Chapter 283 The Storm
The person who spoke was an old writer who had been working with the shop and has now been incorporated into the editorial department.
Pei Wen took it and took a look. The love story at the beginning was lingering and sad, the wording was unconventional, and the writing was fluent and beautiful. It was indeed good.
Pei Wen continued to look down, and his face grew darker the more he looked.
He took the document to the editorial office and said, "Everyone, please stop for a moment. I have something to remind you.
The story at hand is well written, but it has a fatal problem.
The characters in the story actually offended a noble person. Such a manuscript must not be used. Do you understand?"
Everyone nodded and said, "We understand, boss. We will review the manuscript more strictly in the future."
"Okay, then you can get on with your work."
Pei Wen withheld the manuscript.
In fact, they usually publish some mapping articles. After all, everyone treats them as stories and no one really cares about them.
But this one is different. I don’t know if the contributor is tough or stupid.
He actually used the homonym of the prince's name so blatantly that Pei Wen was curious about who this person was?
Since the story involved the prince and Master Xie, he felt that the matter could be big or small.
He still had to report to the young master to avoid falling into the trap of people with ulterior motives.
Xie Shuangbai was quite surprised to hear that there was a letter from Pei Wen.
Pei Wen is doing a great job and the editorial department has very considerable revenue. What else could possibly happen to him?
He first read Pei Wen's brief account and then read the story again.
Xie Shuangbai actually read it and found what the author wrote very interesting.
Not only are the words and sentences beautifully written, the emotional lines are also tear-jerking, and even the unforgivable villain Rong Ye is written to make people hate him so much.
Those who don't know will definitely be misled.
Xie Shuangbai couldn't help laughing when he saw this.
Rong Ye saw how happy he was and asked, "What are you looking at? Why are you smiling so happily?"
Xie Shuangbai waved at him: "Come and see, it's really interesting."
Rongye has been in a good mood recently. The border trade zone is developing very well and it can be said that he is making a lot of money every day.
With this money, he can do more.
He smiled and read a few lines of the letter. His face darkened. "Who sent this to you?"
Xie Shuangbai still didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, and was enjoying it:
"Someone wrote a manuscript and sent it to Qingyun Bookstore in Bincheng. Pei Wen found it inappropriate and sent it to me."
"This is such a treasonous statement that confuses the facts. Once this person is caught, he must be severely punished!"
"How come the person who wrote this article knows so much about the former princess?"
"And you wrote us in such a bad light. You are a foolish prince, and I am a seductive Daji."
Rong Ye was puzzled: "Daji?"
Xie Shuangbai explained: "We have a famous fox spirit there, and Daji is a synonym for fox spirit."
After hearing Xie Shuangbai's explanation, Rong Ye felt a chill of minus 40 degrees Celsius all over his body.
"This person has ulterior motives and must be apprehended and questioned."
Xie Shuangbai picked up the letter and looked at it. "There's an address at the back of the manuscript." He looked at Rong Ye and said, "Yuelai Inn."
"Rongyi, go to Yuelai Inn right now and bring this person back quietly."
"Yes, Master."
Xie Shuangbai: "Rongye, do you think this is unreasonable? I think this is just personal behavior.
If someone really wants to cause trouble, they can just print it out and give it away for free. Why would they give it to your shop? It doesn't make sense."
He thought about the content of the article again and couldn't help laughing: "This is a talented person, don't kill him, he wrote about me in a very interesting way."
Rong Ye was not as optimistic as Xie Shuangbai. He was worried that the emperor was playing tricks again.
The border trade zone has been very prosperous recently, and both Zhang Ge Lao and Nie Shaoqing have written to him.
It is said that the emperor always has a gloomy face when he attends court every day, so it is hard to say whether this incident was not the emperor's work.
"What's wrong with you? It's just an article, it shouldn't be a big deal."
Rong Ye didn't hide it: "The emperor has been a little dissatisfied with the northern border recently because of the border trade zone. I'm afraid they will take action."
Xie Shuangbai then became more serious.
"You're saying... someone deliberately arranged for someone to write an article attacking me for flirting with you, accusing me of being dishonest, and spreading rumors that you're mean and unkind, and that you were unfaithful to the former princess?"
The more Rong Ye listened to Xie Shuangbai's description, the tighter his brows furrowed.
"She and I have no feelings for each other. It's not an exaggeration to say that we are strangers. And I don't allow you to say that about yourself."
"Don't take it seriously, but if things are really as we guess, it will be a big problem."
Xie Shuangbai looked Rong Ye in the eye and said solemnly, "Rong Ye, let me ask you again, do you want to be the emperor?"
Rong Ye didn't say anything this time.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xie Shuangbai pulled him to sit next to him.
"You have such a bad relationship with the Emperor, and the Queen Mother favors him. Now he's wary of you, but what about a hundred years from now? You have to think about Chi'er."
Rong Ye suddenly laughed: "Are you trying to persuade me to rebel?"
Xie Shuangbai shook his head: "We are protecting ourselves. If we continue, they will call me a vixen. If I don't do this, I will be blamed for nothing."
Rong Ye looked at him and asked, "If I became the emperor, would you be willing to be the queen?"
Xie Shuangbai raised his eyebrows slightly: "Let's talk about it after you become the emperor!"
Rong Ye: "Then I'll fight for you to be the queen!"
"What are you going to do?"
"Aren't they going to force me? Then let them do as they please!"
"You mean... to escalate the incident?"
Xie Shuangbai felt that this matter should be handled slowly.
After all, rebellion is a big deal. Why does he feel that the two of them are preparing to rebel just by chatting casually? Isn't it a bit too casual?
"Why don't you wait for Rong Yi to find out the news before you look into it? I think this matter is still a little strange, but you can start making preparations first in case the emperor has a seizure."
Since Zhao Yimu sent out the manuscript, he has been going to the inn every day to see if there is any letter for him.
As soon as he stepped into the door today, the shopkeeper gave a signal and a group of people took Zhao Yimu away. They were so fast that even the people around him didn't react.
The waiter watched as a group of men in black fell to the ground in fear, then looked up at the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, this..."
The shopkeeper said seriously, "You didn't see anything today. Keep your mouth shut. Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, I understand!"
The shopkeeper sighed as he watched Zhao Yimu being taken away, "I didn't expect that this decent-looking guy could actually be a spy."
Then he lowered his head and began to fiddle with the abacus beads.
Zhao Yimu was covered with a black hood and was so scared that he couldn't speak.
Don't be fooled by his previous passion. At this point, he is really a useless scholar.
"Who are you? Why are you arresting me? I am a good citizen."
Rong Yi took him directly to Rong Qi.
Zhao Yimu was so frightened that he trembled all over when he saw the man in black in front of him and the torture instruments around him.
"My dear friends, I only have less than 10 taels of silver on me. If you arrest me for extortion, you've really got the wrong person!"
Rong Qi's cold voice rang out: "Wrong arrest? This wasn't written by you?"
