Chapter 573 Fighting Rumors With Rumors
Uncle De hesitated for a while, pretending to be in a difficult situation. Under Mammy Jiang's gaze, he looked left and right again, took two steps, and said softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear. "Mrs. Wang's boudoir name is Zhao Pan'er. She was originally a humble woman from Qiantang, Congliang, who was an official prostitute."

After listening to Uncle De's words, Mother Jiang showed disbelief in her eyes. How could there be official prostitutes as official wives?

You must know that no matter which official marries an official prostitute, isn't it tantamount to self-determination among colleagues?How could the female relatives of other officials' families be willing to associate with an official prostitute?Isn't that a bad reputation?Gossip can kill a man.

However, thinking that if this is true, how dare that Mrs. Wang dare to be arrogant, thinking of this, Mammy Jiang grabbed Uncle De emotionally and asked sharply, "Is this true?"

Uncle De was taken aback. Seeing that Nanny Jiang was more interested, he was overjoyed. Thinking that if the Gao family had revealed this matter, it would have nothing to do with him. He hurried forward and said flatteringly, "My young master came from Liangzhe. The students who were originally in Qiantang know the identity of Wang Shaoqing's wife."

Looking at Uncle De's expression, Mother Jiang knew that it was not easy. She guessed that there was some rift between the two, but she didn't care, as long as the news was not fake.Thinking of how angry the girl was outside today, she nodded and asked Uncle De to explain some details.

The two murmured for a while, which made Gao Hui a little anxious to wait, so she went back to the house first, and didn't waste time waiting here anymore.

Lei Jing, as the commander of the Imperial City Department, his capable subordinates disappeared without a sound with a hundred people, which made Lei Jing a little suspicious, and couldn't figure out who did it.

Lei Jing felt that, apart from the orders of the emperor and saint, he was still tactful, and he had never completely offended anyone to death, so it should not be aimed at him, so he was also relieved.

But just as he wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, he immediately thought of an enemy. It should be said that Lei Jing only offended one person to death, and that was Gu Qianfan. You must know that he took 20 guan from the dead Qiantang magistrate just to kill him. Gu Qianfan even gave the order to die.

Thinking of this, Lei Jing suddenly felt that this was probably Gu Qianfan's warning to him. Thinking of his recent incident of Ding Zhongquan secretly contacting the eldest son of the Xiao family, his hair stood on his head. Could it be that this matter has been leaked?Then Gu Qianfan thought it was his attention?

The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. Lei Jing thought that Xiao Xiang was still out of town. He didn't know who could stop Gu Qianfan, so he thought that Wang Yue, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, seemed to have friendship with Gu Qianfan, but he didn't have friendship with Wang Yue, so he rushed to the door It was a bit out of courtesy, and he thought of Qi Mu, the censor Zhongcheng, who is now acting as Dali Temple, and he seems to be able to recommend him.

When Qi Mu was approached by Lei Jing, he was actually a little flustered, as long as he was an official, he would feel uneasy if he was approached by the Secretary of the Imperial City. Fortunately, Lei Jing came to ask for help today, so he quickly explained his purpose.

Hearing Lei Jing's words, Qi Mu's face darkened. He is not a fool. How could the commander of the Imperial City Commander cling to a young minister of Dali City in such a humble manner? There must be some special reason.

Before Wang Yue took office as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he sent someone to investigate. Except that the handling of the case was more fair and selfless, and he was a little lecherous, there were no major problems, and he did not have any attachment to any power. This is why Ke Xianggong took a fancy to it.

Qi Mu quickly thought of a detail, that is, Wang Yue and Gu Qianfan had known each other in Qiantang, and sent his subordinate, Song Gu Qianfan, to Suzhou.

Thinking of this, Qi Mu was shocked. Lei Jing came here this time because of Gu Qianfan, right?He intended to trick Gu Qianfan into doing things for him, but he didn't want Gu Qianfan to become another Lei Jing, as that was beyond his control.

Qi Mu looked at the flattering Lei Jing, and tried to say with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Lei, I'll go to Dali Temple and ask Wang Yue to explain to Gu Qianfan."

Lei Jing saw that Qi Mu understood what he meant, and was so easy to talk, so he was surprised, so he hurriedly presented the gift he had prepared, and quickly said goodbye and left.

It's just that after Lei Jing left, he quickly sent a letter to Xiao Xiang through the channel of the Imperial City Secretary. He knew clearly in his heart that these Qingliu were really not good things, and they were more ruthless than people like Xiao Xiang. Still fierce!

Seeing Lei Jing's reaction, Qi Mu knew that he had guessed right. He didn't expect Gu Qianfan to have such a say in the Imperial City Division.

After Lei Jing left, Qi Mu paced back and forth in the yard. After thinking for a while, he decided that some actions must be taken earlier.

In case Gu Qianfan and his father Xiao Xiang reconciled, a prime minister and the imperial secretary would be unimaginable.

As for asking Wang Yue to intercede, of course Qi Mu won't do it. He didn't expect that Wang Yue and Gu Qianfan have such a deep friendship, making Lei Jing even want to go out of his way, which makes him very dissatisfied. After all, Dali The city is his territory, and he can only make one voice.

Thinking of this, Qi Mu decided to go to Dali Temple, look for Wang Yue, and beat him by the way.

When Wang Yue was approached by Qi Mu, he was a little puzzled at first. After all, he looked pretty good when he met the boss a few times before. He didn't know what to ask him for. After all, Wang Yue felt that business Above, he didn't make any mistakes.

Later, Qi Mu asked Wang Yue not to be too close to the eunuchs in the tone of an elder, and Wang Yue finally understood that the relationship was something he and Gu Qianfan knew well, and let the old boy know.

Wang Yue was inexplicably reprimanded for a long time, and he was very upset. He looked at Qi Mu who was speaking righteously and sternly, but he didn't say much. After all, it's not good to contradict directly.

However, Wang Yue has already decided to send someone to keep an eye on Qi Mu. He doesn't believe that the ancient scholar-bureaucrats are really as clean as they say. Don't let this old guy get caught, otherwise, he doesn't mind giving Qi Mu some Color look.

Seeing that Wang Yue was stubborn, Qi Mu didn't say anything, and his tone became more severe.

Although Wang Yue was going to investigate the old man afterwards, he would not just be reprimanded like this. He decisively interrupted Qi Mu and said, "Qi Zhongcheng, there are many cases in Dali Temple. If you are honest and have too much time, why not come here?" Sort out more cases."

Qi Mu choked for a moment. He didn't expect that there would be people who dared to contradict him in Dali Temple, so he secretly wrote a note to Wang Yue. He coughed lightly, and then said awkwardly, "I have other things to deal with, so you can do it first."

Qi Mu just left so silently, which made Wang Yue a little suspicious. Would this kind of old fox let a subordinate who was not obedient like this go?It must be something bad!
It's just that Wang Yue didn't have time to think about anything else. As soon as he returned home, Wang Cai told him that some rumors spread suddenly in the capital, saying that the mistress of the Peach Blossom Manor outside Tokyo was once an official prostitute. Congenial, and then a bunch of swear words, it seems that Zhao Pan'er has become a woman who can do her best overnight.

Fortunately, after hearing that Zhao Pan'er in the rumors turned out to be Wang Qingtian's wife, the rumors about Zhao Pan'er were not effective because of Wang Yue's identity. After all, Wang Qingtian's reputation among the people is very loud, and the people are not willing to The Qingtian master in my mind was framed by others, and only a scum with no brains would say a few stupid words, and others would just take it as a joke.

Even so, when Wang Yue heard about it, he immediately became angry. Zhao Pan'er used to be an official prostitute. In Beijing, only Ouyang Xu and De Shu knew about Zhao Pan'er's former official prostitution. It was revealed that the Gao family was the only one who could spread the news all over the capital in one day.

The matter of staring at Qi Mu can be considered, but this matter cannot be postponed.

Of course, Wang Yue couldn't sit still, so he immediately decided to use rumors to counter rumors, let his subordinates let the wind go, and tied Ouyang Xu and Wang Yue, Zhao Paner, Gao Hui together to make up stories, which seemed to be true and false, making it difficult to distinguish .

Wang Yue's subordinates were more efficient, and the gossip of the four people spread out faster than the gossip of Zhao Pan'er alone, and it spread throughout Tokyo in less than a day.

After all, Zhao Pan'er's gossip spreads again, and I get tired of hearing too much. After all, it's just a matter of a backdoor woman, and there is no reliable evidence to prove it.

But the later rumors became more ferocious, especially the twists and turns of the plot, which seemed more real.

According to the rumors, Wang Yue and Ouyang Xu were two men and one woman, and Zhao Pan'er gave up the position of the magistrate's wife and chose a down-and-out poor scholar, and the story behind it was even more exciting. First, the scholar wanted to regret the marriage after being admitted to Tanhua. Immediately afterwards, Ms. Gao bullied others again. In the end, because of Ouyang Xu's self-willed depravity, Gao Xun regretted the marriage. The big melons were eaten one by one, making the people who eat melons full, and soon forgot about Zhao Pan'er's identity. .

Moreover, the story of Wang Qingtian and Tanhualang competing for one woman not only raised Zhao Paner's worth, but also made the story more interesting to the people who eat melons. After all, if Zhao Paner was really an official prostitute, why would Tanhua and Wang Qingtian compete? want?These two people are not fools!
Not to mention that the people in Tokyo City ate big melons for nothing, Gao Xun was furious after hearing this incident, without Wang Yue intervening, he began to investigate where the source of the matter was, and soon learned about the original rumors about Zhao Pan'er. It was really passed on by their Gao family, but the source of the later stories is not clear.

After Gao Xun beat Jiang Nanny to the board, he learned the news from Jiang Nanny. From Ouyang Xu's official family, Uncle De, when he sent someone to arrest Uncle De, he found that Uncle De had disappeared Without a trace, with the power of the Gao family in the capital, no one could be found, which made Gao observe conspiracy.

Could it be that Ouyang Xu did this?Just want him to bear the reputation of regretting the marriage?
It's quite logical when you think about it carefully. You must know that Gao Guan sent someone to Luoyang to find the token of engagement from Ouyang Xu at that time, and also asked Ouyang Xu to write a letter of divorce. No one in Tokyo knew about this.

If it wasn't for Ouyang Xu, why did the rumor spread as soon as the person sent in front came back?

In short, after Gao Guan took his anger out on Ouyang Xu, he sent his men to kill Ouyang Xu. He almost fought with the men sent by Wang Yue, but they all missed.

Gao Hui fixed her eyes on Zhao Pan'er, she didn't have any other ideas, she sent people to Qiantang to find out if Zhao Pan'er and Ouyang Xu were engaged, and at the same time sent someone to ask for an invitation to see Zhao Pan'er.

Zhao Pan'er was also very surprised when she received Gao Hui's greeting card. She thought about it and felt that she still couldn't make the decision, so she came to the front yard to look for Wang Yue, wanting to ask Wang Yue's opinion.

Wang Yue felt that it didn't matter, as long as he was at home, it was impossible for the Gao family to hurt Zhao Pan'er, so he nodded and agreed to the meeting between Zhao Pan'er and Gao Hui.

When Gao Hui received the invitation reply, the people from the Gao family who had gone to Qiantang had already returned. She knew from Zhao Pan'er's neighbor in Qiantang that Zhao Pan'er had indeed saved Ouyang Xu and had a marriage contract with Ouyang Xu, which made her very depressed.

Gao Hui wanted to talk to someone, but Nanny Jiang was recuperating at home after being hit by a board, and she seemed to be getting more and more serious. She just thought it was because Nanny Jiang was getting old, so she didn't think much about coming to Wang Yue's house.

After Gao Hui met Zhao Pan'er, the two stared at each other in the living room, so embarrassed that they didn't know how to speak.

Gao Hui knew that Mammy Jiang sent someone to play tricks, and wanted to apologize but was afraid that the explanation would not be clear. Instead, Zhao Pan'er misunderstood.

Zhao Pan'er was detained at home by Wang Yue in the past few days, and the three of them were still learning the rules. They were not disturbed by outside rumors for a while, and they were a little confused by Gao Hui's hesitation.

In this weird atmosphere, Gao Hui had just taken a sip of the cold tea, and suddenly frowned, even groaning regardless of being a guest.

Zhao Paner didn't expect Gao Hui to moan suddenly. At first, he thought it was Pengci, so he looked at Gao Hui in astonishment, but he immediately saw from Gao Hui's expression that the little girl was really uncomfortable, and she also Not to embarrass the guest, he quickly said, "Miss Gao, is this menstruation?"

Gao Hui didn't expect to come here as a guest today and forget about menstruation, she nodded shyly, and said embarrassingly, "I came out in a hurry today, I forgot."

Zhao Pan'er couldn't help but smile when she heard what Gao Hui said. She didn't expect the daughter of Gao Guan, who was said to be grumpy, to be so innocent. She said with a smile, "Come with me, Miss Gao, and I'll find you some clothes to change into." .”

Gao Hui knew that it was too late to go home to pick it up, so she didn't delay, followed Zhao Pan'er back to the house and changed into a new dress of Zhao Pan'er.

After changing clothes, Gao Hui looked at the brown sugar water in front of her, and then looked at the bright and charming Zhao Pan'er, suddenly felt embarrassed, and said shyly, "I seem to have seen my mother drink this brown sugar water when I was young, but it's useless to me. Yes, it still hurts."

Zhao Pan'er didn't take it seriously, and explained gently, "My brown sugar water is different from others. It is specially prepared to relieve abdominal pain."

Gao Hui glanced at the brown sugar water suspiciously. Thinking that it was the other party's kindness, she picked it up and took a sip. After drinking the warm brown sugar water, her stomach immediately felt relieved. As soon as her eyes lit up, she said suspiciously, "The taste of this brown sugar water is very familiar. My mother seems to have drank it before, but it's a pity that she has already"

Zhao Pan'er didn't expect such a coincidence, could it be that Gao Hui's mother is also from Jiangnan?She asked suspiciously, "Does Lingtang come from Jiangnan?"
