"Garbage, it's all a bunch of garbage! It's really stupid to not even be able to do such a trivial thing, and to make it known all over the city! Stupid!

Why is there such a fool around Lonely! It's so infuriating! In a luxurious room, the second prince was furious, scolding and smashing things, and the whole room became a mess.

None of the strategists standing on the side dared to speak out, and they all waited like quails for the second prince to vent his anger.

But it's no wonder that the second prince is so angry, this matter is really too big.

Even the two strategists who proposed to buy the Literary Newspaper and the Beijing News did not expect that King Fu would do things so badly.

actually wanted to buy someone's literary newspaper for a hundred taels of silver, this kind of thing makes people blush just by saying it.

You can also offer a few thousand taels, so at most it is a forced purchase, at least it is not so ugly to rob.

This blessed king is indeed too greedy, and he is simply a little shameless.

But more importantly, no one expected that the owner of this literary newspaper would be so hard-boned, and would rather tear his face with King Fu in public than give up the literary newspaper.

Forget it, the most unexpected thing is that the owner of this literary newspaper turned out to be Mr. Chi Fei himself, who was famous in the capital and even in the north and south of the country. This was really unexpected by everyone.

If they had known that the literary newspaper was Chi Fei's industry, they would have acted carefully, and would never have so rashly handed over the matter to King Fu, who had more than enough success and more than failure. This is indeed their mistake.

Especially the secret intervention of the eldest prince later, which made things even more messy.

With the joint impeachment of the supervising imperial history, Dali Temple began to intervene in the investigation at the behest of the emperor.

Of course, the results of the investigation are false, and no one with a little brain will believe that Mr. Chi Fei, who is making money every day, will be a thief.

Regarding the disposal of King Fu, the emperor saw that he was his own nephew, and he did not impose a heavy punishment, but only fined him for two years and banned for one year, which is indeed very light.

It's just that from now on, King Fu's reputation has been stinky like a dead rat.

If the second prince walks with him again, his reputation will also be dragged down by him.

It's just that King Fu is enough, after all, this person is not enough to succeed and more than to lose, and whether such an ally is or not has little impact.

The most important thing is that this case led to the emperor Zhao Gongming who patrolled the city, and he was also dismissed by the emperor for investigation, which was the biggest loss.

The position of patrolling the imperial history of the city is very important, and it took a lot of effort for the second prince to successfully help Zhao Gongming up.

Now Zhao Gongming has been dismissed from his post and investigated, and his severity is second only to Zhang Ting'an, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, who was beheaded in the previous private salt case.

It can be said that in just one month, the second prince lost two games in a row, and both times the city was known, how could this not make him angry.

Just when the second prince was furious, and King Fu was cowering in his mansion with his tail between his legs, Chi Fei was comfortably soaking in a hot bath.

Today is his release from prison...... Bah, bah, this is the day when he cleared his name and regained his freedom.

He first went to the rented courtyard to find Zhang Xiao'e and Da Niu and told them that he was fine.

Zhang Xiao'e and Da Niu were overjoyed when they saw him come back safe and sound, and couldn't help cheering loudly.

The children who were alarmed came out to see him and surrounded him with great excitement.

After pacifying them, Chi Fei asked Da Niu to stay there to protect the children, and he took Zhang Xiao'e back to his courtyard.

After Zhang Xiao'e went back, she immediately helped him cook a large pot of bath water, and went out to buy a large handful of grapefruit leaves and put them in the bath water to remove bad luck for him.

Soaking in the hot bath water, Chi Fei really smelled like he had escaped from death.

This time he was able to escape this catastrophe, which can be said to be six points of manpower and four points of luck.

As long as there is a little bit of variability in the whole process, he may not be able to come back.

While rejoicing, he began to think about the way forward.

In fact, he had already thought about this problem in the cell of Dali Temple, and had a general idea.

First, he must not leave the capital at this stage.

Because once he leaves the capital, he is likely to be assassinated by King Fu and even the second prince in retaliation.

If he dies in a foreign country, he will only be hastily closed as a headless unsolved case, and not too many people will know about it at all.

If you stay in the capital, because of the previous incident, everyone is staring, and it will be difficult for King Fu and others to start.

Gu Long said that the most dangerous place is the safest place, and this is not necessarily true. But it was the most correct truth for his current situation, so he could not leave the capital.

Second, the soap shop may not be able to reopen.

First of all, personnel is a problem, no one should dare to resist the prestige and pressure of King Fu to come to his store as a shopkeeper and a partner.

Second, he feared that someone would use the soaps and soaps he sold to cause trouble.

Although soap and soap are not as easy to get into trouble as food in the mouth, if someone comes to the door one day and says that after using the soap and soap in his store, the whole body has ulcers or skin diseases, it is also a troublesome matter that cannot be explained.

Moreover, the price of soap has begun to fall significantly, and it may not be long before it becomes an ordinary daily commodity, and the money will be less and less.

In this case, it is better to stop from now on and sublet the store to earn some rent.

Third, he will continue to run the literary newspaper. It's not just for business, it's for his life.

As long as the influence of the literary newspaper is still there, if others want to move him, they will also weigh it carefully, so as not to end up like King Fu.

But as for the way of selling newspapers, he has to change it, and he can't use the old method anymore.

First of all, after this incident, all bookstores should no longer dare to consign literary newspapers, so as not to offend King Fu because of this.

There are also commercial advertisements, and there should be a large number of businesses asking literary newspapers to remove their own advertisements from the shelves, for the same reason.

In the future, the income of the literary newspaper will definitely be a lot less, and Chi Fei is mentally prepared for this.

Second, these kids can't be allowed to peddle newspapers on the streets like they used to.

The reason is simple, he is worried that King Fu will attack these young children.

To take the simplest example, King Fu could pay to hire a gang of hooligans and ruffians, and then maliciously provoke children when they peddle newspapers on the street, or even directly injure or abduct people.

With the blessing of the king, it is entirely possible to do such a despicable method.

Therefore, he could not let the children sell newspapers on the streets as before, and should have left them all in the printing house as apprentices. First, they can avoid danger, and second, they can learn a craft that they can rely on when they grow up to eat.

In the future, the entire newspaper office, including the printing house and the dormitory area, will be the main place for children's activities, so security precautions need to be strengthened.

Not only did they have to raise a few fierce guard dogs, but they also had to let Zhang Xiao'e and Da Niu move in, and they would manage the entire factory and be responsible for daily cooking.

When they are free, it is best to let Zhang Xiao'e teach them martial arts and self-defense, so that they can have some self-protection ability.

As for the sale of newspapers, it is possible to ask some adults to sell them instead. Earn a commission of two to three cents per newspaper to entice them to do it.

With such a high commission, it should attract some brave locals to join.

These are probably the three things to do in the future.

After Chi Fei soaked in the water until it was almost cool, he dried himself and changed into clean clothes.

When he walked into the hall in full dress, he saw Zhang Xiao'e standing there respectfully waiting for him.

As soon as Chi Fei sat down, Zhang Xiao'e took out the box containing the silver tickets he gave her at that time, and then opened it to reveal a thick stack of silver tickets inside, and said, "Master, this is the 16,700 taels of silver tickets you handed over to me at that time, please count them." ”

Chi Fei said helplessly: "In addition to buying those beggars to distribute newspapers from door to door, there are also the food expenses of so many people recently, don't they all add up to money?"

In other words, all you spend these days is your own private money? ”

Zhang Xiao'e blushed and said, "On the contrary, I still have money on me anyway." ”

Looking at this honest girl with some tendons, Chi Fei's eyes showed a helpless and warm look.

He really didn't believe in the wrong person, this girl is a person worthy of his life.

Chi Fei didn't count the silver tickets, but took out ten silver tickets of one hundred taels from the box and pushed them over and said, "I'll take the rest back, and as for these, you can accept them as a dowry." ”

"No, I can't ask for it, please take it back." Zhang Xiao'e pushed back in fear.

"I had long planned to give you a dowry when you got married, but now I'm just giving it to you in advance. Be obedient and take it. ”

"But ......"

"I'm mad if you do this again." Ji Fei pretended to be angry and glared at her.

Zhang Xiao'e put away the ten silver tickets with tears in her eyes.

After she put away the silver ticket, Chi Fei smiled and said, "You did a good job this time, if it weren't for you, I might not really be able to come back." ”

"No, you are so good at home, no matter what happens, you will turn evil into good fortune." Zhang Xiao'e choked up while wiping her tears.

"You can't boast about you if you want to praise you, forget it, don't talk about it.

Xiao'e, you and Da Niu may be very busy in the future, not only to take care of those children, but also to do other things.

In order to give Da Niu more time to help you, I don't plan to reopen the soap shop, and I will sublet the shop out then.

Because many people are afraid of offending King Fu, there may not be many people who dare to help us do things in the future, so in the future, many things can only be done by the two of you and those children, you have to be mentally prepared. ”

"It's okay, I'll do it." Zhang Xiao'e heard that she would be very busy in the future, but she was very happy.

This means that although there is no deed of sale, the head of the family does not treat her as an outsider, and is still willing to let her stay and do things, and she is finally completely relieved.

Zhang Xiao'e suddenly remembered something and said, "Master, Jian Juren has come to you several times, and Mr. Chen has also come to you." I've seen them, but I'm afraid to get in touch with them for fear of affecting your plans. ”

"I see, I'll write two letters later, and you personally go to their place and give them to them. If they ask me about me, you can do as you say. ”

"Yes, master."

For fear of implicating Chen Tent and Jian Shuqi, Chi Fei did not dare to contact them after the accident. It is estimated that they also learned from the newspaper that something so big happened to him.

Even now, it was inconvenient for him to visit them in person, so as not to be targeted by King Fu and the others.

Jian Shuqi is better, at least he is a child of a family, and he is also a new imperial examiner, even if King Fu wants to move him, he will have some scruples.

But Chen's family is a complete ordinary person, and he must not be implicated because of himself.

Because of provoking a top magnate like King Fu, Chi Fei must be more careful and cautious than before, and must not have any carelessness.

Not only do you have to think about everything clearly, but you also have to prepare a lot of things in advance so as not to be taken advantage of, which is really walking on thin ice.
