Seeing that several people looked confused and confused one after another, and some people opened and closed their mouths, their faces turned red, but they still couldn't figure out the key point, the man couldn't help but shook his head.
The quality of this session is obviously not good. How dare you come out and listen to gossip even if you haven’t laid a good foundation?
Fortunately, there is still someone who stands out from the crowd. Someone responded loudly: "I remember! Isn't it Mr. Zhan's sister? That case was a sensation at the time!"
The one with a red face pointed his finger and suddenly said: "Yes, I remember it too! What happened to her? Wasn't she already exiled?"
"It is true that he was exiled." The man with the child lowered his voice and said to everyone: "But on the way to exile, people almost went crazy..."
"Crazy?"
"Why are you so crazy?"
"How else could he be crazy? I guess he must be unable to bear the pain of exile..."
"Isn't that true? When the Yamen heard the case last year, I personally watched it. When I saw this girl Zhan identifying the girl from the Xia family, she seemed to be a responsible person who could handle the situation. Why?
Are you crazy if you say you are crazy?"
Seeing that the discussion was almost done, the man just said: "It's hard to say why he's crazy, and he's not completely crazy, but... while he's so half-crazy and half-sober, he says a lot of shocking things that I don't know whether they're true or not.
Come."
This statement was undoubtedly quite intriguing, so everyone started asking questions.
The man is obviously well versed in the rhythm of gossiping, and he knows it very accurately, just like a seasoned teacher: "...According to this Miss Zhan, her brother, Mr. Zhan, had already made a contribution to the rescue long before
So I secretly visited her in prison!"
At first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong with this.
But excellent students can always quickly discover the key point: "According to this, the so-called amnesia after falling into the water is actually a lie?!"
Everyone was suddenly awakened by this sentence.
yes!
Didn't you say earlier that you were injured while rescuing the driver, and that your memory was restored by some strange combination of circumstances?
If it is true, then this is deceiving you!
"Not only that, Zhan Yunjiao also said that the reason why she so happily identified the Xia girl was because of her brother's persuasion. He promised to help her escape afterwards..." The man's voice became even louder.
Lower.
The atmosphere is getting more and more heated.
"There is such a thing?!"
"This is obviously using my sister to deal with the Xia family to take personal revenge..."
"It's understandable if it's just revenge. After all, Miss Xia's crime is true, but isn't this an obvious attempt to deceive my sister? My sister has fallen into such a predicament, and for him to make such a promise that violates the law is too calculating.
, deep thoughts..."
Fortunately, he still has a good reputation. He is said to be a scholar who sets an example and behaves like a gentleman!
Someone was making a move to "poof" in the direction of the body covered with white cloth. A rough man took the lead - he hadn't even had time to rinse his mouth in the early morning, and his mouth smelled bad, so he poohed first!
"There is something even more incredible..." The man's tone seemed to convey that "these mentioned above are just appetizers, the real food is yet to come."
The crowd was getting bigger and tighter, tightly surrounding the man and his child.
The officer looked over and couldn't help but frowned. He was planning to fold Arhat on the spot. What was this?
Under the pricked ears, the man whispered: "According to the girl from the Zhan family, her mother has been seen by the doctor many times before. She probably has a few months left to live... It is said that people feel refreshed during happy events.
, this son finally came back alive, why did he suddenly die early?"
When the man said this, his face became a little solemn: "I don't know if this girl has any basis for accounting, or she is really crazy. She cried and cursed on the way to exile, saying that her brother must have killed her mother, so as not to mislead him in the future.
The official... said that her brother wanted to take advantage of the fact that his father was beheaded to death because he had committed a crime, and there were one or two reasons why he did not have to observe the full period of filial piety, so he had to confuse it early!"
This time the crowd completely exploded.
"This is matricide!"
The man hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Don't say this nonsense. It was all said by the girl from the Zhan family. We have no evidence. Just listen to it, but don't spread it out!"
"This matter is so suspicious, why don't you ask people to guess?"
"That's it...if even the amnesia is fake, and his mother never showed up when she was seriously ill, it shows that he has no filial piety at all! It's not surprising that such a person can do such vicious things!"
There are many people who have a strong sense of empathy and have become obsessed with it.
Just think about it, this girl from the Zhan family was first tricked by her brother, and then her own mother died. However, this brother was also praised by the imperial edict and became an official - who else would not be crazy?
And the girl from the Zhan family is so crazy, it becomes more and more obvious that these things are true!
Isn’t this consistent and coherent?
Someone waved their hands and gave a simple and crude summary.
"There were many literati who wrote poems for him before..."
I'm afraid my face will be swollen now, and I'll have to recall the poems overnight and burn them, right?
While everyone was discussing, some people couldn't help but curse.
"The dead are great..."
"Yes, the body is still here. Are you not afraid of nightmares at night?"
Everyone thinks about it too.
So someone suggested that if you want to scold me, you might as well go to the teahouse in front and drink tea to soothe your throat.
After summing up, they all dispersed in twos and threes.
And as the crowd dispersed, naturally there was also the news from their mouths.
Soon, the matter spread throughout the city.
Zhan Yunzhu's body was carried back to the Yamen for inspection, but it had been burned to the point where almost nothing was left. In the end, it could only be concluded that he died by self-immolation to "comply with the people's sentiments".
Different from his previous "suicide by drowning in the river", after his death this time, there were no words of praise or regret. Instead, there were only some unbearable discussions and speculations.
When the news reached the Minister of War's mansion, Ji Wanyou was stunned for a moment.
Zhan Yunzhu... is dead?
Just die like that?
After a brief moment of confusion, the girl sneered and said slowly: "It's really retribution."
But she didn't think the other party would self-immolate.
How could such a person be willing to commit suicide before it is too late to save his life?
After thinking about it, there is only one answer - it must be some hero who did good deeds but left no name.
Thinking of this, Ji Wanyou couldn't help but flash a girl's figure in his mind.
Could it be Miss Xu?
She carefully recalled the attitude and eyes of the Xu family girls when they mentioned Zhan Yunzhu several times, and couldn't help but feel that it was very possible.
But she just had to keep this guess deep in her heart and never mention it to anyone, nor did she need to ask many girls about it.
"Why don't you go on? How are you scolding him outside? Go on." Ji Wanyou picked up a cup of tea and urged the maid.
The maid is in shock: Why is her girl... so calm?
And besides being calm, there seems to be a sense of joy?
And what about that sentence just now... "It's really retribution"?
