Chapter 173: Great Tribulation
The matter of breaking into Qingsong Bookstore at night suddenly became a hot topic after dinner. And what everyone sighed the most about was that Qingsong Bookstore had raised so many guards, which was really unexpected.
Since Xin Yu took over, first "Painted Skin", and then "Journey to the West", the hot sales of the two stories have made Qingsong Bookstore famous, even if they don't know the belongings moved from Shaoqing's Mansion, there are many people who have crooked thoughts.
As soon as this incident came out, those who were about to make a move immediately settled down.
Qingsong Bookstore really dares to kill, it will die!
On this day, Duan Shaoqing went to the office, and on the way out, a colleague couldn't help but sigh with him: "Duan Shaoqing, my niece is really amazing, more than a dozen gangsters robbed the bookstore, and none of them were well."
Duan Shaoqing smiled, and his face sank as soon as he got into the carriage.
A small bookstore raises more than 100 guards, is this a lot of money?
Thinking about how the money came from, Duan Shaoqing was even more congested.
This also sounded the alarm bell for him, it seems that it is not possible to start from the bookstore, and he needs to be more cautious if he wants that girl's life.
In the palace, a small chamberlain presented the book wrapped in cloth to the great eunuch Sun Yan with both hands: "Godfather, this is Mr. Songling's new book "Journey to the West"."
Emperor Xingyuan had expressed his interest in the story written by Mr. Song Ling before, and as Emperor Xingyuan's side, Sun Yan had already told the people below to pay attention to Mr. Song Ling's new book.
"Good job." Sun Yan asked casually, "How is Qingsong Bookstore doing?"
He was very impressed by the owner of Qingsong Bookstore, you must know that this Kou girl has been rewarded by the emperor.
can be valued by the big eunuch Sun Yan, and the little chamberlain is also a clever one, and he has already inquired about the excitement of the past few days: "As soon as Mr. Songling's new book was launched, the business of Qingsong Bookstore was booming, and thieves were attracted for this. Fortunately, there were many guards in the bookstore, and those thieves not only did not succeed, but also lost their lives in prison......
After listening to the little waiter, Sun Yan was very curious: "More than a dozen bandits were wiped out in one fell swoop, how many guards did they raise?"
"I've heard of hundreds!"
Sun Yan smacked his tongue.
A bookstore with hundreds of guards?
I didn't know whether to say that Miss Kou had courage or was stupid and had a lot of money, so Sun Yan checked the new book and went to see Emperor Xingyuan.
Emperor Xingyuan did not slack off because the New Year was approaching, Sun Yan silently accompanied him, and waited until he finished processing a batch of twists and turns to stand up for activities.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Song Ling of Qingsong Bookstore has released a new book." Sun Yan bowed his head slightly, holding the script with both hands.
Emperor Xingyuan wanted to take it and take a look, but thinking of the experience of staying up late watching "Painted Skin", he decided to finish the excerpts on the eucalyptus.
Storybooks are like this, after you start reading them, you want to read them quickly, and if you haven't read them yet, you can endure them.
In the afternoon, Emperor Xingyuan was finally busy, and as soon as his hand touched the book, the minister had an urgent matter to report, and the book was put down again and buried in the eucalyptus.
Seeing this, Sun Yan didn't remind again.
He wished that the emperor would use the time for reading idle books to rest.
Xin Yu noticed that a waiter came to buy a book.
Even if these chamberlains are dressed as ordinary people, their words and deeds will always be different.
The only thing that is uncertain is which palace the chamberlain who came to buy the book is.
However, since the emperor instructed Lord He to check on Mr. Songling, the people around the emperor will definitely send Mr. Songling's new book to the emperor in order to show it, and it will be a matter of time before "Journey to the West" is seen.
If you are unlucky and there is no movement in the palace, then you can only be reminded by Lord He without showing any traces.
But this is a last resort, and Xinyu doesn't want to go this far.
Fortunately, she knows that there are many things that cannot be rushed, and she needs to be patient.
At present, what annoys everyone in Qingsong Bookstore is those booksellers who come to urge the second volume every day after reading "Journey to the West".
These people are mainly the students of Guozijian, and these students take advantage of the convenience of being close, and they can run around in the middle of the afternoon, and ask questions when they enter the door
When will the second volume of "Journey to the West" come out.
It was less than noon, Liu Zhou glanced at the prisoners who were walking in the direction of the bookstore, and complained to the shopkeeper Hu with a frowning face: "What I am most afraid of now is noon and evening, I can't cope with it, I really can't deal with it!"
Shopkeeper Hu gave Liu Zhou a slap: "Don't be poor, hurry up and greet the guests."
When I used to count ants, how could I have thought that those young people would block the bookstore every day, crying and shouting to buy new books that have not yet been released?
It's a trouble, but it's also a sweet one.
Liu Zhou complained on his lips, but in fact, he thought so in his heart, and smiled enthusiastically at the students who walked in.
"Little second brother, don't just laugh, when will the second volume of "Journey to the West" come out?"
"This villain really doesn't know......
"I want to see your host, Miss Kou!" The boy at the head slapped the counter.
Liu Zhou knows the identity of this young man, this is the grandson of the prime minister's family, and he can't afford to mess with him.
Fortunately, the owner is the best at dealing with these gentlemen.
Liu Zhou glanced at Shopkeeper Hu, and saw that Shopkeeper Hu had no intention of objecting, so he smiled and said, "Wait a minute, distinguished guest, we will pass a message to the owner."
Zhang Xu nodded with satisfaction.
Xin Yu received the news and went to the front.
The students who were originally waiting in the study hall were still a little impatient, but when the girl in the silver cloak walked in calmly, most of the students' impatience suddenly disappeared.
cough, mainly because I thought that Miss Kou had hundreds of guards, and her mind was much clearer.
Zhang Xu faced Xin Yu, and he didn't see the arrogance just now: "Miss Kou, I finally waited until you came."
"I heard that Zhang Gongzi is looking for me?"
"It's nothing, just ask, when will the second volume of our "Journey to the West" come out?"
"Probably after the Lantern Festival."
Zhang Xu stroked his palm: "It's still Miss Kou! Ahem, but it's still early before the Lantern Festival, can Miss Kou reveal what happened to the monkey when it was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain?"
"Yes, did the monkey escape, did he take revenge?" The inmates asked.
Xin Yu casually swept over the teenagers, and her gaze fell on one of the teenagers and did not move.
The young man stood on the outermost side, his body and appearance were ordinary, but it made Xin Yu, who was used to seeing all kinds of pictures, change his face.
Suddenly, in the image that appeared in front of him, the boy was hit by a collapsing wall, and only his head and face were exposed.
And this is not the main reason why Xin Yu didn't control her expression in front of people, what really frightened her was the large number of houses that collapsed as the background in the picture, and the countless people who were buried and smashed.
This is not an accident for one person, but a disaster for many!
There were obviously so many people crowded in the study hall, but Xin Yu felt cold to the bone.
It was the first time she had seen so many dead and wounded that she couldn't keep her face peeling.
