Chapter 367: Notoriety

It was nearly evening when I returned to the city.

Xin Yu held the reins and said to Xiaolian, "Go to Qingsong Bookstore and have a look."

Xiaolian also wanted to shopkeeper them a little, and happily responded.

There were not many pedestrians on the street, and the four of them rode their horses all the way, and when they saw the signboard of Qingsong Bookstore in the distance, they slowed down and turned over and dismounted.

"Is the girl going to eat at the bookstore?" Xiaolian walked beside Xin Yu.

"It's fine. It's been a long time since I've eaten with Shopkeeper Hu and them."

The two were talking, and when they were about to walk to the door of the bookstore, Xin Yu suddenly pulled Xiaolian.

A thousand winds flew in front of Xin Yu, and Ping An reached out and grabbed the flying hidden weapon.

The secret weapon is unexpected, it's a chicken.

Xin Yu resolutely gave the order: "Bring people back."

This kind of throwing chickens at people's doors obviously has nothing to do with the killer.

Qianfeng led the order away, and peace stayed by Xin Yu's side.

Liu Zhou and Shi ran out one after the other when they heard the movement.

"You're here, host." Seeing that it was Xin Yu, Liu Zhou looked happy.

Xin Yu pointed to the chicken that was caught in Ping'an's hand: "Someone threw this at the door of the bookstore."

When Liu Zhou saw it, his face darkened: "Here we go again!"

"What's going on?" Xin Yu didn't go in anymore, and stood in front of the bookstore and asked.

Shopkeeper Hu also walked out.

"Someone threw rotten eggs at the door yesterday, but unfortunately they didn't catch anyone. If I had known which rabbit had thrown it, the hammer wouldn't have killed him!" Liu Zhou clenched his fists.

"Has the bookstore had any conflicts with customers lately?" Xin Yu asked the shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper Hu shook his head: "No."

"Wait a minute, then."

Shopkeeper Hu and Liu Zhou glanced at each other, and they didn't know what Xin Yu meant by this for a while.

Soon Qianfeng returned with a person: "Girl, this is the one who lost the chicken."

Xin Yu looked at the person who was restrained by the thousand winds.

It was a man in his thirties, wearing a padded robe, and he looked weak and bookish.

Xin Yu glanced at the shopkeeper Hu.

Shopkeeper Hu shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know this person.

Liu Zhou asked with a cold face, "Who are you?" Why are you throwing chickens at our bookstore?"

Passers-by deliberately slowed down, and people from the surrounding shops also quietly probed.

The man didn't reply to Liu Zhou's words, and struggled to get out: "Let go of me, do you want to lynch in public?"

Xin Yu observed coldly, making sure that this person was in a normal sense, and his expression turned cold: "You are coming for the bookstore? Or are you coming for me?"

Being able to say such things as lynching shows that this person knows her identity and relationship with the bookstore. When Xin Yu realized this, she realized that this person was more likely to be coming at her.

The man's face changed slightly.

"Why, dare you do it and dare not say it? I thought people who read books were very strong." Xin Yu's face was contemptuous.

The man was immediately enraged: "That's right, I just can't get used to it! You are a woman, relying on your identity to carry out evil government, which makes the world despised, and sooner or later there will be retribution!"

Xiaolian kicked over: "Your mouth is so stinky, there will be retribution!"

The man screamed and scolded, "Evil master Diao slave!"

When he makes such a fuss, there are even more people watching the excitement. A lot of people got together and pointed out and discussed.

"What's going on?"

"The scholar smashed Miss Xin with a chicken, saying that Miss Xin was carrying out evil politics."

"I've heard about it, too, and the new deal is really inappropriate!"

"What's wrong?"

"Do you think, if we divide the land into the acre, we will have a lot of thin land in total, and we will have to pay more taxes than before......

"I heard that if the new policy is really implemented, the landlords will increase the rent, and it will be more difficult when the time comes......

The sound of people's chatter reached the man's ears and gave him great encouragement. He shouted at Xin Yu, "Miss Xin, when you act as Miss Kou, donate money and save you

The victims of the disaster are indeed admirable. How come it is that when you have a higher status, you have changed?"

Xin Yu smiled angrily: "Tell me how it has changed?"

"For the sake of the officials who are unkind, exploit the people!" The man's face was indignant and righteous.

"The new policy has not yet been implemented, so you must have exploited the people? What evidence do you have?"

"Evidence? Isn't that obvious? My family's 100 acres of thin land are barely enough to cultivate and study, and once the tax increases, where can I afford it—"

Xin Yu coldly interrupted the man's indignation: "I ask you if you have any evidence now?"

The man was stunned.

He heard people grit his teeth with hatred when he talked about the New Deal, so he came to smash rotten eggs to vent his anger, and now the New Deal has not been implemented, where is the evidence.

"If there is no evidence, then you are slandering and attacking the imperial officials." Xin Yu looked at the man whose face turned pale, and he was not used to this kind of sour and rotten scholar, "Qianfeng, send this suspect who slandered and attacked the imperial court officials to the official mansion."

"Yes." Qianfeng responded, carried the man and left.

"Let go of me, let go of me, you bully!" The man screamed in horror.

Liu Zhou took a sip: "Bad goods!"

This kind of goods that seem to be not afraid of the powerful, but in fact, the other party is really instigated.

The people who watched the excitement didn't expect Xin Yu to be so tough, so they quickly dispersed.

Of course, it wasn't really scattered, or the door was closed, or he went to various wine shops and teahouses, and talked about the new gossip that the scholar was sent to the government.

Xin Yu walked into the bookstore and took the tea from the shopkeeper Hu: "Has the shopkeeper heard about the new deal?"

It's only been a few days, and those people are moving quickly.

Shopkeeper Hu shook his head: "I just heard about it today."

Xin Yu looked at Liu Zhou.

Liu Zhou also shook his head: "Yesterday, I heard two scholars muttering quietly, and vaguely heard words like 'New Deal', but I don't know the specifics."

"But looking at the excitement today, there are quite a few people who have heard of the New Deal. Liu Zhou, you take some people to wander around the teahouses and restaurants, and listen to what they are talking about."

In this way, the propaganda of those people is targeted, and it is aimed at those who have small families, especially those who read.

After dinner at the bookstore, Liu Zhou came back in a huff.

"Those who drink and eat tea go too far, and even speak ill of the owner! The owner has saved so many victims and done so many good deeds, why did he forget them all?"

Xin Yu had expected it: "It's nothing. Most of those victims can't afford to drink."

"Boss, let those people ruin your reputation?"

"The Son of Heaven can't afford to set off a big storm under his feet, and it's not too late to wait a few days."

On the second day, there was a royal history to impeach Xin Yu for acting arrogantly, and several people stood up to speak for the scholar.

Emperor Xingyuan listened silently and grasped the point: "That is to say, the scholar was dissatisfied with the new policy and attacked Xin Zhizhao with rotten eggs?"

Du Yushi immediately explained to the scholar: "That scholar did not attack Xin Zhizhao, but threw it at the door of the bookstore. It is very common for the people to express their anger in this way, and it is really inappropriate for Xin Zhizhao, as an advocate of the new policy, not only to be appeased, but also to send people to the government—"

Emperor Xingyuan had a cold face: "If you are dissatisfied with the new policy, you can throw rotten eggs when Xin waits for the edict to go to the bookstore?" Are you waiting for that scholar to defend him like this, are you really speaking up for the people, or are you dissatisfied with the new policy?"
