"Uncle Ma, I heard that you have something to do with me~?"
Early the next morning, in a room in the editorial office of Datang Daily in Qiquge New Workshop, Li Yu knocked on the door and pushed in. He asked Ma Zhou softly, who was standing in front of the window with his hands behind his hands.
In the academy, others call Ma Zhou Mr. Ma. In the workshop, others call Ma Zhou Shi Ma or Master Ma. Taking a closer look, Li Yu is probably the only one who calls Ma Zhou Uncle Ma!
Ma Zhou naturally resisted this title at first, because he felt that he was not that old yet, but as time went by, Ma Zhou was now used to the title given by Li Yu. At this time, he turned around and said, He smiled kindly at Li Yu and said, "Xiao Yu'er, are you here? Sit down and talk!"
As he spoke, he pointed to a chair opposite the desk.
Li Yu never knew how to write the word "restraint" in front of Ma Zhou. When she heard this, she sat down on the chair without being polite, and then said half-jokingly: "Uncle Ma, look at you So seriously, could it be that you called me here today because you want to increase my salary because of my good performance over the past year~?"
Of course this was a joke. Li Yu and Ma Zhou had always had a good relationship, and they often made similar jokes. But what Li Yu didn't expect was that Ma Zhou, who had just sat opposite her, actually He nodded: "Yes! Xiao Yu'er, you guessed it right. I called you here today to increase your salary~!"
"...?"
When Li Yu heard this, her eyes widened. She wondered if there was something wrong with her ears, or if Ma Zhou had something wrong with his head today. Otherwise, how could he hear such shocking and unreasonable words?
"Uncle Ma, aren't you kidding me? I don't have the time to amuse you. I haven't finished writing today's manuscript!"
After being surprised for a moment, Li Yu pouted and said somewhat dissatisfied.
Obviously, she didn't take what Ma Zhou just said seriously.
Unexpectedly, Ma Zhouyi said with a serious face: "Xiao Yu'er, I'm not kidding you. In the past year, you have gone from knowing nothing about news writing to becoming a gold medal reporter of Datang Daily. You The efforts you have put in and the results you have achieved are obvious to all of us! Mr. Hou and I really want to increase your salary. Not only that, Mr. Hou also plans to let you slowly take over the affairs of "Datang Daily". In time, maybe the entire editorial department of Datang Daily will be handed over to you to manage!"
"What? Sir, you want me to take over the affairs of the editorial department?"
When Li Yu heard this, she almost jumped up from her chair. She said in disbelief: "But I was only responsible for writing news before. Uncle Ma, aren't you always in charge of the affairs in the editorial department? Why should you, sir?" Arrange it this way~?”
Li Yu is actually very satisfied with her current life. She goes out to collect stories every day and writes a few press releases. She can earn a lot of money every month. Occasionally, she can expose some illegal things among the people and punish evildoers. Goodness, this life is really fulfilling and valuable! Li Yu is not very interested in Ma Zhou's current position as editor-in-chief of the "Datang Daily"!
"I was indeed in charge of the editorial department before, but I'm leaving Lantian County soon!"
Seeing Li Yu's excited face, Ma Zhou said in a deep voice.
"...Leave Lantian County? Why? Could it be that Mr. He..."
When Li Yu heard this, her heart suddenly shook, and a trace of worry suddenly appeared on her face. She subconsciously thought that Ma Zhou had done something wrong recently, so Li Zexuan was going to remove Ma Zhou from his position as editor-in-chief!
How could a person like Ma Zhou fail to understand what Li Yu was thinking? He quickly waved his hand and said: "Xiao Yu'er, don't think twice. I left Lantian County because there are more important things to do. The Marquis is now the governor of Qingzhou, but the official duties here in the capital are still It was too heavy, so the Marquis appointed me as the governor of Qingzhou and asked me to go to Qingzhou to take over the affairs there! I will leave this afternoon! "
"Oh! So that's it!"
When Li Yu heard this, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then she said with a smile: "Then I should congratulate Uncle Ma on his promotion! If I have time to go to Qingzhou in the future, Uncle Ma, a local coward, will have to entertain me well!"
Hearing these slightly arrogant words, Ma Zhou couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, secretly thinking that this girl really doesn't know how to use words. He will be regarded as the dignified governor of the governor in the future, how can he be called a local snake?
"But... how can I manage the entire editorial department by myself? How can I do this~?"
At this time, Li Yu remembered Ma Zhou's explanation at the beginning and couldn't help but hesitated.
Ma Zhou smiled and said: "Of course your current ability is not enough to manage the entire editorial department, so Mr. Hou just asked you to slowly take over and get familiar with it. At present, the editorial department should be directly managed by Mr. Hou. In addition, on weekdays, Isn’t there Young Supervisor Yu and the others here to help you~?”
"Datang Daily" has now become the "official mouthpiece" recognized by the imperial court, and internal supervision by the imperial court is naturally indispensable. Last year, Li Er sent several academicians with both ability and political integrity to the editorial office of "Datang Daily" to monitor the daily content of the newspaper. content is reviewed and regulated.
After more than a year of getting along with each other, the editors in the editorial department and these bachelors have gotten along very harmoniously. There is no hostility and they often help each other.
"Oh! Okay then! I'll try!"
Li Yu thought for a while and finally nodded and accepted the job. It was not that she was greedy for money. The salary she received every month was completely enough for her. The main reason was that she was grateful to Li Zexuan and Ma Zhou. After taking care of her for many years, she wanted to share the worries of Li Zexuan and Ma Zhou!
"Haha! If that's the case, then I'm relieved~!"
Ma Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
After a pause, he continued: "Xiao Yu'er, I know that you have been looking for the whereabouts of your parents. The Marquis and I will do our best to help you find it, but this kind of thing cannot be rushed. Maybe when fate comes, your parents It will automatically appear in front of you, so don’t let it get you down..."
Despite the smiling expression on Li Yu's face, the attentive Ma Zhou could still see a touch of sadness between Li Yu's eyebrows. He always regarded Li Yu as his sister. Before leaving, Of course he was still a little worried.
Hearing this, Li Yu suddenly fell silent. Her expression changed. Finally, she forced a smile and said: "Uncle Ma, look at what you said, how can I be depressed? Am I not doing well? Oh, yes Well, you should be careful when you go to Qingzhou alone, I am still waiting for you to go to Qingzhou to have fun after you have established a foothold there!"
Ma Zhou sighed helplessly, and then said: "You don't have to worry about my safety. The Marquis will send some personal guards to go with me this time! Xiao Yu'er, take care of yourself!"
After that, he stood up and walked out of the room with his hands behind his back.
Li Yu quickly stood up and shouted to Ma Zhou:
"Uncle Ma, you also value me!"
…………………………
"Yu Yao, how is Renbiao? Are you still not eating?"
Qizhou, the county seat of Yong County, the front hall of the Governor's Office.
Wang Yu and a woman with gorgeous clothes and elegant temperament sat high up. Looking at Leng Yuyao standing in the hall, Wang Yu asked with a cold face.
Leng Yuyao's face still had the same cold expression as usual. After hearing Wang Yu's question, she slightly leaned forward and said, "Master, the young master said he can't eat..."
"Hmph! Can't eat it?"
Hearing this, the lady sitting next to Wang Yu became angry instantly. She slapped the table and said angrily: "I think he was obsessed with that little vixen. He would do anything for that bitch." I don’t care! I and my master have trained him for so many years, and he actually treats us as enemies for a businessman’s bitch. It’s really unfilial!”
Yes, this lady is Li Er's biological aunt and the current eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty - Princess Tong'an. She is also Wang Renbiao's biological mother and the current mistress of the Wang family in Taiyuan!
"Madam, calm down! Madam, calm down!"
Seeing Princess Tong'an's rage, Wang Yu quickly acted as a good old man. He had no choice but to do so. Although he was the contemporary head of the Taiyuan Wang family, the current emperor intended to weaken the family's power. The Cui family of Qinghe, the Cui family of Boling, and the Zheng family of Xingyang were even more powerful. was directly defeated by the imperial court. The power of the imperial power is now unprecedentedly powerful. If the Taiyuan Wang family wants to continue to be glorious, they have to surrender to the royal family. Princess Tong'an is a relative of the royal family. At this juncture, even if Wang Yu is the head of the Wang family, I don’t dare to offend Princess Tongan easily!
"Hmph! Calm down your anger! How can I calm down? You are a good son who you taught me! We have raised him for more than ten years, but in the end, in his eyes, we are not as good as a lowly woman outside!"
Princess Tong'an didn't give Wang Yu any face and roared angrily in front of all the servants.
She is an ambitious woman. Even though she is the eldest princess of the court, once a woman gets married, she is like water thrown out. Sometimes the royal family can support her, but if she wants to maintain her status in a big family like the Wang family, Stability, in addition to the support of the royal family, is more important to rely on her own efforts to operate, and Wang Renbiao is the key to her maintaining an unshakable position in the Wang family!
Therefore, she has always spared no effort in cultivating Wang Renbiao!
But what she never expected was that Wang Renbiao, the eldest son of the Wang family, would actually fall in love with the daughter of a private businessman. If this spread, Wang Renbiao would probably become the laughing stock of all the aristocratic families!
After all, although the five surnames and Qiwang are no longer as glorious as they used to be, the bloodline of the family is still noble and unattainable. In the country, there are countless civil servants and military generals who hope that they or their juniors can marry the children of the five surnames and Qiwang, especially Wang Renbiao not only has the blood of the Wang family in Taiyuan, but also has the blood of the royal family flowing in his body. His bloodline is not noble!
Now Wang Renbiao actually wants to marry a commoner woman. This is simply a stain on the blood of the family. Other families with five surnames and seven hopes will laugh at him, and the elders of the Wang family will not let him go! In the end, Wang Renbiao is likely to be marginalized by the Wang family. The Wang family will not allocate any resources to Wang Renbiao in the future, let alone any help! ,
This directly caused Princess Tong'an's years of layout and management to come to naught in an instant. It is said that the mother is more valuable than the son. If Wang Renbiao cannot provide her with a strong political foundation support, as a mother, even if she has a princess Identity, it is estimated that he will soon be separated from the center of power of the Wang family!
So after learning about Wang Renbiao and Li Jingchu, Princess Tongan immediately became furious and took her husband directly from Suizhou to Qizhou to "kill" them!
In the main hall, Wang Yu looked embarrassed. Facing the furious Princess Tong'an, he really had no choice.
"Since he thinks about that bitch so much, I'll have her tied up and thrown into the river to feed the fish! Let's see if he still wants to eat!"
After a pause, Princess Tong'an finally made up her mind. She stood up angrily and looked at Leng Yuyao and said: "Leng Yuyao, now take people to that bitch's house and tie her up to me!"
"this……!"
Leng Yuyao was shocked when she heard this. She was envious and jealous of Li Jingchu, but she knew that Wang Renbiao really liked Li Jingchu. As long as Wang Renbiao liked him, whether he was a friend or a love rival, she would try her best to protect him, but now Tongan The princess actually ordered her to put Li Jingchu to death. She resisted this order from the bottom of her heart!
And she knew that if Li Jingchu died like this, Wang Renbiao would never continue to live, and he would never forgive her until his death!
"Madam, you must not do it~!"
Before Leng Yuyao could speak, Wang Yu finally couldn't sit still anymore. He quickly stood up and tried to dissuade her: "Madam, Li Jingchu is just a commoner's girl. She did not steal or rob, nor did she commit any crime. As an official of the imperial court, I , how can you let people take her at will? And no matter what, this is a human life!"
There is naturally unknown darkness everywhere in feudal society, especially in aristocratic families. Every year and every month, slaves and maids die unexpectedly. In the eyes of the upper class, some human lives are indeed like trivial matters!
But Li Jingchu is not a slave, she is a commoner. No matter whether she is a noble family or a court official, she cannot kill an ordinary person casually, at least not so blatantly!
To put it bluntly, even if Li Jingchu committed a serious crime, Wang Yu and Princess Tong'an could not kill him with just a few words. The imperial court was extremely strict on the death penalty approval of prisoners, and even required Li Er to personally review it!
Therefore, once human life is involved, Wang Yu can never sit idly by and ignore it!
After Wang Yu said this, Princess Tong'an also realized that she had made a mistake. She said with anger in her eyes: "Humph! If I can't kill her, I will break her legs and feet and scratch her face to see if my son will give up~! Leng Yu Yao, take people there now~!"
Seeing that Princess Tongan listened to the advice, Wang Yu sat back, as long as no lives were lost, this was his principle and bottom line!
Leng Yuyao did not accept the order immediately. She remained silent. After a moment, she gritted her teeth, cupped her fists and said, "Princess, forgive me, Yuyao cannot accept the order!"
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone was shocked!
Princess Tong'an's eyes were filled with anger. She walked step by step in front of Leng Yuyao, and then said coldly, word by word: "Leng Yuyao, do you dare to disobey me~?"
