Chapter 123 Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it

It was another new day. Zhang Song went to the academy as usual. When he was walking somewhere, his eyes suddenly lit up. Sure enough, the newspaper seller from Fuyang tabloid was here again...

Although the Yangzhou official newspaper was published by the governor's office yesterday and he bought it, he gave up after just one glance.

What material is the paper made of? There is no comparison with the paper quality of Fuyang tabloid. The printing is rough and the layout is messy. As for the content... it is even worse.

The article on the front page about Yuan Yuanwai is just hypocrisy. He is a scholar, not an ordinary citizen... he is not so easy to deceive.

"I'm selling newspapers. I'm selling newspapers. You can buy a Fuyang tabloid for only three copper coins!"

shouted the newspaper boy.

After hearing this, Zhang Song was shocked and the price was reduced!

Yesterday it was five copper coins, but today it is three copper coins. Moreover, the price has been reduced after Yangzhou official newspaper priced it at three copper coins. Is this going to officially start a war?

Master Kang, the prodigal son, is really... awesome!

Zhang Song sighed and said hurriedly: "Brother, give me one!"

"The young master is here again!"

The waiter smiled and said: "Today I only need three copper coins."

"To give you money, let's pay five copper coins!"

Zhang Song took the newspaper and said, "You are selling it at a loss. Even if Master Kang is rich, he is not such a loser."

"That's not possible. It's as much as it should be!" The newspaper seller hurriedly declined.

Zhang Song had no choice but to give up. He picked up the newspaper and started reading it...

The people are the water, and the officials are the boats. The water can carry the boat, but it can also capsize it.

Seeing this title, Zhang Song was suddenly startled, and continued reading attentively...

The article is still talking about Sun Yuanwai, but it is talking about the person behind Sun Yuanwai. An official named Li is mentioned here, but there is no specific name.

But Zhang Song knew that this person was the military official of Yangzhou City, Mr. Li Yu!

The full text explains in great detail how Li helped Sun Yuanwai start his own business, and even the relationship between the two is clearly stated, as well as how much of Li’s share of Sun Yuanwai’s profits!

Big news, really big news!

Zhang Song was shocked. He didn't expect Fuyang tabloid to dare to expose this!

After reading this, Zhang Song continued to look back. He liked the Fuyang tabloid, not only because it repeatedly broke big events, but also because its other pages were also very interesting.

And today, a new section has been added, story serialization!

The name of the story is, The Legend of White Snake!

One thousand seven hundred years ago, a shepherd boy rescued a white snake from a snake catcher. In order to repay the favor of saving his life, the white snake secretly ate the elixir and cultivated the human form one thousand seven hundred years later... The shepherd boy of that time has now become a human being.

Xu Xian, a handsome, diligent and promising scholar, interprets a love story full of grudges and resentments, and a tearful love story!

After reading the introduction, Zhang Song suddenly became interested and continued reading. The first chapter, past and present life (1)...

Bai Suzhen, who lived at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, spent thousands of years cultivating this body. After attaining the Tao, she was reborn and became a human being...

Zhang Song finished reading it in one breath, and then took a deep breath. It was so exciting!

A magical and fantasy story, the White Snake repays a favor to the scholar... It's a pity that this issue of the newspaper only has the first chapter, and there is an explanation at the end that it will be serialized in every issue.

This is a real newspaper! Zhang Song sighed. He raised his head and saw that there were many people around him, all looking at the Fuyang tabloid with their heads lowered. They were just as fascinated as him!

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers! You can buy a copy of the Yangzhou official newspaper issued by the governor's office for only three copper coins!" shouted an official from the side.

He was standing not far from the Fuyang tabloid seller. It was obvious that he was deliberately targeting him, but there were no buyers around him.

"Shut up, my Fuyang tabloid is selling for three copper coins, and the quality of the paper is many times better than yours!"

"I knew that Sun Buju's matter was not that simple. They said he was Mr. Li's brother-in-law. Now it seems to be true."

"I like this story of the Legend of the White Snake. It's really good. Even though it's only the first episode, I decided to buy every issue of the Fuyang tabloid in the future just to read this story!"

"There is also a poem in this newspaper. I don't know if you have noticed it. Following the master's butt, there are no bones to stick to... Humans are like humans, but dogs are not as good as dogs!"

"I know this poem. It was written by Mr. Kang. It is said to be called Da You Shi, and it talks about Shen Linfeng..."

There was a heated discussion here, but Dong Yiwu and the others in the governor's office had livid faces. What was placed in front of them was a Fuyang tabloid!

"This prodigal son is so brave!" Dong Yiwu cursed angrily: "Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it! What does he mean?"

Li Yu's eyes were dull. It was over, it was really over now! That prodigal son really dared to write.

An official from the fifth rank, Li!

What is the difference between this and mentioning his name directly? Who else is there besides him among the officials below the fifth rank in Yangzhou City?

That prodigal son... knew it too clearly, even the amount of profit he shared every year, every sum was clear!

He clearly suspected that Wang Kang was personally involved!

"Today the Fuyang tabloid has also dropped to three copper coins..." Dong Qian gritted his teeth and said: "Is this prodigal really taking the money and not treating it as money? What is the difference between this and giving it away for free?"

"The news just arrived, no one cares about our official newspaper. At the same price, city residents have chosen Fuyang tabloid..." said an official in charge of sales.

"Should we stop lowering prices?" someone suggested.

"I'm afraid it's no longer useful. The Fuyang tabloid has added a story series. This story called The Legend of White Snake is very popular. They will definitely buy it tomorrow in order to continue reading this story..."

"Mr. Shen, can you write such a story?" Another person asked.

Shen Linfeng didn't seem to hear anyone calling him. His eyes were still on the Fuyang tabloid. To be precise, it was the poem called "Farewell to Shen So-and-so"!

The limelight has finally passed, and people have almost forgotten about it. Now this prodigal son is brought up again.

He also wrote a poem in Fuyang tabloid!

Shen Moumou, doesn't this directly remind people of him? Shen Linfeng is really about to cry, and there is no end yet!

"Father, if you had not come forward to block the Fuyang tabloid directly, Wang Dingchang would not dare to directly stop it!" At this time, Dong Qian said.

"It's useless!" Dong Yiwu shook his head, "I don't know how many Fuyang tabloids have been sold now..."

As he spoke, he looked at Li Yu, sighed and said, "I will try my best to protect you, but if I really can't..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yu knew what he meant. If you really can't save it, then you will have the same fate as your brother-in-law.

Li Yu's face was as pale as paper.

"Don't blame me. If you want to blame, just blame that prodigal son! He is even bolder than his father!"
Chapter completed!
