Chapter 1143: Find the person who spread the rumor
Gui Ge'er and Nanny Wang scolded Sun Shan and asked him to teach these people a lesson.
Sun Shan gritted his teeth when he heard this and said that it was fine if he was the only one involved, but why did he involve Yun Jie'er and Xiao Feimei?
What's more, in this world, saying something like that is a big taboo. As an official, how could he let people say that so easily?
Butler Wang, Sun Dingnan, and Big-Headed Dog and his gang rushed in.
Nanny Wang was so impatient that everyone thought something big had happened.
In other words, Master Zhang and the Xia couple went to buy some items for ancestor worship, so they were not in the yamen.
Butler Wang asked anxiously, "What happened?"
The old woman rushed to the backyard, causing everyone to rush in as well, thinking that something big had happened.
Nanny Wang once again recounted the whole story, gritting her teeth and saying, "Tell me, who spread the rumor that our master, and also our mistress and young lady, said this?"
It’s fine to talk about the master, but how do you know that the mistress and the young lady are both slightly plump if you haven’t seen them?
Where on earth were these people getting the information?
The source must be found out and severely punished. This kind of gossipy woman should have her tongue pulled out.
Nanny Wang was so angry that she didn't bother to use brutal torture.
When Butler Wang heard this, he also said angrily, "That's right. Which bastard slandered the master, the mistress, and the young lady like this must be caught and severely beaten."
Whether the master likes strong women or not, Lord Wang doesn’t know, but the mistress and the young lady are just a little plump, so how can they be associated with “fat teacher”?
These people's tongues must be pulled out so that they will be unable to speak in the future.
Sun Dingnan said in surprise: "We haven't done anything recently, how could such rumors spread without reason? What is the purpose?"
Sun Dingnan couldn't help but think of conspiracy theories.
Could it be that they wanted to ruin the master's reputation and make it difficult for him to be an official? Could it be that the enemy who had been lurking for a long time finally made a move and wanted to attack the master?
But such rumors sound like just gossip and tidbits at best, and have nothing to do with how the master serves as an official, and their influence is minimal.
What do these people want to do?
Could it be that some irrelevant rumors came first and then gradually became bigger rumors?
Destroying their master's reputation bit by bit?
It's not impossible, it's very possible. Just like a person, as long as there are enough rumors about him, no matter what the original truth is, it will eventually destroy this person.
When the master first came to Yuanlu to serve as an official, he worked diligently and did not dare to offend any party, so everything was safe and sound.
Perhaps these people saw that the master was weak and could be bullied, so they bullied him to intimidate him.
Sun Dingnan had recently read a few books about officialdom, and the more he thought about it, the more his thoughts became wilder and the more he turned toward conspiracy theories.
Sun Dingnan said nervously, "Master, is it that the gentry from all over Yuanlu are trying to make up rumors about you, so that you can become the topic of conversation among the people, and become the laughing stock of the people.
My Lord, these people didn't know you at first, so they kept a low profile and lived in peace with you. But now, after getting along with you for more than half a year, they think you are too easy to talk to, so they take the initiative and attack you.
Master, you must be careful. Being an official is more difficult than taking the imperial examination. Being an official is like walking on a tightrope. If you fall off, you will fall into the abyss. We must fight back and pin these people down. "
After Sun Dingnan said this, the people in Sunjia Village also started to believe in conspiracy theories.
This was not only a joke to the master, but also the first attack on him.
After the first time, there will be a second time, and then a third time. They attack again and again, and one day they will kill the master.
The big-headed dog shook his bob hair in fear and said in horror: "Master, what should I do?"
The NPC Big Head Dog only knows how to ask what to do. He will never be able to come up with a solution if you ask him to.
Seeing how anxious everyone was, Sun Shan said soothingly, "Don't be afraid, let's get to the bottom of this first.
Even if someone really wants to deal with me, humph, am I so easy to deal with? You don’t have to believe in yourself, but you have to believe in me! I am a high school graduate at a young age, and I am very smart. These tricks are nothing in front of me. They are not worth mentioning. "
Everyone was immediately comforted by Sun Shan's powerful words of consolation.
Nanny Wang slapped her head and quickly admitted her mistake, saying, "Master is right. Master is so smart that he would have seen through all the conspiracies and tricks long ago. Alas, I am old and confused, so I panicked and was not calm at all. I have to learn a lot from Master in the future."
NPC Big Head Dog echoed: "Mammy, I want to learn from the master. Working around smart people can make a stupid person smart. It's like being around a red person makes a red person. As long as I stay around the master every day, I will be as smart as the master one day."
Steward Wang stepped forward and said, "Master, let's investigate this matter secretly and see where the source is. Once we figure out the source, it will be easier for us to handle it."
As for how to investigate, only Nanny Wang can take action.
In Yuanlu County, she has the most local friends. She often gossips with the vegetable sellers and has long been integrated into Yuanlu.
Lian Yuanlu's authentic cuisine can also be cooked, so it would be most appropriate to let her quietly find out the information.
Butler Wang wanted to find out for himself.
Firstly, there was a problem with language communication. Secondly, due to his injury, he became the most homely one. He didn't have any local people to interact with, so he had no way to get information from them.
Butler Wang secretly made up his mind to learn Yuanlu dialect as soon as possible, to interact with local people like Nanny Wang, to keep spies for the master and to be the first to know when something happened.
Sun Shan agreed and said, "Everyone, please be patient. These rumors are not groundless. As long as you are willing, you will be able to find out the truth. We should take our time and deal with it calmly. The most important thing now is to keep everything normal and not let outsiders see our panic."
After a pause, he continued, "Well, today is Mid-Autumn Festival, let's continue to celebrate the festival and be happy. Don't let those who are secretly observing us see that we are unusual. Remember, everything is like this."
Mount Tai collapses in front but its color remains unchanged; the elk thrives on the left but its eyes cannot blink.
Those who do great things must continue to dance and run as usual when great events come, and must not let others notice anything unusual.
After hearing what Sun Shan said, everyone was still worried, but they just did whatever the master said. They were confused and had to listen to the master who had a sharp mind.
So Nanny Wang took the big-headed dog back to the kitchen to work, and Butler Wang continued to decorate the yard to enjoy the moon tonight.
Gui Ge'er and Sun Dingnan led a few Sun family guards who stayed behind and were busy running around.
Sun Shan sat quietly in the backyard, reading a book.
But the hand holding the book tightly betrayed his emotions. Sun Shan's face did not show any emotion, but he was furious.
I swore to catch the person who spread the rumor. I couldn't vent my anger unless I gave him a few beatings.
