Chapter 364: Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!
Li Yuhao, in particular, seemed extremely violent. After all, he is now the patriarch of the Li family. How could such a scandal be spread to the outside world?
Moreover, when he thought about giving his virginity to a man, he felt like a lump in his throat and a thorn in his back!
Li Yuhao immediately called over his most trusted retainers and shouted at them, "Quick, spread the word immediately! No one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened last night!"
"Otherwise, we will become enemies with the entire Li family!"
Although Li Yuhao said this, the retainers kneeling in front of him all looked embarrassed.
Especially the butler, his face was almost wrinkled like the skin of a pumpkin.
He seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Li Yuhao saw him like this and immediately roared, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating?!"
But what the butler said next almost made Li Yuhao faint!
The housekeeper told Li Yuhao: "Master, I'm afraid this matter can no longer be concealed."
Li Yuhao snorted coldly: "How can I not hide it?"
"Even if all the young men and women knew about this last night, I wouldn't dare to tell them directly!"
"You just need to send someone to knock on their door and tell them how serious this matter is. Naturally, they won't dare to take any action, and naturally, they won't dare to reveal a single word!"
The butler had a bitter face at this time. He said, "Master, but now this matter has become known to everyone. The whole city knows it!"
"What!?"
Li Yuhao was so shocked that he jumped up from his chair!
He roared angrily, "Who was it? Who told that?!"
"Tell me now, tell me now! I'll send someone to kill his entire family right now!"
Li Yuhao was really shocked!
If such an incident were to cause an uproar in the city, his position as the clan leader would be in jeopardy!
The housekeeper said with a bitter face, "Master, early this morning, some children appeared on the street, holding some papers in their hands, saying they were newspapers."
"They were shouting all over the streets. These were large, square newspapers containing messages from the emperor. They were called news."
"Among these news items, the largest section was devoted to what happened last night between the Master and the Young Master in Tianyi Pavilion."
"Not only did they write down exactly what happened, they even had pictures!"
Having said this, the butler took out a newspaper from his arms.
The paper of this so-called newspaper was not as big as that of later generations, but was relatively smaller.
It is thicker than ordinary rice paper and its color is off-white.
This newspaper currently has only two pages. The first page tells about the empress's latest policies.
In particular, the Ministry of Industry was recruiting experienced papermaking craftsmen from across the country.
Not only are they hired with high salaries, but their families are also treated preferentially. They can even settle down in Kunwu City, and they enjoy various benefits such as children's education!
On the other hand, that was the explosive information from Li Yuhao and Cui Zezhao last night!
Just as the housekeeper said, there are actually pictures in this newspaper!
Even though the two men in this picture don’t look very similar, the names of both Li Yuhao and Cui Zezhao are written on it!
The content can be said to be portrayed vividly!
The most important thing is that there is an advertisement at the bottom of the newspaper, an advertisement for Dragon and Tiger Pill!
It read: "New version of Dragon and Tiger Pill! Improved formula! One hundred samples available now, first come, first served! South City Han Family Pharmacy!"
"Asshole, asshole, asshole, ahhhhh!"
Li Yuhao was furious and roared, tearing the paper into pieces!
He stared at the butler intently and asked, "Is this thing already known to everyone?"
The housekeeper lowered his head and nodded like a sparrow. "They've been sold in every street and alley. Although some people can't read, there are curious people who tell people what's written on them on the street."
"He can't hide this matter at all!"
Li Yuhao roared in anger after hearing this: "Han Zhuo! It must be you, it must be you! Puff—"
Li Yuhao was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood!
At this moment, his eyes widened, and his eyes were filled with extremely strong murderous intent!
He roared at the housekeeper, "Call all the clan elders serving in the imperial court immediately and have them sign a petition against Han Zhuo! I'm going to make Han Zhuo pay this time!"
At the same time, in the harem, the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
Tushan Weihong was holding the newspaper that Tushan Shiruo had bought from the street.
She had no interest in the gossip on the back of the newspaper.
However, I was curious about the empress's policies described on the front and the few lines of advertising at the bottom of the back.
After all, she is the Empress Dowager, with a broad vision and rich knowledge.
She was lying lazily on her side, her bright red lips slowly parting as she asked Tushan Shiruo, "How much is this newspaper?"
Tu Shanweihong's appraisal of the price of newspapers is still somewhat biased.
After all, in her opinion, such a large amount of text, accompanied by pictures, would be fine if it were just a few pictures circulated within the court.
However, Han Zhuo sold them in large quantities on the street, which shows that many writers were writing and sketching them.
In this case, the price must be high.
However, Tushan Shiruo did tell Tushan Weihong: "Report to the Empress Dowager, this newspaper only costs 10 coins."
Tushan Weihong's fair hand, holding the newspaper, couldn't help but tremble slightly.
She thought she had misheard and couldn't help but ask again: "How much did you say just now?"
Tushan Shiruo lowered her brows slightly and said, "To answer the Empress Dowager, I didn't believe at first that this newspaper was sold at such a low price."
"But the newspaper vendor on the street did tell me that it was 10 cents a piece."
"And every newspaper seller can get a penny from the Ministry of Works after selling a newspaper. The more work, the more money!"
"So these newspaper sellers don't sell newspapers in fixed areas, but they move around, so the newspaper is now everywhere in the streets."
After a brief moment of surprise, Tushan Weihong's beautiful face showed a faint smile.
She said, “Why is it so cheap?”
"Have you asked Han Zhuo?"
"Isn't Han Zhuo trying to sell it at a loss?"
"If it's just to deal with Li Yuhao and the other two, there's no need to do this."
Tushan Shiruo said slowly, "Your Majesty, I had the same doubts at first, and later I specifically asked Han Zhuo."
"According to Han Zhuo, this newspaper wasn't written or sketched by scholars, but was carved by craftsmen and then printed on plates."
After hearing this, Tushan Weihong's eyebrows slightly frowned.
She said, "Engraving and printing? I've heard a little about that."
"But you just said that Han Zhuo wants to sell this newspaper on the street every other day, but can the craftsman carve it?"
"Furthermore, these carved templates have to be discarded after being used once. Isn't this a huge waste?"
Tushan Weihong's words were filled with resentment, and he was obviously unhappy with Han Zhuo's extravagance.
However, Tushan Shiruo's subsequent answer once again refreshed Tushan Weihong's understanding of Han Zhuo!
