Chapter 106 Rumors
It's already mid-September, and the weather in Bei is still extremely hot. The sun hangs high above the head, and the sun shines on the body warmly.

Perhaps because the Four Kingdoms Banquet is just around the corner, today's imperial city is extremely lively, the streets and alleys are crowded with people, and businessmen come and go in an endless stream.

Jiang Yu came to Yipin Building with prisoners and resignation.

"Among the three guest officers, please."

The enthusiastic Xiao Er hurriedly led the way for Jiang Wei and the others.

The first-class building was full of people, and the storyteller was narrating vividly in the main hall.

"It was too late to say it, but it was too soon. At this critical moment, a hero descended from the sky. He held a sharp long sword. He repelled the gangster with three or two strokes and saved the princess."

"Good good!"

There were bursts of cheers from the people around, and someone asked in a low voice.

"Is this black market so rampant? Even royal princesses dare to abduct and sell?"

The big man next to him lowered his voice and whispered in that man's ear.

"You don't know, do you? I heard that the girls who disappeared in the imperial city in the past few years are all related to the black market!"

The man was shocked.

"No way, are the rumors these days true?"

The big man looked around to confirm that no one had heard their conversation before discussing cautiously.

"I heard that the reason why the black market is so rampant is because there are people on it?"

The big man quietly pointed to the sky above his head with his thumb, hinting.

Who else can be on top of poor people like them, they are all those imperial nobles and descendants of aristocratic families.

That person was probably a scholar, and he was filled with righteous indignation.

He took the case.

"It's unreasonable! The reason why a country is a country is because of its people. They are so careless, my Bei country will fall sooner or later!"

The big man next to him was so frightened that he immediately held the man's mouth, and smiled at the surprised eyes looking around.

"Sorry, my friend drank too much and made you laugh."

While apologizing, the big man told the scholar to press down.

He lowered his voice.

"Are you crazy? Dare to say anything!"

The scholar also knew that he was reckless, but there was a fire in his heart, and he couldn't vent it, it was stuck in his heart and he couldn't breathe.

He shook off the big man's hand, put his hands on the big man's shoulders, and looked at him seriously.

"We can't let those aristocratic families do this! We have to do something! Let's go to the Holy Majesty and file a complaint!"

The scholar seemed to have thought of a brilliant idea, shaking the big man's shoulders excitedly.

The big man waved his hand away with a sneer, and stuffed a mouthful of vegetables into his mouth.

"What are you doing? Huh!" His tone was a little mocking.

"We are just ordinary people, Brother Li, you don't think that you can change anything just because you barely got a Jinshi in six years."

The big man unceremoniously smashed the unrealistic and passionate fantasy of the scholar.

"In those aristocratic families, pinching you to death is as easy as pinching an ant to death, and no one will even know where you died. Sue the imperial court, don't even think about it."

The scholar sat on the chair in frustration, and he scratched his head decadently, still a little unwilling to give up.

"But Brother Wang, can you really watch those innocent girls being trafficked in the black market to an unknown mountain village to be their child brides-in-law?!"

When the scholar thought of the rumors he heard these days, he felt angry.

The big man looked at the manic appearance of the scholar, and there was a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Wealth depends on the sky, so they can only resign themselves to their fate."

Jiang Yu listened to their conversation calmly, without any change in expression.

The prisoner silently stood by Jiang Yu's side, and said respectfully.

"My son, those things have been done, and the evidence you want, my subordinates have already prepared everything."

The prisoner picked up a stack of letters, and Jiang Yu casually opened them for a few glances. Seeing the roster on it, his eyes were filled with coolness.

She tapped her fingers on the table, with a calm expression on her face, no emotion could be seen.

"The Lin family? Is that the Minister of the Household Department?"

The prisoner bowed his head and replied respectfully.

"Yes."

Jiang Yu knocked on the table with one hand, propped his head on the other hand, and listened to the wonderful performance of the storyteller.

In the past few days, rumors have spread in the imperial city, and I don't know where it came from. There are rumors that women and children are trafficked in the black market, and the missing girls in the imperial city have been trafficked to remote mountain villages by the black market.

There are rumors that the imperial family is behind the black market.

There are also rumors that the widow of the Song family stole someone, and rumors that the Jiang family's secret book of longevity has reappeared seven years ago, etc.

For a while, rumors spread everywhere in the imperial city, and everyone couldn't tell which ones were true and which ones were false. Even what the storyteller in the teahouse and tavern said in the past few days was related to the rumors in the imperial city.

Those old women in the market discussed it in meetings if they had something to do. After a while, even the children playing on the street knew about it.

Rumors spread very quickly, and by the time the government reacted and wanted to control it, it was already too late.

Jiang Yu was bored listening to the people around him whispering about rumors.

She got up and reached out to the resignation seat next to her.

Resignation looked at the young master in a daze.

"what?"

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows, "Silver."

The resigner hurriedly handed the money bag to Jiang Yu's hand, Jiang Yu weighed it in his hand a few times, and threw it to Xiao Er who was beside him.

The little second-hand took it in a hurry, opened the purse, took a look, and took a deep breath.

"Guest officer, this is too much money."

Xiao Er was a little at a loss holding the purse.

Jiang Yu laughed.

"Today's storyteller did a good job, and most of them are for that gentleman."

Xiao Er bent down and thanked him repeatedly.

Jiang Yu flicked his sleeves.

"It's time to go back to the house after calculating the time, and the person who should come is coming to the house soon."

Resignation looked at Jiang Yu blankly, she scratched her head and couldn't understand what her young master said.

people?
Has the Yibeihou Mansion received any greetings today?

Jiang Yu smiled but didn't answer, he didn't know what he thought of, his eyes darkened.

Come to think of it, there is still a small bug in the house that hasn't been cleaned up.

But don't worry, it's still useful to keep her.

Just as Jiang Yu was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of noise coming from the neighboring table.

She followed the reputation.

"Hey, who should I be, isn't this the eldest lady of the Qiu family? Is this the famous sick beauty in the imperial city?"

A well-dressed dude viciously put his foot on the chair next to Qiu Yao.

He approached Qiu Yao ambiguously, provoking her greedy sniff of a wisp of beautiful hair in his nose.

Qiu Yao stood up slightly, and bowed to the man to salute.

"I've seen Mr. Lin."

She was neither humble nor overbearing, nor did she get angry because of the man's frivolous behavior.

Seeing this, the man sat down opposite her bored.

"Miss Qiu, why don't you recuperate well at the mansion and come out? Could it be that His Royal Highness Chen Wang looks down on you and came out to find a husband's family?"

After he finished speaking, the guard behind him burst into laughter.

The maid next to Qiu Yao was annoyed, and she tried to protect her young lady.
