Chapter 385: Drink the Water and Remember the Well Digger
But her silence was seen as consent by Xu Chengzhan, and the boy immediately came up with many ideas.
If her intelligence has penetrated this far...
Xu Chengzhan was suddenly filled with despair.
Those secret things he did...the prince actually knew everything?
Are you just pretending to be ignorant in order to maintain a calm appearance?
Wuwuwuwu, when he was a child, his mother coaxed him to wear women's clothes and compete with his friends to see who could pee farther.
If His Highness knew all these embarrassing things, he really couldn't face anyone!!!
Fortunately, although Xu Chengzhan wanted to leave this beautiful world, his work efficiency did not decrease at all.
Soon, rumors were flying everywhere in the streets and alleys, and it was as if a bag of spiced spices had been thrown into the ordinary lives of the people.
The melons from the west family have not been eaten yet, and the melons from the east family have arrived.
The storytelling teahouse was bustling with people every day, and there were several times when the streets were packed with people. Even the prices of the private rooms inside increased several times.
Shadow puppetry has changed from telling stories about beautiful women and talented men to telling gossip.
I'm tired of hearing those love stories where rich ladies lust after poor scholars like crazy.
Nothing is as interesting as the secrets in the mansions of the rich and powerful.
The protagonist of the story, who was the best-informed, was furious after hearing the rumor. He put pressure on the governor of Anzhou to close down teahouses and other places and not allow the rumor to spread.
The always smooth governor of Anzhou immediately rejected her request and pointed upwards, reminding her: "This matter has a cause and an effect."
"He wants to vent his anger and seek revenge. How can we, the little minions, dare to stop him?"
She even glanced at the woman who was putting pressure on her with a strange look, and said sarcastically, "As the saying goes, when you drink water, you should remember the person who dug the well."
"My wife is able to enjoy the present glory in the family and have room to display her abilities. When did it start and who made it possible for her to do so?"
"Do you remember these?"
The woman who came to question was stunned.
No one dared to stop it, and the situation escalated.
In the past, when common people talked about "Who's family?", they were all families of nobles, wealthy and prestigious families, and of noble blood.
When we talk about them now, we only talk about the dirty and ugly things that happened inside that cannot be told to outsiders.
The image of the nobility in people's minds plummeted.
What frightened them even more was that all their private affairs behind closed doors were in the hands of the prince.
It would be fine if she only warned one or two families, but all the families who offended her were exposed to the public without exception.
Everyone marveled at the ability of the man in the East Palace to control the trends in the government and the opposition, and those who hesitated and did not participate in this setup secretly rejoiced.
A marquis named You was one of those who was publicly executed.
In the past, when outsiders talked about their family, they all said that they had a noble family tradition and attached great importance to rules. They taught the men and women to be self-disciplined and respect the rules, and they were very popular in the marriage market.
As a result, they favored concubines over wives, and brothers and sisters fought with each other at home, just like raising pigs.
It’s just that the whole family’s best actor and actress pretends to be good outside.
Now, whenever Lord You goes out, he becomes the object of contempt and ridicule. As time goes by, he even stops going out and just stays at home.
Bei Jingchu killed all the gods and Buddhas along the way.
She stopped only when there was enough land to return to the court.
All of a sudden, all the powerful families in the Yue Dynasty who had not yet been purged breathed a sigh of relief. Even if they were lucky enough to escape the disaster, they kept a low profile for a long time in the future and no longer dared to be as greedy and arrogant as before.
The atmosphere of the entire dynasty was cleared up.
The new capital was also stabilized under the emperor's reorganization. Bei Jingchu no longer had to stay in the old capital and set off for the capital to meet with the emperor.
