It was obviously a busy street, but it was very quiet at the moment.
Feng Guihua had a strong resonance with Shen Wan's words. She had thought about death at first, but she was unwilling to do so, so she lived until now.
After listening to Shen Wan's words, many people lowered their heads and began to reflect.
But those who had not criticized or insulted him stood up with their chests raised.
The scholar who was working in Youranju said loudly: "When we first entered the academy to study, the teacher told us that students should be cautious in being alone, cautious in their words, cautious in their words, and cautious in their friends. The cautious words include being cautious about things they don't understand. , people who don’t understand, please don’t make any comments.
Rumors stop among wise men because wise men speak carefully and will not easily believe things they have not heard or seen with their own eyes, let alone make rash comments or spread them with added fuel."
Shen Wan and others glanced at the scholar. He had not said a word just now. He was not a brainless 'just man'.
’ Yun Luochuan also said with a serious face: “The ancients said that a literati uses a pen as a blade, and the words he writes can kill people.
Words can kill, and so can language.
In order to accumulate virtue for yourself and your descendants, you should be cautious about speaking out and keeping your mouth shut about things that you have never heard or seen with your own eyes or that you do not know the truth about.
Didn’t the old man often say that those who talk too much and spread rumors will go to tongue-pulling hell when they die?"
After hearing this, many people felt that their tongues seemed a little uncomfortable.
"Miss Ning."
Yun Luochuan looked at Ning Ruyu, whose face turned pale, and asked, "Is it time for this farce to end?"
Ning Ruyu lowered her head, shook her head and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."
"It's already this time, why are you still pretending?"
Hui'er pointed at Ning Ruyu angrily, "That maid of yours is Lan'er. She went to find her brother to confess."
Ning Ruyu: "..." He Wuniang raised her head and looked at Shen Wan and said: "You, give me six hundred taels of silver. If you give it to me, I will help you clarify and tell everyone what is going on, and I won't care about you. It’s none of my business.”
The six hundred taels of silver that Ma Guihua received greatly stimulated He Wuniang.
Shen Wan looked at her with a sneer and said nothing.
He Wuniang was so upset that she started to lower the price: "Five hundred taels."
"Four hundred taels."
"Three hundred taels."
"Two hundred taels."
"One hundred taels, just one hundred taels."
He Wuniang gritted her teeth and looked like she had made a big concession.
Wu Yi looked at her with disdain and said, "You slander people, and you want the people you slander to give you money. I'm afraid you are just trying to get away with it."
"What if you had confessed earlier!
The money she takes may be yours."
Shen Wan pointed at Ma Osmanthus, shook her head and said to He Wuniang, "What a pity...it's too late now."
No matter how early He Wuniang confessed, Shen Wan would never give her any money. She just wanted to make He Wuniang feel uncomfortable for the money! He Wuniang was indeed extremely uncomfortable. She glared at Ma Guihua angrily. The money originally belonged to her! "But..." This sound made He Wuniang look at Shen Wan again.
"If you reveal the person who instigated your slander, you might be able to save yourself a few slaps when you get to the Yamen later.
Maybe he won’t have to go to jail, after all, this accomplice has always been given a lenient sentence.”
Before Shen Wan finished speaking, He Wuniang looked at Ning Ruyu.
Damn Lan'er, why haven't you come back yet?
Ning Ruyu is going crazy. Now everyone looks at her as if they are looking at the mastermind.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way..." A group of government officials pushed aside the onlookers and walked over.
People are afraid of officials, especially people like He Wuniang who have done bad things. Even if the yamen servant is not an official, she still feels scared.
Captain Liu, who was taking the lead, saw Yun Luochuan, smiled, clasped his hands and saluted: "Mr. Yun."
Yun Luochuan nodded and bowed his hands in return.
