After staying in the Imperial Master's Mansion for a few days, Lin Ze felt that the Lin Mansion was more comfortable, so he "packed" the middle-grade Dibaotongtong from Xu Fu's secret library and took it back. After all, that was his territory.
What's more important is that the ordinary martial arts resources of the Imperial Master's Office have been consumed by Lin Ze, leaving only these treasures. For Lin Ze, taking them in combination can improve his martial arts cultivation faster and more effectively.
Lin Ze also made an agreement with Hu Hai and brought carts of herbs and polished rice to store in the warehouse. He even brought in two newly slaughtered monster beasts every day to provide fresh monster meat.
What Lin Ze has to do is to work hard to fill his Dantian with zhenqi and advance as soon as possible.
At this time, Huang Banban hurried over, found Hu Hai and said: "Master, something bad has happened. I don't know who is spreading rumors in Chang'an City, slandering the master, saying that the master is a green-faced, fanged man who bullies men and women, and eats people's hearts."
Demon King."
After hearing this, Hu Hai was furious: "Fart, how can I be so ugly? Slander is definitely slander. If I find out who it is, I must make him look good."
Huang Banban reminded from the side: "Master, please think of a way quickly. How can we wash away the slander of others?"
"Why don't you think about it? Just arrest all those who slandered me, find out who is behind the scenes, and cut them to death with a thousand knives?"
Huang Banban coughed and said with a wry smile: "Have you forgotten, we almost got into a fight with Tingwei's Mansion a few days ago. They will definitely not help us arrest people. As far as I know, there are almost 100,000 people."
Everyone is talking about this, but with just a few of us, we can’t arrest them all, let alone we don’t have the right to arrest them.”
Hu Hai rolled his eyes and said, "Let's go find Lin Ze. He must have a solution."
In the small courtyard, in front of Lin Ze was a large pot with a diameter of three feet. The animal meat inside had been cooked to a pulp and gave off a strong aroma.
Hu Hai barged in, and the two looked at each other. Lin Ze couldn't help but said: "Young master is here, just in time, let's have something together."
Hu Hai's face darkened. Lin Ze's words were not polite. He really only asked him to eat a little. I ate with him several times and almost watched him finish most of the food, and finally left the rest for himself.
So a little.
Hu Hai coughed lightly: "Lin Ze, I am not looking for you to eat, but I am looking for you if I have something to do."
Lin Ze nodded: "Let's talk while we eat." After saying that, he used his zhenqi to put out the fire, and regardless of how hot it was, he picked up a large piece of meat and ate it.
Hu Hai...
"The thing is like this, Huang Banban, please tell me." Hu Hai suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to know very clearly, so it was better to let someone who knew more clearly. He couldn't help but take a piece of meat from the pot, it was so delicious.
Huang Banban...
Huang Banban then told everything he knew.
Hu Haicai couldn't help but ask: "Lin Ze, someone actually dares to spread rumors and slander me. What do you think should be done?"
Lin Ze picked up the pot, drank all the remaining soup, wiped his mouth and said, "That's it, just ignore him."
"Ah" Hu Hai couldn't believe his ears: "You mean, do nothing and let him slander you?"
Lin Ze nodded and confirmed: "Well, this kind of matter should be handled by the authorities. As a party involved, the young master should not get involved."
To be honest, Lin Ze had seen this kind of thing too many times in his previous life, especially in the era when the Internet was popular, keyboard warriors would follow the trend without thinking and drive people to suicide.
The more seriously you take this kind of thing and argue with others, the easier it will be to get carried away, and it will become more and more intense, and the final result will only be worse.
Relatively speaking, it is not the most effective method, but the most correct method is to call the police and let a third party handle it.
So Lin Ze's suggestion was to ignore it and just have someone report the case to Chang'an Mansion, Tingwei Mansion and Zongren Mansion.
The reason why I want to go to the Zongren Mansion is because this matter has seriously tarnished the image of the royal family, and the Zongren Mansion has to come forward.
Hu Hai hesitated and said: "The Tingwei Mansion almost had a fight with us, will it help us?"
Lin Ze smiled and said: "Master, just arrange for people to go. Unless the Tingwei Mansion is full of fools, they will ignore it."
Hu Hai nodded and arranged for someone to do what Lin Ze said.
Hu Hai couldn't help but ask: "Lin Ze, who do you think would harm me like this?"
Lin Ze thought for a while and said: "This can be screened. For example, who has the young master offended recently, which may have caused revenge from others. Or if the young master's reputation has been damaged, who can benefit from it."
Hu Hai thought for a while and replied: "Recently? I just had a feud with the Li family, which has not been resolved yet."
Lin Ze shook his head: "It's impossible for the Li family to do such a stupid thing unless Li Si and his son were kicked in the head by a donkey."
Hu Hai became even more confused: "Who else is there? Is it someone else who is trying to seize the Lu family's property and has a grudge?"
Lin Ze asked Huang Banban directly: "Has it been smooth to close the shop recently?"
Huang Banban replied truthfully: "It went very smoothly. As soon as the shopkeepers saw me, they obediently handed over all the accounts of the store. There was no obstacle at all."
Lin Ze smiled and said: "This is normal. After all, the Prime Minister's clan members were beheaded in the street, and other people have to weigh their own weight. So the other people you speculated about, Master, are not true. They don't have the courage.
I don’t have that strength either.”
"Who could that be?"
Lin Ze said calmly: "There is only one person who has the motive and strength to do this, and that is Fusu. Apart from him, no one will deliberately discredit you."
Hu Hai gritted his teeth: "It's him again. He's been thinking about harming me all day long. Huh, I'm going to find a way to discredit him. Huang Banban, you go and arrange someone."
Lin Ze immediately stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, this is inappropriate."
Hu Hai frowned: "How do you say this?"
Lin Ze sighed and said: "Fusu's reputation is too good. Let's not talk about how difficult it is to discredit him without anyone noticing. Even if we tell everyone how bad Fusu is, we still have to be believed.
That’s right.”
Hu Hai was dissatisfied and said angrily: "Then let him bully me and I won't be able to fight back? Lin Ze, you must find a way to say this for me."
Lin Ze tried hard to recall some of the routines in his previous life, and suddenly he had an idea and said: "Yes, we can do the opposite. Why not put food outside the city."
Hu Hai said in surprise: "Lin Ze, you mean to clear my name by releasing food?"
Lin Ze shook his head: "No, even if you release grain, it will be difficult to wash away the stigma of the young master. This time we will release grain in the name of Fusu."
Hu Hai was stunned and said angrily: "Lin Ze, you still want to do good things for him? Are you crazy?"
Lin Ze said his thoughts with a smile, and Hu Hai's eyes lit up: "Okay, this is a good plan. But what if someone finds out that we are the ones who put the grain away?"
Lin Ze smiled and said: "Master, do you believe that a demon king who bullies men, dominates women, and eats people's hearts will release food?"
Hu Hai suddenly realized it and shook his head: "I don't believe it."
…
Outside Chang'an City, someone suddenly set up several wooden sheds and erected several large flags with eight characters written on them: "Young Master is benevolent and righteous, and distributes food to help the people."
Then a cartload of good Pumi was brought over and piled there.
Immediately, someone pointed at the big flag and asked, "Brother, what does this mean?"
One of them replied: "My son, Fusu, heard that the people of Li lived a hard life and often did not have enough to eat, so he sent us to set up a tent here to stock grain for a year to help the poor in the world."
"Grain? One year?" The good guy reacted and asked happily: "Then can I get it too?"
The man replied: "As long as you are a citizen of my country, Da Qin, and your life is really hard, you can naturally receive it."
The busybody continued: "Then how should I get it?"
The man pointed to the table and said: "Go there and register to show that you are indeed poor and need food. You must not lie. You will be caught if you lie."
The good guy immediately registered and received a bag of food.
Then the news spread, and countless people came here to receive bags of genuine rice.
For three days in a row, the news that Mr. Fusu had been producing rice for a year immediately spread throughout Chang'an City, and everyone praised it and received rave reviews.
However, on the fourth day, when someone went to pick it up again, they found that the place was already empty.
Those who didn't receive the rice immediately stopped working, but what about the one who had agreed to receive rice for a year? He ran all the hard work, but he didn't get anything, and his anger was simmering in his heart.
For a time, Mr. Fusu's reputation for being "hypocritical" and "seeking profit at the expense of justice" spread throughout Chang'an City at an even faster speed.
When Fusu heard this, he threw the table on the spot. When did I promise to provide food for a year?
