Seeing Xin You's cold attitude, Deputy Commander Han waved his hand rudely: "Go and move out the "Painted Skin" board. Don't leave any of it behind!"
"Yes." The officials took the order and left.
Over at the book printing shop, Manager Zhao reluctantly opened the door of the warehouse where the "Painted Skin" book boards were stored, and burst into tears as he watched boxes of book boards being moved out.
These boards were carved out stroke by stroke with his own eyes, and eventually they were bound into volumes and became very popular scripts.
Why did it become like this!
"Be gentle, be gentle!" Manager Zhao couldn't help shouting.
"Go aside!" An officer who thought he was blocking the way hit him with his elbow and walked over with the box in his arms.
Manager Zhao swayed and almost fell down, but fortunately he was supported by two craftsmen on the side.
"Is Guanshi Zhao okay?" a craftsman asked.
Another craftsman also cried when he saw the official leaving with the box in his arms: "Manager Zhao, our bookstore won't close, right?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I have a boss!" Manager Zhao didn't give up and chased after him.
Seeing this, some craftsmen followed silently.
The joy of getting the reward yesterday, which was like celebrating the New Year, was gone. At this moment, the people in the bookstore felt extremely heavy.
In front of the bookstore, more and more people were watching the excitement, and someone shouted: "It's coming out, it's really coming out!"
Those officials didn't know how to take care of them. Some of them just threw the box on the ground, making a loud noise and the book board in the box bounced out.
Shitou cried loudly.
Liu Zhou was afraid of causing trouble to the bookstore, so he cursed in his heart.
Shopkeeper Hu's lips were trembling and tears were streaming down his face.
Xin You looked at the book board on the ground, her eyes cold.
Although she had other purposes for opening the bookstore, she was also careful when running it. Especially when "Painted Skin" was created from scratch, she participated in every step.
Even though I was mentally prepared, I still felt sad and angry when I saw the board that the craftsmen had carved out with so much dedication being so ruined.
Xin You raised her eyes and looked at Deputy Commander Han: "Books are indispensable for preaching, solving doubts, and opening the mind. Master Han, aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this?"
"Retribution?" Upon hearing this, Deputy Commander Han raised his head and laughed, "It's just a storybook for people's entertainment, but Miss Kou thinks it's a sage's book. Retribution? It's a joke!"
He smiled wildly and saw the horrified expressions of others. When he realized something was wrong, he felt severe pain.
Countless pairs of eyes watched as an officer came holding a box. When he was about to reach Deputy Commander Han, his foot slipped. The box flew out and hit him, and then hit him hard on the instep.
Seeing this scene, Xin You felt surprised but not surprised.
It's not surprising because I just saw almost the same scene, except that the one who caused the accident was an official instead of a craftsman. The surprise was that one of the officials had slipped when he was moving boxes, just like the craftsmen.
It can only be said that this person is destined to suffer such a disaster.
Deputy Commander Han's screams soared into the sky, causing a commotion among the spectators.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" The short man who was pushed to the back asked anxiously.
"An official slipped and threw the box, hitting the official's foot."
"Tsk, tsk, that's not a big hit, right?"
"Yes, those boxes look quite heavy."
"Hey, do you still remember what Miss Kou said just now? Is there really retribution for ruining books?"
To those watching the fun, the official's injuries were of no concern at all. The focus of the injuries was better, but if there was retribution for ruining the book, they had to pay attention to it.
So, "Painted Skin" cannot be burned!
"Sir, are you okay?" Several officials came around.
The official who knew he was in trouble was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "Sir, I didn't do this on purpose..."
Deputy Commander Han tried hard to control the urge to scream. He leaned on one of his men and stared down at the foot that was hit.
He was wearing cloth boots with white soles and black tops. The uppers were not obvious yet, and the blood seeping out had stained the white soles red.
The veins on Deputy Commander Han's forehead bulged, and the overwhelming pain made his expression distorted, and he roared: "Smash all these book boards for me!"
As soon as these words came out, all the officials looked at each other in shock, but no one responded for a while.
Of course it wasn't that they were disobedient, but the comments about retribution from the onlookers were filled their ears, which inevitably gave them some hesitation.
Is there really retribution?
Seeing that his men were not moving, Deputy Commander Han shouted: "Are you all deaf?"
Only then did the officials move.
Xin You looked at it expressionlessly, but in fact, she was not in a bad mood.
It only costs some money to engrave more if the book board is gone. The discussion caused by this accident is an unexpected surprise.
Of course, Deputy Commander Han, who had suffered a lot, was able to vent his anger for these book boards that were about to be destroyed.
"Wait a minute." came a cold voice.
The crowd was in a commotion.
"It's Jinlinwei!"
A group of Jinlin Guards armed with waist knives came over with a cold face, headed by He Qingxiao, the envoy of Jinlin Guards.
On this occasion, his expression was very cold, which made his face whiter and his eyes darker. His appearance was so grand that the spectators couldn't help but hold their breath.
Xin You looked at the man in red clothes approaching, surprise flashing in his eyes.
He Qingxiao nodded slightly to Xin You and walked up to Deputy Commander Han.
"Congratulations, Sir." Deputy Commander Han raised his hand to He Qingxiao.
Xin You frowned slightly.
In terms of official positions, there is a big gap between the deputy commander of the Military and Horse Division and the governor of Jinlin Guard Town. In terms of power, they are even worse. But she watched with cold eyes. Deputy Commander Han was respectful to Master He, but not much.
Did Deputy Commander Han have another background?
He Qingxiao lowered her eyebrows and glanced at the scattered books on the ground, with regret in her eyes.
The complicated things between people affect innocent books.
"What are Deputy Commander Han doing?" He Qingxiao asked calmly.
Deputy Commander Han's foot was in severe pain. Facing He Qingxiao, he had to restrain his arrogance. He said with a pale face: "This bookstore sells demon books, causing panic among the people in the capital and causing fires. We, the Military and Horse Division, have the ability to maintain law and order. Responsible, so come and pay the book."
"A demon book?" He Qingxiao raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the crowd watching the excitement, "For those of you who have bought "Painted Skin", do you think "Painted Skin" is a demon book?"
The person who was swept by those clear eyes quickly shouted: "No, how could "Painted Skin" be a demon book!"
"No, no, "Painted Skin" is definitely not a demon book!"
Just kidding, what if "Painted Skin" is said to be a demon book, and the official surnamed Han suffers retribution like this?
After hearing these words, Deputy Commander Han became angry.
This is not what these unscrupulous people said before!
Xin You lowered his eyes, with a smile in his eyes.
Master He must have heard those discussions.
He Qingxiao looked at Deputy Commander Han again: "It seems that Deputy Commander Han misunderstood."
Deputy Commander Han gritted his teeth, lowered his voice and asked, "Sir He, do you really want to get involved in this matter?"
