The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber

"Let's put it on sale."

As soon as Jia She said this, Zhu Mao and the others immediately became excited.After the three of them left the door, they dispersed immediately, all rushing to do their respective duties.

Fang Zhenglu went back to the All-Inclusive Bookstore and informed the shopkeeper, Qingshan, to release the tenth issue of "Secrets of Neighbors" with a completely new cover immediately.

Pig hair went to fly a kite and pass the signal.There were already arranged people waiting for the four areas of the capital, southeast, north, and west. As soon as the signal came out, these people would be in their respective areas of responsibility, holding the gongs and drums they had prepared, and beating everywhere in the city, shouting "" Neighborhood!" The tenth issue of "Family Secrets" is sold in Hebei Baichuan".

Hei Zhu led the beggar, Gui San led the guards, and the two of them led their own teams to guard Hu Laosan and Mo Xiangfang, observing and monitoring their next move.

On the street, in various bookstores and tea shops, the content of the pirated version of "Secrets of the Neighbor" has already begun to be discussed, and there are not a few people who scold Liu Zhongliang and Fang Qin for being nothing.

Some people read the book seriously and found that the content in this issue of "My Neighbor's Secret" was not as rigorous as before, and questioned it.

But it is a clear fact that Liu Zhongliang made a mistake in Jindi.Originally, after the calamity fraud incident in Jindi came out, everyone didn't quite understand what was wrong with Liu Zhongliang's eyes. When they inspected Jindi, they couldn't even see that there was no disaster at all.Everyone has always felt that he is suspected of being corrupt and being bribed by King Jin.But because the imperial court finally kept Liu Zhongliang, everyone felt that there might be something hidden in the matter, so they didn't make much trouble in the end.

But this time the matter of Liu Zhongliang was exposed again. After a little inquiring, Liu Zhongliang did indeed have three wives who had passed away.Some people were filled with righteous indignation and chose to believe what the pirated books said.

Most people like to follow the herd.

Therefore, the small amount of voices questioning fake books before were quickly drowned out by impassioned and indignant voices.

Countless mouths open and close, fighting against each other.At the same time, there are also some people who complain because Heiner Baichuan and Neighborhood Xuan sell books at a high price in violation of morality.

At this moment, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from outside, shouting something like "The tenth issue of "Secrets of Neighbors" is on sale at the bookstore that embraces all rivers."

The originally noisy book shop and tea shop suddenly fell silent.

The crowd only took a moment to calm down, then they started chattering and asking each other what was going on in a daze.Everyone shook their heads with ignorant faces, and everyone either went out by themselves, or sent a servant to inquire.

"It's amazing, Heiner Baichuan published another "Secrets of Neighbors", which is also the tenth issue, and the price is still the same as before, selling five taels of silver."

"Oh my god, which one is real?" someone immediately asked.

Everyone was a little dazed, but there were a few aristocratic children who were not short of money, so they sent people directly to buy books in the sea.If the two books are the same, but the price is different, then you have to talk about it.If it is not the same, there must be one true and one false, so it is even more necessary to talk about it carefully, and after some theory, the faker will not be spared.

For those who are eager to know the answer, they simply go straight to Heiner Baichuan.

When we arrived, the entrance of Haina Baichuan was already full of people, and there was a lot of voices.

It happened that someone bought a book from inside, and everyone gathered around to have a look. The cover of the book in his hand was bronze-colored, and the words "Secrets of Neighbors" printed on it were surrounded by very complicated and delicate patterns.

You don't need to look at the content, just look at the cover and you will know that the two books are different.Moreover, the obvious production of the latter obviously seems to be used to distinguish pirated versions.As a result, more people flocked to Heina Baichuan to buy books.There are also those who can't wait, depending on who buys the book, they surround that person three floors in and out to read it.

But these days, those who are willing to spend money to buy books here are basically rich noble children, and most of the people who come to buy books are servants who are driven to come here.Naturally, they wanted to rush out as soon as possible and present the book to their master.Therefore, the boys who bought the books usually ignored everyone, huddled around and rushed out of the tight encirclement.

Among these people, there is one who likes to show off. His surname is Zhou, the second child in the family, and he is known as Master Zhou.There are thousands of fertile fields in the family, although they are not as good as those of the noble families in Beijing, but they are still a wealthy family who do not worry about money, food and clothing.Since his generation, the family has been expected to be able to study and become an official, and to be a little bit ink-scented.Therefore, this Master Zhou has been working very hard to make friends in the literati circle in the capital, and he is still quite famous today.

Lord Tuesday shouted to tell everyone not to worry, he will read to everyone while watching.The onlookers rushed over one after another. Because it was too crowded, some people urged each other and shouted, "Don't crowd, we are all waiting for this to be read to everyone!"

Seeing the scene at the door, the young servant who is inclusive of all rivers hurriedly beat the gong to remind everyone not to occupy the road, and not to delay the normal pedestrians on the road.At the same time, we moved tables and stools to the back alley, and asked Mr. Zhou to take everyone to the back alley to talk, so as to avoid the traffic and people on the road, causing crowding and trampling.

When Master Zhou heard this, he felt that he was still thoughtful, so he agreed.So, Lord Tuesday, surrounded by everyone, went to the backyard of the sea.Master Tuesday simply sat down on the table, a little higher than everyone, so that everyone can see him, and then he read to everyone word by word.

When the sound came together, everyone quieted down and listened with ears pricked up.

"Liu Zhongliang, courtesy name Zizhan, from Luzhou, Jinshi of Bingchen Division..."

"Isn't this what Liu Zhongliang said, it's no different!" Someone sighed quickly.

Then someone asked in doubt: "Could it be that the content is similar, but the cover color is different?"

"Then which one is true?"

"It's expensive!"

“Cheap ones!”

Before Master Zhou could read a few sentences, the people below were divided into two factions and quarreled.

"I advise you to listen carefully. We have already finished reading this book. Compared with the cheap one, its content is good or bad. Let's judge."

"And those who hold the green book, I'm really sorry to tell you, this time you bought the wrong one because you were greedy for cheap! It's a fake! The truth is what you sell!"

The ones who spoke were two young men from rich families who had just walked over.After reading the book, the two felt a little indignant. They just talked to each other and felt that their energy was not enough.Hearing that all the people who join in the fun are in the back alley, the two of them came over to have a look.Hearing the words at this moment, I couldn't help interjecting, warning them to listen.

Now everyone was quiet again, looking up at Master Zhou who was studying, asking him to continue, this time they will not interrupt him.

Master Zhou read it word by word, first he read the history of Liu Zhongliang's oversight in Jindi. The book listed five people who traveled with Liu Zhongliang by their real names, and described what they saw and heard at that time.

When these people followed Liu Zhongliang to inspect the disaster situation in Jin, the group completely obeyed King Jin's arrangement.Wherever they walked, there were no crops and no crops, and starvation everywhere.Moreover, when they followed Liu Zhongliang on the way to and from Jindi, they also saw many refugees who were starving and emaciated walking weakly on the road.At that time, everyone thought the same as Liu Zhongliang, and they were very convinced that the disaster in Jin was serious.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help lamenting that it was the cunning and treacherous king of Jin who actually faked the scene of the disaster.It's no wonder that Liu Zhongliang and the others were deceived. If it were them, they might not be able to see clearly.

After that, Lord Zhou began to tell the story of Liu Zhongliang's three wives who died of illness.

The first was due to dystocia and hemorrhage, and died three days after giving birth.The original maids and mother-in-laws have stayed in Liu's mansion until now, taking care of Liu's parents and sons. These people can not only prove that their wives died of dystocia, but also frankly show that Liu Zhongliang is a good man who loves his wife and children very much. .When the original wife was weak after giving birth, Liu Zhongliang ignored the taboos in the delivery room and stayed with the original wife day and night.After the death of the original wife, all her dowry was also sealed up and reserved only for her only son in the future.

As for the second wife, after five years of marriage, she unfortunately passed away due to a small cold.

The third wife accidentally slipped and fell while walking in winter, resulting in miscarriage and physical weakness. It took more than half a year, and finally fell ill and died.

It is indeed a coincidence that the three wives Liu Zhongliang married died one after another.But Liu Zhongliang has always treated the three wives with respect.He behaved well and sat upright, and he never treated anyone harshly.None of the people who served the three wives had deliberately sent them away, and they are still staying in Liu's residence, so you can check and ask.

"Secrets of Neighbors" also interviewed several doctors who took the pulse of the three ladies at that time. The doctors all personally confirmed the illnesses of the three ladies, and the descriptions were similar without flaws, which shows that the illnesses are true and not fake.

Moreover, Liu Zhongliang's family has never had a concubine or aunt. His mother is dedicated to the Buddha, and she lives and eats in the Buddhist hall all year round. There are no other accidents.Furthermore, when the second wife fell ill and died, Liu Zhongliang had been sent out to be an official in Yuzhou at that time, and had never returned home.

At that time, he didn't even have the chance to go back to Beijing to see his wife, so let alone he tortured his second wife to death.

"Master Liu was transferred to Yuzhou for disaster relief for a year seven years ago, I remember. This matter cannot be faked! Not to mention anything else, this alone is enough to refute the so-called 'Liu Zhongliang tortured and killed his three wives'." After reading this, Master Zhou became angry himself, and explained to everyone angrily while holding the book and gritted his teeth.

Many people, like Lord Zhou, remember Liu Zhongliang's trip to Yuzhou for disaster relief.

"Bringing that matter up, there were many good stories about Mr. Liu at that time. He really cared for the people and cared for the people." An elderly man said politely, twirling his beard.

"That's exactly what I'm going to talk about," Master Zhou stretched his legs, and began to read aloud Liu Zhongliang's good deeds over the years, such as disaster relief, justice, killing relatives, etc., "Secrets of Neighbors" picked out everything A typical concrete example is illustrated.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but applaud such an upright official who is responsible for loving the people like a son.At the same time, everyone felt guilty in their hearts.After all, they had just read the fake book, and the words they scolded Liu Zhongliang were still hot, but they were immediately slapped in the face by the real "Secret Stories Next Door".

This face hurts so much, it hurts more than hitting it directly with your hands.

After everyone echoed and gave examples to explain that Liu Zhongliang was a good official, they all fell silent.

Someone in the crowd sneered a few times, then dropped the fake in his hand, stepped on it, and crushed it.

"I saw something wrong with this stuff, it was written hypocritically and contrived, contrary to the truth. Want to learn "Secrets of Neighbors"? It's still a thousand miles away! Pooh! Falsely frame a good official for the country and the people, It almost encouraged us to wrong a good person! I curse those who write books and sell books to die!"

"I said that when I first started reading, I felt that the content in this fake book was not right. That's it. It turns out that a lot of the content in it, as well as the so-called testimony of the anonymous person, are all the conjectures of this bullshit author. .”

"In the future, when we read books, we have to use our brains to think more, don't be fooled by some malicious authors!"

"Correct!"

"Correct!"

"Correct!"

Immediately, everyone also echoed, awakened from the cursing, and hated the fake book that maliciously spread rumors, and threw the book.

Then there was an injustice, holding up the green leather fake book in his hand, and said to the crowd: "Never let them off easily! You are so brave, dare to imitate and plagiarize "Secrets of Neighbors", and encourage us to frame the court officials. His heart is kind, cunning and vicious. ! Never let them succeed!"

"It was so easy for us in Dazhou to have a good official like Mr. Liu, and it was almost destroyed by our mistakes."

"This fake book is more poisonous than poison, you can't keep it! You must ask for an explanation!" Master Zhou saw that everyone was so righteously angry, and he couldn't dare to lag behind. He jumped on the ground, straightened his back, and shouted at everyone with red necks. road.

Everyone immediately echoed Master Zhou's words, and those who had books took them and went to Mr. Hu's bookstore to denounce him.

When a group of people went there, they also saw a few scholars arguing with the staff of the book shop.Some guys came out with sticks and wanted to drive people away, shouting that they would not return the books.

Seeing this on Tuesday, how can they be so rampant.

Literati are all proud and arrogant, and they are the best at theory. They can't bear the loss of such a lie, and they must gather around to seek justice.At the same time, there were also dudes who didn't think it was a big deal, so they simply wrote a complaint and handed it directly to Gyeonggi Prefecture, suing Hu Laosan's shop for groundlessly defaming the court official.

……

Besides, Hu Laosan, since the sale of fake books in the morning, has been lying in the wing room in the backyard, happily listening to his subordinates counting the money he has earned.Huang Taihong, the second head of Moxiangfang, also came later, and accompanied him.

At first Hu Laosan heard that someone was coming to make a fuss, so he thought it was one or two scholars who saw the clues who came to question him, so he didn't take it seriously, and just asked someone to send him away.Unexpectedly, after a while, when more people came to ask questions, Mr. Hu simply sent a group of thugs to guard the shop and drive away those gossiping people.

Huang Taihong, the second shopkeeper of Moxiangfang, is a little timid. He has been uneasy since the sale of fake books in the morning, so he came here with Hu Laosan.

Now when he heard that someone suspected that the book was fake, he felt guilty, stood up, and looked nervously at Hu Laosan.At the beginning, he just wanted to make some low-priced versions of "Secrets Next Door" to make a small profit, without much risk.However, this matter was encountered by Hu Laosan later, and he insisted on making it big, but it turned out to be such a big trouble.

"Sit down! It's just a big deal, you're so worthless, and those who achieve big things don't care about small things. Do you know why you have always been the second in charge of Moxiangfang? You are just too timid and don't have the courage and tolerance of your elder brother. "Hu Laosan sneered.

When Huang Taihong heard this, he calmed down and sat down angrily.

He will definitely be more promising than his elder brother.

Seeing his pale face, Hu Laosan sighed that these scholars were too timid, "I am not a fool, the reason why I dared to do this at the beginning was because I knew the identity of the writer next door was mysterious, and no one could trust me." Prove who he is. Besides, even if I, Mr. Hu, make a book called "Secrets of Neighbors", who stipulates that the name of this book cannot be repeated. Is this against the law? Hmph, as long as it is not against the law, what I want to do Just do what you want, who cares!"

As for the inclusiveness, as long as this issue of the book can get the support of the vast majority of literati, he, Hu Laosan, will tell people to bite the other party as a fake, and then find some thugs to harass them every day, so that they have no business every day. In the end, I couldn't afford it and closed the door.

As for the real writer of mysteries next door, if he dares to stand up and look for him, Hu Laosan will dare to trick him into cooperating with him. So, what can the writer do to him.

If there is money to be made, everyone will be happy together, if there is no money to be made, it will be over.

Anyway, the reputation accumulated before the neighbor's secret is not his, so if it is damaged, it will be lost, and this deal will not be compensated.

"Originally, Laozi Qian didn't pay attention to publishing the book. I am willing to help you this time because the content of this book suits my heart." Hu Laosan grinned, with anger in his words, " This Liu Zhongliang, ever since he became the servant of the household department, has been dictating my water transportation business. I gave him a few times of money, but I thought it was too little and returned it to me. Cao Lan, the secretary of the household department, should be more polite when he sees me. What kind of thing! He made a big mistake and was not demoted in Jindi, so he is lucky, but this time I will never let him have an easy time."

After hearing Hu Laosan's bold and reckless words, Huang Hongtai was irrefutable.This fellow is a local rascal, and at the beginning he fought a lot at the ferry in the capital by virtue of his courage, so he cannot be rewarded.

Blame it on him for making a slip of the tongue after drinking, and telling this alcoholic friend about the pirated version of "Secrets Next Door".

Now that the flood is out of control, I can only pray that the development of the matter is really as Hu Laosan said, and he can also get a share of it.

"You are all short-sighted. How much money can a book with five hundred pennies and two taels be worth? It's better to use the name of this book to defraud those greedy officials. The money will definitely be more and faster than before. !" Hu Laosan thought of this idea for himself is too beautiful.

Huang Hongtai was amazed, "Correct the imperial court to order an official? Regardless of the rank, even a sesame official of the eighth or ninth rank is not something we can afford to offend."

"You, use your brains! If I don't have any backing, how dare I do this in the capital's territory?" Hu Laosan pointed his nostrils at Huang Hongtai, his tone sonorous, and his face full of wanton arrogance.

Huang Hongtai saw that there were no outsiders around, and hurriedly asked Hu Laosan who this backer was.

As soon as Hu Laosan made his mouth into the shape of a chicken butt, he heard someone shouting outside.

"My lord, it's too bad. The "Secrets of My Neighbor" was released today, and several people came from outside the book shop to withdraw the book, saying it was fake."

"Bite me to death! Tell them that what we have here is "Secrets of the Neighbor", and all troublemakers will be shot out. Those poor people have no power to restrain their chickens. Once you start, they will be scared to piss their ass It's gone." Hu Laosan sneered twice, and then asked his subordinates to get a book as soon as possible to read.

"How could it be such a coincidence!" Huang Hongtai's heart, which had just stabilized, suddenly lifted again.

"Have you asked that kid carefully? Are the contents of our book reliable?" Hu Laosan thought for a while and asked Huang Hongtai.

Huang Hongtai hurriedly said: "You have also read this content, you think it is wonderful and you want to print it, originally I do not agree with that kid's idea, the author of "Secrets of the Neighbors" is so clever, even the official way Even the news in the palace is in his grasp, I always feel that this person is really not easy to offend."

"Again! I'm just a layman, how can I be boasted by you literati. As for the news in his book, I can find out if I ask someone to inquire about it. Don't let me see him, or I will kill him!" Mr. Hu After spitting three times, he turned to pick up the book published by himself, opened it for confirmation, and thought it was well written.

Not long after, the servant took the genuine "Secrets of the Neighborhood" bought at a high price from someone else, and handed it to Hu Laosan.

Hu Laosan saw that the color of the cover of the book had changed, and even the color of the lettering of the name had also changed, and he felt something was wrong in his heart.Originally, if it was true that the neighbor's secret story happened to collide with them, Hu Laosan also had confidence in fighting them to the death.But now the appearance has changed. I'm afraid that people will know the news long ago and be on guard against their actions.

Hu Laosan looked at Huang Hongtai suspiciously, and opened the book.Huang Hongtai also came over and looked carefully.

Only halfway through the book, the faces of the two of them turned black and white.

Huang Hongtai was already pale and speechless, and looked at Hu Laosan with fear on his face.

Hu Laosan glared at Huang Hongtai with a black face, Huang Hongtai waved his hands again and again to show that he really didn't know, and stepped back towards the door.

Hu Laosan was in a hurry. He never thought that the writers of "Secrets of the Neighbors" were so powerful, and they did not know what tricks they used to know the contents of their pirated books.Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence that the contents of that book coincided with theirs.

They scolded Liu Zhongliang for nothing in the book, and others praised Liu Zhongliang in the book for being loyal to the emperor and patriotic.However, people write well-founded facts, each and every case, with the real location, witnesses and time attached, all of which are true and can be checked, and there are a few things that are well known, and there is no need to even check them.It's just that it's been a long time, and everyone has forgotten it. When it is mentioned in the book, it makes people suddenly realize that it is true in retrospect.

No matter how rascal Hu Laosan was, he was unreasonable and wanted to argue, but at this moment he was at a loss for words.Because the content in other people's books is really nothing, can, argue, and refute!

"Why did the content leak out? It's not your useless subordinates!"

In a rage, Hu Laosan picked up the teacup on the table and hit Huang Hongtai hard on the head.

With a bang, it hit Huang Hongtai on the nose, and Huang Hongtai fell to the ground with his head thrown back.When he stood up again, two bright red streams flowed from his nostrils.

Hu Laosan didn't care about wearing his shoes, so he jumped off the Luohan couch, rode on Huang Hongtai's body and punched him in the face.

"How dare you fool me! I gave up my name to buy books for you, how dare you fool me like this!"

Huang Hongtai howled to express his ignorance, "This article was written by that surname Sun, and it has nothing to do with me!"

Huang Hongtai didn't dare to say it, but he complained in his heart that Hu Laosan was unreasonable. He obviously read the article and advocated making a fake "Secrets of Neighbors".

I also blame the person surnamed Sun, who cheated him by writing these dirty things!Huang Hongtai swore in his heart that he would never let him go!

"Master, there are a lot of people coming from the bookstore, there can be hundreds of them. Did you scare them with sticks? On the contrary, it made them even more angry, and they all rushed in to ask for an explanation." The clerk covered his red eyes and complained. It is said that those humanities are not easy to deal with, but there are still people who hit people with the corner of the book.

Hu Laosan immediately went to the lobby.

Huang Hongtai started to run tremblingly, and hurriedly slipped out the back door while clutching his bleeding nose.

As soon as Hu Laosan stepped into the lobby, he heard noisy voices, and then someone shouted such words as "return the fake book", "framing the imperial court official", "staining the neighbor's secrets".

Hu Laosan took a look, and saw that there were densely packed black heads, all of them were full of hostility, turned around and retreated.

"Master, what should we do?"

"go!"

Hu Laosan just wants to ask the nobleman as soon as possible to restore this matter quickly.Suddenly he heard someone shouting "the government will handle the case", he had a bad idea, so he hurried to the horse pen to untie the reins, and he was about to escape through the back door.Turning around, he saw a group of Yamen servants from Gyeonggi Province barging in from the back door, each of them carrying a knife, and two people directly crossed their knives, blocking the way out of the back door.

Hu Laosan gritted his teeth, really wanted to force his way out, but if he openly disputed with the official, he would really become a criminal.

"Mr. Hu, someone has accused you of slandering the court officials. By the order of my lord, come with us to the government office!"

With great difficulty Liu Zhizhong squeezed his way from the lobby, held his official cap steady, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Hu Laosan had been stopped by the yamen guards.He came in time and was able to give Mr. Song an explanation.

Hu Laosan was immediately taken into the prison car amidst the scolding and accusations of all the literati.

Generally, when the government arrests people for the first time, it is rare to prepare such a prison car that can be used to parade in the streets.

After Hu Laosan got into the prison car, his hands and head were fixed on the prison car and he couldn't move. His whole body just stood there in a daze. Only his lower body could be twisted, but it was useless.Along with the slow movement of the prison car, people laughed at, cursed at, and pointed at.

Everyone saw that the government had prepared this kind of car, and felt that the intention of Mr. Fu Yin was too obvious. It was just to let them throw away their things happily and clean up this bastard Hu Laosan.So they rushed to tell each other, prepared a lot of "fresh things" and came to "entertain" Hu Laosan.

For fear of missing the grand occasion of throwing and beating Hu Laosan, some wealthy families specially ordered their own servants to come on horseback with a tightly tied cloth ball.

Everyone was curious about what that thing was.

The young man got off his horse and prepared two long poles. One pole held the cloth ball and stretched it towards the top of Hu Laosan's head, and the other pole had a sharpened end, and poked the cloth ball hard.A hole was punctured in the cloth ball immediately, and many dense black things fell down, which at first glance looked like dirt.Until someone exclaimed that it was ants, everyone saw that those 'little black spots' turned out to be moving.Hu Laosan shook his head ferociously and screamed. Everyone watched and got goosebumps all over his body. Shenzhen felt a little itchy.

"Your master is really powerful. I don't know where he got so many ants?"

The little servant laughed and said: "My grandfather likes to dig ant holes. He has been saving these for half a year, and he just waits for something to do. Our grandfather said that today is the time to do this."

After the boy sighed, he led the horse and disappeared into the crowd.

Everyone sighed that the master of this boy has a heart of justice, and he does not leave his name behind when he does good deeds.

One or two ants and bugs are not very good.But when thousands of them fall from the top of the head at the same time, they are densely packed, which is really disgusting.Even Hu Laosan was shaking all over, and with the help of the shaking of the carriage, most of the ants were shaken off his body.But what was left in people's hearts was a dense itching feeling that could not be shaken off for a long time.

At this moment, Hu Laosan only felt that his eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and other parts of his body with holes seemed to have gotten into ants and insects, and his whole body was being bitten by ants and insects frantically from the inside to the outside, making it extremely itchy and uncomfortable.

Hu Laosan twisted his neck, twisted his body, and stomped his feet in pain all the way.From time to time, we have to welcome other 'fresh things' sent by the common people.

For the first time in his life, Hu Laosan regretted acting impulsively.He has been bold and reckless for most of his life, and has always bullied others, and he has rarely suffered a disadvantage.He never expected that the first time he was planted, it would be so humiliating that his life would be worse than death.

The author of the secret story next door... He wants to take back what he said, this author is definitely not an ordinary person, not an ordinary person!He is the devil, a ghost who is elusive!

On the way home, Huang Hongtai heard that Hu Laosan had been arrested, and he still didn't believe it.Turning his head and turning back, he saw Hu Laosan, who just punched him majesticly, now became a dying grasshopper in the prison cage of the government office.The tragic scene completely surpassed all his previous thinking and experience, and it is also something that has never been encountered by the sinners exposed in recent issues of "Secrets of the Neighbor".

Huang Hongtai just glanced at it, and felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, his heart was pounding with fright, and he wanted to pee his pants.He hurriedly clutched his stomach and ran to Moxiangfang.After returning, he squatted at the base of the wall and vomited for a while, then hastily ordered his subordinates to destroy all the mud blocks of movable type that had been left over from the previous year.The pirated copies of "Secrets of Neighbors" in Yinfang's private collection were also quickly burned.

Then Huang Hongtai hurried back to his room, took the key to open his treasure box, packed all the bank notes and cash inside, and was about to run away with the package.

"What are you doing!"

Huang Hongsheng, the shopkeeper of Moxiangfang, saw his younger brother like this, and immediately asked him sternly.

Huang Hongtai waved his hand at his elder brother, "I have offended a terrific person on the street, I must run now, otherwise it will be too late, I will send a letter to explain to my elder brother later!"

Huang Hongsheng immediately asked someone to arrest Huang Hongtai and told him to explain clearly, otherwise he would not be let go.

Huang Hongtai had no choice but to cry and kneel down, telling the truth about what he had committed.

Huang Hongsheng was so angry that he slapped the table, "How could you do such a bold and foolish thing! Besides Hu Laosan's instigation, who else came up with the idea? Who made up these fake contents and deceived you and Hu Laosan! Hire me truthfully!"

"I... I don't know. I only know that his surname is Sun. I met him when we were having flowers and wine in Baixianglou. At that time, we only agreed on a few words, so I made some nonsense with him. The man heard that my family is Mo The one from Xiangfang proposed to let me print "Secrets of Neighbors", and I would share the money with him. Later, I made some money a few years ago, and I met him in Baixianglou, so I gave him the money. People are having fun there again.

When he woke up the next day, the man showed me the article he wrote specially at night.If you want me to learn "My Neighbor's Secret" and try to publish a book, I'll share [-]% of the money with him.I just woke up with a headache, and when I slowed down and asked the person's name, the person had already disappeared.

I just took it as a joke and didn't pay attention to it. It happened that Mr. Hu invited me to drink that night, so I just said it.Unexpectedly, Hu Laosan took a fancy to that article at a glance and said that it would be better to use the name of the neighbor's secret story if he said that he should learn nonsense.Let me print, he sells, he only needs [-]% profit.I didn't dare to do it at first, but Mr. Hu always scolded me for being cowardly and worthless, so I agreed in a fit of anger. "

Huang Hongsheng sneered, and turned to ask the people around him, but he remembered Huang Hongtai's words clearly.

It was only then that Huang Hongtai realized that there was a very faceless person standing beside his elder brother, and he had never seen this person before.The clothes looked quite expensive, but the standing posture was reserved, and he didn't look like a son or brother.

Huang Hongsheng hurriedly bowed to the man and said, "My younger brother has little knowledge and is greedy for fame and profit, which is really a disgrace to our Moxiangfang. I, Huang Hongsheng, will swear again today that I will sever brotherhood with him and have no further contact with him. Thank you so much, sir. It happened to us in Moxiangfang. Now this guy, I immediately asked someone to take it and send it to the government."

Heng Shu nodded neither humble nor overbearing, and walked away with his hands behind his back, quite imposing.

Huang Hongtai hurriedly asked his eldest brother who that person was.

Huang Hongtai glared at his younger brother fiercely, not allowing him to say any more, immediately ordered someone to gag him, and sent him to see the official.At such a time, he has no choice but to kill his relatives righteously and give up his younger brother to protect his elder brother.

Moreover, this shameless bastard and muddleheaded thing caused such a big trouble, even Mr. Song of Gyeonggi Province, he deserves to die for no reason!

Huang Hongtai closed his eyes, no matter how much his younger brother struggled and screamed, he only shed tears of righteousness for him one last time, and it was as if his younger brother was gone from then on.

When Hengshu returned to Neighborhood Hall, he told Song Xi everything about Moxiangfang.

Jia Amnesty was also drinking tea, listening leisurely.

Song Xizhuan immediately asked if the person could be sent to Gyeonggi Province.Hengshu nodded, and said that at the Baichun Tower, he also ordered people to investigate, and he would immediately ask the artist to draw a portrait of the instigator named Sun.

Song Xi nodded.

Heng Shu immediately withdrew tactfully.

"You should check this matter. Baixianglou is your territory, and it is full of slick and glib characters. Ordinary people can't find anything if they ask. Only you, the boss, ordered to draw the person's face. Portrait." Jia She sighed.

Song Xi immediately sat down behind the piano table, lowered his eyebrows and smiled slightly, then raised his hand and plucked the strings of the piano, and a string of tunes like heavenly sounds came out.

He said, "This is the end. What else do you want to hear?"

"High mountains and flowing water." Jia She said.

"No." Song Xi immediately refused.

"High mountains and flowing water meet a bosom friend, this song is so good." Jia She rested his chin and looked at Song Xi, and then he saw the cold look in his eyes, and realized, "What do you mean, I'm not worthy to be your bosom friend?"

Song Xi lowered his eyes, his slender fingers lightly landed on the strings, and his whole body was like a cold and bright moon in the cold sky.In the vastness of the night, you can only see the brightness he radiates, and nothing else has color.

Song Xi's face was calm, and his fingers jumped on the strings.The sound of the piano is melodious, like jade beads falling to the ground.The person who plays the piano is like a fairy king, who does not eat fireworks and looks down on all living beings.

The sound of the piano stopped for a long time before Jia She came back to his senses and looked away from Song Xi's face.Then he brushed off his robe as if nothing had happened, and asked casually: "What song is this? It's also very nice."

"Feng Qiuhuang."
