Chapter 522 I Underestimated Jiang Tinghuai

The ideas that Jiang Yingcheng said in his heart were still somewhat childish.

But there's something about making up rumors...

There is still a lot of room for maneuver.

Jiang Yanchuan didn't want the young man to be trapped in the trivialities of state affairs, thinking about how to make and deliver notes to him all day long, so he took the initiative to call Yu Xingmian over. In front of the young man, the two of them discussed how to trick Prince Xin in public opinion.

"Regarding Prince Xin, has your sect gathered any information?"

Yu Xingmian lowered his eyes and glanced at the young woman who was quietly leaning her head and obviously eavesdropping. He immediately understood and selectively told her what she had just revealed in her heart, and also added a lot of content that he had previously learned.

Jiang Yanchuan lifted the curtain with one hand and tapped the mahogany window frame with the index finger of his other hand, as if beating the beat for their heartbeats.

After a while, he came back to his senses and said quietly, "I have something that I need the help of the followers of your Mo Yu Sect to do."

Yu Xingmian's eyes suddenly brightened.

Since the development of Mo Yu Sect, it has already established countless enemies in the martial arts world. Now that it can get on the big ship of the royal family, it can be said that he has won the organization among his brothers!

…

"Have you heard? There is a prince in Da Rui who is gorgeous and charming. He attracts many girls from the nearby fiefdoms who flock to him, wanting to catch a glimpse of the prince. Maybe they can be lucky enough to be favored by the prince... hehehe..."

"Brother, you are talking about Prince Xin, right? There is nothing wrong with that. This matter is not new news. So you haven't heard about the follow-up of this matter yet, right?!"

"What?"

"This prince, he has a lover in his heart that he cannot get. For many years, he has not paid much attention to matters between men and women. However, since many women are the eldest daughters of officials, he has no choice but to take in many concubines, but he never lingers in the backyard."

"That's not right... The news I heard was that Prince Xin was infertile, but he didn't want this news to be discovered by others, so he had to resort to taking concubines to cover it up, and then ordered his men to have sex with those women..."

The words stopped here at the right moment, and the person who spoke gave a narrow smile and gave a look that said "you know".

Everyone understood immediately and let out a long “Oh”.

Another place——

"Have you heard it? Have you heard it? The reason why Prince Xin is so handsome and looks much younger than his peers is because of him..." The person who spoke said this, looked around carefully, and after confirming that there were no suspicious people around, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "He eats raw human flesh!"

“Wow!!”

“Is this true?!”

"How could this be false? My brother risked his life to escape from Prince Xin's fiefdom, and he is still nervous all day long, afraid that someone will come and capture him!"

"hiss--"

Similar situations were not only happening in this town, but also in the surrounding cities, where everyone was discussing Prince Xin's affairs.

The atmosphere that had been quiet for a long time due to the scorching heat of summer became lively again because of these many "rumors". At first, it was only discussed quietly among the people in the market. Later, a scholar heard about it and wrote a poem in anger, severely criticizing it with every word. More and more scholars participated in it. At this point, all the information that was discussed after dinner was exposed...

It was sent to Jiang Silin's desk.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the letter in his hand which contained all kinds of rumors. The coldness in his eyes made his subordinates who presented the news shudder slightly.

A chuckle that seemed to be poisoned rang out in the slightly dull room.

Zuo Wei tentatively spoke: "My Lord... these rumors——" "Rumors?"

Jiang Silin smiled coldly: "Do you think these are just rumors?"

Zuo Wei wanted to cry but had no tears.

When the messenger arrived at the palace, he claimed that the matter was extremely urgent and must be reported to the prince immediately. He did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately brought people over. On the way, he only had time to roughly inquire about the general situation. How could he know the specific content of the letter? !

Fortunately, Jiang Silin quickly calmed down and threw the letter in his hand over to Zuo Wei so that he could take a closer look.

Zuo Wei quickly read through it.

The further he looked down, the more solemn his expression became.

This letter records all the rumors about the prince from all over the place, but not all of them are the kind that people would laugh at and then replace with new rumors.

Hidden under the cloak of numerous rumors are a few pieces of news that are truly related to their lifeblood——

Prince Xin and Prince Jing had always been good friends and had a deep brotherly love. In the name of mutual learning, they often brought together soldiers from both places for military exercises. However, Prince Xin suffered defeats year after year and his mentality was unstable. In the following years of contact, he even gave the soldiers in Prince Jing's fiefdom a chronic poison, causing heavy losses to Prince Jing.

Prince Xin's fief was not very rich, but the soldiers in his army were all very rich. The root cause was that Prince Xin allowed his soldiers to oppress the people and take things at will in the city, and the people did not dare to ask them for money.

Prince Xin sent people to sneak into Beiming to spy on the war situation, but they were accidentally infected with the plague and brought the disease back to Da Rui...

Each of these three rumors is deadly enough!

Zuo Wei was watching in shock when he suddenly heard another voice from the side: "You underestimated Jiang Tinghuai."

"Crown Prince?" Zuo Wei's thoughts quickly left the letter. "Does your Highness suspect that the Crown Prince leaked all this information?"

Jiang Silin slowly stood up and walked slowly to the window in the flickering candlelight. "Who else could it be if not him? Could it be the first fiefdom owner to spread such news, the King of Nanyang?"

The always happy face of King Nanyang immediately appeared in front of Zuo Wei's eyes, and he shook his head.

The Prince of Nanyang has been acting like a fool for so many years, and he doesn't look like he wants to ascend the throne and become emperor.

On second thought, I felt that what my prince said made some sense.

Although they surrounded the capital city layer by layer, this was not the right time to turn against each other. What they were guarding against were only the secret orders that were secretly sent out. But when they really walked out of the city gate with fanfare, they had to hide their bodies.

Some time ago, Jiang Tinghuai organized all the civil and military officials to leave the city and go up the mountain to pray for blessings, on the pretext of frequent good news coming from the front.

Zuo Wei looked at the letter in his hand again.

The people who made these rumors were very smart. They chose news that people would not easily believe even if they refuted it. But -

"For this piece of news related to King Jing, we can at least..." ask him to come forward and explain a little.

Before he could finish his sentence, Jiang Silin raised his hand to stop him from saying the second half: "How can Jiang Yian be someone you like?"

Moreover, he always felt that Jiang Yian's reactions were a little strange recently.

It's like...

Suddenly lost interest in that position.
