Facing Deputy Commander Han's question, He Qingxiao looked indifferent: "Deputy Commander Han really wants to embarrass Qingsong Bookstore?"

Deputy Commander Han's complexion changed slightly, and his tone revealed a warning: "Master He stretched his hands too far, right?"

"Is the hand stretched out?" He Qingxiao said in a low voice, and stretched out his hand.

It was a very young hand, slender and fair, with well-defined joints, but there was a callus on the tiger's mouth due to holding the knife for a long time.

He Qingxiao looked at Deputy Commander Han and smiled, lowering his voice: "Deputy Commander Han doesn't understand, or has he forgotten? Jin Linwei's hand stretched out very long."

"You—" Deputy Commander Han suddenly gasped, grinning in pain, and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Deputy Commander Han's embarrassment made He Qingxiao more calm: "Deputy Commander Han also heard what everyone said just now. "Painted Skin" is not a demon book. There is no reason for you soldiers and horses to bring people to hand over the book. If Deputy Commander Han doesn't want to be left behind Don’t waste time here because of the notoriety of oppressing the common people, go back and heal your foot injury earlier.”

Speaking of this, He Qingxiao glanced at Deputy Commander Han's injured foot: "Deputy Commander Han's injury is not serious, if it is delayed for a long time, it will be bad if he becomes disabled."

Deputy Commander Han clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go!"

The subordinate who had been supporting him hastily moved his hand up, but he yelled: "Idiot, you don't know how to carry me behind your back!"

The subordinate who was scolded did not dare to say anything, leaned over and carried Deputy Commander Han on his back, and then took two steps in the direction of Bingma Si and was scolded again.

"Idiot, go to the hospital first!"

A team of officers headed towards the hospital under Deputy Commander Han's cursing, leaving the officer who caused trouble kneeling on the ground with a bewildered expression, until everyone's eyes were on him, and he quickly got up and ran away.

The people who watched the excitement watched this scene, feeling inexplicably refreshed.

Hehe, the poor man who has always been showing off his power in front of them, has never seen such a bad luck.

He Qingxiao ordered his subordinates: "You guys move the boards back to the printing workshop, be careful not to bump them."

Shopkeeper Hu hurriedly said, "No way, no way, we will do it ourselves."

Manager Zhao hurriedly yelled: "What are you doing stupidly, take our board back!"

So the craftsmen and Jin Linwei carefully picked up the book boards that fell on the ground.

"Master He, come in and have a cup of tea." Xin You invited.

He Qingxiao followed Xin You into the bookstore and into the reception room.

The aroma of tea wafted up, and the person sitting across from her was the familiar face of Xin You again.

"Thank you, Mr. He, today."

It was a surprise to be able to keep the "Painted Skin" board.

Speaking of which, Mr. He has helped her many times, but she has not reciprocated.

"How busy is Master He today?"

He Qingxiao asked with eyes revealing.

"If Mr. He has time, I will invite you to Fengweilou for dinner."

Fengweilou is one of the best restaurants in Beijing. The taste is impeccable. The only disadvantage is that it is expensive.

He Qingxiao...Of course I haven't been there.

"Miss Kou, you're welcome."

"Master He must let me express my gratitude, otherwise I will feel uneasy."

He Qingxiao hesitated for a moment, a little worried that going to a restaurant for dinner together would be bad for Miss Kou, but those sincere and open eyes still made him nod: "Then it's disrespectful."

Seeing that He Qingxiao agreed, Xin You bent her lips and smiled, and asked Deputy Commander Han: "Does Master He know the origin of Deputy Commander Han?"

Thanks to Jinlinwei's status as the governor of Jinlinwei, a deputy commander of the army and horses seems inconspicuous among the hundreds of officials, but He Qingxiao is clear: "Deputy commander Han is named Han Dongming, and he comes from an ordinary background, but he His wife is the clan niece of Uncle Guchang."

Uncle Gu Chang——Xin You murmured these three words in her heart, and what appeared in her mind was the image of a beauty in a palace costume being furious.

Uncle Gu's clan niece is naturally also Concubine Shu's clan niece.Qingsong Bookstore's troubles today are most likely caused by Concubine Shu.

"Deputy Commander Han came here aggressively today, isn't it really for order and stability?"

Regarding Concubine Shu's anger, He Qingxiao has no way of knowing, but his guess is very close to Xin You's deduction: "Han Dongming will not seek trouble at Qingsong Bookstore for no reason. The rumors about "Painted Skin" in the past have offended the empress in the palace."

"Master He is talking about Concubine Shu?" Xin You felt admiration in his eyes.

Unlike her being able to see some pictures, Jin Linwei can't control the harem, which shows Master He's sensitivity.

The look in her eyes warmed the face of the eloquent young man: "I'm just guessing, as long as Miss Kou has an idea in mind."

"Then what about the person who died at the gate of the Imperial College? Could it be related to that empress?" Xin You kept talking to this point, and hurriedly asked about the murder case that the whole capital was concerned about.

He Qingxiao was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "It shouldn't matter much. There has been some progress in this case, and I believe the truth will come to light."

"This murder has involved Qingsong Bookstore in a whirlpool. If Mr. He learns anything later, please let me know at your convenience."

"Okay." He Qingxiao agreed without hesitation.

When he went to Fengwei Building, He Qingxiao silently glanced at the old shopkeeper who was following Xin You, feeling amused by his previous hesitation.

Shopkeeper Hu looked respectful on the surface, but he was a little worried in his heart.

Could it be that what that boy Liu Zhou said, the boss wants to be with Mr. He?

If this woman gets married, she will give birth to a baby, and after giving birth to a baby, she will have to raise a baby. After a few years, she will have a baby again, and after giving birth, she will have to raise a baby...

What about the bookstore?Their bookstore is inseparable from the owner!
No, he has to keep an eye on it today, and look for opportunities to persuade his boss later.You're still young, don't worry!

Therefore, Master He didn't say a few words with Xin You during the whole meal, and was toasted by the old shopkeeper every time he started a conversation.

Thinking that he still had business to do in the afternoon, He Qingxiao had no choice but to talk less and eat more.

Seeing He Qingxiao sinking his head into eating hard, Xin You felt sympathy in his eyes.

It seems that Mr. He is really poor...

"Xiao Er, serve two cages of crab roe buns."

He Qingxiao stopped holding the chopsticks.

This meal took longer than expected.

Shopkeeper Hu's hand holding the wine glass also gave a pause.

Why do you still add vegetables!

Different from the weird atmosphere in the private room, in the Yaxin bookstore, the shopkeeper Gu sat on a chair with slightly squinted eyes, humming an out-of-tune tune.

Although it's a pity that I didn't see the excitement of "Painted Skin" being smashed, the mood is still good.

So what if the board is kept?Not out of business yet.

Yaxin Bookstore?Although Yaxin Bookstore is not in business, as long as the opponent fails, there is always a chance to improve in the future.

Shopkeeper Gu was thinking happily, when suddenly he heard the assistant's trembling voice: "The shopkeeper——"

"What?" Shopkeeper Gu raised his eyelids, his eyes widened when he saw the two young men in front of him, and then he saw the waist card one of them held up.

The words "Jinlinwei" shocked his pupils, and he stood up abruptly.
