Four hundred and ninetieth chapters the enemy's road is narrow
For the first time since she met King Kang, Tang Ning felt admiration for him.
At least he himself did not have the guts to play like King Kang. Before obtaining the concession from the court, there would be some mistakes. He would personally check and consider every word in the newspaper.
Tang Yaoyao's chest was still heaving, and she gritted her teeth and said, "The money sent out is all white money. Let me see when they can deliver it."
I don't know if it was Tang Ning's misunderstanding, but he always felt that the eighteen-year-old Tang Yaoyao seemed to have started to grow again.
"Where are you looking?"
As soon as this thought came to mind, Tang Yaoyao's voice of shame and anger came over.
"Ah?" Tangning looked confused, as if she had just woken up from a trance, and asked, "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'm thinking that this way they can only steal our business for one day. Don't worry, the newspaper office will be back to normal tomorrow."
Although he didn't know what King Kang was thinking, he could guarantee that if these bookstores could still open tomorrow, he would live under Tang Yaoyao's power for the rest of his life.
For Tang Ning, who is determined to make a comeback, this is already a very heavy vow.
"Tomorrow?" Tang Yaoyao shook her head and said, "You can't lose much money by giving it away for one day. I guess they will have to give it away for at least a month."
"I guess it's just for one day." Tangning smiled, looked at her, and asked, "Do you dare to bet?"
Tang Yaoyao didn't hesitate and asked: "How to bet?"
Tangning thought for a while and said, "Just like last time, if you win, you can ask me to do one thing, and if I win, I can ask you to do one thing, how about that?"
Tang Yaoyao looked at Tang Ning, as if she was thinking of something bad.
Tangning looked at her eyes and added, "Don't worry, I won't let you imitate a pig again."
In order to prevent her from going back on her word and not admitting her mistake, and for the sake of his safety, this sentence must be said first because of the last experience.
Tang Yaoyao glanced at him and asked, "Do you think you will win?"
Tangning didn't bother to explain to her, so she stretched out her palms and said, "High five as an oath."
After high-fiving Tang Yaoyao, Tang Ning rubbed her numb palms and said, "Now that we're out, why not go to another shop?"
"Wait a minute." Tang Yaoyao stopped him, glanced at him, and asked, "Have you noticed anything different about me from before?"
Tangning looked her up and down and found that apart from some secondary growth, she had not changed much.
To be honest, he would definitely be beaten to death. He looked at her again and said, "The clothes you are wearing today...are quite nice."
Tang Yaoyao's face turned dark and she said angrily: "I wore this yesterday."
She took a deep breath, puffed up her chest as if unintentionally, and asked, "Besides clothes, are there any other changes?"
Tangning shook her head: "No more."
Tang Yaoyao snorted coldly and said, "Go to the shop!"
Tang Ning shook her head inexplicably. Women are like this. They always ask men some strange questions. Maybe the answer to this question is that she changed the rouge from a powder shop today. The color of the pure rouge changed from light red to light red.
Red - This kind of question obviously touches the knowledge blind area of the majority of men.
Tang Yaoyao's long legs moved very fast and were about to disappear. Tang Ning looked up and followed her at a faster pace.
…
The New Year is approaching, and there are more and more lively events in the capital.
There was a competition between the Sixteenth Guards before, and then it was suddenly revealed that the imperial court was punishing corrupt officials. This morning, major bookstores in Beijing suddenly distributed newspapers for free. Who doesn't like to take advantage of free money? Even if you are illiterate, you can take advantage of it.
You can just go home and cushion the corner of the table. The street of Shufang is full of pedestrians holding free newspapers in their hands. In half a morning, these newspapers have spread almost throughout the entire capital.
In addition to condemning those corrupt officials, the newspaper also published the gift list that leaked directly from the Liu family, which shocked the capital's many jaws.
There are countless people talking about it in the major restaurants, teahouses and roadside stalls in Beijing.
"These officials in the court are really rich. The gifts they give start from a thousand taels of silver. A thousand taels of silver is enough for us to spend several lifetimes!"
"No wonder His Majesty wants to punish these corrupt officials. What they give is the people's hard-earned money..."
"Hey, these corrupt officials should all be sent to prison!"
…
At a tea stall somewhere on the street, listening to the discussion of the crowd, someone suddenly interrupted: "The imperial court has only punished a dozen people, not even 20%. We should write a book of ten thousand people, asking your Majesty to severely punish these moths and return the capital to a clear sky.
!”
When someone next to him heard this, he immediately agreed: "Yes, I am the first to agree to write the Book of Ten Thousand Peoples!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone else said: "One less corrupt official, and one less worm who plunders people's money and writes the book of all peoples, count me in!"
Everyone at the tea stall was just talking casually, but suddenly the atmosphere was aroused, and they all became indignant in an instant.
"I agree!"
"Let your majesty see what the people think!"
"Severely punish corrupt officials!"
…
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 has been 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 Palace.
This time, a series of events triggered by that gift allowed him to win the battle to turn himself around. 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 already 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..."
When Mr. Xu was here before, he didn't feel anything. Now that he has left, he feels that his head and heart are empty, and he always feels like he has 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. 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 don'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 and what's good, don't blame me for being rude. I will not give you another chance in the court tomorrow."
He said something coldly and left without looking at Tangning again.
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 let him see 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!"
