Chen Kan was in a daze holding a copy of "Zuo Zhuan" in his study.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the study door.
"Master Hou, something serious has happened."
Yun Cheng's voice sounded slightly anxious.
Chen Kan put down the book and opened the study door.
Seeing Yuncheng panting slightly, he couldn't help but frown and said, "What's the matter, are you in a panic?"
Yun Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said anxiously: "Now the whole capital is spreading rumors that our family is a very vicious person who oppresses the people. Our family's reputation is bad."
"Is that all?"
Chen Kan shrugged his shoulders indifferently. He thought something had happened.
When Yun Cheng saw Chen Kan's confused look, he immediately became anxious and said, "Master Hou, someone is throwing dirty water on our family."
Chen Kan glanced sideways at Yuncheng: "I know, isn't it the work of Yuan Rong and Li Rang?"
"How do you know?"
Yuncheng was stunned for a moment, then with a suspicious look on his face: "Master Marquis, is this also your method?"
Chen Kan smiled slightly: "Originally I thought there was no need for a backup plan, but I never thought that Yuan Rong and Li Rang had some brains and knew how to treat others in their own way."
"Forget it, I'll just have fun with them."
Somehow, seeing Chen Kan's calm look, Yuncheng suddenly felt at ease.
"Master Hou, what should our family do?"
Chen Kan thought for a moment and asked, "How did they throw dirty water on our family?"
Yuncheng hesitated for a moment and then whispered: "People are saying that you killed your parents and killed the Duke Ying's family. You are also arrogant and domineering, often oppressing the people, and doing business without conscience to harm the people... .”
Chen Kan was stunned: "That's it, no more?"
Yuncheng nodded: "This is enough to discredit our family."
Chen Kan's eyes suddenly became strange. Just now, he thought Yuan Rong and Li Rang were a little smart.
As a result, Chen Kan found that he still looked up to them.
After a while, Chen Kan's expression became lazy.
The opponent is too weak and it is really boring to play.
Chen Kan originally thought this was a vigorous public opinion battle, but he didn't expect it to be just a crushing showdown.
Such a disparity in power made Chen Kan immediately lose interest in playing with them.
Such an opponent is far behind compared to the White Lotus Sect, Ji Gang, Mu Sheng, and Chen Ying. Even Li Jinglong is more qualified to be Chen Kan's opponent than them.
For a moment, Chen Kan had some doubts about life. Could it be that he had a masochistic tendency?
Or was it because the opponents he had encountered before were all so perverted that he had the illusion that Ming Dynasty was all perverted.
So suddenly encountering a normal opponent is a bit unfamiliar?
However, no matter what the situation was, Chen Kan was not prepared to continue wasting time with them.
He was very busy. There was no bank, military academy, or White Lotus Sect that Chen Kan needed to keep an eye on personally.
The retaliation was purely to vent Zhu Yuelan's anger.
Zhu Yuelan's anger was almost gone now.
And the blood relationship between everyone is endless.
After all, it is better to leave a trace of affection to save Zhu Yuelan and Zhu Di from difficulty.
Waving to Yuncheng, Chen Kan ordered: "Please tell me, let our people throw dirty water on our family, no matter how dirty it is, say that I robbed the women of the people, and I don't pay for playing with women. Say it no matter how unpleasant it sounds, and then ask someone smarter to go to Yingtianfu Yamen to play the Dengwen drum in a few days..."
After hearing Chen Kan's arrangement, Yuncheng's eyes widened: "Master Hou, why is this? Our family is well-known for being kind, and you have never done anything that is against morality. Why do you want to defile yourself?" .”
"You don't need to worry about this. Just follow my instructions."
After giving up and shooing Yuncheng away like a fly, Chen Kan returned to the study and continued to be in a daze.
Just kidding and slandering yourself, it is impossible to slander yourself in this life.
It just adds some difficulty to the game.
The lower the Hou Mansion is stepped down, the harder the people will scold those two people when things turn around and slap them in the face.
In terms of manipulating people's hearts and becoming the sixth child, Chen Kan has never been behind others.
In the next few days, the wind direction in the capital suddenly began to change. The Jinghaihou Mansion was originally the object of sympathy from the people, but now it was stepped on to the bottom of the mud within a few days.
As much as the people sympathized with Chen Kan at first, they scolded him harshly now.
The Hou Mansion has never responded to those noisy rumors.
The behavior of the Hou Mansion convinced the people that Chen Kan had a guilty conscience, so they did not dare to come forward to defend themselves.
Many people felt as if they had eaten flies.
"I didn't expect it. I thought Marquis Jinghai was a hero who fought for the country, but I never thought that he would turn out to be a traitor who committed crimes. It is simply a loss of morals."
"I'm heartbroken, I'm heartbroken. The young Marquis' reputation as a hero has turned into a bear."
"Have you heard? It is said that the reason why Marquis Jinghai killed so many people outside the city was because he failed to rob the Buddhist saint, so he went on a killing spree..."
The rumors became more and more outrageous, and Chen Kan's achievements were once again revealed and turned into a tool for him to gain fame.
However, the Hou Mansion has never come forward to clarify any rumors.
Now it is true that whenever a commoner passes by the Hou Mansion, he will spit at the Hou Mansion.
The rumors became more and more outrageous, and Ying Tianfu couldn't sit still anymore. A piece of official document came, and he expressed the hope that the Houfu could cooperate with the investigation.
In the past few days, the two princesses and the two princes consort were having the happiest time.
That was really a heart-warming moment.
Still in the Guangping Marquis Mansion, there are still four familiar faces.
But unlike a few days ago, the four of them looked like they were mourning for their heirs, now the four of them can be said to be very happy.
Several rumors spread, which not only cleared up all the negative news about the two families, but also pushed the Jinghai Hou Mansion to the point of despair.
Yuan Rongduan sat on the main seat and looked at his wife and brother-in-law with a proud face: "It's beyond my expectation. I didn't expect these bastards to be so useful at critical moments."
Li Rang complimented: "If it hadn't been for my brother-in-law to turn things around this time, my Li family would have been nailed to the pillar of shame in history and will be infamy for thousands of years. I'd like to give you a toast to my brother-in-law."
"Hahahahaha..."
Yuan Rong suddenly laughed loudly: "No, no, if the servants in my brother-in-law's family were capable and the people were stupid and didn't know right from wrong, we wouldn't be able to reverse the situation so quickly."
"Haha, our good brother-in-law must be very busy at the moment, right?"
The four of them had cheerful expressions on their faces. When they thought of how panicked they were like a lost dog a few days ago, their resentment towards Chen Kan became even deeper.
"You will not live if you do your own evil. External affairs have nothing to do with us. The eyes of the people are sharp. Drink the Holy Spirit."
"Drinking Saint!"
Just when several people were speculating on how miserable Chen Kan was now, the faces of the heads of various powerful houses became increasingly ugly.
While ordering the door to be closed tightly, he also sent housekeepers to the gate of Jinghaihou Mansion countless times.
It's a pity that every time I go, I get a rejection.
When Zhang Xin's house heard the noisy rumors in the city, Zhang Xin ordered to cut off all contact between the house and the Guangping Houfu and Fuyanghoufu.
At the same time, Taining Marquis Chen Gui, Wu'an Marquis Zheng Heng, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, Qi Guogong Qiu Fu, Cheng Guogong Zhu Neng, Xin'an Bo Zhang Fu, Xinchang Bo Tangyun, Wuyang Marquis Xu Jingchang...
A large number of nobles throughout the Yongle Dynasty made exactly the same decision as Zhang Xin at the same time.
When you are a noble, you can be lustful, cruel, and greedy for money, but you must not be stupid.
No one likes to play with stupid pig teammates.
All the nobles sighed in their hearts at the same time: "The lineage of Guangping Marquis and Fuyang Marquis is over."
at this time--
Chen Kanzheng looked at the documents sent by Yingtian Mansion with great interest.
The document asked Marquis Jinghai to visit the government office in person to clarify the recent rumors in the capital against Marquis Jinghai's mansion.
The documents sent by Yingtianfu Yamen to Guangping Marquis Mansion and Fuyang Marquis Mansion a few days ago were similar.
Of course, for this kind of thing, usually no noble person will actually be present. You only need to send a steward to deal with it.
Of course Jinghaihou Mansion is no exception.
On Yuncheng's recommendation, Chen Kan sent a steward named Sun Hai there.
It's just that Sun Hai went to the government office not to clarify the rumors and cooperate with the investigation, but to beat the drum.
If someone asked Chen Kan now what should you do when you are bullied, Chen Kan would definitely tell him: "Report to the official, you must report to the official!"
Yes, Chen Kan's way of solving rumors is so simple and crude.
Any frictions and conflicts that arise between nobles and nobles are usually resolved privately, bypassing the government.
And the government will mostly choose to turn a blind eye when the nobles do not harm ordinary people.
Only this time, they met Chen Kan, who never liked to follow rules.
Therefore, outside Yingtianfu Yamen, the Dengwen Drum, which had been installed since the Hongwu period, resounded throughout the capital.
"What happened?"
"Is someone beating the Denwen drum?"
"What, someone is beating the drum?"
"Let's go, let's go and have a look. This is something rare that you don't see once in decades."
The Dengwen drum in Yingtian Mansion was beaten, not only the people in the entire capital were shocked, but even Zhu Di, who was reviewing the memorial in the main hall, couldn't help but be stunned after learning the news.
"Chen Kan, this kid, is playing so big, is he going to completely destroy my two sons-in-law?"
Zhu Di murmured to himself, then frowned slightly.
Chen Kan did not step out of the circle he drew, and completed his revenge against his two brothers-in-law without affecting the court.
But Zhu Di was worried that if Chen Kan continued to play like this, it would be strange if Yuan Rong and Li Rang were not killed by him.
After all, Yuan Rong and Li Rang are also his sons-in-law. The son-in-law's character is too bad, and the emperor's face is not good-looking.
But he had already made a move to deflect the situation once. If he interfered again, I'm afraid the little bastard Chen Kan would be dissatisfied.
Could it be that the eldest two are daughters, but the younger daughter is not a daughter?
Or does the younger daughter deserve to be bullied by the elder daughter?
Headache.
Zhu Di rubbed his eyebrows, feeling suddenly dissatisfied with his two eldest daughters.
Why do you want to provoke Chen Kan?
I provoked it but couldn't bear the consequences.
Really, extremely stupid!
