A few days later, the first batch of news from the 'Ming Society' had been sent back by those who had scattered all over Pingzhou City.

Li Yanzhi also led those scholars to record the news under the dictation of these bags, and printed 20,000 copies first.

This is used to test the water first, the first part will be sold to the hands of the major literati in Pingzhou through Yang Li's relationship, the scholars have the strongest ability to disseminate public opinion in this era, and their mouths can first beat the reputation of the 'Ming Society'.

Then part of it will pass through Zheng Wei, the prefect of Pingzhou, to some dignitaries and nobles, after all, these people have the strongest influence and the highest political sensitivity.

The last part will be sold by the 'Ming Society' to the major academies and the people, so that the commercial channels of a news industry chain can be opened up layer by layer.

If the effect is good, reprint.

Nanchu's rubbing technology at this time was already very proficient, after all, it was already possible to rub books, so it was not difficult to rub such a newspaper, there was no need to bind, Zhang Xiang had made a template for them in advance, and they just rubbed according to such a template.

Zhang Xiang also specially vacated the backyard of this cloth village and used it as a place to rub the 'newspaper'.

Although the paper in Nanchu was controlled by the imperial court, with Huating Academy and Su Shaoyuan's help, the problem of paper was easily solved.

On this day, after the rubbing of 20,000 newspapers was completed, Zhang Xiang also received a notice from Steward Qian and set off from the Horse Mansion.

Princess Gaoping also came with him, Zhang Xiang naturally would not hide Zhao Hanyan from this matter, after deciding to do this, he told Zhao Hanyan as soon as possible, Zhao Hanyan did not control what he did too much now, he could find something to do, Zhao Hanyan was a little happier.

Zhang Xiang went to the Qinglou a few days ago to make her feel very uncomfortable that night, and she didn't sleep well, but because of her identity as a princess, and she had acquiesced to him in advance, so she couldn't say anything, so she could only keep it in her heart.

Zhao Hanyan was also very curious after hearing him do this, so he followed to take a look.

The arrival of the two husbands and wives made the entire 'Ming Society' stand aside, because many people are seeing this legendary Princess Gaoping for the first time, the princess who is most favored by the old emperor, and now she is working under this princess, and she is naturally very excited.

Zhang Xiang and Zhao Hanyan each held a newspaper and watched it on the side, while Li Yanzhi followed and stood aside to bring them tea and water.

For the skills of news headline gimmicks, Zhang Xiang has taken the time to teach Li Yanzhi in the past few days, Li Yanzhi is still quite talented in this regard, and after Zhang Xiang taught, he quickly understood the seven, seven, eight, eight.

In his words, it is to use exaggerated and obscure statements to make people want to understand the content.

That's what curiosity drives in.

For example, the current news is about a thief who stole an old hen from a family, was discovered by the hostess, and then chased the thief a few streets with a kitchen knife, and finally the thief jumped into the river in a panic and fled.

Li Yanzhi wrote the title as 'A Tragedy Caused by a Hen'.

Zhang Xiang was secretly surprised when he saw the headline and content, saying that he had a talent for journalism.

For the excavation of news, Zhang Xiang has told those bags to inquire about big things and small things, and all of them must be collected, even if someone spits on another person on the side of the road, they must collect them, because these so-called small things are often in the market, those who are three religions and nine streams, small businessmen and peddlers, use to do things to talk about, these are the things that are most likely to arouse the interest of the people.

In modern parlance, this is social journalism.

As for major matters, those Bao inquirers also have experience, and they all know that they can make public and what they can't, and they all know that they are specifically recorded in another important newspaper, and only after Zhang Xiang has screened them can they send out these news.

After all, these bags were able to sell for money in the past, and they still knew the importance of these big news.

And those small aspects of social news, you don't need to inform him, after the rubbing is completed, you can send it out directly.

To be able to complete such a set of news models in a short period of time, Zhang Xiang thinks it is quite good, after all, this is ancient times, the requirements are not too high, and after a long time, it will naturally mature.

When Zhang Xiang smiled and read a few small news newspapers, he saw that Zhao Hanyan was still reading intently on the side, he didn't bother, this princess probably took such news as a story, because she still had a faint smile on her face while looking at it, and seemed to think that the content of these news was quite interesting.

Then Zhang Xiang asked Li Yanzhi to find a newspaper that recorded the big news.

At present, there are two things that can make Zhang Xiang feel that it is big news, the first is about the follow-up to the arson incident in the forester's house in the west of the city after the Mid-Autumn Festival last month, this matter can often be heard talked about at first, but after the Zheng prefect came forward to appease the forester, not many people have seen this forester, and now it is almost forgotten, and the follow-up matter is gone.

If this follow-up can be dug up, it will definitely attract attention, which is big social news.

This is also the big news that Zhang Xiang specially told those bags to inquire about.

The other is about the hidden assassins in the city, which Zhang Xiang told those bags to inquire about secretly, and if there is any news about these assassins, they must not let it go.

Of course, Zhang Xiang would not tell them that these people were assassins, he only said that whenever he saw someone with strange whereabouts, no matter who he was, he would follow them if he could, and if he could not, he would record the time, place, and events he had experienced.

This was also his first step in trying to find these Assassins.

If he doesn't find these assassins, he will always be stuck in his throat.

After asking Li Yanzhi to take out the newspaper, Zhang Xiang also asked casually.

Because of the records of these big news, he only asked Li Yan to record them personally, and in addition, those bags could no longer leak the news, so apart from them, only Li Yanzhi, who recorded these big news, knew best.

At the moment, the only one who can make him trust is Li Yanzhi.

Li Yanzhi also replied: "Back to the horse, there is indeed a bag of things outside the forester to inquire about, I have recorded it, please take a look." ”

Then Li Yanzhi pointed to the news recorded in the newspaper, and continued: "According to this bag inquiry, he happened to see a maid from the forester's house going out to buy things two days ago, and then spent some means knocking on the side, and finally knew the situation outside the forester, according to the maid, the forester took the rest of his family and a few trusted slaves after the fire last month, and moved to an old house five miles away from the city, and never came out, and the maid also said, This forester seems to have secretly bought off some spies to inquire about the fire in his forest mansion that day. ”

After Li Yanzhi finished speaking, Zhang Xiang also saw that it was almost the same, and what was recorded was not much different from what Li Yanzhi said.

Zhang Xiang pondered: "So, this forester also knows that the fire in his Lin Mansion that day was not an accident?" ”

Li Yanzhi nodded: "It should be so, in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the heavy rain poured that day, how could an accidental fire burn the entire Lin Mansion?" This forester is not a fool, and as long as he thinks carefully after calming down, he should be able to figure out the key to it. ”

Zhang Xiang had heard Zhao Hanyan say that Yang Lin, the head catcher of the palace, had speculated that the fire in the Lin Mansion might be related to the assassins who killed him.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so coincidental.

That night, the Lin Mansion was almost burned to the ground, this breath should be unbearable for this forester, and it is natural to find a Jianghu spy to investigate.

"Don't make this public for the time being."

Zhang Xiang told Li Yan for a while, and then went through the records, but after looking for a while, he didn't see any news about those assassins, but there was a record that attracted him, and it was about Kang Yu, the little son of Kangfu.

It is said that Kang Yu has been in and out of the Laolong River frequently in the past few days, and he goes there almost once a day.

Kang Yu's mother, Mrs. Kang, lived alone in Laolonghe, which was known to many people in the upper echelons of Pingzhou, and it was also known to everyone that Kang Yu regularly visited his mother.

It's no surprise that those packets often get these messages.

It's strange that Mrs. Kang has always lived alone, except for Kang Yu, no one has been able to enter that mansion, and it is said that there have been guests in Mrs. Kang's mansion these days, and Kang Yu seems to have gone to see those guests in addition to visiting his mother, otherwise it would not be so frequent.

After reading it, Zhang Xiang pointed to this news and asked, "Who inquired about this news?" ”

"It's Chen Qi, Chen One-eyed." Li Yanzhi hurriedly replied.

Zhang Xiang frowned and said, "After he comes back, you ask him to follow up on this news, and be sure to inquire about the identities of those guests who live in Mrs. Kang's house." ”

"Okay." Li Yanzhi nodded hurriedly.

At this time, Zhang Xiang suddenly had a heart-pounding thought in his mind, Shi Guangshun, those assassins, could it be related to Mrs. Kang? In other words, Mrs. Kang is the person who received them in Pingzhou.

He has a lot of reason to make this assumption, after all, Kang Yu's father Kang Qirui and his two elder brothers Kang Chen, Kang Hui both died in the hands of the Northern Liao people in the fall of Liangzhou a year ago, and Zhao Hanyan also said that Mrs. Kang hated his father.

If it were for this reason, it would not be impossible for Lady Kang to pick up those assassins in Pingzhou to assassinate him.

Otherwise, the government has been looking for these assassins for so long and has not found them, if these assassins are really hiding in Mrs. Kang's mansion, then it is normal to not find them.

After all, Kangfu is a 'loyal family', and no matter how bold the government is, it will not dare to search the house of Kangfu.

If his assumption is true, things are getting harder and harder......
