Beijing City, Drum Tower area.

Due to the large number of yamen in the south of the city, the north of the city is more lively. There are all kinds of goods, a variety of delicacies, and newspaper sellers.

"Stop!"

A crisp shout suddenly rang out, shocking the lively atmosphere here. Those who were wandering the street avoided it, only to see a young man with athletic movements running by, and behind him a girl in a fast suit shouting for a thief.

For this scene, many people have long been surprised.

No matter how conscientious the catcher is, the edges and corners are worn off by reality, and some bullying phenomena will eventually turn a blind eye, only Fu Cheng's sister Tiger Niu will be so like ever.

According to incomplete statistics, in the area of the Drum Tower alone, there are no less than 20 ruffians or pickpockets who were arrested by Hu Niu and put them in the government prison, and Hu Niu resolutely became the protector of the Drum Tower.

Watching him catch the thief at the moment, whether it was out of the righteous support of Hu Niu, or for fear of hindering the eldest lady of the official family and causing trouble, the people on the street avoided it one after another.

The young man being chased was in his twenties, short and thin, but sturdy. It was like a living wind, running fast, and in the blink of an eye, it passed by some people who were ready to assist the government.

It's just that he doesn't seem to be familiar with the terrain of Beijing, and his original plan was to escape with the help of lanes, but he turned into a laneway from a lively street, but ran headlong into a dead end.

Hu Niu and the others were also in hot pursuit, and before the young man could withdraw from the dead end, Hu Niu and Zhang Hu and others had already blocked the mouth of the alley, forming a trend of catching turtles in the urn.

"Run! Why don't you run away? ”

Ma Chao panted and held his knees, looking angry.

"You're so hearty...... If you have a weak heart, you must be a bad guy! ”

The tiger girl ran all the way, and she was also very tired, swallowing and spitting with a serious accusation on her face.

In essence, this thing is not too much, she has just patrolled the streets with the catcher. Seeing that the young man was suspicious, she shouted to stop him, but she never thought that the young man would run away with a weak heart, so she led someone to arrest this suspicious man.

The two catchers came over to arrest someone, but when they saw that the young man suddenly became troubled, they took advantage of the fat catcher to show no mercy, pushed him to another thin catcher, and then took the opportunity to flee to the mouth of the alley.

This young man was dressed ordinarily, and there was not much difference between him and the ordinary firewood seller, but his body did appear to be muscular, and the whole person suddenly exploded, like a leopard.

Ah!

Just as he was about to knock out Ma Chao and leave, the tiger girl who was ignored by him suddenly became angry, and a sweeping foot hit the young man's lower plate with precision, and the young man fell to the ground fiercely.

The tiger girl was no longer an ordinary little girl, and after throwing this person to the ground, she quickly pulled out a bronze sword from her waist and pointed it at the young man who was still lying on the ground.

The two catchers had already reacted, and when they saw the young man who had fallen to the ground, they immediately jumped up and subdued him. The fat catcher who had just been pushed down punched him fiercely.

The young man was punched and asked angrily, "Why are you arresting me?" ”

"Where is all this nonsense!" Ma Chao also obeyed Yu Huniu's orders, and replied angrily at this time.

The well-informed thin catcher frowned quickly, and said seriously to Ma Chao: "Ma catcher, this person's accent is not quite right!" ”

"Huh?" Ma Chao also reacted, and looked the young man up and down, and found that there were indeed some problems, so he immediately asked: "Where are you from!" ”

"I ...... I'm from Xuanfu! The young man replied.

"Xuanfu? I see you're a spy from the north, take it away! Ma Chao looked at him coldly, watched his eyes drift, and immediately said the doubts in his heart.

"Let me go! Let me go! I'm not a spy, I'm really from Xuanfu! The young man was taken to the Shuncheon Mansion by two arrestees, and immediately shouted loudly.

The movement here has attracted the attention of many people, but I saw a middle-aged man watching this scene, especially seeing the young man being escorted out, he hurriedly lowered his head and left in a hurry.

Spies have existed since ancient times, and there are many names for them, such as intermittent, intermediate, spy, spy, state spy, gangster, fine work, game detective, spy, spy, Hou Zheng, Bang Biao, Neiying, etc.

The Ming Dynasty was currently in hostility with the Mongols, so both sides sent spies to lurk on each other's territory, engaging in various espionage activities and even assassinations.

Shuncheon Mansion, Government Administration.

Lin Haoran, who was wearing a crimson official uniform, was sitting in front of the desk, concentrating on daily affairs.

These days, although he has been fighting with Huang Zhongda, he has never been sloppy with the work on his hands, but has done a good job in this Shuntian Mansion conscientiously.

Now the focus of his work is on the security of Beijing and the "Shuntian Daily", the former does not have major problems, and the latter can be described as thriving.

The revenue source of "Suncheon Daily" is different from that of "Talking about the Past and the Present", which is purely sales revenue, while "Suncheon Daily" is two major parts: sales revenue and advertising revenue.

This is actually forced to be helpless, "Talking about the Past and the Present" takes the high-end route, and its articles come from those scholars who are big or full of wealth in the Hanlin Academy, not to mention that they only sell for only two dollars, even if each book sells two taels, many people rush to it.

On the other hand, the editorial department of "Suncheon Daily" is destined to take the popular route. Previously, the "Shuncheon Daily" was too expensive for ten cents a piece, and if it didn't make some articles in the advertising area, the newspaper would not be able to run at all, let alone make money to recruit people.

Fortunately, he also took the step of advertising revenue, which is the right move.

In addition to the relationship between the joint business group, it has also attracted large green buildings in the capital, and the income is very considerable.

In addition, taking advantage of the opportunity of this meeting, the "Shuncheon Daily" also launched 121 tofu blocks for "celebrating the high school of a certain scholar", but the supply exceeded demand, and dozens of people were willing to pay money to "celebrate".

Now that Suncheon Daily has sold thousands of copies and has a huge advertising revenue, these newspapers have undoubtedly been successful.

"Recruit according to the plan, recruit more competent people, and don't want those who steal and cheat!"

After Lin Haoran discussed some details with Sun Jixiang, he immediately handed over this matter to him.

At present, with the financial source of "Suncheon Daily", the expansion of the fast class official is naturally on the agenda. This can not only increase the strength of the government office, but also more effectively maintain the order of the city of Beijing, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

It was at this moment that a figure hurried in from outside.
