"Xu, a butcher from Shijiangji, made his family secretly buy more than ten dead pigs at low prices on April 25, and then sold their meat in the market, causing trouble to everyone..."
"Hao Chun, the magistrate of Zhang'an County, is ignorant and incompetent and does not pay attention to political affairs; the county magistrate Cao Hao said that he had taken nearly a thousand taels of money and violated the law, and colluded with profiteers to open the door for him, causing resentment among the people in the county..."
"On the tenth day of March, the widow Luo of Chuanhui Town died at home. The couple claimed that she died of a sudden illness. However, the neighbors claimed that they heard fighting, cursing and wailing that night, and they suspected that their father-in-law, Fan, had committed suicide and became angry.
Murder. Fan has bad conduct and has a bad reputation. He often associates with local gangsters. The villagers are afraid of him and are unwilling to report him. In addition, after more than a month after the incident in the field, he bought a property in the nearby town..."
"Sun, a wealthy family in Wuhai County, wanted to buy a certain field from someone in the same county at a low price, but was rejected. Afterwards, Yu was uneasy at a certain house: black dog blood was splashed in front of the door, the crops were trampled at night, and people walked inexplicably outside the wall.
Shui, the three-year-old grandson went home on his own two days after missing, covered with bruises. Yu had no choice but to sell the land to Sun, and then the family moved out..."
Each one of them is either shocking or arousing indignation. If the evidence is conclusive, the names and addresses of the witnesses are noted below, and some of them even have physical evidence attached; if there are any doubts, the questions are listed in detail
location, and many of the details are described very clearly.
Qin Ziqian read each piece of paper carefully. There was a signature at the bottom of the paper, and nearly half of the papers were signed with Xiao Jing's name. Some of the rest were written with Shao Ning, and some were written with Pan Feiyu.
"Are you spies? It's so secretive, you should be in charge of the prison." Qin Ziqian put the paper she took out back into the box in its original shape, her eyes were very erratic when she spoke.
, seemed to be visiting the furnishings in the house; anyway, she just didn’t look directly at Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing shook his head and said: "We are reporters, editors, and media people, not spies."
He locked the box and moved it to the cabinet, sat back on his seat, and said calmly: "What would happen if we wrote all these things into manuscripts and published them in the newspaper?"
After a short pause, he continued: "As the media, our responsibility is to use reports to make these injustices public, so that the evildoers can be punished and everyone can be given justice. As for the trial and conviction, that is a matter for the government and the media.
It’s not appropriate to get involved. At most, it’s just to provide clues.”
"Then, has the Mirror done what Mr. Xiao said?" Qin Ziqian smiled and said: "So far, I have never seen this kind of article in the newspaper."
Xiao Jing stood up and walked to the window, saying: "Mirror News was born not long ago, now is not the time. The girl has just seen it, the pile covered with red cloth is a more urgent matter. If possible, Xiao would like to be there
Publish them all in one issue. In this way, many people will no longer be harmed, and how much justice will be done..."
As he spoke, his voice was choked with sobs.
Qin Ziqian's eyes softened a lot. The cold ice in her eyes finally turned into two pools of spring water.
Xiao Jing, who had his back to her, raised his head and sighed. After a long time, he said: "If these are published now, do you think there will still be a mirror newspaper in the world?"
Qin Ziqian was silent.
The Mirror is very influential. It has won praise from ordinary people for its high sense of responsibility and spirit of serving the public. Some die-hard fans of Ruidu even feel that life has lost the fun without reading the newspaper.
But, so what?
The newspaper office was established by a group of ordinary people. Although Shao Yuanwai, who has some wealth, can provide some protection for the newspaper, but can he stop those people with bad intentions? This courtyard is the location of the newspaper office, and it is also a big family.
Even for the sake of the underage Dong Huaiyuan, Xiao Jing did not want it to become a place coveted by countless people with hateful eyes.
Formal newspapers are a new thing in the feudal society of Darui Dynasty. They are as young as a seedling that has never experienced wind and rain. If they are willing, many people can use violence and other methods to make it disappear completely. Another example is the corrupt one.
Zhang'an County Magistrate, even if the newspaper is not within his scope of authority, he still has many ways to completely destroy the Mirror. For him, making the newspaper completely disappear is as simple as squeezing an ant to death.
Anyone with journalistic ideals is not afraid of trouble, and Xiao Jing is no different. However, the value of a Mirror newspaper that survives is far greater than that of a Mirror newspaper that has mysteriously disappeared in the long river of history without even making a splash.
Only in this way will more people benefit from it in the future.
When the entire society adapts to the existence of newspapers, understands the value of newspapers and learns how to protect them, the time for the Mirror to shine will truly come.
"I've said everything that needs to be said. I've also shown you what needs to be seen. I've never shown these things to anyone outside the editorial department. Miss Qin is very smart, and you should also do the things I didn't say.
I understand." Xiao Jing smiled faintly and said, "I bother you to come all the way today, and I, a landlord, haven't expressed my feelings yet. If you don't give up, how about we go have a meal together?"
Qin Ziqian chuckled and said: "Young Master Xiao is eloquent, but I can't compare with you. You can be sincere and give out such an important thing. There are many things that Qin can't help but believe."
After saying that, she turned sideways and gently rolled up her sleeves, as if looking at something.
The other party deliberately blocked Xiao Jing's gaze, but he still managed to see a little bit. There seemed to be a different color on Miss Qin's Ningxuehao wrist. Was it... bluish purple?
Xiao Jing suddenly lowered his head with black lines on his face.
Ever since he met Miss Qin, she had always dressed in men's clothing, and her voice and mannerisms had also imitated men. Except for her charming smile that day in the tavern, Xiao Jing never regarded her as a woman at any time.
Xiao Jing was in a rage when he dragged her in, so he naturally acted a little too lightly.
However, it is unforgivable for a man to do such a heavy hand to a girl for whatever reason.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jing walked to Qin Ziqian's side and apologized: "Miss Qin, I was a little impatient just now, so I have offended you a lot. Please forgive me."
It was my fault to forcefully pull you, but if you said I had evil intentions, you were wrongly blaming me, right? Well, speaking of it, if I really had evil intentions, you would be a good match...
"I don't dare to apologize or anything. I'll just go back and forget about eating." Qin Ziqian snorted: "Young Master Xiao, there is no need to be pretentious. Qin promises you not to mention it to anyone after returning home."
Xiao Jing couldn't help but laugh twice.
Qin Ziqian opened the door and walked out on her own. When she was about to reach the courtyard door, she suddenly turned around and said loudly and proudly: "Qin will reply to you another day about what Mr. Xiao said!
"
