The days just passed day by day.
Lu Shanshan followed Xiao Jing's arrangement and placed him in Linzhou.
The city of the state is now very prosperous, with a faint sense of the past. Lu Shanshan worked hard to find a secluded place for him in the city where every inch of land was valuable, so that he could patiently recover from his wounds.
She agreed to go back to Puhua Town directly, but she delayed for several days before leaving. When she left, she repeatedly told her many instructions, leaving five subordinates to take care of Xiao Jing.
During this period, the convoy from the Lu family also chased after him. The manager who led the team visited Xiao Jing in person and showed him the things being pulled in the car with apologies.
There are even a large box of silver for calligraphy and paintings, spiritual medicines, furs, mountain goods... and a rough calculation, the total value is almost 2,000 taels of silver.
The manager nodded and said, "The young master's people beat Mr. Xiao like this. The master and his wife were very sorry. These are just apologies. The villain was ordered to send the things to Puhua Town. Since he passed by here, he would say hello to the young master..."
Xiao Jing firmly refused. It was not that he didn't want compensation, but that he didn't want to have any connections and contacts with the Lu family.
He was in charge of the business. He was also ordered to act, but he couldn't stop the things from being sent to Puhua Town anyway.
In desperation, Xiao Jing had to accept it. He specifically instructed the other party: "Don't mention Lu Chong when I'm here, I just said that I had negotiated a cooperative project, and it was enough for the partner to send it to deduct the project costs..."
The person in charge was so smart that he naturally agreed. After seeing off the convoy, Xiao Jing, who was carried out by someone, lay back on the bed weakly.
Nearly two thousand taels of silver... According to the purchasing power of the silver in Darui Dynasty, this is almost equivalent to more than one million yuan.
The income reported by the investment promotion conference is more than this, but it is accumulated by many merchants who have hundreds or dozens of taels. They are all very powerful wealthy households, and the daily flow of money on the books is very considerable; this amount of money is just a small amount for them, and it is not even enough for the young masters at home to go out and squander once.
Although the Lu family is also very rich, it is a little short of those rich businessmen after all. It is enough to be able to take out so many things for compensation at once.
More than one million... In his previous life, some murder cases were only hundreds of thousands to nearly one million. It was a pity that he had received such a "huge sum" before he died.
Xiao Jing closed his eyes weakly.
Three months are not long or short. Xiao Jing, who is always busy and rarely has the opportunity to take a break from his busy schedule, finally ushered in a comfortable and comfortable long holiday.
With the help of Lu Shanshan's subordinates, he recovered very quickly. After two months, he was able to walk slowly without crutches. Since then, he has walked alone throughout the streets and alleys of Linzhou City, hoping to dig out some news from this prosperous city.
Some people in the city who have a good memory still recognize him. Wherever they go, someone nodded and smiled and greeted him: "Reporter Xiao is here again?"
Some people who were too enthusiastic would drag him into the house and invite him to have a sumptuous lunch. Seeing that he was injured, many people took out the secret medicines he passed down with concern, and the aunt who was not well-off wanted to keep him for dinner. They also went to buy a lot of delicious food to nourish his body:
"Reporter Xiao will try this medicine at my house, it's very effective! Just apply it twice a day, and you can walk like a flying step in half a month. You will definitely run faster than before in one month! To be honest, the medicine is still left by my grandfather, and there is only so much left in the family... But for reporter Xiao, it's worth it! What, you want to give me money? That's right, right? You look down on me, I can't ask for your money no matter what I say..."
"You are the benefactor of our Linzhou City. I am a commoner and I have nothing to thank you. I'll invite you to a meal. The restaurant called Xingwanglou is good. Although the shopkeeper escaped on the day of the massacre, he ran away the next day. It is said that he went to marry. Later, thanks to the Mirror, everyone's energy went into the same place, and the city soon flourished. The shopkeeper also came back and changed the name of the restaurant from Yanlailou to Xingwanglou... Hey, I said I invited you to dinner. Once I entered, how could he ask for my money?
"My man died unjustly... I heard from others that Linzhou City was so angry that thanks to reporter Xiao, he became angry so quickly. Speaking of which, you are also my benefactor. How old is my grandson in my family? If the city has been ruined and ruined, it will not be easy for me to find a livelihood, so how can I support him..."
Xiao Jing is surrounded by warmth, and the ones that welcome him are always simple smiling faces. This is the so-called "those who have the people's hearts have you in their hearts"?
Thinking about later generations, the reputation of journalists was inexplicably destroyed by many black sheep. How can it not be sad?
Some people stretch their hands wherever they go, and the car costs are not a problem. Once they take the negative side of local governments or enterprises, they do not take the newspaper to let the truth be revealed in the sky to exercise the supervision function of the media, but instead come to the door with a handle to blackmail. After all, what he discovered was a shameful scandal, and the company was unwilling to cause trouble, so they gave him some money to leave.
After such reporters go back, they can often write black into white, or turn negative news into positive news through positive writing. For example, companies that exceed the standard and excessive pollution discharge have become pioneers of environmental protection, or although the company has caused certain pollution due to historical reasons, it has always put the health of the people first, constantly improving methods, introducing new equipment... and so on.
Of course, only those who are more greedy will do this. Smarter people will tell you over without any pain. After all, talking lies with your eyes open can easily cause readers to rebound.
Some people make a living by making up fake news. They are lazy when working and interviewing, and then write reports that cannot be scrutinized without collecting enough materials and failing to fully verify the incident, or simply make up a shocking story that does not exist at all to attract attention.
Some people do not care about the dignity and feelings of the interviewees at all, and write a report like a five-dollar novel on the street without the consent of others; a small family ethical dispute has become a palace drama with fists and pillows, which can be called a tragedy murder and can be written into a turbulent case-solving drama, and it also exaggerates the tragic appearance of the deceased and the blood flowing all over the ground...
With these unfinished people, it is no wonder that many people are disappointed with the media.
