Chapter 415

Over the past few days, a bookstore has become a holy place in the hearts of students, but at the same time, it is also a thorn in the eyes of many merchants.

They always feel that after a bookstore opens, their own business will be affected. Although the poor students in the past were poor, at any rate, every once in a while, even if they are reluctant, they have to spend money to buy one or two books from their bookstore. Now it's good, the bookstore is directly free, who will come to their bookstore to spend?

So several dishonest shopkeepers got together and decided to teach Youjian Bookstore a lesson.

The next day, there were a few new faces among the students who came to the bookstore to read books. Xiaoer didn't notice at first, but when he was patrolling, he caught a glimpse of these people and found that these people were sneaky and making small movements beside the bookshelves.The shrewd Xiaoer had been told by the manager earlier, so he immediately ran to the second floor to report.

The manager had been bored for several days, but now he was full of energy. He heard an exclamation from downstairs. His old arms and legs seemed to be ten years younger immediately, and he came to the first floor in a whizz.

When Xiaoxiao and Rong Yan came to receive the news, they just saw a man in a school robe holding a book in his hand, with a heavy face and a bad tone: "I just said how could there be such a good thing in the world, so it turns out that opening a bookstore is False, inciting civil unrest is true!"

He spread out the book, black and white are statements of dissatisfaction with the present, including remarks that questioned his throne's injustice. An outrageous word.

Xiaoxiao wanted to applaud him, she didn't have much brains, and she was quite courageous.

The interest in the steward's eyes dissipated, replaced by a completely different coldness and solemnity from before.

"Come on, take this troublemaker down for me!"

The man didn't expect such a development at all: "Wait, did you guys find out about this rebellious act by me and want to kill people to silence you?"

"Fellow folks, they must be spies sent by Jihu!"

Really. Chi Ernan, the fierce barbarian, also came out for a stroll today. He just happened to see this farce after eating a big meat bun. He was still being popularized by passers-by. What kind of store is a bookstore? up.

The man had been prepared for a long time, and he spoke decisively: "The vicious second prince just came to our Daxia, and you opened a bookstore when you have a bookstore. The saying that you don't charge for reading books has never been heard since ancient times. It is said that there is nothing to be courteous. It is rape or theft. ,really!"

He held up the book in his hand: "You must be the helpers of the vicious barbarian, just to disturb my people's hearts!"

"Everyone, report to the officer!"

"Whoever wants to report to the official, get out of the way, official errands do things, idlers go away!"

The troublemaker just took a step forward, but the steward next to him said first: "I reported that someone deliberately caused trouble, please ask the officials to take him away, so as not to affect the reading of my guests here."

Hey, why is it still "the villain sues first"?The troublemaker was sure that the owner of the bookstore was a bit stupid, and he didn't know how to be afraid even in this situation, so he showed the book to the official: "Look!"

The manager put his hands behind his back: "I advise you to think carefully before doing something, lest you regret it later."

That person didn't care, it wasn't the first time he had done such a similar thing, he was very familiar with it, so he slammed it on the official's face carelessly.

At some point, Xiaoxiao had already taken out some snacks and gave half of them to Rong Yan, the two watched with relish while eating.

"The steward you're looking for seems to have a plan in mind."

Rong Yan told her: "Eunuch Sun used to serve the concubines. Compared to the intrigues in the harem, this trick is not enough for him. I guess he just played with them because he was bored recently."

Xiaoxiao bit the biscuit and said, "It should also have the meaning of killing chickens and monkeys."

After all, the two of them had finished their errands, and it was time to return to Beijing. This bookstore had to gain a foothold in Xijiang County, otherwise, not only the students, but Xiaoxiao would also feel regretful if all their efforts were wasted.

The official's face turned green, they dare not listen to these things!Where did the idiot come from, the public dared to speak out!

They hurriedly asked someone to cover the man's mouth, no matter whether he was still babbling, they turned to the steward and asked, "What do you say here?"

Smart people have noticed that he calls the steward differently.

The manager didn't put on airs, and bowed his hands like an ordinary citizen: "It's like this. Just now I was running the store well, and the customers were reading books quietly, but this person is making trouble out of nothing, and wants to deliberately frame it."

"We are all law-abiding good citizens. When encountering such villains, of course we can only seek help from the government."

The official was a little flattered, but the process still had to go: "Then how do you prove that you have nothing to do with the bookstore at this time?"

The steward nodded, squeezed the treacherous book with two fingers like something dirty, and took another book from the shelf, took both books under the sun and unfolded them, he said: "Everyone, please have a look. "

Today is a sunny day, the sun shines directly on the pages of the book, so shaking that people can't even read the words clearly, but under such glare, a mark that suddenly appeared on the footer of the page is particularly clear.

Fearing that everyone would not understand, the steward asked someone to bring a few books at once, and found that the same mark was on the lower right corner of the page. No matter how stupid the troublemaker was, he knew that he had failed, so he tried to explain a few words but his mouth was covered.

The steward said slowly: "Every book here has a hidden seal, and others cannot imitate it."

"I might as well take this opportunity to be more detailed. All the books in a bookstore have the same handwriting, the same hidden seal, and are numbered. It is impossible for anything of unknown origin to be mixed in."

"Don't say that I have a hidden seal here, but I don't have one. Do you think you can pretend to have a bookstore's collection by just writing a few numbers on the book?"

"I don't even understand the most basic rules of rank and rank, so what's the point of joining in the fun?"

Compared with the methods used by the concubines in the harem to compete for favor, it is simply laughable and generous.

After checking the truth, the official asked the steward, "How do you think this person should be dealt with?"

The steward shook his sleeves: "Dare to be disrespectful to the present, you can see that he is daring, and he is determined to kill us, so let him taste the bitter fruit he has brewed, and I beg the officials to follow the law. Come to judge, and make sure he pays the price he deserves for what he did."

If what happened today wasn't enough to wake up those people with bad intentions, the next day, Shen Tianci, who was sent to study with great fanfare by the county magistrate, became another living sign.

"I heard that the magistrate of the county has sent the son of the family to a bookstore?"

"Does this mean that the magistrate wants to cover the bookstore?"

"Could it be that the county magistrate opened the shop?"

There are various speculations, and no one knows whether it is true or not, but some people with sharp eyes have discovered——

"Have you noticed that the steward of the study has no beard..."

Who doesn't have a beard?Eunuchs in the palace!

How can the identity of the person behind this bookstore be so simple if a eunuch can be used as a steward?
