Chapter 40 Rumor

s

Author: Feng Si Niang

s

When Yan Tao left the old minister's home, he didn't realize that it was already dark. All he could think about was recalling what the old minister had just said:

His grandson failed to live up to his expectations, got drunk and made trouble in a brothel. He got into a fight over an oiran and ended up beating him to death!

Later I found out that he was a relative of the third prince's mother's family, the Long family. The third prince's temper was so bad that one should immediately pay for it with his life!

But although the grandson of Lao Shangshu is a rotten tree that cannot be carved, he is also the only golden grandson.

In order to save his life, Lao Shangshu had no choice but to accept the olive branch offered by the Eighth Prince and became a member of the Eighth Prince's party. Even in the Ministry of Punishment, he turned a blind eye.

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that beating people to death was also Master Ba's work.

Yan Taoxue tightened his grip, but found that it was wet with sweat and could not be tightened tightly.

You have to quickly think of a surefire way to escape! Yan Taoxue walked west all the way home, but he didn't even notice that he was being watched out of the alley...

***

"Hey, have you heard? The young master of the Long family is dead!"

"How could it be! I saw him at the Huotai Casino yesterday! He put on a bad face at the beginning, and then kept losing money. Where did he die? How did he die?"

"Isn't it just yesterday! You must have not seen him go to a brothel in a big way after losing money."

"Hehe~ He died on Sister Yao's bed? Isn't it said that he was a manly man?"

"Both men and women are welcome, raw and cold are not tabooed. Mr. Long was truly a legend in his life, and he left a mark on the world until his death!"

Mr. Long's aunt, the thousand-year-old empress in the palace, naturally didn't believe that she could die in a brothel for no reason, so she ordered the Ministry of Punishment to send the best widowers, guess what?"

"Oh, tell me quickly!"

The cause of Long Wanzong's death and what happened after his death simply became a new topic of conversation on the streets after the Fei Lu case. However, the Fei Lu case aroused the common hatred and hatred among ordinary people.

As for Long Wanzong's death, everyone applauded and happily poured dirty water on Long Wanzong.

On the street, people gathered in twos and threes from time to time chatting:

"Wu Zuo said that before Mr. Long died..., but the strange thing is that many people saw Mr. Long ordering a chick to bud it for others!"

"But isn't that kiln sister also a 'red shopkeeper' now?"

"What do you know? If the girl you played with Mr. Long is still perfect the next day, does Mr. Long still have to hang out in the capital?"

"Haha, he is already a dead man, so of course he doesn't have to mess around anymore! I thought he was also a romantic ghost when he became a ghost, but I didn't expect that he was stupefied to death because he couldn't do it!"

A relatively sane man among the gossip community said: "No, the government said they died of suffocation..."

After hearing this, the people around burst into laughter.

Even better, it turns out that Long Wanzong also likes this kind of play, let's get rid of it! I wonder if he likes to eat women's whips...

When Yan Taoxue passed by, he felt even more disgusted when he heard the people's incoherent comments. It's nothing more than making money with everyone's words!

When these grown men gossip, each of them becomes more nagging than the other.

Although Long Wanzong himself is not a good person, there seems to be nothing wrong with being entertained like this after his death?

Just as he was thinking about it, a large number of officers and soldiers came to disperse the gossiping crowd.

The enthusiastic old men who were talking about it just now suddenly became like birds and beasts and dispersed like the ebbing tide.

The more rumors are suppressed, the more likely they will come back again; the officers and soldiers dare to drive them away, but they dare not arrest them.

No matter how domineering Concubine Long is, the Long family has lost one of its pillars. There is really no one in the family who can hold up the building. For the sake of the future and the mercy of the Lord, we cannot make things worse.

Moreover, Long Wanzong himself choked to death on his own vomit because he had drunk too much and lay flat on his back. There was no trace of homicide at all at the scene!

Yan Taoxue was knocked out more than ten feet by these rampaging officials. Just as he was about to open his mouth to argue, he suddenly had an idea.

He can perfectly avoid the Baye Party's solicitation of him, and even make them give up on his own initiative.

***

However, some of the folk rumors are still credible, that is, Concubine Long was furious:

"Bastard! A bunch of losers! Trash!"

Concubine Long's well-maintained face was red with anger. Although the wrinkles on her face were not visible, the veins on her neck still revealed her age and mood at this time.

Her long scarlet nails didn't even notice when she hit something and got broken.

Finally, after venting his anger, he sat down on the imperial concubine's couch as if he had exhausted all his strength.

The kneeling palace man below felt like he had been given a new lease of life. His body that was lying tightly on the ground no longer trembled. It seemed that he had a chance to breathe and slowly returned to normal.

The death of Long Wanzong had a great impact on the imperial concubine. In addition, the results given by the Ministry of Punishments did not seem to satisfy the imperial concubine. They had been working cautiously for an unknown number of days.

It is a blessing to have a small life. Those who are not smart enough to do things slowly will have gone to the underworld to meet the king of hell.

The third prince looked at his insane mother and concubine. He was not only dissatisfied, he was extremely angry.

Isn't this the conclusion given by the Ministry of Punishment?

What suffocation didn't shoot out Yuanyang? How much room for people's imagination and speculation do they put together?

The imperial concubine’s well-maintained fingers pressed her temples:

"Pan'er, as an elder brother, you should be more considerate of your cousin's funeral..."

It wasn't until Concubine Long felt a stinging pain from her fingertips that she realized that her nails had been cut off, revealing the flesh-pink nail caps and the bloody tender flesh inside.

Concubine Long frowned and subconsciously relaxed her brows.

"I am still worried about the losers in the Ministry of Justice. How could Wan Zong just say no and be gone? Have his personal attendants carefully interrogated him?"

Zhou Pan tilted his head and thought about the beaten servants who had lost their human form, and thought about what they all said, saying that they didn't hear any strange noise at all.

Zhou Pan felt that since people were interrogated separately, the probability of colluding to commit perjury was very low.

I heard from Long's family that Long Wanzong didn't lose anything. Since it wasn't for money, none of his enemies in Beijing wanted to kill him;

Ordinary people? Don't be ridiculous, those common people like ants can't even get close to him, so why kill him?

"...Mother and concubine, the matter is now over. The probability of my cousin committing suicide is still very low, but we want outsiders to see our attitude and our father's attitude towards our Long family;

So I have to trouble my mother and concubine to mention it to my father and let Jin Yiwei come forward to handle the case."

Concubine Long was silent for a long time, and seemed to have no choice but to accept this fact.

"Pan'er, I'm waiting for you to go to the Long family in person to take care of your cousin's funeral affairs;

Your cousin has been very devoted to my mother, my concubine, and your cousin over the years. You must handle his funeral affairs perfectly so that people can see that your brotherhood is true!"
