Fortunate Young Gentleman

Chapter 493: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road

For the first time since meeting King Kang, Tang Ning felt respect for him.

At least he himself didn't have the courage to do the same as King Kang. Before obtaining the imperial franchise, he would personally check every sentence and every word in the newspaper and consider it again and again.

Tang Yaoyao's chest was still heaving, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What they sent out is a lot of silver. I wonder how long they can deliver it."

I don't know if it was Tang Ning's illusion, but he always felt that the 18-year-old Tang Yaoyao seemed to have started to grow up again.

"Where are you looking at!"

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Tang Yaoyao's angry voice came over.

"Ah?" Tang Ning looked confused, as if he had just woken up from a trance, and said, "What are you looking at?"

Tang Yaoyao saw his confused look and asked suspiciously, "What were you thinking about just now?"

Tang Ning said, "I was thinking that their method can only take away our business for one day. Don't worry, the newspaper office will return to normal tomorrow."

Although he didn't know what King Kang was thinking, he dared to guarantee that if these bookstores could still open tomorrow, he would let him live under Tang Yaoyao's tyranny for the rest of his life.

For Tang Ning, who was determined to turn things around, this was already a heavy oath.

"Tomorrow?" Tang Yaoyao shook her head and said, "It's not a big loss to send them for one day. I guess they will send them for at least one month."

"I guess it's just one day." Tang Ning smiled, looked at her, and asked, "Do you dare to bet?"

Tang Yaoyao didn't hesitate and asked, "How do you bet?"

Tang Ning thought for a while and said, "Just like last time, if you win, you can let me do something, and if I win, I can let you do something. How about it?"

Tang Yaoyao looked at Tang Ning, as if she was thinking of something bad.

Tang Ning looked at her eyes and added, "Don't worry, I won't let you squeal like a pig again."

With the experience of last time, in order to avoid her regretting and refusing to admit it, and for his safety, this sentence must be said in advance.

Tang Yaoyao glanced at him and asked, "Do you think you've won?"

Tang Ning was too lazy to explain to her, so he held out his palm and said, "High five for an oath."

After high fiveing ​​Tang Yaoyao, Tang Ning rubbed his numb palm and said, "Since we're out, why don't we go to other shops?"

"Wait a minute." Tang Yaoyao stopped him, glanced at him, and asked, "Have you noticed that I'm different from before?"

Tang Ning looked her up and down and found that she hadn't changed much except for some secondary growth retardation.

If he told the truth, he would definitely be beaten to death. He looked at her again and said, "The clothes you wear today... are pretty."

Tang Yaoyao's face darkened and she said unhappily, "I wore this yesterday."

She took a deep breath, straightened her chest as if unintentionally, and asked, "Apart from the clothes, are there any other changes?"

Tang Ning shook her head: "No."

Tang Yaoyao snorted coldly and said, "Go to the store!"

Tang Ning shook her head in confusion. Women are like this. They always ask men some strange questions. Perhaps the answer to this question is that she changed the rouge from a powder shop today, and the color of the pure rouge changed from light red to light light red. This question obviously touched the knowledge blind spot of the majority of men.

Tang Yaoyao's long legs moved so fast that they were about to disappear. Tang Ning looked up and quickened her pace to follow.

...

The New Year is approaching, and there are more lively things in the capital.

There was the Sixteen Guards Competition before, and then the court suddenly broke out about punishing corrupt officials. This morning, all the major bookstores in Beijing suddenly distributed newspapers for free. Who doesn't like to take advantage of the free price? Even if you can't read, you can take it home to pad the corner of the table. The street of bookstores was full of pedestrians holding free newspapers. In half a morning, these newspapers were almost spread throughout the capital.

In addition to condemning those corrupt officials, the newspapers also published the gift list that flowed out of Liu's mansion, which shocked countless people in the capital.

There were countless people talking about it in major restaurants, teahouses, and roadside stalls in Beijing.

"These officials in the court are really rich. The gifts they give are all worth a thousand taels of silver. A thousand taels of silver is enough for us to spend for several lifetimes!"

"No wonder your majesty wants to punish these corrupt officials. The gifts they give are all the hard-earned money of the people..."

"Hey, these corrupt officials should all be thrown into prison!"

...

At a tea stall on the street, listening to the discussion of the crowd, someone suddenly interrupted and said: "The court has only punished a dozen people, less than 20%. We should write a letter to the people and ask your majesty to severely punish these parasites and return a bright sky to the capital!"

A person next to him heard the words and immediately echoed: "Yes, write a letter to the people, I am the first to agree!"

As soon as the voice fell, someone else intervened: "One less corrupt official means one less parasite who extorts the money of the people. Write a letter to the people, count me in!"

The people on the tea stall were just talking casually, but suddenly the atmosphere was brought up, and they all became indignant in an instant.

"I agree too!"

"Let Your Majesty see the voice of the people!"

"Punish corrupt officials severely!"

...

When the atmosphere at the tea stall spread to the surroundings, one of the people at the tea stall quietly left, walked to a certain street, walked up to a young man, and whispered: "Your Highness, everything is arranged."

"Well done." King Kang looked at him with satisfaction and said, "Let's go, I will listen to the voices of the people of the capital for my father."

He walked in front alone, followed closely by several guards from Prince Kang's Mansion.

This time, a series of events triggered by the gift allowed him to win the battle to make a comeback. However, the court's punishment of those officials still could not satisfy him completely. A mere fifteen people were still far from his ultimate goal. Very far.

He walked on the street, listening to the comments of the people, with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but say: "Tangning, Tangning, thank you very much for reminding me that newspapers can still be used in this way..."

"Mr. Xu, this time..." He turned around and said something subconsciously, only to find that Mr. Xu had left the capital. He couldn't help but touched his head and murmured: "Mr. Xu is not around, I always feel that It seems like something is missing..."

In the past, when Mr. Xu was here, he didn't feel anything. Now that he left, he felt empty in his head and heart, and there was always a feeling that he had lost something.

He shook his head, throwing this feeling out of his mind, and took a few steps forward. Suddenly, a guard stepped forward and whispered: "Your Highness, the person in front seems to be Mr. Tang Ningtang."

King Kang raised his head and saw on the street not far ahead. A young man and woman each held a candied haws in their hands and walked leisurely on the street.

Tang Ning and Tang Yaoyao were walking side by side on the street, taking a bite of candied haws, and thinking about what they would ask her for tomorrow, when a familiar voice suddenly came to their ears.

"Master Tang, you are fine."

Tang Ning raised her head and looked at the young man opposite her. She was stunned for a moment, then she raised her hands and said, "I have met His Highness Prince Kang."

Not long after we broke up with King Kang, we met on the street, which was still a bit embarrassing.

King Kang looked at Tang Yaoyao, then at the candied haws in his hand, and said, "Master Tang seems to be very leisurely."

Tang Ning said: "Your Highness also seems to be quite relaxed."

"I am not as free as you." King Kang glanced at him and said, "I came out today to observe the people's sentiments and listen to their opinions..."

Tang Ning smiled and said, "Your Highness cares about the people. I admire you. I admire you."

King Kang was in a good mood, his face softened a little, and he looked at him again and said: "I not only care about the people, but also cherish talents. As long as you are willing to submit to me again, I can forget about the past."

Tangning looked at him with complicated eyes. He couldn't hide from the prince who did this. How could he stick to him...

He took a bite of the candied haws and said vaguely: "I can't understand what His Highness said or what happened in the past..."

Prince Kang's face completely darkened, and he said coldly: "If you don't drink a toast, you'll have to drink a fine wine. Since you don't know what's good, don't blame me for being rude. I will not give you another chance in the court tomorrow."

He said coldly, then left without looking at Tangning.

Tangning's pretending to be stupid made the anger in his heart begin to rise and spread. What was in his eyes just now made his anger unable to be suppressed.

The meaning conveyed in his eyes just now was clearly pitiful!

Does his majestic eldest son need a minister to pity him?

Tomorrow, we will show him who should be pitied!

King Kang snorted coldly, waved his sleeves, and was not in the mood to go shopping anymore, and said, "Go back home!" d
