Chapter 284 Rumors Abound
Nanny Yang groaned, and looked at Yuan Cuiyu in surprise, "Did the county lord be beaten by him on purpose?"
"This trick has to be used. If it is not like this, everyone's slander against Zian cannot be diverted, and the Prime Minister's Mansion will continue to release vicious remarks. After this time, no one will believe what the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion say now. "Yuan Cuiyu said calmly, as if she had never experienced that beating.
Nanny Yang looked at Pan Dan, thinking of what he said yesterday, she still felt a little distrustful of him, "Why are you willing to help the county magistrate?"
Pan Dan said: "Scholar Yuan has kindness to my Pan family, and the Pan family will never forget this kindness."
He clasped his hands and continued: "Yesterday, after Prime Minister Xia left, there were still people watching Xiazhi Garden, so I had to say those things to my nanny, please don't take it to heart, but those words are also true. If you doubt Mammy, Mammy can figure it out."
After speaking, Pan Dan went out.
He only helped this once, and it was repaying the favor that Master Yuan had given to the Pan family. He was the empress's man, and he had the task of leaving the palace and entering the mansion.
Nanny Yang sat down and looked at Yuan Cuiyu, a little unhappy, "The county lord should tell the slaves first, so that the slaves are worried."
Yuan Cuiyu looked at her, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I made Mammy worry." After experiencing suffering in the world, it is easy to be moved by true feelings.
Nanny Yang said sadly: "The county master doesn't need to apologize, the servant just thinks that the county master doesn't need to suffer herself like this."
Yuan Cuiyu sighed softly, "I know Xia Huaijun, and I also know the old lady. The empress dowager gave them two days to find Zi'an, and he will definitely do anything. It's not difficult to guess where Zi'an is going. In addition, the people in Beijing are now full of rumors, which will also put a certain amount of pressure on the prince, because public opinion directly affects the government, and it is impossible for the empress dowager to ignore the voices of the people. The people in Beijing are like cats to scandals. He smelled like fish, and kept chasing. Although the panic of zombie disease is still there, it can somewhat divert some attention and reduce the damage to Zian from gossip. At the same time, it can also let the prince separate and do what he wants to do .”
Moreover, if this is not the case, how can some people be forced to be filled with righteous indignation? For example, Prince An, Mr. Wen, and many scholars who once admired her name.
Almost everything they wrote was authoritative, and few people would doubt it, and Pandan had told all the details, including the dialogue.
She deeply understands that writing is sometimes sharper than a sword when dealing with powerful people.
Sure enough, in less than three days, the story of Prime Minister Xia beating Heli's wife, the county magistrate Danqing, quickly spread in Beijing.
caused an earthquake-like effect.
The previous rumors about Xia Zi'an have also been reversed. Many people even said that Xia Zian's disappearance was actually taken away by his father, Prime Minister Xia. Now someone has come to rescue him, and he should be rescued soon.
The rumors and gossips of the people were fed back to the ears of the empress dowager. Liang Taifu once again entered the palace and asked the empress dowager to order the village to be burned. There was no strong reason for it.
The empress dowager snapped back with one sentence, "The Ai family heard that the people in Beijing are waiting for Xia Zian to come back, and the people are willing to trust her. Could it be that neither the Ai family nor the Tai Tuo can?"
Grand Tutor Liang really hated Prime Minister Xia to death. What happened at this juncture completely diverted the attention of the people, and made Xia Zian once again be praised by the people as a victim.
The imperial court could not ignore the voices of the people, and he had no way to play again.
The rumors became more and more serious, and among all the rumors, a question mark appeared.
That is, the dignified Prime Minister, why did he beat up the ex-wife who was named the county head after the divorce? Moreover, Prince An was involved in this incident. It cannot be said to be an affair or a scandal, because they all reconciled.
While everyone was speculating, some people boldly speculated that Prime Minister Xia did this because County Lord Danqing knew a shocking secret of his.
This shocking secret has a lot to do with the outbreak of zombie disease today.
As soon as this guess came out, the common people used their unlimited imagination to associate it with Xia Zi'an's disappearance.
Zombie disease is a masterpiece of the Xiangfu, and Xia Zian betrayed the Xiangfu and wanted to find a prescription, so he was chased and killed by the people of the Xiangfu. Yuan Cuiyu was eager to save his daughter, exposed the prime minister's conspiracy, and was almost killed by the prime minister. Fortunately, Prince An came to his rescue.
All kinds of rumors speculated by the people were naturally deliberately led by someone, and these were also arranged by Danqing County Lord.
Under the coercion of rumors, the old lady found the noble concubine.
The noble concubine told her that Xia Zian was on Madman's Island, and that he had found a prescription and was developing an antidote.
When the old lady got the news, she was shocked and cruel, and bought people in the rivers and lakes with a lot of money, demanding Xia Zi'an's life, and if she couldn't take her life, she would also destroy her medicine.
After the old lady's people set off, the regent ordered people to spread the news that Xia Zian had found a prescription on Madman's Island, but there were various killers waiting for Xia Zian.
This news is also the second blockbuster.
There are over a thousand zombie patients in Beijing. In order to ensure that Xia Zian can return to Beijing smoothly, the families of these zombie patients flocked to Jichun Town to escort Xia Zian back to Beijing.
In addition to the relatives of these zombie patients, there are also many people who are filled with righteous indignation, and some chivalrous masters have flocked to Jichun Town. Crossed all the way to meet Xia Zian at Madman's Island.
At the same time, the boss of the Cao Gang ordered that all the disciples of the Cao Gang in Jichun not work for a living during this period, but only guard the coast of Jichun, waiting for Xia Zian to come back.
The power of the common people is very strong, at least, it blocked the footsteps of some people, that is the people of the noble concubine.
She still has ambitions, and there are still plenty of opportunities to kill Xia Zi'an, so there's no point in exposing herself too early.
What's more, if she doesn't make a move, the old lady will still make a move.
It can be said that Yuan Cuiyu's severe beating completely reversed the situation in Beijing.
Zi'an is still the same as Zi'an before leaving the capital to go to Madman's Island. At least, the people's expectations of her are still very high.
The incident directed by Yuan Cuiyu was the last straw that overwhelmed the Xiangfu.
Since May, scandals have been breaking out in the Prime Minister's Mansion. From the beginning, Xia Zi'an repented of his marriage and opposed the Prime Minister's Mansion. He became a poisonous woman in everyone's mouth. The ugly face emerged bit by bit until it was fully exposed.
Beating women is an extremely immoral act, but anyone who speaks for an immoral person will become an immoral person.
This is even different from murder and arson, because there are several reasons behind murder and arson. This torture of a helpless woman, and her ex-wife who divorced her, really broke the heart of a man. character.
There is no excuse.
Therefore, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, including Prime Minister Xia, did not come out to distinguish half a sentence for him.
The power of this rumor is very powerful, even though most of the prime minister's mansion was burned, he still didn't go out of the mansion half a step, one was because of his injury, and the other was because he couldn't face other people's eyes.
And at this time, the queen decreed that because Xia Wan'er's virtue was not enough to match the prince, the marriage was cancelled.
The Lin family also came to withdraw the engagement. Of course they said that the Lin family was not good enough for the prime minister, but the old lady knew that they despised the prime minister.
The old lady understood that the prime minister's life was exhausted, and the only thing she could do at this point was to kill Xia Zi'an, Yuan Cuiyu, and these two people. Perhaps there was still a way for the prime minister to survive.
Kill these two people, all right and wrong will stop, people in the world are very forgetful, after a few years, no one will remember this matter anymore.
He has no offspring, so he can take over from the second wife, but the glory of the Xiangfu cannot be lost.
For a moment, all eyes were on Ji Chunzhen.
