The big rivers and lakes that attack

Chapter 773 Zhongdu Daily
Baihudao is in the house of Zhou's family.

Zhou Wenyuan walked back and forth in the yard with his head down, talking to himself: "Ah, a strange thing, a strange thing..."

But at this moment, Zhou Lihua walked towards him angrily, and asked, "What's the matter, the restaurant in Happy Forest on Xuanwu Road is still open!"

Zhou Wenyuan said: "I don't know either. I contacted 'Xue Chan', but they refused to answer. What can I do?"

Zhou Lihua slapped him with a stack of papers in her hand, and said, "This is Mei Fengjuan's so-called commentary series, look at it, look at it!"

Zhou Wenyuan said happily: "Oh? Has Master Mei's new book come out..."

Look quickly.

Zhou Lihua hated iron and steel, and shouted: "Don't pay attention to that commentary, the corner news is what matters..."

"Oh oh, it's so thick, wait until I finish reading Master Mei's comments first... Huh? Why isn't this author Master Mei? Who is this 'Bai Xiaosheng'..."

……

In the Public Security Department of Zhongdu, Chief Officer Lu Wenping frowned, read the words in the newspaper, and after reading the content, he put it down casually, looked at Chen Mingjue who was sitting in the hall and was working, and tapped the stack newspaper.

"The things on it are a bit taboo."

Chen Mingjue raised his head in doubt, put down the pen in his hand and said, "Chief officer, this so-called "Zhongdu Daily" has also been read by the subordinates, and I don't think there is anything taboo about it."

"It's nothing more than Mei's Bookstore using this thing to serialize a commentary called "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and the others are some anecdotes from the city of Zhongdu."

"For example, which noble surname's child, with which noble surname son, is jealous because of a certain popular headliner, and there are also marriages between noble surname families, and detailed duels in the field of life and death."

"Where, what happened, where people died because of something, which gang fought with which gang, because of something, etc., and there is a promotion of which shop in the city, this thing seems to be called 'advertisement' ?”

"It's quite appropriate, let me tell you widely... Basically that's all. People in the city often gather to discuss it. The subordinates don't see anything taboo."

Lu Wenping chuckled, and said: "That's the taboo. People in Zhongdu can talk about your family's affairs in private, but they can't see them in writing and spread them widely. This makes your family's affairs difficult." Where is the dignity?"

"Go to Mei's Bookstore and tell Mei Fengjuan not to distribute these things for the time being, and erase all the things related to your family before selling them."

Chen Mingjue looked troubled, and hesitated: "Well, sir, I'm afraid it's too late, because the "Zhongdu Daily" is said to have Mei Fengjuan's new book, it came out early in the morning, and it was sold out."

"I'm afraid it has spread all over the entire city of Zhongdu now, even if it is collected, it is too late to take it back."

Lu Wenping thought for a while and said: "Well, you should go there and tell Mei Fengjuan that when this newspaper is published next time, don't write about your surname's family anymore, and other things don't matter."

"This officer is doing it for her own good. If she really offends your family, let alone selling this "Zhongdu Daily", whether she can live is a problem."

However, Chen Mingjue laughed and said: "The chief officer is worrying too much, how could Mei Fengjuan not think of these things, if no one is behind her back, she dares to disperse these things carelessly?"

Lu Wenping questioned, "You mean..."

Chen Mingjue said: "My subordinates have already investigated the business of "Zhongdu Daily". The Bai family of Jinyulou also participated in the business of "Zhongdu Daily", so you can rest assured."

"I see."

Lu Wenping nodded and said: "Since the Bai family is standing behind it, then there is no problem. We, the Department of Public Security, will not participate in the peace if we can."

Chen Mingjue flattered: "The chief officer is wise..."

……

The publication of "Zhongdu Daily" immediately attracted thousands of people, and people rushed to buy it. 50 copies of the newspaper were sold out in all major Mei's bookstores in Zhongdu in just one morning.

There were even a lot of people who couldn't buy it, and protested around the bookstore, asking for a reprint. The shopkeeper who managed the bookstore didn't expect the newspaper to sell so well, so he hurriedly reported it in surprise.

The reason for this is that Mei Fengjuan herself has a huge fan base in this capital, and many people have read her novels.

Otherwise, it would not have caused the riots of the "Chivalrous Gang" a while ago.

This time, the new book will be released in a "serial" way, and fans will naturally do their best to support her, wanting to see what kind of story she has written.

What's more, this newspaper is really cheap, a copy is only a dozen silver sentences, and the poor laborers on the Xuanwu Road can only eat a bowl of vegetable porridge for this price.

In addition, some well-known and decent spies, who did not want to be named, have used various identities to create momentum for a while, which aroused people's curiosity about new things like "newspapers".

As a result, as soon as "Zhongdu Daily" appeared, people rushed to buy it, and the sales were extremely hot. As a last resort, Mei's Bookstore had to print another 20 copies quickly.

Of course, there were also those who were dissatisfied with this newspaper. Many of them originally came for Mei Fengjuan's new book, but it turned out that the author of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was "Bai Xiaosheng".

What a bad name, I haven't even heard of it, and I feel that I have been deceived.

But the good thing is that Mei Fengjuan explained this at the beginning of the novel.

To put it simply, she has a very good friend with great literary talent, who once gave her a lot of inspiration when she was creating, and even helped to perfect the plots of many stories.

But this friend likes to keep a low profile and his reputation is not obvious, so everyone doesn't know him, but his talent is real, and Mei Fengjuan admires him.

Recently, this friend went on a trip, and when he came back, he talked about the "black disaster" 200 years ago with deep feelings, so he planned to write a novel based on the background of this era to let people understand the suffering and excitement of that era.

When her friend handed her the first draft, she was shocked, because the story is so exciting, she can't wait to promote it to readers and friends.

But this story has not been finished yet, so I can only meet you in the form of "serial".

That friend didn't want to be famous, she was a hermit, and she had discussed with her to publish it under the name of "Mei Fengjuan", but she felt that this was stealing the fruit of her friend's labor, and it was also a deception to the readers, and even more disrespectful to herself. responsible.

Therefore, after several discussions with her friend, she finally reached an agreement. The friend, who did not want to be named, wrote the novel "Biography of Heroes" under the pseudonym "Bai Xiaosheng".

Of course, the above are all vernacular. If translated into ancient Chinese, it would be "...", which is a bit difficult, so I won't translate it.
