The most difficult thing in the world to stop is gossip, especially if someone sows the seeds of controversy, and rumors will spread like wildfire.
The day after Mrs. Cao committed suicide by hanging from a beam, various versions of rumors spread in the city.
Some people say that those mountain bandits colluded with officials in Lizhou to grow so powerful that even the Imperial Forest Army could kill them.
Some people say that those bandits are the incarnation of demons and can eat human flesh and blood. Those who suppress the bandits can only leave without returning.
Others say that the Yue King Zhao Li was not willing to be just a vassal king. He simply allowed the bandits to cause trouble. In fact, he was raising troops for himself. When the time was right, he would force the palace to usurp the throne to satisfy his wolfish ambitions.
The last statement is too bold and highly directional, so not many people dare to spread it.
But rumors can always follow the wind and go wherever they want.
"Uncle Qin, I'm here to get the reward I deserve."
Song Wan walked into the bookstore with Bai He. The old man sitting at the counter slowly sipped his tea and said with a smile: "No rush, our boss wants to see you first."
"I said before that I would not reveal my identity to anyone."
"Don't worry, it's just our boss, no outsiders."
Uncle Qin stood up and walked out from behind the counter.
Having met him several times, this was the first time Song Wan saw his whole face. It was also at this time that Song Wan discovered that Uncle Qin's right leg was hollow from the calf down and was only supported by a thick wooden stake.
After years of grinding, the tops of the wooden piles have been ground extremely round.
Uncle Qin walked to the passage leading to the back of the store, helped lift the curtain, and said, "Please."
The passage behind the curtain was a little dark and looked a bit scary, but Song Wan was not afraid and walked straight over. Bai He wanted to follow, but Uncle Qin stopped him and said, "Our boss just wants to see her. Little girl, you go first." Wait outside."
Bai He was worried and called out worriedly: "Girl!"
Song Wan gave her a comforting look and said, "Don't be afraid, just wait for me for a while." After that, he walked into the passage.
This passage was longer than Song Wan imagined. At the end was a dark room. Song Wan raised his hand and knocked on the door three times. A clear voice came from behind the door: "Come in."
Song Wan pushed the door open and went in. There was no light inside and the light was very dark. He could only vaguely see a person sitting in the room, but he couldn't see his face clearly and couldn't tell the man or woman.
"I'm here to get the reward I deserve."
Song Wan repeated his purpose and felt the other party's eyes falling on him, full of scrutiny.
After a long time, the man said: "You want to kill the King of Yue."
Not a question, but an affirmation.
Song Wan dared to bring the manuscript here, so she was prepared to be discovered. She didn't panic and said calmly: "Yes."
"Not afraid of death?"
"If you help me, I won't die."
Song Wan answered quite straightforwardly. The other party was silent for a moment, then laughed and asked, "How do you know I will help you?"
"Song Qingfeng left something here. After the Song family was ransacked, you moved it to a safer place and were still willing to give it to me, which shows that you are a good person," Song Wan said truthfully, and then said, " The owner behind the underground gambling house is the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion. If you can get to know her, your connections in Beijing must be strong, and you must be able to help me."
A capable and good person should be the best person for Song Wan to seek help from.
Song Wan analyzed it in an orderly manner, and the other party asked: "You are so smart, could you have guessed my identity?"
Song Wan blinked and asked: "My boss doesn't even want to show his face, can I tell him his name?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
