Chapter 118 Seizure
Author: Willow leaves in winter
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 Jinlin Wei solemnly leaving 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: "Jinlin Guards are 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."
Xin You looked away, with surprise in her eyes.
The real culprit is Mr. Ping An, who has been dismissed from Yaxin Bookstore. This murder case has nothing to do with Yaxin Bookstore. Yaxin Bookstore's fault is spreading rumors and stirring up trouble.
Just like this, it won’t be closed down, 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 raced and she came up with a guess: Could it be that Mr. He reported matters related to this case to the emperor?
If this is the case, 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 accounts!
"
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 dies and the fox is sad? It doesn’t exist.
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 when he 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.
Now it's good, now that we don't have Yaxin Bookstore as a rival, we still get 600 taels of silver in vain.
"The shopkeeper thinks too much. It's nothing."
Shopkeeper Hu chuckled and said nothing more.
Mr. Ping An was considered a celebrity in the capital, especially Mr. Song Ling, who was highly praised by many people before his sudden rise. Therefore, once the case was discovered, people's enthusiasm for discussion was completely aroused.
For a while, everyone was talking about the case of Mr. Ping An's murder of a beggar, and Qingsong Bookstore and Miss Kou were inevitably mentioned.
Princess Zhaoyang originally focused all her thoughts on her frightened little daughter, but after hearing some rumors, she asked the steward to inquire about it.
The steward quickly reported the information to Princess Zhaoyang in detail.
Different from people's heated discussions 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, and 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, which is 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, but 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 instigating things, 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 is brave enough 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, it was naturally because they hoped that the two young people would be interested in each other instead of being forceful.
"One hundred sets?" Kong Rui thought he heard wrongly.
Princess Zhaoyang nodded with a smile: "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 ordered the steward: "When Kong Zhang goes to the office, please ask him to come over."
Kong Zhang was the son of uncle Kong Rui. He passed the imperial examination and became an official. Now he is an official.
The eldest princess of Zhaoyang has never been able to bear grievances. Since Gu Changbo instigated his niece-in-law to cause trouble for the bandit girl, then don't blame her for not being rude to her.
Here Kong Rui and two boys rushed to Qingsong Bookstore. On the way, the boys 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 actually 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 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, I'm just here for a walk."
The boy's mouth twitched.
The queue is like this, why don't you just come and hang out?
Seeing that the older man couldn't find out, the boy asked a young man at the end of the team to ask.
The young man actually 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.
