hunter's daughter-in-law

Less than two days after the newspaper was published, it aroused heated discussions among the townspeople of Chang'an Town. More and more people expressed their views on the news that was highlighted, and even argued fiercely with strangers.

In fact, this topic was deliberately provoked by Lou Xiao and Zhang Jin's "water army", so that more people could pay attention to the newspaper.

"Have you read "Chang'an Weekly"?" In the restaurant, a man in gray clothes about 30 years old asked his friend.

"Look. It's really novel and tight!"

"Tsk tsk, have you read the news about Wujiacun's malicious wounding? I heard that after the prisoner was arrested, his son was almost sold by his uncle!"

"It really happened?" His friend's eyes widened, "The prisoner's brother is so inhuman!"

"Brother, what are you talking about?" Someone heard their conversation and came over curiously, "I heard you talking about a prisoner just now?"

"That's right. There is a villager named Wu Dachang in Wujia Village. He was convicted of maliciously injuring a child and sent to prison. His son was left unattended and was almost sold by his uncle." The gray-clothed man replied.

The people who just came over didn't understand why they looked sympathetic, so they said, "This person who hurt the child is really vicious, and he deserves to be caught in prison! Although his son is innocent, it may be good to be taught by that kind of father." Where are you going!"

The friend looked at him disapprovingly, "Brother, you don't know something!"

The two then told him what happened.

In the Xia Kingdom, it is difficult to conceive an heir, and it often takes years for the husband and wife to bear fruit.Relatively, the birth rate is not very high. In order to solve the population problem, Xia people have made a lot of contributions to increase the birth rate and reduce the premature death rate over the years.The imperial court promulgated a series of laws, similar to the modern "Child Protection Law", one of which is that children who break the law before they reach the age of 10 will not be punished by law, and adults who maliciously harm children will be severely punished.

The news collected by Li Li told about Wu Dachang, a villager in Wujia Village. One day, he and his old father went back to the village on the only way they had to pass. A cow happened to be grazing on the side of the road.

At that time, a 7-year-old kid named Wu Zicai lit a firecracker behind the cow's tail as a prank.The cow was frightened by the explosion of the firecrackers and fled crazily, rushing towards the two people walking on the road.

Wu's father was killed on the spot, and Wu Dachang was also injured.

After reacting, Wu Dachang saw that his old father was actually killed by this little boy. The filial man lost his mind in anger and slapped Wu Zicai hard.Wu Zicai cried so much that he became deaf in one ear.

Wu Zicai's two fathers and mother were also not easy to mess with. When they saw their son was deaf by Wu Dachang, they were also very angry and reported the matter to the government.

Although it was Wu Zi who made the mistake first, because he was under 10 years old, the government only educated him.But Wu Dachang harming children, no matter what the reason is, is not allowed in the Xia Kingdom, so the government punished Wu Dachang severely according to the court's law, and sentenced him to five years in prison for the crime of maliciously harming children.

"So that's what happened..." The person who came over sighed after a long time, "It was my preconceived idea that Wu Dachang was wrongly blamed."

"Oh, what a world!"

When the two told the story to that person, other curious people also stretched out their ears to listen, and finally they all came over.One of the blue-clothed men sighed, "From now on, the children will have to hide!"

A white-clothed scholar at the next table replied, "This statement is wrong! This case is just an exception. The court's laws are correct. Children who are in a disadvantaged position should be protected."

"Brother!" Another scholar who had seen the news stood up dissatisfied, "The father of Wu Dachang was indirectly killed by this child! Who can deny that he is not a murderer! He made such a big mistake , It’s just an education, and when he realizes that he is innocent of murder, who can guarantee that he will not commit another crime!”

"This is just an example! If the court revokes this law, the survival of children in our Xia Kingdom will be very worrying! Anyone can easily hurt a weak child. If this is the case, where will the future of our Xia Kingdom go!?" The white-clothed scholar is not to be outdone.

"Hey, brother is so good at changing concepts! Let's talk about the matter, whether there is something wrong with the court's laws, let alone let a murderer go free, even if it is a child, the bad influence is obvious to all!"

······

Later, the two scholars argued more and more intensely. In the end, almost the entire restaurant was watching. Those who knew the details couldn't help but participate. There were really no serious eaters. The factor of joining in the fun was common everywhere.

This debate is a bit big. Some people who were puzzled and curious bought the newspaper, and after reading it, they had their own ideas. In this way, the differences and disputes became bigger. Basically, they were divided into two factions. One faction believed that Wu Dachang was right. , Wu Zicai should be punished, making one faction think that Wu Zicai is a child, although he made mistakes, he is an exception and should follow the court laws.

More and more people were arguing, and Chang'an Town was immediately occupied by this topic. Many people knew about "Chang'an Weekly" because of this influence, and bought it without hesitation to see what was going on.

The goal has been achieved, but Lou Xiao is not happy at all.

"Madam! Our newspapers have been sold out long ago! Those children have no copies left, and the five hundred copies in the store have also been robbed!" Uncle Wang wiped the sweat from his brow, "I don't know where they came from. After hearing the news, I know that you are the owner of the "Chang'an Weekly", so a large group of people who didn't buy it gathered around the door of our store to buy it and refused to leave!"

Lou Xiao frowned, he was very happy to sell all of them, but what happened to the shops around them!

"Let's go and have a look!" Lou Xiao walked into the store.

Before I got close, I heard shouting, "Why hasn't Boss Lou come out yet!? We want to buy newspapers!"

After Lou Xiao appeared, he saw many people gathered around the door of the store, so he said, "I'm sorry, the newspaper is sold out, and it will be available in seven days."

"What! Seven days! No! We want it now!"

"Boss Lou! You are so black-hearted! This Journey to the West has only been posted three times, but you want us to wait for seven days! You have to post this later!" Those who have read the novel couldn't help running over to ask for it Chapters that follow.

"Yeah! It's too much!!"

"Don't talk about what you have read, we haven't even bought it! I also want to read the news and novels that everyone has been talking about recently!"

"Boss Lou, you can't do this!"

······

Lou Xiao got a headache from the quarrel, it seems that the skill of this "water army" is too much.

"All right! I'll print 3000 more copies tomorrow! Don't shout! Also, Journey to the West has to wait until the next seven days!"

Lou Xiao ignored the protests of most people and hurriedly left the scene.

On the same day, Lou Xiao went to Zhang Jin's house and complained to Zhang Jin, "The 'Shuijun' hired here is too powerful! Our 'Xiao Zhai' almost couldn't even open a store!"

Zhang Jin chuckled, "It will definitely not be like this in the future. This is the first time a newspaper has appeared, and it has aroused heated discussions among scholars and the market. It's not surprising that those who haven't bought it are eager to find out."

"What! There are so many people asking me for Journey to the West that I can't clean my ears! Those regular customers come one by one, and I'm the only one avoiding you these days!"

"Thanks for your hard work!" Zhang Jin knew the feeling of having his appetite hung up but not being satisfied. His heart was itchy, but he couldn't get what he wanted. An impatient person was going crazy.

Seeing Lou Xiao surrounded by this group of people, Zhang Jin believed in the charm of "Journey to the West", so Lou Xiao must have been annoyed too much.

"Then tell Li Mingyin, you can stay at our house for a few days and bring Xiaotuanzi along."

"Okay, let's take a rest." Lou Xiao nodded in agreement, and planned to discuss with Li Mingyin later, considering whether to ask him to come too, because the first advertisement was published, and the popularity of the newspaper also drove "Xiao Zhai" The business was already very good, but this time it sold even faster. The dim sum made by Li Mingyin was in short supply, and he didn't catch his breath today.

After discussing with the Fangke people to print another 3000 newspapers, Lou Xiao then handed over the follow-up work to Uncle Wang.In fact, their newspapers are not cheap. Due to the technical limitations here, their newspapers are sold for 5 cents a piece. From the beginning, the customer group they targeted was not particularly large, and they wanted to take their time.Affected by various factors this time, it was completely beyond expectations.

Uncle Wang kept 500 copies of the newspaper in the store, and distributed the rest to the children for them to sell.After tasting the sweetness, they immediately ran to the street actively. This newspaper is simply too easy to sell!They can get a commission!

3000 newspapers have eased the demand. Chang'an Town has a large population. It is a relatively affluent town in Xiaguo, and everyone's spending power is still good.

The hot discussion on the news about Wujia Village has not subsided in the past few days, and it even caused scholars to use articles to distinguish between high and low.

After Zhang Jin knew about it, he asked Uncle Wang and the others to pay attention to it, and collected the wonderful ones.

Journey to the West has also been noticed by more people. Such a novel novel has aroused the love of many people. Some rich wives and young masters in Chang'an Town have a copy.The usual pastimes have not changed. The appearance of Journey to the West has allowed them to find a new way to pass the time. The plot is exciting and ups and downs, but what is unbearable is that it is only posted three times every seven days.Those who knew or were familiar with Lou Xiao all rushed to the door to urge them.After no results, I can only discuss the next plot or experience with some ordinary friends.

Therefore, Lou Xiao's decision was wise, and he hid at Zhang Jin's house.

What Zhang Jin was worried about before was because he was afraid that this topic would cause dissatisfaction from the government. Lou Xiao said that it was all right, so he was relieved.Before either of them knew it, their newspaper rescued a young boy.

That is Wu Dachang's son, obviously.The grandfather who loved me died, my father was arrested, and my mother and father were gone a long time ago. Obviously, these days are very miserable.

Wu Zicai's father and mother will make things difficult for him from time to time, and there is also an uncle with white eyes.After his uncle married a mean aunt, the relationship with their family was basically broken, because they didn't want to provide for their father and treated him badly. Mingming's father, Wu Dachang, took on this responsibility alone.

Unexpectedly, when such a thing happened, Mingming's uncle and aunt scolded Mingming's father in turn, saying that he did not take good care of the old man and cost the old man's life. all savings.In the end, the villagers paid some money and buried the old man.

Mingming is only 5 years old and doesn't understand anything. After his father was taken away, he never had a full meal. The villagers sometimes gave him something to see him pitifully, but Wu Ziming's parents often stopped him by rascals. with.

Later, Mingming's aunt contacted Yazi, planning to sell Mingming without knowing it, even if Wu Dachang came out, just tell him that his son died of illness.

But Wu Dachang's friend found out and saved Mingming.

Newspapers made this incident very popular. There was a couple who hadn’t conceived for many years. After learning what happened to Mingming, they felt very sorry for the child. Finally, after some twists and turns, they adopted Mingming. They paid for Mingming sincerely and regarded him as Before Wu Dachang was released from prison, his own child had been raising him with all his heart and soul.
