The city of Jinan on July 10 was as quiet as ever. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoPedestrians on the road are in a hurry, busy with ordinary lives. Although it was a troubled time, Shandong has not been in turmoil in recent years, and the provincial capital Jinan has never fallen except for one attack by Li Zhi's soldiers and horses. And Li Zhi only entered the city to kill the governor for the supply of cotton, and did not commit any crime to the people, the towns of Jinan have not been destroyed for decades, and the city is still prosperous.

The streets are bustling with people, but the sound of some scholars shouting in the streets is particularly harsh. These readers took the "Three Kings Daily" and read it aloud in the crowd. The newspaper was full of slanderous content against Li Zhi.

"Li Zhi had already colluded with Huang Taiji and agreed to attack north from Tianjin when the time was right, and flank the defenders of Guanning with the Tartars. As long as the Guanning army is a little relaxed, Li Zhi will send troops to Shanhaiguan to destroy our Ming Guanning defense line. ”

The masses who listened to the newspaper were stunned for a moment, and their emotions continued to rise and fall with the tone of the newspaper readers.

"The Son of Heaven has been angry with Li Zhi's treacherous ambitions, and he is only suffering from the fact that there are Jiannu outside, and there are warlords inside who do not obey the order, and there are no soldiers available. The Son of Heaven has secretly prepared tens of millions of military funds, gathered 150,000 loyal troops, and prepared to destroy Li Zhi with one drum. ”

When the people who listened to the newspaper heard this, they became more and more puzzled, and some people asked weakly: "Is the Duke of Jinguo so bad?" ”

The reader who read the newspaper put down the newspaper, waved his fist and said: "Li Zhi's wolf ambition is well known to passers-by. He dared to openly rebel and besiege the capital, what else did he not dare to do? ”

"Sanwang Daily" spread rumors for more than ten days, and the effect was not particularly good. The crowd of onlookers looked at each other for a while, some in disbelief.

A handsome young man in the crowd with a sword at his waist snorted coldly, and suddenly brushed his sleeves away. This young man wore a square scarf and armor, and at first glance he looked like a man who had read books and practiced martial arts. The behavior of the young people made the people who gathered around to listen to the newspaper even more confused about the Three Kings Daily.

The reader of the newspaper pouted, and then held up the newspaper again, ready to continue reading. But before he could utter a word, he saw a group of people in front of him running over from the north in a panic. A middle-aged man dressed as a scholar ran away and his headscarf fell off, and he rushed to the newspaper reader and shouted:

"Run! There are mountains, hide quickly, Li Zhi's soldiers have entered the city! Maybe you will slaughter the newspaper readers, run! ”

The reader who read the newspaper widened his eyes and shouted loudly: "Impossible, Li Zhi, the thief, is about to be defeated by the Son of Heaven!" He couldn't dare to go against the princes! ”

The middle-aged man who ran over stomped his foot and pulled the newspaper reader to run, but the newspaper reader froze there and refused to leave.

"Are you stupid to read the newspaper? The newspaper stuff is fake! ”

The middle-aged man was in a hurry, so he went up and slapped the newspaper reader three times with a bow left and right, and he was stunned to beat the newspaper reader to the point that his eyes were full of stars. Only then did the middle-aged man move the newspaper reader and drag him to the city.

Seeing this scene, the crowd listening to the newspaper looked at each other for a while and burst into laughter.

This is the second time that the Tiger Ben Division has attacked Jinan City. The soldiers of the Duke of Jin have always been benevolent and righteous, and this time they entered the city probably to deal with the "Three Kings Daily", and it is expected that they will not harass the people's houses. The people were not afraid of Li Zhi's soldiers and horses, and slowly walked back to their homes one by one.

After a quarter of an hour, only the sound of neat footsteps could be heard from the north of the city. Five thousand soldiers wearing plate armor held steel knives and entered Jinan City from the north gate.

Jinan City had previously stationed a hundred soldiers of the Tiger Division, although there were few people, but it was enough to open the city gates. It's not that the defenders of Jinan can't beat a hundred Tiger Divisions, but the five thousand Tiger Divisions outside the city are too scary, and it is obviously not the best strategy to use the mantis arm as a car. Therefore, as soon as the 100 tiger soldiers in the city attacked the north gate, the defenders on the city gate scattered as birds and beasts.

The defenders discarded their armor and weapons and went straight to hide in the houses.

The soldiers of the Tiger Division entered the city, walked on the avenue with neat steps, and shouted in unison: "The "Three Kings Daily" spread rumors to attack the Duke of Jinguo and incite the people, which is a great crime. The newspaper writers of the "Three Kings Daily" will all be asked and beheaded! Those who dare to hide the newspaper writers will be regarded as criminals and will be killed! ”

The people hid behind the door panels, peeking with their eyes at the tiger master who was not guilty of Qiu. Some of the brave opened the door and stood at the door to watch the march of the Tiger Division.

The 5,000 tiger masters walked to the drum tower, scattered in squads, and began to take people throughout the city under the leadership of the city's secret guards.

Zhong Feng stood on top of the drum tower, watching one after another the newspaper staff of the Three Kings Daily being arrested, tied to the drum tower and kneeling for a large part, in a good mood. When these literati fled to their houses, how could they withstand the search of the whole city by 5,000 soldiers? It's only a matter of time before they're caught all in the net.

When those literati heard that Li Zhi was going to behead them, they were so frightened that their faces were bloodless. These newspaper operators who were held knelt under the drum tower, weeping and kowtowing desperately, trying to find a way to live. There were also some gentry who hid the literati next to these people, who were also arrested and tied together.

However, no matter how these bottomless newspaper operators beg for mercy, they fell into the hands of Zhong Feng this time, and they were doomed.

Zhong Feng was very worried that these literati were all hiding in the Dewang Mansion. Although there are no guards in the palace, it is the home of the prince of the Ming Dynasty after all. If King De hides these literati, the Tiger Master really can't attack it, so he can only surround King De's Mansion and slowly threaten to persecute King De.

But King De obviously did not prepare to fight Li Zhi to the death, and when he heard that the Tiger Benshi was attacking the city, he immediately closed the gate of the royal city. None of the newspaper staff who tried to hide in the palace of the German king succeeded. In fact, although the three princes were named in the "Three Kings Daily", the specific newspaper matters were all handled by the literati. The Three Kings Daily slandered Li Zhi and provoked trouble first, and King De heard that Li Zhishen was seriously ill and entered the city to take revenge, of course, he would not set himself on fire.

Zhong Feng watched the drum tower for a while, then stepped on his war horse and rode to the newspaper office of the "Three Kings Daily" with his personal guards.

The newspaper office of the Three Kings Daily was on Yamen Street outside the governor's yamen, crowded with some of the city's best restaurants. Zhong Feng walked to the door of the newspaper office and found that it was a small courtyard. There is a red plaque hanging on the main entrance of the courtyard, on which the four big characters of "Sanwang Daily Hall" are written in Li.

Zhong Feng went in and took a look and found hundreds of sets of movable type printing equipment in the yard. However, there are only a limited number of rooms in the courtyard that can be used for printing and typography, and there are quite a few ornately decorated reception rooms. Apparently, the gentry in the city had used the newspaper office as a place to exchange views and denounce Li Zhi.

These gentry run newspapers unprofessionally, and there is basically no network of reporters, and they are still accustomed to gathering crowds to denounce that set of things. After this newspaper was shut down, the arrogance of the city gentry against Li Zhi was estimated to be much weaker.

The leader of the newspaper office, a middle-aged man in his forties, hid in the thatched house of the newspaper office, and was captured by the tiger master who was seriously ill and escorted out.

When the people saw that the newspaper office of the Three Kings Daily was occupied by the soldiers of the Tiger Division, they ran to see the excitement. They did not dare to come closer, and squeezed hundreds of people fifty paces away.

Zhong Feng walked out of the door of the newspaper office, snorted coldly, and said, "It's burned!" ”
