My lord, my lord, what shall we do? "A Confucian scholar asked Wu Jing next to him.
Wu Jing came back to his senses. He took a deep breath and said to the Confucian scholar: "Don't be affected by these things from the outside world. Li Xin just wants us to mess up the situation and make profits from it. We must follow the original plan Act.”
The Confucian scholar responded: "Then let's go interview Liu Ji and Yong Chi?"
Wu Jing nodded.
After everyone left, Wu Jing began to pace around the room.
People want face, trees want bark.
How good would it be if every issue of this general tabloid were filled with these gossipy things?
Even if those who are purified themselves purify themselves, what do the people think?
Worried, really worried.
Wu Jing scratched his head hard.
Suddenly, an idea came to his mind: Otherwise... go and apologize to Li Xin?
After this idea came up, Wu Jing immediately shook his head and drove it away.
Ridiculous, how could you apologize to that shameless person?
Wu Jing walked around the room: "Steady, steady, as long as no one mentions this matter, it will be over soon. If the general's tabloids are chasing after him, I will go to His Majesty to read a copy of him. Yes. , this will definitely work.”
Just as Wu Jing was thinking of this, several reporters pushed the door open and came in.
Wu Jing looked at them in confusion: "Didn't you go to interview Liu Ji? Why are you back?"
The reporters sighed: "Liu Ji was taken away by people from the Internal Affairs Bureau. Zhao Teng said that he would try the case personally."
Wu Jing had a headache: "Did Zhao Teng get involved too?"
But it's not surprising when you think about it. When Xianyang Daily reported on Liu Ji, he said a lot of unscrupulous things, which inevitably hurt Zhao Teng by mistake.
In order to prove his innocence and prove that he and the banished immortal are not the same, Zhao Teng will definitely try the case.
However... this does have an advantage. In order to avoid suspicion, Zhao Teng would not favor the banished immortal, and would even be inclined to convict the banished immortal.
Wu Jing nodded and said to the reporter: "Then you two go to the Neishi Mansion and keep an eye on this case. Once the banishment of immortals fails, report it to the newspaper immediately."
"Haha, what's the use of all the talk about banishing the immortal? As long as the Internal Affairs Bureau decides that he loses, she won't be able to defend herself."
The reporters nodded and left in a hurry.
The door of the Internal Affairs Bureau was open, but reporters were not refused interviews.
They just said that the case has not yet begun because several important witnesses of Ban Xian are still on the way. After the witnesses arrive, they will naturally ask questions.
So these reporters waited patiently.
They were bored waiting, but those who interviewed Yong Chi were very excited.
They met Yong Chi successfully. Just as they guessed, Yong Chi's face turned ugly after seeing them.
These reporters apologized repeatedly, saying that the two previous reporters were scum and the scum of Xianyang Daily and had been fired. Xianyang Daily. Most people are good.
After hearing this, Yong Chi's expression softened a little.
Then the reporter started asking Liu Ji about the field.
Yong Chi excitedly told the story about the cause and effect. When he was telling the story, sometimes he got emotional and couldn't help it, so he would use some curse words.
These reporters ignored everything else and wrote down his swear words seriously.
Then the reporter started to use his skills to tease Yong Chi's sensitive nerves, trying to irritate him.
They succeeded, and Yong was so angry that he slapped the table with his palms.
But to the disappointment of these reporters, Yong Chi did not hit anyone.
If Yong Chi doesn't hit anyone, he won't be able to receive compensation from the newspaper.
So they worked harder to stimulate Yong Chi, using very unbearable and despicable methods...
In the end, although they were not beaten, they got a lot of material. As long as they deleted it, they could describe Yong Chi as a madman, so they left with smiles.
That night, the reporter who interviewed Yong Chi worked overtime, wrote the manuscript, and handed it over to Wu Jing.
Wu Jing washed his face with cold water, forced himself to wake up, and then reviewed the manuscripts.
"Well, not bad, not bad, just what I want." Wu Jing became more and more excited as he looked at it.
When he finished reading the manuscript, it was already getting white. He handed the manuscript to the servant and said to him: "Don't change a word, just take it for printing immediately. Try to get the newspaper out tomorrow morning."
The servant responded and left happily.
Wu Jing was still immersed in the joy of reading the manuscript just now.
This manuscript is... really well written. With such a wonderful article, who would remember the general tabloid?
The more Wu Jing thought about it, the happier he became, and his heart couldn't help but surge. So I drank some medicinal tea and happily went to the beauty's room I just bought.
A pear tree is covered with begonias.
When I woke up again, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
Wu Jing rubbed his waist, put on his clothes, and walked out of the room exhausted.
The housekeeper was waiting outside. When he saw Wu Jing coming out, he rushed over anxiously.
When Wu Jing saw his face, he felt a little unhappy. This expression... seemed like something had happened.
Wu Jing asked calmly: "What's wrong? Didn't I tell you? Stay calm. If Mount Tai collapses in front of you, your face won't change."
The housekeeper responded repeatedly, and then took out a newspaper: "This is today's Daqin Daily."
"Oh?" Wu Jing opened the newspaper and looked at it, and found that there was a lot of space on it, which was about Yong Chi's interview yesterday.
It turned out that when Yong Chi was being interviewed yesterday, Shangjun Villa secretly placed a phonograph next to him.
After the interview ended, a reporter from Daqin Daily wrote the same article based on the recording.
In this article, the reporter's aggressiveness and relentless pursuit are vividly demonstrated.
Moreover, Yong Chi’s answer has not been deleted and is the original version.
His ridiculous remarks have a cause and effect. Not only do they seem more normal, but they are also easy to sympathize with.
After people see it, they will suddenly realize: Oh, it turns out that this person is quite pitiful. If it were me, I'd probably be angry too.
Seeing this, Wu Jing suddenly returned home and said to the housekeeper: "Quick, go to the Xianyang Daily office immediately and tell them that today's newspaper will not be distributed for the time being."
The housekeeper smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Master, it's already too late. Xianyang Daily was already hawking on the street just now."
"Moreover, Daqin Daily is in front and Xianyang Daily is in the back. Those people read Daqin Daily first and then our Xianyang Daily."
"The common people can tell at a glance that our newspapers have been tampered with and are specifically used to discredit Yong Chi."
"Therefore, we are constantly being cursed at in the street. Just now, when a servant at home went to buy groceries, he was stoned and his head was hit with blood."
Wu Jing almost vomited out a mouthful of blood: "How could this happen?"
The butler said with a sad face: "Master, what should we do now?"
Wu Jing took a deep breath: "Don't panic, stay calm. Even if Mount Tai collapses in front of you, your face won't change."
"Now, go to the Xianyang Daily office immediately and summon the people inside the newspaper office."
The housekeeper responded and hurried away.
Half an hour later, someone from Xianyang Daily came.
Wu Jing saw that all of them had bruises and swollen faces, and asked curiously: "What's wrong with you?"
The man from the newspaper office said with a sad face: "I was recognized on the way, and then I was beaten severely. Some threw stones, some punched and kicked me."
Wu Jing was furious: "You are so arrogant. Who beat you? I will send someone to arrest them right now."
The people at the newspaper office sighed: "We don't know either. First someone raised a handful of ashes and caught our eyes. Then they beat us up."
Wu Jing sighed and looked at these people with some sympathy, thinking: Then you can only consider yourself unlucky.
The people from the newspaper office rubbed their eyes and said to Wu Jing: "Sir, what should we do now? The prestige of the newspaper has plummeted. No matter what we say next, I'm afraid it will only attract scolding."
Wu Jing thought for a moment and said, "The reporters who interviewed Yong Chi yesterday... let them rest for a while."
Everyone in Xianyang Daily was disheartened: Sure enough, it is like this again.
Wu Jing continued: "However, it is hard to say whether the people will approve of the handling of these reporters this time."
No one at the newspaper office said anything, and everyone was obviously skeptical of this decision.
Wu Jing chuckled: "If the people don't approve, there is nothing we can do. We can only wait and wait for the people to forget about this matter."
"So next, we have to focus our attention on Zhao Teng's case."
Everyone nodded.
At this time, a servant with a bruised nose and face ran in and said to Wu Jing: "My lord, my lord. The witnesses mentioned in the banished immortal's mouth have arrived. Zhao Teng is about to go to court for questioning."
Wu Jing looked happy and said, "Come on, let's go take a look. Bring pens and paper, and a camera. Here's our chance to make a comeback."
Wu Jing led the people and walked excitedly to the Neishi Mansion.
On the way, a reporter suddenly said: "Sir, I suddenly have some doubts."
Wu Jing was stunned for a moment and asked, "What doubts are there?"
The reporter said: "What if... what if the banished immortal wins? What if this Liu Ji is really cheating money? What should we do?"
Wu Jing fell into deep thought.
From the first time he interviewed Liu Ji, he had been using Liu Ji to create public opinion and put pressure on Shangjun Courtyard. The only thing he did not expect was what would happen if Liu Ji made a false accusation.
Wu Jing thought for a long time and finally said: "If Liu Ji made a false accusation... our newspaper was also deceived by him. We also suffered..."
The reporters next to me were a little helpless: Mr. Wu...does he only know this trick?
…………
Li Shui and Li Xin were sitting on chairs and watching the excitement in the Neishi Mansion.
They saw Wu Jing coming from a distance, and quickly stood up and waved, smiling and saying: "Isn't this the successor of Confucianism? Welcome, welcome."
Wu Jing cupped his hands with a smile on his face and stood in the corner.
Li Shui and Li Xin immediately approached him as if they were glued to him.
Li Shui said: "Brother Wu, are you okay?"
Wu Jing could only say perfunctorily: "It's okay, thank you for your concern."
Li Xin said with a smile: "Brother Wu, have you thought about it?"
Wu Jing stared: "What are you considering?"
Li Xin said: "It's about being slapped."
Wu Jing flatly refused: "No need."
Li Xin immediately turned around and said to the reporter following him: "Have you written down what you just said?"
The reporter nodded and said, "Write it down."
"General just now asked Mr. Wu if he had considered getting slapped."
"Master Wu replied, there is no need to think about it."
Wu Jing: "..."
Is that what I really mean? Yes, those were indeed the words, but how did it change when said by this bastard?
Wu Jing said to Li Xin with a cold face: "General Li, you are always slandered by the tabloids. If I report this to His Majesty, the general will probably be punished as well."
Li Xin coughed hard, and seemingly casually, he took out a shiny gold medal from his neck, with two big words written on it: avoid death.
Wu Jing was about to cry.
At this time, Zhao Teng said calmly: "The trial of the compensation case for the farmland of the banished immortal has now begun."
Li Shui was a little unhappy: What he said seemed like I was wrong.
Zhao Teng said: "Where is Liu Ji?"
Soon, two government officials brought Liu Ji up.
Liu Ji had no injuries on his body and had obviously not been tortured.
His clothes were wrinkled, indicating that he had not slept well last night and might have rested on the straw for a while.
Zhao Teng said: "Liu Ji, if you have any grievances, you can tell me."
Liu Ji agreed and said feebly: "Little man, the little man was originally a farmer in Peixian County. Because he trusted the banished immortal, he bought his fertilizer. Unexpectedly, after using the fertilizer, there was no harvest. So... …So the villain comes to seek justice.”
Zhao Teng nodded.
He had already read Liu Ji's remarks in the newspaper, so he knew it very well. Asking him to say it again today was just a formality.
Zhao Teng looked at Yong Chi.
Yong Chi said loudly: "The villain is asking around. After Liu Ji bought fertilizer, he didn't farm at all. Since he doesn't farm, how can he have a harvest?"
Zhao Teng said calmly: "What evidence do you have to prove that he did not farm?"
Yong Chi looked at Li Shui.
Li Shui clapped his hands.
Soon, someone was brought up.
This man had gray hair and looked timid.
Zhao Teng asked: "Who are you?"
The man trembled and said, "Little man, my surname is Liu, and I am the father of Liu Ji. Others call me Liu Weng."
Zhao Teng snorted: "Liu Weng, has your son Liu Ji ever plowed the fields?"
Liu Weng shook his head vigorously: "This Liu Ji is idle and has never plowed a field."
Liu Ji was so angry that his mouth was filled with smoke: "Aren't you hurting me?"
Zhao Teng chuckled: "The biological father's words seem to be more accurate. However... there are conflicts between father and son, and there are also cases of lying."
Li Shui clapped his hands again.
The second witness came forward.
This man was dressed as a businessman. He saluted Zhao Teng and said: "The villain often hangs out in Liu Ji's jewelry store. During the spring plowing season, everyone is very busy. But Liu Ji is always in the store, and the villain never I’ve seen him go plowing the fields one day.”
