Wanwan is not Wanwan: Who will spoil you after you are reborn?

Chapter 242 Someone Has to Take the Blame

After Shen Wanwan came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she first went to the clothing store to buy a few sets of men's clothes, and also bought a lot of food to store in the space, and then returned to Xie Mansion.

The next day.

The news about Prince Pingnan and Fu Yun colluding to force Miss Pei to confess was still at the top of the hot discussion list, and suddenly there was an even more explosive news -

Prince Rui and the imperial concubine's party raised private soldiers. Prince Rui claimed to be sick and could not leave the house, but he was actually in the private barracks to urgently transfer his private soldiers. After receiving the news, the God of War Prince Qin went to deal with it as soon as possible.

Once the rumor about Prince Rui raising private soldiers broke out, it instantly became the focus of attention of the people in Shangjing City and the court. Not many people paid attention to whether Miss Pei had kidnapped the prince of Prince Pingnan's Mansion, and no one cared whether she was tortured into confessing.

This was the remedy Shen Wanwan came up with. If a rumor wanted to fade from people's sight, either the person involved would take the initiative to clarify it, or a bigger rumor would be used to cover up the previous rumor.

They both felt that the proactive clarification approach was not advisable. Not only would it be troublesome and cause trouble, but more importantly, they would be made into monkeys in front of the entire Shangjing City. Who would be happy with that?

The two of them tacitly chose the second method.

People's attention has shifted to new hot spots, and they will naturally forget the old news. It is certainly better to have hot and fresh food to eat than to eat rehashed old food.

The same is true of people's gossipy nature.

However, to use a new hotspot to divert everyone's attention, the hotspot must be heavy enough, otherwise it is equivalent to nothing.

The news that Prince Rui had raised private soldiers was undoubtedly the most hotly discussed news in the city. The weight of this news was enough to deflect attention from the fact that Miss Pei had been tortured into confessing ten times.

However, the method of exposing this matter must be done in secret, otherwise if it is not handled properly, it may easily bring fatal disaster to those beggar brothers.

The fact that the Rui Wang Party was able to raise private soldiers, and the private army camp was not far from Shangjing City, clearly showed that they were ready to attack Shangjing City and force the emperor to abdicate at any time.

If they found out that it was the beggar who first spread the news, the entire Shangjing City would probably be a river of blood.

Someone has to take the blame for this.

Shen Wanwan had already decided who would take the blame, and it had to be the Marquis of Cheng'en's Mansion.

However, before today's incident, she had not figured out how to pass this big pot over. Unexpectedly, Chen Yuanfang handed her a ladder so quickly. She could just go down the ladder without having to climb the pole.

After the news of Prince Rui and the imperial concubine raising private soldiers fermented for a day, new news came out the next morning from nowhere and quickly spread among the people in the capital.

It was even written into a story and told vividly by storytellers in teahouses.

Then, organizations including Yiwenfang began to print and distribute big-character posters: The concubine of Marquis Cheng'en's mansion, for the sake of justice, reported that Marquis Cheng'en was involved in treason!

For a time, it shocked the government and the public.

The officials of Prince Rui and the Imperial Concubine's faction were terrified, fearing that their lives would be in danger at any time.

The forces of other parties took the opportunity to add insult to injury. Such a good opportunity could not be missed, and they had to completely defeat the party of Prince Rui and Concubine.

The neutral faction, or the royalist party, naturally suggested that the emperor order a thorough investigation of the matter and send someone to protect Chen Yuanfang. Before the matter was thoroughly investigated, the person who reported the incident must not be harmed.

Faced with the sudden situation, Emperor Tianchen seemed very angry, but in fact he was very happy in his heart.
