Chapter VII

The hook caught up with Gu Bai.

"Childe, I think are pretty good. ”

Gu Baitou didn't reply, and walked to the door of the bookstore, "Don't think I don't know, stuffed you with broken silver." ”

The hook sticks out the tongue in the back.

"I say the same thing if you don't stuff the silver, people don't even mind being small. ”

Of course, more importantly, because are doing business, they make people feel like a spring breeze when they are dealing with people.

She also said that she would treat Hook well, and Hook thought it would be good to let her be the housewife.

"Did she really say that?" Gu Bai turned around.

The hook nodded.

"Childe, do you want to think about it? Shopkeeper Xu has a lot of money. "Hook suggestion.

"Dreaming! I thought she was a neighbor, and she actually wanted to fall in love with me. ”

Gu Bai warned Hook, "In addition to buying wine in the future, you are forbidden to go to her wine shop." ”

"Oh. Hook reluctantly responded, "Childe, be careful that you can't marry a lady in the future." ”

"Why are you the same as Xie Changan, he is blind and can't see the handsomeness of my son, and you are also blind?"

"I look in the mirror every day, and then I look at other people, and everyone is handsome, everyone is good-looking. The hook stepped forward to open the door.

Gu Bai was very pleased, "Yes, our master and servant have the same advantages, and they are both self-aware. ”

The hook rolls its eyes.

She tore off a piece of paper from the door.

This piece of paper has been exposed to the wind and sun for a long time, and the handwriting on it is no longer very clear.

Still, the hook knows what is written on it.

That was when they left the book house and went to Nanshan Temple to copy the book, Gu Bai wrote it by himself and pasted it on it:

Our store found my brother's temporary storage friend's books, and now I have retrieved them.

When I go out today, after returning from the rest of the month, the book will be returned to its original owner.

As a bookship owner and a bookhouse owner, my main daily work is to go out to collect books, ask for books, copy books, sell books, find books and exchange books.

Collecting books, collecting old books, unique books, strange books, secret books and so on.

Some folk talents have written their crafts and experiences into books, which are also the main collections of book ships.

Asking for books is to ask for books from Confucians, celebrities, or children of families, and to copy their poems and articles, collect them into books, and then sell them.

Such books sell well.

However, Gu Bai's background is humble, and he can't make friends with such a person.

Book search and book exchange is to find the books they need for collectors according to their needs, or help them exchange books.

The book ship owner is the equivalent of a tooth man in this middle.

In the past, when the Gu family ran a bookstore, Gu Bai was responsible for copying books and running a bookstore.

His brother rowed a boat to collect books, ask for books, and search for books.

After the Gu family was killed, Gu Bai, who couldn't find the slightest clue, thought that the killing of the Gu family might have something to do with the book.

So, a month ago, he posted such a notice.

Gu Bai's move was also a last resort, because with his brother being killed, the book of the book boat was gone.

There are many books that have been requested, there are also books that need to be copied, and there is even no shortage of unique and strange books to be exchanged.

This burning, the loss is great.

Although many people sympathize with the Gu family's misfortune, they still have to pay compensation.

As soon as Gu Bai's notice came out, it was conceivable how many real creditors would come to the door every day.

This is also the reason why Gu Bai hid in the mountain temple and did not return for a long time.

The hook opened the door, and the dust fell in a puff of dust, and when she saw the inside of the study room thoroughly, she let out a voice of surprise.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Bai took a step forward and saw that the inside of the bookstore had been turned upside down, the bookshelves were scattered, and the books were thrown everywhere.

"Yes, it's been robbed!" said Hook in surprise.

Gu Bai's brows furrowed slightly, his face was gloomy, and he didn't say anything,

But when he entered, his brows furrowed, "If the thief is ruled out, it seems that it may really be related to the book." ”

This is the only useful clue he has come up with after ruling out all possibilities in the past six months.

Gu Bai asked Hook to report the case.

He took up his pen and wrote another notice:

The book house was stolen, and my brother's temporary books were all unexpected.

In this way, the creditors attracted by Gu Bai's previous notice can go back again.

As for the compensation, Gu Bai had already discussed it with them, there were books to compensate for books, and there were no books to compensate for silver.

Fortunately, Brother Gu Bai has never befriended any Confucian magnates, otherwise it would really not be something that silver can explain to the past.

Hook quickly returned from the report.

Contrary to Gu Bai's expectations, among the errands following him, Wang Shouyi was the leader.

"Lao Wang, when we were separated just now, you couldn't smile from ear to ear, why are you depressed now?"

Gu Bai was puzzled, "Did you go home and find that your lady had stolen someone?"

"I have never taken a wife. ”

"That's when you stole someone else and got caught. ”

Wang Shouyi raised his head, "No, I'm ashamed." ”

It turned out that not only Gu Bai felt ridiculous, but the county magistrate of the county government also felt very ridiculous after hearing Wang Shouyi's report, and reprimanded him.

"Tell me, what's the?" Wang Shouyi looked aggrieved.

"You have a lot of places, such as seeing people in life and corpses in death. Just by relying on your nonsense, there will be ghosts if you can close the case. ”

The county magistrate can be fooled, and the relatives of the deceased can't be fooled.

"A bunch of grave robbers, what's there to fool around. ”

Wang Shouyi muttered and swept around the bookstore, "Are you a thief?"

"Nonsense, don't be a thief, I'll report something. ”

"You're really not polite to talk to the poor master. ”

Although the errand is a lowly status, it is in the eyes of the officials, in the people, because of the power, they still have a bit of status.

Gu Bai changed it when he knew his mistakes, "Your IQ often makes me forget to be polite, I'm really sorry." ”

He poured a glass of plum wine, "My case will trouble Lao Wang." ”

Wang Shouyi sat down to drink and asked his subordinates to search the bookstore.

First, to see what traces the thief left, and secondly, to see where the thief came in.

Later, there were also servants who went to inquire about the people around them to see if any suspicious people had come.

"Don't be hopeful, though. Wang Shouyi persuaded Gu Bai.

This kind of theft can be encountered eight times a day, "unless the blind cat meets the dead mouse, it really can't be solved." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Shouyi even said more than a dozen "blind", "The son is not around, and he is really comfortable to speak." ”

Gu Bai ignored him.

He looked out of the library and saw that while the servants were busy, there were already people watching outside.

It won't be long before it reaches the ears of the thief.

If you have never stolen a book, but if you lose it, the thief will be curious and will inevitably come to the bookstore again.

When the time comes, Gu Bai can just catch him.

"Hey. Wang Shouyi called Gu Bai's attention, "You say, where can I find the corpse?"

Maybe it was eaten by the snake demon and the old monk Fahai.

"There must be bones when they die, not to mention more than a hundred people, do you think the snake demon and the old monk ate them overnight?"

Gu Bai nodded at him.

"It makes sense, then where can I go to find the corpse, do I go to the West Lake to find the snake demon. ”

"That's a good dare, if you get into his belly, maybe the truth will be revealed. Gu Bai nodded.

"Makes sense, I..."

Wang Shouyi just got up and sat down again after nodding, "I'm sick, I'm going to find the snake demon, I'm tired of it." ”

"Actually, you still have a place to go. Gu Bai said without joking.

"Where?"

"Under the West Lake Pagoda. ”

If you find the tomb, all the mystery will be solved.
