The next day.
Chen Yong was still in his sleep when suddenly, there was a hurried knock on the door.""Sir! Sir!"
He had a good chat with Ning Zhiyu yesterday and couldn't help but drink a little more. His head still hurt!
Who was it?
Knocking on the door so early, really annoying!
Didn't she know that he was angry when he woke up?
Creak!
He opened the door and saw that it was the inn's waiter.
"Sir, Shopkeeper Liu of Qingtian Bookstore left you a note saying that he has something urgent to see you about!”
"It's at the entrance of the library!"
"I understand."
Chen Yong washed his face with cold water, and only then did he wake up a little.
He looked at the note. The handwriting was blurry and the paper was wrinkled. It was obvious that he had written it in a hurry.
"What's going on?"
Shopkeeper Liu was a calm person.
When he arrived at the Heavenly Street, he suddenly smelled the smell of burnt beard. The Qingtian Book House was surrounded by the bailiffs of the Five Cities 'Military Department.
The library had already turned pitch-black, and most of the buildings had been reduced to ruins. Even the signboard had been burnt to black charcoal!
"What's going on?" The passersby pointed at him.”
"It seems like it got wet last night!”
"The fire is quite big. All the books inside have been burned!”
"Fire? This had never happened before. Is there a thief?"
"I don't think so. Just now, the people from the Military Department took out a box of copper coins. They were all fused together and couldn't be used anymore.”
"The thief is here. How can he not be tempted by so many copper coins?”
"That's true!"
"It's all thanks to the immediate control. Otherwise, it would have implicated the other families!”
"Let's go, let's go. We have to be more careful in the future.”
Shopkeeper Liu and the bailiffs of the Five Cities 'Military Department were giving instructions.
He clearly hadn't done anything, yet the people of the five cities 'Military Department insisted that he hadn't turned off the lights yesterday and demanded a fine of three taels of silver!
"Someone obviously set the fire on purpose. I must have put out the lights last night!”
No matter what he said, the people from the Five Cities Military Department would only say one thing: "Pay up!"
He was threatening her both openly and secretly.
Shopkeeper Liu argued for a long time before sending these people away. He was still cursing,"These bastards!"
"Do you really think I'm a pushover?”
He saw Chen Yong at the side and then slightly restrained himself. He tidied up his clothes and walked over with a bitter smile on his face."Mr. Liao Zhai, you saw it too.”
"The shop suddenly caught fire last night!”
"Was it intentionally pointed out?" asked Chen Yong.”
"I guess so. The bookstore has been open for four years, and this kind of problem has never happened!”
"Do you know who it is?"
"It's probably those Hanlin scholars. Du Shiniang angrily sank the treasure chest and angered them!”
Chen Yong suddenly thought of Yan Donglou and Zhou Ji.
With the character of that second generation heir, he could do such a thing!
"Mr. Liao Zhai, don't worry. Although the shop has been burned down, the books can still be printed.”
"The boss has more than one shop!”
" Yesterday at the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, I saw Li Jia's good friend Yan Donglou and Jiang Xiahou's son Zhou Ji walking together. They were drunk at that time and said that they wanted to burn down the shop!" Chen Yong said.”
"It should be them."
"Zhou Dexing's son?" Shopkeeper Liu was stunned.”
"Then it might really be him. Now that Ying Tian had curfew regulations, there were only a few people who could secretly break the curfew!”
"Don't you want to take revenge for the shop being burned down?" asked Chen Yong.”
"Revenge? Jiang Xiahou?"
Chen Yong handed over a book with three words written on it: "Peach Blossom Fan!"
"This is…"
When Shopkeeper Liu opened the book, his heart suddenly jumped. He couldn't believe what he had seen and hurriedly closed it."Is this true?"
"Of course!"
"How did Mr. Liao Zhai know?"
"I've seen people who have experienced it before, and I've done some private research. Don't worry, it's 100% true!”
"Also, the person in my book is called Zhou Ji. What does he have to do with Zhou Ji?”
Even if you say so
Shopkeeper Liu took a few more glances. This was much more exciting than Du Shiniang sinking the treasure chest in anger!
"I have to talk to my boss."
"Yes!"
It was human nature.
Shopkeeper Liu wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. Looking at Chen Yong's departing back, he muttered,"Scholars are still ruthless!"
With that, he walked towards the west of the city.
The southern part of the city was the most prosperous place in Ying Tian. The western part of the city was relatively desolate because of the blockage of Jin Chuan Gate. There were even farmlands inside.
He came to a remote place. It was surrounded by a simple fence. Even the house was made of straw.
Pushing open the door, he saw a farmer wrapping the ground with a stick.
"Boss!"
They couldn't believe that this farmer was actually Shopkeeper Liu's boss!
"What's wrong?"
"There's a book here. I don't know if I should publish it, so I came to ask for permission.”
Then, Shopkeeper Liu told him everything.
The farmer washed his hands, took the book, and took a look at it. His pupils suddenly constricted. The plot written in it was too shocking!
"Are you talking about Zhou Dexing's son?”
"Yes!"
"Is it true?"
"The author of this book, Mr. Liao Zhai, is very sure that Zhou Ji has indeed been hiding his tail between his legs recently. In the eleventh year of Hongwu, he also went to Zhejiang to eliminate the Japanese pirates.”
The boss took a few deep breaths and his eyes flashed with an inexplicable light."Have you made any progress on the matter I asked you to do?”
"Boss, I'm really ashamed that I still haven't lured him out.”
"Yes! According to my private investigation, Zhou Dexing was definitely involved in the incident back then!”
"I'll teach him a lesson this time!"
"When my father was alive, he took it upon himself to admonish and admonish. Because of this, he offended many people!”
"Although I don't have his strength of character, I won't keep quiet about this matter!”
"Boss, what do you mean?" Shopkeeper Liu asked.”
"Didn't Mr. Liao Zhai say so? What day of the week was written in his book? What did it have to do with Zhou Dexing's son?”
"Send!"
"I know!"
(There should be seven today)
