific." "Really, he would only answer if she asked him."
"After Xiaoliu and I arrived at the stable, they arranged a small room for us to stay in next to the stable and told us not to go out at will. Food would be delivered every day. After saying this, they left. But there were actually quite a few people staying around the stable."
"And I discovered that there was more than one stable in Xiaowangzhuang. The stable I was taken to only had a few old horses and young horses, not a single adult horse. Out of curiosity, after I and the others left, I avoided the guards and walked west along the stable for about a cup of tea. There was indeed another stable over there. Not only was the area several times larger than the original one, but there were also many valuable horses inside, and some carriages that looked very expensive."
"There are a lot of guards in the manor. Although not as many as the general's manor, it is more than five times more than the average manor. I have already mastered the specific locations and numbers."
"Oh, how are those guards' skills?" Song Qingci felt that he might accidentally cause some trouble.
"Looking at his figure and smell, he is stronger than the average guard, but not as good as the people in our general's mansion." Feng Yi unconsciously became proud.
The people in their Wind Group are definitely the top ones in the guard circle.
Otherwise, how could no one have noticed him when he had already circled the village? This is real strength!
''Apart from these, are there any other discoveries?''
"The head of Xiaowangzhuang and his wives, concubines and children all live in the main courtyard. And it's obvious that they have lived there for many years." Speaking of this, Feng Yi became very angry. His face turned ugly.
The main courtyard of the manor is usually not occupied by people, it is reserved for the owner. Even if the owner does not come once a year, it cannot be occupied.
Not only that, it also needs to be cleaned and swept regularly to keep it clean and hygienic at all times to show respect for the host.
However, the head of Xiaowangzhuang not only lived in the main courtyard himself, but his sons and grandsons also lived in the main courtyard.
The main courtyard was originally the largest courtyard in the entire manor, but now it is filled with their family.
When Yin Xing heard this, her face changed instantly, and she couldn't help but say, "This Xu Chun is so bold! How dare he disregard the master family like this."
Song Qingci was confused and couldn't react.
What's going on?!
It's just a house, why are these two people so angry?
Forgive her for being a modern soul. In her mind, houses are for people to live in. If you don't live there, then he will. This is normal. So she really doesn't understand why Feng Yi and Yin Xing are angry.
"What's wrong with this?" Song Qingci had a question in her mind. She was the kind of person who would not hesitate to ask questions. So she asked it naturally.
"Madam, this is wrong." Yin Xing was like an angry hamster, with puffy cheeks. "This Xiaowang Manor belongs to the General's Mansion, not to the head of the manor, Xu Chun. Therefore, the main courtyard should be vacated for the owner. This is a matter of hierarchy. Not only did Xu Chun move in, but his entire family moved in as well. This is a great disrespect to the owner. To put it more seriously, he doesn't take our General's Mansion seriously."
"Even if the master never comes, we can't stay here, right?" Song Qingci asked.
Yin Xing nodded and said, "Even if the master doesn't come, it can't be taken away."
So that's how it is, Song Qingci understood. She learned something again.
This is a method used by feudal dynasties to strictly draw an insurmountable boundary between superiors and subordinates. If people on both sides abide by it consciously, there will be peace in the world.
Anyone who crosses the line is considered to be rebellious against the Heavenly Gang, which is neither tolerated nor shameful.
No wonder Yin Xing and Feng Yi were so angry. They were from the General's Mansion, so they naturally stood on the side of the General's Mansion. If the General's Mansion was offended, it was almost the same as if they were offended.
"Who is this village head Xu Chun?" Song Qingci felt that the person who dared to so blatantly occupy the main courtyard for himself to live in must have some background, otherwise, he would not be so bold.
Yin Xing actually knew about this. When she learned that she was going to Xiaowangzhuang, she went to inquire about it in advance.
"Xu Chun was one of the servants that the old lady brought with her as a dowry. He had been working in the outer courtyard of the general's mansion before. Because he did a few things well, he won the old lady's favor and was sent to this Xiaowangzhuang to be the head of the mansion. Over the years, he has been sending New Year gifts and surplus silver from the mansion to the general's mansion on time every year. The general's mansion also comes to this Xiaowangzhuang twice a year to buy grain, fruits and vegetables."
"It's my grandmother's people~" After listening to Yin Xing's words, Song Qingci felt that not only Xu Chun, but also the people who came here every year from the General's Mansion to pull things were problematic. Otherwise, how could they turn a blind eye to something so obviously wrong with Xiaowangzhuang? I just don't know who it is.
"It's been so many years, the old lady probably doesn't have much impression of Xu Chun. Although Xu Chun goes to the general's mansion once a year, he doesn't see the old lady every year. Especially in the past few years, the old lady has rarely seen outsiders." Yinxing said his guess.
After following Song Qingci around these days, Yin Xing gradually got to know Song Qingci's temper.
Therefore, she became more daring in speaking out.
Of course, it is not the kind of talk that is made without any reason, but a well-reasoned analysis.
Song Qingci also thought about it. After the Battle of Yicheng, the General's Mansion was reprimanded and the entire mansion became more low-key. It was not until the end of last year when Shan Li finally took Yicheng and came back to marry her that things slowly returned to normal.
However, the abnormality in Xiaowangzhuang definitely did not start three years ago~
