It was almost 6 o'clock in the afternoon and it was not all dark yet.

The street lights next to the streets in Shangcheng District have already started.

These street lights are naturally not electric lamps, but kerosene lamps, which are two meters high.

The special light lighting staff is responsible for lighting, changing and other work every evening, making the night in the upper city much brighter.

As for electric lights, there are actually some.

But it has not yet been popularized to the point of entering the public sphere.

There are electric lights for residential buildings in the Shangcheng area and some private houses in the Zhongcheng area.

For example, there are two walls beside the door of the Baron's mansion.

The leaking through the iron gate makes people see clearly even in the dark.

Needless to say it's evening now.

Xia Yanzhen stood outside the door and looked inside. He could see that there were many lights outside the third-floor villa of Baron Bart, which had been turned on.

It emits a light that is brighter than a kerosene lamp, illuminating the surroundings.

Because both of them were wearing patrol uniforms, the bodyguards saw it clearly and were not worried that they were gangsters, so they came out to ask directly.

The policeman who came with Xia Yanzhen explained his purpose.

The bodyguard frowned. Is there such a thing?

They didn't know about this, so they went to the villa alone.

After a while, a middle-aged man with an arrogant and angry look was followed by.

When I saw the middle-aged man, relevant information emerged.

Xia Yanzhen knew that this person was the coachman last night.

"I'm leaving, you're asking for good luck." "Escort" The police officer who came from Xia Yanzhen turned around and left when he saw this scene. His mission had been completed, but he didn't want to step into this muddy water.

Xia Yanzhen didn't care either.

"How dare you come here!"

The coachman Moore came over and looked at Xia Yanzhen and scolded him loudly.

Xia Yanzhen looked at him and suddenly smiled: "I'm here to apologize."

"Get out! Don't think I don't know what you are thinking!" Moore said without saying a word and was about to push Xia Yanzhen.

Xia Yanzhen avoided the body: "Aren't you the person who came to Granchang to complain during the day? I'm here to apologize now. Are you guilty if you want to drive someone out?"

There is a lot of sarcasm in his tone.

"What nonsense!" Moore was furious and was about to hit his fist.

"do what!"

At this time, a sound came from behind, causing Moore's fist to stop in the air.

"Butler Bernard." Moore immediately turned around and rushed to the scene. His temples were slightly white. Given the greeting of the middle-aged and old man, his face was filled with a flattering and pleasing smile.

Butlers usually have a high status in such families.

Many nobles depend on the butler as much as the crutch of a crutch, and they cannot be separated from a moment.

The older the nobles, the more they are.

The new nobles are much better, but Baron Baron Bart also relies very much on Butler Bernard.

"You are the patrolman who scared the horse last night?" Bernard ignored Moore and looked at Xia Yanzhen and asked.

"No, I was the unlucky guy who accidentally fell last night." Xia Yanzhen said, changing his words.

He already understood what was going on.

The horse was frightened last night. In order to evade responsibility, the coachman Moore made up a lie that it was Xia Yanzhen's whistle caused.

Maybe it was to make it more realistic and appear innocent, and he even came to Granchang to scold him.

As Baron Bart, if such a thing really happens, the coachman will scold the patrolman and let the patrolman receive some punishment, which is nothing.

But Moore didn't know the "close relationship" between Baron Bart and Granchang.

Granchang attaches great importance to it and does not care about face issues. He directly sends people over and lets Moore backfires.

Bernard knew the elegant meaning when he heard the string song, looked at Xia Yanzhen and asked, "What do you mean is that you are not shocked?"

"The horse was startled first. I blew the spoon and wanted to pull it, but unfortunately I fell and fainted."

"Nonsense!" As soon as Xia Yan finished speaking, Moore angrily rebuked, and then looked at Bernard in a panic, "Butler, now I'm lying!"

“…”

Bernard glanced at Moore coldly.

Compared with the different attitudes of both sides, he already had an answer in his mind.

"You went to Gran Yard during the day?" asked Bernard.

Of course, there is more than one coachman in the Baron's mansion, and it is not too restricted to the entry and exit of Moore and others.

But he never thought that Moore went to Grand Court to sue.

This incident happened a little embarrassed both sides.

Moore nodded with a tough bullet: "Because... because... the lady was shocked, I was so angry--"

"Hmph." Bernard snorted coldly, "Come in."

He interrupted Moore.

It's not a place to talk outside.

Because of Jack the Ripper, now all families are well protected and bodyguards are there at the door.

Moore yelled, already attracting attention.

Often, new nobles pay more attention to face than old nobles.

It is impossible to be noisy on the street or at the door like an ordinary person.

While Bernard turned around and went back, he had some conspiracy in his heart. Now, for the sake of the baron's face.

This innocent patrolman must be punished.

After all, the matter of disturbing horses was "true", and Moore has been promoted by him. If he does not punish, he will appear to be weak and bullied.

Of course, because this person is indeed innocent, the punishment should not be too severe, so it is only a matter of peeling off the skin of his body.

When the matter comes to an end, Moore will be punished privately.

In the eyes of the superiors, they are nothing, but on the contrary, they need dog legs.

Bad, it doesn't matter.

But the dog is stupid and bad, and it will cause trouble to the owner, so it won't work.

Moore exposed his stupid and bad side.

This dog cannot be kept, it is basic to break the leg and throw it out.

The rest depends on the baron's meaning.

Bernard took the two to a small room and asked them to wait, and went to find Baron Bart himself.

He had a certain plan in his mind, but he would not make any decisions and needed the Baron's approval.

Soon Baron Bart nodded in agreement with Bernard's approach.

The real punishment for Xia Yan is to be dismissal.

The punishment for Moer must be postponed. After ten days and half a month, after the matter is completely calmed down, interrupt Moer's legs, cut off his tongue, and find an excuse to expel him from the mansion.

This is the real punishment.

After receiving the order, Bernard returned to the small room and said to Xia Yanzhen: "You go back to Granchang and resign as patrolman, and the matter will be revealed."

"Hmm?" Xia Yan was a little confused, "What does it mean?"

"The Baron is generous and doesn't want to hold anyone else accountable. If you take off your uniform, the matter will end here. Do you understand?" Bernard looked at Xia Yanzhen with a expressionless face.

Moore next to him could not hide his smile.

"Oh, I understand." Xia Yanzhen suddenly realized.

He understood that it was just a mistake.

I know you were wronged.

But when it was reported, Baron Yu's reputation was damaged - he was not strict in his subordinates, was deceived by his subordinates, etc.

So, it’s you who are wrong, you have to pay the price.

"If you understand, go, go back, and you can also go back." Bernard waved his hand, and said to Moore in the next half of the sentence.
