"Did you hear that?"

Heyang Street The largest tea shop on the Internet was crowded with people. The corner that should have been very noisy was temporarily quieted by this mysterious voice.

The man seemed to be deliberately lowering his voice, but the volume was enough for everyone around him to clearly distinguish. "There is a high-ranking family in our Capital City. Not long ago, because the master thought that the concubine in the family was old and young, he ruthlessly found a reason to drive the concubine and her son out of the house!"

"Hiss--"

"Ouch!!"

"Tell me carefully?!"

This is the favorite place for idle people in Beijing to gather, and it is particularly suitable as a hotbed for the spread of rumors.

As soon as he said this, the noise around him became much quieter.

Seeing that more and more people were turning their attention to him, the man grinned and smiled evilly, "This is first-hand information I just got this morning. Let me tell you--"

"The senior official, in order to prevent anyone from saying that he was always in trouble and then gave up, put a big hat on the concubine -" The man in the center of the crowd looked around, and then, amid the curious eyes, he spoke leisurely, "The senior official claimed that the concubine was involved with Head Guard in the mansion!"

There were several gasps from the crowd, and the entire tea shop fell silent unconsciously.

After a long while, someone finally spoke hesitantly--

"So... is that concubine really having an affair with that Head Guard?"

"Of course not!" The man said resolutely, "The concubine's clan is in decline, so how can they dare to take such a big risk and trade the future of their mother and son for such a modest thing?!"

"Which senior official?" Someone said softly, "This is so shameless!"

"This high-ranking official is a very powerful one. How can we, a small common people, have the qualifications to talk about that person's rights and wrongs?" The person who broke the news also sneered and laughed very narrowly, "This matter cannot be discussed, it cannot be discussed--"

"Afraid of a ball?!"

"The Holy Spirit is fair and strict today. If it can be proven that this matter is true, what will happen if everyone goes to beat him Grievance Drum today?" Someone was filled with righteous indignation, "Just say it!!"

"That's right!"

The accomplice hiding in the crowd easily aroused the crowd's emotions with a few words. The person who broke the news lowered his head and groaned for a while, then raised his head with a brave expression on his face. "Okay! Then I will be a righteous person today and contribute a small amount to the Qingming Festival of Great Rui!!"

He drank the crude tea in the bowl in one gulp and said with great pride, "That senior official is the one we admire so much on weekdays - Right Chancellor Tan Wenhan!"

"Although he did nothing wrong while he was an official, if he behaves like this, who can guarantee that he will not be driven by interests in the future and prey on the common people?!"

"Folks, let's--"

Halfway through the words, the voice became smaller and smaller until it disappeared completely. The person who broke the news looked at the expressions of everyone who suddenly became extremely calm, and was confused. "Um..."

"What are you--" What's wrong? When you hear it's a big shot like Right Chancellor, you're all scared?!

Tan Residence, who was hiding in the tea shop, snorted lightly, raised his glass calmly, and winked at the person they arranged.

Their prime minister is really clever and can accurately predict even this kind of thing!

"Isn't this right?" Tan Residence, who was hiding in the tea shop, suddenly spoke, finally breaking the unspeakable silence, "Why is this different from the news we heard?"

The person who broke the news calmed down. "What's different?"

"Tan Residence has a concubine in her family. She has an ugly appearance, but because of her extraordinary talents, Gu Chancellor Tan has always respected and loved her--"

"Impossible!" the person who broke the news blurted out, "If there is such love, how come there are no good stories between them in Beijing?!"

On weekdays, every move of these high-ranking officials attracts a lot of attention from the people. If this matter has really reached the level where everyone can speak of it, it is impossible for them not to receive the news!!

There were responses and sounds sounded one after another--

"This... this dear friend is right. I have also heard about Chancellor Tan and that concubine..."

"That's right! Yesterday I was traveling with my friends, and I saw Chancellor Tan and the concubine walking together. Their intimate gestures made me very affectionate at first sight! How could Chancellor Tan kick the concubine out of the house for such superficial reasons as you said?!"

"I saw it too!"

"Me too..."

"Brother, where did this news... come from?"

The person who broke the news had a thin layer of cold sweat on his head. He pursed his lips for a long time, but could not find his voice.

How could it be such a coincidence?!

They just made this plan, so Tan Wenhan happens to be traveling with his ugly concubine?!

This isn't right!

The few people sent by Tan Residence secretly looked at each other and looked away with satisfaction.

Chancellor Tan and Concubine Jiang spent four or five hours wandering around the city yesterday. After returning home, they were both so tired that they didn't even want to talk. They didn't even have time to wash up, so they fell asleep.

Fortunately, this result is quite satisfactory--

"I thought you would have so many scoops!"

Before the joy in Tan Residence's hearts subsided, someone suddenly laughed loudly, "Is that it?"

The man stood up slowly, still holding the unfinished hot tea in his hand. "Why don't I tell you some really shocking information about Chancellor Tan!"

Tan Residence person. "..."

The person who broke the news before. "..."

Everyone in the party was stunned for a moment.

What's going on?

Where did this come from?!

Ignoring everyone's stunned expressions, the man said quietly, "It is said that Chancellor Tan once had a brother when he was young, but that man devoted himself wholeheartedly to Military Camp and later died on the battlefield. Chancellor Tan was heartbroken, so he entered the imperial examination and climbed to such a high position, just so that one day he could personally avenge the brothers!"

Tan Residence Everyone: "..." What the hell.

The person who broke the news before. "..." This is... friendly forces?

Everyone's expressions were as if struck by lightning, and their voices were harsh. "It's fake... right?"

"Don't believe it?" The man snorted, "I have something even worse! Rumor has it that Chancellor Tan's current wife is the sister of the Naqi brothers. The reason why the two got married is just that Chancellor Tan wanted to take good care of the Naqi brothers' family members!"

Everyone's expressions became even more confused.

But the more the man talked, the more excited he became. "You still don't believe it?"

"I still have it!" He kept typing like he was pouring beans. "According to legend, Chancellor Tan was transformed by an earthly immortal in the mountains. He originally came to the human world to survive the calamity of love, but a brother-in-law came out of nowhere and staged such a heart-wrenching love story. Chancellor Tan also gave up on himself and simply lived in the world-"

The man's big eyes looked around, and when he saw that no one finally spoke up to refute, he raised the corners of his lips quite contentedly.

--As long as the "violent information" he said is enough nonsense, everyone will subconsciously feel that even the previous person's revelations were compiled.

Little Highness is high!
