C2270 Rumor Spread (2/2)

In front of his eyes was a fog, even more dense than London's largest fog. He only knew that his master was hiding somewhere within the fog, and was currently sharpening his blade, not knowing where to attack.

Fear, only deep fear. It was as if he knew there was a ghost in the mist and would attack him at any moment, yet he didn't know where the ghost was and what kind of method it would use to attack him.

”Go …” Let's go! From the looks of it, Master definitely has his own plans and will not meet us … ”

”Master …” ”Sob, sob, sob …” Er Mao had already knelt for more than two hours, he had no other choice but to allow Tongzhi to drag him towards the carriage.

Behind a window on the second floor of the Eastern Palace Clan, Xiao Letian, who was hidden in a corner, looked at Hairy # 2 apologetically. ”Sorry, Hairy # 2, I absolutely cannot show myself now. Even if you kneel for three days and three nights, I won't see you …”

That evening, the newspapers in London began to publish all sorts of bizarre news about Figaro. Of course, the British media naturally did not speak any nonsense about house arrest. The fact that they knew about it was nothing more than a little more jokes and gossip.

Benjamin did not think much of this matter. After all, the Londoner had seen a lot of scenes and even the newspapers on the day of Xiao Letian's humiliation had seen it.

The rumors stopped with the wise, Benjamin thought so.

However, he never expected that after the second day, the situation would become very strange. Following the first shot from the Figaro newspaper, the London newspaper began to replay the story. The result was that from the second day, this story would quickly be reprinted on a large scale in Europe.

Portugal, Spain, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden … Almost all the European media outlets forwarded the news of Xiao Letian being placed under house arrest.

Since ancient times, journalists had always liked big news, and seeking for new information was their standard of conduct. It was common for dogs to bite people or dogs; they just didn't care if Figaro's report was real or not.

All of a sudden, there was an uproar in Europe and everyone was so shocked that their jaws dropped. ”Oh my god!” Are the English crazy? Imprisoning a prime minister? or on a normal diplomatic visit? ”

”It's fake, right? Even if Benjamin had a pig's head, he wouldn't do such a stupid thing, would he?

”No mistake, the photos are already out. Look at how many British soldiers are surrounding the East Palace and all the Chinese people inside the sandbags, what does that mean? ”It means that both sides are in a stalemate. The British must be trying to coerce the Chinese to do something, and the Chinese didn't agree to it so they used force to threaten us!”

”That's right, that's right! With Englishman's tyrannical personality, she can do it!”

This time, the situation would escalate. In those days, there were no telephones, television, or the internet. People could only rely on backward, slow letters to communicate information.

In addition to the low level of public education, only Prussia had a limited number of compulsory education in the whole of Europe, so the literacy rate was slightly higher.

The common people at the bottom still believed in the great dragons that lived in the Alps, the cannibals that lived in northern Europe, and the Atlantic serpents that could swallow a ship.

In this era of confusion, the people did not have much ability to think independently. They had chosen to blindly follow the words of the newspapers at the first possible moment.
