Chapter 70 Spreading Rumors

Although Gou Tu didn't know what Dan'er meant, he got Dan'er's clear instruction and thought it was extremely easy. Isn't it just going out to spread a few rumors? It was too small, so he sorted out his clothes and walked to the largest market in Jiankang City. When he saw Wang Er, who was selling cabbage, was washing vegetables, and shouted mysteriously: "Wang Er, come here."

"Brother Dog, is there anything wrong?" Wang Er put down the cabbage in his hand and walked over.

"Wang Er, how are the business going to be good recently?" Gou Tu said.

"Oh..." Wang Er sighed: "There are endless taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Recently, a city appearance picket team has emerged from somewhere. The captain Wei Teng is extremely vicious and collects urban appearance maintenance fees everywhere. If you don't follow suit, you will be smashed and robbed. The life of vegetable farmers is so sad!"

"I'm not the same. My dog ​​meat was just an inch away from the threshold and was confiscated by the bandits. How can we poor people in the world be able to make a few small money to marry a woman!"

The two of them hated the city appearance picket team more than Xie Daner hated Cheng Guan. After symbolically complaining, Dog Tu looked around and saw that there was no one nearby, whispered: "Damn, all these are still forgotten. What's even more annoying is that I received some fake silver a few days ago, and it was full of iron hollow inside. I only had a layer of silver clothes on the outside. I wonder if you received it?"

"What? There is fake silver in Jiankang City. Oh my god, it's so scary." Wang Er was extremely shocked. If such a hawker encountered counterfeit money without conscience, the losses would be great.

"Speak softly, don't be heard. It is said that it was from the Langya Palace. Do we servants dare to fight against Langya?" Gou Tu pretended to be mysterious and sold the Langya King.

Wang Er stuck out his tongue and said indignantly: "I don't care who he is. I have to go back and check it out. I have worked hard for a year. If I get fake silver, wouldn't it be in vain?" Wang Er ran away, telling others about this terrifying news.

Gou Tu found some friends and spread the same news. Vegetable markets are the place where rumors spread the fastest since ancient times. Gou Tu went to the market and said it everywhere. For a moment, news of fake silver spread in Jiankang City. Everyone knew about such rumors. In less than an hour, such news quickly spread to the merchants participating in the commodity exhibitions of Langya Palace.

Xie Dan'er had a leisurely breakfast and then slowly walked towards the second hall of the insects. He had to first find out whether Xiaoxiao was safe last night. As for the fake silver of King Langya, as long as the dog slaughter spread the news, how smart the merchants were, they would definitely be more careful when settlement today. As long as all merchants knew that King Langya had fake silver, King Langya's conspiracy would not succeed. Perhaps he would not dare to use fake silver to deceive merchants all over the world, because once this matter was exposed to the emperor, he would be charged with rioting financial order.

He knew that rumors were the best weapon of murder. Throughout history, I don’t know how many emperors were keen on such political games, and how many civil and military officials died under rumors. What he spread today was not rumors, but a real thing, just a conspiracy that made it public to the world in advance. He felt that he had done a great thing for the merchants in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

He walked to the entrance of the Second Insect House with a full face. The idiot Honghong was leaning against the door and basking in the sun lazyly. Seeing Dan'er coming to visit the brothel so early, he swung the pink handkerchief in his hand, twisted his waist and greeted him, put one hand on Dan'er's shoulder, and touched his handsome face. Yin smiled and said, "Oh, Mr. Xie has come to find the courtesan so early? The courtesan told the madam that it would be better to go to the little girl's room to be ecstatic. How about it?"

"Sister Hong, don't misunderstand it. I'm just passing by. I'm not suitable for you!" Dan'er felt a terrifying feeling. She had never been teased like this by a woman. It really made him have a primitive urge to fight her. However, looking at Honghong's face that looked like a car accident scene, he felt a little nauseous. He almost vomited the breakfast I had just eaten. He dared not fight, so he quickly ran away.

"Hey, Mr. Xie, don't you really want to try the little girl's kung fu? I think we are a good match for both of us!" Honghong chased after him for two steps but didn't catch up with him, and spat behind him.

Dan'er finally breathed a sigh of relief. From her words, she guessed that Xiaoxiao was safe now. At least the soldiers in the royal palace hid in the Second Hall of the Insects before they suspected the assassin.

He felt that what he should have done was done, and now he had to wait until the afternoon to settle the settlement. When the silver was received, he would go back to transport a batch of goods to come. After making enough money, he would go to redeem Xiaoxiao and leave the place where the brothel was right and wrong.

At noon, rumors in the market finally reached the Langya Prince's Mansion, and a sense of panic began to spread among the merchants.

Zhou Fude was respected and was the shopkeeper of Jufu Village. He was knowledgeable and could not help it. He put down his work and surrounded him and said, "Shopkeeper Zhou, I heard that fake silver has appeared in Jiankang City recently, and it was leaked from the Langya Palace. We must be more careful in settlement today and cannot throw a truck of goods on fake silver in vain!"

"That's right, no wonder the royal palace needs to settle the settlement in a unified way. It turns out that they are actually using such an abacus. The King of Langya is extremely vicious!"

"I have never guessed the real purpose of the prince holding this kind of product exhibition. So that's it! I'm so naive and actually believed his words, hahahaha... Let's go to Langya King to ask for an explanation!"

"Let's go find the King of Langya..."

“…”

Everyone said and said something. Some merchants were already excited and shouting loudly, which caused panic. At this moment, Xie Dan'er came over and added fuel to the fire: "Brothers, do you all know such sad news? My mother! For this commodity exhibition, I spent thousands of miles and broke the bankruptcy to exchange this car of goods. I originally wanted to make some money from this cargo and get a wife and get a family. I didn't expect that I would lose all of them here. Is there any kingly law in the world..."

He was so sad that he spoke in tears, which made the merchants feel empathetic and responded one after another, and the scene was out of control for a while.

Zhou Fu is worthy of being a business tycoon. He has never seen any kind of storm. He raised his hands high and tried to calm the crowd. Then he stood on the high platform and shouted to everyone: "Don't panic, don't panic. Now it's just a rumor. We have no evidence. We must not blame King Langya. In fact, as long as we have more thoughtfulness during the afternoon settlement, we can verify the authenticity of the silver on the spot. I believe King Langya will not be so blatant to the merchants in the world!"

After hearing Uncle Fu's words, everyone felt very reasonable. They could only deal with it in this way, and gradually became quiet.

Seeing that Dan'er ended so soon, she felt angry when she remembered the sword on her little arm. She cursed secretly and started to cheer again: "The King of Langya has been planning for a long time, so how could he easily return our real money? Brothers, are you still setting up a stall? Hold it away quickly, it is a little bit to avoid a little loss..."

"Bang..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a crisp sound was heard, followed by a sharp voice: "5721, you dare to speak in a witchy way, bewitch people's hearts, insult my father's innocence, and disrupt the commodity exhibition. Let's see how I deal with you!"
