Chapter 160 Rumors are spreading

The minions who went to Binzhou to pass on the people have not yet returned to Huzhou, but in the past few days in Huzhou City, rumors have long been spreading, and they are inextricably linked.

The people outside chatted after tea and dinner, talking about a love affair between His Royal Highness King Qi and the second girl of the Wei family.

It all started three days ago

It was the second day that Li Yan sent Zhao Falcon to Binzhou, and he took the Wei family brothers and sisters out to visit, originally to find a few tea farmers who had talked about business with Sun Chang in the last year, but he heard such rumors on the road, and walked all the way to the outskirts of the city, he could hear it all the way, people smiled and said, the expression on his face was all mockery, Li Yan was so angry at the moment, the city naturally did not come out again, returned to the inn, and asked Zhao Falcon to check tightly, where did these unbearable words come from!

What are the people of Huzhou preaching this time the Chen family's murder case, the reason why the prefect has been delayed again and again, it is not for anything else, just because the uncle of the Sun family who committed the crime, that is the cousin of the second girl of the Wei family, I didn't see that now even His Royal Highness the King of Qi was also alarmed, and took the uncle of the Wei family and the second girl to Huzhou together, as soon as he entered Huzhou City, he gave the prefect and the Chen family a big dismount, and now the third master of the Chen family is in prison, not to mention, even with the authority to investigate and handle the case, The dignified prefect is useless to speak, whether the person is killed or released, it all depends on the words of His Royal Highness King Qi.

Later, some people said that the second girl of the Wei family was born with the national color and natural fragrance, like the Sun family back then, but between the eyebrows and eyes of this girl, there is no trace of the Wei family's master, in the past when she was in Beijing, the Mrs. Sun because of the posture of the country, that is, she has been married to the Lord Wei for many years, and she still provokes the princes and grandsons of Beijing to fall for it. Master Wei doted on the second girl among many children, not because of how cute and lovely she was, but because this girl's biological father was the king, and it was a preciousness that made Master Wei have to bow his head, so he could only eat this dumb loss and hold the second girl in the palm of his hand.

In the end, Wei Luan and Li Yan became cousins, and it was more ridicule from others, to put it mildly, His Royal Highness the King of Qi, who was high in the beams, was actually a fool, so that people were kept in the dark, and he liked his cousin when he was a child, and he pursued this second girl for all these years, in fact, there would be no good end at all.

And these words are getting more and more intense, and people are going to toss when the Wei family left the capital, so why? If you don't do it, you don't want that dignity, and you don't earn any money, there are many people who do business in Huzhou, and you are an imperial businessman, how much oil and water there is, everyone is like a mirror in their hearts, and the reason why the Wei family gave up these is to let the second girl stay away from the king of Qi, and then mix together.

It's just that no one expected that a few years later, His Royal Highness King Qi invited himself to the fiefdom and chased all the way to Qizhou.

I didn't look at the Wei family now, and they are not very happy to see this matter, it is strange enough, the Wei family is not a family, let alone an official businessman, such a background, the girl in the family has entered the eyes of His Royal Highness the King of Qi, that is their ancestor has accumulated virtue, and the ancestral tomb is going to smoke green, the family does not say that they are in a hurry to accompany the careful, but not salty and indifferent to the King of Qi, what is the reason for this? That is afraid, only they know it in their own hearts.

Such words are indeed unbearable, not to mention what Li Yan thinks in his heart, but only to say that the Sun family has been around for so many years, and these Diao people in Huzhou have no respect for the deceased, so to slander the reputation of others, how can Wei Ziqi and Wei Luan swallow this breath!

Wei Luan was reluctant to leave the inn for three days in a row, and he refused to even see people, so he locked himself in the room, except for three meals a day, Zhao Falcon personally sent him upstairs, and You Zhu opened the door again in the house, and the rest of the time, he didn't even show his face.

Wei Ziqi went to call the door, and Li Yan called the door more, but she didn't see it, and she didn't even want to say a word.

Li Yan was in a hurry, and urged Zhao Ying to investigate.

On this day, Zhao Falcon entered the door of the inn from the outside, the movement was a little big, Li Yan sat in the lobby on the first floor, and when he saw him like this, he stood up.

He was actually nervous, and in the midst of his anger, mixed with a little doubt about the rumors.

In the final analysis, Wei Ziqi's attitude towards him was too strange, and this time Huzhou rumors arose, Wei Ziqi was not only concerned about Wei Luan, but also angry about the damage to Sun's reputation, but it was quite flat.

All this made Li Yan feel uneasy inexplicably, perhaps

No, it can't be.

He put it on the tip of his heart, how could the girl who had been thinking about him for more than ten years become his cousin overnight.

Li Yan's hand hanging down his side clenched: "How is it, what did you find out?" ”

They were talking downstairs, and Wei Luan upstairs could hear them clearly in the house.

She knew in her heart that this was deliberate, knowing that she didn't want to go out or deal with people, Li Yan raised her voice so that she could hear it.

On the side, You Zhu's face was solemn: "Second girl, it's been three days, Your Highness and Uncle are in a hurry, you look at Your Highness, together with Zhao Falcon, you have raised your tone so high, why don't you go out, we don't see anyone outside, just meet Your Highness and Uncle, so that they can be relieved, can it be done?" ”

Wei Luan looked at her sideways, stared at her for a long time, and finally shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to see them, it's not that I'm willful, I have to hang their hearts for me."

There was a choked voice in her voice, and the words naturally paused, causing the two girls to look sideways, and she continued the next words: "This time the rumors outside, you haven't heard it, it's so ugly, even the reputation of the mother has been affected." You Zhu, I really don't have the face to go see my eldest brother and see Li Yan again. In fact, all of this is just affected by me. If I hadn't persuaded me that day, Li Yan might not have come to Huzhou, and if it weren't for my single-minded desire to save my cousin, Li Yan might not have so many plans and calculations. After all the calculations, it has affected everyone. ”

Wei Luan said as he sighed and stood up.

There is a moon window on the west wall, which is half open at this time, she steps over and looks out along the half-opened window, and the bottom is the flower garden in the backyard of the inn.

The corners of Wei Luan's mouth rose a little, hooking an arc, but it was more like self-deprecation: "I have never regretted it like this, and now, I have never been." ”

The girls naturally couldn't hear what she meant, only she knew best, it was the chagrin and regret of the past life and this life combined.

She has repeatedly warned herself that she is idle and lives in peace, if she is not taken by others, she will not implicate the Wei family, and if her father and eldest brother are more cautious, they will not repeat the mistakes of their previous lives.

But when it came to Sun Chang's case, she couldn't calm down, and she didn't expect that the Chen family would dare to act like this.

Isn't it all for her that they have heard all the unbearable words they have heard in the past few days?

In the final analysis, it wasn't Li Yan's fault.

She said it again.

If this matter reaches the capital and reaches His Majesty's ears, it will all become her Wei Luan's fault, and it has nothing to do with Li Yan, no one, and nothing to do with anyone.

Regardless of whether the Chen family maliciously instigated it, in the end, Li Yan went to Huzhou for her, and everything after that was all because of her, and her death may not be enough to calm the anger of the Son of Heaven.

Not to mention the old things involved here

She didn't believe that her mother was that kind of person, but what people said had noses and eyes, and the impact was naturally the reputation of the princes who were in Beijing in the past.

Whether these clan relatives or nobles, their reputation cannot be damaged in the slightest, and this incident is naturally her Wei Luan's fault.

Wei Luan took a deep breath, raised his hand slightly, and closed the open moon window: "It's low, it's not people's hearts, I don't have enough Taoism, I did a few things that I thought I was proud of, and I was a little carried away, I really thought I could calculate everything." ”

You Zhu pursed her lips stiffly: "How could the second girl say such a thing?" Those rumors, none of us will take them seriously, these people's hearts are dirty, disgusting and disgusting. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this should be done by the Chen family, isn't that just trying to pour dirty water on the second girl and His Royal Highness? The second girl thinks like this now, and has been depressed for a long time, isn't it just in line with other people's hearts and in the hands of others? ”

Her persuasion is not unreasonable, and the words of explanation should have made people listen to it, but Wei Luan really doesn't have that mind at the moment.

No matter how dirty the Chen family's mind is, if something happens, then she has to trace back to the source, and this source, even she knows, is herself.

She stood for a long time and didn't speak until the voice downstairs sounded again, she raised her eyebrows, paced back to Luohan's bedside, pulled up her skirt, sat down, closed her eyes, made a short rest gesture, and quietly listened to Li Yan's master and servant talk about the matter.

Zhao Falcon gasped heavily, calmed down for a long time, and then reluctantly replied: "Things are a little weird, originally according to the master's thoughts, this matter should be inseparable from the Chen family, but a few days ago, I also replied to the master's words, I really didn't check the clues, didn't the master order in the second half of yesterday, and asked the idea to pry his mouth from the people serving in the Chen family's house?" ”

As soon as he asked, he paused again, and Li Yan asked in a deep voice: "Asked?" ”

Zhao Falcon first nodded and then shook his head: "Asking is asking people, but the result is not what the master expected." In the past few days, there has also been a commotion in the Chen family's house, and Chen Zhengting has not been angry all day, so he has asked people to inquire everywhere about where these words outside have spread. The servant asked a steward in the Chen family's house, and in their house, he was called the third housekeeper, but he was actually a slippery person, and he was a good gambler, and he owed money and had a deficit, so he stole the Chen family's account to make up for himself, and the slave spent some silver and took some of his shortcomings, but he could hear a few truths. ”

The latter words were more explaining to Li Yan, as if he was afraid that he would not believe it.

In fact, how could Li Yan believe it?

Rumors are spreading, and the benefits to the Chen family will be greater, this case can't be hasty, otherwise it really responds to the legend of others, he is for Wei Luan, even if he cares about people's lives, he will not hesitate to go to Huzhou this time, just to save people, not for the truth.

He originally thought that it would not be easy to find out that the Chen family was spreading rumors, after all, he took the Chen family, and it was not a small crime to slander him as a prince like this.

Chen Zhengting has a son who died, and another is now locked up in the yamen, there is no reason to offend him at this time, is it really disregarding the lives of the Chen family?

But judging from the reaction of heaven, Chen Zhengting is bound to be unwilling, and if he is not reconciled, he must secretly do something to put pressure on him.

Therefore, after thinking about it, it should be the Chen family who is making trouble behind their backs.

But now Zhao Falcon said that even Chen Zhengting is investigating with great fanfare, to find out who spread the rumors that have caused the city to be stormy.

Is this a show to him?

Li Yan's eyebrows frowned: "When did you start investigating?" These days? Or did you start checking the rumors outside? If he wants to say it, he should know it in his heart, and I will definitely send someone from the Chen family to find out where these rumors come from. Zhao Falcon, you say, did Chen Zhengting show me, or did he really not know about it? ”

Zhao Ying rolled twice in his throat: "Since the master asked, the slave didn't dare not reply, if the slave was asked to say, I'm afraid Chen Zhengting really didn't know." In fact, at the beginning of the fight, the minions were thinking, is the Chen family really so dead? If you annoy your master for this, and you really turn your face and deny people, even if there is no evidence, you will first take their family to ask for the guilt, where will they distinguish and reason? In the end, only their family will benefit, and you will be the only one who will be questioned about the guilt of the uncle, and it will not be regarded as a nameless teacher. Chen Zhengting didn't seem to be so unsuccessful. ”

"Then what do you mean, he really doesn't know, and he's really anxious, I'm afraid that someone will take this opportunity to pour dirty water on him and make me annoy him, so it's better to deal with him?"

Zhao Ying hesitated for a moment, and nodded in the end: "You think, the Chen family has been dominant in Huzhou for many years, and when it comes to doing tea business, there are all in the territory of Daliang, and how many people are in the way of their family, I'm afraid even Chen Zhengting himself can't count them." In fact, I have already offended you this time, and it is not impossible if someone really takes the opportunity to fan the flames. ”

can be said to fan the flames and take the opportunity to bring down the Chen family

Li Yan's pupils shrank, and Wei Ye's face appeared in front of his eyes.

He was shocked, Wei Ye?

"But Zhao Falcon, in the past, what kind of people can talk about in Beijing with a nose and eyes?" He squinted, inadvertently swept the direction of Wei Luan's room on the second floor, and then lowered his voice again, "You send two people back to the capital, I want to know whether Mrs. Sun was in the capital back then, whether it was really as rumored." I only know that Wei Ye tried to gain a foothold in Shangjing at that time, but I never knew whether his original wife had ever shown up for him and ran around, you go to check, you have to carry people behind your back, and no one is allowed to be alarmed. ”
