This street is where Kyoto has fun.
Men of letters go to teahouses, and playboys go to taverns.
The dark alleys are filled with ambiguous lanterns, and the fragrant breeze is an indescribable gentle paradise for girls.
A beautiful woman waving her handkerchief can make a young man lose his soul.
Xie Ling had been lurking for two days and had figured out which teahouses were popular with literati, which taverns had the most playboys, and which theaters were best for gathering information.
At this moment, she was wearing men's clothes and sitting next to a young man with a beaming face. She pursed her lips and poured him tea, listening to their conversation silently and agreeing with them from time to time.
"Something strange happened in Dali Temple not long ago. Guess what it was?"
A man next to him said impatiently: "Brother Zhang, don't keep us in suspense. Just tell us directly."
Zhang Minyan raised his eyebrows, "My second uncle works in the Dali Temple. So..."
Xie Ling listened silently.
In three days, she discovered that Zhang Min was the most well-informed and eloquent person among the dozens of teahouses in the area.
No matter how small the news is happening in the capital, it will be heard by him.
Therefore, he is always surrounded by a large circle of people.
There are frustrated and downtrodden scholars, worthless street ruffians, and villains sent by big families to gather information...
In ancient times, unlike modern times, any major event, no matter where in the world, would immediately become known to the entire Internet and cause a bloody storm.
In ancient times, it was not easy to get information.
Therefore, people like Zhang Minyan who have extensive social connections, many friends, and are well-informed are very popular.
Xie Ling also spent several days in this teahouse and spent a lot of money to bribe the teahouse before she could get a seat next to him so that she could listen to him talk.
She thought to herself that when she returned to Sinan, she must create an intelligence network!
After Zhang Minyan finished speaking, everyone sighed, with different expressions.
It is said that the mistress of a high-ranking official drugged her concubine, causing her to have a difficult delivery and die.
This was originally just a small household matter. Which wealthy family doesn't have some dirty deeds?
But the concubine's parents loved their children very much and wanted justice even if it meant no money, so they reported the matter to the Dali Temple.
He was already dead, what could the Dali Temple do? It was just a compensation of money.
But it happened that another high-ranking official came to the Dali Temple to do some business, and he found that this concubine looked exactly like his wife, so he went to investigate privately. Unexpectedly, she turned out to be his biological daughter who was lost when he encountered bandits when he was promoted more than ten years ago!
This is where things get interesting.
This high-ranking official family and that high-ranking official family came into conflict.
The mistress's family also holds a high official position.
The three families were in a bloody storm.
But Zhang Minyan stopped talking about this.
Although he likes gossip, he knows his limits.
Even when talking about gossip, they use pseudonyms.
It's not that everyone dislikes people like Zhang Minyan who like to gossip.
But in Kyoto, if a leaf falls, it will hit high-ranking officials.
Any tofu seller on the street might have a sister who is a concubine in the palace.
Not to mention that he has a wide range of friends, who dares to touch him?
After hearing this story, Xie Ling thought to herself, it’s really like someone will send you a pillow when you fall asleep.
She was thinking about how to start a conversation.
Wait for everyone around you to finish speaking.
She also pretended to be very sad, "Throughout history, there have been cases of children being lost. Hey, it is said that the eldest daughter of the Nangong family was also found later, right?"
After Xie Ling said this, people around her were somewhat indignant.
She didn't know what was going on, but she saw a tall and strong man with a dark face. He took a sip of tea and said as if he couldn't hold it back: "My sister died under her sedan chair, and she didn't even say an apology."
After the man started the conversation, more and more people started talking.
Even Xie Ling didn't expect Xu Haitang to be so bad.
"My cabbage stand was also overturned by her horse not long ago."
"This person is not easy to get along with. The people of the Nangong family are warm and polite, and the Murong family is also aloof and arrogant. I don't know if I am mistaken, how could there be such a domineering descendant......"
Although the man's tone was indignant, his voice became smaller and smaller.
Obviously he was afraid of the power of the Nangong family.
Zhang Minyan listened to what everyone said, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's impossible to be wrong."
Xie Ling said "Oh".
The eyes of the people around also lit up.
Zhang Minyan cleared his throat.
“Ever since Miss Nangong was found four years ago, many people have come forward to claim to be her biological father, saying that they are the real Miss Nangong, and even the birthmarks on their bodies look exactly like her.
People from the Nangong family went to investigate at first, but every investigation turned out to be fake.
This went on for two years, and the Nangong family directly announced that if anyone came to claim their relationship again, they would be beaten out with sticks, and the Murong family directly said that they would be handed over to the prison department and beaten to death, and only then did they settle down. "
Xie Ling's eyes darkened.
It seems that if you want to expose Xu Haitang's fake identity, it is useless to just say it directly. You must find evidence so that the people of Nangong and Murong's family will believe it.
She could have killed Xu Haitang directly.
But before the truth was revealed, she was still the only bloodline of the two major families in Dongling.
He is also the only offspring of the favored Murong Xiubai and the stunningly beautiful Nangong Zhiwei.
If I kill her without knowing the reason, I will become the enemy of two families.
Xie Ling wasn't that impatient yet.
After getting the information she wanted, Xie Ling said goodbye to the people around her and walked straight out of the teahouse.
As soon as she went out, Xie Ling felt someone was following her.
Her eyes darkened and she silently led the man to the dark alley.
