Chapter 701 Piracy

Jiang Xiaoyu was overjoyed.

It turned out to be his own client.

The four streets of Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu are worthy of being the treasures of Feng Shui. They have already made a business as soon as they came here.

It looks like business will be booming today.

If every day goes smoothly like this, then I guess I can achieve my goal very quickly.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaoyu's smile grew stronger.

"Okay!" He responded happily.

After saying that, he hurried over, pulled out two newspapers still smelling of ink, and handed them to the man in front of him respectfully.

Of course it was Lei Er who paid.

"Little newsboy," he smiled as he took out the coin: "You are very discerning. By the way, what is your name, and how long have you been doing this?"

Jiang Xiaoyu rolled his eyes and quickly answered truthfully.

In the end, he continued to smile brightly.

"From the accents of the two customers, it seems that they are not locals of Xingji City. The younger one walks around Xingji City every day selling newspapers. I can't say that he knows the imperial capital well, but he is still familiar with it."

"For example, which inns are not only worthy of your status but also of high quality and low price, and which restaurants have terrible drinks and like to trick out-of-town guests..."

As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Ren Ning, knowing in his heart that this was the one who spoke.

"How about I introduce you two..."

Ren Ning smiled slightly and did not answer the question. Instead, he patted the newspaper in his hand.

"Lei Er, this newspaper looks much better in terms of paper quality, layout, and printing than what we saw last time in Hanoi County."

Lei Er was slightly startled, quickly flipped through the newspaper, and then nodded.

"What the general said is that this newspaper is heavy just to hold it in your hand, and the printed pictures and so on do look better than the ones we bought last time."

After saying that, he raised his head and looked around with interest.

"Xingji City deserves to be at the feet of the emperor. As expected, no one dares to mess around. I heard that the newspaper office that publishes this newspaper is located outside the city, so the newspapers here must be printed more beautifully."

Seeing Ren Ning and the others ignoring him, Jiang Xiaoyu was not surprised, but instead cheered up a bit.

cough.

He puffed out his chest and coughed slightly.

"Star City...the two generals have just arrived. It's normal to have such thoughts. But I have been selling newspapers for a while. I actually know a little bit about this newspaper."

"Oh?" Ren Ning and Ren Ning looked at each other dumbly.

Lei Er herrily took out a piece of silver,

"I've heard for a long time that the Imperial Capital is full of outstanding people and well-informed people, but I don't know if it's true?"

"Tell me, if it sounds like that, this piece of silver is yours."

Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Star City is the imperial capital, with high-ranking officials and wealthy families gathered everywhere.

It is said that the country bumpkins from other places are always bold in taking action in order not to show their cowardice here.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case. The scrap of silver Guanglei has on his second hand is enough for him to live comfortably for more than a month.

"Okay." Jiang Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly, "I'll tell you now."

He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he continued talking quickly.

"Two generals, you don't know. It's still early and there aren't many people on the street. It seems like no one wants the newspaper. But in fact, this newspaper is very easy to sell. It can be said that the newspaper office can't print it at all. "

"So some black-hearted gentlemen would buy a newspaper and go home to print it themselves according to the content on it."

"But they don't pay attention to the paper quality, pictures, the words and paragraphs of the article, etc. They do whatever they want. Anyway, they can sell it after printing it."

Speaking of this, he patted his chest indignantly.

"Of course, small ones will never sell those fake goods."

After all, on the surface, he was working tirelessly to sell newspapers early in the morning and at night to make money for the newspaper. In fact, it was the newspaper that gave him a stable livelihood.

Otherwise, he would still be fighting with the dog for food in the garbage dump.

Jiang Xiaoyu still knew very well what was good and what was bad.

"When you two were in Hanoi County, they probably bought this kind of garbage."

Ren Ning understood, "I see, it seems we bought a pirated version." Humph.

Lei Er snorted angrily, stuffed the broken pieces into Jiang Xiaoyu's hands, and said angrily: "These bastards really don't know how to live or die."

The printed newspapers are not only lacking in weight, but also of worrying quality.

Some even include private information, which is not only completely different from the original content but even completely opposite, which is absolutely intolerable.

The most important thing is that for every copy of these newspapers sold, he also gets a penny of income.

These bastards dared to cut in the middle, they were plotting the life of the second young master of the Lei family.

Tolerable or unbearable.

Ren Ning seemed unaware.

He chatted with Jiang Xiaoyu for a few more words, and was relieved after learning that many street children like him in slums had been mobilized by the community to make a living such as selling newspapers and cleaning.

Seeing the two of them preparing to mount their horses and leave, Jiang Xiaoyu became anxious.

He subconsciously grasped the pieces of silver that Lei Er had just given.

It's rare to see such a generous customer.

"Two generals, don't you really want me to introduce you to inns and restaurants? I promise you that the price will be fair and you will be honest."

Haha.

Lei Er has experienced many battles, so he can't be bothered by such trivial matters. The anger on his face goes away as quickly as it comes.

He threw a few broad beans into his mouth.

"Thank you, but the general and I have relatives in Star City, so we can just stay with them."

Lei Er pointed to the north and said, "Their home is right in front."

"That's it." Ahead was a gathering of rich and noble families. Jiang Xiaoyu did not dare to say anything more, so he could only wave goodbye with regret, "Two generals, take care."

Watching the two of them walk away, he hid the broken coins and cleared his throat before officially shouting.

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers!"

"The newspaper just came out today."

"Huayang County's great victory, Sulan County's great sale, and Master Hongguang's health-preserving scriptures. Come buy one and read it..."

Soon, Jiang Xiaoyu was surrounded by people.

Considered an acquaintance.

"It's so early, Xiaoyu'er. I'm here to sell newspapers again. Here's a newspaper."

"Okay." Jiang Xiaoyu chuckled, quickly took out the newspaper and handed it over, "Mr. Li, it's so early for you."

Ha ha.

"There is no way," Master Li smiled, and said casually while flipping through the newspaper, "As our ancestors said, the early bird catches the worm."

"That's right. I saw you from far away just now, but at that time you were chatting happily with two people riding tall horses. You looked familiar?"

"If the other party has any good ideas, remember to give him a thumbs up."

"What kind of acquaintances are there?" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly and shook his head. "They are just two generals who came from out of town and bought two newspapers from me."

The two happened to be traveling on the same road and had nothing to do, so Jiang Xiaoyu explained the situation.

"I just wanted to recommend some inns and restaurants to them to make some extra money. It's a pity that they have relatives in Xingji City, so they drank so much of me in vain."

"Really or not?" Master Li didn't believe it. "Seeing as you guys have been chatting for so long, they didn't say anything else?"

For some reason, Jiang Xiaoyu raised his head and glanced at the distant mansion of a wealthy family in the north, and suddenly became wary in his heart.

He shook his head quickly, "It's nothing."

"Master, you know that little beggars like us, our survival depends on our mouths. It's rare to meet guests from out of town so early in the morning. Looking at their horses, they must be either rich or noble, so I can't help but feel confused. The whole Xingji City is rambling here and there."

After saying that, he patted his pocket hehey.

"Fortunately, they gave me a small reward in the end, so it was not in vain."

"So that's it." Master Li didn't know whether to believe it or not, so he chatted for a few more words, turned around and left.

Not long after, the news that Ren Ning returned to Star City quickly spread throughout the imperial capital. (End of chapter)
