After He Qingxiao said this, she was ready to be dissatisfied with the girl opposite.

But Xin Yu's face did not change: "I have a proposal." ”

"Miss Kou, please speak."

"Mr. Songling may not come to me in the short term, if you wait a month or two before reporting to Jinshang, is it a little late?" Xin Yu noticed the change in He Qingxiao's expression, "I think I'm just asking on a whim, maybe I won't take it to heart when I turn my head." Maybe it will be enough for Lord He to report the information he has received from me about Mr. Songling? ”

He Qingxiao raised her eyebrows slightly.

Miss Kou, is this asking him to fool the emperor?

Well, it's not impossible.

"Thank you, Miss Kou, for reminding me."

Xin Yu's heart moved slightly.

This Lord He doesn't seem to be so obedient to the emperor.

Her bookstore is located near Guozijian, and Lord He often comes to visit, and it is difficult to bypass the person in front of her if she wants to plan something, and what she said just now was a temptation.

A courtier who is not so stupid and loyal, it is a good thing for her.

Xin Yu immediately looked at He Qingxiao's eyes more gently, so Liu Zhou was surprised to find that Master He had bought books again.

Of course, this time the young man's shock was only in his heart, but the movements of his hands were not slow. On the contrary, Xin Yu stared at Liu Zhou's action of collecting money, thinking about Duan Yunlang's words, he was a little unbearable.

He Qingxiao brought the new travelogue back to the Hou Mansion, which caused Aunt Gui to speculate for a while.

"Master Hou likes to buy books lately."

"Well, these travelogues are worth reading again and again."

He Qingxiao's explanation failed to convince Aunt Gui.

This kid has always been a lover of reading, but he rarely buys books and comes back frequently, so why is he suddenly willing to spend money?

Aunt Gui secretly remembered the source of the seal on the downstream note: Qingsong Bookstore.

It seems that I am looking for a chance to visit this bookstore.

He Qingxiao soon entered the palace to see Emperor Xingyuan.

"Back to Your Majesty, Mr. Songling is a young man, who only came to the capital a few months ago, is a withdrawn person, hardly interacts with people, and currently only writes books for Qingsong Bookstore."

"It's a young man." After listening to He Qingxiao's report, Emperor Xingyuan didn't ask any more.

As an emperor, I have been interested in a book writer for a long time.

However, when He Qingxiao left, Emperor Xingyuan still explained to the great eunuch Sun Yan: "In the future, this Mr. Songling will have new books, buy them for me to see." ”

Sun Yan thought about the big black circles under the emperor's eyes that day, and he wanted to disobey the yang and the yin, but he didn't dare, so he turned around and ordered: "Qingsong Bookstore will publish new books again, and report them in time." ”

Qingsong Bookstore didn't know anything about these movements in the palace, and now the people in the entire bookstore began to worry about what to do if this batch of "Painted Skins" was sold out.

Shopkeeper Hu faced Xin Yu countless times and stopped, so anxious that his beard fell out a lot.

Xin Yu was afraid of the old shopkeeper, so he proposed: "In addition to "Painted Skin", there are other books that sell well, so I will print some more." When "Painted Skin" is sold out, the customers who come to buy it think that they are coming, so maybe they will buy another copy by the way and take it away. ”

Shopkeeper Hu couldn't cry or laugh.

The owner is so smart, why doesn't he want to sell "Painted Skin"?

Xin Yu was actually thinking that maybe she was too cautious.

Concubine Shu lost her temper, whether it would hurt the bookstore is just a guess. Therefore, she also set a time, and if she is okay for more than half a month, it should be no longer affected for the time being.

Early this morning, Duan Yunlang rushed over, panting and said, "Cousin, have you heard, something happened to our national eunuch!" ”

"Cousin said slowly, what's wrong?"

"There was a prisoner who died at the gate, disemboweled, and his heart was gone!"

When Xin Yu heard it, her first reaction was "Painted Skin".

"When?"

"I found it early in the morning, and I almost scared the gatekeeper half to death. Now that a lot of students are running out to see the excitement, I can't stop it, so I took the opportunity to sneak out to find you. ”

"So, the body is still there?"

"Yes. However, the prisoner ordered people to guard and not to approach, and they had already sent someone to report to the official. Cousin, I won't tell you, I have to go back. ”

I've only seen half of it, and I don't know which class student the accident is.

"Cousin, I'll go with you to have a look."

Duan Yunlang was stunned for a moment, and quickly agreed.

On the way to the two together, Xin Yu tentatively asked Duan Yunlang why he thought of telling her for the first time.

Duan Yunlang scratched his head: "Everyone is talking about the deceased being taken out, like the evil ghost in "Painted Skin" asking for his life!" Meng Fei said it would be better to talk to you—"

"Meng Fei?"

"He is in the same school as me, and his grandfather is our sacrificial wine."

Xin Yu had a slight impression of the phoenix-eyed boy.

"Meng Fei just loves to think a lot, he reads the books of sages, who would believe that the evil ghost asks for his life is such a ridiculous thing."

"Then why did my cousin come to tell me?"

"Since Meng Fei said so, it's time to share this scary thing with my cousin."

While speaking, the Guozijian had arrived, and a middle-aged man in a long shirt was holding back his face and shouting: "All the prisoners will immediately go back to the school and wait for the roll call, and those who violate it will be withdrawn from the school!" ”

Duan Yunlang's face changed: "Cousin, I'll go in first!" ”

Without waiting for Xin Yu's reaction, the boy disappeared without a trace.

Xin Yu looked around, although the number of students who came out to see the excitement was decreasing, there were more and more people who heard the wind and came to see the excitement.

As for the deceased, apparently not even a single hair could be seen.

At this time, a team of officers arrived.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

The crowd quickly split up one way, and the official errand squeezed in.

I don't know how long it took, Xin Yu heard a discussion from the person who had seized the advantageous position.

"How did you carry it in?"

"It is said that the whole school will be called to gather the teachers and students of the whole school, and all the schools that have been named less will be recognized as corpses."

……

Although the gate of the Guozijian was closed, the people gathered in front of the gate did not mean to decrease. Xin Yu knew that the investigation of the identity of the deceased would not be completed soon, so she silently turned around and left, returning to Qingsong Bookstore.

Shopkeeper Hu was standing at the door looking in the direction of Guozijian, and when he saw Xin Yu coming back, he immediately asked, "Dongjia, is there really an accident with the prisoner?" ”

Xin Yu nodded.

"How could such a thing happen to the good end!" Shopkeeper Hu thought that most of those prisoners were young people in their teens and twenties, and sighed heavily.

Bad things spread thousands of miles, not to mention that it happened in a place like Guozijian, on this day, I don't know how many people with children and grandchildren who are studying in Guozijian ran to inquire, so as to confirm that it was not their own family members who had an accident.

By the next day, the identity of the deceased had not yet been ascertained, and a rumor spread.

The reason why the prisoner was killed was because he bought "Painted Skin", and the evil ghost came out of the script and poached the prisoner's heart.

As soon as this statement spread, many timid people were scared and quickly burned the book.

"Nonsense, pure nonsense!" Shopkeeper Hu was so angry that his beard curled, "How can these people believe such a ridiculous statement!" ”

On the side, Liu Zhou's expression was complicated.

To tell the truth, after reading "The Story of Peony", he went to the flower market to see a circle of peonies, thinking that he might be able to turn into a peony fairy and be his daughter-in-law after carefully raising it.

However, the price of peonies is high, so I give up.
