The concubine Jiaojiao has high means, but the sick prince does not flirt

Chapter 195 Rumors
Bai Zhi laughed loudly, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Mom is indeed a delicate person. You can go greet other guests. Whichever girl I like will naturally scream."

It happened that a gorgeously dressed guest came in, and the old bustard was busy taking care of him, so he said, just give orders and leave if necessary.

Naturally, Bai Zhi didn't come here to find girls, she came here to hear the news.

Teahouses during the day and brothels at night are places where the latest news is exchanged and disseminated.

Otherwise, she would have gone directly to Yixiang Pavilion, but that side is not as good as this side, there are more people, and there are many people who just come to eat, drink, listen to music and watch dancing, so it is not awkward to mix in and listen to the news.

Moreover, since the incident at Yixiang Pavilion, the madam has been imprisoned for a few days. The guests felt that it was unlucky, and they came less and less, and the business was bleak.

While drinking, Bai Zhi listened to the players chatting in the hall.

Suddenly there was a piece of news that aroused her interest.

"Jingzhaoyi's mansion was stolen, and the criminal who was caught poisoning Yiming teahouse during the day was also rescued in a grand manner. Do you think this is unusual?"

"Ah? How is that possible? The Jingzhaoyi Mansion is the capital's yamen, and the guards inside are heavily guarded. Let alone a person, even a mosquito is afraid that they won't be able to fly out. Is it a rumor?"

"He is telling the truth. Who dares to fabricate rumors from the government? Some people do use spells."

"Who has such a high spell?"

"Who else is there? Of course, Shen Shizi is about to marry the second young lady of the Bai family, the head of Xianghe County."

"Why did she save the criminal? Isn't she supposed to catch the criminal?"

"Wrong, this Xianghe County Lord has no dealings with the third prince, and she knows magic. Naturally, she rescued the criminal, and then used magic to make her admit that she was ordered by the third prince, thereby defeating the third prince's power. Didn't you hear? A few days ago, did someone accuse Taoist Yijiang of being a flower picker? Isn't this nonsense? It shows that he has sinister intentions and Taoist Yijiang is getting close to the third prince."

"She looked around every corner of Jingzhaoyi's house on the pretext of looking for bats. She probably did something secretly at that time."

……

When Bai Zhi heard these words, she immediately understood why Shen Changyan and Mrs. Shen joined forces to prepare the items to be married, and forced her to stay at home for a whole day today. There were bad rumors about her.

When she was looking for bats in Jingzhaoyi Mansion yesterday, she never expected to be used by someone.

But Bai Zhi wasn't worried, she smiled slightly, and raised her voice and said: "You guys have been used by people with ulterior motives, so you help spread these rumors for them, and you can't tell right from wrong."

These words aroused public indignation. They all looked at her angrily and asked: "You are a brat, why did you say this?"

Of course, some people said the truth: "Shen Shizi and Xianghe County Lord are not people who fight for power and profit."

Bai Zhi asked unhurriedly: "Who is the manager of Yiming Tea House?"

"Shopkeeper Jiang Baoyun Jiang, her family has just been rehabilitated, and she is a good sister of the head of Xianghe County." someone replied.

Bai Zhi gave him a thumbs up and praised: "Well said, even if the Lord of Xianghe County is an enemy of the third prince, why does he need to hook up with his good sister? Besides, now that Shen Shizi and the prince are not dealing with each other, what can the Lord of Xianghe do? Maybe he went to provoke the third prince? Wouldn't he be helping the wrong person? And think about it, who saved those tea guests? There must be a dark hand behind the poisoning criminal. Naturally, they are not willing to accept it and want to put the blame on Xianghe. County Lord."

Hearing these words, everyone looked suddenly enlightened.

Bai Zhi continued to play while the ball was hot and said, "Has the Lord of Xianghe County ever hurt anyone? Although Prince Shen was cold and cruel before, has he ever hurt anyone?"

After thinking about it, everyone shook their heads one after another, and even talked about Bai Zhi and Shen Changyan a little better.

"One year, I was down and out on the street. It was Shen Shizi who rescued me and gave me a chance to make a comeback." A middle-aged man sighed with emotion on his face: "Shen Shizi is definitely a good man. He is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. He is not as domineering, arrogant, and has no good intentions like other royals and nobles."

"That's right, I saw with my own eyes the head of Xianghe County treating leprosy elderly people on the street, and giving money to help the elderly people live well." Someone immediately echoed.

This ignited the praise of Bai Zhi and Shen Changyan from the crowd, and they all said that they were living Bodhisattvas and great benevolent people.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi raised a smile on her lips and nodded slightly: "In this case, how could the Lord of Xianghe County use magic on Jingzhaoyi Mansion and rescue the criminal? The person who rescued the criminal must be the person behind the criminal. , they are just taking advantage of the ability of the County Lord of Xianghe to frame the blame. Doesn’t it expose their villainous behavior? Not only the County Lord of Xianghe knows magic, but also the Taoist priest Yijiang who was identified by Miss Xiaocui as a flower picker? Knowing spells? Has he ever been invited by the emperor to be a protector of the country?"

Everyone nodded again and agreed with her statement.

Bai Zhi strikes while the iron is hot, and continues: "Everyone's eyes are discerning. The Xianghe county master is a genius doctor, and he will never be an evildoer who uses magic indiscriminately. Otherwise, the capital will be so peaceful? On the contrary, some people may not be so. The case of the missing girl, How many victims are there? Should this person be punished by law? The head of Xianghe County is a woman, so she definitely cannot be a flower picker, so you think about it yourself."

These words gave everyone a thinking guide, and they naturally thought that Daoist Yijiang knew spells, and he was a man, and he was accused by Xiaocui before and sued to Jingzhaoyi Mansion, so it is not surprising that he took revenge.

During the interrogation at the Jingzhaoyi Mansion, there were witnesses who knew that he had been forcibly rescued by the third prince.

Everyone naturally understands the character of the third prince. Many innocent people have suffered from open and secret fights with the prince.

As a result, everyone was in an uproar and exclaimed from the bottom of their hearts.

"I see."

Then Bai Zhi stopped talking, just drank and ate vegetables, and asked a girl to sing a ditty.

About half an hour later, she felt that it was about the same time, and she came out of the Cuihong Building.

At this time, the night was getting darker, but Hualiu Alley was still very lively.

She walked forward and came to Yixiang Pavilion.

Xiaobai is still in Yixiang Pavilion, she needs her help to find out more information about the secret passage.

But Yixiang Pavilion is in decline.

Yingying Yanyan at the door worked hard to solicit customers, but the hall was still half empty, and many girls had no guests to accompany them, which was completely different from the lively situation before.

Seeing that she couldn't get any customers, her mother often scolded the girls for not working hard, claiming that she would sell them to the hook bar.

Goulan is incomparable to a brothel. The service areas are all middle- and lower-class coolies. If they can't make money, they will be useless.

When Bai Zhi walked in, her mother was beating a girl with a feather duster.

"Mom, when you open the door to pick up the guests, train the girl. It seems that this Yixiang Pavilion is really..."

She didn't say the rest of the words, so her mother could naturally hear that she was indeed defeated.
