Chapter 288: Rumors
The steward of the Tang Mansion was stunned, raised his head and looked at Tang Yuan, his face full of puzzlement.
"Sir?"
The steward was puzzled: "How can this matter be a good thing, and the old slave is just a subordinate person, where can there be any opinion, the old man must not torture the old slave." ”
After the steward finished speaking, he lowered his head slightly.
"How many people are spreading today?"
Tang Yuan chuckled, ignored his words, and continued to ask.
"It was only early this morning that the rumors began to spread in the streets, and they have not yet spread in Hanzhou City, and I think that the adults will send someone to stop this kind of false rumors in the coming year. ”
The steward thought for a moment and whispered.
He heard about this outside the mansion early this morning, and it was indeed a bit shocking.
Such remarks must be ill-intentioned.
Nothing good at all.
Therefore, he hurried back to report to Tang Yuan.
"Do you know who's passing the story?"
Tang Yuan asked.
The steward said respectfully: "When the old slave heard about this, he was worried that there would be other changes, so he immediately rushed back to report to the lord. ”
"Then do you think it's possible that Lord Nian and Lord Zhu really joined forces with Hanzhou Wulin to kill Lord Bai as they were rumored?"
Tang Yuan suddenly smiled, but the words he said made the steward's heart sink.
Wrong!
Since he said the news, the old man seems to have been indifferent.
It stands to reason that if Lord Zhu and Lord Nian are slandered, it will damage the reputation of the six doors.
This is not supposed to be the attitude of the master.
The steward of the Tang Mansion was puzzled, his thoughts turned back and forth, and he guessed in his heart what Tang Yuan's attitude was towards this matter.
After pondering for a long time, the steward said: "This matter is purely made up by people with ulterior motives, all to slander Lord Nian and Lord Zhu, and the old slave thinks that there is no credibility at all. ”
"Really?"
Tang Yuan's face was expressionless, noncommittal, and he glanced at the spirited housekeeper calmly, and suddenly said, "You were sent by Nian Mingcheng." ”
What the?
Hearing this, the steward was shocked, a little sweat appeared on his forehead, his heart sank to the bottom, and at the same time, his face also showed a look of fear, and he immediately knelt on the ground and said in a panic: "How can the old slave be an old man, the old man is really wronged." ”
He didn't expect Tang Yuan to suddenly ask such a question, and he was so frightened that he was terrified.
He is indeed not a young and honest person.
However, he obeyed Nian Mingcheng.
This was still before Tang Yuan entered Hanzhou.
Therefore, I didn't expect to be seen by Tang Yuan.
However, Tang Yuan ignored him, and said to himself: "You were indeed not Nian Mingcheng's person at the beginning, why did you become his person later? Could it be that Tang Mou treated you badly, your case money is a lot, several times more than the money in other mansions in Hanzhou City, and you are not satisfied, you really raised a white-eyed wolf." I didn't expect that someone in my Tang would also be betrayed one day, but it reminded me of this. ”
It's like asking the steward, and it's like asking oneself and answering oneself.
It was precisely like this, hearing Tang Yuan's words, the steward was shocked to the extreme, and he slowly became afraid of Tang Yuan.
He didn't know when he was exposed.
He hasn't been in contact with Nian.
Unexpectedly, it was discovered by Tang Yuan.
His purpose in the Tang Mansion was to keep an eye on Tang Yuan's daily life, or some secret matter, and report it to Lord Nian every once in a while.
During this time, apart from Tang Yuan's ordinary practice and going out, there was nothing else special.
Therefore, the steward had never contacted Nian Mingcheng, and somehow he would be noticed by Tang Yuan.
"Forget it, what is there to say to you, an acquired realm martial artist. ”
As soon as Tang Yuan remembered that the other party was still an acquired realm martial artist, he shook his head slightly and felt bored, and pointed his hands together as a sword, and lightly pointed out.
In the eyes of the steward, this sword is extremely slow.
Slow like a toddler old man.
Laugh at!
The steward was stunned, his pupils contracted suddenly, and he didn't even have time to think.
He didn't expect to die like this.
Let the subordinates carry away the body of the steward and throw it to the mass grave, and ignore it.
This steward is the person who was installed by Nian Mingcheng.
He didn't have any strength, obviously afraid of being detected by him.
At the same time, Nian Mingcheng may not have any hope for him, which is equivalent to better than nothing.
It would be better if you could get some news from him, and there would be nothing to lose if you didn't get it.
Tang Yuan also killed him today, so as not to be an eyesore, and it had no effect on him.
Subsequently, Tang Yuan sent someone out to inquire about the news.
And he didn't do anything.
Instead, he continued to stay in the mansion, ignoring this sudden rumor.
......
At this time, in the Liumen Mansion, Nian Mingcheng and Zhu Gaozhuo gathered together, with a gloomy look on their faces, and they were about to drip water.
For a moment, there was silence in the lobby.
Neither of them spoke, as if they were waiting for something.
Not long after, a catcher quickly ran in and reported: "The two adults of Qiqi, for the time being, we have not found out who is spreading the rumors, but the only thing that is certain is that it doesn't seem to have been worn from Hanzhou City, as if it came from outside." ”
"So, it's already well known?"
Zhu Gaozhuo had a hot temper, and when he heard this, he smashed the table next to him with one palm, and said angrily.
Seeing this, Nian Mingcheng glanced at him quite dissatisfied, waved his hand at Xiao Yu to let him go down, and said to Zhu Gaozhuo in a deep voice: "Why should Brother Zhu be angry, this matter is obviously deliberately done by someone, wanting to frame you and my brothers." ”
"Hmph, who eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, dares to slander you and me. ”
Zhu Gaozhuo's eyes widened, looked at Nian Mingcheng and said, "Brother Nian, what do you think about this matter?"
"Haha, just wait and see what happens, and the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth. ”
After weighing the pros and cons, Nian Mingcheng probably knew what the impact of this matter would be, so he didn't have much to worry about, and it was the right thing to do now to wait and see what happened, so as not to fall first.
"Brother Nian, you and I have been slandered, so we don't do anything?"
Zhu Gaozhuo frowned and said: "Wouldn't this make people look down on you, and you and I dare not speak out in anger." ”
"Brother Zhu, what impact do you think this matter will have on you and me?"
Nian Mingcheng smiled, didn't care about Zhu Gaozhuo's words, and suddenly asked.
Zhu Gaozhuo thought for a while and said: "Slandering the reputation of you and me is naturally influential, if Lord Yi Yi takes it seriously, then you and I will not be able to save our lives." ”
Unauthorized murder of Shangguan is a felony in Six Gates.
They couldn't escape their lives.
Nian Mingcheng disagreed, shook his head and said: "Brother Zhu's words are wrong, Nian thinks that such baseless rumors have no effect on you and me, and I believe that Master Lu will not believe it, so the most important thing to do now is to wait and see what happens."
Since we slandered you and me with rumors, I believe there will be a next step, waiting for the move, but first we must find out who is spreading the rumors. ”
Zhu Gaozhuo thought carefully about Nian Mingcheng's words, and felt that there was a little bit of reason, so he couldn't help but nodded.
