Especially at this time, these idlers were still talking while fleeing, but they were chattering, and they couldn't suppress it when they heard the fire in Steward Zhou's heart.

Furious, he saw that the gang ran near him, left his seat and pointed and shouted: "Nonsense, you are blaspheming and slandering people's innocence, you should be beaten!"

As he spoke, he pounced on it and slapped him in the face.

"Slap", the helper was directly stunned, others beat, that is, punching and kicking, but no one really felt the slap!

Hate like this, could it be that this person's wife went to Shuiyun Temple to ask for a son and get a son?

When others saw this scene, they thought of these things in an instant.

Steward Zhou didn't pay attention to the eyes of others at all, he hated him so much that he couldn't understand his hatred after a slap, and he slapped him again according to the helper, and slapped him twice, which was considered relief.

I wanted to kick a few more kicks, but as soon as I looked up, I found that the people around me were looking, and the helper was not one, his companion was shocked by the momentum of the crowd before, and now he has also reacted, and is rushing here, seeing this situation, Steward Zhou reacted quickly and scolded: "Get out, it's cheap for you." ”

As he spoke, he threw the man half a string of copper coins and turned to go out.

When he got out of the teahouse, he was relieved when he saw that no one was chasing him, and then looked at the people on the road, Steward Zhou felt both annoyed and scared.

"I shouldn't have done it just now, hey, I hope no one recognizes me......"

He is now a little afraid that Chen Xuanzhi has been to Shuiyun Temple and will be pulled out, once it is pulled out, it will be over for the royal lady, but for himself, there will be a lot of involvement.

Especially...... He thought about it, Chen Xuanzhi is different from other female dependents, she is a faithful believer in Shuiyun Temple, after going to Shuiyun Temple, she has never been to other temples, Taoist temples or shrines, every time she goes out, she goes to Shuiyun Temple, she didn't think much about it, but now she even doubts herself.

In such a situation, if you tell the prince that she is innocent, can you believe it?

The only fortunate thing is that Chen Xuanzhi has no children.

"These rotten guys!" muttered and cursed, and Steward Zhou went back.

King Lu's Mansion is not far from here, just two streets away, and after scolding and gossiping along the way, he is uneasy about his situation.

"Since I know about this matter, should I report it to King Lu?"

"Only one or two people said that it was enough to find someone to beat them up and threaten them to shut up, but now that so many people know about it, and even many people have already spread this story, how can people shut up? Even if it can really shut people up, it's not something that a palace manager like me can do it alone!"

"If I don't say it, others will report it to the prince......"

"But if I go and say it, I will definitely be able to save myself? I was originally close to Chen Xuan, and many people in the house know about this, I am already a grasshopper on the same line as her, how can I have a clear relationship?"

I was nervous and cranky, but when the road was finished, I looked up and returned to King Lu's mansion.

The side door was open, and he was so distracted that he didn't even pay attention to the doorkeeper's greeting, causing the servant to murmur after he walked over.

"Isn't that Zhang Wang?" After walking a few more steps, he saw a person who didn't usually deal with him, carrying a wine gourd, and a plate of braised pork on the chair in front of him, squatting there, laughing with a few government soldiers.

Listen carefully, Zhang Wang is talking to these people, and what he is talking about is also about Shuiyun Temple?

Steward Zhou is now very sensitive to the three words "Shuiyun Temple", his ears suddenly pricked up, and his steps slowed down.

A few people drank, and the conversation rose, and a government soldier smiled: "Who said no, just say that the little daughter-in-law who opened a tofu shop next to the back door of our palace, she went to Shuiyun Temple to ask for a son, so watery, tsk......"

Several people glanced at each other, all with a "you know" expression, and laughed.

When Steward Zhou heard this, his face turned even paler.

What do these people mean by talking like this? It shows that the filthy rumors of the Shuiyun Temple have spread.

It's over, it's over, it's too late to suppress this rumor even now.

Walking further to his residence, Steward Zhou stumbled a little, until he almost tripped over a small pit under his feet, so he wiped his face and forced himself to calm down.

"If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that if nothing happens, I will be seen as a joke. He whispered to himself.

As soon as I warned myself like this, my breath slowly stabilized.

"Steward Zhou, are you back?" He pretended to be okay and went back to the room, at the door of the residence, and was about to push the door in, but was stopped by someone.

When I looked back, I saw that it was the kitchen steward.

"Ah, yes, just came back. Steward Zhou said.

"You haven't been in the house today, I don't know if you've eaten? No, there are still some wine and dishes left in the kitchen, especially the tamales and snail shrimp, these two big plates have not been touched with a single chopstick, I have sent them to you, and I am thinking about whether you will come back. The man in the kitchen smiled and flattered.

"You are a celebrity who has to be valued in front of the prince, you have to take care of your body, and you have to eat a meal. ”

Steward Zhou was used to hearing such words, and he didn't care much about it, he had something in his heart, and he didn't want to be seen, so he thanked him with a smile.

After touching his arms, he wanted to take out the silver, but suddenly he had a spirit: "Am I in the town of Nightmare?"

Isn't this crazy? How can I be so generous?

But when his hand was in it, he couldn't pretend that he didn't have it, so he went to the small purse hanging from his waist, took out a small piece of broken silver from it, and handed it to the kitchen steward.

"No, no, no, Steward Zhou, this is ......" The kitchen steward hurriedly excused himself.

Steward Zhou said: "You have always helped, I know it in my heart, take it, otherwise you will look down on me!"

He said so, and the kitchen steward naturally didn't want to excuse himself, so he took it with a smile, thanked him again and again, and grinned: "The kitchen is here with seasonal cherries, very sweet, a basket, I'll send you some in the evening, eat a little after dinner, and be very happy." ”

As he spoke, someone outside the courtyard shouted: "Is Steward Zhou here, the prince called you over!"

The prince called me?

Steward Zhou was already weak-hearted, and he was shocked when he heard this, but even if he was weak and afraid, since the prince called him, he couldn't help but go.

"This is coming!" replied to the outside, and Steward Zhou said to the kitchen steward: "Help me put the wine and food in the house, I will go to see the prince first." ”

The kitchen steward hurriedly said, "This is natural, you are busy!"

Steward Zhou then went out, and saw a government soldier standing outside waiting, seeing him, his expression was serious, and he didn't have a smiling face.

Steward Zhou hesitated, but he didn't dare to inquire about the news.

King Lu is not the king of Qi or the king of Shu, looking easy-going and low-key, the actual outside is loose and tight, the management of other things is not strict, the management of the government soldiers is very strict, it is not allowed to make friends with the steward casually, and give a generous reward, so that the grace and power are all giving, basically everyone is loyal, ask yourself, the government soldiers will report to the king of Lu.

Spying on the prince's mind can be big or small, and it will be difficult to deal with things.
