Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Dare to implicate the vendors selling newspapers.

Chu Ying naturally would not tolerate him, and on the second day, the entire Shenmu City area was targeted with additional printing.

Three more editions of the newspaper were published than usual.

Not only did the front page headlines report the Fourth Prince Hua Yuanzheng's heinous act of killing a newspaper vendor.

They even started to fabricate his experiences without any shame.

All kinds of dirty water were thrown on him.

The speed at which his reputation was destroyed was even faster than Hua Yunhong's before!

"Assholes! Are they crazy?!"

At Hua Yuanzheng's house, he was looking at the newspaper with anger on his face.

What was just done yesterday was written down today.

Not only did the other party not stop after receiving the warning, but he even became more aggressive.

"Your Highness, we made a mistake yesterday."

Hu Weichao walked forward and spoke in a low voice.

"What went wrong?"

"Those people shouldn't have been killed."

"why?"

Hua Yuanzheng felt very strange about Hu Weizhao's statement.

Should their imperial court still be afraid of a small chamber of commerce?

Although Tongbao Pavilion was once very glorious, even at its most glorious time, it was just a folk organization in the eyes of the imperial court.

As long as we want to destroy them, we can do so at any time.

They were kept only because they promoted the economic development of the entire dynasty.

But now they have made a big mistake and even spread rumors and slandered themselves maliciously.

In this case, there is no need to let them continue to exist.

At this point, Hua Yuanzheng still didn't understand what was going on.

Hu Weichao on the side sighed and reminded him:

"Don't you wonder why the newspapers are still so active today, and why His Royal Highness hasn't completely eradicated them?"

"If we follow our method and kill all of their people early on, can we solve the problem? If so, why didn't His Royal Highness think of this?"

"You mean to say that simply killing them won't solve much of a problem?"

Hua Yuanzheng quickly understood.

"Yes, anyone who takes action now will become a target of public criticism. The newspaper has attracted the people of the entire kingdom, and many people are counting on it to read it. If we intervene, we will be standing against the people."

"No wonder you said that I should bow my head and ask them for help."

Hua Yuanzheng finally understood why Hua Yunhong had tolerated newspapers until now.

Logically speaking, Hua Yunhong should have been the first to take action before himself.

After all, the first person they attacked in the newspaper was Hua Yunhong.

But this guy just didn't move at all.

It seems that he is afraid of becoming the target of public criticism.

Now I didn't pay attention to this aspect and took the initiative to deal with Tongbao Pavilion.

The other party would naturally direct their firepower at him, and in the end he became another target of public criticism, sharing Hua Yunhong's firepower.

When he thought of this, Hua Yuanzheng's face turned a little ugly.

He immediately turned around and went back to his study, wrote a letter and handed it to Hu Weizhao.

"Send someone to the treasury to get some gold and silver, and go find the people at Tongbao Pavilion to see if they can help spread this king's reputation."

Now he is doing this to show his weakness.

After all, he was the one who made the mistake first, so it was normal for him to bow to Tongbao Pavilion first.

Hu Weichao nodded immediately upon seeing this, and then prepared to contact the local Tongbao Pavilion with the gold, silver and treasures.

On the other side, Hua Yunhong had already received Fang Yuanjian's response.

Du Zi came to Hua Yunhong early in the morning with the other party's letter.

"Your Highness, the matter is completed."

"It was done so easily, did he agree?"

Hua Yunhong, who was planning the next marching route, suddenly widened his eyes when he heard the news.

The grudge between him and Fang Yuanjian is extremely deep.

Although he shamelessly went to find the other party this time, Hua Yunhong was also prepared to be rejected.

Many things are not what he wants them to be.

He had already prepared himself for this in advance.

But the other party's reply came so quickly that he was a little surprised.

Du Zi thought for a moment and whispered to him:

"Although they agreed, they didn't intend to help you restore your reputation. Instead, they wanted to report the Fourth Prince's affairs to the newspapers."

"Oh?"

This news left Hua Yunhong confused.

"See for yourself."

Du Zi handed the newspaper he bought to Hua Yunhong.

Hua Yunhong carefully scanned the titles above and saw those articles that criticized him.

He jumped over subconsciously.

Soon, his attention was focused on several articles criticizing Hua Yuanzheng.

Here, he actually saw Hua Yuanzheng personally arranged for people to kill many newspaper vendors.

"This guy's brain is rusty. It seems that after staying at the border for so many years, he no longer knows how to handle relations with the imperial court."

"They even dared to kill those newspaper vendors. Didn't they think the trouble they caused was big enough? No wonder they helped."

When Hua Yunhong saw the news, he understood.

In fact, it was not that Fang Yuanjian was willing to help them, but it just happened to happen.

Hua Yuanzheng's move this time is a complete provocation.

He actually killed many small newspaper vendors in Shenmu City.

Such behavior is tantamount to declaring war on the entire newspaper industry.

When they are at the peak of their power, it is natural to give a very severe counterattack.

Thinking of Hua Yuanzheng's wonderful expression when he saw the newspaper, Hua Yunhong suddenly felt that he also had teammates.

He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

There is a saying that goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Although Fang Yuanjian and Chu Ying are still using newspapers to constantly discredit themselves.

But seeing that another opponent of his was also on the honor roll.

He suddenly felt much better.

Seeing Hua Yunhong's mood improve, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Before coming here today, Du Zi didn't know how to describe the current situation to Hua Yunhong.

Fortunately, Hua Yunhong is quite receptive.

He stood up, wrote a letter, and handed it to Du Zi.

"Take this letter and go to our barracks' warehouse to find some gold, silver, and treasures. Oh, and find some machinery to send to Fang Yuanjian, saying this is a return gift."

Although Fang Yuanjian did not really stand on his side.

But as long as he had no idea about the China Expedition, he smeared everyone equally.

Even if it helped Hua Yunhong a lot.

They must do their best to save face.

Just like these gold, silver and treasures, they are his expression of gratitude.

After seeing this scene, Du Zi also understood what his prince meant.

So he nodded and quickly sent the things out.
