Chapter 655; Rumors spread

Yan Zuo got drunk like this for three days in a row. It can be said that he had no other way out.

His former friends now fear him like a tiger, and even his relatives and friends avoid him, for fear that getting too close to him will cause Princess Wanfu to misunderstand him.

Otherwise, it may lead to misunderstandings among those who want to curry favor with Princess Wanfu, and get rid of them all at once.

Speaking of Yan Zuo, he doesn't have a particularly deep background. Although he is a descendant of a generation of farmers, the Yan family is not even a small aristocratic family.

There are many officials in the whole clan, but they only hold some unimportant positions.

Therefore, when he was the minister of the Ministry of Industry, he could be regarded as the number one among the many officials in the family. When he became powerful, he naturally had people to be friends with.

He also took advantage of his position to find small official positions for many individuals in the family, which can be regarded as an outstanding contribution to the family.

However, when disaster strikes, these members of his clan, as well as those he has helped, all avoid him.

This hit him even more, and the resentment in his heart grew more and more.

At this moment, a stranger suddenly came to the door, handed him a letter, and turned around and left without saying a word.

Holding the letter, Yan Zuo was a little confused, but he still opened it.

At this sight, his originally turbid eyes like stagnant water brightened slightly, and an unprecedented hatred burst out.

"Miss, the last batch of people who sent the posts are back."

In half a month, it will be Lu Yaoyao's housewarming party, so the posts have been sent out one after another in the past two days.

"Oh, I see."

Lu Yaoyao just nodded, didn't say much, and continued to drink tea and read by himself.

"Miss, our people have brought back a piece of news."

Hearing Qiu Shuang's words, Lu Yaoyao raised his head in confusion.

Seeing that Qiu Shuang's face was not good-looking, he knew that it would not be good news.

"Many people in the capital are now spreading rumors about your unwillingness to hand over the bomb formula. The finger is directed at His Highness Prince Jin, saying that you and Prince Jin have evil intentions and want to subvert and seize the throne of Dongzhou Kingdom."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao's eyes narrowed and he asked, "When did the news come out? Do you know who came from it?"

"That's not what he said. He just heard the news and hurried back to report it."

"Go and ask Hou Si to come see me."

Qiu Shuang turned around and retreated.

As soon as she left, Lu Yaoyao's expression darkened.

"It seems that some guys still don't want to give up this method of making bombs."

At this time, such words were spread, and the purpose was nothing more than a bomb. To be able to use such despicable means to rob it, it seems that there is a very dangerous group of people hiding in the secrets of this Dongzhou capital.

Hou Si is responsible for collecting and investigating information from all parties in the capital. Since it is spreading all over the capital, why doesn't he come over to report?

Not long after, Hou Si was brought to Lu Yaoyao by Qiu Shuang.

Before she could speak, Hou Si took the lead and said, "Miss, my subordinate is incompetent and has not investigated the source of the rumor."

"Oh? It seems you know what I want to do with you?"

"Regarding this news, my subordinates have already learned about it two days ago. I originally wanted to find out the ins and outs before coming to report to the lady. Unfortunately, after two days of investigation, I could not find the source. It seemed like it broke out overnight.

It comes out the same.”

Lu Yaoyao nodded. He dared to talk about this stuff at the stall where she had just gotten angry at the Jinluan Palace. How could it not be hidden?

"How about Yan Zuo's side?"

When this stall happened to happen, the first person she thought of was Yan Zuo, the former minister of the Ministry of Works.

This guy has been dismissed from his official position. I heard that he has been looking for a way out everywhere recently. Could it be that he wanted to kill everyone, which is why he caused these things?

"My subordinates also suspected it was him at first, and immediately investigated. Recently, he has been staying at the house drinking all day long, and there is no special behavior."

"And with his current abilities, he doesn't have the ability to lay out such a thorough plan."

Hearing what he said, Lu Yaoyao looked at him steadily and waited for a while before saying, "Continue the investigation and find out the source."

Regarding what he just said, Lu Yaoyao felt that it made some sense. She was clear about Yan Zuo's situation. Under the current conditions, he really did not have the ability to arrange things like this.

"You bastard, check, check hard for me, who is spreading the rumor?"

In the imperial study, Emperor Hongwen also heard the news and angrily smashed the memorial he was reading out.

These guys actually said that the reason why Lu Yaoyao didn't ask to hand over the bomb was because he was secretly making it, and then accompanied His Highness the King of Jin to attack from the north and south together, seize the capital, and change the dynasty.

And the key point is that now the King of Jin controls the military power in the North and the South, and the best troops in Dongzhou are distributed in these two places.

If he wanted to take action in normal times, the city walls along the way would scare King Jin away, but now that there are bombs, it's different.

Wanfu Princess Lu Yaoyao, this bomb was probably developed to help King Jin capture Dongzhou faster.

Otherwise, why didn't you take it out during the conflict with Beichu earlier?

These people analyze it as having a nose and eyes.

Even Lu Yaoyao's previous incident of transporting bombs to the southern region to help the King of Jin repel southern Xinjiang had ulterior motives according to the analysis of these people.

What else can I say, this is just to lower the court's wariness, and this is also a very good opportunity.

Under normal circumstances, when so many bombs were delivered to King Jin, the news would inevitably leak out.

But with the help of the war in southern Xinjiang, it is much more convenient to transport these things.

Some people say that the King of Jin still has at least tens of thousands of bombs in his hands, just to use them to counterattack the capital.

Emperor Hongwen was very angry when he heard these rumors, but Wang De still saw some suspicion in his angry eyes.

He trusted King Jin and sincerely wanted to return the throne to him, but he could return it, but others could not force it.

If you listen to some words too much, trust will appear a little cracked.

Although he still had trust, suspicion and suspicion had arisen in his heart.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry. Yi Laonu sees this as a signal, or an opportunity."

When the furious Emperor Hongwen heard this, his anger froze slightly, and he asked doubtfully, "What signal, what opportunity?"

"Your Majesty, the current transfer of the throne seems to be aimed at Princess Wanfu and Prince Jin, but there may be something hidden here."

"Not to mention whether His Royal Highness Prince Jin and Princess Wanfu have this intention, just saying that the bomb has blocked the advance of southern Xinjiang is a fact."

"The King of Jin is currently fighting wholeheartedly on the southern frontline, but he is unreasonably suspected by so many people."

"Why are these people doing this? What is their purpose?"

"It seems to Yi Laonu that these people are all here for the bomb."
