Emperor Xingyuan was an emperor who was diligent in government affairs, no, it should be said that he was too diligent, so that the ministers always had the anxiety that the emperor did not know when he would cancel all his vacations. Maybe it's just that at this age, I still work hard to use my brain, and my brain is still bright, although I don't have much time to set foot in the harem, and I silently remember the little habits of these concubines.

For example, Concubine Shu was much gentler than usual when she was preparing to file a complaint.

Emperor Xingyuan did not expose it, sat comfortably on the chair, and picked up the tea cup offered by the palace maid.

The tea in the palace is naturally the best, and Emperor Xingyuan drank it slowly, responding to Concubine Shu's words.

Concubine Shu frowned secretly.

She is not stupid, and it can be seen whether a man listens to a woman's words. The emperor's enthusiasm in facing her is not as high as that of the minister, but fortunately, it is comforting that the emperor is also like this in the face of other concubines.

This made Concubine Shu inevitably think of Empress Xin again.

Back then, these people were like rats in the gutter, hiding in Yiyuan and not even seeing the light, they could only quietly watch the woman with infinite scenery, and even asked the emperor to coax gently. But why, her brother is also a minister of the dragon, and he has made great contributions to the laying down of this country. And that woman, I heard that before marrying the emperor, she was just a fugitive girl who didn't know her origin.

Countless memories have made Concubine Shu have already cultivated quietly, whether it is the disgust for Queen Xin or the joy of losing Queen Xin, Concubine Shu has been safely hidden in her heart.

She lifted the teapot and added tea for Emperor Xingyuan, and finally got to the point: "That day, Father-in-law Sun took away the notebook, and the concubine sent someone to buy it, but I didn't expect to hear about something very scary."

Emperor Xingyuan looked interested.

Continuing the practice of the previous dynasty, all those sentenced to death had to be reported to the next level, and finally approved by the emperor. But this is not to say that all the emperors who sentenced to death will read the eucalyptus scrolls, in fact, what the emperor has to do is to take the list of death row prisoners handed over by the minister and sketch them with a red pen.

And Emperor Xingyuan was an energetic founding emperor, he not only had to look at the list of prisoners, but also looked at eucalyptus scrolls, especially eucalyptus that happened in the capital. Mr. Ping'an's killing of a beggar has a bad impact, and there is no doubt that he will be sentenced to death, and it is very likely that Emperor Xingyuan will see it when the list is submitted in the future.

But now Emperor Xingyuan doesn't know. After all, there are two worlds inside and outside the palace, and Jin Linwei, who is the eye of the emperor, supervises hundreds of officials and nobles, and will not casually talk about civil affairs in front of the emperor.

"There was a young man who was disemboweled, and his heart was gouged out and he died in the streets." The concubine looked frightened.

Emperor Xingyuan's face did not change, and he listened to Concubine Shu.

"The people of the capital say that the "Painted Skin" sold by Qingsong Bookstore is a demon book, and the man was killed by the evil ghost who ran out of "Painted Skin"."

"Nonsense." Emperor Xingyuan shook his head.

When he fought the world, it was also rumored that he had a vision when he was born, but in fact, he arranged for people to spread it himself, in order to make people return to their hearts. This kind of rumor is just the ignorance of the world.

Of course, this does not affect him to continue listening, and he is idle anyway.

Concubine Shu was choked to death by Emperor Xingyuan's "nonsense", and said slowly: "That's how it was passed on anyway. Many people were afraid that the demon books would harm people, so they set fire to the books, which caused more than 10 fires and even casualties."

At this time, Emperor Xingyuan paid attention to it: "There is such a thing?"

Regardless of the day, fire prevention is a top priority. Not to mention other places, the palace buildings are all wooden, whether in history or during the reign of Emperor Xingyuan, there were fires.

Emperor Xingyuan's reaction caused Concubine Shu to bend the corners of her lips slightly, and sighed, "Concubine was also shocked when she heard this. Autumn and winter are dry, what if there is a fire? I heard that the people of the Dongcheng Terracotta Division went to the Qingsong Bookstore to collect the demon book in order to appease people's hearts and stabilize the order, but I didn't expect it——"

"What?" Emperor Xingyuan's expression was serious.

Concubine Shu paid attention to Emperor Xingyuan's expression, confirmed in her heart that there was nothing wrong, and sighed, "I didn't expect to be stopped by Changle Hou."

Emperor Xingyuan was stunned: "He Qingxiao?"

Concubine Shu nodded, and added tea for Emperor Xingyuan, and her tone was so soft that water dripped out: "It is said

Changle Hou is very protective of the owner of Qingsong Bookstore."

It is rumored that the owner of Qingsong Bookstore, Miss Kou, is like the eldest princess of Zhaoyang, and Concubine Shu has no good impression of this girl Kou who has never met before, and she is even more disgusted with the words of the person.

"Oh? Who is the owner of Green Pine Books?"

Concubine Shu thought that Miss Kou was the one who saved the eldest princess of Zhaoyang's beloved daughter, and the emperor gave her a reward, Hanhu said, "I heard that it is a girl."

As the envoy of Jinlin Wei, for the sake of women to obstruct the law enforcement of the Soldiers and Horses, no emperor would be happy to hear it.

Concubine Shu saw Emperor Xingyuan's eyes cold as she wished, and she knew the truth of what was enough, so she changed the topic with a smile.

Emperor Xingyuan did not stay in Hanlian Palace for too long and returned to Qianqing Palace, and immediately summoned He Qingxiao to see him the next day.

"Who is the owner of the bookstore where Mr. Songling wrote the book?" After chatting a few words of gossip, Emperor Xingyuan seemed to ask casually.

He Qingxiao's eyes were dark, covering the waves caused by the emperor's questioning: "Back to Your Majesty, the owner of Qingsong Bookstore is Miss Kou."

No matter how casual the emperor is, he will not ask about this for no reason. It seems that the emperor should know about the rumors about "Painted Skin", and even know about him stopping Han Dongming. In this case, it is the best choice to tell the truth about Miss Kou's identity.

Sure enough, when Emperor Xingyuan heard that it was Miss Kou, he immediately asked, "Could it be the Kou girl who saved Fu'er?"

"Exactly."

"I didn't expect a little girl to open a bookstore." Emperor Xingyuan swallowed what he wanted to say and said dryly.

He Qingxiao knew that this emperor had a lot of thoughts, so he simply took the initiative to admit it: "A few days ago, Qingsong Bookstore was involved in rumors because of a murder...... In Wechen's view, only by finding out the real culprits and those who deceive the public can they truly calm the people's fears, rather than implicate the innocent. Moreover, Mr. Songling is a person whom His Majesty admires, and Wechen should take care of the Qingsong Bookstore that cooperates with Mr. Songling."

Emperor Xingyuan did not show his attitude towards this, and asked about the murderer: "Have you found out the murderer and the person who deceived the public with evil words?"

"The murderer is Mr. Ping'an, who used to write books for Yaxin Bookstore, who was dismissed by Yaxin Bookstore because of the good business of Qingsong Bookstore, and killed people with resentment to take revenge on Qingsong Bookstore. The shopkeeper of Yaxin Bookstore heard about the murder and took the opportunity to spread rumors, also to suppress the business of Qingsong Bookstore......

After hearing this, Emperor Xingyuan couldn't help but sneer: "This Yaxin bookstore is really a miasma, and there is no need to open it in the future."

Now that the rumors that disturbed the people's hearts have naturally dispersed with the wind, there is no need to say anything to He Qingxiao to stop the Soldiers and Horses Division from doing things.

"Yes."

So when the news that Mr. Ping An was the real murderer had not yet completely spread, a team of Jinlinwei rushed to Yaxin Bookstore and neatly pasted a seal.
