Ci Jinzhi

The military and horse divisions of the five cities in central Beijing are in charge of security matters such as patrols, theft, and fire bans. The Guozijian is located in Dongcheng, and it 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, and his face remained 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 seemed 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 Xinyou heard the heated discussion.

"Have you heard, "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 we 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 her. If she really wants to come out of the book to 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 all these troubles, and the book must be handed over." Deputy Commander Han stared closely at the calm young girl, "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 stunned, never expecting this result.

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 is gone!

In the crowd, someone's voice sounded: "That's right, 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.

It was 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 calmly: "The craftsmen worked very hard to print books non-stop before. They stopped to rest a few days ago, and the book printing workshop didn't have a finished "Painted Skin"."

"Isn't it a coincidence that the finished product was sold out and printing stopped?"

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."

Several officials went straight to the printing shop, darting from one hall to another, randomly grabbing the paper spread on the table for inspection.

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

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

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" like in the past few days-- 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 book printing house is printing is not "Painted Skin"."

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

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

The craftsmen came out carrying the big box, and one of the craftsmen suddenly staggered, 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 also turned pale with anger.

Those stereotypes are all the painstaking efforts of the bookstore, carved out stroke by stroke by the craftsmen, 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 wants to destroy the foundation of my bookstore just because of some rumors. Do you want me to cooperate with a smiling face? "

"Then Miss Kou is 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" book board is still affordable. If she doesn't see that picture, she doesn't mind cooperating with it, and get out of here quickly instead of these wolf dogs.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.

It's better to let Deputy Commander Han's men go down and move it.
