Chapter 481 The power of gossip

When the county government assessed officials, there were also a dignified minister who was practicing in a spirit and heard the whispers of the officials.

"I heard that Mr. Liu is a scheming person and serious person... he turned out to be a slut, so he asked the brothel as soon as he came."

"Shh... aren't they interested in our Lingzhou brothel?"

"That's it, that's it. After all, the imperial court officials and the prosperous capital are well-informed. People don't like the quality of our small counties in Lingzhou."

"The capital Lingzhou is close to each other, and newspapers in the two places are often circulated. I wonder what the capital people would think after reading our newspaper..."

Liu Yong also realized this. He just spread the news in Lingzhou. Lingzhou Daily is sent to the capital every day! He will become a laughing stock in the world in less than a few days!

Thinking of this, he was so angry that his face turned tilted. He barely left the assessment process and went to the six doors angrily.

An Sifang was not there, and Li Xiaorui was still sitting there writing. Liu Yong didn't realize what was wrong with this, so he slapped the table in anger: "I am not interested in any brothel! I have been a wealthy family for many generations, and I have seen all the famous people and never enter such dirty places!"

"Oh..." Li Xiaorui said honestly: "I understand..."

That night, Lingzhou Daily urgently published an emergency: "Urgent Statement: Mr. Liu does not like the filthy brothels, but only likes the famous socialites of a good family."

People from Lingzhou curiously bought additional magazines, and just took a look and "splashed" it, making them very happy.

Liu Yong finally realized that this was intentional. No matter what he defended, he could find room for any words as long as the other party wanted to perform. He could spread rumors? He could not say that he was talking about it, and others could witness it. But if they guided it, his original intention changed... This kind of lawsuit could be arguing about it when he fought in the court.

He suddenly felt a little scared. Once the newspaper became popular, he could actually use a pen to turn the world upside down.

Moreover, there was no solution for the time being. The people have long been used to interviews and reports from reporters of Xingyue Sect. The accumulated reading inertia and trust in long-term truthful reports are very high. Even if the prince finds someone to run a newspaper and fights against Taiwan, he can't beat it. Unless the daily review power is in the hands of the prince... can this be done?

The backstage of the daily newspaper is six doors... This is something Xiahou Di promotes with all his strength, and he personally hangs the editor-in-chief!

Liu Yong felt chill in his heart. Did Xue Mu see these a few months ago?

He couldn't sleep all night, and he was too lazy to go to the county yard to go to the pretext of the situation the next day, so he went straight to the city lord's office.

"Assessment" Xue Mu is the key to his coming to Lingzhou.

For the first time in Xue Mu's life, he was wearing an imperial uniform and sat in the government office with a smile, not even raising his butt: "Mr. Liu worked hard all the way, but this marquis was in a farewell to welcome him."

Liu Yong held his breath and arrived at the place with a grand inspection. He was not respectful. Even if the officials in the border area met, they would have to be polite. Otherwise, it would be troublesome to be sued for a lawsuit when they went back. Only Xue Mu sat in the main seat casually, as if he was coming to visit Shangguan.

Of course, Xue Mu didn't need to be polite to him. No matter what posture he was, this person was here to find trouble.

Liu Yong looked at Xue Mu's empty table and sneered: "Changxin Hou is so leisurely."

"Oh, it's okay." Xue Mu waved his hand: "Give tea to the envoy."

A little girl brought the tea up and said, "Hello, Mr. Liu!"

Liu Yong looked up and almost slapped the teacup away. Isn’t this tea-serving girl the hateful reporter Li Xiaorui?

"Oh, I forgot to introduce to Mr. Liu that Xiaorui is one of the eight guards of this marquis, and the reporter is just a part-time job."

“…”

Li Xiaorui put down the tea and blinked his big eyes and asked, "I happened to meet Mr. Liu here, so Xiaorui doesn't need to go to interview him... I wonder what Mr. Liu said about the brothel and the good family, and does it still need Xiaorui to revise the manuscript?"

Liu Yong had a dark face, without saying a word, and did not want to be distorted any more.

Li Xiaorui waited for a while and couldn't wait for a reply, so he bowed to Xue Mu: "Young Master, I'll do today's special topic."

Xue Mu waved his hand: "Go, do it well."

Liu Yong and Xue Mu had nothing to talk about. In fact, his "assessment" required Xue Mu to avoid it, asking the government officials and checking the political affairs minutes over the past year.

Xue Mu ignored him, and after receiving him, he showed his presence, he went back to listen to Qianxue singing... The girl who just got started was in a state of passion, who was patient with dealing with a bureaucrat...

Besides, if the reporter continues to be tossed by this, this guy will probably not stay for a few days.

Xue Mu left, Liu Yong and his entourage were busy for a whole day, sneering - Xue Mu had indeed not even had an hour of yamen since he took office, and he didn't know any political affairs. The county magistrate Zhang Bailing personally inquired about it in the city, the youngest was the chief of Lingzhou Chief Shi, and even the seal of the city lord was used in the hands of the chief of the city...

To be honest, even if there was no party struggle, this kind of city lord should have withdrawn long ago. Liu Yong never felt that he had been so righteous, and he left the city lord's yard with pride.

On the way, I saw a newspaper seller. Countless people gathered around to buy newspapers. Someone came out with the newspaper. Turned around and saw Liu Yong and his party, with an extremely interesting smile on his face.

Liu Yong's heart skipped a beat. Today, he faced Li Xiaorui clearly without saying a word. Is there anything else to say?

He signaled his entourage to buy one. The entourage was so crowded that he was sweating all over. Finally, Liu Yong took it and took it for a moment and tore the newspaper to pieces in a fury.

Today's Lingzhou Daily headline is as follows: "This newspaper's reporter repeatedly confirmed that in the face of brothels and good families, Mr. Liu expressed his acceptance."

Liu Yong was so angry that he trembled all over, and the people of Lingzhou were obviously overjoyed.

The daily headlines in the past two days are like watching serials. Although there is no plot at all, it is particularly interesting. Many people buy this issue of the daily to see what today's daily newspaper says about Mr. Liu.

As expected, it didn't disappoint everyone, and people would be shady if they didn't speak...

Even some people can see that Liu Yong was deliberately blackened, but he won’t care... It’s good to have fun. This is called celebrity gossip, even if there are countless people in a thousand years.

Some people even wrote to the Publication Department, suggesting that such reporting sections will be fixed in the future to make everyone happy. Just reading the major events and rookie scores, they still don’t know enough about celebrity information...

Li Xiaorui received this feedback and raised her chin to ponder.

She knew that the young master had this intention... When the gossip was deeply rooted in people's hearts, he could praise people as saints and defame people as devils with one word. Is the time almost here?

In any case, let’s take this Mr. Liu first and then do an experiment.

So the next day, Liu Yong gritted his teeth and continued to go to the city lord's office to collect iron evidence of Xue Mu's black materials, and saw Li Xiaorui again serving tea and water.

"..." This is really called the enemy's jealousy. Liu Yong never thought that a little girl was so hateful. He really wanted to cut this seemingly beautiful girl into 17 or 18 pieces with one sword.

Li Xiaorui was about to speak with a smile, but Liu Yong interrupted in advance: "Lingzhou Daily distorted its speech and corrupted its reputation. I asked the Political Affairs Hall for public opinion, and I asked for an explanation!"

"Oh..." Li Xiaorui still nodded honestly: "I understand..."

Liu Yong really didn't want to continue to deal with this hateful reporter, so he ignored other officials who should have been assessed. After hurriedly obtaining all the ironclad evidence of Xue Mu's dereliction of duty, he left Lingzhou in a mess without even having lunch that day.

This is definitely the shortest place he has stayed and hasty since he went on a tour with his inspection mission...
