Chapter 103: Fishing in troubled waters (1)

Under the warm spring sun, the glazed tiles shine brightly, the roofs are lined up, and the yellow lanterns under the eaves are slightly shaken. In the bustling imperial capital, all kinds of people are walking in the downtown area, with a lot of people.

The hot smoke emerged from the lid of the pot, and the simple roadside stall, three of them were eating wontons while chatting about the most popular gossip.

"Have you been to listen to the storytelling in a hundred teahouses recently?" A middle-aged man swallowed two wontons in one mouthful and said proudly, after all, it costs money to go there to listen to books.

Of course, ordinary families will not spend the spare money to listen to books. Those who can go in and listen are some spare money and don’t have to work hard for their lives.

"Have you gone to listen?" A young man in a slightly cold dress next to him approached and asked curiously.

"That's it." The man deliberately kept his hands behind closed doors and continued to swallow two wontons.

The young man simply brought the hot bowl over, sat on the same table as the big man, and asked, "Tell me, what secrets have you told today?"

"By the way, did you say that the emperor finally pointed out who led the troops to fight for this time?"

"The result has not been released yet, but during the game, General Meng, who is experienced on the battlefield, was captured alive by Chu Muchen twice."

"Being captured alive by Master Chu? Didn't you claim that Master Chu was a child with a yellow mouth before?" The young man held back his laughter, "He deserved it."

He whispered to himself: "My sister really didn't take it wrong. That eldest son Chu is really a dragon and a phoenix among people."

"That's right, Master Chu was outstanding in this competition. Everyone guessed that he was the leader of the expedition this time." The big man's silly voice.

"General Xuanwei fought with the Dongwu clan before, and the Dongwu thieves suffered many losses in front of General Xuanwei. The eldest son of Chu was better than the blue, and he would definitely beat the Dongwu clan dog thief to the point of being beaten."

The young man smiled and agreed, just wanting to hear more interesting things.

"What interesting things did the storyteller say today?"

"That's a shocking secret, and it's about the romantic affairs between the prince of the Wu tribe in Dong and a Jingui family in the imperial capital."

“How to say it?”

"The matter goes back twenty years ago, when the Dongwu tribe attacked the border, he sent a general to fight against the enemy, and defeated the Dongwu tribe. The Dongwu prince was so angry that he sent someone to capture the general's wife.

.”

"What will happen if a girl with no power to tie a chicken into the military camp of those dog thieves?"

"Didn't the general go to save him?" the young man asked worriedly.

"I went there, but it was still too late. Although the war was won and the Dongwu tribe fled, he also fled with the general's wife. When the general found it, the general's wife's belly was already very big."

"this……"

"In desperation, I had to wait for the general's wife to give birth to a child. The general's wife wanted to strangle the newborn baby to death, but the girl looked so well-behaved and smiled at her, so she couldn't do anything."

"Although the general's wife's experience deserves sympathy, the child is innocent." The young man sighed.

The people who were eating wontons at a few tables next to them also pricked up their ears to listen, fearing that they would miss the exciting part.

"Yes, so the general was not able to do anything. On the way back, he rescued a businessman under the knife of a bandit. His surname was Song, so he handed the child over to the Song family to raise."

"The general should be so heartbroken that he killed countless enemies on the battlefield, but he could not even protect his wife." The young man was melancholy.

"Do you think the story will be over here?" The big man was a little proud, just patronizing the gossip, and even forgot to eat wonton.

"Is there any story?" asked the woman at the table.

"The story behind is wonderful."

“How to say it?”

"The girl grew up in the Song family, and by chance, she married the famous Jingui family in the imperial capital."

"What's so exciting about this? It's very ordinary!" The young man was a little disappointed.

"But this young master of the Jingui family later became a general who attacked the Dongwu clan. As a result, the girl betrayed her husband and colluded with the Dongwu clan, causing her husband to be defeated."

"This is the harm of the evil spirit! The general should have learned about this disaster with one knife!" The woman stood up in anger.

"That's right, the blood of those beasts is left in the body." The young man was also angry.

"Later, the girl fled back to the Dongwu tribe and became a princess."

"Princess? So the one who defiled the general's wife was the prince?"

“That’s right.”

"Why didn't the general's wife say it? Otherwise, on the day of her birth, she would definitely kill the disaster!"

The big man narrowed his bright eyes slightly, "This whole thing is actually very terrifying to think about it carefully."

"What do you say?" The young man suppressed his anger and wanted to hear the story behind him.

"You think, how could the daughter of a merchant have the opportunity to marry into the imperial capital Jingui family? There are big problems here."

"You mean, all this is the plan of Dongwu Gou Thief? Even the merchant is in the same group as Dongwu Gou Thief?"

The young man seemed to think of something, "Wait, which general are you talking about? Which noble family? He married the daughter of a merchant, and the daughter of a merchant is still surnamed Song..."

"The storyteller didn't say it."

The woman at the next table simply sat over and looked thoughtful, "You said that, you can really match someone."

"Who?" asked curiously.

The woman leaned over and whispered: "A few years ago, a businessman's daughter married into the Marquis' Mansion. The dowry of more than a dozen boxes caused a sensation in the whole city, and it seemed that her surname was Song."

"I remember that my surname is Song. I met him in another place and the family made a fuss for a while before I agreed."

"After you say this, I remembered it. A few days ago, the storyteller mentioned that the Jingui family married the daughter of the merchant, just to plan for her generous dowry so that she could continue to maintain the dignity of the Marquis' Mansion in the imperial capital."

"Yes, isn't it just the gradually declining Zhou Hou Mansion!"

"Oh!" the young man thought to himself, "Didn't Mr. Zhou also participate in the ring competition this time and enter the finals? Maybe there is hope to be selected and lead troops to attack the Dongwu Gou Thief!"

"Oh, this is bad. What if the girl named Song is really a spy from Dongwu, wouldn't she take the soldiers to die in this battle?" The woman said worriedly. Her son was in the army and happened to attack Dongwu.

Family.

Half an hour later, the rumors that the young lady of the Zhou Hou Mansion was suspected to be Princess Dongwu spread throughout the streets and alleys. The people were worried. The impulsive young man quietly followed Song Wan'er's carriage, waiting for an opportunity to eliminate the harm for the people.

In front of the gate of the Zhou Hou’s mansion, Song Wan'er walked off the carriage and returned to the mansion.

Not long after, when Mr. Zhou came back, he began to seek punishment. If it weren't for her generous dowry, how could a businessman's daughter marry into the Marquis's Mansion as her wife? He had looked down on Song Wan'er, but now

There were rumors outside, and he was so angry that he was so angry that he was not angry.

Although the Zhou Hou’s Mansion was in decline, it was never slandered, not to mention that it was related to the Dongwu tribe this time. Even if the matter was fake, it would definitely have an impact on the seizure of military power.

There is another update.
