Chapter 420
Even people in remote areas, after reading it, could immediately understand when the content was from.
There would be no need to guess if it was current events.
"The characters for the masthead are written extremely well, the calligraphy is spirited and powerful. The strokes show faint white, this is the 'Flying White' style created by Cai Bojie!"
"It captures the spirit so well, one might think Cai Bojie himself was still alive."
After looking at the masthead, Xiao Qinyan praised it highly.
The most important thing on the masthead is the newspaper name.
It is usually written by famous calligraphers, and some use bold type.
Jia Hui's Great Gan Daily was written by Cai Yong.
And Bojie is Cai Yong's courtesy name!
Cai Yong's calligraphy is at a divine level, with a strong personal style.
Even after a thousand years.
Those who know the craft can still recognize it at a glance.
And such top-tier calligraphy.
Is a pleasure to behold.
Xiao Qinyan couldn't help but say to the attendant outside: "Find out later who wrote the masthead for this newspaper."
In ancient times, when encountering a top-tier calligrapher, even the emperor would be willing to seek an audience.
Therefore, this was not surprising.
And this also showed the high level of Cai Yong.
It made Xiao Qinyan want to get to know him, and perhaps recruit him for his own use.
"Yes, sir."
Subsequently.
Xiao Qinyan then satisfiedly checked the main text.
【301】 Jia Hui, who is more fantastical than a novel! Xiao Qinyan: I want to adopt him as my foster son!
The newsboy just now didn't lie.
It did indeed record the conflict between the Great Dong Dynasty and the southern border of the Great Gan Dynasty at the beginning.
But the newsboy shouted happily.
In reality, there wasn't much content.
No big news.
The Great Dong Dynasty had had small conflicts with the Great Gan Dynasty from time to time in recent years.
It was common, but there had been no major invasion.
"Hmph, grandstanding." Xiao Qinyan muttered.
But he wasn't very dissatisfied.
After all.
Just the calligraphy on the masthead.
Was worth more than five wen!
Fifty taels, five hundred taels, he would be willing to buy it for his collection!
And Xiao Qinyan also knew.
Merchants' goods need promotion and selling points for people to buy them.
For example, the classic "Huang Po selling melons".
So.
He was idle anyway.
Taking advantage of the time before arriving at the palace.
He continued to read on.
"Minister of War Song Liang is the 'Summer-Managing Envoy' of the four great envoys of the Spring and Autumn Dao, plotting rebellion, uniting with the 'Bad Well'..."
It did indeed introduce Song Liang's situation.
First, it introduced Song Liang's detailed resume, as well as his criminal process over these years.
However, it did not mention that the Spring and Autumn Dao was seeking revenge for the Crown Prince, only saying it was for his own ambition to rebel, and so on.
"The main writer of this newspaper is quite clever."
"Has some political awareness, not saying everything."
This content was much longer than the few dozen words of military news above.
It had over five hundred words, and it was all in plain language!
It wasn't like the Di Bao, which was full of classical jargon that the general public couldn't understand and required scholars to explain, which gave local landlords and powerful clans the opportunity to deceive the illiterate or those who were only literate enough to gather together but couldn't understand, misinterpreting the imperial will, turning good policies into bad ones, and giving an opportunity for imperial power not to reach the countryside.
And Xiao Qinyan didn't realize this point when he first finished reading.
He just frowned slightly because of the content.
"It didn't mention the former Crown Prince, otherwise His Majesty would be furious."
"It seems the writer hired is not simple."
"Hmm, but why is half of this telling in detail how Jia Hui is wise and martial, brave and resourceful, how he was ambushed on his wedding day, snatched the bride, how he cleverly transferred the bride, used an empty sedan chair to lure the enemy, and how he killed in all directions, capturing and killing all the assassins, heroic and invincible, and how after the wedding, he was furious for his wife, solved the case, and arrested Song Liang? It's written just like a novel!"
Subsequently, Xiao Qinyan complained.
He discovered that this article was ostensibly about Song Liang and the Spring and Autumn Dao.
But more than half of it was blowing smoke about the Wushuang Marquis, Jia Hui.
Anyone who finished reading this content.
Would be left with the impression of how bad, cunning, and treacherous Song Liang and the Spring and Autumn Dao were, and how they played with major institutions and the imperial court in the palm of their hands!
At this time, Jia Hui emerged like Judge Bao.
Playing all the thieves and assassins in the palm of his hand.
Even the dignified Minister of War and the Spring and Autumn Dao were not his match, easily wiped out by him overnight!
It made people feel through the text an image of a handsome, peerless, sword-browed, star-eyed, heroic, tall, strategic, decisive, brilliant, brave, resourceful, upright, calm, humble, polite, righteous, enthusiastic, steady, atmospheric, loyal, and unparalleled archer, deeply affectionate and protective of his wife, where he went, justice was upheld, and evil was eliminated, deeply rooted in people's hearts!
Jia Hui was like a perfect combination of Judge Bao, the Imperial Cat Zhan Zhao, the Champion Marquis Huo Qubing, the White-Robed General Chen Qingzhi, etc., in terms of wisdom, courage, martial arts, and handsomeness!
All the excellent adjectives in the world would not be an exaggeration to place on him!
Excellent to the point of being outrageous, making one yearn for him!
The feeling that "not knowing Jia Hui in life, even if called a hero, is in vain"!
The story was even more twists and turns, soul-stirring...
More exciting than any novel!
Extremely addictive!
One couldn't help but clap and praise: "What a Great Gan God of War! Not just a God of War, but a God of Wisdom!"
Who knows how many people would become Jia Hui's fanatical fans after reading it!
However, Xiao Qinyan had to admit: "This Jia Hui, indeed has some ability..."
He couldn't deny Jia Hui's excellence.
He finished reading the case process.
And was also very shocked.
This Song Liang was actually one of the four great envoys of the Spring and Autumn Dao, a rebel force hidden for many years.
The key was that for so many years.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Suspended Mirror Division, the Lianfang, the Imperial City Division, the Inner Guard, etc., all knew nothing!
The key was that after offending Jia Hui, it was really solved and broken in just one day!
Damn it!
This is more fantastical than a novel! ===== CHAPTER 421 =====
