With Xie Hong's power, taking a eunuch with no grade out of the palace is not even a matter, Gu Dayong and a eunuch like Ma Yongcheng are doing chores there, not to mention that the third father-in-law is not even a eunuch?

The only one who reacted the most to this was Liu Jin.

Seeing that another enemy had the possibility of turning over, Liu Jin was naturally very unwilling, but he was unwilling to be unwilling, but he had no way at all, and now was not the time for him Liu Gonggong to call for wind and rain.

Regarding Xie Hong's approach, he didn't even dare to speak out against it in person, so he could only clean up his godson behind his back and get angry, who made this kid can't look down on the enemy every time, and is found by others one after another to find a chance to turn over?

And the third father-in-law did not live up to Xie Hong's expectations, and on the second day, a "Secret Story of the Imperial City" was freshly released. After all, the third father-in-law is from a professional class, so this joke is different from the previous story of Hou Defang, which is more than interesting and lacks literary talent, and it is both.

There are both detailed descriptions and exaggerated renderings, and the plot suspense is even more ups and downs. In addition, the rhetorical decoration in the story is also very good, after each paragraph, there are corresponding poems to suit the situation, although it is not a good sentence, but it is enough to cater to the tastes of the people in the capital.

So, soon, Houdefang once again became the center of the capital, and other teahouses and Qinglou also sent people to steal teachers and learn arts, and they followed suit. What kind of current review is the most attractive? Of course, it's the most time-sensitive surname.

Although Hou Defang's current commentary did not name the characters, when Scholar Xie left the palace yesterday, his disheveled clothes and disheveled sideburns were seen by many people, including courtiers, eunuchs, palace maids, janissary soldiers, and even many servants of various families.

Once there are too many people, it's nonsense to keep it secret or something, even the power of the university scholar can't stop the spread of rumors at all, everyone thinks in their hearts, if they don't say it, others will say it, anyway, the university scholar can't catch people, no matter how high the official is, what's the use?

What's more, when it comes to gossip, the more famous the person, the more interesting it is, if it is a person that everyone doesn't know, even if there is more gossip on him, what fun can he say? In the Ming Dynasty, no one summarized this truth, but everyone knew it, or how to say that practice brings true knowledge?

Before, there were many rumors in Shilin that Xie Hong was a betrayal of men, so he won Zhengde's favor, which was quite unbearable. This rumor also had a very wide audience, and Xie Hong was also helpless at that time, and the scholars had already pulled down their masks and carried out personal attacks, and he had no way to clarify.

Of course, Xie Hong from the later generations of course doesn't care, in the later generations, as long as people are famous, there will be good and bad things, the greater the fame, the more various evaluations, if you take it seriously, then you have to die of anger?

Not only does he not care, but Zhengde also doesn't care, on the one hand, he is open-minded; On the other hand, Zhu Houzhao has to be pointed at by thousands of people almost every day, he has long been used to it, and his motto was originally: go your own way and let others say go.

However, it is precisely because of such rumors that what happened to Xie Qian this time will develop in this direction, and it is natural. There were already a lot of misunderstandings caused by Xie Qian's matter, and because of the rumors on Xie Hong, many people's thoughts became evil, so Xie Qian was unlucky, or his reputation was unlucky.

"Do you know, Scholar Xie was ...... by the emperor, "Someone caused a topic;" Why don't you know, I heard that Scholar Xie called it a miserable one at the time! "Someone started gossiping;" You both don't know, do you? Scholar Xie was full of the emperor's little for half an hour, and I heard that there are things made by the plague god to help the fun! "There are even more people who break the news.

"Wow! That's right! It's so intense! In the end, everyone was amazed.

Such conversations can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys of the capital, and the more various topics are spoken, the more outrageous they become, and Xie Qian's reputation is becoming more and more unbearable. Later, the topic even began to spread to the other two ministers, and there was a tendency to spread to the six departments and nine qings.

After all, the last time Nanzhen Fusi scolded Liu Shangshu, there seemed to be such a rule; scolded Han Shangshu later, it seems that there are also, since there are both the military department and the household department, plus the current scholar Xie University, then the other adults should not be an exception, right?

Although Xie Qian closed his door to thank guests, the rumors outside still reached Xie Mansion, and then into his ears. There is no way to know what happened, but the well-informed ones all said: the next day, Xie Fu bought a lot of dishes, cups and plates, added some new furniture, and invited many doctors, even several doctors.

Regardless of whether Scholar Xie smashed something by the way, or accidentally smashed himself, in short, Scholar Xie changed from the original fright to anger, and he couldn't get up for a while. Even if he can get up, I'm afraid the old man won't go out, and he will lose face, even if he wants to go out, he has to avoid the limelight.

Xie Qian complained of illness, and the other courtiers were also quite discouraged, and those messy rumors were the most difficult to prevent. It's definitely not okay to arrest people, not to mention whether you can catch them or not, even if you catch a few, what can you do? There are many people who spread the word, and if you make things bigger, won't it add fuel to the fire?

can only wait for things to pass slowly, and those boring people around will soon lose interest and change the topic. Things are indeed developing like this, no matter how interesting a topic is, after saying it several times, it will be boring. Unless things take a new turn.

A few days later, just as the heat of this topic was dissipating, Hou Defang dropped another bombshell, this is a new story, called: "Travels in the Little Black House". According to the introduction, the story is about a pedantic old man who reads poetry and books, and an ignorant teenager who travels in a small dark house together, and the different endings of the two sides.

Although he didn't name him, many people with a keen sense of smell smelled it, isn't this Scholar Xie and the emperor? The place they entered together was called the Little Black House, and after they came out, the ending was just like the story, could it be that the Little Black House was not that kind of place, it was another mystery?

What kind of place is the little black house? As a result, another suspense was formed, and the result, of course, was that Houdefang was full again, and the grand occasion even exceeded the first few days of opening. The two retired pens: Xie Hong and Ma Ang are both sighing, and the suspense is the most attractive.

Because of the attention of Hude Place, no one noticed that a strange building had quietly been built in the Royal Park. This building is weird, except for a gate, there is no portal, it is really strange.

It wasn't until someone heard the story and was frightened by the lifelike ghosts in the story, but they longed for it, that someone noticed that the strange building was very similar to the little black house in the story. Someone had the audacity to ask, and naturally got a positive answer.

That's the little black house! It's a terrible little black house, a little black house that can scare even the scholars of the dynasty! The news spread throughout the capital immediately, and many people came to the Royal Park with apprehension and yearning, wanting to see this legendary little black house, and even more daring, wanting to try it for themselves.

The celebrity effect is universal in any era, and the celebrity effect of Little Black House is amazing!

The first small black house was built in the West Garden of the Imperial City, which means that it is a thing that the emperor likes, and the things that the emperor will like are generally very interesting, which has formed a consensus in the capital; secondly, there is also the experience of the scholars in the court as a footnote, which adds a layer of mystery to the small black room; In the end, the most important thing is that the little black house is obviously from Xie Hong's hand, and it was built by Zhenbao Zhai, and it must be a high-quality product! This sentence is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Beijing.

Therefore, although the small black house is marked with a fee, the fee is quite high; It also shows that it is terrible inside, and it is not responsible for being scared out of any problem, but people are still flocking to it.

Isn't it just spending some money and being a little frightened? As long as you are not as miserable as Scholar Xie, you will be able to brag everywhere after you come out: your cultivation is higher than that of Scholar!

"Brother Xie, the people in the capital are so weird, just to go into that haunted house, go in and scream, when they come out, they are all scared with blue faces and white lips, and it is not a good enjoyment, why are you willing to spend so much silver? What a loser! I want to ...... when I was in Xuanfu"

In the private seat on the second floor of Houde Fang, Ma Ang was looking out by the railing, listening to the constant screams coming from the small black room, looking at the long queue outside, his words were sick again, and he chattered endlessly.

"You don't know anything, this is called excitement!" Xie Hong was writing and drawing on the paper, and replied without raising his head.

"What a thrill, isn't this just nothing to blame? However, this little black house is really profitable, and it made a few hundred taels in one afternoon. Maang pursed his lips, expressed his disdain, and sighed again.

"It's not about making money, or it's not just about making money." Xie Hong shook his head.

"Also, hundreds of thousands of taels a day, it's really not in your eyes, Brother Xie." Ma Ang laughed at himself, a few hundred taels a day is the first few days, and it will slowly decrease in the future, and in a year, I am afraid that even a project of Zhenbao Zhai cannot be compared, it is indeed nothing.

You know, today's VIP customization, that is, the current project department, has long been not as deserted as at the beginning, almost every day there are door-to-door consultations, from time to time there will be orders down, has become the most profitable department of Zhenbao Zhai.

"Making money is one thing," Xie Hong put down the pen in his hand, rubbed his eyebrows, and explained: "On the other hand, in order to maintain popularity, people like the new and hate the old, always maintain a pattern, and soon someone will get tired of it, and constantly having new ideas to attract customers is the king, in addition, ......"

"Besides?" Maang was in high spirits.

"This little black house can also be regarded as a small battlefield for us to compete with Confucianism." Xie Hong said meaningfully: "Isn't Confucianism despised for everything? I feel that after reading the books of the saints, I am omnipotent, I am not afraid of heaven and earth, and I am not afraid of ghosts and gods, and today I want to let people know that in fact, what the scholars and doctors say is just nonsense. If it is true that if you are familiar with the books of the sages and sages, you will not be invaded by all evils, how can a scholar be frightened by these wooden and iron things? ”

"But when people know the mystery inside, they won't be afraid?" Maang was puzzled.

"Ha," Xie Hong said with a smile, "I'm not planning to scare the Confucian disciples into not studying, that kind of thing can't happen." I just want ordinary people to experience it, anyway, the news that Xie Qian was intimidated has spread all over the capital, and everyone who has walked through the small black house will probably have to say it again afterwards. After all, he is a scholar and the highest representative of scholars, and after the people hear too much, their respect for scholars will naturally decrease. ”

"Oh!" Ma Ang suddenly realized and praised: "Brother Xie is really far-reaching! ”

"It's just a trail, the key is to have strength." Xie Hong shook his head and said leisurely: "Brother Ma, I'll go back to the Ordnance Division, and I'll hand it over to you here." ”
