Chapter 142: Listed on the Blacklist
After dealing with the issues of Li Suyue and Zhang San, Wei Changtian's originally slightly depressed mood also improved a lot.
He ran to check on Ah Chun's cultivation progress, but was asked by the little girl, "Master, what were you and your wife doing in the room last night?" His face turned red.
Almost taught the kids bad lessons.
"I am practicing dual cultivation."
Wei Changtian wanted to fool him, but Ah Chun was curious and asked again with a blink of an eye.
"What is dual cultivation?"
"It means that if two practitioners, a man and a woman, practice together, they can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"Then can I follow Master too?"
Ah Chun was halfway through his "vicious words" when he was slapped on the head. He immediately covered his head with his hands, feeling very aggrieved.
"Master, did Ah Chun say something wrong?"
"Don't ever mention this again! Got it?!"
"knew"
When Ah Chun saw Wei Changtian dangling the Immortal-Locking Stone in his hand, he was so scared that he dared not ask any more questions and ran to help prepare dinner.
Watching her run away, Wei Changtian, who was standing still, touched his nose in confusion.
I don't know if it's my own illusion, but why do I feel that no matter what the personalities of the people around me were before, they all become a little "unbridled" after spending time with them? Wang Er and Lu Jingyao before, Yang Liushi and Liang Qin now. Even Ah Chun is so "active" now?
Is it because I am too easy to talk to? Or because my parents did not teach me well?
Alas, the values of modern civilization are still at work! Dinner should be a little saltier than usual.
Li Suyue was the one cooking today. Perhaps she was a little absent-minded while cooking and added salt twice.
Wei Changtian didn't say anything. After dinner, he went back to his room to read.
He has finished reading the book "Geography of Shuzhou" and has recently been studying some other niche books.
"Research on the Room", "History of the Embroidered Couch", "Art of Sexual Intercourse", "Picture of Avoiding Fire". After careful study, Wei Changtian was deeply moved -
It turns out that the ancients knew how to have fun.
Of course, we cannot always read these books that are not good for our physical and mental health. It is also necessary to understand the "current affairs" from time to time.
In those days, there was no television or the Internet, and the only way to spread news was by word of mouth, and the official and private channels were separate.
The official channel is "Dibao", which is published once a month. It mainly records important events that have happened recently and sends them from the capital to the provincial government offices in various places. The books are then distributed layer by layer in order to ensure smooth implementation of government policies.
As for the folk news media, they are basically storytellers in taverns and teahouses, as well as underworld intelligence organizations such as "Tianjilou".
These organizations specialize in collecting and selling intelligence for profit, and sometimes they also do some eye-catching things like "rankings".
For example, what Wei Changtian is holding in his hand now is the latest copy of "Daning Black and White List".
The thin booklet records two lists, the white list is the knight list, and the black list is the villain list.
He didn't recognize any of the people on the white list, and couldn't even find Xiao Feng's name.
But the blacklist is different.
Wow, they are all old acquaintances! The top of the list has never changed, my grandfather, Qin Zhengqiu.
The second position on the list is also solid, his father, Wei Xianzhi.
Qin Caizhen may not have killed many people recently, so her ranking has dropped, from fifth in the previous issue to outside the top ten.
Also falling out of the top ten was the old ancestor, Wei Zhaohai, who had been in seclusion on the third floor of the Wei Mansion’s Wu Pavilion for a long time.
However, there is also "good news", that is, after killing Liu Yuanshan, Wei Changtian also successfully entered the list for the first time, ranking twenty-seventh!
My goodness, other people have “three heroes in one family” and “three prime ministers in one family”, but the Wei family is different, it’s simply “three evils in one family”.
If we add in the cousins in the Tianluo Sect who are also on the blacklist, it really is a family of "all villains".
Twenty-seven, a bit low Wei Changtian curled his lips and fixed his eyes on his profile.
Other people’s names were followed by a long list of “evil deeds”, but his was very simple, just one sentence.
[On the ninth day of the ninth month of the fifteenth year of Tianji, the prime minister of the dynasty was beheaded in the capital.]
I don’t know if there will be any “righteous people” in the world who will come to attack me after this list is circulated.
It's good to come. If you kill a few more heroes, your ranking may even move up.
Wei Changtian threw the booklet away indifferently, took a sip of tea, and suddenly an idea popped into his mind.
Hmm? How about making a newspaper? Although the technology is still a little lacking, it is not impossible.
Making money from newspapers is secondary. What is more important is that if newspapers can be familiar with and accepted by the people in the future, doesn't it mean that we control the direction of public opinion? !
Wonderful!
The more Wei Changtian thought about it, the more beautiful it seemed. Without further ado, he immediately started writing a letter to Li Yang.
I introduced the concept and format of the newspaper in detail in my mind, and asked him to make a copy for me in the name of Chunshen Bookstore.
"Zhang San!"
Finally, he checked the letter again and called Zhang San into the house.
"This letter will be sent back to the capital tomorrow morning."
"Yes, sir."
Zhang San put the letter away and was about to go out when he found Wei Changtian looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Sir, do you have any other instructions?"
"No, but I talked to Li about you two before dinner, she said."
Wei Changtian deliberately dragged out his words, causing Zhang San to stare with his eyes wide open, not daring to breathe.
"Sir, is Li unwilling?"
"What do you think?"
"I"
Zhang San suddenly felt a little lost and lowered his head without saying anything.
Wei Changtian thought, could this be called "a tough guy with a soft heart"? He stopped playing dumb and said directly, "Although she hasn't said it clearly yet, I think she is willing."
"What?!"
Zhang San suddenly raised his head, his face full of joy: "Sir, are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true. How could I lie to you?"
Wei Changtian glanced over and jokingly said, "Zhang San, you have been following me for two or three months, and this is the first time I see you smile."
"Please excuse my embarrassment, sir."
Zhang San looked a little embarrassed, but his tone was still excited: "I am a simple man, and I never dared to think that I could marry a woman like Li."
"If it weren't for you, I would probably still be in the prison of the Ministry of Justice."
"Stop, don't say that."
Wei Changtian waved his hand to interrupt Zhang San's gratitude and said with a smile: "Since you two are interested in each other, I think you should go through the formalities and settle the matter as soon as possible."
"Anyway, Li is remarrying, so it's not appropriate to have a grand ceremony. It's enough to set up a table and have a feast at home. What do you think?"
"I will obey you, sir, but..."
Zhang San hesitated a little: "Sir, there are a lot of things going on in the Freemasonry recently. I am afraid that this matter will delay your important work. Otherwise, let's wait for some time."
"No need to wait."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "Zhang San, you will have a wife and children in the future, so you should spend more time with them. As for the Freemasonry, someone will help you."
Zhang San was stunned for a moment: "I wonder who you are referring to, sir?"
"You've seen it."
Wei Changtian's voice was not loud. He seemed to be answering Zhang San, but also seemed to be talking to himself.
"Chu Xianping."
