After tearing up the script of the vicious female supporting role, I cleaned up the Xiangfu every da

"The Jiang family's second young lady has made a great contribution by capturing the criminal. I heard that the Imperial Preceptor is planning to personally ask the Emperor for a reward on her behalf. I wonder what kind of reward it will be."

"This news was from a long time ago. Didn't you hear that the Imperial Master has already announced that Second Miss Jiang doesn't deserve his reward?"

"What? Who spread the rumor? Many people have heard the Imperial Preceptor admit that he would give a reward to the Second Miss Jiang."

"What kind of rumor? This rumor originated from the Imperial Master's residence. The criminal has been apprehended for so long now. If the Imperial Master really wanted to ask for a reward, why would he wait until now? It's said that after visiting the Dali Temple to see the criminal who was accidentally killed, the Imperial Master said, 'Arrogant and selfish, using womanly tactics.'"

"What does this mean? Why don't I understand?"

"How can common people like us understand the words of the Grand Master? Anyway, I heard that someone once asked the Grand Master about the reward, but was told that he didn't deserve it."

……

Such remarks became more and more popular in the market, and naturally did not escape Pei Zhanzhou's ears.

He didn't even need to send anyone to investigate, he could guess who was behind it.

The only person in the world who would dare to use his name to set up a scheme is probably that audacious woman.

Pei Zhanzhou raised the corner of his mouth imperceptibly and turned a page of the book in his hand. "Go add fuel to the fire and spread the news faster."

Since she is his strategist, he must protect her and see how big she can make this plan.

After hearing his order, his men immediately went to do the work, but Pei Zhanzhou could not read the book in his hand for a moment.

He put down the book and asked someone to call Zhou Zhi in.

"Have you ever heard of any strange people or things in this world that can damage a person's internal organs in an instant without any external force, medicine, or internal energy?"

Zhou Zhi was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what he meant. "I have never heard of anyone with such ability."

Pei Zhanzhou was not surprised by this answer.

He was a well-read man and knew a lot about the underworld. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that anyone could have such ability.

Jiang Wansang had already reported the method he used to deal with Ye Xianglang in the Dali Temple. He had personally gone to see it and found that Ye Xianglang had extremely serious internal injuries, but he looked very strange.

Could it be that Jiang Wansang has some special abilities?

Pei Zhanzhou thought, "Send someone to the martial arts world to find out."

There are all kinds of people in the world, and there is no shortage of news about all kinds of strange people and things. Maybe you can find out something.

While Pei Zhanzhou sent people to intensify the rumors in the imperial city, Jiang Wansang took the doctor sent by Zhou Zhi and quietly slipped away to the second house.

She asked Pei Zhanzhou to help her find a doctor, because she wanted to find someone who was strict in his words, brave, and had good medical skills.

The doctor Zhou Zhi sent was very good. Although his hair and beard were gray, he was supported by her special powers and jumped up and down in the night without any fear of making any noise.

Even when Jiang Wansang brought him to Jiang Xiaodie's room and asked him to check Jiang Xiaodie's wound, he didn't ask any questions.

The doctor was very efficient and finished the examination quickly. He also carefully bandaged the wound to the shape you just saw.

"How is it? Is there anything wrong with her injury?" Jiang Wansang stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

The doctor pondered for a moment before responding in a low voice, "There is indeed a problem. This wound..."

All kinds of news spread quickly in the imperial city, and Jiang Zihan had of course heard the latest rumors.

But the way she heard all this was from Jiang Gaoyuan.

Because of the incident of "Miss Jiang II catching the criminal", Jiang Gaoyuan gained a lot of face among his colleagues, and even news came from the palace that the emperor had heard about it.

Jiang Gaoyuan had been an official for so many years, and he knew very well that if such a big thing were to reach the emperor's ears, he would definitely be rewarded.

But he didn't expect that before he could receive the award, he heard the news that "the Imperial Master said that the Second Miss Jiang was not worthy".

As the Prime Minister, he knew best how much the Emperor valued Master Pei. If Master Pei really said such words, let alone rewarding him, it would be a good thing if the Emperor did not implicate him.

So Jiang Gaoyuan came back from court and told Jiang Zihan about this. "...Didn't they say that the Imperial Preceptor treats you differently? Would he really say something like that to you?"

"Impossible!" Jiang Zihan denied it without even thinking.

Although she didn't understand what the phrase "arrogant, selfish, and womanly" meant, she felt that Master Pei would never treat her like that.

She was the only person that Pei Guoshi treated differently. She had even helped him at the Autumn Banquet before. How could she possibly say that she was not worthy of such words?

After a little thought, Jiang Zihan thought of another possibility, "Someone must be jealous of my achievements and deliberately slandering me."

Her face was filled with anger. "Dad, you must find out who is behind this. It's fine if they're targeting me, but if it tarnishes Dad's reputation, I will never let that person go!"

Hearing her last words, Jiang Gaoyuan's eyes flashed and he replied, "Don't worry, Dad will investigate this matter and won't let you suffer any injustice."

Although these were all rumors without any evidence, this matter could be a big deal or a small one if you really counted it, so of course he had to get to the bottom of it.

But Jiang Gaoyuan didn't expect that before he could find any clues, the officers and soldiers from the Dali Temple suddenly came to the Prime Minister's residence in a huge momentum.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we are here on the orders of the Dali Temple Minister to bring your Second Young Lady to the Dali Temple for questioning."

The leader had obviously been specifically instructed not to behave overly submissively in front of Prime Minister Jiang Gaoyuan, and even deliberately raised his voice.

"The Dali Temple has apprehended the real culprit in the missing women's case. He has confessed, and all the missing women have been found. So, we need Miss Jiang's cooperation in investigating the man she accidentally killed."

There were already quite a few people who had followed these officers and soldiers, and they all gathered at the gate of the Prime Minister's Residence. When the leading officer and soldier said these two sentences, everyone was shocked, and there was a burst of discussion among the crowd.

Jiang Gaoyuan's face was gloomy. Fortunately, he had many years of experience in forbearance as an official, so he did not lose his composure at this time.

Han'er had clearly apprehended the criminal and the case was about to be closed, so how did another criminal emerge? And the missing women were also found!

In just a moment, Jiang Gaoyuan figured out all the consequences of this matter.

If the criminal Han'er caught was fake, whether she accidentally killed someone or hired someone to act it out, it would have a significant impact on him as a father, and he might even be caught by his political enemies.

The officers and soldiers didn't care what he was thinking. They took out the document with the seal of the Dali Temple and entered the prime minister's residence.
