Chapter 45 Full Moon

Xin You knew the young man's name, Li Li, and he was a printing apprentice.

In the list compiled by Shopkeeper Hu, the craftsmen who mastered key technologies all had the title deeds. With the change of owners, the title deeds were now transferred to Xin You. There were also some ordinary craftsmen apprentices who were not from the old employer. Shen Ning's domestic servants only have an employment relationship.

This Li Li is the latter.

The perpetrator was found, and the place where the incident occurred was found. The rest is left to the full moon.

Xin You was actually very curious as to why shopkeeper Hu appeared outside the warehouse at that time, but it was obviously unwise to ask directly.

It would be too cheap to drive someone like Li Li away directly. The best solution is to catch the thief and steal the stolen goods, and then ask him why he did this.

Are you just venting out your dissatisfaction with your co-workers, or are you accepting the instigation of others when you see that the bookstore is improving?

Fortunately, tomorrow is June 14th. If you guard these three days, the 14th, 15th and 16th, the demon will appear.

"Shopkeeper, does anyone have the key to the door from the residence to the printing house?" Xin You asked on the way out of the printing house.

"Except for you and the villain, there are only one at the two nursing homes and one at Manager Zhao's."

Xinyou stopped and looked at the warehouse.

She could only infer that the crime occurred after she went to bed, but she could not determine the specific time, so she could only rely on the stupid method of waiting and waiting.

"Let's do this. Let's buy some firecloth for the warehouse I just saw. When the balance is sufficient in the future, we can use it for other warehouses as well."

Forget it, the boss is still young, and he may be able to grow faster with some training. As a shopkeeper, he cannot undermine the boss's confidence.

I can still afford it for three nights.

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "The printing shop is full of people during the day, so there is no need for it. I usually go there for inspection at night and once before going to bed."

"Shopkeeper, that poor scholar tells people that our bookstore is lying to people for spending five hundred taels of silver to buy a story. No matter how well-written the story is, they won't buy it. It's just to attract people so that they can sell other books!"

Waiting until nightfall, shopkeeper Hu found two reliable men to move the fire cloth to the warehouse of the headquarters, and covered it with a wooden board without going into details.

Shopkeeper Hu was stunned for a moment.

"There are only two guards, and it is really hard to patrol both the house and the printing shop. Shopkeeper, you said that the stereotypes in the Classics and History Collection are very important, and these boards are all made of wood, so you can't relax the moth-proofing and fire-proofing, right? "

Xin You patted her arm to signal her not to be nervous, and hid in the dark, staring at the people who were getting closer and closer.

In Xiaolian's heart, the girl was mysterious and powerful. She even thought about whether it was a fairy who came down to the earth to avenge her girl?

Shopkeeper Hu: "..." Otherwise?

"Is that so?"

Xin You went back to his residence, locked himself in the house, and continued writing the unfinished story.

"When do the two guards go to inspect the printing house?"

She didn't understand why the girl came out at this time without holding up the lamp, but the things Xinyou had done before had given her complete trust in the new master.

She had originally considered handing it over to a nursing home, but thinking about the apprentice named Li Li, Xin You gave up the idea.

He always felt that his boss would miscalculate this time.

"The shopkeeper will arrange for two trustworthy people to move these cloths to the warehouse at night."

Shopkeeper Hu once again lamented the progress of the new owner, and was particularly happy to explain: "It is a fire-resistant cloth, which has a certain fire-proof effect. When the wood board paper is being carved, there are many people busy, and it is easy to catch fire, so I use the fire-colored cloth to cover it."

Not long after, the man Liu Zhou came back angrily.

As luck would have it, the scene I saw in the picture happened on the first night.

On the road illuminated only by the moonlight, two people were walking, it was Xinyou and Xiaolian.

It was quiet in the house. Even the patrol nurse had checked the door locks and rested.

The bright moon is bright, the summer heat is fading away at this moment, and the wind is blowing the flowers and trees.

“The boss is very considerate.”

In the afternoon, shopkeeper Hu reported to Xin You that Huo Huanbu was ready.

Xin You looked calm: "Our bookstore has undergone a lot of changes recently, so the printing shop should remain as normal as possible to prevent people from being upset."

"That's for sure. The warehouses where the stereotypes are stored are built separately and are not connected to each other. The floors are paved with stone slabs and are specially treated for mothproofing. No one is allowed in or out except for taking and placing the stereotypes."

Facing the new owner's confused expression, the old shopkeeper twitched his lips and said, "I don't have that much money."

Shopkeeper Hu had a complicated expression: "It's useless."

Compared to the houses with lanterns under the eaves for lighting, the printing shop was even darker. Even though there was a full moon hanging in the sky, everything still looked pitch black.

"That's it." Xin You suddenly realized.

"Don't worry, shopkeeper, I know it well."

When shopkeeper Hu heard this, he quickly reported it to Xin You.

She had just taken over the bookstore, and it was unknown who she could really trust and who had different intentions. Since she could prevent this, there was no need to leave it in the hands of uncertain people.

Shopkeeper Hu opened his mouth to persuade, but then thought of the 20,000 taels spent by the new owner, and gave up the advice: "Listen to the owner's arrangements."

The next day, June 14th, shopkeeper Hu found that there were fewer people coming to the bookstore to sell books. He was still worried about the down-and-out scholar who left angrily yesterday, so he sent his clerk to go outside to inquire.

Speaking of this, Xiaolian couldn't help but think of the Mid-Autumn Festival in two months.

Huohuan cloth is not cheap. Which printing shop keeps all the printing plates in its warehouse using Huohuan cloth?

"The moon is very bright tonight." Xin You looked up at the bright moon in the sky and said softly.

It was night in a blink of an eye.

"I see some book boards in the hall are covered with cloth. Is there anything special about that?"

At this time, there was suddenly the sound of slight footsteps, and Xiaolian was surprised and hurriedly pulled Xinyou's sleeve.

Xiaolian also glanced at the bright moon and echoed: "Yes, tomorrow will be the fifteenth day."

The little maid was thinking about something else, but Xin You walked straight to the printing shop with firm and calm steps.

Does the girl have other family members?

There are two managers in the bookstore, one is Manager Hu, who is mainly in charge of the front, and the other is Manager Zhao, who is responsible for managing the craftsmen in the printing shop.

The house where Xinyou lives is divided into the east and west courtyards, and the west courtyard is reserved for these craftsmen. In addition to patrolling the house, the two guards also have the responsibility of patrolling the printing shop.

"My boss, if you let him talk nonsense like this, I'm worried that the gentleman who really writes stories with all his heart will be deceived by him..."

Until then, it would be best for her to accompany the girl.

Seeing that Xin You was unmoved, Shopkeeper Hu sighed inwardly.

"Girl, be careful where you step." Xiaolian reminded in a low voice.

The man looked around, walked to the warehouse door, took out the firewood, lit the firewood, opened the door and threw the firewood inside.

Just then Shopkeeper Hu appeared and shouted angrily: "What are you doing!"

Li Li's expression changed drastically, he picked up the stone hidden in his sleeve and hit Shopkeeper Hu on the head hard.

Xiaolian couldn't help but exclaimed.
