Chapter 110: Difficulty
The Terracotta Division of the Five Cities in Beijing is in charge of public security matters such as patrols, theft, and fire bans, and the Guozijian is located in Dongcheng and is under the jurisdiction of the Dongcheng Terracotta Division.
Xin Yu heard a strong malice in the tone of the leading official, and his face was still calm: "Dare to ask the poor master, what happened to our bookstore?" Why did you clean up "Painted Skin"? ”
One of the people who followed behind the leader shouted: "Don't shout indiscriminately, this is our Deputy Commander Han!" ”
"Lord Han." Xin Yu politely changed his name.
Deputy Commander Han did not soften his attitude because of Xin Yu's politeness, and said with a stiff face: "Your bookstore spread demon books, causing panic in the people of the capital, and there are people who burn books everywhere, causing more than a dozen fires in just two days, and a fire last night caused casualties. In order to restore the stability of the capital, these demon books must be confiscated, and I hope that Miss Kou will cooperate. ”
Xin Yu raised her eyebrows when she heard the end.
She reported that she was the owner of the bookstore, but the other party called her Miss Kou, and it seemed that she knew Miss Kou's deeds. Let's not talk about the identity of Miss Kou's niece of Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, not long after the matter of saving the eldest princess's beloved daughter, the other party is menacing, and he has no scruples about this, I'm afraid it's not as simple as simply maintaining law and order.
People who are bewitched by rumors burn books and cause fires, and whether the bookstore will be in trouble depends entirely on what the people of the Terracotta Division think. said that it has nothing to do, the bookstore is originally a disaster, and if you insist that it is related, you can also find trouble. The people of the Terracotta Division ignore the connections behind Miss Kou and seem to enforce the law impartially, but in fact, it just shows that there is a problem.
The movement made by the Terracotta Division had already caused countless people to watch the excitement, and Xin Yu heard a lively discussion.
"Did you hear that, "Painted Skin" is a demon book!"
"It's really scary, I asked my kid to burn the book yesterday, but the stinky boy didn't listen."
……
"Miss Kou, what are you waiting for, hurry up and clean up the demon book, if we wait for us to do it, it won't be good if we break something." Deputy Commander Han coldly urged.
Xin Yu and Deputy Commander Han's cold eyes met, and their voices raised slightly: ""Painted Skin" is just a very ordinary ghost story, if there is anything unusual, it is probably because it is very good-looking, so there is a grand occasion that almost everyone who loves to read books has a copy. Thousands of copies of "Painted Skin" have been sold, and if it is true that there will be evil spirits coming out of the book to harm people, will this evil spirit be too slow? ”
When the people who watched the excitement heard it, they nodded subconsciously.
It's a little reasonable, the female ghost in "Painted Skin" is so powerful, she can't even stop the dust of the Taoist priest, if she really wants to run out of the book and harm people, she won't just dig out one person's heart, right?
Deputy Commander Han sneered: "Miss Kou is really able to speak!" ”
"The people's daughter is just speaking from her heart."
"Anyway, it's a fact that 'Painted Skin' has caused these troubles, and the book must be paid." Deputy Commander Han stared at the calm girl, "Does Miss Kou want to rebel against the government?" ”
"The folk girl didn't dare. The folk girl understands Lord Han's worries, but there is no need to clean up the book. ”
Deputy Commander Han raised his eyebrows, waiting to see how the girl in front of him shirked.
Xin Yu smiled: "Because "Painted Skin" is so popular, it has long been sold out. ”
"Sold out?" Deputy Commander Han was stunned, he never expected this result.
On the side, Liu Zhou boldly interjected: "We don't have a copy of "Painted Skin" in our bookstore. ”
I used to feel distressed and worried that the book was about to be sold out, but I never expected that one day I would be so comfortable when I said that I haunted the book!
In the crowd, someone's voice sounded: "Yes, yesterday my friends and I went to buy "Painted Skin" and didn't buy it, so I bought a book of poems casually, and I fell asleep when I went back." ”
Deputy Commander Han came back to his senses and looked at the girl with a smile on the corner of his lips, feeling an indescribable grievance.
Sold out so coincidentally?
"You guys go check it out." Deputy Commander Han instructed his subordinates.
Several of his subordinates walked quickly into the bookstore to inspect it, and walked out empty-handed, and one of them replied, "My lord, I didn't find 'Painted Skin' on the shelf." ”
Deputy Commander Han stared at Xin Yu with burning eyes: "Behind your bookstore is the printing shop, right?" ”
Xin Yu heard what the other party meant, and said unhurriedly: "I didn't stop printing books before, the craftsmen worked very hard, and they stopped to rest a few days ago, and there was no printed "Painted Skin" in the printing workshop. ”
"Isn't it a coincidence that the finished product is sold out and the printing has stopped?"
Xin Yu smiled: "That's true. For folk girls, although making money is important, it can't tire people out. ”
"Check it out!" Deputy Commander Han didn't believe it at all, and raised his chin at his subordinates.
Shopkeeper Hu was worried that these officials were on a rampage and deliberately sabotage, so he glanced at Xin Yu anxiously, saw that she nodded slightly, and hurriedly said: "Xiaomin will lead the way for the masters." ”
Several officials went straight to the printing shop, jumped from one hall to another, and grabbed the paper spread on the table to inspect it.
The craftsmen were at a loss and did not dare to say a word.
Shopkeeper Hu looked at the messed up paper, distressed and happy.
Fortunately, these books are generally not printed in large quantities, and even if they are ruined by these people, the loss is not large. If it was piled up with "Painted Skin" like a few days ago, the shopkeeper Hu shuddered and didn't dare to think about it at all.
With such a destructive inspection, several officials sent out to report their lives.
"My lord, it's not 'Painted Skin' that the Printing Workshop is printing."
Getting this answer, Deputy Commander Han looked at Xin Yu with a heavy expression.
And Xin Yu's eyes flashed slightly, and a picture suddenly appeared in front of him.
The craftsmen came out with a large box, and one of the craftsmen suddenly stumbled, and even the bookboard contained in the box slammed into Deputy Commander Han.
"If you don't have a printed booklet, there's always a stereotype of "Painted Skin", right?" Deputy Commander Han Liang Liang asked.
Xin Yu came back to his senses and did not deny it: "Naturally, there is." ”
The other party really rushed to kill everything, didn't find the book, and put on a stereotypical idea.
"These stereotypes are all hidden dangers, let you craftsmen move out the stereotypes, and they must be openly destroyed today!"
"It's too much!" Liu Zhou couldn't help but shout.
Shopkeeper Hu was also so angry that his face turned pale.
Those stereotypes are all the hard work of the bookstore, and they are carved out by craftsmen one by one, and these dog officials are really too deceitful.
Deputy Commander Han glanced at Liu Zhou and asked Xin Yu coldly: "What, Miss Kou doesn't want to cooperate?" ”
The girl who had been wearing a polite smile on her face finally had a cold face: "Anyone who opens a bookstore knows that the bookboard is the foundation of a bookstore. Lord Han wants to destroy the foundation of my bookstore just because of some rumors, do you want me to cooperate with a smile? ”
"Then Miss Kou is going against my Soldiers and Horses?"
Xin Yu sneered: "The folk girl doesn't dare." Lord Han insists on this, so let's move the bookboard out and destroy it by myself, let me use my own people to destroy my own foundation, and the people can't do it! ”
The loss of the bookboard of "Painted Skin" can still be afforded, if she doesn't see that picture, she doesn't mind cooperating well, and get out of here with these wolf dogs. But Deputy Commander Han didn't know the consequences when he was smashed by such a heavy box, and she couldn't let the craftsman get into trouble.
Let's let Deputy Commander Han's men move it.
