Chapter 61: The Ivory Evening News

Ivory Island Evening News?

Looking at the wooden plaque with black letters on a white background, the Marquis of Grande suddenly felt that his brain was a little insufficient, and he knew every word on this wooden plaque separately, but when it was put together, it made him feel inexplicable and incomprehensible.

Who can sue me, what is this evening newspaper for, and what is the evening newspaper?

Who do you ask me, who do I ask?" the butler's eyes widened, and the only thing he was sure of was that this thing, called the evening newspaper, seemed to be very popular.

In fact, it was indeed very popular, and many civilians and businessmen who bought the evening newspaper read it as they walked there, so much so that they hit their heads against the wall, and many people gathered directly in front of the evening newspaper office, and looked at it intently.

"The gods are above!" a middle-aged gentleman who had just opened the newspaper suddenly exclaimed with a shocked face, "Last night, a fire broke out on the pier of Ivory Island, killing seven people and seriously injuring twelve, and it is said that the cause of the accident was ......"

Before he could finish reading the news, the person next to him couldn't wait to reach out and grab the newspaper: "No, let me take a look, don't rob, don't rob, I'll lend it to you after I finish reading." ”

Before the words fell, in the crowd five or six meters away from them, a blonde man who had just seen the second version suddenly let out an exaggerated exclamation: My God, look at this, Mr. Philip went on a date with a dancer last night, but was caught red-handed by Mrs. Philip with a group of maids, and there were five marks on his face, no wonder he refused to go out to meet today. ”

A group of people around immediately blaze with gossip, and those who bought the evening newspaper immediately turned to the second edition, and those who didn't buy the evening newspaper hurriedly came over: "Where? Mr. Philip, as a wealthy businessman, is so afraid of his wife, it must be that he is making it up." ”

"How is that possible?" the blonde man triumphantly opened the evening newspaper and pointed to the headline on the second page, "Look at this...... Well, it's supposed to be called news, it's clearly written, and there are clear pictures of the scene attached, so you can see for yourself. ”

That's right, the headline of the second edition devotes five hundred words to the story, and there is a clear picture attached to it, and in this black and white picture, it is very clear that poor Mr. Philip is running away with his head in his hands, followed by his wife, who is five big and three thick, and a group of maids with brooms.

Hell, how did this picture get to the newspapers?

The group looked at each other, completely unaware of the rationale, but they were confused for a few seconds, and they immediately turned their attention to the gossip and began to discuss whether Mr. Philip had been caught after climbing into bed, or whether he had been caught before he could get into bed.

In the chaos, he suddenly heard a fat businessman shouting, rushed directly to the door of the evening newspaper, and waved the newspaper with his eyes shining: "Brother, I saw that your evening newspaper said that the Red Sea Commercial Bank has recently suffered losses and plans to sell a few shops at a low price, is this news reliable?"

"What do you say?" Lin Taiping took a sip of coffee slowly, "If I'm not mistaken, the Red Sea Trading Company is not too far from here, you can go over and verify it yourself." ”

It makes sense, the fat merchant was stunned, and immediately couldn't wait to leave, only ten minutes later, he rushed back with a red face, and shouted from a distance: "My God, it's amazing, the Red Sea Commercial Bank wanted to hide the loss at first, but after I took out the evening newspaper...... The gods are above, Mr. Lin, how did you get this news?"

didn't answer, Lin Taiping just smiled and showed eight white teeth, and at this moment, the businessmen present suddenly couldn't wait to find the evening newspaper, and they finally realized that in addition to news and gossip, there was more important business information in this evening newspaper, which might bring a lot of profits.

So, just a moment later, the front of the evening newspaper, which was already very crowded, suddenly became even more chaotic and lively, and the crowd that swarmed surrounded the minotaur who was selling the evening newspaper three layers inside and three layers outside, and even the defective product in Lin Taiping's hand was snatched away by someone for several times the price.

Some people are there to browse the heavy news, some people are to read gossip and gossip, and some people are to collect those business information, but in either case, the Ivory Island Evening News, which has just been issued, has immediately become a popular fashion after just a few hours of trial operation, and it is rapidly radiating to the surrounding areas with the commercial street as the center.

"What the hell are they looking at?" the Marquis of Grande looked at the carriage from afar, and the more he looked, the more puzzled he became, and his eyes were about to bulge out, "damn it, Gary, go get me an evening newspaper, now." ”

What can I say, the unlucky housekeeper couldn't help sighing, looking at the spectacular scene of crowding people at the entrance of the evening newspaper, he could only close his eyes and grit his teeth and rush over, and after another ten minutes, he grabbed a vague report that the evening newspaper returned victoriously, with a blue nose and swollen face: "My lord, my lord, I bought it, it's not easy." ”

Completely ignoring his invitation, the Marquis of Grande snatched the evening newspaper, and after only a few seconds of reading, he suddenly sighed, revealing that unbelievable expression: "Uh, am I mistaken? That little white face actually published an apology statement in the evening newspaper?"

That's right, in the lower right corner of the second page of the newspaper, Lin Taiping published an apology statement, fully expressing his apologies for the accidental injury, and deliberately marked it in bold letters, as if he was afraid that others would not see it.

Therefore, after seeing such a sincere apology statement, Marquis Grande's first reaction was that the little white face had his brain in water, but before he could come back to his senses, the butler next to him suddenly exclaimed, and pointed to the side of the apology statement with a strange face: "Wait, my lord, look here!"

Marquis Grande was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned his head to look away, landing on the important news next to the apology statement.

In an instant, the moment he saw the eye-catching title, his face turned directly from white to red, then from red to purple, then from purple to black, and finally it was as colorful as opening a dyeing workshop.

Compared with the apology statement the size of a tofu block, this important news is at least 500 words, which occupies a quarter of the page, especially the large headline in bold font, which is so eye-catching that it can be clearly seen from a few meters away.

"Don't forget to mess with flowers and grass during illness, a nobleman abused people's donations to recruit dancers"

It is conceivable that seeing such a powerful headline, a person can't help but read it, in fact, next to the carriage, several middle-aged men who have just bought the newspaper can't wait to read it out:

Yesterday afternoon, a person familiar with the matter revealed to this newspaper that a well-known nobleman who was running for parliament had been injured and recuperating at home in recent days, but he still recruited dancing girls to come to have fun...... It is reported that the high cost of the aristocratic recruitment of dancers came from the donations from the orphanage that he called on the people to raise. ”

Poof! Just reading this line of introduction, Grande has already spurted out a mouthful of blood, although this news does not name names, but as long as you contact the words election, wounded, and appeal for donations, even a fool can guess who the so-called nobleman is referring to.

Slander, slander, slander!

The Marquis of Grande was trembling with anger, his flushed face was smoking, and he looked like he was about to have a high blood pressure outbreak at any moment, and he swore by his honor that he had never touched a dancing girl in the days he had been recuperating...... Well, maybe I touched it once, but it was just that once, and I was caught by someone else.

Of course, it's nothing to bump into the dancing girl, but this news is vicious, and he actually said that the money he spent to find the dancing girl was from the orphanage donation raised by the people...... It's just nonsense, that donation has long been diverted for other purposes, and there is not even a copper plate left, how can it be used to find a dancer?

But the problem is that this incident is not explained at all, and in order to prove the authenticity of the news, this news report is also specially accompanied by a picture as evidence.

On this black-and-white picture, you can clearly see that several dancers with heavy makeup are twisting their waists and entering the Marquis's Mansion under the cover of night, although the appearance of the Marquis's Mansion has not been completely photographed, but as long as you look at the layout in front of the gate, familiar people can recognize what this place is at a glance.

Damn! damn it!

The Marquis of Grande was so angry that he couldn't control it, so he directly tore the evening newspaper to shreds, and then grabbed the butler's collar, and roared with a twisted face: "Gali, you idiot, didn't I sue you, you must pay attention to secrecy, why would anyone see this scene?"

The poor butler was sprayed with saliva all over his face, stammering speechless, he could swear with his life, at that time he was too careful to be careful, and there was no one nearby at all, but why did this picture still appear.

At this time, the people who read the news near the carriage had already begun to talk with great interest, mixed with sarcastic laughter, and kept coming in through the windows of the carriage.

"The gods are above, is the nobleman mentioned in this news the marquis?"

"Nonsense, who else but him? The gods are above, I really didn't expect that the lord who usually looks high-sounding, but in private is so despicable and shameless, I have always supported him to become a councilor. ”

"That's it, that's it, he actually embezzled our donations, if I see him next time, I must take a few tomatoes and smash them over, so that that hypocritical guy knows what shame is, this is simply scum, scum!"

Poof! Looking at the fragments of the evening newspaper at his feet, and listening to the constant ridicule and ridicule, the Marquis of Grande finally couldn't bear it anymore, and a mouthful of blood sprayed heavily on the car window.

The next moment, he suddenly pushed the car door hard, and under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of surprised and sarcastic eyes, he angrily walked to the door of the evening newspaper.

"Mr. Lin, I think, you owe me an explanation, an important explanation related to my reputation!"
