Chapter 592 Rumors

Han Zhuang took a few steps and then turned back to ask, "Has the master's letter to Madam arrived yet?"

"You little..." Luo Qisheng didn't know what to say. "No, it hasn't arrived yet. It will be here in a day or two. When it arrives, someone will be sent to deliver it to you. Tell Madam not to worry, everything is going smoothly on the master's side."

"Alright." Han Zhuang wanted to hear this, at least to know some news. Otherwise, when he returned and Madam asked, he would be able to answer.

Han Zhuang then left.

Meanwhile, at the city gate.

The Tang couple wore white mourning clothes, and the villagers all wore mourning attire.

Pushing Tang Bao's body, with Huo An suppressing the culprit, they entered the county.

The county was bustling at the moment, with many commoners present.

Seeing this scene, curious onlookers began to inquire about what had happened.

Soon, news began to spread.

It was said that a servant who had previously worked for the Wang family had hidden in the village school and killed a student.

The student, who was supposed to be given to the Wang family's third young master as a concubine, had refused and escaped, leading to trouble. It was said that she had slapped the third young master's face, causing the unfortunate incident.

After these rumors spread, there were also rumors refuting them, claiming that the incident had nothing to do with the Wang family and that the servant had acted on his own to curry favor with the third young master.

These two rumors spread one after the other, and within a quarter of an hour, the entire city's populace knew about them.

The rumors caused a stir.

By the time the Wang family's master learned about the rumors in the county, it was an hour later.

"Boom!" A vase shattered on the ground, and the middle-aged Wang master's anger was visible in his eyes. "What's going on? How come I'm only hearing about this now!"

"Master, I've been looking for you all this time but you said not to disturb you, so it took some time." the steward explained cautiously.

Upon hearing this, the Wang master thought of the business he had lost and how he had been outsmarted. His pent-up anger couldn't be vented, so he vented his frustration on the steward with a flurry of punches and kicks, causing him to grovel on the ground, pleading for mercy.

"What's the situation now?" The Wang master took a deep breath and asked harshly.

The steward quickly explained the situation.

"Useless!"

"Find out who spread this rumor, and take care of Zhang San from the county yamen. Make sure he doesn't live to see tonight." the Wang master's head throbbed with anger. He instantly realized that someone was deliberately plotting against them.

If it weren't for the subsequent deliberate explanations, spreading the rumors again would have certainly turned the tide in their favor. But now, the people were increasingly suspicious of the Wang family. People were always like this, the more one tried to cover up, the more suspicious they became.

For now, they could only dispel these rumors.

"What about that woman named Tang Rou? Is she still in Miss San's courtyard?" The Wang master narrowed his eyes and asked.

The steward nodded hastily. "Yes, she is. It was her idea to kill Tang Bao."

"Since this woman has caused us so much trouble, send her to Master Lin's bed. In the afternoon, let Master Lin take her to the county for a stroll, and say she has long been Master Lin's concubine."

"Also, send one hundred taels of silver to the Tang family as condolence." The Wang master narrowed his eyes confidently. With this plan in place, the rumors would naturally die down. Once Zhang San died in prison, the case would be closed.
