Chapter 87 Dongfeng Dongfeng
The next day, when Xue Biao returned to the academy, he told Chen Heng that the money was ready.

Chen Heng also clenched his fists excitedly, now everything is ready, the only thing he owes is the east wind.

It's just that how to find Dongfeng is indeed a troublesome matter.Chen Heng thought for a while, and knew that this matter must be done beautifully.

After half a day of class, Chen Heng took Xue Biao to the mountain house and asked him to ask for leave.

Pei Huaizhen just nodded lightly. As early as two years ago when Chen Heng tossed out of Jing'an Wenshe, he could see the restlessness in this kid's bones.

"What are you going to do this time?"

Chen Heng hesitated and said, "I dare not talk to the head of the mountain before the matter is completed. If it can be accomplished, it will definitely be a good thing for the country and the people."

"Are you trying to overwhelm me with Huatou?" Pei Huaizhen chuckled.

Chen Heng didn't dare to answer these words, he quickly raised his hand and said with a smile: "It's the head of the mountain who has taught us well, and has always made us put the people of the world first. Students want to do something."

After saying this, Chen Heng looked nervously at Pei Huaizhen who was sitting, fearing that the other party would say no.This look made him see some sad things.

In the past five years, Pei Huaizhen has aged a lot.Not only the hair has become whiter, but also the age spots on the face have increased.

Time will smooth people's edges and corners, and it will also make people look away from many things.

When Chen Heng first met Shanzhang, although he had been an official for a long time, he still carried the majestic aura of being an official butcher, which made people feel intimidated.Don't dare to make mistakes rashly.

But now Pei Huaizhen is more and more like the head of an academy.Such a statement may be a bit strange.

Chen Heng could only say that if he made such a request before letting go, the head of the mountain would definitely look at him silently until he left in a hurry without saying a word.

"How long are you going to ask?"

"Hard to say."

"Will you leave the city?"

"I don't know."

After several questions and answers, Pei Huaizhen was not angry either.He put his hands on the two of them and asked, "I'm worried about you two. I'll send someone to protect you."

This... Do I need to bring a bodyguard?Chen Heng scratched his head, but he also knew that if he didn't agree to this request, he might not be able to get out.Immediately nodded and said: "Students understand, Master Xie cares."

Pei Huaizhen sat down, raised her hand and wrote a note, asking them to take it to Jia Yucun.Seeing that the two brats were about to step out the door, he still couldn't help saying from his seat: "Don't run too far."

"Yes, Chief Shan."

When Chen Heng and the two walked out with a smile, Pei Huaizhen was free to look at the back of her hand.Wrinkled and aging skin, there was a time when it was fine and smooth.

Getting old, Pei Huaizhen shook her head.The reason why he agreed to Chen Heng's request was because when he was young, he was also a very troublesome master.

Otherwise, as the No. [-] scholar, say something nice.Even in the period of the Supreme Emperor, the powerful ministers were in power.It's not like spending more than ten years abroad, until you meet His Majesty, you have a chance to show your ambitions.

A thousand-mile horse comes from the mountains, and a phoenix will not be trapped in a cage.

Really talented people often like to toss more than ordinary people.

Pei Huaizhen understands this truth, and also loves Chen Heng's tossing energy, and she doesn't want to fold his wings and become an honest and well-behaved nerd.

Chen Heng on the other end took the note and went straight to Jia Yucun's room.Speaking of Jia Yucun is also interesting, he is clearly a treacherous hypocrite in the book, but now after getting along with him, he only sees the other side who is knowledgeable and humorous.

After reading the note, Jia Yucun asked curiously, "What are you two trying to do this time?"

No matter what happens to the other party in the future, he is now the Xuezheng of the academy and his teacher.Chen Heng said politely: "It's just some trivial matters. The students suddenly have an idea, and want to drag the senior brother to toss and toss together."

Jia Yucun knew that the kid wasn't telling the truth, so he didn't ask any more questions, and just told him, "I'm back, I have to make up my homework."

"Yes." Chen Heng and Xue Biao nodded together.

"Go, go." Jia Yucun didn't make any attempt to persuade him to stay, but only gave a final order, "If you encounter trouble, immediately go to the government office to hide, and ask the office worker to bring a message back to the academy, and you must not fight with others."

"Students save money, learn to be positive."

After bidding farewell to the two teachers, Chen Heng and Xue Biao stepped out of the academy directly.The students had passed their breath a long time ago, and when they were away these few days, Jiang Yuanbai and Qian Dayou would help them write down their daily homework assignments.

As soon as the two walked out of the gate, they saw an all-too-familiar figure yawning at the gate.

"Brother Su Zhao?"

Chen Heng just exclaimed, Xue Biao's eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Brother Heng."

Xin Suzhao also frowned to say hello, happy that he was able to jump out of the academy, but also a headache because of Xue Biao's company on the road.

Xin Suzhao has a heroic and handsome appearance, a slender figure, a tiger back and a waist, and a pair of arms hanging down by his side. Even though he is wearing a loose robe, he can still see his strong lines.It's like the young general who came out of the painting.

"I didn't expect the person sent by the head of the mountain to be you." Chen Heng said happily.

Xin Suzhao raised an eyebrow, and said with a smile: "Isn't that right, besides me, the Wannian Ding class, who else in the academy can accompany you to toss around."

What do you call?Xue Biao curled his lips, this kid, can't you see that there are two people standing in front of you?

Chen Heng looked to the left and then to the right, and couldn't help but touch his forehead.It's broken, I'm afraid this journey will not be smooth.

But it's a done deal, and it's useless to think about changing it.Chen Heng had no choice but to be caught in the middle, and began to pretend to be stupid, "Let's go, let's go to the printing shop first."

Xue Biao was about to speak, but Xin Suzhao was already ahead of him, and said with a smile: "Okay, brother Heng can do whatever he says, brother will listen to you."

My God, Chen Heng couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Fortunately, on the way out, the two did not have any disputes. Only one of them talked, and the other shut up.Just like the two children who were at odds, Chen Heng didn't bother to take care of them and let them go.

When he came to the printing shop, Chen Heng met several old craftsmen, and told them his requirements for the newspaper one by one.Metal movable type printing has been popular since the previous dynasty, but it has not yet become mainstream.So far, there have been no technical difficulties.

Seeing several old craftsmen pat their chests to ensure that there is no problem, Chen Heng immediately pulled the two together and went out to find the Dongfeng he wanted.

The first stop for the three of them was Daming Temple, where there were many pilgrims and there were many stalls at the entrance.There are fortune tellers, family letter writers, biscuits sellers, and scholars who come here to sell calligraphy and paintings. It is really a bustling business.

"Brother Heng, what are we looking for?"

The three of them sat in the tea shop by the roadside for a long time, and the pot of tea almost ran out.Xin Suzhao also pricked up his ears. He still knows what the newspaper Hengdi is going to run is.

"It can make people feel novel, and it will be remembered after seeing it." Chen Heng couldn't explain the meaning of hot spots, so he had to lengthen the content.

"Isn't it enough to have your new work?" Xue Biao continued to ask, Xin Suzhao also knew about Chen Heng's "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio", so there was no need to deliberately avoid concealing it.

Chen Heng shook his head, "After all, it's the first edition, everything starts over, I still want to do better."

If everyone just opens the newspaper for the story, the attractiveness of the newspaper will inevitably decline over time.If newspapers want to be really promoted, they need to cultivate everyone's interest in reading other content.

Good habits start from the very beginning.

Chen Heng dragged the two of them to sit hard at the gate of Daming Temple for another half an hour, and then immediately changed to the second stop.They turned around and came to the gate of the Yamen in Yangzhou, watching the people coming in and out.

I don't know if the government office is too efficient in handling affairs, or the people who come here are all for trivial matters.After more than an hour, the five or six people who went in and out all went in with sad faces and came out with wide smiles.

Xin Suzhao saw that Chen Heng was getting anxious, and said, "Brother Heng, if you want to see someone complain, you have come to the wrong place."

"Oh?" Chen Heng asked a little puzzled, "How do you say that?"

Xue Biao also turned his head and listened silently.

"The gate of the government office, how can ordinary people come here." Xin Suzhao pointed his finger, his father is an official, and he knows the way here very well, "An ordinary person who dares to bother the magistrate for nothing, the county magistrate will also hate this kind of person deeply."

"If you really want to see people sue, you have to go to the Fukuo County Government Office. The gate there is so lively."

The so-called Fukuo County is like Wanping County in the capital.Although it belongs to one city, the counties under the jurisdiction of each neighborhood are different.One of Fukuo counties in Yangzhou is Jiangdu County.

Only then did Chen Heng suddenly realize, and after saying thank you a few times, he hurried out to stop a few bearers, and carried the three of them to the Jiangdu county government office.

Once here, there are indeed many more people at the gate of the county government office than in the government office.

Chen Heng happily borrowed two benches from the shop next door, and pulled the two of them to sit at the door.Seeing someone gathering and discussing at the gate of the county government office, Chen Heng went up to listen in silence.

It's a pity that the questions I heard were all trivial matters.Chen Heng was a little dissatisfied. Apart from letting Xue Biao take notes, he chose to continue waiting.

After three consecutive days like this, Xin Suzhao was really dazzled and couldn't figure out what kind of thing Hengdi wanted.

"How about changing another place?" Xue Biao gave his suggestion, and Jiangdu is not the only county under Yangzhou City.

Chen Heng shook his head, his family will be sending things over in the next two days, and he cannot leave Yangzhou for the time being.

"Wait another two days, after my father has delivered something, we will go to the nearby counties."

Xin Suzhao was overjoyed on the spot, and was finally able to leave Yangzhou for a walk.

At this time, Chen Heng's eyes that swept to the distance suddenly lit up.

In his field of vision, there was a man pacing back and forth at the gate of the county government office, with a sad look in his eyes, it seemed that something was wrong.But the other party looked like he wanted to advance but dared not enter, and he wanted to retreat and regretted it, so he was in big trouble.

　The second update is here, and the third update is on the way.Hahahahaha, be there on time before one o'clock.
