Chapter 82: Antecedents and Consequences
Who played the idea of printing, Li Su suspected many people, including the Cheng family, Cheng Yanjin's enemies, princes, princesses, and even the emperor Xià were the objects of his suspicions.
But he really didn't expect it to be the Cui family, sometimes people's thinking will lie to themselves, and their minds are stuffed with paste everywhere and can't figure it out, once the answer is in front of him, the whole process suddenly becomes clear, whether it is the motive, the means, or the result, it is meticulous and clear.
Li Su has now seen the answer, and the whole process has been figured out.
No wonder Cheng Chumo said that he couldn't check it, he couldn't check it, he checked it back and forth, and he found his uncle's house, how could he still check it?
From the very beginning, Cheng Chumo was used as a gunman.
The Cui family must have known about the prosperous business of the study, this is not a secret, Cheng Chumo's fiery temper The Cui family must know better, let a hot-tempered and illustrious little grandfather go to line up, there will definitely be an accident, and smashing the store is also inevitable, Cheng Chumo smashed the store, the deterrent effect was achieved, and the Cui family sent someone to throw fifty yuan to buy printing, and the shopkeeper Zhao did not agree, it doesn't matter, the Cui family still has a trick.
So the shopkeeper Zhao went to prison, and soon forced a confession of the secret recipe of printing, which is the most valuable thing, and he has done so many things before and after, and this is what the Cui family wants.
The powerful secretly bullied the civilians, it was not a big deal, the things were in hand, and the shopkeeper Zhao squatted in the prison for a year or two or was exiled thousands of miles away, and the whole thing went smoothly without leaving any trouble.
However, the Cui family didn't expect that there would be one more Li Su in this matter, and Li Su was the most critical part of the whole thing, and it was also a link that the Cui family completely ignored.
Li Su is not only the inventor of movable type printing, but also a friend of Cheng Chumo, and the son-in-law of the Cui family, Cheng Yanjin, also admires him a little, and even the current majesty and the prime minister are paying attention to him.
Because of this person completely ignored by the Cui family, what happened later gradually fell out of the Cui family's control.
The matter was broken, Cheng Biting Jin was furious, leading the six bully sons to provoke right and wrong, and also rolling in the court, making the matter bigger and bigger, and finally found out from the source, found out that Feng Yilang's wife, and grabbed something, the Cui family didn't do much in the first place, and from that lady, the Cheng family naturally quickly found the Cui family.
The matter was exposed, and he couldn't hide it, Cheng Biting Jin was also shrewd, because of his wife's face, he didn't directly attack the Cui family, but he made his eldest son Cheng Chumo rush to Taiping Village early in the morning to apologize to Li Su.
This gesture came out, and the Cui family couldn't sit still, this trick was more of a slap in the face than pointing at the nose and scolding, and he used someone else's son as a gunman, and the mistake was committed by the Cui family, but the person who was used came to apologize on behalf of the Cui family, as a thousand-year-old gate valve, this matter spread out so that other prominent families in the world would see the Cui family? How many years does it have to make the Cui family disgusting?
The Cui family knew that they couldn't hold on if they didn't come forward anymore, and the Cheng family was going to turn their faces, not only that, but they also found out the details of Li Su, a very ordinary farmer, ordinary and mediocre for more than ten years, until a few months ago, as if he had been enlightened by immortals, this farmer's boy was shining, and he was so bright that he couldn't help but also write poems, and he could kill people to save the princess, and finally he also offered a national policy of pushing grace to the imperial court, so that the current majesty Xià and Fang Xiang did not hesitate to visit in person......
The Cui family felt more and more that the situation was out of control, this Li Su was not simple, he was only fifteen years old and became friends with the Lu Guogong Mansion, and was concerned by His Majesty and the Prime Minister, and the Cui family could not predict where Li Su would go in ten years.
For the gate valve of the millennium family, a peasant boy is insignificant, but there is more royal pressure and pressure from the Cheng family in this matter, which has to make the Cui family pay attention.
Therefore, less than an hour after Cheng Chumo left Taiping Village, Cui Houan appeared in front of Li Su with a sincere attitude and a cordial smile.
…………
Li Su naturally didn't know about the secret war between the big families, he only knew that now that the truth had come out, he finally had an explanation.
"Misunderstanding, a qiē is really a misunderstanding, don't hide it from Li Gongzi, the Cui family really wants printing, the little grandfather smashed the shop, the Cui family thought that the shopkeeper of the study shop should not be able to do this business, so he gave him fifty yuan to buy printing, I didn't dare to be cheeky and said that it was a good intention, somewhat suspected of taking advantage of the fire to rob, but the Cui family really didn't have bad intentions, and later the shopkeeper Zhao was imprisoned, and there was a verbal conflict with the Cui family at that time, I wanted to lock him up for a few days, and I ......taught him a lesson."
Cui Hou'an's explanation was very sincere, his kind expression was mixed with a little grievance, there was no high-ranking family at all, and his tone of voice was even like a victim who was wronged.
Li Su smiled even sweeter, language, it's really an art, the same thing, black is said to be white, it works logically, and the credibility is equally high, outsiders really can't tell who is right and who is wrong after listening to it, and the truth is confused like this.
Forget it, the gate valve can't be provoked, at least not a peasant boy can afford to provoke, Li Shimin has to weigh it first if he wants to provoke it.
Li Su hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Mr. Cui's words are serious, it is indeed a misunderstanding, and the kid didn't take it to heart, it's good to talk about it, and Mr. Cui will go on a trip in person, the kid is really guilty." ”
Cui Houan is very satisfied with Li Su's attitude, the Cui family is indeed here to apologize, but there is a limit to the apology, especially the one who is apologized, and he can't kick his nose in the face, and Li Su's attitude at the moment is obviously very much in line with Cui Houan's intentions.
Clapping his hands, the tarpaulins on the two carriages behind Cui Hou'an were lifted by the coachman, and they were filled with camphor wood boxes one after another, and the boxes were very high, like two hills.
Cui Houan said with a smile: "Although it is a misunderstanding, after all, this matter is the Cui family's mistake, and if you do something wrong, you have to have an expression, the box of the carriage is full of money, a thousand yuan, it can be regarded as the Cui family's heart for Li Gongzi, and I hope that Gongzi will not give up." ”
Li Su's eyes widened in surprise, and he stared blankly at the boxes in front of him, watching the coachman move the boxes off the carriage one by one and pile them outside the courtyard of the Li family.
Cui Houan said with a smile: "The misunderstanding has been revealed, this thousand guan is considered an apology, but the movable type printing created by Li Gongzi is really a good thing, and the last time he gave fifty guan money, it was indeed the Cui family who bullied people, if Li Gongzi is interested, the Cui family is willing to buy movable type printing with three thousand guan, what does Gongzi think?" ”
Li Su's eyelids jumped, and he felt that the smile on his face was getting stiffer and stiffer.
Selling movable type printing, Li Su doesn't mind, for him, it doesn't matter who takes it, anyway, this thing has already appeared, and sooner or later the world will know about it, and if you sell it, you can get 3,000 yuan, which is a windfall for Li Su.
But the Cui family's money ...... Is it really that easy to take?
took this money, whether he wanted it or not, he could only be tied to the boat of the Cui family from now on, three thousand yuan, and it was not only the printing press that was sold, but also himself.
Cui Houan looked at Li Su with a smile, he was very patient, he didn't look impatient at all, and waited quietly for Li Su's answer.
Li Su felt bitter in his heart, raised his head and sighed silently.
If it was Li Shimin who spent 3,000 yuan to buy him, he would definitely be so excited that he agreed without hesitation, and vowed to never block Li Tang's rivers and mountains from now on, and it was not impossible to negotiate with an eight-percent discount, but a seven-fold discount would not work, and he had to turn his face......
The two were silent for a long time, and Cui Houan finally became a little impatient, and said with a smile: "Li Gongzi, what do you think?" ”
Li Su's heart was turned around, and he definitely couldn't agree to work for the Cui family, but refusing to do so in person was afraid that the Cui family would hold a grudge, which would undoubtedly cause disaster in the future and offend the gate valve family...... No, it was like strangling a handsome little baby in swaddling clothes, without much effort.
