Because of Zhou Youde's special instructions, Zhou Taifu acted very carefully.

sent someone to test the old man of the Xu family repeatedly, and only after confirming that everything was foolproof did he ask someone to contact him.

And he sent to hand over to the old man a woman, which can be described as a harmless type of man and animal. No matter how shrewd the people of the Xu family are, it is impossible to find the Zhou family along the vine.

It took Zhou Dafu a lot of effort to buy this old guy. Naturally, he wants to be able to gain value quickly.

At present, Miaofeng Hall is busy renovating, and it is definitely too late to print a new chapter.

This gave the Zhou family a great opportunity.

If you can get the latest chapter back in front of Miaofeng Hall, you can get back the old customers you have lost.

Zhou Dafu folded the manuscript and held it in the palm of his hand as if he were holding a salt guide.

Don't look at it as a thin stack, but it can earn countless wealth.

He was in a hurry to offer the treasure, so he was naturally in a hurry, and even accidentally tripped over a stone and fell hard.

Somewhat embarrassed to get up, Zhou Dafu's first reaction was to read the manuscript.

Seeing that the manuscript was not damaged, this was a sigh of relief.

He hurried to Xiao Penglai, and when he saw that the master was listening to the play as usual, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Is this southern opera really so good? In his opinion, the Kunshan dialect is just like that.

If you don't understand it, you just don't think about it.

Wu Zi shook his head, and he walked quickly towards the pavilion where the old man was.

Zhou Youde has been really fascinated by listening to "The Legend of the Sword" these days, listening to the drama during the day and humming it at night.

He can sing a lot of lyrics, and even evaluate them.

For example, as soon as this "Night Run" came out, in his opinion, there were areas that needed to be improved.

"The autumn moon shines on the poor and the ancient, and the spring flowers bloom all over the building. The spring flowers are still blooming, and the autumn moon is growing every year. Only if you are like a dream, you must know that it is difficult to pass away. When you have to laugh and hold the cup, the face in the mirror is easy to change. ”

"A song sings to persuade the jade, and the wind and the moon are in the bag. Lianjin dropped out of the jade into a new Fu, moulting and moving the palace according to the old cavity. Slander, show loyalty, and mention the truth and the false Zhengang. Ancient and modern gains and losses, the rise and fall of the eyes, a clear dream. ”

At this moment, he was humming along with the tune, and when he saw Zhou Dafu coming, he asked impatiently: "Don't say anything important." ”

"Master Qiqi, the manuscript of the Journey to the West has been obtained!"

Zhou Dafudui said with a smile: "Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master!" ”

Zhou Youde was stunned.

"So easy to get?"

"The villain gave that Xu guy a lot of benefits."

Zhou Dafu explained: "Sir, please rest assured, there is no trace. ”

Zhou Youde took the manuscript and unfolded it, read it for a while, and then put it down.

He is not a fan of the book, and has little interest in the manuscript itself. All he cared about was how much money the manuscript would bring him.

"You're doing a good job."

Zhou Youde, who was very stingy, rarely praised the steward.

"But don't rush to print it first, press it first."

"This..."

Zhou Dafu looked embarrassed.

"Sir, why is that?"

"Are you really stupid or fake? The Miaofeng Hall on the front foot was burned, and the back foot of our weekly diary came out of the new chapter of the Journey to the West. Is it because you don't think you are sassy enough, so you bring a feces urine basin and pour it on your head? ”

was scolded by the head and face, and Zhou Dafu suddenly realized.

Rushing to make money is not such a way to make money.

"Dare to ask the master, when will it start selling?"

Zhou Dafu asked cautiously.

Zhou Youde said in his heart that he was really an idiot, he came to ask me what else I want you to do.

"If Miaofengtang doesn't dare to sell books in Hangzhou anymore, we can start selling!"

Zhou Dafu savored Zhou Youde's words, patted his head for a long time and said: "What the master means is that we took over this Journey to the West after the Xu family took the initiative to withdraw, so it is justified." After all, the author also has to eat, it's just a change of company to sell manuscripts. But... How could this Xu family be willing to give up easily? Besides, if they quit, the old man would be useless. We won't be able to get the latest draft. ”

Zhou Youde was about to faint.

"I only need to pick up the latest chapter, and then I can find someone to continue writing. As long as there is no deviation in the big picture, do you think someone can see it? ”

From the very beginning, Zhou Youde didn't think about digging up that Xu guy completely, but used him to get the manuscript of the next chapters of the Journey to the West.

It's okay to get some silver out of the process, after all, it's not a problem that can be solved with silver.

But he doesn't like to be controlled by others, and he can't accept being blackmailed.

So this guy from the Xu Family Bookstore is destined to be an outcast who will be kicked out after using it.

"What does the master mean to hire someone to continue to write the biography of Journey to the West?"

Zhou Dafu was surprised.

"The premise is that the Xu family doesn't dare to open a store in Hangzhou anymore."

Zhou Youde said simply and clearly.

As long as the Xu family no longer opens a bookstore. The Journey to the West is a manuscript only for the Zhou family.

As long as the quality of the previous chapters is guaranteed, let the old customers believe that Zhou's Journey to the West is orthodox and willing to pay money for it. When they get into the habit of reading, it will make no difference even if they write by someone else.

The author of the original book is far away in Dinghai, and there is no way to sell it, which will not pose a threat to the "fake" of the Zhou family at all.

Steal beams and change pillars, hide from the sky and cross the sea.

This is Zhou Youde's wishful thinking.

At this moment, Zhou Dafu threw himself to the ground for the five bodies that the master admired.

It's a great move step by step.

"You don't need me to teach you exactly how to do it, do you?"

"Don't worry, master, it's all wrapped up in the villain."

Zhou Dafu patted his chest and reassured.

...

...

Santai Mountain Farewell.

On the second floor of the bamboo building, Xu Wei sat on the rosewood Nanguan hat chair, listening to Xu Zhen tell the whole process of meeting people today, and secretly said in his heart that the fish had finally taken the bait.

"You said that it was a woman who connected with you, gave you a silver ticket, took the manuscript and left."

"Exactly. The villain gave her the manuscript as the shopkeeper had instructed him to do, and then left, and did not follow her. ”

Xu Zhen replied respectfully.

"You're doing a great job."

Xu Wei nodded: "You can go home and rest." If they come to you again, go according to the plan. ”

"The villain obeys."

Xu Zhen hugged her fists and retreated respectfully.

So far, everything is still expected by Xu Wei.

He expected that the people who opposed the Xu family would not show their true colors, but would cover up their eyes and ears under the pretense of others.

But it doesn't really matter.

He didn't need to know who it was now, as long as the other party reached out and he had already been hit.

The whole plan Xu Wei discussed with Xu Yan, and it was indeed seamless.

The wicked man who stretched out his hand would not know until the end that he was digging his own grave.

It's just a pity that Miaofengtang has to sacrifice a period of profit for this reason.

But it is fully necessary. If you don't find out who is behind the scenes, how can the Xu family do business in Hangzhou safely?
