The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 343

[Chapter 343 Angry Confucian Scholar]

The next day, Chunfeng Tower.

An old Confucian scholar held a newspaper in his hand and was reading fascinatedly.

Next to it, several diners were having a drink in the main hall, chatting about interesting things that happened recently.

“Who won yesterday’s final?”

“Who else could it be? It must be the Generals!”

“Didn’t the Shenwu Team win?”

“The Shenwu Team also won, but it’s a pity that they are behind the Generals in the standings. It’s a pity that we still failed to win the championship.”

“It’s a pity, my one hundred taels of silver!”

Everyone was chatting enthusiastically when they suddenly heard a sound of slamming on the table next to them.

They were all startled and looked in the direction of the sound.

It turned out to be an old Confucian scholar who had always been poor at speaking, or rather disdainful of their conversation about such dusty matters.

“How can this be unreasonable? How can this be unreasonable!”

The old Confucian scholar slapped the table, with an expression of extreme anger on his old face, which turned red and even his body was trembling slightly, as if he was extremely angry.

When everyone saw this scene, they all showed curiosity.

Among them, a young scholar who had read some books and chatted with the old Confucian scholar asked: “Mr. Lu, what’s wrong?”

The Confucian scholar, who was respectfully called Mr. Lu, raised his eyes and looked at the young scholar, trembling. He said in a loud voice: “Prince, you should love your people like your own children. How can you do this? How can you do this!”

These words had no beginning and no end, and everyone was still confused after hearing this.

It was the first time that the young scholar saw the old Confucian scholar so angry. He stood up, walked to his side, and comforted him: “Don’t be angry, Mr. Lu. Tell me what happened, and I will do my best.” It’s so meager.”

The old Confucian scholar seemed to be too angry to speak. He handed the newspaper in his hand to the young scholar tremblingly and said, “You, read it yourself!”

The young scholar was filled with doubts and curiosity. , reached out to take the newspaper and glanced at it hastily.

For a moment, I was stunned.

He couldn’t even hold the newspaper and slowly fell to the ground.

When everyone saw this scene, they became even more curious.

What on earth happened to frighten these two scholars to such an extent.

After a moment, the young scholar’s face was twisted together, his brows were furrowed, and he said nothing.

The onlookers could no longer bear it any longer and spoke one after another: “Scholar, what was written in the newspaper? Tell everyone.”

“Yes, tell me, what happened? Could it be those prairie barbarians?” Called over?”

The scholar heard the voice next to his ear, took a deep breath, and suppressed the anger and shock in his heart.

He bent down to pick up the newspaper that fell on the ground, looked at the newspaper, and started reading.

The content of this article is very short and the language is very vulgar. Even a villager who has never read a book can understand the meaning after listening to it.

This style of writing is called newspaper style, and its characteristic is that it is easy to understand.

Therefore, there are few people here who cannot understand.

Suddenly, the entire Chunfeng Tower became quiet.

The shopkeeper who was settling accounts at the counter also noticed something was wrong at this moment. He raised his eyes and glanced towards the main hall.

Seeing that all the diners seemed sluggish, he had a worried look on his face and asked, “Everyone, what’s going on?”

How could these diners give him some face and reply to the shopkeeper’s previous remarks? Two sentences.

However, this time no one responded.

All the diners looked at the scholar with very angry eyes.

Someone asked: “Scholar, what is said in the newspaper is true?”

Before the scholar could speak, someone next to him said: “Nonsense, what is written in the newspaper can be false? Have

you ever seen “Did Zhuxuanzhai make up the news?”

“That’s not what I meant.”

“Wait a minute!”

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, the scholar suddenly interrupted them.

He took the newspaper in his hand and read it carefully. Finally he found something wrong and said, “This newspaper doesn’t seem to be from Zhuxuanzhai.”

“It’s not from Zhuxuanzhai?”

When everyone heard this, their faces changed. Showing surprise.

After all, this newspaper was invented by Zhuxuanzhai and published by Zhuxuanzhai.

In the eyes of the common people in the capital, newspapers are equivalent to those produced by Zhuxuanzhai.

Since it’s not Zhuxuanzhai’s newspaper, then whose newspaper is it?

The scholar read the newspaper carefully, and finally found a line of small words at the signature of the newspaper: “Baijuan Tower?”

“Baijuan Tower? What is Baijuan Tower?”

When everyone heard the scholar’s words, they were even more confused.

At this time, someone said: “I have heard about the Hundred Volume Building. It was originally one of the three major bookstores in the north of the city. Later, after Zhuxuanzhai came out, it could only do some publishing business.

Later, even the printing business could no longer be run, and I heard that it would soon be converted into a restaurant.

how?

Does the Capital Morning News have anything to do with Baijuan Tower?

When the scholar heard this, he shook his head and said, “This is not the Beijing Morning News, but the Beijing Afternoon News.

“

“

The Capital Afternoon News?

Everyone felt a little confused after hearing this.

They had heard of the Capital Morning News and the Capital Evening News, but this was the first time they had heard of the Capital Afternoon News.

But

this also shows that this newspaper has something to do with it. It has nothing to do

with Zhuxuanzhai .

Doesn’t it mean that the news reported here may not be true?

When everyone thought of this, they felt much calmer than before.

After all, what was described in the newspaper headlines was really true. It’s so unbelievable that it’s even shocking!

His Majesty, the man who will most likely become the emperor in the future,

actually uses abducted children to raise dead soldiers

in cages and feeds them like pigs and dogs. They live the same life as pigs and dogs.

In the end, they are forced to kill each other. Only those who survive are qualified to get food for the next day.

Those who can do such a thing can still be considered. Human?

Moreover, such an inhuman beast turned out to be His Highness Prince Kang, who was always kind and approachable in their hearts!

This was something they could not imagine,

and they could even accept His Highness Prince Ning doing such a thing .

Some.

But His Majesty King Kang.

He is the best candidate for crown prince!

If His Majesty King Kang really does what the Capital Morning News said,

in the future, when the emperor passes away, wouldn’t it be possible for His Majesty King Kang to inherit the throne? Emperor Yang was

so cruel to those young men before he became a king.

Wouldn’t he be even more cruel to ordinary people like himself?

This matter involves more than just those children. His family, but the entire Chu country, and even the people of the world!

Therefore, when these people heard about it, they became so angry,

firstly for the children who lived like pigs and dogs,

and secondly for themselves!
