Chapter 226 Secretly Following Lin Yao
The two women finally reacted and hurriedly pulled the bearded man.
As soon as they pounced on her, Yun Wansheng pulled the woman up from the bench with one of his hands, avoiding the attack of the two. However, this caused the vicious woman to scream in pain.
When the two women pounced on her again, Yun Wansheng kicked them hard, knocking them to the ground one after another, and they couldn't get up for a long time.
"Tell me! Which son of your cousin is he? Are you sure he works for the government? If you don't explain clearly in front of everyone today, I will send you to the government and charge you with falsely accusing an official's family." Yun Wansheng said fiercely.
No wonder she acted so quickly to stop the evil woman from spreading her malicious words.
Her words just now made people know that this was a new round of rumors. She had to curb the source of the rumors while these tea drinkers were still unaware of the truth.
Only by debunking the rumor on the spot can people know that these women are maliciously lying and harming others.
Her original plan was to listen to what they said and then follow them secretly to see who was behind the murder of them.
But if that happened, what they said would be spread to all the guests in the teahouse.
By then, word will spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Even if he finds the mastermind behind the incident, the rumors will have spread all over the capital. The common people and the powerful will not care whether they are true or not. In the end, it will be their superiors who will suffer.
Therefore, she must subdue the man first. Only in this way can she clear the name of the government immediately.
When the woman heard about the police report, her expression changed slightly: "Little brother, please let go first. We can talk it out if you have anything to say."
"Stop talking nonsense. If you don't say anything, I'll send someone to report to the police. Tell me! What's the name of your cousin's son, and what job does he hold in the government office?" Yun Wansheng pulled her hair hard again, not giving her any time to waste.
"I...his name is Huang San." The evil woman said with guilt and fear.
What she said just now was instructed by someone else. How could she know who that cousin's son was?
Yun Wansheng sneered when she heard this, "Evil woman, as far as I know, there are only three men in the Shangguan Mansion, one is the housekeeper Chen, and the other two are just servants responsible for cleaning the courtyard.
Although the Shangguan Mansion is not small, there are very few people living there. In order to save money, General Shangguan did not hire too many servants. He only hired two servants to clean the yard where the master lived.
Besides, how could General Shangguan, a military commander, allow a servant to stand guard in his courtyard? If there really was an assassin, would the servant protect the general? Or would the general protect the servant?
What's more, the two servants were named Wang Shi and Deng Bing, and there was no one named Huang San.
"You are obviously fabricating something out of thin air and framing others. Tell me! Who ordered you to wrongly accuse the government? If you don't, I will send someone to the Regent's Palace to invite the Regent."
When the evil woman heard the word "Regent", she trembled with fear. "Little...brother, please forgive me! That masked man taught me to say that. He gave me thirty taels of silver to frame General Shangguan. This is none of my business!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Wansheng let her go and then looked up at the tea drinkers who were watching the excitement: "Everyone, you all saw this, right? The rumors about the Shangguan Mansion that are all over the capital now are all false, except for the one about the young lady in his mansion being a jinx.
These rumors about General Shangguan must have been spread by treacherous people who were trying to sow discord between the merchants of Shun and the Dongqiang people.
Although the Three Kingdoms were unified, it was not easy to achieve stability through unified governance.
However, when it comes to governance, the regent was wise. In order to make the Dongqiang people completely submit to the Shun Shang Kingdom, he came up with the idea of making use of the Dongqiang people.
Because only when the Dongqiang people see that our Shun Shang Kingdom also regards them as its subjects, will they obey the management of Shun Shang Kingdom.
But if the villains succeed in sowing discord and let the people of Dongqiang know that our Shun Shang Kingdom has bullied them, it will inevitably cause unrest, which will be disadvantageous to both of us.
I hope everyone can look at this matter rationally and not let the evildoers succeed in their plan and plunge the country, which has finally been unified, into the predicament of war again."
After hearing what he said, everyone in the room couldn't help but look at her seriously, as if they were really considering this matter.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of applause coming from upstairs, which made everyone look up, and Yun Wansheng naturally looked up as well.
When she saw who that person was, her eyes were slightly stunned. She didn't expect Mu Xingci to be here too.
"Little brother, I didn't expect that you are such a chivalrous person. When you see injustice, you punish it without hesitation. You are worthy of being a good son of my Shun Shang country. I admire you!" Mu Xingci looked at the thin man downstairs with admiration.
The man was wearing a navy blue suit, with black hair down to his waist and a blue hair tie tied on top of his head. His face was slightly dark, his eyebrows were rough, and he had single eyelids. Although he had a mustache, he didn't look very old.
Yun Wansheng saw that the bastard didn't recognize her, so she couldn't help but curl her lips slightly and said in her newly masculine voice, "Your Majesty, you're too polite. The unification of the world was hard-won. As a citizen of Shunshang, I have the obligation to supervise these treacherous people who want to undermine the stability of the country."
"Little brother, you are absolutely right. May I know your name?"
Yun Wansheng's disguise this time made Mu Xingci unable to recognize whether the person downstairs was a man or a woman.
"Uh! My name is Yan Li. Regent, since you are here, I will leave this evil woman to you. I have something else to do, so I will leave first." After saying that, she quickly left the teahouse without waiting for the man to reply.
Mu Xingci looked at the man's back with suspicion. Why would this man help the Shangguan Mansion?
Yun Wansheng did not return home, but asked for directions to the Shangshu Mansion.
Shangguan Lan's wedding date was approaching, and her military duties suddenly increased, which made it difficult for her to tell him to take care of his own affairs first.
So, he thought of investigating secretly first, and then explaining it to Shangguan Lan when the time was right.
When she arrived near the Shangshu Mansion, she hid in an alley, staring at the movement of the mansion gate from time to time.
Just when she was getting impatient, she suddenly saw a carriage coming from behind the mansion and then stopped at the door of the Shangshu Mansion. It seemed that someone was going out.
Sure enough, the next moment she saw the door open, and then Lin Yao came out with her maid, and then the two of them got on the carriage.
As soon as the carriage left, Yun Wansheng followed it.
The carriage was driving slowly on the busy streets, so it wasn't too tiring for Yun Wansheng to follow.
I followed the carriage all the way through many twists and turns until I finally saw it stop at the gate of a house.
When Yun Wansheng saw the car stopped, she quickly hid in an alley not far away.
When he heard voices coming from the front, he stuck his head out to look at the carriage.
Lin Yao bent down and got out of the car, but she did not rush into the yard. Instead, she glanced around as if she was afraid of something. Her unusual behavior was noticed by Yun Wansheng.
Seeing Lin Yao enter the house, Yun Wansheng pretended to be a passerby and walked towards the gate.
When passing by the door, I looked up and saw that there was no door plaque on it, which meant that this was just an ordinary family.
But how could a young lady like Lin Yao come to such a place?
