Chapter 220 Hehe! Old sisters! Here comes our chance to crack the gossip!

Upon hearing this, Minister Lin was no longer sleepy and ran out to inquire what was going on.

After asking, he found out that it was the bizarre story that had swept the entire capital since yesterday afternoon, which had played an unexpected role.

Just after dawn today, several women hurried to the yamen.

Along the way, the women were a little nervous, looking around from time to time, as if they were afraid of being discovered by someone.

The women hurried and finally arrived at the Jingzhao Yamen just before the government office opened.

The yamen runner who opened the door saw several nervous old ladies standing at the door. He thought something had happened to them and asked hurriedly, "Ladies, is there anything important?"

When the women saw the official questioning them, they became even more nervous and kept pushing each other.

Finally, an old woman with the most courage stood up and said, "Sir! Didn't we hear a few stories about the teahouse yesterday?"

"Sir, you must know that the story is true, right!"

The yamen runner nodded in agreement.

Yesterday afternoon, all the yamen runners in the capital knew about the bizarre story by hearing or watching.

And what they knew more than ordinary people was that the story was not only true, but also involved the people of Nanzhao!

What's worse, it involved the old family of literati - the Yan family! !

What's even more terrifying is that this matter also concerns the royal family! !

Therefore, when the yamen runners heard the old woman mention this story, their expressions on their faces couldn't help but become a little serious. When

the old woman saw the yamen runner nod, she looked around and carefully whispered to the yamen runner, "Sir, we seem to have met the people mentioned in the story who 'can't sunbathe'!" After hearing this

, the yamen runner's pupils shrank, his expression became more serious, and he directly invited the women into the yamen, and hurriedly informed the Jingzhao Yin of the news.

When Jingzhao Yin heard the news, he understood the importance of the news in his heart, and without delay sent someone to report to the Dali Temple opposite the government office.

Yes, the Jingzhao Yamen and the Dali Temple are door-to-door, and it is also to save time and procedures for transferring cases between each other.

Oh, by the way, the Ministry of Justice is also next to the Jingzhao Yamen.

Well, this location choice perfectly embodies the word "easy"!

And now Minister Lin is the head of both the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple, so Jingzhao Yin quickly sent someone to report to Minister Lin.

When Minister Lin met the ladies, Jingzhao Yin was asking them in a friendly manner about the details of the matter.

They were no longer nervous at this moment, but instead felt a little proud.

Hehe!

Other old sisters have never been to the Yamen!

Not only did they enter, they also met the high officials!

The high officials were very kind to them!

This is really a great success! They

have made progress!

Moreover, according to what the high official said, they are the first group of people to have new discoveries!

Not only have they made it big now! They have

also brought honor to their family!

The women were grinning with joy while answering Jingzhao Yin's questions.

When Jingzhao Yin saw Minister Lin, he quickly stood up and bowed.

"Greetings, Minister Lin!"

The women were uneasy again when they saw the senior official who had just been friendly with them suddenly bowing to another senior official in a very formal manner.

Several people also stood up tremblingly, trying to recall the way those rich ladies bowed, and gave Minister Lin an awkward bow.

"No need to be so polite, everyone,

just get down to business!" Minister Lin didn't waste any words, it was time for the morning court.

Moreover, Zhao Taiyang's information was too critical, and not a single second could be wasted!

"Yes!" Several people replied respectfully.

Then, Jingzhao Yin sorted out what the woman had just said, and with the woman's occasional supplements, the whole story was revealed.

It turned out that several women all lived in the South Lane of the capital.

The families living in the South Lane were all of average economic conditions, but they were much better than those in the North Lane. Most of them were families of maids and servants working in various mansions.

Although they were still wearing coarse linen clothes, at least there were no patchwork, unlike in the North Lane, where people were reluctant to throw away clothes after they were full of patchwork.

So the people in the North Lane were so grateful when the Qin family donated clothes last time.

These women all lived in the middle of the South Lane and were among the richest in the South Lane. They

were very familiar with each other and often visited each other, bringing snacks and food, gossiping and the like.

However, there is a courtyard in that area that is out of tune with the surrounding area. The

courtyard is not big, just a courtyard with a single entrance. Standing at the gate and shouting loudly, you can talk to people in the main hall.

But although the courtyard is located in the central area where "every inch of land is worth a lot of money" in the eyes of people in Nanxiang, it has always been vacant.

The women shouted outside several times and no one responded before they confirmed that it was an empty house.

Because this courtyard "occupies the toilet but does not shit", it often becomes the object of gossip among the surrounding residents.

The women who came to report today are the group of people who gossip the most.

Some people speculate that the owner of this courtyard has forgotten that he still has this courtyard?

Others speculate that this courtyard must be one of the courtyards that a certain wealthy businessman or official bought for his mistress!

Some even speculated that the owner of the yard had died in the yard.

It can be said that the women's curiosity about this yard has never ceased.

As long as there is a little movement in the yard, the women living around it will immediately pay attention to it, and then they will start to monitor it in relays.

For example, woman A monitors in the morning, woman B monitors in the afternoon, and woman C monitors at night, and they take turns in turn until they go to bed.

The next day, the surveillance continued until the women found out what was going on in the yard and satisfied their gossip.

Moreover, every time there was a handover, the monitor would pass on all the information he had observed to the next round of monitors.

Try to keep the information coming!

When Minister Lin heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched.

He silently complained in his heart: Are these Nanxiang aunts so idle? And they are relaying surveillance? They are really professional.

If the court recruited external personnel for tracking and surveillance, these aunts might all stand out...

And before dawn yesterday, there was finally movement in that yard.

The movement was first discovered by the woman closest to the yard, the bravest old woman, Aunt You.

Because of her age, Aunt You didn't know much, so she woke up early in the morning, prepared breakfast at home, and started to stroll around.

While strolling, she saw someone quietly entered the yard.

At this moment, Aunt You's eyes lit up instantly.

Hehe!

Old sisters and children!

Here's our chance to crack the gossip!
