Chapter 173 Catastrophe
Xiao Xiaoye's breaking into Qingsong Bookstore suddenly became a hot topic among people after dinner. And what everyone was most emotional about was that Qingsong Bookstore had so many guards, which was really unexpected.
Since Xinyou took over, "Painted Skin" first, and then "Journey to the West", the two storybooks are sold well, making Qingsong Bookstore famous. My heart became hot and I had a crooked mind.
As soon as this incident happened, those people who were about to make a move immediately settled down.
Qingsong Bookstore really dares to kill people, it will die!
Duan Shaoqing went down to the office this day, and on the way out, a colleague couldn't help but sigh with him: "Duan Shaoqing, your niece is really amazing. More than a dozen gangsters robbed the bookstore, and none of them died or were injured."
Duan Shaoqing chuckled, his face darkened as soon as he got into the carriage.
A small bookstore has more than a hundred guards. Is this a lot of money?
Thinking again about how the money came from, Duan Shaoqing became even more frustrated.
This also sounded the alarm for him. It seems that it is impossible to start with the bookstore. If you want that girl's life, you need to be more cautious.
In the palace, a servant handed the book wrapped in cloth to the **** Sun Yan with both hands: "Godfather, this is the new script "Journey to the West" published by Mr. Songling."
Emperor Xingyuan had previously expressed his interest in the story written by Mr. Songling. As the servant of Emperor Xingyuan, Sun Yan had already told the people below to pay attention to Mr. Songling's new book.
"Good job." Sun Yan asked casually, "How is Qingsong Bookstore?"
He had a deep impression on the owner of Qingsong Bookstore. You must know that Miss Kou was rewarded by the emperor.
To be valued by the great **** Sun Yan, the little servant is also very clever, and he has already figured out the excitement of the past few days: "As soon as Mr. Songling's new book is released, the business of Qingsong Bookstore is booming, and thieves have been brought in for this. Fortunately, the bookstore had many guards, and not only did those thieves fail to catch them, they even spent their lives in jail..."
After listening to the servant, Sun Yan was very curious: "A dozen bandits were wiped out in one go, how many guards did they have?"
"I heard that there are hundreds of people!"
Sun Yan clicked his tongue.
A bookstore has hundreds of guards?
For a while, he didn't know whether to say that Miss Kou had courage, or that she was a fool with a lot of money, so Sun Yan checked the new book and went to see Emperor Xingyuan.
Emperor Xingyuan did not slack off because the Chinese New Year was approaching, Sun Yan silently accompanied him, and only presented "Journey to the West" when he finished processing a batch of memorials and stood up for activities.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Song Ling from Qingsong Bookstore has published a new book." Sun Yan lowered his head slightly, holding the story book in both hands.
Emperor Xingyuan originally wanted to take it over to take a look, but thinking of the experience of staying up all night watching "Painted Skin", he decided to finish processing the notes on the case.
Storybooks are like this. After reading it, you want to finish it quickly. If you haven’t read it yet, you can bear it.
In the afternoon, Emperor Xingyuan finally finished his work. As soon as he touched the scriptures, a minister came to report something urgent.
Sun Yan saw this and didn't remind again.
He wished that the emperor would spend the time reading idle books for rest.
Xin You noticed that a servant came to buy books.
Even if these servants are dressed as ordinary people, their words and deeds are different after all.
The only thing that is uncertain is which palace the servant who came to buy the book is from.
But since the emperor ordered Mr. He to check Mr. Song Ling, the people around the emperor will definitely send Mr. Song Ling's new book to the emperor in order to show that "Journey to the West" will be seen sooner or later.
If you are unlucky and there is no movement in the palace for a long time, you can only remind him through Mr. He without showing any trace.
But this was a last resort, and Xinyou didn't want to go to this point.
Fortunately, she knows that many things cannot be rushed, and she needs to wait patiently.
Right now, the people in Qingsong Bookstore are annoyed by those book readers who have finished reading "Journey to the West" and come to urge the second volume every day.
These people are mainly the students of Guozijian. These students take advantage of the convenience of being close, and they can take a trip in their spare time at noon. When they enter the door, they will ask when the second volume of "Journey to the West" will be released.
It’s not until noon, Liu Zhou glanced at the supervisors walking towards the bookstore, and grimaced and complained to shopkeeper Hu: “What I’m most afraid of now is noon and evening, I can’t handle it, I really can’t handle it!”
Shopkeeper Hu slapped Liu Zhou: "Don't be so talkative, hurry up and greet the guests."
When I was busy counting ants, did I ever think that those young people would block the bookstore every day, crying and shouting to buy new books that hadn’t been released yet?
Although this is a worry, it is also a sweet worry.
Liu Zhou complained on his lips, but he actually thought so in his heart, and showed a warm smile to the students who walked in.
"Second brother, don't just laugh, when will the second volume of "Journey to the West" be released?"
"This villain really doesn't know..."
"I want to see your boss, Ms. Kou!" The leading teenager slapped the counter.
Liu Zhou knew the identity of this young man, he was the grandson of the prime minister's family, so he couldn't afford to provoke him.
Fortunately, the boss is best at dealing with these dudes.
Liu Zhou took a look at Shopkeeper Hu, and seeing that Shopkeeper Hu had no intention of objecting, he smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, we will send a message to the boss."
Zhang Xu nodded in satisfaction.
Xin You received the news and went to the front.
The students who were waiting in the study hall were still a little impatient, but when the girl in the silver cloak walked in calmly, the impatience of most of the students suddenly disappeared.
Cough, the main reason is that Miss Kou has hundreds of guards, so her mind is much clearer.
Facing Xin You, Zhang Xu didn't see the arrogance just now: "Miss Kou, I finally waited for you to come."
"I heard Mr. Zhang has something to do with me?"
"It's okay, just casually asking, when will the second volume of our "Journey to the West" be released?"
"Probably after the Lantern Festival."
Zhang Xu stroked his palms: "Ms. Kou is happy! Cough, but it's still early for the Lantern Festival. Can Ms. Kou reveal what happened to the monkey after it was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain?"
"Yes, did the monkey escape and take revenge?" the supervisors asked one after another.
Xin You casually glanced over these teenagers, and her eyes fell on one boy and did not move.
The young man stood at the outermost edge, his body and appearance were ordinary, but Xin You, who was used to seeing all kinds of pictures, changed his face.
In the picture that suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, the boy was hit by a wall that collapsed, only his head and face were exposed.
But this is not the main reason why Xinyou didn't control her expression well in front of people. What really shocked her was the large collapsed houses in the background in the picture, and how many people were buried and smashed.
This is not the accident of one person, but the disaster of many!
There were so many people crowded in the study hall, but Xin You felt cold to the bone.
This is the first time she has seen so many people killed and injured, which made her unable to keep her expression on.
