Chapter 788: Being Caught Off Guard (Part 3)



Life Show’s counterattack against the Imperial College was fierce and intense.

It's like the strongest liquor, the smell alone is almost unbearable, and a sip of it burns my throat.

The Imperial College was beaten to a pulp and looked confused.

"How is that possible?"

"Where did the Life Show dig up this inside information? They even know things that happened decades ago."

"I've been in the Imperial College for so many years, and I don't know anything about these things. Where did Life Show dig this out from?"

"There's a traitor! There must be a traitor who betrayed the Imperial College."

The traitor's remarks were rampant, and the entire Imperial College was filled with indignation.

"You're such a coward! You actually use a pen name."

"Not using real names, hiding one's true identity, this lifestyle show is not only shameless but also has no moral boundaries."

"We must not let this matter go unpunished. We must not allow the life show to bully our Imperial College."

"The Imperial College is facing a critical moment of survival. Everyone in the Imperial College must unite."

"If our Imperial College were defeated by a mere lifestyle show, how could we maintain our dignity? How could we face the world's students? How could we face the gaze of the world? Thousands of years from now, when future generations discuss our Imperial College, we would be humiliated today."

"If we don't fight back, if we don't defeat Life Show, Wenqing Bookstore, and the Shanhe Academy behind them, you, me, and everyone in the Imperial College will be nailed to the pillar of shame. Every one of us will be cursed by future generations."

The expose of the life show article details the glorious tradition of the Imperial College, how it oppressed students, suppressed colleagues, and flattered the superiors and bullied the subordinates...

All these negative news directly pushed the Imperial College to the forefront of public opinion.

Behind him is a bottomless abyss.

If we don't fight back, everyone in the Imperial College will be killed without a burial place.

The situation is very serious.

The Imperial College was in a state of emergency.

The life show that they had originally ignored was suddenly hit hard, catching everyone in the Imperial College off guard.

This taste...

Hard to describe.

“There are experts in the life show!”

"What master? He's clearly a traitor. A traitor has betrayed Li Guozijian. This person must be dug out."

"Yes, the traitor must be dug out."

This episode of the lifestyle show sold out like crazy.

Huang Qubing took a big gamble and directly placed an order for 80,000 copies with the printing workshop, which was 30,000 more than the 50,000 copies he ordered last time when he exposed Cai Zhongshan.

The servant Samshun was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to sell all the goods, so he muttered to himself like a monk chanting sutras.

Chen Zhuangshi replaced Huang Qubing and slapped Sanshun on the head. "What are you afraid of?! If it were you, I'd just print 100,000 or 200,000 copies. If they can't sell out, Shanhe Academy will take care of it and give it away for free, one copy per person..."

"Don't give me such bad advice." The servant Sanshun looked down on Chen Zhuangshi. "You don't understand business or marketing, and you can only write a few sarcastic articles. Don't show off your intelligence in front of me, or people will laugh at you."

Chen Zhuangshi was beaten to a pulp.

Huang Qubing gave a thumbs up, "Good! Very good!"

To deal with someone like Chen Zhuangshi, whose face is as thick as a city wall, you have to find someone more venomous than him.

The servant Samsoon proudly took on this heavy responsibility.

Chen Zhuangshi pointed at himself and said, "I have no intelligence? I have no brains? Look carefully, I am..."

The servant Sanshun didn't wait for him to finish and directly retorted, "You are just a scholar who couldn't even pass the imperial examination. What's there to show off? Master Yan is also an imperial scholar after all. Eight out of ten of those gunmen in the backyard are scholars."

Hahaha……

Huang Qubing was so happy that he died.

It was really satisfying to see Chen Zhuangshi being left speechless by the criticism.

Chen Zhuangshi's mouth twitched. He actually lost to San Shunshou. It was ridiculous. It was even more shameful.

Sanshun's words left Chen Zhuangshi speechless. He waved goodbye and left without a cloud in his sight.

Chen Zhuangshi was left alone in the wind, crying with tears streaming down his face.

Stealing jobs!

There is no way to survive!

You can't play it like this.

Let's not break the rules of the game, okay?

Oh, oh, oh…

Yan Ci passed by him, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly: "When a scholar meets a soldier, he can't make sense. Brother Chen, just accept your fate."

You can't just accept your fate!

"Next time, it's not certain who will win or lose."

Yan Ci said, "I'm going to sleep now. Brother Chen, would you like to join me?"

Chen Zhuangshi was heartbroken. "No! Brother Yan, go to sleep alone. Remember to wash up before going to sleep."

Yan Ci looked down at himself and said, "I feel I am very clean."

Chen Zhuangshi couldn't help but say, "Brother Yan, don't you know that you already have a smell. You are already a person with smell."

"Really? All my hard work these days has paid off. I've even started to smell. Thanks for reminding me, Brother Chen. I'll go wash it now. Do you want to join me?"

Chen Zhuangshi collapsed again. Yan Ci must have gone crazy writing books.

He shook his head repeatedly. "Thank you, Brother Yan, for your invitation. I've already washed. You can go wash yourself."

Yan Ci looked regretful, "What a pity, you've already washed it."

Chen Zhuangshi's eyebrows twitched. What's so regrettable about it?

Everyone in Wenqing Bookstore is a weirdo.

Even the originally normal harsh words became abnormal.

When Chen Zhuang was really depressed, the lifestyle show sold like crazy.

Eighty thousand copies, all sold out by evening.

People in the streets and alleys were discussing the Imperial College and who would win and lose in this war of words.

It seems that no one cares about the negative news about the Imperial College. Instead, everyone is looking forward to how the Imperial College will fight back.

Which direction will this war of words go?

As expected, the casino followed the trend and quickly modified the odds.

If you bet on Life Show to win, the odds will be adjusted from one to four to one to two.

If you bet on the Imperial College to win, the odds will be adjusted from one to two to one to five.

Obviously, the casino is more optimistic about the lifestyle show and has lost confidence in the Imperial College.

"If the Imperial College doesn't use its trump card, this battle will undoubtedly be lost."

"Looking at the article exposing the Imperial College, it's clear it's not finished yet. There must be more tricks hidden behind the lifestyle show."

"With so much negative information exposed about the Imperial College, it's going to be hard to win."

"That's not necessarily true. Speaking of negative information, doesn't Shanhe Academy have it? The students at Shanhe Academy have even more complex backgrounds. As long as you're interested, you can always dig up some useful information. And then there are the teachers at Shanhe Academy, especially Yang Yuanqing, the Third Master. Doesn't he have enough negative information?"

"The life show's wording is really interesting. I think the word 'black material' is used very well, directly and vividly. And the exposing is particularly intuitive."

"Don't change the subject, we are discussing the negative information about Shanhe Academy."

"That's the Imperial College's concern. We in the casino only care about winning or losing."

"We can also manipulate the outcome. For example, we can help the Imperial College... hehe..."

"Don't mess around. We can't afford to offend either side. Be careful not to lose more than you gain."

"Both sides have strong connections and backgrounds, and we can't afford to offend them."

Even though summer has passed for a long time, the sky in the capital is still extremely hot.

This heat, of course, comes from the war of words between Guozijian and Life Show.

It has attracted the attention of the whole city.

The bigwigs in the court also sold every issue without missing a single one.

In the palace, the empress and concubines now have an additional entertainment, which is to watch the life show and the quarrels between the Imperial College. It can not only kill time, but also provide topics to talk about with Emperor Wende, and it is not taboo.

Queen Pei was a little worried.

She was worried that the lifestyle show would end up shooting itself in the foot.

She ordered Liu Zhao to be invited to the Weiyang Palace and said straight to the point, "What exactly do you and Gu Jiu want to do? If I'm not mistaken, this lifestyle show was organized by Gu Jiu."

"It was done by Huang Qubing."

"Hmph! Don't try to fool me. Huang Qubing also listens to Gu Jiu. Tell me, what exactly are you and Gu Jiu planning? Confronting the Imperial College directly and publicly exposing its dirty laundry is incurring public wrath, a slap in the face of the court, and a slap in the face of His Majesty. Be careful of His Majesty's punishment."

Queen Pei's worries were not unfounded.

After all, the Imperial College represents the dignity of the imperial court. It looks quite scary to have its dark secrets exposed to the public.

Liu Zhao said, "My Queen Mother, you worry too much."

Bang!

Empress Pei threw the life show on the table. "I'm not worrying too much. It's just that you and Gu Jiu don't trust me at all. You always think I'm shallow and will hold you back, and you always act on your own. I'm often the last to know about your affairs. It's really ridiculous."

I won't bother with you for now about everything that's happened over the years. Just a life show. You can't go on like this. You're playing with fire, looking for trouble. Be careful, you're playing with fire, you'll only end up burying yourself in the hole you're digging."

"It's not as serious as my mother said." Liu Zhao downplayed it.

Empress Pei sneered, "When your father is furious, you will know how serious the situation is. Tell Gu Jiu, women, don't imitate men in stirring up trouble all day long. Don't learn to play with fire."

Liu Zhao said, "In the eyes of the Emperor, there are obviously more important things to worry about than the bickering between Life Show and the Imperial College. Life Show and the Imperial College are, after all, just a farce, adding a little entertainment to the people of the capital. It's not a big deal, and it's not worth fussing over."

Empress Pei laughed in anger. "Very well, I'll see how you resolve this. When His Majesty comes to question me, I hope you'll still be so convinced that this is a trivial matter."

Liu Zhao smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, mother. My son said this is a small matter, so it won't become a big deal."

Empress Pei snorted, "Don't be so confident. Plans can't keep up with changes, and you'll always suffer losses."
