Chapter 19: Fearlessness
Even if the population of the Guogong Mansion is not large, if you want to maintain such a large mansion, the annual expenses are naturally an extremely large number.
And these expenses are spent through the hands of the stewards everywhere.
With so much money in his hand, even if he was afraid of the majesty of his wife in the past at the beginning, the stewards did not dare to be greedy, but after a long time, his wife has always looked like she doesn't want to take care of things, and who else can bear it?
Especially in the following years, after tasting the sweetness, these stewards became more and more bold, and they fished more and more money into their pockets.
It can be said that the net worth of every steward in the Zhenguo Mansion is much richer than that of those five-grade officials in the capital.
It is precisely in this way that this time Wei Fu asked everyone to come to the main courtyard to reply, and Zhao Pozi and others were so unwilling, and even deliberately looked for excuses to avoid seeing them when they knew that the housewife was calling.
The stewards standing in the side hall were also unwilling, but they found out about Manager Liu's unusual attitude, so they followed.
However, when they came, they only felt that even if Madame wanted to take charge of the house again, she would definitely not make any big moves this time, but would only slowly figure it out.
But where would you have thought of it......
Not only did Madame not do it as slowly as they thought, but she made a big move as soon as she made a move?
Moreover, what surprised them the most was Manager Liu.
As the head of the house, Mr. Liu can't get past the stewards everywhere, so over the years, the stewards everywhere think that they have done a good job of managing Mr. Liu.
Otherwise, how could Mr. Liu turn a blind eye to what they have done over the years?
Who would have thought that Manager Liu really didn't care about them, but he saw any of their mistakes and omissions in his eyes, and kept them in his heart, and even told his wife at this time.
Hearing the names of himself and others from the mouth of Manager Liu, the dozen or so stewards only felt as if their hearts were being held tightly by a big hand, their breathing became difficult, and their faces became even more pale.
They all looked at Manager Liu with pleading eyes, hoping that Manager Liu in front of them would feel their gaze and be a little merciful.
But it didn't work, and under their despair, it took nearly half an hour for Manager Liu to finish all the deeds of the more than 20 stewards over the years.
This shows how bold these stewards were.
And Wei Fu, from beginning to end, she only sat upright, and even her complexion did not change at all.
But inexplicably, more than a dozen stewards felt that the air in the room was becoming more and more condensed, making them almost unable to breathe.
"Very good......" After listening to Manager Liu, Wei Fu nodded lightly, and his eyes swept lightly over the faces of the more than ten stewards whose faces were like earth, "You have grown over the years." ”
More than ten years have passed, and there are very few familiar faces among these stewards, most of whom are fresh.
But this is not a reason for these people to deceive their superiors and subordinates, and it is not enough for Wei Fu to let them go like this.
After just one glance, Wei Fu ignored these stewards anymore, and nodded towards Chief Manager Liu: "Liu Yan, pick out the deed of sale of those stewards who didn't arrive today, and find a few more people to drag those people over to me." ”
"Yes." Mr. Liu deserves it very simply.
After answering, Manager Liu picked out the deed of sale of the remaining stewards who wanted to take Qiao's stewardship from the box, and personally ordered a few strong guards, and ordered people to arrest them.
The guards of the Zhenguo Mansion are all under the management of General Liu, these people are not ordinary guards, but all soldiers who have retired from the battlefield, some because there is no one at home, and some are disabled after returning from the battlefield, and finally they all chose to enter the Zhenguo Mansion as guards to continue to protect their homes for their generals.
Although some of the guards were disabled, when it came to bravery, none of the guards in the capital were far inferior to them.
At this time, it is just a matter of letting them bring those stewards over, which is naturally effortless.
In a short time, the guards dragged a dozen stewards to the side hall of the main courtyard.
Manager Liu conveyed Wei Fu's instructions very completely, since he said that he wanted to use dragging, that is, he had to drag them over!
Therefore, when these extremely well-dressed stewards came to the side hall, they were all extremely embarrassed, and where could they still see their previous decency?
Mrs. Zhao and the others were extremely frightened at this time.
Previously, Mrs. called them to the main courtyard to reply, thinking about how they had joined hands to dispel the idea that Mrs. was in charge of the house, thinking that this time was the same as the previous times, and of course Mrs. Zhao and the others would not go to the main courtyard to reply.
If they go to the main house, how can they show their determination?
Therefore, after Mrs. Zhao and the others discussed it, they went home.
As the steward of the Guogong Mansion, Mrs. Zhao's residence is either in the Guogong Mansion or near the Guogong Mansion, and it is extremely convenient to enter and exit.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that not long after they got home, and before they even had a stool or a sip of hot tea, a group of wolf-like guards rushed in, ignoring their scolding, and dragged them to the house.
When they arrived at the destination and saw the lady sitting on the top with an indistinguishable expression, Mrs. Zhao and the others felt weak for a while, but then they straightened their chests again.
Many of them are the sons of the Jiang family, and they have been operating in the mansion for so many years, so it can be said that they have already managed a deeply intertwined relationship, even if they make mistakes and want to clean them up, it is not so easy.
Unless, you want to mess up this country's mansion!
Besides......
Madame has not been in charge of the house for so many years, even if she is interested now, how can she sort out so many things so quickly?
Moreover, judging from the temperament of the lady over the years, it is very likely that they will not have anything to do, but the thunder is heavy and the rain is small, so what is there to be afraid of?
In the final analysis, Mrs. Zhao and others also felt that Wei Fu was easy to bully.
Otherwise, which family would dare to be so arrogant in front of the mistress?
With such a thought in their hearts, Mrs. Zhao and the others were no longer as panicked as before, but broke free from the hands of those guards one by one, first straightened the clothes on their bodies, and waited until it was almost over, and then knelt in front of Wei Fu with a "plop".
"Madame!" Mrs. Zhao still took the lead, "You have to be the master of the old slaves, the old slaves have the trust of the lady, so that they can manage the affairs of that mess, even if there is no merit, there is hard work, but these reckless men rushed into the old slaves' homes indiscriminately, is this to kill the old slaves?" ”
