Five hundred and seventieth chapters before the catastrophe

This yard covers an area of ​​more than two acres, not too small, with eight houses in the yard, two wells and several orange trees planted in the yard, which is quite quiet. When Yan Liqiang left the Imperial Capital last time, there was no such industry under the newspaper, so this yard was undoubtedly newly purchased by Fang Beidou in the past two years since Yan Liqiang left the Imperial Capital.

The houses as warehouses are the ones on the lower floor of the yard. The ones piled up in this yard are printed and unsold. Two years have passed, and the circulation of each issue of the Macao Empire has exceeded 200,000 copies, covering the entire Gyeonggi area. The scale of the newspaper has grown several times. It can be said to be the veritable number one newspaper in the world. Of course, no matter how popular the newspaper is, there are always those printed and unsold in each issue. In the room of the yard guarded by Yan Liqiang, there are those newspapers that were printed but not sold in the end.

If it was Yan Liqiang's previous life, the final outcome of these newspapers would be to become pulp again, but in the Han Empire, this was too wasteful. In this era, it was a relatively closed era. The newspapers in the Imperial Capital and the news contents and articles in the newspapers may have been outdated in the Imperial Capital and cannot be sold. However, if it was shipped to other prefectures and counties far away from the Imperial Capital, even if it had been a year or two, many people would still buy them and read them, thinking that they were rare and fresh. Therefore, the old newspapers that could not be sold in the yard room guarded by Yan Liqiang will eventually be bought and taken to a farther place to sell. Of course, the purchase price at this time will be much cheaper, and the newspapers are also profitable, which is much better than turning into garbage and pulp.

During the day, old newspapers that cannot be sold will be received in the warehouse, and merchants will come to pick up the goods and buy the old newspapers in bundles. There are dedicated people in charge of these, so Yan Liqiang does nothing during the day. Only at night, when everyone else in the yard has left and get off work, it is logical that Yan Liqiang will take up his post. However, at night, except for Fang Beidou who occasionally comes to check, there will be basically no one here to check the post. Yan Liqiang is still free. This position and this job have become Yan Liqiang's best cover in the Imperial Capital City, which is perfect.

The old man was staying here in the past, but the old man was old and was transferred to the distribution point in the city by Fang Beidou to do easier work, so only Yan Liqiang was left here.

Two days after coming here, Yan Liqiang practiced alone in the yard at night, and left the yard during the day, wandering around outside the Imperial Capital City. He gradually had a look and plan for what he wanted to do.

For those involved in the vortex of power, it is a terrifying step by step, murderous intent everywhere, and if you are not careful, you may be crushed and confiscated. It is dangerous and unimaginable to outsiders. However, for the "ordinary people" who are now playing Wang Shagen, who is now playing Yan Liqiang, who is at the bottom, guarding the warehouse, and not fighting with the world, and only seeking food and clothing, it is calm and full of flowers and charming eyes.

The backer of the "Han Empire Times" is the emperor. In this imperial capital, ordinary gangsters and even officials in the imperial capital did not dare to cause trouble for the newspapers at will, so no one would pay attention to Yan Liqiang staying here. If Yan Liqiang did not do anything, even if he died here, there would not be many people who knew that there was a man named Wang Shagen in the yard guarding him.

However, others may not be able to remember who Wang Shagen is, but this name has been lingering in Fang Beidou's mind these days. Fang Beidou's heart is catching fire, but on the surface he still has to pretend that everything is as usual.

Finally, after Yan Liqiang came to this yard and guarded the warehouse for four days, the weather was coming to the evening. Fang Beidou, who came down from Longqi Mountain, was openly "stop" to the yard here to see what was going on.

The birds chirping on the trees outside the yard. When they heard someone knocking on the door outside the yard, Yan Liqiang, who was practicing under the orange tree, knew that it was Fang Beidou who was coming. He sorted out his clothes, came to the door calmly, and pretended to look outside through the crack in the door, and then quickly opened the door for Fang Beidou.

"Shagen has met Manager Fang!" Yan Liqiang looked nervous and trepidated.

Fang Beidou looked at Yan Liqiang from head to toe and nodded, "Ahem... Are you still used to here these two days? I'll come here to see..."

"Habits, habits, this place is much better than the big bunk shop I lived in when I first came..." Yan Liqiang smiled honestly and invited Fang Beidou in. Fang Beidou's coachman and the luxurious four-wheeled carriage were guarding outside. He didn't come in. The one who drove the car for Fang Beidou was Xu Enda's brother Xiao Wu. After not seeing each other for two years, Xiao Wu's body was stronger, looking in a hardcover, and a knife was on his waist.

"Open a few warehouses and I'll take a look..."

"Okay, okay..." Yan Liqiang took a bunch of keys and walked in front, opened the door lock of a room used as a warehouse, and entered the warehouse with Fang Beidou.

The warehouse is filled with bundles of newspapers built up, and a strange smell is filled with the whole room. It is a special ink fragrance mixed with the medicine bags of aquamarine and mugwort for insect prevention. It is not bad, but it has a unique feeling of quietness. Because it is a warehouse, it was stolen and caught fire, so the windows outside the room are sealed, and only the windows near the walls in the yard are open, which is also a quiet place.

"Be careful when you go to bed at night. You should not catch fire here. Also pay attention to insect prevention. The insect-proof medicine bag hanging on the pillar must be changed every two months..." Fang Beidou said absent-mindedly, but he was thinking about why he would not be abrupt when speaking. After all, Yan Liqiang did not say what was going on in the flying letter that came. He just asked him to arrange people, which made Fang Beidou even more curious...

"Okay, I remember what Silly Gen said!"

Hearing the sound coming from beside him, Fang Beidou's body suddenly froze, and he felt like he had been imposed on his body. This was not Sha Gen's voice, but Yan Liqiang's voice. The sound sounded serious, but when it fell into Fang Beidou's ears, it felt like there was a humor and laziness.

Fang Beidou turned his neck hard and looked at the face that Shagen, who was walking next to him, was one step behind him.

Shagen is still Shagen, but the smile on that face made Fang Beidou feel itchy at this moment. Fang Beidou couldn't forget this smile because last time he saw this smile, he was bare and shouting that Cuihua, I love you, and ran around the Imperial Capital. That day for him was like walking around hell and reincarnating as a human being.

"Yes... it's you..." Fang Beidou's throat was dry, his eyes were straight, and his words were not smooth.

"It's me!" Yan Liqiang nodded, "Cough... Cough... I haven't seen you for a long time, Shopkeeper Fang is living a very comfortable life in the Imperial Capital!"

Fang Beidou looked at Yan Liqiang, suddenly said nothing, and slapped Yan Liqiang's chest with one palm, as fast as lightning...

The smile on Yan Liqiang's face remained unchanged. He just waited until Fang Beidou's palm was about to hit his chest, and then he gently stretched out his hand and pressed it against the cold palm that Fang Beidou had slapped.

Just as the two palms were in contact, Fang Beidou felt that his palm was as powerful as a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no trace in an instant.

Fang Beidou closed his palms and stared at his eyes, his voice trembling a little, "It's you?"

"Of course it's me!" Yan Liqiang nodded.

"Why are you here?"

"Of course I'm here to fulfill the promise I had with you!" Yan Liqiang sighed and said with a slight gaze, "If I don't come again, when the heavenly tribulation comes, I don't know how many people in this imperial capital can run away..."

Fang Beidou's face also changed suddenly, and he was shocked, "What do you want me to do?"

"You don't have to do anything, just prepare to publish the newspaper at that time!"

"You want to write something?"

Yan Liqiang glared at him, pointed at his nose and asked, "Do you think I am young now?"

Fang Beidou nodded...

"So I want to live a few more years, and do you think anyone will believe what I wrote?"

"What about that?"
