I run a newspaper in ancient times

Su Yue is the only daughter of the Su family, but Su's father didn't feel that women are inferior to men, because the family was a merchant and engaged in the cloth business, so he brought Su Yue by his side since childhood, and taught merchants hand in hand.

But Su Yue lived up to her father's expectations, and was born with a strong interest in accounting and doing business. Together, the father and daughter made the business bigger and bigger. With their own caravan, they opened branches to other state capitals, and even followed the court, There is also one in Beijing.

It was an accident to meet Zhang Yuan, the eldest son of Uncle Yongchang. The story is very old-fashioned. When she was going to the temple to offer incense, she was trapped in a pavilion with her maid when it rained heavily while playing in the back mountain.

Zhang Yuan went back in the rain, but brought umbrellas to the strange pair of girls with his servant. Although he didn't say much, this kindness touched Su Yue's heart.

When I got home, I asked someone to find out who gave her the umbrella that day.

The family status of Uncle Yongchang's mansion made her slightly deterred. After all, she was a daughter of a merchant who couldn't get high. However, she was always informal and always tried to win what she liked, so she had the cheek to ask the matchmaker to ask.

In the capital city, like Uncle Yongchang's mansion, which has titles but no power, and even loses their families, there are actually quite a few. Although Su Yue came from a merchant and has a low status, her dowry is rich, so Uncle Yongchang agreed to the marriage.

However, Su Yue didn't know until she got married that Mrs. Yongchang died young, and her uncle remarried and gave birth to several children.

Zhang Yuan's health is not good, he keeps taking medicine, and sometimes he has to rest in bed, this appearance is naturally not liked by the uncle, and it is also destined to see Su Yue in the back mountain.

And Su Yue was able to enter the door because of her generous dowry, and the whole family was counting on her to help.

However, Su Yue has always been shrewd in dealing with people since she was a child, how could she be used to subsidize her husband's family?

This made Mrs. Uncle feel dissatisfied immediately. She sowed dissension openly and secretly, trying to separate the husband and wife, and forcing Su Yue to spend money.

Fortunately, Zhang Yuan clearly distinguishes right from wrong, knows who is really good to him, and has always respected and loved his wife, so he will not change his mind.

"That's how life is going, but the third uncle is going to get engaged, but the dignified Earl's Mansion can't come up with a decent dowry, it's really ridiculous." Su Yue sneered.

The three editors at the side shook their pens quickly, recording what she said one by one.

Li Li asked: "And then?"

"The third uncle is the wife's son, and he can be regarded as a legitimate son. Unlike my husband, he is in good health, and his studies are not bad. Now he has passed the Juren examination, and he has high hopes from the uncle. The girl he likes is also from a good family background, compared to a civilian girl. His family background is much nobler, but people still dislike him. Although the title of earl is nothing in the capital, he still eats the imperial salary. He is a decent man, and he will have a royal order in the future. However, if there is a wife, how can I get the third uncle? What about it?" Su Yue said quietly.

In the end, Mrs. Uncle persuaded her uncle to force Zhang Yuan to divorce her because she had not given birth to her for many years and refused to let her husband take care of her child.

Zhang Yuan was naturally unwilling, and in the end the couple took on an unfilial title and were kicked out by Uncle Yongchang, so the title of title would naturally not fall to Zhang Yuan in the future.

"It would be great if it was true that kindness and righteousness are severed. My husband has never thought about titles. It's not bad for us husband and wife to live in peace, but how can people's greed and evil thoughts be cut off with a clean knife."

When Su Yue said this, her eyes turned red again.

"I'm not sad about leaving the uncle's house. I have parents and money, so I don't have to worry about living a bad life. Indeed, the past two years have been the most comfortable for me. But the only bad thing is that my husband's condition worsened. The extension of medical treatment did not improve, it only got worse."

She picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, not daring to lose her composure, and continued: "During this period, the women are still taking care of Suyue Cloth Village. In fact, parents have mentioned that the cloth farm will be transferred to my name." , but I was afraid that the uncle's house would be entangled, so I didn't let it go, I didn't expect them to leave me so soon."

"How did they get away?" Li Li didn't know about this.

Su Yuedao: "During the Qingming period, the two elders went back to their hometown to worship their ancestors, but on the way back they met bandits, and both of them were killed. The corpses were sent back by the government not long ago, but the bandits are still under arrest."

Li Li tapped on the table with her fan, then signaled Su Yue to continue.

"The house leak happened to be raining all night, and my father and mother had just finished their funeral affairs. Three days ago, my husband couldn't bear it and left... The Yongchang uncle's mansion snatched my husband's body while I was negotiating with my relatives... "Speaking of this, she couldn't bear it anymore, sobbed softly, and the maid beside her hurriedly comforted her softly.

Hearing the depressing cry, several men in the hall couldn't help but sigh, thinking that this woman is too miserable.

However, this is clearly not enough.

In this world, a lonely woman with no husband, no parents, a completely different body, but pregnant with huge wealth is like a piece of fat waiting to be slaughtered, attracting the covetousness of the wolves around, wishing to devour her and embezzle all her property .

Under the care of the Su family's father and daughter, Suyue Cloth Village has already gained a small reputation. The distinguished ladies and ladies in the capital love to go there to find materials to make clothes, and there are also many embroiderers who make clothes, looking like Novelty, it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to say that the daily progress is strong.

"At this time, Uncle Yongchang did not admit that he kicked our husband and wife out of the house. He said that quarrels are common in the family. There is no need to get angry. The uncle's house is willing to accept me. If the third uncle gives birth to a son in the future, he can adopt one to my husband. But Why, my husband passed away so early, and Uncle Yongchang's cold heart and lungs are one of the reasons. How could a commoner girl use the property left by my parents to raise a group of hungry wolves!"

There was resentment in Su Yue's eyes.

"There is another side." Li Li said.

"Yes, there is another side, which is even more hateful." Su Yue sneered, with deep contempt in her eyes, "When the civilian girl was born, my mother hurt her body and could no longer have children. Those uncles and relatives wanted my father Na Xiaosheng’s son, my father and mother love each other deeply, and they don’t want to treat me badly, so they refused. They also thought about their stepson and nephew, but my father still didn’t agree. After that, they turned against each other. Grandfather and grandmother were gone before the birth of the daughter, and the family property They have been separated for a long time, and they can't control the father. But now the father and mother left, they popped up one by one, saying that when the father and mother returned to their hometown, they had agreed to adopt a second uncle's youngest son, and even changed the family tree. Even when doing funeral affairs, rushing to throw pots and flags... I... I'm so anxious! My father said that Suyuebuzhuang is my dowry, and even if I want to adopt, I will discuss it with me in advance. How could it be Agree casually?"

"Now that my husband's bones are still cold, Uncle Yongchang refuses to go to the funeral and forces me to agree. The uncle in the family covets the Su family's property! My lord, I am really desperate. Su Yuebu Village is my father's painstaking efforts. I will not do it anyway." Watch it fall into the hands of these people!"

"However, according to the laws of Dayan, since the Su family clan put your second uncle's youngest son under your father's name on the genealogy, he is a stepson. After throwing pots and flags, it is more justified. Since Su Yuebuzhuang has not been under your name , it belongs to your father’s inheritance, and your father has no son, so he should be able to inherit it. As a married woman, you can only get one-third of it at most, and the other two-thirds belong to him.”

Li Li calmly pointed out that although he felt that the household laws in this area were simply unreasonable, he had never taken care of him before he was alive, cried a few times after his death, threw pots and banners, and then gathered his clan relatives to change the genealogy to become a stepson and get most of the money. property, that is too easy, right?

No wonder he wants to have a son!

But this is wrong, what is the difference between men and women, don't they all give birth to themselves?Like Su Yue, he is much better than an ordinary son. Besides, without a son, it is the last wish of the deceased to inherit the daughter!

"Minnv would rather use all her property as advertising fees than agree with this matter, and make them cheap!" Su Yue said ruthlessly, "Even if the cloth house is not guaranteed, even if you are pointed at and scolded in the next life, the people I want the world to see how ugly these people's faces are, and how disgusting their interests are."

She said and knelt down to Li Li: "My lord, I know that the gossip tabloids are trying their best to break their promises, and the women swear that everything they said today is true. Afterwards, you will enter the animal realm, and you will not be reincarnated into a human womb!"

This oath can be described as vicious, but even so, Li Li will not listen to it or believe it.

The purpose of gossip tabloids is to tell the truth, and he will send people to verify these things.

But from the way he sees people, Su Yue should be telling the truth, and this woman is so strong and pitiful.

"Get up, there are still a few questions, the king has to ask."

"Yes, the girl must answer truthfully." Su Yue said.

"The first question, Su Yuebu Zhuang, your father wants to make a dowry for you. Is there any evidence for this statement, and is there any written evidence?"

Su Yuedao: "Several storekeepers of the cloth village have heard that in the past two years, my father has actually not cared much about the business of the cloth village, and it is all run by women."

"Okay, the second question, Uncle Yongchang kicked you out, which means separation of the family, is Mrs. Yongchang's dowry in your hands?"

Su Yue shook her head: "No, in fact, the mother-in-law's dowry has been squandered all these years, so where can it be left for us?"

"Is there any evidence? There should be a list of the dowry."

"This... I'm ashamed to say that I don't have this list. Actually, I asked, but my mother-in-law's natal family has been run down and there is no one left. Otherwise, I wouldn't let my husband be kicked out of the house."

"The third question, since your father had a bad relationship with the clan, why did Qingming go back this time? Is it a temporary decision, or are there other reasons?"

Su Yuedao: "Second uncle wrote to say that the graveyard of grandparents seeped water and needs to be relocated."

"Okay, one last question. How long did it take for your parents to be mourned after the accident? When did the clan members arrive?"

After thinking for a moment, Su Yue said: "The funeral was delivered on the third day when the government office sent it, and they... arrived on the second day, otherwise they wouldn't have let them mess around and rush to throw the basin!"

Li Li nodded: "I'm done asking, you can go back. I'm afraid that the first issue of your tabloid will not be finished, and you may have to follow up the report. If it is published, be prepared to be accused or even insulted."

Su Yue sniffed, got up and said: "Don't worry, my lord, I'm completely dressed, there's nothing to be afraid of, at worst, I'll leave with my husband and mother."

"Life is precious, don't take it lightly, otherwise, wouldn't it be cheaper for those people?" Li Li sighed softly.

Su Yue smiled miserably when she heard the words: "Thank you, my lord."

Then she left.

As soon as she left, several editors put down their pens and looked at Li Li.

The latter supported his head with a fan as if thinking, when suddenly he called out, "Zhu Run."

Zhu Run immediately stood up: "The little one is here."

"Our tabloid opened another column called People's Voices, and put this matter in detail here."

Zhu Run hesitated and said, "My lord, that headline..."

"The headline introduces the column of people's voices. Since it is called the people, it is naturally set up for the poor. As long as you are a citizen of the Great Swallow, if you have any grievances and dissatisfaction, you can go to our tabloid to confide in our tabloids. Although there is no guarantee that it will be resolved But it can attract more people’s attention, and if it can be paid attention to by the court, this is also a good thing. Especially vulnerable groups, women, children and young children, it can be regarded as another way to fight for them.”

In fact, the newspaper that Li Li really wants to run should be this kind of newspaper, to speak out for the people at the bottom, to let the ruling class lower their eyes to see the people's livelihood, and to supervise the court on behalf of thousands of people, not to do anything wrong, to stop useless and abusive government orders, to become A bridge of communication between the two parties.

And those initial entertainment lace news were just a means for him to strengthen the tabloid.

"However, women like Su Yue rarely have time. They are more of those who have been wronged and admit it silently." As an old employee of the gossip tabloid, Zhu Run has seen too many such things, although they have not published them, but In the news sent by the screening reporters, you can see a lot.

The length of the people's family is nothing more than these things.

Li Li looked out of the window, but said in his mouth: "It doesn't matter, since there is her first, there will be a second, besides women, there are also elderly people who are kicked around by their children, laborers who are bullied, Farmers whose land has been encroached upon by landlords, honest people who have been blackmailed... There will always be people who can’t bear it any longer and will burn the boat. So we must do a good job in this report, so as not to disappoint people.”

He withdrew his gaze, looked at everyone in the room, smiled slightly, and then ordered: "Zhu Run, send more reporters over, ask the neighbors in the neighborhood, and the shopkeeper of Suyuebuzhuang, and see what they think about it." Su Yue's evaluation and the ownership of Buzhuang"

"Yes, my lord."

"Donglai, let Xigo send someone to investigate the dowry list of Mrs. Uncle Yongchang, and secretly check the use. Let Beihang send people to the place where Su's father and Su's mother happened to find out which robber did it. "

"Yes, my lord."

Lan Zhou listened, and suddenly asked: "What does the lord mean, there is something hidden behind the death of Su Yue's parents?"

Li Li said with a smile: "It's just a guess. Since the accident didn't happen in Suzhou, how did the Su family get the news so quickly on the way, and they can still catch up with the funeral?"

"Will someone tell me?"

"That's unknown, so let's check it out. Check out the people who are the happiest in this matter. According to experience, you can always find out something surprising but reasonable."

The kindness of human nature can go to the extreme, and there is no lower limit to the evil of human nature. This is the most profound experience of being a reporter.

"After that, I have to ask Commander Fan, who just took office, to let his subordinates go to Yongchangbo's Mansion and Su's House if there is anything to do. The uniform of the imperial army is still very deterrent. Zhang Yuan's death must be done as soon as possible. Finished, the weather is hot, the corpse is going to stink, and the rest, just take it easy."
