Chapter 337: Talkative
However, there were only a few days left until the date of the agreement with Xie Qiao…
Those people were all captured, and there were no rumors about Xie Qiao in the city at that moment. Thus, even if Xie Qiao was injured, as long as she recovered, she would still be able to appear in front of people!
“Find a few people and spread rumors. Say that Young Lady Xie was humiliated outside the city and was fortunate to be saved by the Crown Prince. That’s how she managed to survive!” Xia Yayun gritted her teeth and said ruthlessly.
“Eldest Young Lady, the Crown Prince is involved in this matter. We shouldn’t continue. Otherwise, what if His Highness finds out?” The maidservant beside her said quickly.
Xia Yayun sneered.
“What are you afraid of? The Crown Prince only cares about catching the hooligans. Who cares about the lady’s innocence? Just tell them to be careful.”
She was worried that the Crown Prince would find out that she was involved with Boss Yang and the rest.
Now that Boss Yang and Yuan Rong were both dead, those hooligans’ crimes had nothing to do with her.
As for the rumors in the city…
Ha, which day in the capital would there not be some rumors? The Crown Prince was busy, so why would he care?
She wanted to humiliate Xie Qiao, making her ashamed to see people. Only then would she understand how scared Sister Dong would be when she was almost bullied by Xie Pinggang!
Xia Yayun immediately sent people to do it.
However, just as the people on this side started to move, Zhou Weizong and his men caught them.
They brought them to the Crown Prince.
“Your Highness, what you said is indeed correct. I had a few people guard the nearby teahouses and the busy city. Indeed, I caught some gossipers. One by one, I took them all out,” Zhou Weizong said proudly.
Boss Yang was dead. There were so many people under his command.
It was easy to find out that these people wanted to ruin Young Lady Xie’s reputation!
Now that they failed, they had to think of something else, right?
However, he did not think that this person was so foolish that she could not wait for a day. He thought that he would have to get his brothers investigate for a few more days to get a result!
At that moment, the people who were caught were also scared, “We also heard from o-others…”
“Don’t play dumb with us. You guys are famous for being talkative in the city. You guys can earn a lot of money with this ability, right?” Zhou Weizong smirked, “If you honestly give up the person who bribed you, you’d suffer less. Otherwise, in the future, you won’t be able to do this job and you won’t be able to keep your tongue.”
As soon as these words were said, the men and women below could not help but shiver.
They all buried their heads.
As far as their eyes could see, they could only see a nobleman sitting nearby. He was dressed in black, and the corner of his clothes had the pattern of an apricot-yellow cloud-patterned qilin beast. He must be either rich or a nobleman.
Everyone thought they were in big trouble.
They loved to socialize the most. There was no one on the dozens of streets that they did not recognize!
As they loved gossipping, no one knew where it started. Someone would always find them and give them some silver and copper coins to gossip to the outside world. As long as those gossips reached the ears of the maids, women, and servants who came out from the rich families to shop, they would be considered to have completed the task.
It was just a matter of talking. Naturally, they had to earn money.
However, today…
It was really a bad start. They had just opened their mouths and they were caught!
These people had not seen much of the world. They were all commoners. When they heard those words, they were so scared that they prostrated on the ground, “We don’t recognize them either. We only work for the silver…”
Another person nervously wiped his sweat, then, he said softly, “I-I know, I know. The person who looked for me is… he used to be an errand boy for a big family. I saw him talking to a maidservant before. I heard that the maid servant’s master is an official… With the surname… Xia!”
