Liu Zhou rushed in: "Shopkeeper, go out and take a look!"
He did not forget to pull out a handful of stones: "Go and call the boss to come out and take a look!"
Shopkeeper Hu saw Liu Zhou being so excited and walked out quickly. Just as he saw Jinlinwei leaving solemnly after affixing the seal, everyone in Yaxin Bookstore was left in panic.
Shopkeeper Hu took a breath: "It was sealed?"
Liu Zhou stretched his neck and sighed: "Jin Linwei is so awesome!"
The old shopkeeper and the young man looked at each other, thinking of one person at the same time, and then they reflected crazily in their hearts: Are their attitudes towards Mr. He too casual?
Xin You walked out: "What happened?"
Liu Zhou stepped aside and said, "Look, boss, the bookstore opposite has been sealed off by Jinlin Guards."
Xinyou looked away, with surprise in her eyes.
The real culprit was Mr. Ping An, who had been fired by Yaxin Bookstore. This murder had nothing to do with Yaxin Bookstore. Yaxin Bookstore's fault was spreading rumors and stirring up trouble.
It's just that, it won't reach the point of being seized, right? The people behind Yaxin Bookstore are also officials and officials who have been rooted in the capital for many years.
Xin You's thoughts were racing and she had a guess: Could it be that Master He reported the matter related to this incident to the emperor?
If so, it makes sense.
"Go in." Xin You said calmly, turned around and walked into the bookstore.
Shopkeeper Hu also followed in, leaving Liu Zhou standing on tiptoe to watch the excitement.
Soon Liu Zhou also went in and said regretfully: "It's so dark that I can't see anything."
Suddenly a loud voice came from outside: "Be careful, don't hit the seal when you throw rotten eggs!"
Why are there still people throwing rotten eggs?
Liu Zhou rushed out again and came back to report after a while: "Many people heard that the rumors about evil spirits harming people were spread by Yaxin Bookstore. They felt sorry for the burned books and brought rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves to settle the score! "
I didn’t expect to see the excitement of Yaxin Bookstore being closed down.
"It seems that Yaxin Bookstore is really finished." Liu Zhou sighed, picked up the rag and wiped the bookshelf happily.
The rabbit is dead and the fox is sad? nonexistent.
Since the bookstore opened opposite, their bookstore has been affected a lot. At the worst time, it almost closed down. Fortunately, the owner came.
Shopkeeper Hu thought so too. The look in his eyes that looked at Xin You had the kindness of an elder, and more of a look of admiration.
"Master, did you just arrive before?"
No wonder when the owner of Yaxin Bookstore came to apologize, he casually revealed it.
It's good now. Without Yaxin Bookstore as a rival, I still got 600 taels of silver in vain.
"The shopkeeper thinks too much, it's nothing."
Shopkeeper Hu chuckled and said nothing more.
Mr. Ping'an is considered a celebrity in the capital, especially before Mr. Songling's sudden rise, he was highly respected by many people. Therefore, as soon as the eucalyptus was found out, people's enthusiasm for discussion was completely aroused.
For a while, everyone was talking about Mr. Ping An's murder of a beggar, including Qingsong Bookstore and Miss Kou.
Princess Zhaoyang originally focused all her attention on her frightened little daughter, but after hearing some rumors, she asked the steward to inquire.
The steward quickly reported the information to Princess Zhaoyang in detail.
Different from people's heated discussion about Mr. Ping An's murder and Yaxin Bookstore's muddy waters and being blocked, Princess Zhaoyang's attention was focused on Dongcheng Bingma Division's trouble with Qingsong Bookstore.
She didn't know about Concubine Shu's anger. She was thinking of Guchangbo Mansion.
Was this because she was dissatisfied with her entering the palace and causing their son to be beaten up in public? He didn't dare to cause trouble with her, so he went to find trouble with his daughter's savior, Miss Kou?
"This is unreasonable!" Princess Zhaoyang became more and more annoyed as she thought about it, "Call the eldest son here."
The eldest son Kong Rui does not usually live in the eldest princess's mansion, but in the Jing'an Hou Mansion not far from the eldest princess's mansion.
After the founding of the Xia Dynasty, the eldest princess's consort was granted the title of Marquis of Jing'an. After his death, the title was passed to Kong Rui.
Kong Rui was already a marquis before he reached the crown, but people in the eldest princess's palace still used to call him the eldest son.
Not long after, Kong Rui came over.
"Mother is looking for me."
Looking at Qingjun's reserved son, Princess Zhaoyang asked, "Has Rui'er heard about what's going on outside?"
Kong Rui shook his head blankly.
"Are you playing with those things of yours again?"
Kong Rui smiled innocently at his mother.
Princess Zhaoyang sighed.
She and her husband are both normal. Why has her son been obsessed with tinkering with weird things since he was a child?
Sure enough, the Hou Mansion still needs a capable hostess.
"Mother doesn't object to your tinkering, but you must ensure your own safety." Princess Zhaoyang reiterated again.
"My son knows."
Princess Zhaoyang revealed the purpose of calling her son here: "Take people to Qingsong Bookstore and buy one hundred sets of "Painted Skin"."
This not only supports Miss Kou, but also creates opportunities for her son, which is the best of both worlds.
In the heart of Princess Zhaoyang, Miss Kou has the courage to save people and also supports a large bookstore on her own. She is the perfect daughter-in-law candidate in terms of character and ability.
As for why they didn't go to Shaoqing's Mansion to propose marriage, they naturally hoped that the two young people would be interested in each other, rather than being forceful.
"One hundred sets?" Kong Rui thought he heard wrongly.
Princess Zhaoyang smiled and nodded: "Go ahead and bring a few more people to move the books."
Kong Rui responded with no change on his face, but doubts arose in his heart: Wasn't his mother deliberately teasing him because he stayed in the house every day to study things?
After her son left, the eldest princess Zhaoyang stopped laughing and told the steward: "When Kong Zhang comes to the office, please ask him to come over."
Kong Zhang is the son of Uncle Kong Rui. He entered the imperial examination and became an official. Now he is a public official.
The eldest princess of Zhaoyang has never been able to bear grievances. Since Gu Changbo instigated his niece's son-in-law to cause trouble for the bandit girl, then don't blame her for not being rude to her.
Kong Rui and two boys rushed to Qingsong Bookstore. On the way, they heard about what happened in the past few days.
"So, people are afraid to buy "Painted Skin" now?"
"Probably I don't dare anymore. Even if the truth comes out, it's embarrassing to think about it." The boy guessed.
While talking, I arrived outside the Qingsong Bookstore and saw a long queue from inside to the street.
Kong Rui found that there were many old scholar-looking people in the team.
"Dear guests, if you want to buy "Painted Skin", please take it back. The store has no stock, and there is no printing for the time being." Liu Zhou shouted at the top of his lungs.
Kong Rui took a deep look at the boy.
The boy looked embarrassed and hurriedly went to inquire.
"Old sir, why do so many people come to buy "Painted Skin"?"
"Ahem, just casually visiting."
The boy's mouth twitched.
The queue is like this, why should you just come and hang out?
Seeing that the older man couldn't figure it out, the boy asked a young man at the end of the team to ask.
The young man had something to say: "I heard that Meng Jijiu came to buy "Painted Skin", so I was curious and bought it to take a look."
At this time, Meng Jijiu was teaching his grandson a lesson.
"You bastard, am I going to buy "Painted Skin"? I told you to spread rumors!"
