Chapter 52: Outrageous Rumors
"She's smart."
Today's opportunity was Pei Zheng who tested her, but it turned out to be Pei Zheng's expectation, Jiang Mingzhi took advantage of his absence to find the clues he left behind.
"But only by staying out of the matter can she be safe."
Pei Zheng doesn't understand this truth, but no matter what the result is, this is also Jiang Mingzhi's choice.
Seeing this, Dingguo Hou had no choice but to suppress the sigh in his throat, and left with a bow at Pei Zheng.
After Jiang Mingzhi went out of the study, she thought that if she had the list in hand, maybe she would be able to take the opportunity to continue to investigate, but now in order not to startle the snake, the list was put back in place by her, and there was another copy in her mind.
Looking around, there was no pen, ink, paper and inkstone in her room, so she had no choice but to go to the study again.
"My lord, I heard that practicing words is the best way to cultivate one's self-cultivation, and I have nothing to do in the past few days, I don't know if I want to practice words?"
Pei Zheng couldn't guess what Jiang Mingzhi was thinking, so he waved his hand and motioned for her to come over.
The two stood on the side of the desk, and Pei Zheng motioned for her to practice here.
Looking at the things on Pei Zheng's table, Jiang Mingzhi did not refuse, and raised his hand to hold the pen.
The moment he took the pen, Jiang Mingzhi's whole body became serious, and soon there were a few more big characters on the paper in front of him.
"Calm down, good words."
After Pei Zheng saw her writing, he couldn't help but praise her, after all, it is rare for a woman to write such majestic handwriting.
Jiang Mingzhi also came back to her senses at this moment, but when she heard Pei Zheng's words clearly, her eyes welled up with a little loss.
Her handwriting was still taught by her father, and now she can still recall the bits and pieces of her father's relationship with her, why is it separated in the blink of an eye?
Pei Zheng didn't know what she thought, but when she was stunned, Pei Zheng didn't make a sound, and only quietly accompanied her.
It didn't take long for Jiang Mingzhi to smile again, and he withdrew from the study after saying "Adult's false praise".
Now that the matter has come to this, Jiang Mingzhi decided to see Su Yuandao again, maybe he is the breakthrough.
When she came to the cottage again, the courtyard was a little more popular than it had been that day, and she went in without knocking.
Su Yuandao was taken aback when he saw Jiang Mingzhi appear quietly, "Why are you here again?" ”
Seeing Su Yuandao's frowning brows, Jiang Mingzhi smiled sweetly, "Master Su, don't misunderstand, I'm not here for my father's matter today, but Zuo Xiangfu." ”
Since the list was found in Zuo Xiang's mansion, Jiang Mingzhi wanted to try to see if he could get something out of Su Yuandao's mouth?
Sure enough, after hearing the words "Zuo Xiangfu", Su Yuandao's eyes tightened, and he looked Jiang Mingzhi up and down, as if he was distinguishing the truth of her words.
Although Jiang Mingzhi also had no bottom in her heart, she still didn't hide from her eyes, she knew that success or failure was here!
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Su Yuandao to retract his gaze, "Didn't the adults promise me not to tell others about the previous things?" Why did I tell you about this! ”
Hearing the helplessness in Su Yuandao's words, Jiang Mingzhi's eyes lit up, "Because of this, even if you are on the list of participants in the rebellion case, in the end, Zuo Xiang still protected you and deliberately pulled my father to be the back, yes!" ”
Listening to Jiang Mingzhi's angry voice, Su Yuandao was stunned for a while, Jiang Mingzhi was indeed taken back to the mansion by Zuo Xiang now, what she said just now didn't seem like nonsense, but it made Su Yuandao a little confused.
"Then Master Su specially told me about the birth of the eight characters?" Jiang Mingzhi's voice came immediately, making Su Yuandao slowly lower his head, thinking that Jiang Mingzhi came over today to question what he meant by this.
"The birthday is fake, it was Princess Anping who asked me to say this, if you feel angry, don't come to me."
Princess Anping, Xiao Yanran! Jiang Mingzhi frowned.
But in an instant, Jiang Mingzhi was relieved again, with Xiao Yanran's care about Pei Zheng, it would be strange if he didn't do anything.
But Xiao Yanran's repeated framing now also made Jiang Mingzhi remember this incident one by one.
In the princess's mansion, the person sent to monitor Jiang Mingzhi knelt in front of Xiao Yanran.
"Princess, after Jiang Mingzhi left the mansion, he went to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Industry, and he has not come out yet."
After hearing this news, Xiao Yanran also guessed that maybe Jiang Mingzhi had made a discovery, but she didn't care about Jiang Donghai's case.
I just didn't want to see Jiang Mingzhi at the beginning.
"Ministry of Works, Jiang Mingzhi, the two of them have been in the same room for so long, who knows why she went to the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Mansion on purpose?" The corners of Xiao Yanran's mouth hooked up with a smile, and a touch of fierceness crossed her eyes.
"The little one understands."
The kneeling person instantly understood what Xiao Yanran meant, and bowed to her before retreating.
Before Jiang Mingzhi returned to Zuo Xiang's mansion, rumors about her and Su Yuandao, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, quietly spread in the capital.
After Jiang Mingzhi left from Su Yuandao, she always felt that everyone's gaze at her was wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, she didn't know what was going on, so she simply quickened her pace and returned to Zuo Xiang's mansion.
As soon as she entered the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, a person walked out of the corner behind her, staring at her back for a long time before turning her head and commanding the people behind her.
"It's been too quiet in the capital recently, and the rumors that came out halfway today are interesting, so let's make things bigger, and the backwater in the capital should also be moved."
When Xiao Yuan's words fell, the guards immediately arched their hands at him, turned their heads and looked for someone who could spread the news.
Turning around, Xiao Yuan fixed his eyes on the plaque of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion again, "This undercurrent is surging, I don't know if he can still protect you." ”
Jiang Mingzhi, who had just returned to the house, sneezed, she rubbed her nose, but she just walked too fast, and after entering the house, she added an extra piece of clothing, and didn't think much about it.
Who knew that in the early morning of the next day, the streets were full of rumors that Jiang Mingzhi had sacrificed his innocence in order to help Zuo Xiang win people's hearts.
Many people also said that what they saw yesterday Jiang Mingzhi was disheveled and left from the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Industry, which added a strong touch to such rumors.
At the beginning, these words were just saying that Jiang Mingzhi and Su Yuandao were reluctant, but later it was rumored that Su Yuandao and Zuo Xiang had a close relationship, and as for Jiang Mingzhi, it was to cover for the two to pass on the news.
Such nonsense was originally just a conversation after dinner, but someone with a heart deliberately wrote this matter on the fold and handed it to Emperor Qing.
The left minister colluded with the courtiers, how could Emperor Qing let go of this kind of thing easily.
"The Ministry of Works." Emperor Qing unconsciously repeated these words in his mouth, as if he had never remembered who this person was for a while.
"Your Majesty, this person is Su Yuandao." Wang Xi on the side hurriedly reminded him, and really saw Emperor Qing's brows stretched a little.
"Then go and check this Su Yuandao's behavior, and don't let go of any clues!"
