Even in many teahouses and taverns, there are storytellers telling stories of revenge of wronged souls.

Of course, he didn't dare to say directly that it was Xie Yun from the Xie Mansion, but only said that it was a high-ranking official of the previous dynasty.

In this way, even if the people in the Xie Mansion were angry, they could not report to the police and stop these storytellers from spreading rumors and slander.

Some storytellers even started telling the story of "The Strange Dream of Mandarin Ducks", making the event even more lively.

More and more people suspect that the unfaithful man in "Dream of the Red Chamber" is Xie Yun.

However, these were just rumors and did not shake Xie Yun's position in the officialdom.

However, his originally perfect image, like the gentle breeze and bright moon, completely collapsed among the people and his reputation was ruined.

If he cannot find a way to restore his image among the people, he will have no chance of becoming prime minister.

Just as everyone was talking about it, Xie Yun suddenly submitted a memorial to the palace.

When the memorial was handed to Emperor Taihe, he became furious and immediately sent people to carry Xie Yun into the palace.

Not long afterward, a group of Black Qilin Guards rushed out of the capital on horseback like tigers out of a cage.

The people were so frightened that they kept silent, not knowing where these Black Kirin Guards were going to capture people next.

The people Luo Zheng left behind passed the message to Xie Xiu.

Only then did he realize that Xie Yun had actually reported a shocking case!

Xie Yun's memorial this time was about a blood letter he had recently received from his classmate, in which he learned about a major case involving the occupation of civilian land, bullying of men and women, plundering, and reselling of government grain.

He did not dare to hide it, so he immediately wrote a letter to Emperor Taihe, requesting to find out the truth.

Emperor Taihe was naturally furious after reading it, so he immediately sent the Black Kirin Guards to investigate.

The other party did not reveal too many details, but only reminded Xie Xiu to be careful and suspend the siege of Xie Yun.

Xie Xiu did not refuse.

He did not doubt Xie Yun's ability. He believed that since the other party dared to write the letter, he must have been absolutely sure of his safety. The Black Qilin Guards would definitely find out the evidence when they went to investigate this time.

At that time, Xie Yun, as the person who wrote the letter to report the crime, will surely gain a good reputation.

If we continue to spread rumors and attack Xie Yun now, when the news of this major case spreads, the backlash of public opinion will become even more fierce.

Once misled by someone with ulterior motives, the people might even think that the current rumors against Xie Yun are all attacks on Xie Yun by corrupt officials.

Xie Xiu immediately ordered people to stop spreading the rumors.

However, he soon discovered that although their people had stopped their actions, there were still people in the capital who were deliberately spreading rumors against Xie Yun, and these rumors were becoming more and more exaggerated and ridiculous.

As soon as I heard it, I knew someone was deliberately smearing me.

Xie Xiu couldn't help but admire the other party's methods.

This is because they know that it is difficult to gain people's trust by directly denying it, so they deliberately do the opposite and spread these exaggerated and ridiculous rumors.

At that time, the more exaggerated the rumors are, the more suspicious people will be, and they will guess that someone is deliberately targeting Xie Yun, and then they will no longer believe any negative rumors about Xie Yun.

Fortunately, he did not have no way to deal with it.

Xie Xiu raised his lips in a mocking tone and whispered to the man, "You are..."

When he returned home, everything seemed fine, but Tu Jiaojiao, who had been with him for many years, still noticed something was wrong.

Tu Jiaojiao looked at him worriedly. When no one was around, she immediately asked in a low voice, "Did something happen? Did you encounter any trouble outside?"

Xie Xiu had no choice but to tell the story, and finally sighed: "Although I know that it is impossible to completely defeat him with just stories and rumors, I am still a little annoyed that he can come up with a solution so quickly."

Tu Jiaojiao was puzzled: "But...how could it be such a coincidence? When everyone was scolding him, he suddenly received a blood letter from the same year?"

Xie Xiu couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

The so-called classmates refer to those who took the imperial examination in the same year as Xie Yun and were on the same list.

Because they are on the same list, these people will inevitably develop some personal relationships and even keep in touch many years later.
