"Did you hear that?"

The largest teahouse on Heyang Street was crowded with people. The corner, which should have been very noisy, became briefly quiet because of this mysterious voice.

The man seemed to be deliberately lowering his voice, but the volume was loud enough for the people around him to clearly distinguish: "In our capital, there is a wealthy family. A while ago, because the master felt that his concubine was old and ugly, he cruelly found a reason to drive the concubine and her son out of the house!"

"hiss--"

"Ouch!!"

"Tell me in detail?!"

This is the favorite gathering place for idle people in Beijing, and it is particularly suitable as a breeding ground for spreading rumors.

As soon as these words were spoken, the noise around them became much quieter.

Seeing more and more people's eyes shifting to him, the man grinned and laughed evilly: "This is first-hand information I just got this morning. Let me tell you--"

"In order to prevent people from saying that he had an affair with her and then abandoned her, the senior official also put a big accusation on the concubine—" The man in the center of the crowd looked around, and then, amid the curious gazes, he spoke leisurely, "The senior official claimed that the concubine had an affair with the chief guard of the mansion!"

Several people gasped in surprise among the crowd, and the entire teahouse fell silent without anyone noticing.

After a long while, someone finally spoke hesitantly:

"So... did that concubine really have an affair with that guard chief?"

"Of course not!" the man said firmly, "The concubine's family is in decline, how dare they take such a big risk and exchange the future of her and her son for such a shameful thing?!"

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

"This senior official is a very powerful person. How can we, as ordinary people, be qualified to make irresponsible comments about him?" The person who broke the news also sneered and laughed mischievously, "This matter cannot be discussed, cannot be discussed——"

"What are you afraid of?!"

"The current emperor is fair and strict. If he can prove that this is true, why don't we all go and report it to him today?" Someone was filled with righteous indignation, "Just say it!!"

"That's right!"

The accomplice hiding in the crowd easily stirred the crowd's emotions with just a few words. The person who broke the news bowed his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head with a desperate expression: "Okay! Then I will be a righteous man today and contribute a little to the Qingming Festival of Da Rui!!"

He drank the rough tea in the bowl in one gulp and said with great pride: "That senior official is the one we admire so much - Right Prime Minister Tan Wenhan!"

"Although he did nothing wrong during his time as an official, if he is this kind of person, who can guarantee that he will not be driven by profit and exploit the people in the future?!"

"Fellow villagers, let us——"

The voice became smaller and smaller until it disappeared completely. The person who broke the news looked at the people who suddenly became unusually calm, and said in bewilderment: "Uh..."

"What are you doing--" What's wrong? Are you all scared when you hear that it's a big shot like the Right Prime Minister? !

The people from the Tan residence hiding in the teahouse sneered, raised their glasses calmly, and winked at the people they had arranged.

Their prime minister is indeed a man of great foresight, he can even accurately predict things like this!

"Isn't this right?" Someone from the Tan residence who was hiding in the teahouse suddenly spoke up, finally breaking the unspeakable silence. "Why is this different from the news we heard?"

The person who broke the news calmed down and asked, "What's the difference?"

"The Tan family has a concubine who is plain-looking, but because of her extraordinary talent and affection, Prime Minister Gu Tan has always respected and loved her——"

"Impossible!" the person who broke the news blurted out, "If they were really that loving, how come there wouldn't be a good story about them in the capital?!"

Normally, the actions of these high-ranking officials are closely watched by the people. If this matter has really reached the point where everyone can talk about it, there is no way they didn't receive the news! !

There were responses one after another.

"This... this gentleman is right. I have also heard about the affair between Prime Minister Tan and his concubine..."

"That's right! Yesterday, when I was out with my friends, I saw Prime Minister Tan and his concubine shopping together. Their intimate gestures showed that they were very affectionate! How could Prime Minister Tan drive his concubine out of the house for such a superficial reason as you said?!"

"I saw it too!"

"Me too……"

"Brother, where did you get this information?"

The person who broke the news had a thin layer of cold sweat on his head, and he stammered for a long time, but couldn't find his own voice.

How could it be such a coincidence? !

They had just finalized the plan, and Tan Wenhan happened to be traveling with his ugly concubine?!

This is not right!

The people sent by the Tan Mansion looked at each other secretly, then looked away with satisfaction.

Prime Minister Tan and Madam Jiang strolled around the city for four or five hours 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 before they fell into a deep sleep.

Fortunately, this result is quite satisfactory.

"I thought you guys had so many exclusives!"

Before the Tan family members could calm down from their secret joy, they heard someone suddenly laugh loudly, "That's it?"

The man slowly stood up, still holding the unfinished hot tea in his hand: "Why don't I tell you some real explosive news about Prime Minister Tan!"

People in the Tan Mansion: "..."

The person who broke the news earlier: "..."

Several parties were stunned for a moment.

what's the situation?

Where did this come from?!

Ignoring the stunned expressions of the crowd, the man spoke quietly, "It is said that Prime Minister Tan had a sworn brother when he was young, but that man devoted himself to the army and later died on the battlefield. Prime Minister Tan was heartbroken, so he took the imperial examination and became an official, and climbed to such a high position, just to avenge his sworn brother one day!"

Everyone in the Tan residence: “…” What the hell.

The person who broke the news earlier: “…”Is this…friendly forces?

Everyone's expression was as if struck by lightning, and their voices were difficult to speak: "It's fake...right?"

"Don't believe it?" The man snorted and laughed, "I have something even more powerful! Rumor has it that Prime Minister Tan's current legal wife is the elder sister of that brother's clan. The reason they got married was simply because Prime Minister Tan wanted to take good care of that brother's relatives!"

Everyone's expressions became even more confused.

The more the man spoke, the more excited he became: "Still don't believe it?"

"I have more!" He poured out his words like pouring beans, "Legend has it that Tan Xiang was an immortal from the mountains. He came to the human world to survive his love tribulation, but a sworn brother showed up halfway through, and they had such a lingering love story. Tan Xiang then gave up on himself and simply lived a carefree life in the human world—"

The man looked around with his big eyes, and when he saw that no one finally spoke up to refute him, he raised the corners of his lips in complacency.

——As long as the "explosive news" he said was ridiculous enough, everyone would subconsciously think that even the previous person's revelations were fabricated.
