Whether intentionally or unintentionally, there is no restriction on the spread of news in Jinling City. Zhen Youli's identity as the steward of the Tu family, and the suspicious deeds of him and his men in the Neiqiaozhu City area were quickly revealed by the people gathered in that area.

Word of mouth spread among people in Jinling City.

Many of them are officials or wealthy businessmen. Even if the people living on the Qinhuai River are just prodigal sons of the family, it does not mean that there are no discerning people among them. There are various speculations, and some people have found out from various clues.

It was found in the traces that Zhen Li and others seemed to be secretly looking for someone. Some people speculated that they brought sharp weapons with them and disguised their identities. They probably came here to do something shady, either to kill people or to kidnap people.

It’s all bad things anyway.

As for who the target is? From the commander-in-chief, to the oiran on the Qinhuai River, and other officials and businessmen who came here, everyone has a guess. There are even rumors that the Tu family wants to kidnap a beauty back and send her to the palace.

Be the empress here.

Naturally, no one believed him in this ridiculous statement. At most, it was just a few brainless women daydreaming in private. Now that the news has spread in Jinling City, more officials' children will naturally learn from their parents.

For more details, I was excited about the background of the Tu family, and made random speculations in private.

When the governor's yamen, the Jinling Guards, and the prefect's yamen all sent the memorial to the capital, they couldn't help but write the matter in letters and send them to their good friends in the capital. There were also officials or family members who had relatives and friends in the capital.

, treating this matter as a good topic for gossip, they wrote it in the letter, and also made many unreliable guesses. Although they also paid attention not to mention the Tu family's name clearly in the letter, they did enough.

Obvious hint.

The governor's yamen sent the memorial to the capital without using any fast horses such as the 600-mile rush or the 800-mile rush. After all, the prisoner had already been captured, and the two people who escaped were also intensifying their pursuit. This was not

Any major case would at most involve the Queen Mother's natal family, but the governor's office still "thought" that it was probably an imposter, so it didn't matter if the memorial went slower. On the contrary, the personal letters were sent to the capital earlier, so

The gossip spread first.

Until the memorial is sent to the court for the emperor and the cabinet ministers to see, the rumors about the Tu family's stewardship can only be regarded as gossip. Since it is gossip that has not yet been confirmed, no one can stop others.

gossip.

People are gossiping not only about what the steward of the Tu family did in Jinling, but also about Zhen Li’s visit to the Shangyuan County Yamen, and the assassination of the former magistrate of Shangyuan County Yamen. Who is the current acting magistrate, and which family?

The disciples will take over the position of the new county magistrate. Even the new county magistrate and the deceased former magistrate are direct cousins, and they have come up to talk about it. There is also the murderer who has not been arrested yet, which is also a topic of interest to people.

Also postponed are the family background of acting county magistrate Li Yanchao, his relationship with the Tu family, the fact that his younger brother is still working as a henchman around the young master of the Tu family, etc. The conflict between Li Yanchao and Zhao Mo, the descendant of the Liao king, was also mentioned in the letters.

The stabbing came to the capital. Li Yanchao didn't even have a chance to defend himself, so he was judged to be trying to curry favor with his aunt, the Princess of Shu. He did not hesitate to secretly kill Zhao Mo, the grandson of the King of Liao, but failed. As a result, the palace of the King of Shu and the crown prince of the Liao King failed.

Various conflicts and conflicts were again involved after they had subsided for a few months.

Zhao Shuo, the eldest son of King Liao, did not know that his eldest son had been "in danger" in Jinling until this time, so he was naturally very angry. He wanted to persuade his son to stay in Jinling for a few years, until he could establish himself in the court.

When he had lost his heel and no longer had to look at the Wang family's face, he considered whether to call his son back. Who would have thought that his son had only been gone for a few months, and someone would actually do something bad to him! What if his son was suddenly afraid and refused to stay in Jinling?

After going down, he had to go back to the capital, how could he convince his son?

Moreover, even a distant nephew of Princess Shu, a small county magistrate who has no chance to stand on the stage, dares to do harm to his son. Do you really think he is a sick cat?!

Zhao Shuo immediately went to the palace to cry and sue Li Yanchao in front of the emperor. But who was Li Yanchao? He was just a cover. What Zhao Shuo actually wanted to sue was Princess Shu! The Tu family was

By the way, he stamped it with a stamp of inciting crime, and even the youngest son of the King of Shu did not forget to mention it.

The matter was brought to the palace.

In fact, public opinion is also discussing the role played by the Tu family in this matter. The Tu family is indeed the natal family of the Princess of Shu. It is normal to favor their own daughter and grandson a little. But you should also be a little measured.

?They are still the Queen Mother’s natal family! As long as the Queen Mother has no worries, the Tu family will be rich and honorable. Now their status in the capital is also high. Who doesn’t respect them? Why go to find a son because of the failure of the King of Shu’s youngest son to win the heir apparent?

A child's misfortune?

This is really not very magnanimous. Although the failure of the youngest son of the King of Shu is related to the Crown Prince of Liao, it is because the King of Shu framed him first, but the frame-up was not successful. The Princess of Shu and the youngest son of the King of Shu do not blame the King of Shu, but blame the King of Shu.

It's too unreasonable for the Lord to cause suffering.

Moreover, even if Zhao Mo was plotted by them, how much influence could he have on Zhao Shuo, the eldest son of King Liao? He was so cruel that he sent his eldest son thousands of miles away to the south of the Yangtze River for the sake of his stepmother. There are also rumors that he

Asking his son not to come back again. If something happens to his son, in his opinion, it is just a few tears, right? Didn't he know that now that he heard about Li Yanchao, he went directly to the palace to complain without asking if his son was safe?

?And the person being sued was not the culprit, but the two in-laws, the Prince of Shu and the Tu family.

It was clearly rumored that Li Yanchao targeted Zhao Mo in order to please Princess Shu. In Zhao Shuo's words, it was said that he was instigated and instigated to do harm to Zhao Mo. Even the Tu family steward's actions in Jinling were also

It is said that he wants to take revenge on Zhao Mo. Isn't his purpose obvious?

Even if Zhao Shuo didn't dare to regard the Tu family as the culprit, it would only be to hinder the Queen Mother. He used the excuse that Zhenli was Mrs. Tu's roommate, and all the accusations were directed at Mrs. Tu. In fact, the target was still Mrs. Tu.

Madame’s daughter, Princess Shu.

There was a lot of discussion in the capital, and there were all kinds of rumors. The censor even heard about the incident and directly went to the head of the Tu family to get involved.

The head of the Tu family couldn't sit still anymore. He went to his wife angrily and asked: "What is going on? Listen to what people outside are saying?! I asked you where Zhenli went, and you said

He went out shopping. He went out shopping in the first month of the year? Who do you think would believe it?! Well, since he went shopping, where did he go? Even if there are many places, they should have names, right? I will let people

Search all the way to see if he has really gone to those places, and you can also clear his suspicions, but you refuse to say a word, or use lies to excuse it. How long do you think you can hide it?! Rumor has it that he has been arrested.

You have fallen into the hands of the Jinling government, and they will recruit you sooner or later, what should you do then?!"

Mrs. Tu's face was pale, and she was secretly complaining that the roommate was not doing well. She wanted to continue to prevaricate, but her husband refused to cooperate. Mrs. Tu didn't go out, so she didn't know how big the rumors were outside.

It was fierce. How many brothers, nephews and nephews in the family came to the head of the family to inquire about the news. Everyone thought this kind of thing was too ridiculous. How could the Tu family be at odds with Zhao Mo? Before Zhao Mo left Beijing, he was fighting with the Tu family children outside.

When they met, they were all polite to each other. How could there be any deep hatred? It must be Zhao Shuo using the topic to play on the subject, or maybe the bad guy from Jinling used the name of a slave of the Tu family. This kind of thing must be clarified as soon as possible.

The head of the Tu family talks about dealing with his brothers and nephews, but he is not so optimistic in his heart. He knows that Zhen Youli has left the capital. His wife is vague about Zhen Youli's whereabouts, which shows that there is a problem. It was just a rumor at first, and he is okay.

He defended himself in front of others. But now, news came from the DPRK. The memorial from Jinling had arrived. The contents were similar to those in the rumors. This matter could no longer be blurred. He had to get it from his wife.

A definite answer.

In the end, Mrs. Tu couldn't hide it from her husband, so she had to cry: "I can't help it. You can't see the miserable appearance of the princess and her grandson. When they first arrived in the capital, they were so beautiful! I only hope to be reunited with flesh and blood."

Who knew we would still have to say goodbye! Now it’s just that the princess wants to arrange a marriage for her grandson, so she has received the grace of the Queen Mother and can stay in the capital. When the marriage is confirmed, the princess will go back to Shu again. I haven’t seen my daughter in twenty years

It’s hard to see each other, but we have to be separated again. I don’t know if we will see each other again in this life. This is cutting the flesh in my heart! As long as I can keep my child in the capital, what can’t I do?!

"

The head of the Tu family was not blinded by her crying. He directly pointed out the flaw in her words: "What does this have to do with the descendants of the Liao king? Are you really planning to ask Zhen Li to assassinate a child?! He is dead, and

What's the problem with the Prince of Liao? It will only anger the Prince of Liao! The Prince of Shu is losing power now, so let's just talk about the marriage. All the previous things have passed, why bother to have another dispute?! Do you think that the Prince of Liao has no legitimate son?

, can my grandson be the crown prince?!"

Mrs. Tu was suffocated. Faced with her husband's serious expression and his unwillingness to give up without asking for the truth, she still failed to keep the real secret: "No...not the grandson of the King of Liao..."

The head of the Tu family frowned: "What do you mean?"

Mrs. Tu said with a trembling voice: "Zhen Li did not go there for the child. It was... Yanchao wrote a secret letter to the princess, telling her... His Highness the Crown Prince is seeking medical treatment in Jinling incognito..."

The head of the Tu family just felt like a thunderbolt from the blue, his body couldn't help but sway, and stars were shining in front of his eyes. With great difficulty, he calmed down: "What did you say? What... what did you ask Zhen Li to do?! The prince... the prince is in Jinling?"

Princess...what is the princess going to do?!"

Seeing that Mrs. Tu had told the truth and had nothing to hide, her whole body seemed to be deflated and she fell softly to the ground: "The princess said that since my grandson has the support of the Queen Mother, then the position of emperor's heir should be

It is a sure thing, and there is no need for the King of Shu to bother to plot against the Crown Prince of Liao. The reason why we are in the current situation is because the position of the emperor cannot be decided for a long time. Who knows that the Crown Prince is still there? He also went to Jinling

He sought medical treatment and heard that his health has improved. If...if he really lives a few more years, who knows who will be the winner in the end? But the princess can't wait any longer..."

The head of the Tu family finally heard the answer he least wanted to hear. His vision went dark and he fell forward.

The head of the Tu family said that Dou E was not wronged by me~~~
