Chapter Seventy-Four: Plundering into the Mansion
Fifty dollars, a ridiculous price, since Li Su invented movable type printing, Zhao shopkeeper made several sets of templates, there are many literati in Chang'an City, and there are several times a day to print books.
Smashing the store and losing money is a very simple thing, Li Su didn't expect it to become tortuous and bizarre.
Who is going to buy movable type printing?
The first suspect that popped up in Li Su's mind was the Cheng family, and he couldn't help but suspect that this matter was too coincidental.
The shopkeeper Zhao was full of hatred, and said firmly: "I'm afraid this thing is really done by the Lu Guo Mansion, Cheng Xiao Gong will find a reason to smash the shop, and then call the steward of the house to buy printing after smashing it, this matter is inconvenient for Cheng Xiao Gong to say, if he says a bad reputation, the house steward will say that it will be easy, if the matter spreads in the future, the Lu Guo Mansion will only send the steward to the official office, and it will have nothing to do with the Lu Guo Mansion......"
is very logical reasoning, Li Su also feels very reasonable, after all, it is indeed Cheng Chumo who smashed the store.
However, before there is conclusive evidence, Li Su still doesn't want to believe that the Cheng family can do this kind of thing, and the Cheng Yanjin and Cheng Chumo he know are also bright and upright men, if they really want movable type printing, Cheng Yanjin may ride a fast horse, holding a Xuanhua big plate axe, wow, yay, screaming, rushing into the store, without saying a word, snatching the movable type template and leaving, and then the next day, the shop under the name of the Cheng family began to undertake all the printing business......
This is the real style of the Cheng family, the robbery is above board, putting on a ruffian face, clearly telling the world, I just robbed, and I will rob it in the future, what's the matter?
Now it's smashing the store again, and after smashing it, I threw some money out to buy it, and the mysterious and mysterious look is unsightly, which is very different from the style of the Cheng family, whether it is the Cheng family who bought printing or not, Li Su can only put a question mark in his heart.
"I still have to find the Cheng family." Li Su sighed, there is no way, now only Cheng Chumo is the one who really comes forward, and he can only look for him.
…………
…………
Li Su was not in a hurry to find Cheng Chumo.
His friendship with Cheng Chumo must not be used as a bargaining chip, after all, it is very fragile, a grass people pose as a teacher to the powerful family, and this powerful family is a well-known bully family in Chang'an City, if he really does this, Li Su may die very happily, painfully and happily.
I bought a stack of paper and ink in the West Market, and after Li Su left Chang'an and returned home, he closed the door and wrote and painted alone, not knowing what he was busy with.
The next day, a refreshed Li Su was just about to enter Chang'an City again, but a guy from the scholar's shop came to Taiping Village with an anxious face and told Li Su bad news.
After Zhao's shopkeeper went home last night, he was taken to prison by the officials of Chang'an County, and the charges were very vague, saying that he was involved in a case of the murder of a merchant in Xishi in previous years.
Li Su was stunned for a long time.
He didn't expect the people behind him to start so quickly, from smashing the store, to giving money, and finally taking people to prison, it was all something that happened in one day.
Li Su, who looked solemn, hurriedly followed his man into Chang'an City.
…………
The Cheng family lives in the south of Zhuque Street, the house is very large, covers an area of dozens of acres, is very domineering and is located on the side of Zhuque Street, even the gate is three zhang wider than other people's houses, there is a black background gold plaque hanging on the lintel, it is Li Shimin's imperial pen personally inscribed "the mansion of the Lu Guo". Two rows of sergeants stood at the door, setting off the mansion more and more majestic and solemn.
Li Suyuan stood at the other end of the street, looking at the Cheng family's mansion like a giant beast, at this time he realized that this was the real powerful family, the one wearing armor, smiling and smiling like a neighbor's uncle, Cheng Biting Jin, who was beaten by his father, and rode a horse to Taiping Village to punch and kick a ginkgo tree, looking easy-going, but they were still real magnates.
Quietly staring at the gate of Cheng's Mansion, Li Su sighed secretly.
His own strength is still too small, as small as a speck of dust, and the powerful can completely erase him with a single flick.
Li Su didn't know whether this matter had anything to do with the Cheng family, but he could only find Cheng Chumo, and he could only bet that the Cheng family's father and son would not do such a thing, so Li Su decided to test it first, if Cheng Chumo revealed a trace of the meaning that this matter was related to the Cheng family, Li Su immediately sent the secret recipe of movable type printing with both hands, and left respectfully, never touching this business again.
As for the shopkeeper Zhao in the prison, I believe that people will not kill him after taking the secret recipe, and they will release him soon.
Sitting in the shade of a big tree opposite Cheng's house, Li Su stared at the gate of Cheng's house without blinking, watching intently everyone who came in and out of Cheng's house.
This sitting has been more than two hours, and the little grandfather of the Cheng family is very peaceful today, and he doesn't seem to have the intention of going out to do evil.
Li Su is very patient, he has full confidence in Cheng Xiaogong, this guy will definitely go out to do evil, either into the Qing/Lou or out of the city for a safari, what is the point of living without doing these things?
Waited for another hour, sure enough, the side door of Cheng's mansion opened, and the subordinate led a horse out and waited next to the stone lion at the door.
Li Su hurriedly came out from under the shade of the tree and stopped in front of Cheng Chumo's horse, Cheng Chumo was startled and hurriedly reined in the horse, and the sergeants at the gate of Cheng's mansion scolded Li Su and surrounded him.
"Get away! This is my brother. Cheng Chu shouted silently, and the sergeants retreated.
Cheng Chumo's face was happy, turned over and dismounted and laughed: "It's really rare today, I actually saw you at the door of the house, don't say much, go, follow me into the door, have a banquet, and the wine is full!" ”
Without saying a word, grabbing Li Su's arm and walking towards the house, Li Su staggered and struggled, blushing and hurriedly said: "Little grandfather, slow down, I'm here to reason with you today......"
"Wha...... Theory is a fart, it's not too late to drink it first and then theorize, don't be hypocritical. Cheng Chumo fully inherited his father's style, carried Li Su on his shoulders, and happily carried Li Su into the door like a pig.
Li Su was carried on his shoulders, watching himself being robbed of Cheng's home, helplessly watching the door of Cheng's house slamming shut, and Cheng Chumo's smug shout came from his ears: "Come on, call all my brothers, have a banquet in the house, come to know my newly recognized brothers, can be civil and martial arts and give advice to His Majesty, he is a good man!" Go, tell someone to go out of the city to Taiping Village, and tell the Li family, Li Su must be drunk today, the Cheng family is a guest, and he won't go back! ”
