You Ma stood up suddenly and overturned the small bench under her body.
She looked around for a place where she could escape, but when the nearby people heard the words "Wenyu County Lord", they swarmed up like fry that smelled the bait.
The narrow alley was surrounded by water.
Ji Shu fanned himself and walked up to You Ma with a tense expression on his face, "Yesterday you and I met in the Queen's Palace, do you still remember?"
"Remember, remember, the civilian woman has met the county lord."
Xitao: "Why are you stumbling! Didn't you speak very smoothly just now? They kept saying that my lady and the champion were having an affair, but I heard it clearly!"
You Ma's face turned green and white. She originally wanted to go behind Ji Shu's back and just said it.
She was a dignified daughter of a wealthy family, so she would never take matters into her own hands, and You Ma didn't believe that she could ruin Ji Shu's reputation with just a few words.
But this County Master Wenyu is too stingy, and she can't even play tricks!
"If the county owner is innocent, why bother caring about what others say."
You Ma said bravely, Ji Shu sneered:
"Why care about it? It's because of people like you spreading rumors that the general and I can't argue! I'm obviously innocent, but I have to be despised and humiliated!"
There was a hint of crying in her voice, her eyes were slightly red, but her eyes were firm.
"Xitao, go find the master of the Military and Horse Department now."
Xitao turned her head and squeezed out of the crowd, and the people nearby talked a lot.
"What? Lord Wenyu is still innocent?"
"Hasn't she been married to the second young master of Wu Dingbo's mansion for seven years? When talking about innocence... she is talking about innocence with the champion Hou."
"To be honest, she has been married once. She is the only one who can tell if she is innocent."
There were quite a lot of people present, and there were many people like You Ma who were fishing in troubled waters.
Not long after, Xitao arrived with the officials from the Military and Horse Department. The officials held their fists in greeting and said, "County Lord Wenyu!"
"You don't have to be polite, sir. Xitao has already told you everything."
"Yes, the villain already knows. Come on, take her to Shuntian Mansion."
The official waved his hand back, and the soldiers from the Bingma Division came forward and lifted You Ma up. You Ma kicked her legs and shouted, her face turned pale.
"I just said a few words! Why should you arrest me and take me to Shuntian Mansion! You are the head of the county, you can't take human life lightly!"
"The Emperor has ordered us to clarify the rumors between me and the Champion, but you continue to confuse the public. Are you still saying that I care about human life?"
Ji Shu said calmly: "Don't worry, it won't endanger your life. Mr. Li Mu, tell her, how should she be sentenced for this crime?"
"The same responsibility as disrupting military affairs and spreading rumors out of order will be punished by a fine of two taels of silver, ten sticks and twenty slaps on the mouth. What does the county master think?"
"Very good."
The people were shocked when they heard this, and everyone kept their mouths shut.
Those who had just been mixed up in the crowd and said that Ji Shu was not innocent lowered their heads as much as they could.
I am afraid that I will be found out and dealt with!
Youma screamed, she was scared after all.
"County Lord! County Lord, please spare the civilian woman! It's the civilian woman who is stupid and the civilian woman is mean-mouthed! The civilian woman will never dare to spread rumors about you and the general again!"
Xitao said angrily: "Speak for yourself! Yesterday at the Queen's Palace, the county lord and the general were innocent, weren't they?!"
"Yes, yes! He is innocent! The county master is innocent! He has never even slept with Mr. Qi from Wu Dingbo Mansion! The three mothers in the palace have confirmed it! It's a civilian woman who talks meanly, and civilian women don't dare to do anything anymore. I don’t dare anymore!”
You Ma stretched out her hands and gave herself two slaps, not daring to leave any room, and her cheeks quickly became swollen.
Ji Shu: "My lord, please take her away."
The official nodded briefly, and before Youma could react, he asked his men to cover her mouth and drag her out of the alley.
The alley became quiet, and the people nearby looked at Ji Shu with a hint of fear in their eyes.
Ji Shu herself was calm. Except for her red eyes, she didn't seem to lose her composure at all because of the rumors about herself. She walked through the crowd on bricks and got into the carriage.
The carriage took her around the streets and alleys and came to the busiest street.
Ji Shu walked through the streets, stopping at every stall.
There are talks about her in the streets and alleys. There are far more people who say that she is a playboy than people who believe in her.
When she came to the teahouse, the storyteller had already opened his third show today, making a lot of money, and the stories he made up were even more exaggerated than the previous two.
The teahouse was crowded with people, and Ji Shu sat at the front, thinking about all the sad things in his life, and his eyes quickly filled with tears.
Bang——
The storyteller was talking vigorously when he suddenly heard a muffled sound, and everyone looked at the sound.
Ji Shu overturned the chair, covered the lower half of his face with a fan, and ran out of the building.
Her beautiful eyes were full of tears, and the tears that fell left traces of tears on her face. I really felt pity for her, she was so beautiful in the world.
While everyone was wondering why this beauty was crying, Xitao picked up the melon seeds snack on the fruit plate and threw it at the storyteller.
"My county head and the champion Hou are innocent! It's all because of you people! My county head has been married for seven years and been widowed for seven years! She is still a young girl! But she has been insulted by divorce, and she still needs to be humiliated like this! I will fight with you Got it!"
Snapped--
Xitao went crazy in the teahouse and smashed all the tables, chairs and snacks.
The tea guests were frightened and fled in all directions, while the storyteller hid under the table and did not dare to come out.
Only then did Xitao withdraw her troops and leave quickly.
It wasn't until she disappeared that the common people dared to show their heads, and the tea guests looked at each other in shock.
"That was just now - County Master Wenyu?!"
"I looked at that girl for a long time, thinking she was a girl who had not left the court and was out having fun, but she turned out to be——"
There were several disturbances in the capital in one day. First, You Ma was dragged to Shuntian Mansion for spreading rumors about Ji Shu.
After the execution, she was thrown on the street. Many people saw her miserable condition.
In addition, regarding the teahouse, it was closed down by a group of government officials within half an hour.
Many people saw Ji Shu with their own eyes. The palace guard sand on her neck was so bright and beautiful. While the people were shocked, they also felt countless pity and sympathy for her.
"The County Lord is so pitiful! He has been a widow for seven years?!"
"How can Wu Ding's house be worthy of her! I'm afraid there is only one good person in this house, the Champion!"
"The champion just wanted to thank the county master, but he was turned upside down like this!"
“These people who spread rumors are so abominable!!”
The wind in the capital changed direction, and for a while everyone sympathized with Ji Shu and Qi Ye.
In the third prince's residence, Xie Lian overturned everything on the desk, pointed at the attendant and cursed:
"Trash! You can't even do such a small thing! Do you still want to live?!"
The attendant was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, the timing is really bad! Now everyone knows that County Princess Wenyu is still perfect, and no one believes in her affair with the Champion!"
"fool!"
Xie Lian scolded angrily, "If people in Beijing don't believe it, why don't you spread the word outside!"
Xie Lian's face was twisted, and the corners of his mouth twitched into a sinister smile.
What did it matter if the rumors in the capital were put to rest? There were so many state capitals near the capital, and he didn't believe that Ji Shu could clarify them everywhere! !
"Hurry up and do it!"
The servants were scrambling to find someone to handle this matter, but the person they were looking for had just left the Third Prince's Mansion and then headed to the Champion's Mansion.
Qi Ye had already expected it, "If he asks you to pass it, you pass it."
"……ah?"
The man was stunned, Qi Ye glanced at him and wrote lightly:
“Some things become another thing if they are spoken too much.”
It dawned on him.
"My subordinate understands."
A few days later, Xie Lian, who had been paying attention to the wind direction in the nearby state capital, was so angry that he overturned the table when he saw the letter sent back from the dispatchers.
It was clearly Qi Ye and Ji Shu who gave and received each other privately——
How come in the end the champion and the head of Wenyu County got married? !
What idiot said this! !
