Daqing: Reborn Prince, intercepting Si Lili at the beginning

Li Chengyuan took the book and took a look at it, his expression suddenly became interesting.

Goodness, it was exactly what he thought.

These two books are "A Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West"!

Among them, "A Dream of Red Mansions" is a banned book, and "Journey to the West" is a pirated book!

Li Chengyuan didn't know the situation of "Dream of Red Mansions".

But this "Journey to the West" was already on sale half a month ago.

Half a month ago, Qiankun Bookstore officially opened, and the first book recommended was "Journey to the West" written by him!

Of course, Li Chengyuan did not use his own name, but a pen name - Hua Mantang!

The pen name was chosen randomly.

At that time, a poem happened to come to his mind, so he used this poem as a pen name!

This is not important. What is important is that his "Journey to the West" has only been on sale for half a month, and now there are pirated copies?

You know, although he didn't say it explicitly, Qiankun Bookstore is his property.

But anyone who pays a little attention to him basically knows that Qiankun Bookstore is the property of the Third Prince!

Even so, there are still people who dare to pirate "Journey to the West"!

Or the ignorant are fearless!

Or he is deliberately ruining his business!

Whatever it is, this is unbearable!

Now, Qiankun Bookstore is the only source of income for Prince Li’s Mansion, and its financial resources must not be blocked by anyone!

"Auntie, how many of these books do you have left? I want to buy some more!"

Li Chengyuan simply used the method of his younger brother Fan Xian and was too lazy to think of any other excuses.

"You want to buy more? Then come with me!"

The old lady looked around furtively, then led Li Chengyuan to the back alley.

Li Chengyuan stepped forward to catch up.

On the way, he looked around and found nothing unusual.

Li Chengyuan actually already had a guess in his mind at this moment, but he had to meet in person to confirm it!

Soon, Li Chengyuan followed the aunt to a secluded place in the back alley.

Then Li Chengyuan saw a familiar scene.

In the alley, a slightly plump middle-aged man was sitting on a recliner, drinking tea leisurely. There was a desk next to him, and on the desk were two large piles of books, which were "Journey to the West" and "A Dream of Red Mansions".

Seeing this scene, Li Chengyuan instantly confirmed that the person selling pirated books was Wang Qinian!

Li Chengyuan likes Wang Qinian so much!

Wang Qinian is a smooth-talking, cunning, tactful person. He is also greedy for money and henpecked. It can be said that he has many faults.

But in fact, Wang Qinian is very loyal and righteous deep down in his heart, and he has a strong sense of justice and is very reliable in doing things!

Especially Wang Qinian has a face called "Teacher Wang", which makes his shortcomings become humor.

Li Chengyuan really likes Wang Qinian.

After all, everyone wants to have a like-minded, flattering subordinate with a good sense of humor!

But unfortunately, this Wang Qinian was left to Fan Xian by Chen Pingping.

Moreover, after Fan Xian arrived in Beijing, he really needed Wang Qinian as his guide.

So Li Chengyuan could only leave Wang Qinian to Fan Xian.

But before that, he can still take advantage of it and get the reward.

......

Li Chengyuan took out a silver ingot, sent the old lady away, and then came to Wang Qinian alone!

"You sold these two books?"

"Of course. How much do you want to buy?"

Wang Qinian slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Li Chengyuan, his eyes suddenly fixed, and he stood up.

Li Chengyuan was surprised when he saw this: "Your reaction... do you know me?"

"I don't know you!" Wang Qinian said with a wry smile, "But judging by your clothes, you must be a young master from an aristocratic family. Naturally, I have to stand up and talk to you!"

Li Chengyuan smiled and said, "You have a good eye! Let me ask you, did you sell both of these books?"

"Hehehe, I'm just doing a small business to make a living!" Wang Qinian had a silly smile on his face.

Upon hearing this, Li Chengyuan casually picked up a copy of Journey to the West, leaned on the table and flipped through it, then complained speechlessly:

"Your small business is quite shady!

I won’t talk about the book “Dream of Red Mansions”, after all, it is a banned book, and things are valuable because they are rare, so it’s normal for you to sell it at a higher price!

But this authentic copy of "Journey to the West" only costs six taels of silver!

How dare you sell this pirated product for five taels, and the quality is so poor?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qinian said with a grin, "Hey, sir, you don't know that when it comes to books, it's the content that counts. As long as the content is correct, the quality of the book doesn't matter.

What's more, although the quality of my book is a little worse, it is still one or two taels of silver cheaper than the original version!

You say, for the sake of a book, I can save a tael of silver and buy some meat to eat, wouldn't it be nice?

This is a mutually beneficial transaction!"

Li Chengqian was almost amused by Wang Qinian's absurd remarks.

Otherwise it would have to be Lao Wang. As long as he can make money, he can make even an iron tree bloom!

"Forget it, I won't argue with you about the price. Let me ask you, do you know who wrote this Journey to the West?"

Chapter 49 Wang Qinian was frightened to his knees three times in a row!

"Uh..." Wang Qinian hesitated for a moment and replied uncertainly, "Isn't it written by this guy called Hua Mantang?"

Li Chengyuan shook his head and said, "Of course not, this is obviously a pen name!"

Wang Qinian laughed and said, "Then I don't know!"

"Then let me ask you again, do you know who opened Qiankun Bookstore?"

“This…” Wang Qinian shook his head again and said, “I don’t know either!”

Li Chengyuan was at a loss for words and said, "You don't know anything, yet you dare to sell pirated books?"

Wang Qinian said helplessly, "Sir, didn't I tell you? I'm just trying to support my family!"

"Then do you know that you, by providing for your family, have committed a grave sin?"

"A crime?" Wang Qinian said in confusion, "No, sir, this is no joke! You can't scare me!"

"I'm trying to scare you?" Li Chengyuan shook his head and said, "Let me tell you, this Qiankun Bookstore is owned by Prince Li's Mansion!"

"Prince Li's Mansion?" Wang Qinian muttered, then realized what was happening and his pupils widened in shock. "The Third Prince?"

Li Chengyuan nodded and said, "That's right! Not only that! This Hua Mantang is the pen name of the Third Prince, which means that this book is actually the work of the Third Prince!"

"thump!"

Wang Qinian was so frightened that his legs went weak and he fell to his knees.

Li Chengyuan was happy.

"What? Are you afraid?"

Wang Qinian grimaced, rubbing his knees and saying, "How can I not be afraid? This is so scary... Hey, sir, look over there!"

As Wang Qinian was speaking, he suddenly pointed behind Li Chengyuan.

Li Chengyuan turned back out of habit.

But just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly looked at Wang Qinian.

Sure enough, Wang Qinian had already packed his things and was about to run.

Wang Qinian didn't get anxious when he saw that Li Chengyuan didn't fall for it.

He thought that his Qing Kung Fu was invincible, and anyway, this young man didn't know him.

If he runs away, who can find him?

"Sir, just pretend you didn't see me. You don't know me anyway. I'll leave first!"

Wang Qinian said this and was about to jump onto the wall.

However, at this moment, Li Chengyuan suddenly called out faintly: "Wang Qinian!"

"thump!"

Wang Qinian, who had just stood on the wall, felt his feet go weak again and fell down.

Wang Qinian lay on the ground, stunned.
