Lu Deming was standing at the moment, his body began to tremble slightly, and his face was extremely angry. The reason is simple, Du Qi's conditions are really strict.
You must know that Datang Daily has now established reporting outlets all over the country. Even if the news from various places will be slower than that in Chang'an, in just a few days, or even in just a dozen days, there will be news from the Datang Daily in the north and south of the river.
Once Lu Deming apologizes in the newspaper, then everyone in the world will know the news.
Everyone in the world will laugh at Lu Deming.
This is what Lu Deming is unwilling to do.
After Lu Deming was silent for a long time, he came back to his senses. His face was miserable, and he looked at Du Qi and said, "King Pingxi, the impact of publishing an apology in the newspaper is really too great. I implore Lord Pingxi to give Lu a way out."
Du Qi smiled coldly, and said: "At the beginning, when you saw that I was unhappy and instilled my selfish thoughts in front of the prince, did you ever think of giving me a way out."
"You have to be clear, the person you influence is named Li Chengqian, the prince of the Tang Dynasty. Once the throne is passed on to Li Chengqian, he can decide a person's life or death with a single word."
"When Li Chengqian is arbitrary, do you think I can escape death?"
"Lu Deming, if you make a mistake, you will have to pay the price. This is your mistake, and you should bear the consequences. Of course, you can also refuse to apologize. At most, I will have someone print a special article for you in the newspaper." page, to promote your glorious deeds."
"At that time, all the people in the world will know your glorious deeds."
"Although your apology has some influence, it's nothing more than talking about you, which is harmless. It's different to publicize your glorious deeds."
Du Qi said with threats in his words: "You, you have to think clearly."
Du Ruhui frowned slightly when he heard Du Qi's words. As a scholar, Du Ruhui felt that Du Qi's handling was a bit overbearing. But he didn't intervene, because this was his son.
Du Qi was humiliated by Lu Deming. If Du Qi didn't come forward, Du Ruhui would also come forward to deal with this matter.
It's just that if Du Ruhui handles it, it will be lighter.
This is due to personal style.
Lu Deming looked at Du Ruhui, hoping to get Du Ruhui's help. However, Du Ruhui didn't care about it at all, he just stared at Lu Deming, his eyes were clearly urging Lu Deming to respond quickly.
Lu Deming's appeal for help was fruitless, and he was quite disappointed in his heart, so he could only turn to look at Du Qi again.
A pair of eyes full of fear. There is even a glimmer of hope.
I hoped that Du Qi would spare him for a while, but Lu Mingde was disappointed. Du Qi looked at him quietly, and the bright eyes revealed the depth of the heart, which made Lu Deming's heart tremble.
Lu Deming knew that Du Qi could do what he said, and Du Qi was a ruthless person. Just like this, a trace of resentment rose in Lu Deming's heart. Du Qiming could be forgiving and forgiving, but he targeted him like this.
Hateful!
Lu Deming was full of resentment in his heart.
However, in Lu Deming's heart, there was no way to stop him, he could only watch Du Qi humiliate himself.
Lu Deming took a deep breath, and said seriously: "Prince Pingxi, I am willing to write a letter of apology, and I am willing to publish an apology in the newspaper."
Now that the matter has come to this point, Lu Deming has no way out.
He is now dressed in white, and it was impossible for him to become an official in the Zhenguan Dynasty. If he is still targeted by Du Qi and makes it difficult to move an inch, then he will definitely not be able to survive in the end.
"very good!"
Du Qi smiled and said.
Without a pause, Du Qi ordered: "Since you are willing to publish an apology in the newspaper, start writing now. Write down the matter carefully and clearly, and apologize carefully. After writing, sign and sign, and you can leave."
"Come here, bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
Du Qi gave orders immediately.
Not long after, an attendant entered with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and spread it out in front of Lu Deming.
Lu Deming sighed again in his heart.
At this point, he had no way of retreating, and there was no chance of turning back. And this apology, Lu Deming is very clear, it is absolutely impossible to be perfunctory, if you don't explain the cause and effect clearly, it is not sincere enough, and you will definitely not get through. In short, his dignity has to be beaten in the soil, and it has to be the most humble.
Only in this way can we escape today's humiliation.
Lu Deming is also talented and learned. After he has a general direction, he quickly writes. In a short period of time, this letter of apology was written down and fingerprinted.
& nbsp; Lu Deming handed the letter to Du Qi and said, "King Pingxi, please review it."
Du Qi took it over and took a quick look.
He saw the contents of the letter, and a smile appeared on his face. This apology letter was really well written. The responsibility lies with Lu Deming himself. He was not used to Du Qi suddenly ascending to a high position at a young age, that's why he encouraged and instigated Li Chengqian.
The content was nearly 800 words eloquent. After reading all of it, Du Qi suddenly said: "That's right, you have a heart."
Lu Deming looked bitter.
Have a heart!
These words are usually compliments, but at this moment, Lu Deming felt that it was a great irony. The reason is very simple. Lu Deming felt that this incident was the most humiliating moment in his life.
Du Qidao: "I accept this letter of apology."
Lu Deming nodded.
Very silent.
Du Qi continued: "But I think you are sincere, so I won't publish it in the newspaper. The matter between you and me will be written off. I don't know and I'm not interested in whether you hate me or not. I can tell you for sure , and if there is a situation against me or even against the Du family, it is not as simple as ruining your reputation, but taking your head."
"Go!"
Du Qi waved his hand.
When Lu Deming heard this, he was stunned at first. Originally, he was already prepared to be knocked into the dust by Du Qi, and even to be slandered by countless people, but now Du Qi did not publish in the newspaper.
"Thank you, King Pingxi."
Lu Deming was extremely happy when he heard it, and even more excited about the rest of his life after the catastrophe. He bowed respectfully at ninety degrees, then turned and left, walking with a touch of ease.
Du Qi looked at Lu Deming's leaving back and shook his head.
Du Ruhui stroked the beard under his chin and laughed, saying: "Erlang, you are able to open up to Lu Deming. I am very surprised as a father and also proud of you. Because doing so means that you are mature and think more Complete."
Du Qi smiled again.
The previous humiliation of Lu Deming was just an opportunity to beat Lu Deming.
As for the publication in the newspaper, it was to scare Lu Deming. Once it is actually published in the newspaper, although it can ruin Lu Deming's reputation and become a joke for countless people. In fact, it may also cause Du Qi to be criticized by the emperor.
Previously in the palace, the emperor had vented his anger for him. Now that Du Qi wants to kill them all, it will easily arouse the emperor's disgust. This is what Du Qi doesn't want, so he chose to give up publishing in the newspaper.
With this letter from Lu Deming, the matter is done like this.
No more involved.
Du Ruhui said again: "It's getting late, Erlang, go to rest earlier. During this period of time, you will be busy with the marriage, and you must participate in the whole process. It will definitely not be easy."
"yes!"
After Du Qi agreed, he turned and left. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
