Daqin Daily's interview with Liu Ji and others lasted for two hours.
During these two hours, Liu Ji was mainly narrating.
After all, Fan Kuai and others don't know what to say even if they want to.
Lu Wan could add a few words to add to the conversation, but it was only as a supplement.
Two hours later, the reporter from Daqin Daily had obtained enough materials and immediately went back to write the article.
As for Liu Ji and others, they left the newspaper office and checked into a nearby hotel.
They are now waiting to be banished to immortals tomorrow to pay compensation.
Liu Ji even considered whether to buy a few ox carts. After all, it would take a lot of trouble to transport so much money back to Peixian County.
Although he didn't know how much compensation he would receive from the banished immortal, Liu Ji had already thought about it. Shang Jun's Courtyard was said to have countless mountains of gold, so he had to ask for half of the mountain, right?
Otherwise, his business of selling fertilizer will be ruined. As a shrewd person like Ban Xian, he should make the right decision.
Liu Ji smiled with satisfaction, and then entered his dream.
That night, the reporter worked overtime to finish the manuscript. After Fu Yao read it, he ordered it to be sent to Shangjun Courtyard.
Half an hour later, the craftsman from Shangjun Courtyard came and said respectfully to the people of Daqin Daily: "The Exalted Immortal said that there is nothing wrong with the manuscript, and there is no need to change a word, just send it out directly. "
"In addition, Ban Xian also said that it is recommended that future manuscripts should not be read by the parties concerned. Daqin Daily must be neutral and objective and not succumb to any force. Of course, the content about the royal family must be submitted to His Majesty for review .”
People from Daqin Daily nodded repeatedly and said with emotion: "It's really admirable that the Exalted Immortal is so tolerant and generous."
Only these reporters know how much harm public opinion can cause people.
This time the manuscript is very neutral. Since it is neutral, it is inevitable that there will be content that accuses the immortal. But it was not easy to banish an immortal, which is really great.
The reporters suddenly felt that the rumors they had heard before, about being shameless and greedy for money, were actually nothing more than slander from villains.
A person who is willing to bear criticism for the freedom of the newspaper is an absolutely noble person.
In this comparison, Dr. Chun Yuyue, who cherished feathers and valued reputation, was somewhat inferior.
That night, Daqin Daily worked overtime to print the newspaper.
Now that the newspaper has its own printing house, there is no need to go to Shangjun Courtyard for printing.
In fact, the printing industry is developing rapidly, and many places have their own printing plants. Of course, patent fees have to be paid.
Under Fu Yao's instructions, the newspaper was printed 50% more than usual. Because he had a premonition that this newspaper would sell very well tomorrow.
…………
It's dawn and there are more people on the street.
A newspaper boy shouted along the street: "Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, some people sue the banished immortal, and some people sue the banished immortal for refusing to honor the insurance promise. Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, and some people sue the banished immortal for refusing to pay insurance..."
Immediately a group of people gathered around and bought newspapers from the newsboy.
The lawsuit between the banished immortal and the person was originally very topical news. Just because of this, many people wanted to buy a newspaper and read it.
The content of the lawsuit turned out to be that Banxian refused to pay insurance, which was closely related to everyone.
As a result, the people of Xianyang City showed great interest.
Even though the newspaper printed 50% more copies, it was still sold out within a few hours. Daqin Daily simply printed another batch.
Today has become a reading day in Xianyang City.
Those who know the alphabet are reading the newspaper, while those who don’t know the alphabet are begging others to read it again.
This newspaper probably wrote about the miserable situation of Liu Ji and others who had no harvest after buying chemical fertilizers. And how their request for compensation was ruthlessly rejected.
In the article, a reporter once asked Liu Ji why he did not report to the official.
Liu Ji replied that after arriving in Xianyang City, the first thing they thought of was to report to the officials, but they did not expect that the officials in Xianyang City were very timid. When they heard that they were going to sue the immortals, they beat them up and drove them out without explanation. .
The reporter curiously asked which official this was.
Liu Ji thought for a while and only named Tingwei Li Si.
The reporter recorded it carefully.
The reporter then asked if he had tried to seek help from other officials’ homes.
Liu Ji said that he had planned to go to the Neishi Mansion to sue to banish the immortal, but he heard that the Neishi Zhao Teng was the one who banished the immortal, so he did not dare to file a lawsuit.
In the end, I had no choice but to find a newspaper office, hoping to get help and justice.
The reporter enthusiastically invited Liu Ji to go to Shangjun Courtyard for a confrontation, but Liu Ji refused.
According to him, he was worried about the revenge of banishing the immortal.
In fact, Liu Ji's real intention was to make things worse before negotiating with the banished immortal.
At that time, it was the banished immortal who came to see him in person, not him who went to see the banished immortal.
Of course, Liu Ji would not tell reporters such thoughts.
The reporter recorded everything based on the principle of neutrality and objectivity.
At the end of the article, the reporter said that they had gone to Shangjun Courtyard to inquire about the banished immortal. The immortal said that people had been sent to investigate Liu Ji's matter, and that he would not act recklessly until the truth came out. Add speculation.
But he can guarantee that Shangjun Villa will never refuse the compensation.
The contents of the newspaper quickly spread throughout the streets and attracted the attention of countless people. The reactions of all parties are different. Some people are simply affected by the situation.
For example, Li Si.
After reading the newspaper, he was so angry that he smashed his job.
"What does this newspaper mean? What do these reporters mean? I was afraid of being banished to immortality? So I beat out the person who accused him? It's really unreasonable, it's really unreasonable!"
Li Si felt that he was going crazy.
But... what could he do but get angry at home?
Did Liu Ji and his gang be beaten out yesterday? yes.
Was it because he didn't want to offend the banished immortal that he beat him out yesterday? yes.
Is there anything to argue about?
What's more, a group of people from the newspaper office have their backs to Mr. Fu Yao and are extremely stubborn. If they really want to come and make trouble, people may not be afraid of him.
What's more important is that if after the trouble is over, these reporters write more about it, it will be really embarrassing.
Fortunately, now I am just a small supporting role, and everyone's attention is focused on banishing the immortal.
If that's the case... then just swallow your anger and do more than do less. I just hope that the people will forget about this newspaper and don't mention me again.
Li Si sighed and sat on the mat with some dejection, thinking: Could it be that I am really afraid of being banished to immortality? How can it be……
He said it was impossible, but Li Si panicked and realized that maybe he was really afraid.
I don’t know when the courage and enterprising spirit of my youth disappeared.
Alas, this feeling is really uncomfortable.
…………
Zhao Teng also lost his job.
"I'm from Huaiguzi? That's nonsense. It's just nonsense." Zhao Teng didn't have any scruples. He went directly to Daqin Daily and asked the people at the newspaper to give him an explanation.
The newspaper reporter felt aggrieved: "This is what Liu Ji said. If you are not satisfied, you can confront Liu Ji."
Zhao Teng was furious and originally planned to confront Liu Ji, but then he thought about it and felt it would be a bit embarrassing to do so.
Who are you? He is an important minister in the court.
Who is Liu Ji? He's just a low-life Guizhou leader.
Would you like to confront him in your capacity? Whether you win or lose, it's embarrassing enough.
So Zhao Teng gave up confronting Liu Ji and changed his approach.
He took the initiative to send an official document, asking Shangjun Bieyuan and Liu Ji to go to the Neishi Mansion within a time limit to investigate the case.
This insurance case must be heard clearly by him, Zhao Teng.
After Zhao Teng sent this official document, he felt a lot more at ease. If those ignorant people still thought that they were Huaiguzi's people, it would be really hopeless.
Who knew that after Zhao Teng's official document was sent out, what he was most worried about would happen.
The people were talking a lot.
Some people said: "It seems that the banished immortal and Lord Nei Shi are really in the same group. Liu Ji said that he did not dare to complain because he was worried about the protection of the officials, so Lord Nei Shi just asked him to complain. Why are you so eager to prove yourself? ? Could it be that there is a ghost inside?"
Others said: "Lord Nei Shi has been cooperating with the Exiled Immortal for a long time. In the past few times, when Shangjun Courtyard wanted to launch something new, he always deliberately went to Nei Shi Mansion to complain, in order to attract people's ideas. This time... I'm afraid it's the same trick. Maybe the banishment is to promote insurance."
Someone else said: "So, this so-called Liu Ji was either brought by the banished immortal to act in a show, or he was falsely accused?"
Another person said: "I think it's probably a false accusation. Have you noticed? Liu Ji's name and place of origin are exactly the same as the most popular one in Xianyang City."
The people next to him suddenly realized: "Yes, it is true. When we heard about Liu Ji at first, we thought that this person had the same name as Liu Ji from Shangjun Courtyard. Now listen to what you say... He even has the same place of origin? This identity It’s obviously made up.”
The people around him nodded: "It seems that this fake Liu Ji is a shameless person from some place, and he dare not show his true face to others. I don't know where I heard our name Liu Ji, so he rashly pretended to be someone else." He took his place, but he didn't know that the banished immortal happened to hit him."
Someone was eager to say: "Hey, I can't wait to see how the banished immortal refutes this person..."
After Zhao Teng sent out the official document, he sent his servants out to inquire about the news on the streets and see what the people were talking about.
When he heard the content of the discussion, he almost died of anger.
Zhao Teng is a little frustrated now.
He found that the people of Xianyang City had become particularly imaginative. No matter how hard they tried, they all thought that they were from Huaiguzi.
Alas, it is really unfair.
…………
Liu Ji woke up and sat on a low couch waiting for the banished immortal to come and apologize. But didn't wait.
He even felt a little hungry from waiting.
I had no choice but to buy something to fill my stomach.
While eating, he saw Fan Kuai sitting next to him and swallowing, but refused to eat.
Liu Ji asked curiously: "Why don't you eat?"
Fan Kuai said: "I won't eat it. I'm waiting for the Banished Immortal to come and take me to the Banished Immortal Tower to eat. I heard that the food there is truly delicious."
Liu Ji was stunned for a moment and thought: It makes sense.
This time the banished immortal is here to apologize, so there must be a banquet. Since it was a banquet, of course we had to go to the Exorcist Tower.
Liu Ji regretted eating. He quickly put down the leftover food and prepared to have a big meal at the Immortal Exile Tower.
Lu Wan was a smart person and bought some laxatives from outside.
He said to Liu Ji: "Brother, this is good food. After taking the laxative, we will empty our stomach and empty our stomach, and then we can eat the banquet at the Banished Immortal Tower."
Liu Jishen nodded in agreement, then ordered someone to boil the medicine, and each of them drank a large bowl.
Then they started lining up to go to the toilet.
The medicine was very effective, and everyone was lying on the low couch, just waiting to eat.
As for why I had to lie down...because there was nothing in my stomach, I felt light and unsteady on my feet.
They waited until noon, but the banished immortal had not yet appeared.
Lu Wan was already exhausted from hunger.
He said to Liu Ji: "Brother, will the banished immortal stop coming?"
Liu Ji said: "It's impossible. The newspaper has been sent out. If he doesn't come, where will he save his face?"
Lu Wan said: "Didn't you often say that in the past, this person who banishes immortals is shameless? What if he takes it seriously and loses face?"
Liu Ji was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's impossible. Even if he doesn't want face, he still wants money, right? If our matter can't be properly resolved, his insurance will no longer be sold."
Lu Wan nodded in agreement.
So, the group of people waited for a few more hours until night.
Fan Kuai poured cold water on himself: "Brother, if the banished immortal doesn't come back, I will starve to death."
Liu Ji said: "Is it possible that the newspaper didn't come out today? Fan Kuai, go buy a newspaper and come back."
Fan Kuai said with a grimace, "Why should I go? I'm so hungry that I'm dizzy."
Liu Ji said weakly: "Apart from you, do others still have the strength to go out?"
Fan Kuai said distressedly: "But I don't know the words."
Liu Ji said: "It's just a newspaper. Just buy today's one. No need to know the words, go ahead."
Fan Kuai just agreed, took another sip of water to calm his stomach, and then held on to the door frame and went out.
An hour later, Fan Kuai finally came back.
Liu Ji asked weakly: "Why did it take so long?"
Fan Kuai sighed: "I just sat here and I didn't feel very hungry. After walking a few steps, I was really hungry and dizzy. I walked around and rested for a while before I came back."
Liu Ji asked: "Have you bought the newspaper?"
Fan Kuai hummed and handed it over.
Liu Ji was only proficient in writing, but the words in newspapers were generally very simple and he could understand them.
Liu Ji flipped through the pages and was stunned: "This newspaper didn't mention anything about us. How come it's all about benevolence and righteousness, and observing etiquette... Huh? Fan Kuai, you idiot, you bought the Daqin Daily Really? You bought Xianyang Daily!"
