I don't know when it began, the people are looking forward to having the blue sky master who can punish the evil and promote the good for them, run corrupt officials, kill evil officials, and save the people from fire and water...... even to the point of making up lies to comfort himself, such as giving Master Bao three guillotines, such as asking Emperor Mazi to pay a private visit and so on.

No one could have imagined that there would really be a day when dreams would become reality!

Champion Hou suddenly came to Jinling, suddenly made a move, and immediately did Ma Xiang.

This top five richest man in Jinling, and a representative of the Jiangnan Road Council, is usually arrogant and domineering, and no one dares to care. But the Hou Ye came, and said that he would take it without the slightest hesitation.

Ye Daqingtian really works!

The entire Jinling, and even the surrounding cities, are in a state of excitement, and everyone is looking forward to it, watching Hou Ye's movements, the streets and alleys, and talking about it.

Ye Hua has never disappointed, after arresting Ma Xiang, within five days, he successively arrested seven Jiangnan Road council representatives. These seven people have a common characteristic, that is, as wealthy businessmen, their strength has a huge influence.

Looking at Hou Ye's actions, everyone else trembled, didn't it mean that Hou Ye was going to kill the local tyrants again and divide the land?

Tian is divided, and the factory and workshop are not sealed, what is Hou Ye going to do? For a while, everyone was frightened and at a loss.

Some people want to run away, but some people are also worried that they are running away at this moment, but it will attract the attention of Hou Ye, after all, although the world is big, it is extremely difficult to run out of Hou Ye's palm!

The rich businessmen of the whole Jiangnan are suffering, they are like fish in a pot, fried on one side, and then fried on the other side...... It made them fleshy and fleshy, and they didn't know what to do.

About three days later, Ye Hua began to arrest people again, but this time it was not the rich businessmen, but those newspapers and bookstores!

This time the arrest is too big...... Newspapers have always been more arrogant, especially those elusive reporters, who are quite conceited.

They always feel that they are the embodiment of justice, and they do the right thing for heaven, eliminate violence, and rely on them for the peaceful development of the world.

You can arrest anyone, but why should you arrest us?

What's wrong with us?

Even when the imperial court came to arrest people, some newspapers even issued special issues, shouting to the imperial court, threatening to give them justice, otherwise the world would not allow the imperial court to come nonsense.

There is even a reporter who bit his finger and made a book out of blood, "Give me justice"!

Public opinion in Jiangnan is like this, and even some newspapers in the capital have followed suit to express their support for the south...... The two echo each other from afar, and they really made a lot of movement.

The overwhelming pressure hit the cabinet.

The bachelors of the dynasty, including Li Shi, were all looking for him, and all of them accused Ye Hua of being too reckless......

Ye Hua has always been indifferent to gossip.

And as more and more things were disclosed, many newspapers died down, not daring to shout anymore, and some even turned their heads to stand on Ye Hua's side and supported the actions of the imperial court!

The 180-degree turn almost threw those who supported the Jiangnan press into the car...... If you don't do this, what about your discipline and bones?

In the face of Ye Hua, you are weak-legged, what kind of heroes are you?

These literati scolded loudly, but no matter how much they scolded, it was useless, and even the newspaper changed their words, what could they do. Anyway, the press in Jiangnan has been hit, there is another place to go, anyway, a pen in hand, I have it in the world!

This is what many literati think, and it is also their self-confidence.

But soon this confidence was shattered.

Ye Hua didn't come to Jiangnan to play, he made careful arrangements in advance and had a detailed investigation...... Ma Xiang bumped into the muzzle of the gun, this was an accident, but the plan to rectify Jiangnan had been made a long time ago, and now it is just a step-by-step implementation.

In response to Ma Xiang's case, Ye Hua wrote his first article...... Who is Ma Xiang? The big textile merchants in Jinling City have been doing business for generations and have accumulated a wealth of more than one million taels. In the past ten years, the number of looms has increased tenfold, and the output of silk has increased by a hundredfold! His worth and wealth increased tenfold, and he was successfully elected to the Gangnam Council and became a representative of the business community.

It seems to be a very inspirational wealth story that is worth learning from...... But sitting on a huge fortune and entering the Jiangnan Council, Ma Xiang is no longer satisfied with wealth, he wants more!

First of all, he bought the newspaper and wrote a series of articles to beautify him.

Tell the story of his entrepreneurship and promote kindness.

He also invited the reporter to see the workshop craftsmen's residences and dine with the workers, showing that he treated the workers well and benefited Sangzi, and also took out a large sum of money to donate to the academy...... After such a package, Ma Xiang became a famous Confucian businessman and a good man! Of course, he knows how much water is in it!

After becoming famous, his influence in the Jiangnan Council increased, and around him, many submissive parliamentary representatives gathered.

A parliamentary representative is nothing, but a gang can be formed, and this is unbelievable, and even the yamen at all levels have to buy their accounts, otherwise the newspapers will criticize them and no one will be able to stand it.

Moreover, the Parliament has a great deal of authority over many financial allocations...... This is not to say that they can block allocations, but they can question a particular budget and ask for an explanation, which cannot be used until the explanation is not clear, and this time can be delayed for more than two or three months.

No yamen can stand it, even the unscrupulous Trump can't bear to close the door! What's more, it's an ordinary official, who doesn't respect Ma Xiang and these people!

Ye Hua's first article analyzed Ma Xiang's situation clearly.

How can a small parliamentary representative be so unscrupulous and arrogant?

The reason is simple, he has money!

Relying on the power of wealth, he subdued public opinion, let the newspaper become his accomplice, and let those literati rub his rouge and whitewash to create a beautiful image!

Speaking of irony, literati often say, don't bend your waist for five buckets of rice!

But let's ask, six buckets, seven buckets, one stone, ten stones, one hundred stones?

There's always a number that will make them bend over!

To put it mildly, there is nothing in this world that cannot be bought, and if there is, it is less money spent! Don't talk about love, love and righteousness, what is the deep love, that is, the money is spent enough!

Spend the money in your heart and into the bone marrow, and once you break up, you will lose a lot, this is touching love!

Is it hard to buy a newspaper?

What does the newspaper point to live?

Many people will think that newspapers, of course, make money by selling newspapers!

But Ye Hua has a statistic in his hand, in the entire Great Zhou, all newspapers, nine out of nine, lose money by selling newspapers...... Their profits are all in advertising!

Take Jinling as an example, hundreds of newspapers, without advertising fees, within half a month, will collapse half!

And who pays for the advertising? It won't be a noodle shop shopkeeper, it won't be a grocery buyer, it's all rich people!

This is not to say that other factories are not allowed to advertise themselves, Ye Hua is not so domineering, but the problem is that the mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of taking people are short.

It doesn't take much, the advertising fee of 350,000 taels a year is enough for a newspaper to bow down and automatically filter out the news that is unfavorable to the owner.

controlled the newspaper, and pinched the literati.

At present, there are many literati in the Great Zhou Dynasty, except for those who have passed the imperial examination, other literati, especially those who play with the pen.

Publish scripts, poems, scripts, write reviews, travelogues, articles...... It's all up to newspapers, let alone a large number of freelance writers.

Is it expensive to buy a literati?

Maybe it's expensive, but there are also very cheap ones.

If someone else posts one or two articles, you can take one or two five, and if others send one article a month, you can send three articles!

It doesn't seem like much, but it can't stand the accumulation of time and the long stream.

Naturally, a newspaper can attract a bunch of literati.

This is the same as a star who feeds a lot of paparazzi.

Just listening to what they said, all of them are sanctimonious, all of them are the embodiment of justice, but when they are really dissected, it is clear what kind of tricks these guys have.

Ma Xiang's situation has been clarified...... In his workshop, in three years, five workers died unnaturally, including the little girl's father, and three others died of injuries.

In addition, he occupied the land everywhere, killed three people, and robbed 1,000 acres of mulberry fields.

He also colluded with officials on Jiangnan Road to sell a batch of low-quality raw silk to the military at a price two percent higher than the market price to make armor.

These things are all ironclad!

After investigation, Ma Xiang was not the only one, but the remaining six wealthy businessmen in the council also had a lot of problems...... And they also have a common problem, which is tax evasion!

The amount also exceeds 10 million!

With the omission of the case, more than 30 Jiangnan officials were implicated...... Li Yu and Pan Chengyou, two officials from Jiangnan, went to Jinling overnight to assist Ye Hua in handling the case.

After seeing Ye Hua, both of them were flushed and embarrassed.

"Master Hou, the Jiangnan Council is greedy and must be strictly rectified, I propose to temporarily seal the parliament and re-select the representatives, scum like Ma Xiang, absolutely clean it up!"

Ye Hua's face was solemn, and he knocked on the table and said: "As soon as possible, not only the parliament, but also the yamen, the press, and the academic circles, all have problems, and they must be investigated to the end." Don't let the officials go, let alone those who work for the tiger! ”

"Understood!"

The two people nodded vigorously, and after turning the sky, people came out in all directions, and the arrest operation escalated rapidly...... The most interesting thing is that many literati who wrote the article hid in the Qinhuai River, holding the girl in the flower boat and drinking wine, and their thoughts were like springs.

While they were enjoying themselves, the people of the court came.

It's all sealed!

Not a single one to stay!

The flowery women fled in embarrassment, and the sanctimonious literati squatted on the shore, their heads down...... At this time, a little girl, holding her mother's hand and carrying incense and candles, jumped up and down towards a cemetery.

"Mother, that uncle is amazing!"

On the woman's haggard face, it was difficult to hide her joy, and she said with a smile: "Yes, your father's revenge has finally been avenged!" "In Jinling City, I don't know how many people have similar thoughts......
