Chapter 1023 Newspaper Falling from the Sky
Under such strict surveillance, the dissemination channels of Justice Daily seemed to have been completely blocked, but Mitsui Shou did not feel the slightest bit of anxiety. He had already made careful arrangements and was ready to continue to spread Justice Daily in a way that was beyond everyone's expectations.
As night fell, the streets of Kyoto gradually became quiet, with only a few lanterns swaying in the night wind. At this time, a luxuriously decorated carriage quietly drove into the south gate of Kyoto. Inside the carriage, Mitsui Shou was sitting on a soft couch with a mysterious smile on his face.
Beside him, a man in nightgown was carefully opening an exquisite wooden box, which contained the latest issue of Justice Daily.
"Are you ready?" Mitsui Shou asked in a low voice, his voice revealing an unquestionable firmness.
"Yes, we have found a safe way to spread the Justice Daily." The man in the night clothes answered respectfully. The way he was talking about was a secret underground waterway in Kyoto. This waterway has a long history and is intricate. It not only connects every corner of Kyoto, but also cleverly avoids the surveillance of the Public Security Bureau.
As the carriage slowly moved forward, Mitsui Shou and the nightclothes man came to a remote corner. They quickly got off the carriage and walked along a narrow alley to a well covered by dense vegetation. The nightclothes man took out a delicate key from his arms and opened the well cover skillfully. A damp smell came towards them, which was the unique smell of the underground sewer.
Mitsui Shou nodded, signaling the night-wear man to start. The night-wear man quickly divided the Justice Daily in the wooden box into several copies, then wrapped them in oil paper and carefully threw them into the well. These oil paper packages quickly sank in the water, were carried away by an undercurrent, and spread along the underground waterway in all directions of Kyoto.
In order to ensure that the Justice Daily could be spread smoothly, Mitsui Shou also specially arranged a group of death squads who were proficient in water. They wore diving suits, moved along the underground sewers, and dropped the oil paper packages one by one into densely populated areas.
When the first rays of sunlight shone on the streets of Kyoto again, many people were surprised to find that a brand new copy of the Justice Daily lay quietly at their doorsteps, on market stalls, and even in the corners of teahouses. This newspaper was like a stone thrown into a lake, which once again stirred up a great uproar in Kyoto.
Although the public security officials acted quickly, they immediately confiscated a large number of scattered Justice Daily and arrested many people suspected of spreading the newspaper, but the content of Justice Daily spread like wildfire through word of mouth throughout Kyoto. People talked about it privately, and were shocked and angry about the truth revealed in the newspaper.
In the secret base of Qianyu Club, the members gathered secretly again. Under the dim light, their faces were full of tension and expectation. At this time, Xiao Cong walked into the room with an oil-paper bag in his hand, with a mysterious look, and his eyes flashed with pride and cunning.
"Everyone, guess what I have in my hand?" Xiao Cong deliberately kept everyone in suspense, and his voice sounded particularly loud in the quiet room.
"Don't keep us in suspense, Xiaocong, take it out and let us see it!" someone shouted impatiently.
Xiao Cong smiled and slowly opened the oil paper package, revealing the brand new Justice Daily. "This is the latest issue of Justice Daily. I bought it from someone else at a high price. If you want to read the content, it only costs 30 yen." There was a hint of provocation and pride in his words.
"Thirty yen? Xiao Cong, you're really going too far! You're blinded by money!" Someone grumbled in dissatisfaction.
"Humph, do you think it's easy for me? I took a huge risk to get these newspapers. Thirty yen is already a bargain." Xiao Cong retorted confidently.
Although some people were dissatisfied with Xiao Cong's price, curiosity still drove them to take out their wallets. Soon, the thirty copies of Justice Daily in Xiao Cong's hand were snapped up.
The members couldn't wait to open the newspaper and read the contents carefully. When they saw the latest headline, they couldn't help but gasp - their hero Fujita Ying will be secretly executed by Pu Yu tonight!
"This...is this true?" someone murmured in disbelief.
"How could this happen? Fujita Toru is our hero, how could he be executed?" Another man slammed the table angrily.
"We must find a way to save him!" A voice rang out in the crowd. It was the leader of Qianyu Company. He clenched his fists and looked excited.
"Yes, we can't just sit there and do nothing. We have to take action and rescue Fujita Ying!" Others also echoed.
The room was suddenly filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere.
The members began to discuss heatedly, and they offered suggestions one after another, trying to find a way to rescue Fujita Ying while staying out of the matter.
In Pu Yu's headquarters building, Hong Yuzhang, the top officer who usually remained calm and arrogant, was now furious, especially the obvious slap mark on his left cheek, which made him look particularly embarrassed.
He strode into the office, as if every step was stepping on a powder keg that could ignite a storm at any time.
Asano Gawa, as Hong Yu Zhang's right-hand man, was standing at his desk with his head down, his hands clenched into fists, nervously waiting for the coming storm. He knew very well that this incident would make Hong Yu Zhang lose face in front of the Prime Minister, and the consequences would be disastrous.
"Asanogawa!" Hong Yuzhang's voice was like thunder, shaking the entire office. "How did you do it? I told you again and again to make sure that the Justice Daily disappeared completely, but what happened? It actually spread out again! How can I save face in front of the Prime Minister?!"
As Hong Yuzhang shouted angrily, he suddenly pulled out the belt from his waist.
Asanogawa's body trembled involuntarily, but he still forced himself not to retreat.
"I... I have tried my best, sir." Asanogawa's voice was trembling, but more of it was unwillingness. "We arrested many people and confiscated a large number of newspapers, but there are always some fish that slip through the net..."
"A fish that slipped through the net? Is that your explanation?" Hong Yuzhang was furious. The belt rained down on Asanogawa's body. Every time he was whipped, Asanogawa groaned in pain and his muscles spasmed. "Do you know how much punishment I have received for this incident? The Prime Minister is disappointed in me, and my position is in jeopardy! All of this is caused by you!"
Asanogawa clenched his teeth, enduring the pain and humiliation. He knew that any excuses at this moment would be futile.
He could only endure it all silently and wait for Hong Yuzhang's anger to subside.
"Remember, Asanogawa." Hong Yuzhang finally stopped what he was doing, but his eyes were still as fierce as a wolf. "This is not only a punishment for you, but also a warning to you. If you can't find the mastermind within two days, you will get out of here!"
Asanogawa lowered his head, sweat dripping down his cheeks, and he replied in a trembling voice: "Yes, sir. I understand."
The storm finally subsided, but the office was still filled with a heavy atmosphere of depression. Hong Yuzhang sat at his desk, his hands supporting his forehead, lost in thought. He knew that this incident had put him in an unprecedented crisis, and he had to find a way to save the situation, otherwise, his future would be bleak.
