The household servant was ruthless, and directly arrested Qin Ming's old housekeeper for the crime of tax evasion.

and seized the Qinjia paper printing factory, threatening a thousand employees inside to work for him.

This matter was a trivial matter in the entire imperial capital, and no one noticed it at all, but it just happened.

At the same time, a Wang's paper printing factory was born in a small corner of the imperial capital, and owned all the tools of the Qin family's paper printing factory, including the previous workers.

As a result, Wang's bookstore came to more than a dozen in the imperial capital.

And the original Qin Family Bookstore has no source of books, and there are fewer and fewer books.

And Wang's Bookstore has published books, and it is also 20,000 or 30,000 books per day, but the price has doubled.

Originally, a book in the Qin Family Library was about one tael of silver, but now, Wang's Bookstore sells two taels of silver.

Too expensive? When you go to buy transcribed books, the schedule is not good, there are typos, the paper is not good, and there are three or four books.

Not for sale? Going to the Qin Family Library? I'm sorry, but the Qin Family Library has no source of books.

As a result, many people gritted their teeth and bought it.

The head of the household, the squire Wang Dalong, smiled.

He asked Qin Ming's printing factory to be sealed, but the equipment inside was imitated and produced by him, and there were workers and technology, and he earned this money above board.

At this moment, Hubu Shangshu walked to the door, and as soon as he came in, he scolded: "Wang Dalong, what did you do?" ”

Wang Dalong, the head of the household, pretended to be confused: "My lord, what did I do?" ”

"Are you still pretending to be confused? Qin Ming's factory was seized by you? Shang Shu was furious.

The squire smiled: "My lord, we are in charge of taxes, and his Qin family factory ships goods to the library, but it is not taxed, shouldn't I seize it?" ”

"You're pretty good at taking advantage of loopholes, huh? The official asks you, what is going on with your Wang's printing house? Shang Shu asked.

Wang Dalong said: "My lord, although he is a lowly businessman, and officials cannot engage in business, but Qin Ming at the beginning can do it, can't he be an official?" Besides, the printing house is my family's business, not me? ”

"This official is not saying that you can't be in business, but that you are ...... Hey, why did you steal Qin Ming's papermaking and printing technology? Shangshu asked.

Wang Dalong frowned: "My lord, this is over, right?" His Qin Ming's factory was seized for not paying taxes, this book must be made by someone, right?

Xia Guan didn't use his tools, and the current tools are all made by myself, so how can I talk about stealing technology? Even their workers volunteered to do it with me, and I didn't force it. ”

"You ......," Tobe Shangshu pointed to the squire Wang Dalong and said:

"You are a three-grade waiter, do this kind of thing, you know in your heart, such a big mistake, why did you do it?"

Wang Dalong's eyes widened: "My lord, the lower officials are impartial in investigating the Qin family's factory, and building the factory by themselves is for the sake of the world's scholars, and letting a thousand workers work for me is to give them a livelihood." Dare to ask your lord, what's wrong with the lower officials? ”

Shang Shu snorted: "I hope that after Qin Ming comes back, you can be so sharp-toothed and so tough!" ”

"Heh, Lord Shangshu, I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed, I'm not afraid to tell you, the eldest princess told Xia Guan, Qin Ming, no matter what, she won't come back!"

Wang Dalong smiled gloomily and said lightly.

"What? Big...... The princess ......" Shang Shu's face changed slightly: "Could it be that everything you do also has the meaning of the eldest princess?" ”

"Not only that, but the eldest princess also said that your position will be mine soon......"

Wang Dalong waved his sleeves, as if he was already a scholar at this moment, and sat on the chair with a big grin.

Hubu Shangshu took a deep breath, glanced at the waiter Wang Dalong, and said: "Women are in power, and it will be a disaster in the end, our majesty, it's not that you don't understand this truth, so you are on the wrong side!" ”

With that, he turned and left!

However, Wang Dalong was disdainful: "Whoever is in power has nothing to do with me, Qin Ming can't come back anyway." ”

……

It was at this time that outside the Qin Mansion.

Several of the main guests of the Ministry of Rites led people up to the front and back, and said to the subordinates guarding the door: "Get out of the way, I'll wait to pick up the princess of Yanguo and the princess of Jinguo!" ”

The two gatekeepers tried to block it, but it didn't work.

The host and guest Shirou rushed in directly with someone.

In the hall of the Qin family, the little princess was not there, so she returned to the palace.

Only Yan Lingfei, Ye Xiaowu, and Li Muxi are here, and Zixuan has gone to Shuntianfu to work.

After the host and guest Shiro arrived in the hall, he bowed to Yan Lingfei and Ye Xiaowu and said:

"Two princesses, you are the guests of my Chu country, when His Majesty decreed, the princes and princesses of all countries have to live in the Sifang Pavilion, the two princesses have been living in this Qin Mansion these days, which makes the subordinates very embarrassed!"

Yan Lingfei spoke: "Don't be embarrassed, I'm used to living in this Qin Mansion, so I don't have to go to the Sifang Pavilion." ”

"Me too, so, you go back!" Ye Xiaowu also spoke.

The host and guest Shiro smiled: "The two princesses don't make the lower officials ugly, this majesty's will is the will after all, and no one can disobey it, so let's go with the lower officials?" ”

"Didn't you understand what we were saying? No one took care of this a few days ago, so why are you embarrassed today? Ye Xiaowu frowned.

Yan Lingfei sneered: "I'm afraid that some people have heard some rumors about Qin Ming's death, so they will take it seriously, right?" Why, do you really think Qin Ming is dead? ”

"Heh, it's ridiculous, I heard some rumors and I can't wait? It's really not a bit of concentration! Ye Xiaowu also sneered.

The host and guest Shiro said lightly: "Xia Guan doesn't know what the two princesses are talking about, so please let the two of you go with me, don't ...... Hands-on than us. ”

"Do you dare to do one for me to see?" Yan Lingfei's eyes sharpened.

She is the princess of Yanguo, and she is not afraid of this little host and guest Silang.

However, after she finished saying this, a woman's voice sounded at the door.

"Princess Yanguo's temper is really big!"

When everyone looked, they saw the eldest princess, who was wearing a luxurious robe and had a good temperament, walked in expressionlessly.

When the host and guest Shiro saw the eldest princess coming, he hurriedly bowed down:

"I've seen Your Highness, Your Royal Highness the Princess, how can you come to such a noble place?"

The eldest princess walked over slowly, looked around the house, and said, "This palace will come and see what is the difference between the two princesses and the place where they have to stay."

Tsk, this Qin Mansion was also a place of despair, and it took a year of desolation to regain some vitality. It's a pity, from now on, it's going to be bleak again. ”

"The eldest princess thinks Qin Ming is dead?" Yan Lingfei said lightly.

"It's not the palace's decision, it's just that the secret agents of the father's emperor lurking in Liguo have come to report that Qin Ming is here. Surrounded by thousands of officers and soldiers, the wooden building was burned to death, and the corpses were charred. ”

When the eldest princess said this, she smiled.

"The world says that among the three princesses of Chu State, the third princess is responsible for beauty, the second princess is proficient in warfare, and the eldest princess is in control of strategy. Now in my opinion, I'm afraid that the eldest princess is not worthy of her name! ”

Yan Lingfei said, and laughed contemptuously.

"Oh? I want to hear about it! "Princess Celestia is not angry.

Yan Lingfei smiled and said, "Dare to ask the eldest princess, how many times has Qin Ming died?" I was impressed that once he died, and you said you had seen his ghost, and the result was ......... Hahaha......"

Celestia's face was gloomy!
