Fortunate Young Gentleman

Chapter 492: Vicious Competition Tang Qi has been in a high position for a long time. Standing in the hall, there is an invisible aura oppressing him.

There were bruises on the young man's face. Looking at Tang Qi, his body trembled under the pressure of his momentum, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes, and he said: "No, Master said that King Kang can't hold up the wall with mud. If he waits any longer, By his side, we will fall into a deep quagmire. We originally planned to leave the capital and never come back, but you caught us..."

Tang Qi looked at him and saw that his body was shaking, his eyes were full of fear, and he was on the verge of collapse, so he waved his hand and said, "You go down first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man couldn't wait to run out of the room.

Tang Qi looked up at Tang Huai and said, "The man named Xu wants us to wait and see what happens. Brother, do you think we can trust him?"

With King Kang pressing so hard, the Tang family was naturally not unprepared at all. However, even if they wanted to resolve this desperate situation, they would have to pay a heavy price. It would be best if they could fight without losing any blood.

Tang Huai thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter if we wait a few days, just to see if he really loves us."

Tang Qi nodded and said, "Then I will tell them not to act rashly."

Tang Mansion, at the door of a wing somewhere, the young man walked into the wing, turned around and closed the door. The moment he turned back, the fear on his face disappeared without a trace, replaced by an almost indifferent calm.

He walked to the table, bowed slightly, and whispered: "Mr."

The middle-aged man named Xu looked at him and asked, "Are you okay?"

"A small injury, nothing to worry about." The young man looked at him and asked, "Sir, you are right. The Tang family will not let us leave Beijing. What should we do next?"

"Wait." Mr. Xu said calmly, "When this incident passes, someone will come and tell us..."

…

Tang family, in the pavilion.

Xiao Jue sat across from Tang Ning with her legs crossed and said, "Your father-in-law is ill at the right time. Last night, the house of the Dali Temple Shaoqing who was responsible for supervising Liu Feng's case was almost burned down. While walking on the road, he was almost hit by a speeding carriage. An official from Yushitai woke up and found several bloody handprints on the outer wall of his home..."

"Those people are so bold with their naked threats." Xiao Jue shook his head and said, "Isn't it obvious that there is something wrong in his heart?"

"It's not necessarily them." Tangning shook her head and said, "This is a case that His Majesty has paid special attention to. No matter how stupid they are, they would never do this."

"You mean this was done by King Kang?" Xiao Jue thought for a moment and nodded: "It's also possible that King Kang pursued them fiercely this time and had no intention of letting them go. King Duan suffered heavy losses this time. I don’t know if I can turn over..."

A person must know when to stop and pushing too far will not end well. Although the former King Kang was a bit reckless, he could compete with King Duan for such a long time without a few brushes.

Especially during the period when Tang Ning left the Chen Kingdom, both King Kang and King Duan had conflicts with each other. King Duan's side were all old foxes who had been hanging around in the court for who knows how long, and they had endless tricks. In this case, King Kang He didn't suffer any loss, which is enough to show that he still has some brains---but this time he couldn't see the situation clearly, which made people wonder whether his brain was eaten by a dog.

Xiao Jue thought of something and suddenly looked at him and asked, "Do you feel that something is not right between Lu Ya and your Miss Zhong in recent days?"

Tangning came back to her senses, looked at him and asked, "What happened to them?"

Xiao Jue touched his chin and asked, "Don't you think they have been spending more time together these days? When did their relationship become so good?"

Friendship between women is one of the most elusive things in the world. Is it any wonder that they can build a deep sisterly bond just by going shopping together?

However, Xiao Jue reminded him that Xiaoyi and Lu Ya have been together for a long time, will she be affected by her? Tang Ning does not want her to become as violent as Lu Ya.

Lu Ya walked over and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing..." Xiao Jue cheered up and said, "Just talk about the current situation, government affairs and so on."

Lu Ya sat next to him and asked, "I have a question for you."

Xiao Jue was refreshed and couldn't help but straighten his body and asked: "What's the problem?"

Lu Ya looked into his eyes and asked, "Who do you think is more beautiful, me or Miss Su Meisu?"

Xiao Jue said without hesitation: "You are beautiful."

Lu Ya frowned and said, "You answered so quickly. It's obvious that you are perfunctory with me."

"No." Xiao Jue shook his head repeatedly, glanced at Tang Ning, and said, "Absolutely not. You are beautiful with everyone, and you are beautiful with everyone!"

"Miss Su is the most beautiful woman in the capital. If you say she is prettier than me, you are lying to me." Lu Ya looked at him with a smile and said, "If you tell the truth, I won't be angry."

Xiao Jue looked at her and asked tentatively: "Are you really not angry?"

Lu Ya grasped the hem of her skirt with both hands and said with a smile, "Don't worry, no, I just want to hear the truth from you."

"To be honest..." Xiao Jue thought for a while, looked at her and said, "Miss Su is just a little prettier than you..."

Tangning stood up and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Although Xiao Jue has some experience now, it is obviously not enough. He was still worried that Xiao Yi was influenced by Lu Ya, but now he found that his worry was completely unnecessary.

He walked to the gate of the courtyard and heard the sound of screaming and begging for mercy from the pavilion. Just as he was about to step out, a figure hurried over and said anxiously: "Sir, there is a problem with our newspaper office. Please go and have a look!"

The location of the newspaper office is next to Tang Renzhai. When Tang Ning arrived, Tang Yaoyao had already arrived.

The entrance of the newspaper office, which should have been lined with a long queue, was now empty, while the surrounding bookstores were crowded with people.

Tang Ning walked over, looked at Tang Yaoyao, and asked: "What's going on?"

Tang Yaoyao's chest bulged with anger, and said: "I'm so angry, they are just here to mess up!"

Tang Ning asked clearly and found out that these bookstores also imitated Tang Renzhai and printed newspapers today.

He never thought that anyone would steal his newspaper business because Tangrenzhai's papermaking technology was improved, the cost was low, and the price of newspapers was also very low. From the beginning, he did not have the purpose of making a profit.

In order to facilitate reading, he also quoted punctuation marks, which were not available in other places.

Other bookstores, let alone making profits, must sell a newspaper for more than ten cents if they want to keep making a profit. With Tangrenzhai's newspapers costing one cent, naturally no one is willing to spend that money.

But he did not expect that the shopkeepers of these bookstores did not know what was wrong with their brains and actually gave away free newspapers. No matter how low the price of Tangrenzhai newspapers is, it is not as good as free ones, so the current situation has been formed. This is simply vicious competition.

The street vendor folded a newspaper and put it under a table leg. After finding that it was still a little shaky, he walked over and got another one.

An old man in coarse cloth walked past Tang Ning, holding a few newspapers in his hand, and said happily: "This thing is much more useful than toilet chips. I wonder if it will be delivered tomorrow..."

Tang Ning took a newspaper from Tang Yaoyao's hand and cast his eyes casually, only to see several headlines on it that were particularly eye-catching.

"Shocked! The shocking scandal of the Liu family's birthday banquet!"

"Heartbroken! The truth behind the investigation of more than a dozen corrupt officials!"

"The real record of the Dali Temple case, if you don't read it, you are not a Chen countryman!"

...

The paper was filled with more than a thousand words, which were concise and to the point. It focused on the birthday banquet at the home of Liu Feng, the Minister of Rites, and exposed the corruption in the court. In addition to the more than ten officials who had been convicted, the spearhead was directly pointed at other officials who participated in the birthday banquet, and at the end it called on the court to severely punish these criminal officials and restore a clear sky in the capital...

Even Tang Ning, who had seen a lot, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw these things.
