Liu Zhou suddenly came back to his senses: "The distinguished guest called me?" ”

The bookmaker holding the new book smiled and said, "You little two, why do you seem to have lost your soul?" ”

"Alas!" Liu Zhou sighed heavily, "It's nothing. What did you just ask? ”

"I asked when the fourth volume of "Journey to the West" would be released."

"I don't know. We all listen to the owner's arrangement for the release of new books. ”

Hearing Liu Zhou mention the "owner", the bookkeeper suddenly became mysterious, glanced left and right and lowered his voice and asked, "Xiao Er, are those rumors true?" ”

"What rumors?" Liu Zhou looked dazed.

"That means that Miss Kou locked up Mr. Songling, and she can't write "Journey to the West" and is not allowed to go out?"

Liu Zhou was furious: "These rumors are all farts!" Our bookstore has already had a full set of manuscripts of "Journey to the West", how could our owner lock up Mr. Songling! ”

"Ah, so those rumors are false?" I don't know when, a large number of people came around.

The young man looked very angry: "I don't know which idle person chews his tongue and talks nonsense by himself, but he hurts our host!" ”

As soon as I heard that there was gossip, more people came around.

"What's wrong with your host?"

"yes, what's wrong with Miss Kou?"

Liu Zhou didn't speak with a calm face, and the stone on the side wiped his tears with his hands: "Because of these rumors, our host was taken away by Jin Linwei yesterday!" ”

"Shhh

There are already many people queuing up to buy new books, and there is a growing trend, and the new gossip that Miss Kou, the owner of Qingsong Bookstore, was taken away because of outrageous rumors spread as soon as it came out.

Guozijian is close to the bookstore and is the first to spread.

Duan Yunlang ran to Qingsong Bookstore in one breath and grabbed Liu Zhou's wrist: "My cousin was really captured by Jinlinwei?" ”

Liu Zhou nodded with tears in his eyes.

"Isn't Lord He okay with his cousin?" Duan Yunlang was puzzled.

He had always suspected that the poor boy was coveting his cousin, was it a misunderstanding?

"It is said that Lord He went out of Beijing on an errand, and now it is another adult who is in charge."

"I see."

Duan Yunlang turned around and ran out, but was grabbed by Meng Fei, who was chasing him: "Where are you going?" ”

"Go find my uncle."

Hearing Duan Yunlang say that he was going to find Duan Shaoqing, Meng Fei's eyes flashed with ridicule: "I advise you not to toss in vain." That's Jin Linwei's Beizhen Fusi, can Shaoqing of Taifu Temple speak? ”

If you can't say anything, it can be classified as a matter of identity and status, but that Duan Shaoqing obviously has a problem with his character, and it is too much to have a point of sincerity for his niece.

"What then?" Duan Yunlang was worried.

Meng Fei thought for a while: "I'll go talk to my grandfather." ”

Meng Fei's grandfather, Meng Saijiu, is a real big man in Duan Yunlang's eyes.

In fact, the official rank of the country's priest is not high, but this position is noble and important, and those who are selected to serve this position are valued and trusted by the emperor.

"Brother Meng, please." Duan Yunlang rushed to Meng Fei.

Meng Fei sighed: "I can only say try it, don't expect too much." Jin Linwei is different from other government offices, and no one may be given face. ”

"Then thank you Brother Meng for your help."

"Brothers, you're welcome." Meng Fei waved his hand and left.

Looking at his friend's back walking forward quickly, Duan Yunlang suddenly felt that it was not a taste.

The eldest brother is famous, and now he is no longer studying in Guozijian, and when he goes home to live, he must know that something happened to his cousin. Can it look ...... There doesn't seem to be much movement in the house.

Brother-Duan Yunlang wavered at this word for the first time.

"Miss Kou was taken away by Jin Linwei?" After hearing what Meng Fei said, Meng Feijiu's face changed slightly, and he got up and walked out.

"Grandfather, where are you going?" Meng Fei chased and asked, why do you always like to leave when you say go.

Meng Xijiu glanced at his grandson in surprise: "You came to talk to your grandfather, didn't you just want your grandfather to talk to Miss Kou, of course you went to the palace." ”

Jin Linwei is the eyes and ears of the emperor, and even officials who have the heart to make friends with him do not dare to put it on the surface, for fear of being labeled as a snooping secret. If Meng Xijiu goes directly to Jinlinwei, it may cause gossip.

Meng Fei was stunned: "This is going to enter the palace to face the saint?" Isn't it too hasty? Don't you think about it? ”

Jin Linwei is doing things for the emperor, especially some things that the emperor doesn't want the officials to know. casually ran in front of the emperor and said this and that to the errand that Jin Linwei did, wouldn't it make the emperor angry?

Meng Xijiu glared at his grandson: "It was you who came to me, and it was you who made me cautious, you kid has itchy skin?" ”

Meng Fei scoffed.

He actually struggled in his heart, because he knew that this was to find trouble for his grandfather. It's just that the friendship of his classmates and his appreciation for Miss Kou prevailed, so he couldn't stand idly by.

"Go to the book!" After yelling at his grandson, Meng sacrificed wine and went to the imperial city.

Emperor Xingyuan heard the news from the chamberlain that Meng Xijiu asked to see him, and he couldn't think of what it would be for a while, so he quickly passed people in.

"The minister has seen Your Majesty."

"What's the matter with Meng sacrifice wine?" Emperor Xingyuan has feelings for this old Wenchen who has followed him from the time of the war, even if he is in a very bad mood these days, he can be called kind and pleasant at this time.

Along the way, Meng Sai Wine has already brewed a good rhetoric: "There is a bookstore near Guozijian, named Qingsong Bookstore——"

"I know that the owner of Qingsong Bookstore is Miss Kou." Speaking of Miss Kou, Emperor Xingyuan's expression softened a little.

"What the minister is going to say is Miss Kou?"

"How?"

"Recently, there has been a rumor in the market that Miss Kou has put Mr. Songling under house arrest......"

Emperor Xingyuan shook his head: "Nonsense." ”

Of course, he wouldn't reveal in front of Meng Xijiu that he already knew about this rumor.

The minister also thought it was nonsense. But the minister heard that Jin Linwei took Miss Kou away yesterday and has not released her so far, and now the people are talking about it. ”

Emperor Xingyuan subconsciously twisted his eyebrows.

After he asked Xiao Lengshi to temporarily take charge of Beizhen Fusi, he actually knew that Jin Linwei would find Miss Kou. He was also looking forward to changing his personal investigation and finding out new clues about Mr. Songling.

But everyone knows how to make trouble?

Emperor Xingyuan had a slight doubt about Xiao Lengshi's ability, but he would not replace him immediately, and said lightly: "It is rumored that it is like a lake, and when there is wind, it will make waves. Some need to be paid attention to, and some might as well be ignored. ”

Meng Xijiu understood Emperor Xingyuan's attitude: It seems that Miss Kou can't come out of Jinlinwei for the time being.

"Meng Saijiu and Miss Kou know each other?"

"Seen it a few times. The minister admired Miss Kou's righteous act of donating silver for disaster relief, and heard that Jin Linwei took Miss Kou away because of rumors, and he was afraid that her little girl would suffer from flesh and skin, and he was also worried that the people's discussion would affect the prestige of the court......"

Emperor Xingyuan heard what Meng Xijiu said, and explained to Sun Yan: "You go to Beizhen Fusi, let them not be rude to Miss Kou, and send Miss Kou back after asking clearly." ”

Sun Yan took the edict and left the palace.

At this time, in the Beizhen Fusi, Xiao Lengshi was angry.
