When all his subordinates dispersed, Shen Qi returned to the study, picked up a book related to the government exam, and read it carefully. Since his previous foundation was relatively solid, this time the government examination should not be a big problem.

After an hour passed like this, Shen Qi, who was holding a book and concentrating, looked up at the window, and heard a cheerful voice coming into the courtyard from the door of the bookstore, and secretly said that there should be a bookseller who had entered the city.

At the same time, the servant who had been sent out by Shen Qi came back, and he knocked on the door with Shen Qi's book basket on his back and said:

"Loading the cabinet, the villain is back. ”

Shen Qi got up and opened the door when he heard this, and the servant brought the book basket over, sweating profusely. He felt the weight of the basket, and he was overwhelmed along the way.

"Good work, what's your name?"

Shen Qi took his book basket and found that this person was only a teenager. He has been in the Chen family since he was a child.

As soon as this person heard Shen Qi ask himself, he bowed his head a little nervously and said:

"The villain's name is Wang Xiaoer. ”

Shen Qi heard his name and knew that he was an honest man, so he pressed one hand on his shoulder and said:

"Wang Xiaoer, you will be Li Qinggang's deputy in the future, and the two of you will work together in the future, and you must take care of the front store. ”

Wang Xiaoer looked flattered at the moment, staring at Shen Qi with an incredible face, and after a while, he came to his senses and knelt down excitedly:

"The villain kneels down to thank the shopkeeper for his great kindness!"

"Get up, go and guard the shop, I'll be out in a moment. ”

Shen Qi gave Wang Xiaoer a position and returned to the bookstore.

Towards noon, he got up and opened his book basket, and after cleaning some of the items inside, he found the ordinary brush, but because of the warmth of the pen, the pen had begun to change in his hands.

Then he took the pen with him and left the study alone.

At this time, Li Qinggang had already received all the booksellers, and there were more than a dozen booksellers in the other six counties of Quanzhou together, plus the entourage he brought, there were more than 30 people in total.

At this moment, in the bustling Changtai Restaurant, the entire hall on the first floor has been enveloped, and all the booksellers are gathered here.

When many maids brought tea to and from the banquets, many booksellers sitting at the wine table were already eager to see Shen Qi, a ghost, and when they gathered today, they must inevitably recite poems and understand Shen Qi's talent.

I saw that at this time, at a table of banquets, there was a bookseller in dark red clothes with fat head and big ears who drank a glass of sake, and then said to Liu Hanchang and Li Qinggang, who were greeting guests everywhere:

"I said what is the shopkeeper of your Shengda Bookstore busy with, why haven't you seen him show up yet?"

As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused the echo of other booksellers, and many people asked Shen Qi to appear immediately.

"Don't worry, everyone, the banquet is about to start, and the shopkeeper of my house will definitely appear immediately, so I'll go outside to greet me now." ”

Seeing this, Li Qinggang hurriedly appeased these booksellers, and then left the Changtai Restaurant quickly. The moment he just went out, he saw Shen Qi in a gray and white robe coming slowly, and he was so conspicuous in the crowd.

"Shopkeeper!"

Li Qinggang was immediately overjoyed and ran over.

"How's it going?"

Shen Qi pressed Li Qinggang, who was swooping over, pressed his palm on his chest, and heard the sound of his heart pounding.

"It's all ready, just waiting for you to play. ”

Li Qinggang took a breath, and then focused on several important booksellers to Shen Qi. Among them, the bookseller in the dark red robe with the fat head and big ears is from Dehua County, named Song Biao, and the book trading under his command is the largest in Quanzhou, and there is a middle-aged bookseller in a dark robe with a snake head and a rat eye is from Yongchun County, named Huang San, and the book business is well run, second only to Song Biao in strength.

Shen Qi focused on the situation of Song Biao and Huang San, and then prepared to enter Changtai Restaurant immediately.

But when he was on the road, Li Qinggang hesitated and whispered:

"Shopkeeper, there is one more thing, that is, although the upstairs is taken over by us, the three ladies of the Chen family are having fun on it, and I don't dare to say anything, just waiting for you to deal with it. ”

Shen Qi heard that it was the Chen family's three thousand gold, and said casually with a smile on his face:

"It's okay, let them go, and we'll entertain these booksellers. ”

Soon, when Shen Qi was about to enter the restaurant, Li Qinggang took a few steps in and shouted:

"I've been waiting for a long time, my shopkeeper is here on time!"

As soon as the words came out, the noisy crowd quieted down, and among the tables and banquets present, the guests quieted down one after another, and everyone was very curious about Shen Qi.

At that moment, under the gaze of many anticipatory eyes, Liu Hanchang's four brothers and sisters also walked to Li Qinggang's side to welcome Shen Qi into the door, but at this juncture, in the eyes of Song Biao, Huang San and others, they found that there was a burst of dazzling essence shining into the hall, and everyone thought that they had an illusion, and they couldn't help but rub their eyes, but found that this light was real.

Immediately afterward, steady footsteps were heard in the shining light, and then a tall gray figure walked out of the light and appeared at the gate.

This appeared was Shen Qi, who had a vision, which shocked the faces of the people present, thinking that they had seen the appearance of the gods.

"Everyone's boss, Shen Qi is polite in his late life. ”

Facing the shocked gazes, Shen Qi smiled gently, stretched out his hand and bowed.

In an instant, everyone found that the essence light at the door was like a receding tide of seawater, and quickly disappeared into Shen Qi's body, and then Song Biao, who had a fat head and big ears, was the first to react, and his stiff expression turned into joy:

"I have long heard that Shopkeeper Shen is young and promising, and when I saw my dignity today, I was shocked!"

Then I saw Huang San leave the banquet, walked quickly to Shen Qi's approach to take a closer look, and was impressed by his handsome face:

"Boss Song is right, I think not only do you have to be amazed, such a handsome talent is rare in the world, and only one is produced in five hundred years!"

Listening to these two big bosses praising the shopkeeper like this, Li Qinggang and Liu Hanchang all felt that their faces were bright, but Shen Qi became a little uncomfortable, and only felt that the two of them were too outrageous.

So he coughed, and immediately said to Song Biao and Huang San:

"Boss Song, Boss Huang, I have received the beautiful words, but the younger generation has heard the names of the two major booksellers in Quanzhou since childhood, and it is an honor to see them today. ”

Song Biao and Huang San didn't expect Shen Qi to recognize them, but they weren't surprised, and they came over to greet Shen Qi for a while. After that, Shen Qi met with the remaining booksellers and said hello, and the scene was quite festive.

Finally, after the greetings were over, Shen Qi walked to the middle of the hall and said to the guests on both sides:

"You have come from afar, I will toast you first!"

After that, Liu Cuiru next to him handed Shen Qi a glass of sake, and the others also picked up the wine glasses in the banquet and drank them with Shen Qi.

In this process, the three thousand gold of the Chen family, who had been upstairs, looked down from the stairwell above, and happened to see half of Shen Qi's side face.

Originally, the three sisters didn't like this kind of scene, but this time they were pulled by the eldest sister Chen Lin, who stared at Shen Qi from above, with a complicated look between her eyebrows.

"Eldest sister, are you in love with Shen Qi's son?"

Just when Chen Lin, who has always been taciturn, was fascinated, her second sister Chen Rong suddenly stared at her with a smile and whispered.

Chen Lin was suddenly awakened, turned her pretty face to look at her second sister, and said with some embarrassment:

"A girl's family is ashamed to say these things. ”

This made Chen Lin's cheeks already a little red, and Chen Rong thought deeply for a while, while their little sister Chen Wan seemed to understand whether she understood or not, and her big black eyes looked at Shen Qi below motionlessly.

Just after everyone had a glass of wine and the atmosphere began to relax, Shen Qi began to prepare to toast one by one, but Shen Qi, who had always been uneasy, suddenly looked pale and finally found something.

With a glass of wine, he turned to look at the gate, only to see three men in black walking by. From their breath, Shen Qi sensed danger.

Li Qinggang also spotted these three people, and when he saw them walking towards the gate with gloomy faces, he hurriedly rushed forward and blocked the door and shouted:

"Who are you, this restaurant was chartered by us today, and we don't accept outsiders!"

Among the three people who heard the words, Zhu Xin, who was walking in the middle, was holding the iron painting silver hook pen and his face was angry, and then he saw the strong murderer on the left holding the pen and smashing it out with a fist, and from his palm, a powerful pen turned into a strong wind and swept out, and it bombarded Li Qinggang's chest in an instant.

Suddenly, there was a bang, and the strong wind hit Li Qinggang's body, shaking his eyes black and flying upside down.

At the same time, the dispersed strong wind directly shook the gate open, and then completely shattered under the shocked expressions of everyone, turning into a pile of broken wood chips scattered all over the ground.

Li Qinggang was so shocked that he vomited blood at this time, but fortunately, his life was not in danger, and Liu Hanchang and Liu Yichuan in the back immediately rushed over and dragged him behind Shen Qi to recuperate.

Shen Qi witnessed the seriously injured Li Qinggang being dragged away from him, his eyes flashed with coldness, and then the three black-clothed people opposite him stood in a row opposite Shen Qi, and the iron painting silver hook pen in his hand was really attractive.

The three of them didn't speak, Shen Qi somewhat understood something, and then saw him standing with his hands in his hands, and put on a posture to say to them:

"What do you mean by that? If you come to ask for a drink, you can say it bluntly. ”

Among the three people who heard this, the thin extinction on the right carried a large pen and danced and said:

"We are the three heroes of the Douwen Gang, and today we met the famous ghost genius Shen Qi, and we came to compete. ”

After the extinction was finished, Shen Qi suddenly became interested, looking at each of them with an iron painting silver hook pen, and remembered Qi Changqing.

"I heard that the three are masters of killing people and taking money, and they appeared today, could it be that they were entrusted by someone to come to take my life?"

Shen Qi smiled when he spoke, leaning on the palm of the pen behind him, which made Song Biao, Huang San and others who were watching behind him talk in a low voice, they all wanted to see Shen Qi's pen power.

Even the three thousand gold of the Chen family upstairs became serious, especially Chen Lin, who stared at Shen Qi's back with gloomy eyes, revealing appreciation.

Just after Shen Qi's words didn't get a reply from the three of the Douwen Gang for a long time, their boss finally reacted, only to see him snort coldly, throwing his arm out of his chest, and a blank hinge suddenly popped out of his sleeve.

When the scroll flew out, it automatically unfolded with a loud sound, and then stood and suspended horizontally in front of Shen Qi's eyes, about a foot high and two meters long, and Zhu Xin then stepped towards the blank scroll hanging in the air, and the iron painting silver hook pen in his hand flipped up, and the ink-stained pen fell in the middle of the shaft, giving birth to a fierce impact that penetrated the back of the paper and pounced in front of Shen Qi.

His sharp eyes crossed the top of the scroll, and he looked at Shen Qi coldly:

"You also know that the tree is a big move, so please take action, the Douwen Gang wants to know how you can capture Qi Changqing. ”
