Compared with the coldness of the grassland, today's Rui can be said to be very lively.

The matter between Meng Shanren and Zhang Shanren continued to ferment, and it had already caused a storm in the city. Following the gentry from all over the world, many stakeholders also rolled up their sleeves and went into battle, of course, the vast majority of these people supported the Mirror.

A few little-known tabloids turned to Ming Pao to try to rub the hot spot, but it didn't take long for the news that they had been confiscated. How can it be so easy to sing against the gentry, imagine that Ming Pao is elusive? Sorry, that's not possible.

In the midst of this tight storm, public opinion inadvertently took a small turn.

One day, the Mirror newspaper suddenly published an article talking about it. Unlike in the past, although this long and sprinkling essay has the meaning of exculpating the Meng and Zhang families, it also talks frankly about the possible problems of the local gentry.

The article even states that the author believes that Meng and Zhang do not have the problems that Ming Pao claims, but if Ming Pao's accusations are true, then the two families should be condemned. The gentry is the cornerstone of the country and should be the example of the people of the world, how can they do things that harm the locality?

The implication: Isn't that a discredit to the dominant class?

As soon as this article came out, everyone was Spartan.

Okay, let's fight together to the end?

Because the author is anonymous, no one knows where the author is. Someone who was anxious ran to the newspaper office to question Xiao Jing, and he just smiled and said: "The article was naturally sent by someone else, but Xiao Mou, like everyone else, doesn't know anything about who this person is, please go back." ”

Some people also want to question why the Mirror newspaper published such an article, but then think about it, hasn't the Mirror always reflected the views of both sides impartially? This time it has sided with the gentry, and if it does not act appropriately, I am afraid that it will be spurned by many readers, and the original style will not be saved.

Everyone has a heart of self-preservation, even if the mirror newspaper is a little unbearable after being scolded, but the posture that should be there still has to be.

Therefore, people who were a little unhappy in their hearts did not dwell on it anymore.

However, the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop.

A few days later, Ming Pao, which was thought to have "run away", published another news, and this time the content was even more vigorous: some bitter owners were encouraged by public opinion and wanted to run to the government to sue the Zhang family while the iron was hot, but they were intercepted and beaten severely by the Zhang family, and finally had to give up the idea of filing a complaint and leave the country.

It's so deceitful!

The attitude of the people at the bottom has not been of any use in these years, but since the matter has reached the point of boiling public resentment, no one dares to ignore their voices.

As the saying goes, things hurt like that, and everyone is afraid that something similar will happen to them one day.

For a while, all the discussions on the streets and alleys were about how hateful these gentry were, some people secretly wrote articles to denounce them, and some people simply compiled the stories of the evil gentry into a script, and took the opportunity of telling the story to point at Sang and scold Huai and denounce it.

Those gentry who have not yet been affected are also vaguely aware of something. Their tenants are still very submissive on the surface, but behind the scenes, they often gather in one place and mutter, not knowing what to say.

Soon, all kinds of gossip floated in, so that they couldn't sit still.

People are terrible, if they are too high-profile in the current environment, the ghost knows if he will become the next target of Ming Pao?

After that, there were significantly fewer voices in the mirror newspaper, and some people even began to write with their real names, echoing the tone of the previous manuscript.

Anyway, the Meng and Zhang families are just small shrimps who have just crossed the threshold of the gentry, and in the spirit of "dead friends do not die poor", this pot will be carried by them.

Gradually, this situation turned into a trend, and then set off a new round of debate.

At first glance, the situation of public opinion is chaotic, but on the whole it is actually controllable. Everyone shouted, the high is just to adjust the door, as long as the government does not act, the matter will not have any substantial impact.

At this point, everyone thought that this was all there was to the story, but that was just the beginning.

Seeing that everyone was tired of arguing and couldn't come up with a result, Ming Pao, which had been silent for a long time, came out for the last time.

Yes, this newspaper came to an end, and after that it became a rumor and never appeared again.

However, its last message is extremely impactful, and it can be regarded as the most brilliant light with its last life:

The Yuan family in Caozhou has done all the bad things, and its evil deeds are too numerous to be written, and heaven will not tolerate it!

The article concludes with this comment:

"There are always people who think that it doesn't matter if they do evil, as long as their hands and feet are clean and their hands are vicious, no one will know about it. However, there are gods in the first three feet, and those who are not afraid of evil should not be complacent, the so-called Skynet is magnificent and negligent, there is always morality and justice in the hearts of the people, and there are always people who will uncover everything and put the truth in broad daylight. Then will be the day when you confess your sins......"

The righteous and awe-inspiring essay was followed by the Yuan family's crimes. Countless entries filled several pages, each of which had the name, time, place, and events of the bitter lord written on them, listing the Yuan family's evil deeds in great detail.

On the back page, Ming Pao published several letters purportedly written by the bitter master, the contents of which could be described as weeping blood word by word, and anyone who read them would probably be angry and angry.

Finally, Ming Pao wrote: "It is indeed embarrassing that this newspaper ended on this day, but if this can allow the sprout of 'righteousness' to break through the ground, then Ming Pao will have no regrets even if it has made flower fertilizer." This newspaper boldly asserts: Within a month, there will be people holding the vouchers to the Yuan family to seek justice and bring the thieves to justice, so you might as well wait and see......

At the time of writing, the newspaper was still sold. It can be seen that the people of Ming Pao should know something, but they are secretive and want to stop talking, making it clear that they want to arouse the appetite of others.

As soon as this newspaper appeared, the water that Ruidu had boiled but had never been able to boil finally boiled.

Now it seems that the bad deeds of Meng Shanren and Zhang Shanren are just petty fights, and they are simply scum compared to the Yuan family.

As a result, the Yuan family stood on the cusp of public opinion instead of them, and both high-ranking officials and nobles and peddlers and pawns in the capital suddenly cared about this family hundreds of miles away.

As a result, a new question arises: what should the people who used to puff out their lips for the Meng family and the Zhang family go?

It stands to reason that the Yuan family is a member of the gentry group, and they are quite statused, at least they are a chicken. Everyone is in the same boat, and it is also appropriate to take care of each other.

But...... Nobody does.
