Le Jing had anticipated that this move would infringe upon the interests of relevant interest groups when he first published the article, but he didn't care.
As early as when he published his first article in the newspaper, he had actually entered the circle of literati in the Republic of China. Since ancient times, literati have looked down on each other. Which literati in the Republic of China has not been scolded by others? However, when Le Jing saw those critical remarks in the newspaper, he couldn't help but marvel at their sarcasm.
Some people say that the author is an idiot and doesn't know anything about prostitutes; some people say that the author is so desperate to be famous that he is stepping on prostitutes to attract attention; some people say that prostitutes are living a good life and the author should stop talking nonsense. However, these criticisms are nothing compared to the one from the person whose pen name is Nantang.
"I have also read Brother Night Watchman's previous article. In my opinion, the narrative and writing style of the article can only be regarded as ordinary. The only redeeming feature is the identity of the protagonist, the mouse. I don't know why such an article can attract the praise of Mr. Zheng Yiliang.
Then came the second series of "The Mouse Eyes Look Down on People" published in the "Literary Newspaper" this time. After reading it, I became more suspicious of the Night Watchman. As we all know, prostitutes have been legal professions in our country since the beginning of history. Some girls from poor families can only fall into prostitution to make a living. It is sad and lamentable. Therefore, some noble and kind people visit them from time to time out of pity, so that they can earn more money to support their families and save enough money to redeem themselves as soon as possible. This is a kind act with the best intentions, but it becomes hateful in the Night Watchman's writing. In "Prostitutes and Girls", except for the prostitutes, girls and mice, no one is a good person. This kind of reversed black and white content really makes me tremble with fear!
You should also have kindhearted people who are compassionate to women. I want to ask you here, have you ever seen such a horrible madam and brothel? Have you ever met such a prostitute with dirty diseases? In a brothel, girls can only start to receive customers when they are thirteen years old and their bodies are mature. Girls under the age of thirteen will be well taken care of by the madam, so the prostitutes call the madam "mother". If they are sick, the mother will try her best to treat them. Therefore, there will never be a tragedy like the young prostitute Baixiang in the night watchman's novel. "
What did the night watchman mean by slandering prostitutes? I was a little confused. I don't know why, but I suddenly remembered an interesting story told to me by a good friend. There was a good man who was not very virile, so he often spent money in brothels but did not get anything done. He was ridiculed by the prostitutes and girls he knew as a silver-like wax spear head. When he found out, he was furious and regarded this incident as the greatest humiliation in his life. From then on, he not only never went to brothels again, but also often slandered prostitutes and prostitutes in front of people he knew. It was sad and ridiculous to think about it.
After reading this article, Le Jing was filled with admiration. Otherwise, why would people say that scholars curse people without spitting dirt and kill people without shedding blood?
Look at this guy, in just a few hundred words, not only did he distort the truth and describe prostitution as a great deed that saved lives, and described the prostitute and the brothel owner as a loving mother and daughter, but he also turned the tables and maliciously said that Le Jing slandered prostitutes and brothels because of his impotence and mental abnormality. At the beginning, he also hinted that there was an unknown PY transaction between Le Jing and Zheng Yiliang. Look, this is the art of speaking!
Le Jing still had time to admire the other person's speaking skills, but Yang Jinglun was furious. "What nonsense! This person has such a vicious heart! Sir, don't worry, we in the newspaper are on your side in this matter! Don't be afraid of some jumping clowns!"
As a long-established paper media that was described by its editor-in-chief on its centenary anniversary with the words "a century-old good reputation, looking up to the world and having no regrets", the Literary Newspaper's pursuit of truth and justice is backed by history books.
Whether in the future or now, the Literary Newspaper is a famous newspaper. Every article published in the newspaper will be carefully read by the literati at that time. The Literary Newspaper has always adhered to its purpose of being the mouthpiece of the people. The manuscripts selected by the newspaper are mainly realistic literature that criticizes current social problems. As the saying goes, the butt determines the head, so no matter how the outside world criticizes Le Jing's article, the Literary Newspaper will do its best to defend it for its consistent purpose of running a newspaper.
Le Jing nodded calmly, "Which author has never been scolded? Let him scold, the breeze blows over the hills. Let him be arrogant, the bright moon shines on the river."
Yang Jinglun was stunned for a moment, looking at Le Jing with a surprised look, as if he was surprised that Le Jing, a teenager, could be as calm as a middle-aged man. However, since the original author didn't care, he had nothing to be angry about. He was just a little indignant in his heart, and he muttered in a low voice, "A bunch of bullies who only care about the strong and the weak. Why didn't I see them scolding Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhou when they published their articles? They are just bullying you because you are a newcomer."
Le Jing laughed. Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhou mentioned by Yang Jinglun were really not to be trifled with. The two were not boastful in their ability to scold people. Not to mention Mr. Zhou who had scolded away half of the literary circles, Mr. Wang had a glorious past of scolding someone to death. Of course, the person was saved in the end, and Mr. Wang's reputation spread like wildfire, and he became a master of verbal cannons in the Republic of China that no one dared to provoke.
But if Nan Tang was planning to step on newcomers to gain fame, then he had chosen the wrong person. Although Le Jing didn't care about the insults, he was not a saint who would stick out his left cheek when someone hit him on the right cheek. He would never swallow his anger and get into trouble for nothing.
There were many people who criticized Le Jing in the newspapers, but Le Jing just remembered Nan Tang, because his speech was too hateful. Before Nan Tang, the criticism of Le Jing in the newspapers was focused on the content of his works, but after Nan Tang launched the "impotence theory", it is conceivable what kind of inspiration it would give to those who came after him! Le Jing was sure that the subsequent criticisms against him would start to attack his life.
If this matter is not resolved soon, you can imagine how Li Jingran will be stigmatized in the history books of later generations. A great writer who was splashed with dirty water by his Japanese sister-in-law and traitor brother, and who was also believed by some people in modern times to have peeped at his sister-in-law taking a bath, has a lot to say about this. Le Jing does not want people in the future to mention him. The first thing he thinks of is not his works, but impotence.
Le Jing asked: "Editor Yang, do you know who this Nan Tang is?" This name sounds quite familiar?
Editor Yang really knew who this Nan Tang was. He was furious when he saw this article in the newspaper, and he actually inquired and collected basic personal information about Nan Tang. Unlike the low-key Le Jing, this Nan Tang was a high-profile person. Editor Yang told Le Jing all the information he knew about Nan Tang.
Le Jing: ...
No wonder he felt it sounded familiar, Nantang was just Tang Nan's name pronounced backwards? And Tang Nan, coincidentally, was the eldest son of the Tang Mansion, the backer that Zhang Defu had brought out that day.
Was it because Zhang Defu was holding a grudge that day that he brought in Tang Nan as a reinforcement?
It seems that he underestimated Zhang Defu that day.
Could it be that Tang Nan's fate this time was to vent his anger for Zhang Defu? Haha, the master and servant really have a deep affection.
Le Jing was not surprised at how he locked down his identity. The school had registered the students' home addresses.
He had already found his address, so it was only a matter of time before he could reveal his identity. After all, Editor Yang had been coming here quite often to collect manuscripts these days.
Le Jing wanted to fight back even more fiercely this time.
Le Jing considers himself a man of letters. As a man of letters, it is impossible for him to choose to take revenge by being put in a sack. As a man of letters, the pen in his hand is his weapon. He wants to use his pen as a sword and have a good fight with Tang Nan.
He still didn't believe that he, who had experienced hundreds of rounds of Internet verbal battles and keyboard warrior battles, couldn't be defeated by a psychopathic native?
With a plan in mind, Le Jing no longer cared about the ups and downs in the newspapers in recent days, nor did he care about Nan Tang's crazy clamor in the newspapers in recent days, and began to concentrate on preparing the next serial article.
He decided to make a fuss about the Tang Mansion.
Mr. Tang was a comprador capitalist, employed by foreign businessmen to assist them in conducting trade in China. In layman's terms, he was a profiteer who took advantage of China to enrich his own wallet. In later generations, he was considered a traitor.
Before the founding of New China, compradors, capitalists and bureaucrats combined to form the "bureaucratic comprador bourgeoisie", which was one of the three mountains that suppressed old China. Therefore, as soon as New China was liberated, they were liquidated and withdrew from the stage of history.
Thanks to Nantang's inspiration, Le Jing decided that the protagonist that Bai Xueshu saw this time was a comprador capitalist. A comprador capitalist who made a fortune from the national crisis.
Le Jing pretended to sigh in his heart, "What a coincidence, this traitor capitalist's name is Tang Nan, and he has a lackey named Zhang Defu, and the pronunciation is exactly the same. Isn't this a coincidence?"
Le Jing was oblivious to the world outside and focused on writing articles. Although Li Shuran could recognize a lot of words, she was still some distance away from reading a newspaper. In addition, she usually only bought the "Literature Newspaper" which published Le Jing's articles. Therefore, she was completely unaware of the wind and rain outside and went to school and studied as usual.
Then a few days later, the little girl came back crying. She cried miserably, twitching, her face was pale, and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably, as if she was frightened by something.
"What's wrong?" Le Jing touched her head and coaxed her in a low voice: "Don't cry, don't cry, brother is here, tell brother if you have any grievances, brother will take care of it for you."
Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, Li Shuran cried even more sadly. She said incoherently: "I, I, I'm... I'm sorry, brother, it's all my fault, it's, it's my fault, hiccup."
The little girl looked at him with shame, guilt, and obvious anger. She cried so hard that she began to hiccup uncontrollably, which made her look so pitiful that she was almost cute.
Le Jing finally managed to calm her down, and then he learned a truth from the little girl that left him speechless.
That Zhang Defu, not only let his young master scold him in the newspaper, but he also told Li Shuran about this matter as a topic of boasting, saying that this was the result of her not knowing what is good for her and not being shameless when given a chance.
Li Shuran, now 13, said tearfully: "Brother, you can scold me. The book is right. I am a beauty who brings disaster."
Le Jing: ...
The author has something to say:
①Excerpt from Baidu Encyclopedia.
That’s right, the miserable man who was falsely accused of peeping at his sister-in-law taking a bath is Mr. Lu Xun, who often appears in the center of our Chinese textbooks. Brother Xun is so miserable (wiping tears)
Brother Xun has a strong character all his life, but he has a traitor brother (sigh)
What a misfortune for this family.
