Chapter 982: Public Opinion Can Make a Person Appear Guilty

"Yishan, what nonsense are you talking about? Chengqin has a noble character and is positive. How can he have time to take care of his children's personal affairs?"

While talking, Dean Zhang walked into the hall with his hands behind his back and glanced at his daughter with disapproval.

"You are Chengqin's wife now. As long as you take care of the family for him and don't cause any trouble for him, you are a qualified good wife. Don't let the slightest disturbance disturb your mind and throw yourself into confusion."

"Dad, I..."

Seeing her father coming over, Zhang Yishan wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and her face turned a little red. She knew that she was making a fuss out of a molehill, but it was an official matter and she couldn't be calm.

"The more this situation happens, the more you have to be steady and not hold Chengqin back. Now is not the time to be willful. You have a family behind you to take care of."

Dean Zhang looked at his daughter and his tone was a little softer. After all, she was young and had less experience.

"Chengqin is currently at the forefront of the storm, and it is expected that he will be criticized. He is now a close official, and his appearance has hindered the interests and status of some people, so he will naturally be jealous of others."

Zhang Yishan held the handkerchief nervously, her face turned pale, "What should we do, dad, can you help the officials?"

Officials rarely mentioned official matters to her. When they did, they would only ask her to take good care of her family and her son, and leave the rest to him.

Every time she heard the official say this, she was particularly pleased. The official was capable and capable, and she would be a good helper and not cause trouble to the official.

Now that I think about it, my face gets a little hot.

She was anxious. Fortunately, her father gave her some advice and almost held her back.

Seeing his daughter's anxious look, Dean Zhang waved his hand, "Don't be anxious, Chengqin is not stupid. Let's see if he can solve the problem first? Taking action hastily will only disrupt Chengqin's plan."

Rumor has it that this kind of thing is of the lowest quality and cannot be put on the stage.

But some people love this despicable method, and it works repeatedly.

Recently, he and Chengqin stayed in the study for an hour every day. After a game of chess, they also discussed most of the situation in the court.

The responsibility on the son-in-law's shoulders is great, and the risks are also not small.

He is now a target pushed by the officials, and he is also a sharp knife in the hands of the officials. Whether he can block external attacks depends on his personal ability.

There is nothing that can be done about it. There is no one behind him, so he can only fight for his future with his life. This is also the biggest reason why the officials can feel free to use him.

Sure enough, Chengqin did not disappoint the officials.

That's why people are afraid of it. Chengqin had already expected this, so it was nothing to fear.

"Right now, these rumors are just a stepping stone. In the future, the higher Chengqin stands, the more and more tricks he will use against him. But no matter what time, as the mistress of the inner house, you have to stand firm. You are the only one who can stand firm. Stay calm and there will be no chaos in the house."

Seeing her father's steady appearance, Zhang Yishan slowly calmed down.

"Dad is right, I'm worried. Officials are smart, and ordinary people can't fool him easily."

After calming down, Zhang Yishan cleared her throat and sat down firmly next to her, as if she was not the one who was anxious just now.

Zhang Yiren and his wife looked at each other helplessly.

Naturally, they couldn't bear to blame their own daughter.

Kyoto is recognized by people all over the world as a prosperous place and a gathering place for noble families. But at the same time, it is also a mixed bag of fish and dragons, with people from three religions and nine streams mixed in, each with their own way of survival.

Among them, the group at the bottom are the helpers who walk around the streets.

There are many types of helpers. Some are diners and housekeepers raised by wealthy families. They are mainly responsible for accompanying their masters for leisure, that is, to pass the time.

There are also some helpers who wander the streets and alleys, delivering messages and running errands for people. These people are well-informed and have the strongest communication ability.

Just like dandelions, they cover every corner when the wind blows.

In just a day and a half, the wind direction outside changed, and rumors spread throughout the city that Wenquxing was coming, indicating that a great writer would be born in the imperial court.

"It's a good sign that Wenquxing has come to earth."

"Yes, I heard that Wenquxing assists Ziweixing. As long as Wenquxing shines, it also indicates that the country will be prosperous and the court will surely usher in a prosperous age."

"If that's true, that would be great. They say it's better to be a peaceful dog than a troubled person. As long as the court has capable people, we won't starve to death even if we beg for food."

"Yes, yes, I hope that this Wenquxing will be reused by the Tian family as soon as possible, make contributions to the court, create a prosperous age, and benefit the people."

"..."

The next day, there was a pile of information on the Long Case, all about Wen Quxing. I hope the officials will investigate the matter carefully. If it is true, they can recruit this person into the court and serve the country loyally.

Tianjia read a few books and raised his eyebrows.

It would divert attention.

Yesterday I was still in dire straits, but today I have become a celebrity.

"Wang Deren, what do you think of the Hanlin bachelor I appointed?"

The waiter waiting nearby listened to the official's inquiry, his heart skipped a beat, and he smiled cautiously.

"You are from the Heavenly Family, so you have no say in how you look at people. However, Bai Hanlin thinks that the character is valuable, and you are not like those who are sneaky and sneaky."

As the chief chamberlain, he serves officials every day and is very familiar with Bai Hanlin.

At a young age, the city is quite deep, but he is loyal to the officials and is a sharp knife.

Listening to Wang Deren's words, Emperor Cheng Xuan glanced at him and said, "It seems that you have a good sense for Bai Hanlin."

Thump~

Wang Deren was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, sweating on his forehead.

"This slave deserves to die. You should not speak nonsense. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Okay, get up. I'm not blaming you." Emperor Chengxuan scolded with a smile.

"Send someone to check what these rumors are about?"

"Yes, I'll send someone to check it out right away," Wang Deren retreated with his body bent, raised his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. The head on his head is always in the wind and rain.

"Ask Bai Hanlin to accompany the emperor."

"Yes~"

Regarding the rumors on the street, Xiaowu sat in the Hanlin Academy with a slightly gloomy face.

Colleagues who were sorting documents back and forth looked at him again and again, and they were hesitant to speak.

The last one finally couldn't help it and walked up to him with a pile of documents, "Lord Bai, this rumor is very unfavorable to you, especially to Grand Tutor Ning. You have to explain it carefully to avoid misunderstandings."

These people are really bold. After being with Bai Hanlin for half a year, they still know a little bit.

Bai Hanlin is well-read and knowledgeable. He is a humble person. Even though he often accompanies the emperor, he never shows off. He is quite popular among his colleagues.

Rumors like those on the street are simply insulting. As a learned man, how could he use such despicable means?

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Liu. If you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of someone knocking on your door in the middle of the night. Bai is upright and not afraid of his own shadow."

Xiao Wu sighed, feeling helpless about this matter.

"That can't be dragged on. Lord Bai should know that gossip can melt gold." (End of this chapter)
