Chapter 568: The Power of Rumors
"Liar, big liar!" White Peony smashed things like crazy, smashing everything he could see and smash, and in the blink of an eye, the room was full of debris and a mess. Heaven's Voice'.'2.
White Peony has had a habit of smashing things when she gets angry.
After venting for a while, Bai Peony's mood slowly calmed down, and she sat down in her chair, her head down, and she gasped for breath.
At this time, a person walked in outside, and after a closer look, it was actually the city lord Bai Daqing.
"Peony, why are you so big on fire?" Bai Daqing glanced at the room, and his brows immediately furrowed: "For a man, is it worth such a big fire?"
"I really like him......"
"But people don't like you. ”
"That's why I'm on fire. ”
"The twisted melon is not sweet, since Goofy has no intention of you, you don't want to fall in love with him anymore, three-legged toads are not easy to find, two-legged men are everywhere, I will contact you another day with a few young talents, meet with them, chat, if there is anything you like, I will help you propose." ”
"Don't. Bai Peony shook his head: "I will never like men again in my life." ”
"Don't talk nonsense. Bai Daqing's face sank: "You are my daughter, I will definitely find you an excellent husband." Speaking of this, Bai Daqing added: "It must be stronger than Gao Fei!"
"I've driven Goofy away. Bai Peony said: "I also scolded him." ”
Bai Daqing sighed: "Anyway, Gao Fei saved my life, I owe him a great favor, you have kicked him out now, how can I face him in the future?"
"What? you still want to see him?" Bai Peony's eyes narrowed: "He rejected me, he just didn't take you seriously, you should give him a little color." ”
"Forget it. Bai Daqing shook his head: "Gao Fei saved my life, if I teach him a lesson, I will be laughed at by others, and I have no conscience and no morality." Bai Daqing still has a bit of a conscience, and he hasn't forgotten that Gao Fei saved his life.
"Do you care what other people think?" snorted White Peony.
"What are you talking about?" Bai Daqing was unhappy: "As long as you are a normal person, you don't want to be laughed at or calculated by you, and I am no exception." ”
"Dad......" Bai Peony just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Bai Daqing.
I saw Bai Daqing waving his hand impatiently: "That's it, I'll come to see you another day." After saying this, Bai Daqing turned around and left, people were angry, they wouldn't listen to anything, and they would talk about it after Bai Peony put down the fire and calmed down.
Originally, Bai Daqing admired Gao Fei very much, but now he has ...... Gao Fei's impression in Bai Daqing's heart will be much lower.
......
Goofy found an inn to stay at, and left Stormy City early the next morning.
A few days later, Goofy returned to his station.
"Your Excellency, you're back. ”
"If you don't come back, we're going to look for you. ”
Chen San and Liu Qing walked over from a distance.
"Things went a little bit wrong, so it took some time. Goofy said.
"What's the change?" Chen San hurriedly asked.
"Don't ask. Gao Fei shook his head: "I'm very tired now, I'm going to rest, don't bother me if there's nothing special." With that, Goofy strode away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Chen San bumped Liu Qing with his shoulder and whispered, "The adults look unhappy." ”
"Adults are good everywhere, but there is a little bit of badness, and they are used to hiding all the bad things in their hearts. Liu Qing said.
A few days later, Gao Fei heard a rumor about him, saying that he was bold and cheeky to pursue the city lord's daughter Bai Peony, but Bai Peony sternly refused, Gao Fei did not give up, pestered Bai Peony, and finally angered Bai Peony and drove Gao Fei out of the City Lord's Mansion.
This rumor spread quickly, and within a few days, everyone in the neighborhood knew about it.
"Bastard!" Gao Fei smashed a table and yelled angrily, "Who is it? Who is it behind the malicious slander of me! Check! Give me a hard investigation! I must find out who is behind the scenes!"
Chen San and Liu Qing glanced at each other, and the two saw a trace of doubt in each other's eyes.
In the end, Chen San had the courage to say, "My lord...... The content of the rumors...... Is it true......"
"Fake!" Gao Fei said through gritted teeth, "It's bullshit!"
"It's fake. Chen San breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll rest assured." It's not that Chen San suspects Gao Fei, it's that Gao Fei has been sullen and listless in the past few days, so Chen San is cranky.
"We're going to investigate! Get things to the bottom as soon as possible. Liu Qing pulled Chen San and left.
The efficiency of the two was still very high, and the matter was investigated clearly the next evening.
"My lord, the rumors are from ...... ...... from Troubled Wind City," Chen San said cautiously.
"Stormy City?" Goofy frowned, "Are you sure?"
"I grabbed a few people who were walking around the gossip, and after some torture, they all said that they heard the rumors from Troubled Wind City......"
"Windy City?" Goofy's brow furrowed tighter, "Do you know who made up the rumors?"
"Multiple clues all point to one place......"
"Where?"
"City Lord's Mansion. ”
“...... You mean, the rumors came from the City Lord's Mansion?"
“...... This is just a speculation, and it needs to be investigated and forensics...... It's just that...... It's a little difficult to collect evidence......" Chen San said with a wry smile, he was just a small commander, where was he qualified to investigate the City Lord's Mansion?
Goofy pondered for a moment: "Okay, you don't have to investigate anymore, go back and rest." ”
"Adult ......"
"Go back and rest, you've worked hard for the past two days. Goofy waved his hand: "Let me be alone for a while." ”
After Chen San and Liu Qing left, Gao Fei fell into deep thought.
The rumors came from the City Lord's Mansion...... Is it Bai Daqing, or is it White Peony? or are both of them involved?
What is their purpose in doing this, trying to tarnish my reputation?
That's a bit of a mistake!
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he pushed away his chair and stood up, walking back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and after thinking for a moment, Goofy gradually had an idea in his heart.
In the afternoon of the same day, Gao Fei asked people to go out and put up a notice to inform everyone that the rumors were fabricated and could not be believed.
At the same time, Gao Fei also sent people to arrest those who walked the rumors, caught one and dealt with one by one, and never tolerated it.
Under the suppression of Goofy, the rumors gradually stifled......
At this moment, a convoy entered Goofy's station, and there was a carriage that was very luxurious and magnificent, and there was a woman sitting in the car, a woman with a cold expression, she was the white peony.
After Gao Fei got the news, he hurriedly appeared to greet him: "Miss Bai, why are you here?"
Bai Peony sat in the carriage, stared at Gao Fei for a while, and then said lightly: "What's the matter, I'm not welcome?"
"Oh, no, no, no, how could it not be welcome. Gao Fei said with a smile: "It's my honor that Miss Bai can come to my station, but I don't know if Miss Bai is here for fun this time, or if she has business?"
