The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 346

[Chapter 346 Refuting Rumors]

Rumors When the shopkeeper of Baijuanlou heard these questions, the expression on his face changed instantly.

But it only took a moment to calm down.

He looked at the strong man who questioned him and did not answer the question directly. Instead, he asked: “I would like to ask you who instructed you to frame our Baijuanlou!?” When

the strong man heard this, he With a smile on his face, he took a few steps forward, looked down at the shopkeeper of Chunfeng Tower, shook his head, and said, “I don’t think you will shed tears until you see the coffin.”

At this time, the boy next to him also reacted and shouted Said: “Do you still want to hit people!?

How dare you act like this at the feet of the Emperor? Do you still have the law in your eyes?” When

the strong man heard this, the fist he originally stretched out stopped in the air, and hardened Shengsheng took it back again.

Now is a special period, and you need to be careful, careful, and careful in everything you do!

These are the special instructions given by Mr. Gong before leaving, and they must not be forgotten.

So, he took a deep breath, suppressed the thought of giving in, looked at the shopkeeper of Baijuanlou, and said, “Okay, since you don’t want to say it, I will say it for you!”

He knelt down and picked up the quilt. The master copy of the Capital Afternoon Newspaper that he threw on the ground.

Pointing at the content above, he said, “It accuses His Royal Highness King Kang of raising dead soldiers, and even gives a detailed location, right?”

At this moment, people were already crowding around outside.

In fact, as early as when the Beijing afternoon newspaper was first published, there were many meddlesome people guarding the door, hoping to join in the fun.

After waiting for two hours, I finally got the picture I was waiting for.

Needless to say, they all knew that the strong man speaking at this moment must be from Prince Kang’s palace.

Even if not, it is inextricably linked to Prince Kang’s Mansion.

Several Confucian scholars also reacted at this time, glared at the strong man who spoke, and said, “What?

Can this be faked?”

When the strong man heard this, he glanced at the Confucian scholar who spoke, smiled, and replied: “Of course it can be faked!”

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent for a moment.

Everyone focused their attention on the strong man, wanting to hear what he would explain next.

After all, the newspaper pointed out in detail the location where King Kang kept the dead soldiers captive, as well as the time when the reporter from Baijuanlou discovered it.

Since Zhuxuanzhai published the first Beijing Morning News, the people in the capital have long been accustomed to trusting newspapers.

Therefore, most of the things in this newspaper that have been investigated by reporters are firmly believed.

Even if no one has actually seen it, they still believe that what is said in the newspaper is true!

The strong man looked around and continued: “It’s just gossiping. This is too simple. Not to mention the scholars who have read books, even a guy like me who can’t read a word can

still make up a shocking story .

, for example, His Royal Highness King Kang, who has always been approachable, turned out to be a brutal beast in disguise, and then made up some specific things,

such as using young men from good families to train dead men, and then made up some locations, such as Nanlin on the outskirts of the city. Isn’t this necessary

? How much brainpower does it take, or how much energy does it take? “

But”

someone next to me couldn’t help but want to refute.

After all, the location was clearly pointed out in the newspaper.

“But what? The newspaper pointed out that His Highness Prince Kang cultivated dead soldiers in Nanlin on the outskirts of the city?”

“Yes, this is ironclad evidence!”

“Ironproof? Let me ask you, have any of you gone to Nanlin on the outskirts of the city to see it?

” came out, the whole place was quiet.

Obviously, no one had the leisure time to rent a carriage and go to Nanlin on the outskirts of the city to verify whether the things in the newspaper were true. When

the strong man saw this scene, he smiled on his face and continued: “Since I didn’t go to see “But how do you know this is true?

Just because the Beijing Morning News

has been established for less than three hours, why do you believe in this newspaper that has no foundation?”

Everyone heard this? The words were all silent again.

Even after the Confucian scholars calmed down, they felt that what the strong man said made sense. It is

indeed

too easy to make up fake news.

And no one can confirm that what was printed in the newspaper was indeed true.

What they saw was nothing more than family talk, nothing to count.

However,

some Confucian scholars raised questions: “Why did Baijuan Tower do this?”

When the shopkeeper of Baijuan Tower heard the strong man’s words, he was already despairing.

Because he already understood King Ning’s purpose.

Sacrificing himself and his position in His Majesty’s heart in exchange for the possibility of re-participating in the heir apparent.

For King Ning and King Kang, this is a lose-lose approach.

For myself, it is the beginning of falling into a place of no return!

In fact, as early as when Prince Ning gave him 10,000 taels of silver, he vaguely sensed something was wrong.

I was just lucky, thinking that things were not as bad as I imagined.

But

now, seeing the guards sent by His Highness King Kang and listening to his obviously rehearsed language, he completely gave up hope.

Since His Highness King Kang did this, it means that His Majesty in the palace will definitely intervene in this matter.

His Highness Prince Ning may be punished, which may even make His Majesty even more chilling.

But we are blood relatives, and no matter what, His Majesty will not place the main responsibility for this matter on His Highness Prince Ning.

At this time, a scapegoat is needed to calm the public’s anger.

In the entire capital, is there any more suitable scapegoat than the shopkeeper of Baijuan Tower who fabricated false news to damage the reputation of His Highness Prince Kang and had evil intentions?

When the shopkeeper of Baijuanlou thought of this, he felt that his whole body had lost all strength and collapsed on the ground.

When the boy next to him saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat, as if he had realized something and was breaking out in a cold sweat.

Not far away, the strong man from Prince Kang’s Mansion explained: “Of course there are reasons to ask. Before today, how many of you have heard of the name Baijuan Tower.

However, in just one day, Baijuan Tower The afternoon report of the building and the capital spread throughout the capital. Isn’t this the purpose of the Baijuan Tower?”

When everyone onlookers heard this, they all felt that it made sense. They looked at each other and could see the surprise in each other’s eyes. color.

The matter of His Highness Prince Kang keeping dead soldiers in captivity was actually fabricated by Baijuanlou for his own fame and fortune?

Only some scholars and middle-aged businessmen heard this and felt it was unreasonable.

The reason is simple. Although fabricating news about His Royal Highness Prince Kang can bring huge fame and fortune, it also requires taking huge risks.

Not to mention the Yamen of Kyoto Prefecture, not to mention the Ministry of Justice, even the pressure from Prince Kang’s Palace is not something that a small Baijuan Tower can withstand. So

, what is the reason for all this?
