34 Little Lark

"I know!" Yang Ding said.

Xiao Weiyin asked again: "So who founded this newspaper, do you know?"

"I know!" Yang Ding said again.

"Who is this person? Where does he live?" Xiao Weiyin asked.

Yang Ding smiled and said: "What is Miss Xiao looking for that person for?"

Xiao Weiyin said: "I want to know who is this talented man who has made trouble in Jinan and Qingzhou Prefecture recently?"

"Oh? Does Miss Xiao think this man is a talented man?" Yang Ding secretly said proudly.

Xiao Weiyin said: "I don't know if this person is a genius, but I am sure that his level of making trouble is not inferior to that of Tang Luoluo!"

Yang Ding was a little stunned. He really didn't know whether Miss Xiao was praising him or hurting him.

Yang Ding smiled bitterly and shook his head, pointed at his nose, and said, "I am the person Miss Xiao is looking for!"

Xiao Weiyin's expression did not change at all, as if he had verified his guess, Xiao Weiyin said: "It is indeed you. It's a pity that you are so good and can't follow me around the world!"

Ah? What kind of thinking is this? Shouldn't I take part in the imperial examination if I'm so talented? Why would it be a pity not to follow her?

"Miss Xiao, I don't have any objection to letting you go to the end of the world with your sword, but I won't agree to let you become a monk!" Yang Ding said with a smile.

"What? Do you have an opinion about monks?"

Looking at Xiao Weiyin's smart eyes, Yang Ding hurriedly said: "No, no, how could I have any objections to monks? I have a worldly heart and can't bear to part with this wonderful world. To put it bluntly, I'm just a layman, and I don't have much thought.

It has not reached that level of sublimation. By the way, why does Miss Xiao want to become a monk?"

Xiao Weiyin said: "My mother is a monk, shouldn't I become a monk?"

Nani? What kind of reason is this? If the mother is a monk, does the child have to become a monk? No, Miss Xiao said her mother is a monk. So did Miss Xiao’s mother become a monk after giving birth to her or while she was a monk?

she?

"Miss Xiao, since you are here because of the White Lotus Saint, I would like to ask the girl for a favor!"

"Help? What help?" Xiao Weiyin asked.

Yang Ding said: "On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I am going to Haidai Tower in Qingzhou Prefecture. I wonder if Miss Xiao can go outside the city for me?"

"Haidailou, are you going to participate in the poetry meeting? Do you know that the students in Jinan and Qingzhou regard you as a formidable enemy?" Xiao Weiyin said.

Yang Ding smiled bitterly and said: "I know, I have a reason to go, and I don't understand. It's just a few strange novels. How can I offend all the scholars in Jinan and Qingzhou in a confused way?"

Xiao Weiyin said in surprise: "Why, you don't know why the scholars in Jinan and Qingzhou hate you?"

Yang Ding shook his head, and Xiao Weiyin said: "The reason why you offended the scholars in Jinan and Qingzhou is not because of your few strange novels, but because of the twelve constellations you created!"

"Twelve constellations? The twelve constellations are purely for entertainment, for everyone's entertainment. How could they offend the scholars in Jinan and Qingzhou?" Yang Ding asked curiously.

Xiao Weiyin said: "The strange thing about this is that you shouldn't use the things of your ancestors to make random changes. Anyone with a discerning eye will know these twelve constellations at a glance.

The source is from the twelve zodiac signs, and you have twelve places governed by solar terms and evolved into twelve constellations, so those scholars think that you are blaspheming the saints and using something that has no basis and theory at all to make a false statement.

The incident was intended to entertain the public, so it was targeted by scholars in Jinan and Qingzhou."

Yang Ding scratched his head helplessly. The twelve constellations were part of the evolution of Western culture. It could also be said to be part of ancient astronomy. Yang Ding seemed to have forgotten the conflict between Chinese and Western cultures. In this era, if he wanted to combine the ten

The localization of the two constellations must be more thorough and cannot be so ambiguous.

Seeing that Yang Ding was silent for a long time, Xiao Weiyin continued: "Actually, there is another important reason that causes the displeasure of the scholars in Jinan and Qingzhou."

"Oh? What's the reason?" Yang Ding asked.

Xiao Weiyin said: "Although the scholars in Jinan and Qingzhou don't like your setting of the twelve constellations and think that these so-called constellations lack roots, the women in the boudoir of Jinan and Qingzhou like it very much. That's why

The reason why your twelve zodiac signs are so hated!"

No wonder those well-dressed scholars are unhappy with me. It turns out that I am too popular with women!

"When you published this newspaper, you shouldn't have put the stories about monsters and the twelve zodiac signs together. If you could have printed them separately at that time, this problem would not have arisen. Did you say that you planned to sell this newspaper to readers?

Sold to the boudoir lady?"

Yang Ding sighed softly and said: "This is really a problem. It seems that in the next issue I will divide this newspaper into two and change it into a men's newspaper and a women's newspaper!"

"Men's newspaper and women's newspaper? This is a good idea!"

Yang Ding said: "Since Miss Xiao knows my difficulties, are you willing to go out for me on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Xiao Weiyin said: "I just want to ask you, if I pretend to be you, will you dare to take responsibility for what I do?"

Yang Dingdao: "On Mid-Autumn Festival night, you are me, and what you do is what I do!"

"Okay, in that case, I promise you, but I am a woman after all. It is still difficult to completely dress up as you. If I can cover up on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I can guarantee that at least 90% of the time I will look like you.

!”

"Ninety percent? How is Miss Xiao going to dress up as me?" Yang Ding asked with interest.

Xiao Weiyin said: "If you are short, you can find ways to make yourself taller. If you are thin, you can find ways to gain weight. The makeup on your face can also be changed. It is not surprising that these are all tricks. The only thing that is difficult to fake is the voice. When I was a child, I had

It’s a nickname given to me by my mother, do you know what it is?”

Yang Ding shook his head, Xiao Weiyin said: "Little Bailing!"

"Little Bailing? Could it be that Miss Xiao's voice can--"

Just when Yang Ding was suspicious, Xiao Weiyin suddenly changed his voice and said: "Brother Qin, why did you come so late? It's so hard for me to wait!"

This voice, no matter the tone, intonation, or even the speed of speaking, is exactly the same as Yang Ding's. Even though Yang Ding's true self is here at the moment, it is difficult to tell which words were spoken by him and which words were spoken by Xiao Weiyin.

Yang Ding suddenly realized at this time: "On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, although the moonlight is bright, it is still night after all. If I can make Miss Xiao mask her face and dress up as me, no one will find out that I am not in Le'an."

, so I can appear in Qingzhou Mansion openly that night!"

"Yes, masking is a must, otherwise it's all just talk! By the way, I just returned your clothes before you give them back to me!"

The next day, the government office.

"Mask? Brother Yang, we are soldiers, they are thieves, what kind of masks are we wearing?" Qin Zhong suddenly became confused when he heard Yang Ding suggested that he should mask himself when he captured the remnants of White Lotus tomorrow night.

Yang Ding said: "Brother Qin, why are you confused? Please tell me, brother Qin, where are those followers of the White Lotus Sect from?"

Qin Zhong was stunned and said: "They are all innocent people in our Le'an County who have been bewitched by the White Lotus Sect. What's wrong, Brother Yang? Isn't what I said wrong?"

Yang Ding smiled and said: "Yes, of course, but Brother Qin, have you ever thought that these innocent people are also our neighbors and friends, and some are even our relatives. Do you think that if we don't cover our faces tomorrow, you

How can we, the county government’s police officers, arrest them? Even if we can arrest them, what will happen next? How will we face these neighbors and relatives in the future?”

"Yes, Mr. Yang is absolutely right. If we cover our heads tomorrow and all change into official uniforms, even if they know that we are their neighbors and relatives, they will not be able to recognize who we are. At that time, as long as our subordinates remain

Just be careful and it will be easy to meet each other in the future!" Qin Zhong suddenly said.

"Yes, this is exactly the truth!"

Qin Captou said with some embarrassment: "Brother Yang, I can make them all mask their faces for the more than twenty brothers under my command, but this time the White Lotus Sect and the Wu Sheng Sect have a large number of people, and Mr. Sun has already written a letter requesting the prefect to send troops.

Assisted, I’m afraid when the time comes---"

Yang Dingdao: "Brother Qin, as the saying goes, life and death are determined by fate and wealth. Another purpose of our masking is to let our brothers save as many people as possible who are familiar to us. We are small, White Lotus Sect, Wu Sheng Sect and

There are many officers and soldiers, so it is impossible for us to save everyone, and there will be a melee between the three parties!"

"Yes, yes, that's what Brother Yang said. I will summon the brothers today to give them instructions!"

After Qin BaTou left, Yang Ding sighed that Qin Zhong was a very good person. Qin BaTou was born and raised in Le'an County, and everything he did was to protect the safety of the people of Le'an County as much as possible, and he truly maintained the safety of one side.

, This is a blessing for the people of Le'an County.

After returning home, Yue Gang and Yue Ya came over again. Yang Ding took the opportunity to tell Yue Gang that he was going to split the fourth issue of the newspaper into two. One of them was called "Liao Zhai Taobao" and was dedicated to publishing some novelties.

Weird short stories, and another one called "The Horoscope Tabloid", which publishes the twelve zodiac signs.

"Liao Zhai Taobao" mainly uses ordinary colors with black spots on a white background, while "Zodiac Tabloid" mainly uses a variety of bright colors. Yang Ding calculated that if it is split like this, the four-page newspaper can only

It became a two-player version, and the content was instantly reduced by half.

"Yang Ding, how much do we want to sell this newspaper?"

Yang Ding thought for a while and said: "It's still a penny. After a while, when we make money, we will recruit some gentlemen with good reading and literary talents. Then we will make up the two newspapers into four editions. In short, the newspapers

The number can continue to increase, but the price cannot be changed!"
