Zhao Meng hummed a little tune, sat back down, happily drank some wine and ate side dishes.
In fact, he doesn't need to test the poison when he eats here, because all the big restaurants in Lin'an are basically run by the government, so the Imperial City Department can easily put surveillance personnel in to poison Zhao Mengqi's food. impossible.
In other words, all that happened just now was just his attempt to tease the arrogant and arrogant Qian Duo.
At this time, there were more and more guests in the restaurant, and the lobby was extremely lively. Under the influence of wine, people talked about sex more and more intensely, and what most people talked about was naturally the hot topic, 'Loyalty to the King'.
Not only were there criticisms about Zhao Mengqi's fight in the Qian Mansion, there were also some strange rumors coming out of people's mouths.
"Tell me, how did the Qian family offend Prince Zhong?"
"Offended? No matter how arrogant the Qian family is, they are still ministers of the Song Dynasty. How dare they offend the crown prince? Unless they are insane!"
"Hehe, the Qian family has always acted in an orderly manner, how could they be so crazy? The root cause of this matter... is actually King Zhong's sexual desire!"
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything randomly. You must have some evidence for what you say."
"This is a secret matter. I told you not to spread it everywhere. Some time ago, Princess Rong celebrated her birthday. Prince Zhong went to pay her birthday. He met the young lady of the Qian family who also went to wish her birthday. This young lady of Qian's family is ours. There are countless beauties in the Song Dynasty. When King Zhong saw them, he became lustful and couldn't restrain his lust. He wanted to have sex with Miss Qian, but Miss Qian refused, so King Zhong wanted to force the king to take advantage of her. , luckily I was caught by someone and saved Miss Qian.”
"Real or fake!? How could a dignified prince do such a ridiculous thing!?"
"Of course it's true. At that time, many people had seen the little lady Qian who had just escaped from the clutches of the devil. She was disheveled and in a mess, with wounds on her hands and face. Think about it, how many people in the Song Dynasty dare to do this to her? Is the daughter of the Qian family rude?"
"What you said seems to make some sense when you think about it carefully. Not to mention the power and status of the Qian family, just because Princess Rong is Miss Qian's biological aunt, no one in Prince Rong's palace dares to bully her. , if there is, it is definitely not an ordinary person!"
"Who else would dare except that one? It is said that he not only has a crush on Miss Qian, but also Concubine Qian... Hehe, you know."
"Oh! No wonder Concubine Qian suddenly ran back to her parents' home. That's how it is!"
"Tsk, tsk, Concubine Qian is his aunt. If she is not adopted, she is his aunt! He actually dares to violate human ethics and commit such a heinous act!"
"That's not all. The one who didn't succeed was naturally unwilling to accept it. A few days ago, he was looking for a chance to leave the palace and couldn't wait to find the Qian family. After being rejected, he became angry and used force against the Qian family. He ordered She was so stupid that she even did it herself, and she was very vicious!"
"We can understand that men are lustful, and gentle ladies and gentlemen are lustful, but to be so unscrupulous, despicable, and even ignore ordinary ethics is simply not human!"
"Oh, if that person becomes the official of our Song Dynasty, wouldn't it mean that all the people in the world will suffer? It's okay if this wife and daughter are just mediocre in appearance, otherwise..."
"So what? The Qian family, one of the top wealthy families, had to succumb to that man's power in the end and give up their daughter. We are just a bunch of officials and can't do anything. Let's just accept our fate. Okay, okay. La, let’s not talk about this, I will get drunk today if I have wine..."
The conversation at this table gradually became quieter, and they turned to discussing a new item of clothing.
After hearing what these people said, Zhao Mengqi really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This person who spread rumors is really quite good. This kind of exciting topic of bullying men and women and suspected incest is always the most popular and spreads the fastest.
In a public place like a restaurant, these people are still officials, and their words are somewhat controlled. If they were behind the scenes, they would definitely add fuel to the fire and describe all kinds of erotic dramas.
Moreover, to discredit a person, the best tactic is to label him as 'licentious and immoral', which has been tried and tested since ancient times.
He pinched his brows. Although Zhao Mengqi felt unhappy, he didn't mean to get angry. There was never any effective way to deal with such rumors that had been spread.
As the saying goes, if you open your mouth to spread rumors, you will lose your legs if you refute them. Even if you shut up all the people who spread rumors immediately, the impact of the rumors will not be wiped clean. Maybe time can clarify the truth, but many people may not believe it. After all, rumors are more interesting than the truth. too much.
He could get furious now, teach these people a lesson, or even throw them into prison, but apart from venting his emotions, it would not have much effect, and it would also make the rumors spread faster and more widely.
Instead of doing this, it is better to listen carefully, try to find out some clues, and analyze the 'enemy situation'.
At this time, Zhao Mengqi heard another table mentioning him, so he turned his attention there.
"Let me tell you, King Zhong has had his soul changed!"
Huh! Who leaked the news! ? Zhao Mengqi was shocked.
