crush the rich

The person who spoke was immediately stopped by his colleagues.The colleague lowered his voice and shouted: "You are crazy! So the Secret Service is trying to cause trouble for the entire publishing house!?"

The person who spoke paused for a moment, then lowered his voice, feeling a little scared in his heart, and said, "Sorry."

The deterrence of the Secret Service can be seen.

After Yin Lian entered, everyone fell silent for the time being.But when Yin Lian asked, they didn't hide anything, and told her about the current situation.

It turned out that several newspapers this morning reported the actions of the Secret Service last night, and one of them directly reported what happened in Jingzhai yesterday, down to the details.In the report, the reporter strongly condemned the behavior of the Secret Service, and described in detail how they ignored the life and death of the elderly, even children.

Their descriptions are particularly detailed, and they are full of distress for the victims and emotions of worrying about the country and the people.If Yin Lian hadn't personally experienced the scene and played that cold-blooded and ruthless role, I'm afraid I would have believed their nonsense.

But now that she is there, it is inevitable to start to doubt its source and purpose for such a detailed report.

While she was thinking, she heard someone ask: "Miss Zeng, what do you think?"

Yin Lian raised her head and said, "Sorry, I was just thinking about the possible impact of this news, and I was a little distracted. What are you talking about?"

After hearing this, the other party asked again, "I'm asking, should we publish some articles on this matter and condemn the Secret Service's actions?"

Yin Lian: "...We are women's periodicals and literary publications, not political publications."

The young editor said: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. Even women's literature publications should not show indifference to such issues related to national affairs..."

Yin Lian thought for a while and said, "I understand your thoughts. But, what should we write in the article? Do you condemn the Secret Service for not caring for the elderly?"

The editor choked suddenly.

Yin Lian said: "For a good publication, what it reports must have its basis. Otherwise, we are just making up and writing fiction. Then tell me now, do you have any understanding of what happened last night?"

No one in the office spoke for a while.

Yin Lian added: "If you want to report on this, you have to inquire and understand the reality. Has anyone volunteered to interview the parties involved in this matter or related personnel?"

Still no one spoke.

Yin Lian waited for a while, and then said: "We are a novel newspaper now, so we must have the principles of a novel newspaper. Without interviews and investigations, it is not appropriate to make nonsense about current events."

A editor retorted: "But even if they are not front-line reporters, can't ordinary literati express their opinions on current affairs?"

Yin Lian then replied: "Insights and insights can only be interpreted after you have seen and heard. Knowledge is not just listening to it, but a kind of feeling that comes from your heart after you have truly understood it. What do you personally think of Lord Jing Laijing Do you understand? His life story, the reason for the conflict in this incident, or what do you know about his old lady, and what feelings do you have for his child?"

Everyone was still unconvinced at first, but when they heard Yin Lian's question, she led the rhythm, racked their brains and began to think about Jing Lai.

But even in this era, Jing Lai's reputation is not very good.Many people only know that Mr. Jing is in charge of the military department and lives a luxurious life. In other words, he is clearly suspected of corruption and bribery, but this is considered common sense in this era, after all, the entire court is like this.

Normally, if there is no report about the old lady Jing and the youngest son of the Jing family, and if they describe their pity and the cruelty of the Secret Service in extremely personal words, then this matter is ultimately an internal struggle of the court , In fact, it can't cause any disturbance.

Yin Lian said: "At the end of the day, you all think that the Secret Service's approach is too cruel. Even if it is a struggle between the courts, the elderly and children should be spared. But the law of sitting together has existed since ancient times. It was originally intended to deter prisoners and make people supervise each other. Formed. From the perspective of modern human rights thinking, it is indeed inappropriate, but what is the use of scolding a Secret Service? Hugh said that the old man and child are gone, but they are still there. You scolded the Secret Service for mercy, but next time, next time What next? What if it’s a warlord next time? The emperor?”

The editorial department was silent for a while, and someone said reluctantly: "Then why don't we do anything?"

Yin Lian paused, then said: "It's actually not suitable for our magazine to discuss such topics. Our magazine itself is a literary and entertainment magazine. I'm not saying that this kind of magazine should not worry about the country and the people, but just because Our focus is on literature and entertainment, so we can’t always worry about the country and the people. If there is a massacre, a large-scale war between warlords, or a disaster involving a whole land, we will naturally write articles to mourn, but if It’s just a certain political struggle, or a certain murder case, do we still guide readers to speak out for half-understood or even completely wrong information?”

What she said was a bit bitter, and everyone in the editorial department felt a lump in their chest after hearing it, and they wanted to refute it, but they couldn't refute it for a while.

But I heard Yin Lian continue to say: "Our readers are mainly ladies and ladies. Although I don't want to make this judgment, most of them, like me, are relatively weak compared to the society as a whole. But even if they are weak, people live There will be power in the world, the ability to speak out and the courage. Maybe one day we can use them, but I hope you will not abuse this influence, at least before using it, do detailed investigation and rational judgment."

The employees Yin Lian hired were all young and energetic students who had just left society, so they were inevitably impulsive.But they were all well-educated, and in fact they all had brains, so after thinking about her words carefully, they were finally persuaded.Lam Ka Lok even took the initiative to conduct a self-criticism, saying that he did not think carefully about this matter, was too impulsive, and did not understand the representative meaning of the time magazine itself enough.

Yin Lian didn't blame him.In fact, during this conversation, she played some tricks, just to prevent the newspaper from being involved in this seemingly complicated public opinion turmoil.However, it is not appropriate for a group of young people to directly rely on coercion, so after giving a stick, she still gave a little sweetness.

Yin Lian softened her voice and said, "However, although I don't agree with getting involved in the case of Jing Lai's house raid, I appreciate your compassion for the elderly and children. If we can find one or two people who are suitable for us From the perspective of journals, it’s not like you can’t publish your knowledge.”

Chi Hui thought about it, and asked: "The so-called angle that suits us means avoiding the possibility of confrontation with the Secret Service, starting with the discussion of the inhumanity of 'incrimination', and mobilizing public opinion to oppose such a thing as sitting together. guilty?"

Yin Lian said: "Chi Hui, you are really sharp... That's right, that's probably what I mean."

Chi Hui said: "This is very difficult... even more difficult than forcing the Secret Service to release the women and children of the Jing family..."

Yin Lian said: "But the meanings of the two things are completely different. Letting go of the Jing family and offending the Secret Service will only benefit the Jing family. If you can promote the development of public opinion, although the court's laws cannot be changed in a short period of time, the court's laws will not be changed in a short period of time. Seeds can be planted in everyone’s minds. Instead of blaming the Secret Service for not treating the family members of an official who ransacked their homes well, it is better to expand our sights to all the family members of the prisoners who have been implicated, and discuss the significance of the existence of the punishment of continuous sitting.”

This undoubtedly improves the level of the article, and caring for the elderly and children is more likely to resonate with female readers.A group of editors were persuaded at that time, and immediately began to discuss the feasibility of such articles.Lin Jiale has always had a lot of contact with readers, and he also understands their mentality and concerns. At that time, he proposed several very thoughtful entry points.

Interviews in this area are relatively easy to do and arrange.The interviews proposed by Yin Lian before were all aimed at the Secret Service and criminal officials. Although everyone in the editorial department showed fearlessness, it was inevitable that they would have various concerns and struggles in many aspects if they really went to the interview—after all, the Secret Service Notoriety, they have heard much.

After leaving the Secret Service, Yin Lian became curious about Li Laixi's actions.As someone who had been directly at the scene of the crime before, she naturally knew that the old man of the Jing family simply ran out with the child in his arms and suffered a stroke.Because it was the Lantern Festival and it was a wealthy area, the lights at that time were still quite bright. Yin Lian could be sure through the robot's sight lens that the old man had no wounds at all, and even when he fell to the ground, there was a child's swaddle as a buffer. Neither really hit the head.

And the child was sent directly to the future by Yin Lian, which may lead to a slight reduction in the time elapsed ratio between the future Xia Kingdom and the Xia Kingdom in this time and space. Although the amount of a child may be very small, if it accumulates over time, it will also affect Yin Lian cause certain losses.

Under such circumstances, the Secret Service was also accused of abusing the elderly and children, and the newspaper made it up vividly, which made Yin Lian have an unusual feeling.

There are two possibilities for this. One is that the opponent or enemy of the Secret Service fabricated facts and deliberately used this to attack the Secret Service.Yin Lian analyzed it, and felt that it was not the warlords who most likely did this—for the warlords, there was no need to only attack the Secret Service. Wouldn't it be better to attack the court as a corrupt whole?So if this option is excluded, it is more likely to be someone from the prince's side, or other official parties that have conflicts with the Secret Service.

Li Laixi has a strong style of work, and Yin Lian hangs out in the circle of officials and businessmen. Although he can hear everywhere who has conflicts with the Secret Service and who doesn't like Li Laixi.But after all, these are the news of the former court, and they may not be accurate... But at this time, she has no way to break into the inner court.Even if you want to buy an official, it will be difficult to buy him enough to make the other party be completely open and honest with her.

So Yin Lian could only find a way to investigate this matter by herself.

It is easiest to start directly with the staff of the Secret Service, but Yin Lian may not be able to take the initiative to meet Li Laixi, and she will go directly to an overly sensitive and mysterious spy chief if she is out of her mind.On the contrary, in June, the Secret Service ordered five cars from her, so that the stewards of the workshop had a little contact with the logistics officials of the Secret Service, and they could inquire about it.

Yin Lian took the initiative to arrange a dinner.
