MTL - Ci Jinzhi-Chapter 110 make things difficult

  The military and horse divisions of the five cities in Beijing are in charge of security matters such as patrols, theft, and fire bans. The Guozijian is located in Dongcheng and is under the jurisdiction of the Dongcheng military and horse divisions.

  Xin You could hear the strong malice in the tone of the leading officer, but his face was still calm: "Dare to ask the officer, what happened to our bookstore? Why did you clean up "Painted Skin"?"

   A person following behind the leading officer shouted: "Don't shout, this is our Deputy Commander Han!"

   "Master Han." Xin You politely changed her address.

Deputy Commander Han didn't soften his attitude because of Xin You's politeness, and said sullenly, "Your bookstore spread the demon books, which caused panic in the capital, and there were people who set fire to books everywhere, causing dozens of fires in just two days. A fire caused even more casualties. In order to restore the stability of the capital, these demon books must be confiscated, and I hope Miss Kou will cooperate."

  Xin You raised her eyebrows when she heard the last word.

  She reported her family name only as the owner of the bookstore, but the other party called her Miss Kou. It seems that she knew about Miss Kou's deeds. Leaving aside Miss Kou's identity as the niece of Taipusi Shaoqing, the matter of saving the eldest princess's beloved daughter has just passed.

   People who are deceived by rumors burn books and cause fires. Whether the bookstore will be in trouble depends entirely on what the people in Bingmasi think. Saying that it is irrelevant, the bookstore is a disaster for no reason, insisting that it is related, can also cause trouble. The soldiers and horses ignored the connections behind Miss Kou and seemed to enforce the law impartially, but in fact it just showed that there was a problem.

  The noise made by Bingmasi had already attracted countless people to watch the excitement, and Xin You heard the heated discussion.

   "Did you hear, "Painted Skin" is a demon book!"

   "It's really scary. Yesterday I asked my kid to burn the book, but the brat just wouldn't listen."

  …

   "Miss Kou, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and clear out the demon books. It won't be good if you break something when we do it." Deputy Commander Han urged coldly.

Xin You and Deputy Commander Han looked at each other coldly, and said slightly, "Painted Skin is just a very ordinary ghost story. If there is something unusual about it, it is probably because it is very good-looking. Almost everyone who loves to read story books has a copy. "Painted Skin" has sold tens of thousands of copies. If it is true that there will be evil spirits coming out of the book to harm people as rumored, will the evil spirits move too slowly? gone?"

  The spectators nodded subconsciously when they heard it.

   It makes sense. The female ghost in "Painted Skin" is so powerful that even a Taoist priest's whisk can't stop it. If she really wants to escape from the book and harm others, it won't just take out one person's heart, right?

  Deputy Commander Han sneered: "Miss Kou is really eloquent!"

   "Minnv just speaks from the heart."

   "No matter what, it is a fact that "Painted Skin" has caused these troubles, and the book must be handed over." Deputy Commander Han stared closely at the group of calm girls, "Is Miss Kou going to resist the government?"

   "Minnv dare not. Minnv understands Lord Han's worry, but there is no need to clean up the books."

  Deputy Commander Han raised his eyebrows, waiting to see how the girl in front of him would evade.

  Xin You smiled: "Because "Painted Skin" is so popular, it has already been sold out."

   "Sold out?" Deputy Commander Han was taken aback, never expecting this result.

  Besides, Liu Zhou boldly interjected: "Our bookstore doesn't even have a copy of "Painted Skin"."

  When I was distressed and worried that the book was about to be sold out, I never thought that one day I would be so relieved to say that the book was gone!

  In the crowd, someone's voice sounded: "Yes, my friends and I went to buy "Painted Skin" yesterday, but we didn't buy it. It caused me to buy a collection of poems at random, and fell asleep after reading it when I went back."

  Deputy Commander Han came back to his senses, looking at the girl with a smile on her lips, feeling indescribably aggrieved.

  Sold out by such a coincidence?

   "Go and check." Deputy Commander Han ordered his subordinates.

  Several subordinates quickly walked into the bookstore to check, and came out empty-handed. One of them replied: "My lord, I didn't find "Painted Skin" on the shelf."

  Deputy Commander Han stared at Xin You with burning eyes: "Is the book printing house behind your bookstore?"

  Xin You heard what the other party meant, and said in a calm and unhurried manner: "The craftsmen worked very hard to print books non-stop before. They stopped to rest a few days ago, and the book printing house didn't have a finished "Painted Skin"."

   "The finished product is sold out, and the printing has also stopped. Isn't it a coincidence?"

  Xin You smiled: "That's true. For women, although making money is important, it shouldn't tire people out."

   "Go and see!" Deputy Commander Han didn't believe it at all, and raised his chin at his subordinates.

   Shopkeeper Hu was worried that these officials would go on the rampage and sabotage, so he glanced anxiously at Xin You, saw her nod slightly, and hurriedly said, "Xiaomin will lead the way for the servants."

  Several officials went straight to the printing house, darted from one hall to another, randomly grabbed the paper spread on the table and inspected it.

  The craftsmen were at a loss and dared not say a word.

   Shopkeeper Hu looked at the shuffled paper with distress and joy.

   Fortunately, considering the sales volume of these books, there are generally not many copies of these books, even if they are ruined by these people, the loss is not too big. If it was full of "Painted Skin" as it was a few days ago—the shopkeeper Hu shuddered, and didn't dare to think about it at all.

  After such a destructive inspection, several officials sent out to return to their orders.

   "My lord, what the printing house is printing is not "Painted Skin"."

  Getting this answer, Deputy Commander Han looked at Xin You with a serious expression.

  Xin You's eyes flickered slightly, and a picture suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

  The craftsmen came out with the big box in their arms. One of the craftsmen stumbled suddenly, and all the boards contained in the box fell on Deputy Commander Han.

   "There is no printed booklet, so "Painted Skin" is always rigid?" Deputy Commander Han asked coolly.

  Xin You regained consciousness and did not deny it: "Of course there are."

  The other party really killed them all, no book was found, and they had a rigid idea.

   "These stereotypes are hidden dangers. Let your craftsmen move out the stereotypes, and they must be publicly destroyed today!"

   "It's too much!" Liu Zhou couldn't help shouting.

   Shopkeeper Hu was also livid with anger.

   Those stereotypes are all the painstaking efforts of the bookstore, carved by the craftsmen stroke by stroke, these dog officials are really deceiving people too much.

  Deputy Commander Han glanced at Liu Zhou, and asked Xin You coldly: "Why, Miss Kou doesn't want to cooperate?"

The girl with a polite smile on her face finally turned cold: "Anyone who runs a bookstore knows that the book board is the foundation of a bookstore. Mr. Han is going to destroy the foundation of my bookstore just because of some rumors. Do you want me to cooperate with a smiling face? "

   "Is Miss Kou going to fight against my Bing Ma Si?"

  Xin You sneered: "Minnv dare not. Master Han insists on this, then take out the book board and destroy it yourself, let me use my own people to destroy my foundation, Minnv can't do it!"

  The loss of the "Painted Skin" board is still affordable. If she doesn't see that picture, she doesn't mind cooperating with it. Instead of these wolf dogs, hurry up and get out. But Deputy Commander Han didn't know the consequences of being hit by such a heavy box. She couldn't let the craftsmen get into trouble.

  Let Deputy Commander Han's men move it.
