I rely on talking to brush the copy

Chapter 18 Writing in the Republic of China (17)

Tang Nan felt his eyelids twitching when he woke up this morning. He counted with his fingers and found that his left eye was twitching and his right eye was twitching. This meant...

Zhang Defu said carefully: "Master, Mr. Chen Si is here."

Tang Nan felt happy and said quickly: "Invite people to the living room quickly, show them tea, and tell them I will be there shortly."

Zhang Defu did not move, but looked at him awkwardly, and whispered: "Mr. Chen Si has left. Before leaving, he asked me to deliver a letter to you."

letter?

Tang Nan took the letter and opened it doubtfully. After reading a few lines, his expression changed drastically. This was clearly a letter of breaking off friendship. Chen Si said in the letter that they had different paths and would not work together. From now on, they would go their separate ways and have nothing to do with each other, leaving Tang Nan to take care of herself.

Tang Nan asked Zhang Defu with a dark face, "What did Mr. Chen Si say before he left?"

Zhang Defu shook his head and whispered: "Mr. Chen Si handed the letter directly to Xiao Xiao and left without saying a word." Tang Nan finally couldn't hold back and slapped him hard, and furiously cursed: " If he wants to leave, won't you stop him? Trash! I will beat you to death sooner or later!"

Chen Si was the one he picked up after all the hard work, and behind him stood a big boss of the Qing Gang named "Tong". That big boss had great hands and eyes in Lu City. As long as he caught up with him, wealth and prosperity would be just around the corner! But before he could realize his dream, the ladder was removed first. How could he not be shocked and angry?

Zhang Defu covered his face and his shoulders trembled, not daring to say anything or hide.

After venting his anger by punching and kicking Zhang Defu, Tang Nan reluctantly regained his composure and began to think about what went wrong.

Then he thought of Liao Fang. A week ago, he sent Liao Fang out to inspect the location, intending to teach the bitch brother and sister a lesson to let them know who they could offend and who they couldn't offend. That Liao Fang was also useless. He was bitten by someone's dog and even tried to persuade him to stop, saying that the owner of the house was going to call the police to arrest him. Tang Nan was almost amused by these words. Such words can only scare a villain like Liao Fang. His father has a close relationship with the police chief. Who dares to lock him up in Peiping?

He sent Liao Fang away impatiently, preparing to find someone else to teach the two brothers and sisters a lesson. It's just that the brother and sister have been hiding behind closed doors in the past few days, and he has never found a chance. Those people originally did things for him because of Chen Si. How could he tell them to do things once Chen Si left? Did Liao Fang say something to Chen Si?

He frowned and realized he found the problem. He snorted and went straight out of the house, ready to trouble Liao Fang.

Sitting on the rickshaw, he was blown by the cold wind and his mind finally became clearer. He happened to see an acquaintance of his appear at the street corner and talk to someone. When Tang Nan looked over, he happened to catch the eyes of the two people looking over. , he quickly asked the driver to stop, then smiled and waved to them: "Brother Lang Ming, long time no see."

Brother Lang Ming was startled and smiled unnaturally. He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he looked at him with a strange look. Just as Tang Nan was about to exchange a few words with him, Brother Lang Ming pulled his friend and said goodbye to him quickly. Looking at his back, he looked like he was running away.

Tang Nan was confused and didn't know what was going on. It's just that now is not the time to pursue these matters. The top priority is to find Liao Fang as soon as possible and restore the relationship with Mr. Chen Si. He ordered the driver to continue running towards the dock.

Along the way, Tang Nan was on pins and needles. I wonder if he is too sensitive, but he always feels like he is being pointed at by others on the road, and the acquaintances he meets look at him in strange ways. When the rickshaw finally stopped at the pier, he felt as if he had been granted amnesty and slipped out as if he were running away. He found Liao Fang without much effort, but the next development of the plot was beyond his expectation.

When Liao Fangbai saw him, he gave him a hard bite and cursed: "Get out of here, you dirty villain, don't dirty my eyes!"

Tang Nan was shocked at first and then angry, "How dare you speak to me like this? Do you know who I am?!"

Liao Fang smiled strangely and said, "How come I don't know who you are? You are the eldest young master of the Tang family, Tang Nan."

Tang Nan nodded arrogantly, and was about to ask why you were talking to me like this since you already knew everything, when he saw that the onlookers around him showed disdain after listening to Liao Fang's words, and began to point at him and start talking loudly. .

"Is this Tang Nan? What a beast with a human face and a beast heart!"

"With a son like this, I guess the Tang family won't be much clean!"

"I heard that he likes men, and he has slept with all the servants around him!"

"Why did I hear that he likes young girls, even newborn girls?"

"That's not all. I heard that he sells our Chinese girls to Japan for the Japanese people to play with and enjoy!"

"Don't you know? Tang Nan is a Japanese spy and came to China to cause destruction!"

"I heard that even the Qing Gang was instigated by him to rebel, and now the entire Qing Gang listens to his words..."

"Hey! You dare to say this? Are you trying to kill yourself?!"

Liao Fang, who originally had a bad look on his face, became even more gloomy when he heard the comments from the people around him. He cleared his throat and said to the people around him, "You fellow villagers have misunderstood. Our Qing Gang has nothing to do with these villains." We in the Youth Gang are not willing to associate with such villains." He raised his chin and smiled scornfully at the confused Tang Nan: "Master Tang, you are not welcome here, please come back!"

Tang Nan felt like he was dreaming. Otherwise, how could he become a street rat, with everyone scolding him? What are they talking about?

Playing with girls? Human trafficking to Japan? Japanese spy? Instigating rebellion against the Youth Gang? How come all these unheard-of things are related to him?

"You are slanderous!" He pointed at them angrily: "Just wait for me! I will remember you! We, the Tang family, are not done with you anymore!"

"It's over. Young Master Tang is going to sell us to the Japanese." Someone in the crowd said suddenly, and then there was a burst of laughter.

"You, you..."

"Master! I want you to go back!" Someone grabbed his arm, and before he could struggle a few times, several people swarmed up and tied him up and threw him into the car.

"Stop! Do you know who my father is?! My father is Tang Shude! My father knows the Commissioner of Police! If you dare to touch me, I will ask the Commissioner to arrest you all!"

The car drove away, leaving behind only these few curses. Not long after, these words spread through the market at a speed that was hard to catch up with, and became a new topic of conversation in the mouths of countless idle people.

Not to mention how furious the police commissioner was when he heard these words, Tang Nan was severely beaten by his father as soon as he was brought home.

"You have ruined the centuries-old reputation of our Tang family! How could I, Tang Shude, give birth to a beast like you!" His father's eyes were red, and he raised his stick and hit him hard. "You are so unfaithful and unfilial, and you have no conscience. Why?" Still alive!"

"Dad?" Tang Nan looked at his furious father in shock, "What are you talking about? I didn't do anything!"

"Shut up!" Tang Shude shouted: "Tie up this evil beast and don't let him go out again! I will treat him as my son!"

"And you! Zhang Defu, it was you who led the young master into trouble! Drag him down and beat him!"

Zhang Defu looked at the five thugs approaching him in panic, and shook his head repeatedly: "I'm not, I didn't, I didn't do anything, please tell me!"

Tang Shude said impatiently: "Stop his mouth." The Tang family raised him and sent him to school. It's just that he was ungrateful. He actually seduced Nan'er into going astray. It would be better to beat such a servant to death. It's over!

When Le Jing learned the news about Tang Nan from Yang Jinglun again, it was already three weeks later. The increasingly fierce legend that dominated the hustle and bustle of the market finally came to an end with Tang Nan's disappearance. Some people say that Tang Nan is dead, some say that he was imprisoned by Father Tang, and some say that he was sent out of the country by Father Tang. In short, Tang Nan will never be found in China again.

As for Zhang Defu, he disappeared from the school and was never seen again.

The Tang family, which used to be quite prosperous, was also severely damaged by the notoriety of the eldest son Tang Nan. The police chief was probably trying to clear up the relationship. The police had been coming in and out of the Tang family these days, and they didn't know how many crimes they had found out about the Tang family.

"Then the Tang family usually does a lot of injustice. Now, in order to clear up the relationship, the police chief will only count the crimes and punish them and put them in jail. As for when they will be released, it is hard to say." Yang Jinglun He was still there sighing: "This can be regarded as the cycle of retribution caused by heaven's laws. The Tang family has brought it upon itself!"

Is it a natural cycle?

Le Jing was arranging the manuscripts on his desk, lowering his eyes and smiling.

He doesn't believe in heaven, he only believes in himself.

Gustave Le Pen wrote in "The Crowd": "Once an individual becomes a member of a group, he no longer bears responsibility for his actions. At this time, everyone will reveal his unconstrained side. What the group pursues and believes in is never truth and reason, but blind obedience, cruelty, paranoia and fanaticism, and only knows simple and extreme emotions.”

As the saying goes - while the truth is still putting on its shoes, lies are already running through the streets.

At the beginning, Lejing just bribed a few tabloid reporters to publish some specious articles in the tabloids. These "insiders broke the news" in vague terms and did not give specific names. There is enough room for the public’s imagination.

Then he asked Zhou Da to bribe a few second- and third-class prostitutes. They didn't need to say anything. All they had to do was casually tell the client that there was a young master of the Tang family who had a very good relationship with his personal servant. They were inseparable and slept together.

Besides, the young master of the Tang family prefers girls. It is said that he learned this from the Japanese when he was studying abroad, so he only played young prostitutes in brothels.

Besides, the Tang family is powerful. The young master of the Tang family has many tricks. I heard that little girls often die in his bed, and the police don't care.

Immediately afterwards, some idle men were asked to go to the tavern, and after drinking, they told their drinking buddies: "Although the young master of the Tang family looks so polite, he is actually a member of the Youth Gang."

In the end, LeJing just had to wait.

The public's desire for voyeurism and curiosity about the private lives of rich people will automatically complete everything, and will further add and expand on the basic clues given by Le Jing, and then the snowball of rumors will get bigger and bigger, and it will become more and more popular. The more realistic. The new rumors that finally formed shocked even Le Jing.

This is also the standard process for producing brainwashing kits for celebrities in later generations.

In the Internet era, media public relations have a 72-hour rule, that is, if a rumor is not clarified within 72 hours, it will not be clarified in the future.

The underdevelopment of information in the Republic of China was a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it slowed down the spread of rumors, and on the other hand, it also hindered the clarification of rumors.

Judging from the power of this rumor, it is estimated that this rumor will never be clarified in this life, and Tang Nan may really be infamy for thousands of years. Because the rumor will not disappear all at once, it will keep recurring until the public loses interest in it, and it will lose its vitality.

However, the rumors at that time have become the "truth" and "history" recognized by people.

When Chen Sheng and Wu Guang started the uprising, it was said that the fox shouted "The Great Chu will rise, Chen Sheng will be the king". Wasn't it also using rumors? Throughout human history, rumors and truth are twins, you have me, and I have you.

This history is just a little girl who can be dressed up by anyone.

Le Jing put the pen into the pen holder, smiled softly, and completely threw Tang Nan into the dust of history.

He has more important things to do now.

He is going to submit an article to another newspaper under a new pen name. The theme of the new article, he plans to set it as a time-travel article that will be popular in the future.

The story of a time traveler who travels to an imaginary ancient time and revolts to establish a new dynasty.

He will talk about the red revolution in the shell of a time-travel article.

A red ghost will wander on the Chinese mainland through his new work.
