"I heard ..." It seems hard to say.
The man looked around carefully after saying a few words.
Upon seeing that everyone was just staring at her curiously, she whispered, "I heard that side concubine was infected with the plague."
"..."
The surrounding area was silent.
The deadly silence.
It could be said that it was as if the pause button was pressed suddenly.
Everything stops.
Everyone stopped and looked at the man with a different expression.
Looking at the eyes of the crowd, the man hurriedly said, "I heard it! I heard from someone else! I'm not the one who said it!"
"Pa—!"
As soon as those words came off, a man slapped the table.
Hard and charming.
Hearing this voice, everyone around looked at this man with astonishment, doubt, and confusion in their eyes.
The man stood up.
His tall and mighty figure made everyone feel afraid.
The tall and strong man looked at the person who had just spoken with sharp eyes. "Yesterday someone made a rumor that a side concubine was hit by a plague, and the person was sent to a government office. Still no rumors today? Could it be that they want to make my Lizhou look like Minzhou?"
The man's voice was loud, without anger, but his voice was thick like a bell, which made people's hearts tremble.
The face of the man who said that turned pale from fear.
He quickly stood up, clenching his hands together. "Brother, I didn't spread the rumors, I just heard them, really just heard them!"
The man's voice shook with fear. It was seen that he was very scared, and at the same time he actually heard it, not the person who deliberately spread rumors and caused trouble.
The tall and strong man looked at him. "What you heard was completely wrong, and you said it casually, have you thought about the consequences?"
Hearing this, the others replied, "Right! I heard about the rumor yesterday. Someone deliberately bribed that person to say it!"
"I heard it too, and that person is still locked up by the government!"
"Not only that, I heard that the government tortured the man, asking, who is behind the scenes!"
"I also saw the notice, because of the rumors yesterday, the government ordered someone to stick the notice, so that the people in the city do not listen to the rumors, lest the criminals succeed in their ruse!"
"I know about this too!"
"I think our Lizhou may have been laced with a Nanjia spy!"
"Maybe ! Very likely!"
"..."
Immediately, the eyes of the people around fell on the pale-faced man.
The man was so frightened that he fainted and fell to the ground, sweating profusely.
He really just heard it!
He's not that spy!
For a while, the environment became quiet.
And this silence seemed to eat people.
The man looked at the scene that seemed to tear him apart, and said in a trembling voice. "I ..."
"Xiao'er, bill!"
The clear voice let loose, breaking the stifling silence and interrupting the man's conversation.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Shang Liang Yue.
Including that tall and strong man.
However, Shang Liang Yue did not seem to notice it.
Get up, pick up the folding fan, put his hands behind his back, and walk away from the cake shop.
Ditz took out the silver, and put the silver in Xiao'er's hand, when Xiao'er came.
The waiter immediately smiled and bowed. “Participant, be careful!”
The two left a dim sum shop, including a cat.
The tall and strong man narrowed his tiger eyes as he looked at the two figures and shadows of the cat.
The gentle man on the ground hurriedly got up, tripped and ran away.
If you don't run, you'll die!
After Shang Liang Yue walked out of the dim sum shop, she walked slowly in the market. He held the fan in his hand, and the tip of the fan knocked on his palm again and again.
There were shouts and snacks from the merchants around, as well as chatter in groups of three or four.
Which master has a new concubine.
Or who has a problem with his neighbor.
Often because one of your chickens eats my grain of corn.
A duck in your house pecked at the fence of my house and got angry.
All kinds of words.
These words fell into Shang Liang Yue's ears, and Shang Liang Yue did not feel relieved after hearing them.
But a few words he put into his heart.
For example, the person who spread the gossip yesterday was sent to the government, tortured and interrogated, it turns out that the person was assigned, not yet known with certainty, but the government has put up a notice, he said, so that people will not listen to rumors at will in the future.
These words were similar to those heard in the dim sum shop, but from what Shang Liang Yue heard, this matter might not be simple.
His eyes fell forward.
Far ...
From here, he could see the roof of the palace overturned.
Yesterday Di Jiu Tan was seriously ill and in a coma, so she may not have known these things.
What about today?
Does he know?
* * *
Prince Tan's House.
Workroom.
Di Jiu Tan was much better this morning. She could get out of bed and take a walk, so she asked Dong Lai to take care of her and help her work.
He was in charge of Lizhou, and the people below would send and report to him every day what was happening at various places in Lizhou.
Only in this way could he manage Li Zhou well.
But yesterday he was in a coma, and those big and small affairs may have piled up on the table.
Indeed indeed.
When Di Jiu Tan came to the study, his desk was full of documents.
Di Jiu Tan looked at the pile of papers and said, "Help me over there."
"Yes, my lord." Dong Lai carefully helped Di Jiu Tan sit down.
Di Jiu Tan picked up the papers and started flipping through them. "Serve pen and ink."
"Yes." Yeah." Dong Lai did not want Di Jiu Tan to be too tired.
However, not even the empress could persuade Di Jiu Tan, let alone Dong Lai?
Dong Lai took out an ink stone, and began to stand beside Di Jiu Tan.
Breathing in the workspace quickly becomes silent.
However, within half an hour, Di Jiu Tan's face darkened. “Go and invite head of government office.”
“Ya.” Dong Lai came out and ordered someone to invite the head of the government office.
After giving the order, he entered.
As soon as he entered, Di Jiu Tan said, "Call the side concubine."
Dong Lai stopped, then bowed. "Yes." Yeah." Dong Lai left the study to call Bai Xixian.
Bai Xixian was beside the medicinal stove, making medicine for Di Jiu Tan.
Mei Zhu came to her side, bending her knees. "Miss, Donglai said that master wants you to go to the study."
Bai Xixian was about to open the lid of the medicine jar with a towel to look at the medicine inside, when she heard Mei Zhu's words, she stopped. Looking at Mei Zhu. "My master asked me to go to the study?"
"Yes, Madam."
Bai Xixian lowered her head, thought for a moment, and said, "You pay attention here, and the contents of the medicine if it is suitable."
"Yes." Yeah."
Bai Xi stood up, straightened her clothes, and asked Mei Xiang to show her hair makeup and accessories to see if anything was inappropriate.
Mei Xiang saw her, and tidied it up for her, and there was no shortage, so Bai Xixian went to Di Jiu Tan's study.
But before going to Di Jiu Tan's study, Bai Xixian asked Dong Lai what had happened.
The prince rarely asked him to go to the study, unless he took the initiative to bring soup to the prince.
Dong Lai said, "Slaves don't know."
Bai Xixian nodded. "This concubine knows."
Dong Lai did not lie, if he said he did not know, he did not know.
It didn't take long for the two of them to come to Di Jiu Tan's study.
Bai Xi bent his knees. "My lord."
Di Jiu Tan looked at him and said ...
