Chapter 486 Rumors

Jiangning Hou Mansion in the capital

The grand gate, the four motionless soldiers standing at the door and the plaque hanging high with the four big characters written on the Jiangning Marquis Mansion, make people look awe-inspiring at first glance. Although the Jiangning Marquis Mansion has only been rising in the capital for more than a year, both high-ranking officials and ordinary people in the capital know that this family cannot be provoked. This is the past two days when many people look at the Jiangning Marquis Mansion with a strange look.

Chinese people like to watch the fun and gossip, especially the people in the capital. You can tell by looking at the densely packed teahouses in the capital.

It is still Daxiangguo Temple, the teahouse opposite Daxiangguo Temple, the familiar tea lovers, the boss Jin who always sits in a daze at the counter and his fat woman.

Erdan, Qi Dajiang, was boasting to the tea lovers around him, "I tell you, this Jiangning Marquis Mansion has been added these days. Do you know who it is?"

A middle-aged man in his thirties spit out the melon seeds in his mouth and smiled: "It's probably the ladies from the Marquis' Mansion who gave birth again, right? Hahaha..."

After saying that, the middle-aged man laughed, but he felt something was wrong. The people around him were looking at him with a strange look.

The middle-aged man felt strange at first, but then he thought about it and was stunned for a moment, and then his face gradually became ugly. Then he remembered that the owner of the Jiangning Marquis Mansion had been out of the capital for more than a year. How could several wives in the mansion have given birth? Wouldn't he say that the wives in the mansion steal people? When he thought about his fate if the words were spread today, the middle-aged man's face turned pale instantly.

The oldest Mr. Zhou in the teahouse glared at the middle-aged man and whispered: "I said to the fifth brother of the Lin family, it doesn't matter if you drink too much horse pee, but you must also take care of your mouth and don't cause trouble for yourself and the Lin family. Can the Jiangning Hou Mansion be a commoner like us make fun of?"

The middle-aged man quickly nodded repeatedly, bowed to everyone, and said in a pleading tone: "Yes, yes... Mr. Zhou, you are right. I drank too much horse pee today and didn't have a door in my mouth. Please be more grateful, old and young men."

Everyone also knew that if this sentence was heard today and the Jiangning Marquis Mansion knew, Lin Laowu would be in trouble, so they all nodded in understanding and said that they would not say it randomly. Only Qi Dajiang's expression was a little complicated. After wailing twice, he coughed lightly: "Well... Uncle Lin Wu said it was really good just now. The Jiangning Marquis Mansion has indeed added two people recently, and I heard that they are all the daughters of a wife."

For a moment, the teahouse that was originally noisy suddenly became silent. Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to say anything. After a while, Uncle Zhou stood up and reached out and gave Qi Dajiang a thunderous snatch, cursing, "Boy, do you know what you are talking about? You are young, don't mention yourself and your parents causing trouble. Do you understand?"

Qi Dajiang covered his head and said aggrievedly: "No... what I said is true?"

"You dare to talk nonsense!" Uncle Zhou thrust another crisp sound, "You kid can't save you no matter how nonsense you are!"

"I have nothing to say, it's all over the place." Qi Dajiang's temper, who was shocked, also came, and he stubbornly said with his neck: "When the Marquis last expedition to Liaodong, did he force Huang Taiji to set up a city alliance? Not only did he knock on the Tartars, but he also asked Huang Taiji to send out his two daughters. It is said that the mother of the two daughters was originally a great concubine of Huang Taiji, and now he has become the Marquis' concubine."

"boom……"

As soon as this sentence came out, it was like throwing a big firecracker in a teahouse, which made everyone dizzy. The news was so explosive.

"Wait... When I sort out your words, why do I feel a little confused!" Uncle Zhou felt a little dizzy in front of him. The news was too explosive.

He looked at Qi Dajiang for a long time before Qiqi asked Aiai, "Erdan...you...you mean that the Marquis robbed Huang Taiji's great concubine?"

"Yes, everyone outside says that now!" Qi Dajiang said in a sure tone.

"What is the great concubine?" someone asked in confusion.

"This is the great concubine..." Qi Dajiang thought for a while and said, "I heard that this great concubine is like a big wife. Didn't Huang Taiji have already become emperor? If it is on Huang Taiji, it will be the queen."

"Queen!"

This sentence aroused a burst of surprise from everyone. Uncle Zhou couldn't help but widen his eyes, and even his body trembled, "Wouldn't it mean that the Marquis of Jiangning stole the queen of the Tartars and sat down with his concubine?"

"Yeah!" Qi Dajiang nodded heavily, and then added: "Jiangning Hou not only snatched Huang Taiji's queen, but also one of his concubines and the concubines who had not passed the door were snatched by him. Last time, when Jiangning Hou was expeditioning to Liaodong, he also snatched back the two daughters of the queen."

At this time, everyone in the teahouse was no longer amazed, but were all stunned. They no longer knew what to say. Since ancient times, the generals who went to war stole the empress and concubines of the enemy emperors and concubines to be their own women, but that was something that only barbarians would do. I never thought that such a thing would happen in the Ming Dynasty.

The first thought that many people thought was that this didn't seem to be very good, would it hurt the face of the Celestial Empire? But then the second thought that came to my mind was that it seemed like this was good. It was so fucking to be able to snatch the emperor's wife from the imperial emperor.

In short, everyone in the teahouse was shocked by the news, so no one noticed that Boss Jin, who was originally just sitting behind the counter, had no longer had the dullness and dullness of the past on his face, and was replaced by endless shame and murderous intent.

As a spy lurking in the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years, Boss Jin's loyalty to the Qing Dynasty was beyond doubt. To him, Huang Taiji was his master's god. The master's wife was snatched away, so as a slave, he naturally empathized with it. However, as a spy, although he still had a few people under his command, he was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the powerful Jiangning Marquis' Mansion. Even if he was unwilling to give up, he could only endure it. However, the news has been covered up well for more than a year, and not many people in the capital knew about this matter. But now this matter has been revealed in heaven and has been wordlessly passed on by countless people in the teahouse. This is undoubtedly a slap in the face of the Qing Dynasty. How can he bear it as a Manchu?

Just when Boss Jin clenched his teeth and could no longer hold back and stood up, his shoulder was suddenly pressed by a big hand. When he looked back, he realized that the one who pressed him on the seat was his wife. The boss's wife's wide and thick palm pressed heavily on his shoulders, lowered her voice and said in his ear: "Master, keep calm, don't ruin our big things for this little thing, otherwise our efforts over the years will be in vain."

Boss Jin took a deep breath, tried to suppress the anger in his heart, and said slowly: "This news must have been spread on purpose by someone, otherwise it would not have been known to the entire capital in such a short time."

Boss Jin said that, it was true that someone had deliberately spread the news. Almost all the capital knew about this news overnight, and almost the entire capital was talking about this news for a while.

"Investigate... and thoroughly investigate...who is spreading this news in the capital!"

In the imperial study room, Zhu Youxiao was furious when he learned the news. He immediately called Wei Zhongxian and the commander of the Jinyiwei Tian Ergeng, scolded them, pointed to a large fold of folds in front of the Long Case and shouted.

"Look... Look... all these memorials are impeached by the Marquis of Jiangning. What arrogance, domineering woman who robs the enemy country, has a disobedient heart towards the Ming Dynasty, and has everything to say. In the eyes of these people, Jiangning Hou has become a vicious villain. It is not enough to cut into pieces to vent public anger. What are they trying to do?"

Zhu Youxiao's roaring voice echoed in the imperial study room, and the eunuchs outside the door looked at their noses and looked at their hearts, pretending not to hear it. However, Wei Zhongxian and Tian Ergeng kept not stopping, and waited until Zhu Youxiao's anger calmed down a little, and Tian Ergeng said boldly: "Report to Your Majesty, I think this matter must be someone deliberately spreading it, otherwise it would be known to everyone in the city overnight."

"Of course I know!" Zhu Youxiao interrupted Tian Ergeng without hesitation, "One of you is the commander of the Jinyiwei and the other is the errand of the admiral of the East Factory. You are my ears and eyes. I will give you three days. You must find out the truth within three days. I want to see who is so bold and so bold, and throws dirty water on my important officials of the Ming Dynasty without restraint. Or do they think I can't cure them."

Listening to the deep anger revealed in Zhu Youxiao's words, Wei Zhongxian and Tian Ergeng looked at each other and immediately realized that Zhu Youxiao had really had a murderous intent this time.

"Ye... I am obeying the order!"

Wei Zhongxian and Tian Ergeng were in charge of the East Factory, and the other was the commander of the Jinyiwei. The power in their hands was amazing. Two days later, they handed over the results of the joint investigation to Zhu Youxiao.

"It turned out to be him!"

Seeing the two of them handed over the investigation results, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but look surprised.

"Report to Your Majesty, this matter was done by the former Minister of Revenue Li Qiyuan, who was sent to others behind his back." Tian Ergeng replied respectfully.

"Is Li Qiyuan the only one?"
