Retrograde for thousands of years

Chapter 69 Black

In a teahouse not far from Beijing Times, Master Qingxu was sitting in an elegant room.From here, you can see everything happening in the Beijing Times, and in front of Master Qingxu, an elegant-looking old man is pouring tea for Master Qingxu.

The day before yesterday, the meeting between Master Qingxu and Zhou Huan was not harmonious. Of course, this is normal.

The 50-year-old Qingxu Zhenren is not interested in the gaudy novels written by Zhou Huan. He thinks there is something wrong with Zhou Huan's character. Zhou Huan thinks that Qingxu Zhenren's brain has turned into granite, so the old man should not point fingers at new media. .

After the two met and exchanged a few polite words, Zhou Huan rejected Master Qingxu's proposal to inject capital again to acquire the shares of Beijing Times, giving the Wudang Clan more than half of its shares.

It's not because of money, but because he needs Beijing Times to complete the subsequent plans. The Wu-Tang Clan has taken control of Beijing Times, and the advertisement in the lower right corner of the front page will soon disappear. Even if there is an agreement, what will happen?
There are many cases where the management of another world was kicked out by the acquirer and everything was changed. Of course, money is also very important, because he felt that the price given by Qingxu Zhenren was too low.

Zhou Huan also needs money. If Tang Yunniang cannot be found in the newspaper, then the next plan will require a lot of money.

In the eyes of Qingxu Zhenren, the Wudang Sect has sheltered the Beijing Times and withstood the pressure of public opinion from both the government and the opposition, so it deserves to occupy more things. The Wudang Sect's food appearance is already very good. If it encounters other sects, it will be a long time ago. He swallowed Zhou Huan and Jinghua Times in one gulp, leaving no bones left.

The two parties broke up unhappily, and then someone from the Ministry of Rites came to the door.

"Real person, Wang Huan is a proud and arrogant person. Now he has soared to the sky. Our current suppression is for his own good. I believe he will understand the Wudang Sect's painstaking efforts."

The old man is Qian Shilang of the Ministry of Rites and a good friend of Master Qingxu. They have known each other for 30 years, but Master Qingxu has always felt uneasy.

Ever since Grand Master Zhou Huan established the Taoist tradition, in the past 200 years, countless amazing and talented masters have emerged in the world, many of whom seemed to be deviants at the time, or thorns in the sect.

Many of them died silently, but there were always a few who succeeded. Afterwards, it seemed that the dispute at that time was actually the fault of the old antiques in the sect.

Master Qingxu doesn't like Zhou Huan. He has done so since he suppressed his nausea and watched The Legend of the Condor Heroes. However, he cannot deny Zhou Huan's ability. No matter who it is, he can create such a big industry in three months out of thin air. They all have arrogant capital.

Even if he succeeded by relying on that kind of hype and gimmicks, it shows that he has a certain level of strength.

"There is a Jiaofang Division under the Ministry of Rites. Many women from official families appear to be harder than rocks before they fall into it, but after they get there..."

Qian Shilang smiled and said to Master Qingxu, "If someone can lend a helping hand in the future, they will regard the rescuer as their top priority. From then on, they will be extremely docile, loyal and willing to work."

"I……"

Master Qingxu hesitated for a long time, and finally did not stand up. Instead, he watched the people from the Ministry of Etiquette walk into the newspaper office and looked at all the things that came out inside. Then he turned his head suddenly and looked at Minister Qian.

"Qian Laosan, what you said at the beginning was not about damaging the newspaper office and injuring the employees?"

"The people who do these things are vulgar people. When they come out, I will reprimand them properly. Don't be in a hurry, let's watch the show first."

Qian Shilang said calmly, but secretly laughing at Wudang Sect Master Qingxu's idiot.

Qingxu Zhenren, who grew up in the Wudang sect, didn't really know what this sentence meant.

There is a fable in the far west, a story about a camel.

A camel expressed its unwillingness to sleep outside the tent. It first asked the owner to put its nose into the tent to warm it up, and the owner agreed. Then it asked the owner to put its front legs in, and the owner agreed again. Finally, it did not ask for the owner's permission. , the whole body squeezed in, pushed the owner outside, and occupied this small tent alone.The government is like the camel's nose. How many wealthy families have been ruined by a small lawsuit. At first, some people in the family believed that the government could help, so their own family started to file lawsuits. They thought that it would be a little bit... The advantage is that the government can help him, but he didn't expect how big the government's appetite is.

The former Qingjing Master was very smart. Although he had differences with Zhou Huan, he firmly supported Zhou Huan externally and absolutely did not allow external forces to interfere. In this way, the Ministry of Rites and others were forced by the strength of the Wudang Sect and could only deal with this piece of fat. The meat keeps hanging out.

But who would have thought that when Master Qingxu came to the imperial capital, not only did he break up with Zhou Huan, but he was also persuaded by the government to give up his protection of Wang Huan and let the government go in to repair Zhou Huan.

Let the government people fix someone a little, it is best to arrest this person in the Yamen... I don't know how many times Qian Shilang has seen this example in his more than 50 years, and then after the government arrests that person , immediately bite and arrest people, cause a big case, and then swallow up the entire industry.

Of course, many of those who sue the officials think that they are from a family of farmers and scholars, or a family of officials, with a certain backing, and they can at most contribute a small amount of money to support the government, but the results will make them shocked.

As for the Wu-Tang Clan’s regrets afterwards?They gave up their protection for Zhou Huan, so why should they tell the Jianghu masters that they conspired with the government to annex Zhou Huan's property, or that they were killing officials and rebelling?

At this moment, an exclamation came from the newspaper office opposite. Lang Wannian jumped back and forth like a monkey, and a bloody human head fell at Lang Wannian's feet. That person was a distant relative of Minister Qian!

Oops, things are getting serious!

the other side.

In Zhou Huan's hand, there was a short knife only one foot long. The clear light flowed like a bright moon.

This was a sharp weapon hanging in the study or hidden in a woman's arms. Now in Zhou Huan's hands, the head of a court official was taken away!

"Brother Wang, stop, don't do anything!"

Qingmeng's voice came from behind, but Zhou Huan only had a sneer on his lips. Qingmeng's every move just now made him understand what happened.

The words of Master Qingxu the day before yesterday were very clear. He also hoped that Zhou Huan would understand how much Wudang Sect paid behind the scenes, and told him that if it were another sect, let alone property, Zhou Huan's life would be in danger now.

In the past two days, many people persuaded Zhou Huan to bow his head to Daoist Qingxu, the Wudang faction's requirements were not high, etc. Zhou Huan should actually be grateful.

Pooh!
When Zhou Huan was a child, he watched gangster movies. The gang bosses in them were so righteous that it seemed as if the earth would not turn around without them and the world would fall into darkness. However, the ending of the story was often that the gang bosses died from the gunshots of the police or their companions. Well, there is no happy ending.

Zhou Huan was very confused and asked his father why those people died like this and why didn't the director leave them a way to survive?
When Zhou Huan grew up, he realized that there are no good underworld bosses, only those who deserve to die and those who die immediately. People of that era firmly believed that evil will be punished, and the audience did not like those bastards who were still alive in the end. , so they only have a dead end.

Will the businesses from whom they charge protection fees be grateful to them?Will those being extorted be grateful to them?Will the families who were beaten and smashed be grateful to them?
This gangster is very moral, charges reasonable fees, and doesn't mess around very much. We should be grateful to them, etc.?

Pooh!
Cooperation is cooperation, and the principle is the principle. If a weak person cooperates with a strong person, and he is grateful because the other party did not kill him and rob him, but he bends his knees unconsciously, that is the personality of a slave.

Zhou Huan is not a slave, so he will not be squeezed and extorted and still think that the other party is reasonable.

Failure to reach an agreement is of course suppression. It’s like some gangsters see the formal industry making money and feel that the money collected is less, so they come over and say that without our help, you can’t make so much money at all. Now you can raise more money. , or simply want to take shares, etc.

People in this era think this way, and they think it is right. Even if he wants to do business, he must take the initiative to give shares to the Wu-Tang Clan to seek protection.

At this moment, Zhou Huan suddenly understood what the system said about why there were no heroes in the feudal era. In such an era, the real heroes did not want to change the world or let society evolve, but they were playing with the beauty of the country and the princes and ministers. What hero?
When a hero talks about his heart, he also needs to talk about his results!
