"Zhonglian!" Luo Xin called out.

"Master Hou!" Lu Zhonglian immediately appeared in front of Luo Xin.

"Zhong Lian, you go to Zhuangyuan Bookstore immediately and tell Song Tai that I will go to him at midnight tonight. Be careful not to be followed, this matter should be kept secret."

"Yes!"

Lu Zhonglian left in a hurry, first went to Dongshi, walked around Dongshi for a while, and after confirming that no one was following him, he immediately turned around and walked towards Zhuangyuan Bookstore.

But Luo Xin had already arrived in Jinyang Academy at this time, he came quietly, without disturbing anyone, came to his study in Jinyang Academy, and took out a handwritten book from a cabinet.That is the original version of "Confucianism and Mencius".He would naturally keep one copy, but gave the other to Sun Jixian.

Carrying this "Confucian and Mencius Combination" in his arms, he quietly left Jinyang Academy and returned to the place where Lu Daqing and the others lived. After entering the study, he called out:
"Daqing, take care of pen and ink!"

In the study, Luo Xin ordered, Lu Daqing hurriedly prepared the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and when he was ready, Luo Xin began to copy the book.It was not until nearly midnight that Luo Xin finished copying the "Combination of Confucius and Mencius".Then he put the manuscript away, put the copied "Confucius and Mencius in One Bi" in his arms, opened the door and walked out.

"Master Hou!" Lu Zhonglian, Lu Daqing and Liang Dazhu stood in front of the door.Luo Xin waved his hands and said, "You guys stay at home."

After saying that, Luo Xin came to the base of the wall, leaned forward, put his hands on the top of the wall, and looked outside with his head.There is a curfew in Jinyang Mansion at night, Luo Xin looked around and saw that there was no one there, so he turned over the wall with both hands, walked quickly in the shadows, and sneaked towards the Zhuangyuan Bookstore.

In the courtyard, the three of Lu Daqing looked at the empty wall, their faces full of worry.But the three of them could do nothing, they just stood there and waited for Luo Xin to come back.

Luo Xin appeared at the back door of Zhuangyuan Bookstore, and tapped lightly with his fingers.The door opened quickly, and Song Tai's face appeared inside, and Luo Xin entered in a flash.The two walked into the room in silence, an oil lamp gave off a dim light, Song Tai looked at Luo Dao:
"What happened?"

Luo Xin pondered for a while and said: "Brother Song, I need your help."

"Please tell me!" Song Tai puffed out his chest, but there was still a nervous look on his face. Luo Xin's midnight visit must be a big deal.

"This matter is also very risky for you. Maybe you will get revenge and cause your family to be destroyed. Are you sure you want to help me?"

Song Tai's expression was stagnant, and he said softly: "Master Hou, you...are you trying to rebel?"

Luo Xin was annoyed, and glared at him sullenly, "I don't want to die yet!"

"That's good! That's good!" Song Tai patted his heart, and said with a relaxed expression: "As long as it's not a rebellion, I will definitely help Lord Hou."

Luo Xin shook his head and said, "You wait for me to finish the matter before you decide whether to help me or not. If you help me, I, Luo Xin, will swear next time that I will never forget Brother Song's kindness today. If you don't help me, please ask Song to help me." Brother keep your mouth shut, just pretend I haven't been here tonight."

Luo Xin didn't want to hide this from Song Tai at this time, because if he concealed this matter, there would be countless doubts for Song Tai to doubt, which would make Song Tai refuse instead.It's better to tell the risk, it depends on whether Song Tai dares to bet on Luo Xin's prosperity in the future, and tie himself with Luo Xin.

Everything in the world is that the greater the risk, the greater the benefit.As a businessman, Song Tai should be understood by everyone.Therefore, Luo Xin told Song Tai exactly what happened.

"Despicable!" After listening to Luo Xin's narration, Song Tai gritted his teeth and said, "What is the difference between Xu Jie and Yan Song?"

"my plan……"

Luo Xin told Song Tai about his plan again.Then watching Song Tai stop talking, Song Tai also fell into deep thought, with some hesitation in his expression.Luo Xin looked at Song Tai and sighed softly:

"Brother Song, I want to remind you. Even if we force Xu Jie to contribute as we wish this time, and finally move to Yansong. But the enmity between Xu Jie and I has also been forged. In the future, Xu Jie will not only try his best to suppress me, but I'm afraid it will be against you. It will also retaliate. And can you sell "Confucianism and Mencius" all over the country?"

"There is no problem with this!" Song Tai said with a smile on his face: "Thanks to Lord Hou, I am now the second shopkeeper of the Zhuangyuan Bookstore, and the big shopkeeper has delegated power to me to take care of the bookstore's affairs. He also specially told me, I will try my best to meet all the demands of Lord Hou."

"Then Brother Song's decision?"

"Done!" Song Tai slapped the table and said, "I've thought about it, if I can't take Yan Song down this time, I will die with you, Lord Hou. If you move to Yan Song, then the book "The Combination of Confucius and Mencius" must be I will be famous, and I am the biggest contributor to the publication of "Confucianism and Mencius". Xu Jie dare not risk the dissatisfaction of the world and persecute me. Even if he hates me in his heart, he will not target me immediately, he will always look for opportunities , and will wait for this matter to calm down, which will take several years.

Big deal, after this incident, I will hide in Hou Ye's mansion who doesn't like you, will Hou Ye not take me in?And I think once Yan Song is overthrown this time, there will be a battle between Hou Ye and Xu Jie. I am optimistic about Hou Ye. "

Needless to say, Song Tai's words have already indicated that he will be attached to Luo Xin in the future. The higher Luo Xin's official position is, the more he will benefit, otherwise he will be unlucky with Luo Xin.

Ever since Lu Buwei made that kind of gamble, businessmen all over the world are dreaming that one day they can learn from Lu Buwei, just like Shen Wansan back then.

Although Luo Xin can't take the throne of king now, Song Tai is not Lu Buwei either.This is a kind of gamble, he is betting that Luo Xin has a bright future, so he will rise with the tide.

Luo Xin immediately stood up, bowed to Song Tai and said, "Thank you Brother Song for your help."

"Master Hou, please don't be too polite, this is not difficult for me to do!"

"It's not difficult!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "But the risk is not small."

"But the payoff can be huge too!"

"Hahaha……"

Both of them laughed out loud.

"Whoosh..."

A figure came over from the wall.

"Hou Ye!" Lu Zhonglian, Liang Dazhu and Lu Daqing rushed forward.

"Zhonglian, Dazhu, follow me."

Luo Xin stepped into the study, followed by Lu Zhonglian and Liang Dazhu, and Lu Daqing was busy making tea for Luo Xin.Luo Xin looked at Liang Dazhu and said:

"Dazhu, you will be in Yanglin County tomorrow, and I have two boxes of gold in my study. You send the box of gold above to Zhuangyuan Bookstore, and Song Tai will accept it. This matter must be kept secret. Don't let people see the cost of "Meng Hebi", and then go through the back door of Zhuangyuan Bookstore."
