"Search for me!"
Xue Zixuan waved his hand, and suddenly a group of government servants rushed into Xinhua Bookstore like wolves and tigers, took the new books off the bookshelf, and threw them into the open space outside.
Yu Qing said hurriedly: "Mr. Xue, why is this?"
Xue Zixuan sneered, and Li Kun, the loser next to him, shouted: "Yu Qing, the new book in your bookstore actually dares to reflect Mr. Xue. What a courageous dog! I will burn all your useless books today."
Yu Qing said hurriedly: "It's unfair. The villain inside is named Xue Tao, not Mr. Xue."
Those waiting to buy books started to help.
"Yes, it's too arrogant to burn books like this."
"That's right, and it's written on the first page of the book. If there are any similarities between the characters in the book, it's really a coincidence. They all said it was a coincidence, and they used it on themselves. This is obviously to blackmail others."
"I see, I'm jealous because Xinhua Bookstore's new books are selling well."
"I originally thought Xue Zixuan was a great talent, but I didn't expect him to be so narrow-minded. Bah! I will never buy his books again."
"I don't buy it either. It's really disgusting to bully people just because my uncle is the county magistrate."
"I was really blind before, liking people like this."
"..."
Hearing such comments, Xue Zixuan was so angry that his character that he had worked hard for many years was ruined.
County Lieutenant Zhou Meng also heard these voices, frowned slightly, and shouted: "Whoever dares to gossip again will be arrested."
Suddenly the people around him didn't dare to speak, and of course they were angry in their hearts.
If the book is burned, they will have nothing to read.
People around him stopped talking, and Xue Zixuan slowly calmed down. He sneered in his heart. The books were burned today, the bookstore was closed, and people were arrested. These people had no books to read, and they would come to buy their own books when the time comes.
When the time comes, I will spend money to build momentum and eliminate the negative influence. I will still be the Xue Zixuan worshiped by these people.
These assholes are the best to fool.
"Sir, all the books on the bookshelf are here."
A yamen servant reported to Zhou Meng.
Xue Zixuan frowned slightly, so few?
It shouldn't be. It is said that tens of thousands of books were bought yesterday. Although I don't know what method Xu Ning used to engrave these books, but since he wants to go against himself, there must be more than this.
He looked at Yu Qing and said coldly: "Shopkeeper Yu, hand over both [Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai], otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you."
Yu Qing said bitterly: "Mr.
Xue Zixuan winked, and Li Kun immediately asked Yu Qing to take him to the library.
He came back not long after and whispered to Xue Zixuan: "It's not in the library."
Xue Zixuan nodded and said loudly: "Everyone in Qingzhou, I am a member of the current dynasty. The [Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai] sold by Xinhua Bookstore reflects on me and ruins my reputation. It is extremely abominable."
"If this matter is not severely punished, then there will be books that reflect the governors and prime ministers in the future. We must not allow this evil trend to grow. I will burn this book now to give my Zhou Dynasty a bright future! "
He spoke impassionedly, and the literati whom he invited with money immediately applauded.
Li Kun's thugs poured kerosene on the book, and then handed the torch to Xue Zixuan.
Xue Zixuan threw the torch down.
boom!
A raging fire burned, and the flames reached into the sky, making the Xinhua Bookstore red. In the light of the fire, Xue Zixuan's face was extremely relaxed, as if the general happiness was released on the brothel girl.
That feeling of pleasure made every cell in his body scream.
Xu Ning, Xu Ning.
No matter how good your writing is, what's the use? I'll burn you on fire!
And you disgusting dog, I will pluck out your skin and whip you hard!
The county magistrate is my uncle, how can you, a plain-headed commoner, fight with me?
I, Xue Zixuan, am the mountain you need to look up to!
Even though you are worthy of competing with me for business, I really don’t know how to write the word “death”. I’m afraid you will burst into tears when you see your book being burned.
Hahaha!
I, Xue Zixuan, am powerful and rich, you trash, it’s your honor to step on you!
…
The people around him sighed, it was such a pity that such a beautiful book was burned.
"I am County Lieutenant Zhou Meng. I was ordered by the County Magistrate to seal down Xinhua Bookstore and arrest Yu Qing, Xu Ning and Liang Cong." Zhou Meng spoke loudly.
Yu Qing's expression changed. He didn't expect Xue Zixuan to be so ruthless. Not only did he burn down the Shufeng store, but he also arrested people.
If he is taken back to the county government office, he may never be able to come out again, and he may die unjustly in prison.
"Wait!"
Seeing that the government officials were going to arrest Yu Qing, Xu Ning stood up.
Xue Zixuan was excited when he saw Xu Ning appear. He didn't see Xu Ning at first, and thought he had run away after seeing such a big battle, but he didn't expect that he would dare to stand up.
Take him back today and torture him severely!
"He is Xu Ning, arrest him!" Li Kun pointed at Xu Ning and shouted. He was also included in the book. Although everyone's focus was on Xue Zixuan, he was somewhat ignored, mainly because he, Li Kun, was not included in the book. Being famous does not mean that Li Kun is not angry.
I am a talented scholar, but you actually describe me as a dog slave. This is simply unreasonable.
Moreover, the word "dog licking" appeared in the book, which made Li Kun feel that Xu Ning had created it specifically for him, which made Li Kun extremely angry.
You are the licking dog! Your whole family is a licking dog!
"None of you dare to move!"
Many government officials were about to step forward to take someone away. Zhao Lingshuang stood in front of Xu Ning, her momentum erupting, and the dust on the ground rose.
"Refining Zang Realm!"
Zhou Meng sneered and took a step forward. The same momentum exploded, and suddenly a strong wind blew up all around. The momentum was much stronger than that of Zhao Lingshuang.
Zhao Lingshuang's expression changed, she was in the marrow cleansing state, and her aura was even stronger than that of her father, Zhao Yongwei.
I am afraid that the fifth level of martial arts is not far away from the exchange of blood. Zhao Lingshuang's hand shrunk in her sleeve has already grasped the pistol.
As long as Zhou Meng dared to attack, she would dare to shoot. Even if the opponent was a county captain, she had to protect Xu Ning's safety. At worst, she would roam the world with Junior Brother Xu from now on.
Xu Ning also felt Zhou Meng's terror at this time. This was the first time he faced a master of the Marrow Cleansing Realm. He felt like a leaf that would be swept away by the strong wind at any time.
If Zhao Lingshuang hadn't stood in front of him, Xu Ning might not have been able to stand firmly.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Lieutenant Zhou County, do I have something to say? This matter is of great importance, and it even affects your black gauze hat!"
Zhou Meng raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "What's the matter?"
"The new book [Wu Ting Lian] written by Xue Zixuan seems to be about romantic affairs, but in fact it is dissatisfied with the empress for destroying the Wu Dynasty, and even has the intention of restoration and rebellion."
"If you arrest him now and send him to the magistrate's office, it will be a great achievement. If you insist on arresting me, you will be an accomplice when Judge Wu Tong comes!"
Hearing Xu Ning's words, Zhou Meng was stunned for a moment, and Xue Zixuan next to him burst into laughter.
"Xu Ning, Xu Ning, you want to bite me back when you are about to die. You don't even know how to tell lies. There is no point in my book about restoring the Wu Dynasty and treason. You are jumping over the wall in a hurry!"
