A car accident, our family of three crossed

In Pingyang County, the affairs of the Wan family have been quietly spread in the slums of the city. After all, they are ordinary people at the bottom of society, so they only dare to talk about these things in private and no one dares to bring them up in public. After all, the Wan family is not someone that ordinary people can afford to offend.

Although ordinary people did not dare to offend the Wan family, there were families in the county town who were not afraid of the Wan family.

At the Zhang family timber shop in the west of the city, a young man who looked like a clerk hurried into the shop and said mysteriously to Zhang, the manager, who was checking the accounts at the counter: "Manager, I heard something extraordinary."

"What's the big deal? Why are you so mysterious?" Manager Zhang raised his eyelids to look at the other party, then continued to calculate with his abacus.

"I heard that people are talking about it privately..."

The clerk's home was in the slum area. He usually worked in the shop, leaving early and returning late, so he didn't pay much attention to some private rumors. This morning, as soon as he went out, he heard people around him whispering about the Wan family. Out of curiosity, he quietly asked around, but he didn't expect it to be such a big deal.

After listening to this, Manager Zhang stopped calculating on his abacus and looked a little serious. He thought to himself that if this was true, it would be a really big deal!

Even if it's not all true, as long as the eldest son of the Wan family's threat to become a local emperor can be confirmed, once this happens, it will be enough to make the Wan family suffer.

As the rival of the Wan family, how could the Zhang family miss such a good opportunity? Manager Zhang asked the waiter to come close and whisper a few words, and the waiter listened and nodded continuously.

"Go! If you get the job done, you'll get a reward."

"Okay! I'll do it right away."

After sending the waiter away, Manager Zhang pondered for a while and then left the shop in a hurry. He would definitely report the matter to his boss and then work out a solution.

At the same time, several jailers in the county jail were also discussing the matter. Those outrageous words were said by the eldest son of the Wan family himself in the jail, so the rumors from the outside world were not unfair to him.

But how did this news get out? Several jailers looked at their companions with suspicion.

Jailer 1: "Hey, I wonder if you were the one who spread this?"

The second jailer was shocked: "Don't talk nonsense about this, I didn't do it."

Then, both of them turned their attention to another person at the same time, who was the jailer who had been slapped by Wan Baolu before.

"By the way, you've been beaten by Master Wan before, so it was you, right?"

"That's right, it must be you. You hold a grudge against Master Wan, so you spread the news, right? That's great, Third Jia. You should keep quiet and do great things!"

The jailer called Jia Lao San quickly denied it: "Don't make random guesses. Even if I have ten guts, I wouldn't dare to go out and say anything! Besides, there were so many people present that day. Maybe it was spread by the servants of the Wan family. I heard that Master Wan treats his servants very badly on weekdays."

Jia Laosan wanted to create some trouble for Wan Baolu, but his brain was not working well and he didn't expect to make a fuss about this matter!

And his guess was not without reason. Not all the servants around Wan Baolu were loyal to their master.

At this time, someone was secretly contacting the servants of the Wan family, wanting to spend money to buy the authenticity of the news from them. Faced with the silver, there were always greedy people. They took the silver and secretly revealed the news to those who were interested.

Apart from the slums, the places that discussed this matter the most in private were some small alleys and lanes.

Constable Wang Jin would go home every day at noon. Today, he had just walked into Xiaoyu Hutong. On both sides of the hutong, some residents were gathered to chat after dinner. When someone saw him, they took the initiative to greet him, "Constable Wang, are you not busy today?"

Then, he came up to me and asked, "Detective Wang, is the story about the Wan family true?"

"Wan family's business? What's Wan family's business?" Wang Jin asked puzzledly.

"Huh? You don't know?"

The man thought that since Constable Wang worked at the county government office, he might know more about such things than ordinary people like them. Unexpectedly, he didn't seem to know anything, so the man told him mysteriously how people were discussing the Wan family in private.

Wang Jin's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he asked, "Where did you hear about this?"

The man said, "Everyone is discussing this in private!"

Wang Jin remained silent. After thinking for a while, he said sternly, "This matter is of great importance. If you don't want to cause trouble, don't discuss it anymore. As for whether this matter is true or not, the government will investigate it."

Seeing his serious expression, the man was worried that he might get into trouble, so he nodded in agreement.

The jailer Jia Laosan had the same experience as Wang Jin. After finishing his shift, he was stopped by neighbors to inquire about the news before he even returned to his doorstep.

Jia Laosan felt strange. When he left in the morning, everyone seemed to know nothing about the matter. But when he came back in the evening, it seemed that everyone knew about it. Like Wang Jin, he told everyone not to talk about it outside to avoid trouble.

When he returned home, he had to remind his family not to tell anyone about it. He felt that if the matter got out of hand, he might even be beheaded.

Things that seemed to be nothing on the surface were actually causing a storm in secret.

Overnight, this matter spread like wildfire, as if it had legs. With the help of some people with ulterior motives, after a night of fermentation, it had spread to every street and alley. Everyone knew what should and shouldn't be known.

At Jubao Pavilion, the shopkeeper Zhou Huan couldn't help but click his tongue after hearing the report from his subordinates: "Tsk tsk tsk, this is a cruel trick." Then he sent his subordinate away and asked him to report to him when there was any new progress.

In the county town, many families took a wait-and-see attitude towards this matter, while those merchants whose business was suppressed by the Wan family took this opportunity to take a bite out of the Wan family.

At this time, in the Wan family mansion, the housekeeper ran hurriedly towards the main courtyard.

"Master, Master, something bad has happened. Something terrible has happened."

"Why are you yelling so loudly so early in the morning?" Master Wan heard the housekeeper say these unlucky words when he woke up early in the morning and felt unlucky.

"Master, something big has happened."

The butler came to Master Wan breathlessly and told him the wild rumors outside. Master Wan, who had just complained that the butler was unlucky so early in the morning, could no longer sit still after hearing this.

"What did you say? Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true, sir. It's spread like crazy outside."

"How could this happen? Who is framing my Wan family?" If this matter is not handled properly, the entire family will be exterminated. Master Wan was so anxious that he paced back and forth in the main hall, "Go, go and find that rebellious son for me."

Then he thought about it and said, "Forget it, I'll go there myself."
