Chapter 209: Lin Zhan's Rumors
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the city.
The eldest grandson of the Lin family and the eldest princess of the empire got married, which is a major event that ordinary people rarely encounter in their lives. Lin Tianxiao, the head of the Lin family, was the east and entertained all the people of the imperial capital, which was an unprecedented generosity.
For every ordinary person who can participate in it, this is a beautiful thing with a lot of face.
Lin Tianxiao personally made the east, even if it was a banquet for ordinary people, the specifications would not be too low. If it's too low, don't say that others will look down on the Lin family, even Lin Tianxiao himself will feel ashamed.
Moreover, the royal family and the Lin family have a pivotal position in the Celestial Star Empire, which can be called the supreme existence. The marriage between the two of them was a major event in the entire empire. According to the usual practice, only princes and ministers, emperors and grandchildren are eligible to participate. Even some wealthy businessmen in Beijing are not eligible to participate if the portion is not enough.
As for ordinary people, it is already a blessing to have the opportunity to see it from afar.
Now that the Lin family has invited the people of the imperial capital to a banquet, it can not only let these people feast and eat fat intestines, but also greatly give these people face, so that they can follow the extravagance.
The Lin family, who threw out such a huge fragrant dumpling, immediately won the hearts of hundreds of people. The rumors in the imperial capital can also be regarded as a change in the direction of the wind, from attacking the Lin family in his duty to flattering and touting the Lin family.
For a while, the prestige of the Lin family not only recovered as before, but also went to another level.
As for those who still did not give up and intended to stir up trouble, as soon as they opened their mouths, they were immediately besieged by the surrounding people. In the end, he had no place to stand, so he could only hug his head and run away.
This is the characteristic of ordinary people, who are easy to blindly follow, like to speculate, and as long as there is a little wind and grass, they will immediately turn their eyes to it, plus some well-intentioned people will add fuel to the fire, which can cause an uproar in a very short period of time.
Ordinary people are so lively and easy to get together, which essentially means that they are afraid that the world will not be chaotic. As long as things don't really fall on them, they hope that things can be bigger, so that they can feast their eyes, and they will watch a big show. No matter how bad it is, it can become a talking point to pass the time after dinner. Coupled with the saying that the law does not blame the public, as long as people gather to a certain extent, then they dare to have no scruples.
To deal with these ordinary people, it is actually very simple. Iron-blooded suppression is the most direct, effective, brutal, and easiest way to plant the root cause. In addition, either use absolute facts to shut everyone up, or just like Lin Tianxiao, take out a little benefit to seal everyone's mouths.
For ordinary people, no matter how wonderful the rumors are, they can't really eat a meal in their mouths. The Lin family invited all the people to a banquet, which was to send an invitation to each of the people in the imperial capital. This is the love sent by the Lin family.
Now that the love has arrived, and it is this kind of great joy, the people of the imperial capital are naturally flocking to it, and their attitude towards the Lin family has also taken a 180-degree turn.
No matter what is behind this, and no matter whether the Lin family can really compete with the royal family, this is too far away for the people of the imperial capital. Now the people value the three-day feast.
With this as the center, anyone who conflicts with this will be resisted by all the people.
The rumors about the Lin family were silenced like this, and the Ma family, who commanded the Praetorian Guard, originally wanted to make the matter a little bigger, but it turned out that in the blink of an eye, everyone was singing praises for the Lin family, and no one spread the rumors about the Lin family.
Who are the only few people, the Ma family knows very well, and it is impossible to arrest them at all.
The name of this operation is to sweep away rumors and restore justice to the Lin family. Now that the rumors are gone, and there is no excuse, if the Ma family dares to act recklessly, no one will be hacked for them.
The Ma family naturally knows this, although they are unwilling to stop there, but it is a foregone conclusion. Under the general trend, the small fish and shrimp they arranged can't make any big waves.
So the Ma family could only retreat back like this and give an account to His Majesty the Emperor.
At the same time that the Ma family was depressed, there was also a person in the depths of the Lin family who also felt very depressed.
In Lin Zhan's small courtyard, Lin Zhan, who refused all visitors in the name of recuperating from his injuries, and Lin Zhan, who had never taken half a step out of the Lin family, was sitting upright on a chair. His face is still pale now, and most of the months have passed, although Lin Zhan has not relaxed in the slightest, but the wounds brought to him by Zhang Bo have still not healed.
Now Lin Zhan was frowning, and in front of him, a thick stack of paper was spread.
Looking at the past from Lin Zhan's point of view, the content on the paper can be seen clearly.
"The Lin brothers are at odds with each other and have been fighting with each other for more than ten years......"
"Back then, the Lin family coerced merit to ask for marriage, and the royal family wanted to give marriage to Lin Zhan, but Lin Feng forcibly took it away......"
"Lin Zhan has been talented and intelligent since he was a child, Lin Feng is jealous of his talent, and tries to snatch his fiancée to vent his hatred......"
"Lin Feng snatched Lin Zhan's fiancée, in order to avoid rumors, he has always defended Lin Zhan, pretending to make gestures, and striving for sympathy ......"
"Lin Feng and Lin Zhan have a hatred for taking their wives, but poor Lin Zhan has always been ignorant, and has always regarded Lin Feng as his closest brother......"
"Lin Feng is afraid that Lin Zhan's forces will surpass him, and he has suppressed Lin Zhan for more than ten years. Lin Zhan endured and endured, retreated and retreated, and finally could not bear it, and there was no retreat. The battle with Zhang Jiye is his performance of trying to break through the shackles of Lin Feng and become famous......"
"The contradiction between Lin Feng and Lin Zhan has been superficialized, and the two sides have fought to the death......"
"Lin Zhan rose strongly, intending to defeat Lin Feng and take the position of the head of the Lin family in order to avenge the hatred of his wife......"
The list goes on and on.
There is even a saying in it that when Lin Feng took advantage of Lin Zhan's injuries to recuperate, he secretly killed him. The Lin family said that Lin Zhan was seriously injured and needed to recuperate, and refusing to see the guest was just an excuse for Lin Feng. The Lin family's forces are undergoing a new round of reshuffle.
Seeing this, Lin Zhan had to admit that people's imagination is really unlimited, and they dare to guess anything and say anything.
"Is that all?"
Lin Zhan asked, pointing to the stack of papers in front of him.
Gu Crocodile, who had been standing on the side, immediately replied: "This is just a little organized. These days, the rumors collected by the people under the lowly position are more than ten times more than this, and those contents are even more unbearable than these, so the lowly officials dare not rush to take them. ”
"How many of these rumors did you spread out?"
"Less than one percent of today's lowly subordinates are distributed, and their content is mixed. As for the rest, these are all made up by ordinary people who are idle and casual after hearing it. And only half a month has passed. ”
This result made Lin Zhan couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's really embarrassing for them to be able to make up so many versions." ”
After speaking, Lin Zhan shook his head again, and said with some regret: "However, it's a pity." ”
Gu Crocodile also sighed at this time: "It's a pity. ”
"Well, that's it, so there's no need to think about it. You go down first. ”
"Yes. ”
Gu Crocodile slowly retreated.
After Lin Zhan returned to the Lin family, he was not idle except for recuperating from his injuries. He was also paying attention to various news inside and outside the imperial capital.
After seeing those rumors and the abnormal behavior of the royal family and the Ma family, Lin Zhan also sensed that something was wrong.
But for Lin Zhan, this problem was not a crisis, but an opportunity for Lin Zhan to further disrupt the Heavenly Star Imperial Capital and realize his plan.
Lin Zhan knew that the most terrifying and feared thing about the Lin family was not how huge the Lin family's power was, but that although the Lin family was big, it was monolithic. In such a year, if outsiders want to deal with the Lin family, they can only find a way from the outside.
The royal family used the method of marriage to design Lin Feng and Lin Zhan, and justifiably inserted the nail of the eldest princess into the Lin family, the purpose was to suppress the Lin family from the outside while dividing and disintegrating the Lin family from the inside.
Now Lin Zhan has risen strongly, attracting everyone's attention. They paid attention not only to Lin Zhan's power, but also to the relationship between Lin Zhan and Lin Feng, and between Lin Zhan and the Lin family.
Lin Zhan's line, those people have been operating for several years. Although some smart people had already sensed that Lin Zhan was making a false accusation with them, they still expected some results before they were sure.
Since these people wanted to see the Lin family's discord, Lin Zhan simply fulfilled their wish. Taking advantage of the rumors in the imperial capital, Lin Zhan's Gu crocodile also compiled a lot of rumors and released them together.
Since they wanted to muddy the water of the Lin family, Lin Zhan simply stirred it up a little bigger.
