Chapter 47
Shopkeeper Hu was shocked and knelt down: "Thanks to my boss for having such magical power, I saved this little guy's life!"
Xin You hurriedly helped shopkeeper Hu up: "The shopkeeper doesn't have to be like this."
Shopkeeper Hu, however, looked at Xin You with sparkling eyes as if he were meeting her for the first time: "My boss, you are so proficient in physiognomy at such a young age. Is this a talent?"
Xin You was silent, smiled and nodded: "Yes, I have talent."
"Just say what I mean-" Shopkeeper Hu sighed.
Xin You: "..." How could I hear deep regret in Shopkeeper Hu's drawn-out voice?
Shopkeeper Hu does feel sorry.
Who wouldn’t want to learn such a magical physiognomy after seeing it!
After regretting it, Shopkeeper Hu was even more moved: "My boss, you shouldn't take risks for a villain. Why don't you call the nursing home?"
Xin You had long expected that Shopkeeper Hu would ask this question, so she casually gave an explanation: "After all, it's just speculation, there is no need to mobilize troops. I can help the shopkeeper if he encounters trouble. If there is no trouble, the moonlight will be good tonight."
Just take a walk."
"The shopkeeper just says whatever comes to his mind."
"By the way, why did the shopkeeper go to the warehouse at night?" Xin You also asked her doubts.
"I really don't know, I can swear! I've never seen that person before..." Li Li said quickly, fearing that Xiaolian would come over if he was too slow.
Compared to the anger of Shopkeeper Hu and Manager Zhao, Xin You was much calmer and just called Xiaolian lightly.
Manager Zhao was so angry that he kicked him: "You don't even know anyone, but for four taels of silver you did such an unscrupulous thing!"
"Xiao Lian, take the cloth from his mouth."
At Xin You's signal, Xiao Lian poured a glass of water and handed it over, holding back her disgust and feeding Li Li a few sips.
Li Li's face looked better, and tears started to flow down his face as soon as he opened his mouth: "It's all because of the evil villain. He lost money in gambling. Someone gave the villain four taels of silver and asked me to do this..."
Seeing the confusion on Shopkeeper Hu's face, Xin You said calmly: "I'm bringing bricks with me."
Shopkeeper Hu was mentally prepared and immediately called two men to take Li Li to the government.
Xin You smiled: "Lock him up like this overnight, and he will probably speak out tomorrow. We will send him to prison after he speaks out."
He thought that Li Li told the truth and would be kicked out at most.
What should I do if I am too late to prevent fires on weekdays and actually start a fire? The fire cannot be controlled and the entire area is burned?
The more people thought about it, the angrier they became. They chased Li Li and scolded him all the way to the government office. There were also many rotten vegetables and leaves to greet him.
"My boss, are you really going to send Li Li to the official position tomorrow?"
"What happened at Qingsong Bookstore?"
"My boss is really——" Shopkeeper Hu didn't know how to praise him for a moment.
Intentional arson is a serious crime, and it can range from a slap in the face to jail, to a banishment of the head. In short, it is enough for Li Li to endure.
"I don't know, it looks like a craftsman from Qingsong Bookstore."
Xin You heard this and couldn't laugh or cry.
When these people were no longer present, shopkeeper Hu bowed to Xin You and said, "My boss is still smart. If someone wants to do evil, they will have to think carefully."
"My boss is taking too many risks. You are a woman after all. If the person who did evil tonight is a gangster with strong martial arts skills, wouldn't he have brought my boss into trouble?" Shopkeeper Hu felt frightened when he thought of Li Li's ferocious expression when he lifted the stone.
"It's too late, let's rest first."
"It's the person who instigated Li Li. The government may not be careful to investigate." Shopkeeper Hu reminded Xin You because he was afraid that he had too high expectations.
"I understand. As the shopkeeper said, there is nothing we can do if there is no evidence. Running Qingsong Bookstore well is the best way to fight back."
Shopkeeper Hu sighed: "I found out today that a book of poems was sold out, so I told the master of the printing shop to print more copies tomorrow morning. However, after I went to bed, I suddenly remembered that there was a different wording on a plate in the book of poems. Although there is no harm in printing it, now that I thought of it,
It’s better to change it, but I can’t remember which stereotype it is. I can’t sleep with such a thing in my mind, so I might as well go over and confirm..."
"Ya Xin Bookstore?"
"My boss, please spare my life, please spare my life——"
Shopkeeper Hu believed this, but as a few days passed, the number of people coming to the bookstore to sell stories decreased significantly. The reason was that the down-and-out scholar spread the word everywhere.
"Who is that person?" Shopkeeper Hu asked.
The word "Xiaolian" instantly brought back the terrible memory of Li Li being stuffed in the mouth with a rag all night.
"The villain thinks it was instigated by the bookstore opposite."
One night passed, and what Xinyou saw was Li Li who was beating the eggplant in Rushuang.
The clerk Liu Zhou was asked and asked directly: "That bitch's name is Li Li. He is a printing apprentice in our bookstore. He was ordered to burn down the warehouse last night. When he was discovered, he wanted to kill someone and silence him..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Seeing Xin You, Li Li seemed to have used all his strength to shake his face.
Shopkeeper Hu nodded: "The owner of Yaxin Bookstore has a feud with the old owner of our bookstore. They opened Yaxin Bookstore across the street a few years ago specifically for competition. Unfortunately, the old owner's health is not good, and the young owner has no intention of running it.
The other party was soon overwhelmed with pressure. Now that our bookstore has changed to a new owner, the news of buying a story for five hundred taels of silver has spread throughout the capital, and business has also improved. The other party is probably planning to kill our bookstore in advance.
"
Li Li choked and stopped talking, but he was not convinced in his heart: If you don't know the person, how can you not know the money?
Seeing that Li Li didn't look fake, Xin You said to shopkeeper Hu: "Since you can't find anything out, let's send him to the government."
Shopkeeper Hu suddenly lowered his voice: "My boss, I have a guess, but there is no evidence -"
When everyone heard this, they cursed one after another.
"Shopkeeper, don't think too much. Since I dare to go, I can handle it."
Everyone: "..." were not comforted.
From the questioning hall to the outside of Qingsong Bookstore, Li shouted at the top of his lungs, causing countless comments.
In Qingsong Bookstore, Xin You gathered the craftsmen together and comforted them softly: "Don't be afraid, everyone. If there are such villains in the future, they will all be sent to the government."
I can't tell that shopkeeper Hu is still impatient.
"Don't know?" Manager Zhao slapped the table, "Li Li, until now you are still so stubborn!"
Xiaolian neatly took away the rag from Li Li's mouth. Li Li's mouth was numb, and it took him a while to tremble and speak: "I... said... I said..."
Manager Zhao showed a surprised expression.
Shopkeeper Hu: "..."
"have no idea--"
"Of course it's good if it can be found out. It's okay if it can't be found out. We just need to pay more attention in the future." Xin You is very tolerant of this.
Not to mention the fire that just didn't light up, the majority of cases involving missing children or even murder cases remain unsolved.
Shopkeeper Hu sighed with worry, and Duan Shaoqing, who heard about the situation in the bookstore, finally had something to say.
"Mom, let me just say you can't let Qingqing do whatever you want."
"Qingqing will be back tomorrow during the ten-day holiday. I will talk about her then."
The next day, June 20, as soon as Xin You came to the front of the bookstore, Duan Yunlang came in.
