Farmer's Wife Has Space

Chapter 1165 The Regent Enters the Palace

Soon, the inside story about Zhao Jiaxing's murder spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.

Some people believed it to be true, and shed tears of sympathy when spreading the news.

"Have you heard? That Zhao Jiaxing was killed by a high official!"

"Just because Zhao Jiaxing is so talented, he may be ranked ahead of the children of the high official's family, and he will suffer misfortune. What kind of world is this?"

"Don't the children of the poor deserve talent?"

"Is it only the children of them who are high officials who have talents?"

"I heard that the high official is General Ouyang. I don't know if it's true?"

But there are also many people who don't believe it.

"I think what those people are saying is nonsense!"

"It must be someone with ulterior motives who sent people to spread rumors!"

"The one who killed Zhao Jiaxing must be this or that person!"

"He deliberately didn't say the name of that senior official, but alluded to General Ouyang, obviously out of intention to frame him."

When old general Ouyang heard the rumors, he was so angry that his heart ached. The whole general's mansion was in a bad mood.

But they have nothing to do for the time being.

If they responded to this kind of thing, they would explain it more and more complicated, because those people didn't name them.

But they have not responded, and they may be misunderstood by those people. They have ghosts.

These rumors inevitably spread to the palace.

The emperor frowned.

He must not believe that General Ouyang would do such a thing.

He felt that this matter should be done by those corrupt officials who were investigated by old general Ouyang.

Their purpose is to take revenge on General Ouyang, to take advantage of public opinion, to retaliate against the General's Palace, and to make General Ouyang automatically resign from the position of Regent.

He was worried that the Nanyue King and Nanyue Princess would think he did it.

He will set up a conspiracy thinking he wants to get rid of the regent.

Thinking so far, the emperor hurriedly summoned Nanyue King and Nanyue Princess into the palace.

But they were told that the Nanyue King and Nanyue Princess had gone out to handle the case. They learned the identity of the rumorer, and they went to hunt down the relevant people together.

As long as Nanyue Wang and his wife take action, there will be no case that cannot be solved.

But the emperor was not very happy, on the contrary, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Those people used the method of spreading rumors, but left clues, which shows that those people have another purpose.

They are very likely to blame this incident on a certain person.

This person is very likely to be him.

He didn't want the king of Nanyue and the concubine of Nanyue to misunderstand that he was sitting on the throne and that he was going to make trouble behind his back.

He really wanted to be a good emperor.

Thinking of this possibility, the emperor hastily sent someone to invite the regent to come in for a pilgrimage.

General Ouyang entered the palace.

The emperor met with the regent in the imperial study.

As soon as they met, they told him: "I also know about those rumors in the streets and alleys."

General Ouyang saluted the emperor: "Go back to the emperor! I am not afraid of evil shadows!"

The emperor nodded: "I believe in Aiqing."

"It's just those rumors. Can anyone find out who it came from?"

General Ouyang reported truthfully: "I don't know for now, but the identities and residences of those who spread the rumors have been found out. They have fled to the outskirts of the capital. The Nanyue King and Nanyue Princess have gone after them."

"When the Nanyue King and Nanyue Princess come back, we will know whose conspiracy it is."

General Ouyang has calmed down.

Before he entered the palace, he had already received a letter from Gu Zheng telling him not to worry, he and Lingzhi would figure out the whole thing.
