Chapter 171: Angry and heartbroken ([-]th update, please vote for me)

Zhu Qiyu cared about Wang Zhi very much, so after Wang Zhi showed concern about Wang Ying, Zhu Qiyu immediately comforted Wang Zhi with a forced smile.

During this period, Wang Zhi performed very well. He basically memorized all the military books. Moreover, Lin Cunde also taught him other aspects of knowledge in the mansion, especially geography.

Zhu Qiyu knew Wang Zhi's performance during this period, so he couldn't bear to worry Wang Zhi.

"Thank you, brother-in-law. Dad also said before leaving for the expedition that if there is any trouble, just ask the eldest brother-in-law and the second brother-in-law!" Wang Zhi heard Zhu Qiyu say this, and said with a smile.

"Well, go ahead. My eldest brother-in-law has something to do today, so I won't keep you here. By the way, don't go to Kunning Palace either. Don't let your sister worry!" Zhu Qiyu told Wang Zhi that he didn't want to do this. I hope Wang Meilin will worry about it.

Wang Zhi smiled and nodded: "I know, the eldest sister is more than six months pregnant, but I don't dare to worry the eldest sister!"

"Well! Go!" Zhu Qiyu said with a smile.

Wang Zhi bowed his hands to Zhu Qiyu and exited the imperial study.

Zhu Qiyu sat there and thought about the rumors written by Lin Cunde. Rumors?

It was difficult for Zhu Qiyu to understand, but logically speaking, Cunde could not have no countermeasures. If there were no countermeasures, Cunde would have let Xiaozhi talk to him.

But he didn't say it, he just sent these rumors.

"What's the use of rumors? Rumors are just rumors!" Zhu Qiyu still touched his forehead and couldn't understand.

But now, outside the imperial city, it is very lively. Today, the common people are like celebrating the New Year. There is a lack of entertainment in the capital. Among the common people, they are all in conflict with each other. Now that such exciting news has come, shouldn't they be excited?

Even those women who are prostitutes at home will talk about the cabinet ministers while doing so.

After he finished speaking, he would yell and scold them for not being human.

Chen Xun and the others were unaware of all this until around noon, when the officials who came to the cabinet to handle matters looked at Chen Xun and the others, and there was something completely wrong.

It doesn't matter if there are one or two, but the looks in the eyes of the officials who came in looked wrong, which made them a little confused.

At this time, an official from the Ministry of Revenue came over to do something. After finishing the matter, he saw Chen Xun and the others wanting to stop talking, but finally decided not to say anything. This matter had nothing to do with him. Besides, maybe they all knew about it.

"Wait a minute!" Chen Xun couldn't bear it anymore and called out to the official from the Ministry of Revenue.

"Mr. Chen Ge, what are your orders?" The young household official said with cupped hands, lacking respect.

"Why did you look at us like this just now? Besides, you're not the only one. Several people who just came in looked like this. But is there something that we don't know about? In other words, I have done something that I'm sorry for you. Why do you think so of me and others?" Chen Xun stood up and walked up to the young Ministry of Revenue official with his hands behind his back.

The Ministry of Household official was a little nervous. He quickly shook his head and said nervously: "No, no, there is no such thing!"

"Then why are you doing this?" Chen Xun asked, staring closely at the young official.

The young official didn't want to cause trouble, let alone be hated by Chen Xun, so he could only say: "Actually, it's nothing. If Mr. Ge wants to know, just go and listen outside. There are many rumors about Mr. Ge and others. , are all very bad!”

"Rumors? What rumors?" Chen Xun was very confused when he heard about this.

Gao Gu, Shang Ren and others also stood up and wanted to ask what the rumors were.

"This, this, a few adults will find out if they go out and inquire. I will resign!" The young household official said and immediately turned around and walked quickly outside. It was useless for Chen Xun to shout from behind.

It's not that the Ministry of Revenue official is ignorant, he really doesn't dare to say that the rumor has nothing to do with him. But if he tells Chen Xun and others that they will be angry and hold a grudge against him, he will suffer a loss.

There are also many officials in the cabinet. If they don't say anything, if they speak out on their own, wouldn't they be looking for trouble for themselves?

If it's a good thing, tell it yourself and you'll get a good start.

"Rumors, what rumors?" Chen Xun looked at the cabinet officials in confusion. Those officials who assisted the cabinet in running errands all shook their heads. They came earlier than Chen Xun and others, and there were many things to do today, so they He didn't go outside to chat with other officials. How could he know that?

"Rumors are just rumors. Don't take them seriously. I drafted those memorials anyway, so I can take a half-day break in the afternoon!" Shang Ren smiled and said,

He didn't pay attention to the rumors at all. He didn't know that the version about him was the most popular outside. Because he was young and already a cabinet minister, there were things about him, women, and corruption. Lin Cunde didn't recognize those versions, and Lin Cunde even doubted whether Shang Ren had really done such a thing?

When Chen Xun heard what Shang Ren said, he nodded and was about to walk to his desk. Just after taking a few steps, Shang Ren stopped. He thought in his mind that yesterday afternoon, they had people pass the news. The news that came out was the rumor that Wang Ying deliberately killed Ye Xian's son and brother, and wanted to murder the Supreme Emperor.

They just spread rumors about Wang Ying yesterday, and today, there are rumors about themselves and others outside. This is obviously a confrontation and revenge.

"No, no, you guys, go and inquire quickly, go quickly!" Chen Xun's expression changed drastically, and he immediately pointed at several officials and told them to inquire immediately.

Gao Gu, Shang Ren and others looked at Chen Xun in confusion. Chen Xun's expression was not pretty at the moment. "What's wrong? There's no need to be so nervous, right?" Gao Gu also frowned and looked at Chen Xun and said.

"Think about what we agreed yesterday. Today, rumors about us have come out. This is revenge, revenge!" Chen Xun shouted at them.

A few people will listen to it, right?

They were the ones spreading some rumors before, but who would have thought that someone would also start spreading their rumors.

"Go quickly, why are you standing here? We'll do the work later!" Gao Gu shouted to the officials who were still surprised.

Then he quickly arrived at Chen Xun's side, and his expression was not very good either.

"I guess these rumors are not very good!" Chen Xun frowned and said with a worried look.

"Who did it? Who has such courage?" Gao Gu was very angry at the moment, but still lowered his voice.

"Who else? Who else can help Wang Ying?" Chen Xun said angrily. The one who can help Wang Ying is either His Majesty or Lin Cunde.

It's impossible for Your Majesty, so only Lin Cunde is left. But if you want to find evidence, it will be difficult.

For example, it is very difficult to find evidence for spreading rumors about Wang Ying. Moreover, there is a huge difference between the final version of the rumor and the initial version, making it even more difficult to find evidence!

"How dare Lin Cunde do this?" Gao Gu said through gritted teeth!

Chen Xun glanced at Gao Gu and said, "Ding You is in the house and he is not going out. If he is touched, something big may happen and he may get out of control! Let's deal with this matter later! Now we need to find out clearly what kind of rumor it is!"

Chen Xun and the others were restless in the cabinet and urgently needed to know what kind of rumors were outside.

After waiting for almost half an hour, the officials came back, covered in sweat. It was almost noon in the summer. How could it not be hot if we went out at this time?

"What exactly is being reported?" Chen Xun and others stood up anxiously, staring at the officials and asked.

Several officials looked at me and I looked at you, and they discussed it on the way. No one wanted to say anything, but no one wanted to say anything.

"Say, you say!" Chen Xun pointed at one of the officials and asked sternly.

"Okay, there are many rumors, various versions, all five cabinet elders have rumors! And, and!" The official was also very nervous when asked, not knowing whether to tell them about this matter.

"Say, rumors are rumors, what's not to say?" Gao Gu scolded from the side.

At this time, Wang Zhi, Jin Lian, and Yu Shiyue came together.

When Chen Xun saw them coming, it was hard to ask.

The three of them also heard the rumors and came here specially.

"What do you want?" Chen Xun said displeasedly with his hands behind his back.

"Mr. Chen Ge, there are a lot of rumors about you outside. We must take this matter seriously. Moreover, it will have a huge impact on the names of several of you. Now, I estimate that the people have already classified you as Wang Zhen. !" Wang Zhi frowned and said to Chen Xun.

"What? What kind of rumor is that? Tell me quickly!" Chen Xun was anxious. When did he become the same kind of person as Yu Wang Zhen.

The few officials who went to inquire were relieved. Fortunately, the three of them came, otherwise, they would really dare not say anything.

"I only know part of it. I heard that there are many rumors outside. One of the rumors is that Mr. Chen Ge has raised a woman outside, and all the corrupt money has been sent to the place where the woman lives. Moreover, your son and That woman is having an affair. In addition, the housekeeper in your house is also having an affair with that woman! Also, your son has raised several women outside, who specialize in helping you collect money. Your son collects money while you do things! " Wang Zhi looked at Chen Xun and said with a wry smile.

This version is not Lin Cunde's original version, it has been processed.

"What? How is that possible! That's nonsense, that's nonsense!" Chen Xun immediately reprimanded him. When had he ever done such a thing?

"It's just nonsense. How can we not know who Mr. Chen Ge is?" Gao Gu also scolded him.

Wang glanced straight, thinking that the rumors about you were not much better, and were even worse than Chen Xun.

Yu Shiyue, who was next to him, said worriedly: "But the people are discussing it like this. Moreover, this news will soon spread throughout the country after passing through those caravans. The people don't know Mr. Chen Ge, let alone know Mr. Chen Ge." What a human being!”

"Old man, old man, old man!" Chen Xun said several old men, and he was so anxious that he soon fainted without taking a breath, rolled his eyes.

Wang Zhi and the others also had quick eyesight and quick hands. They all supported Chen Xun, anxious. Gao Gu also shouted quickly: "Pinch Renzhong, hurry up, pinch Renzhong!"
