The Journey of the Playboy

Changgui was the first to discover it.

He was careful and keenly noticed that the way passers-by looked at his Lord Hou just now was not quite right.

As for what is wrong, I can't tell.

Ordinary people look at Lord Hou, how should I put it, when colleagues look at him, their eyes are relatively flat, but when ordinary people look at him, there is a kind of awe in their eyes.

But this passer-by felt like he wanted to dig out something from it.

Of course, maybe he is overthinking, there are many strange people in this world.

But, he met the second one again.

It's still the same look, that kind of weird, weird look that makes people inexplicable.

There was something wrong with that.

As a caring long-term follower, it is natural to find out the situation before reporting, so as not to ask questions.

As a result, he inquired carefully, something bad happened!

What?There is even a book that arranges him and the mistress!

It is said that this book is quite popular, and it is quite easy to find out after a little inquiring.

"On the east side of Baifang Street, near Liushu Hutong, there is a Tongya Bookstore. I bought it there." A scholar enthusiastically pointed out the way.

When Chang Gui heard this, he had to drive quickly.

The scholar looked at the background of Chang Gui driving away, and couldn't help being messed up in the wind. This guy, it's so rude, he didn't even say thank you!

When he reached the door of the bookstore, he almost killed Chang Gui with anger.

""Chang Gui's Counterattack" is on sale in my bookstore. Buy it quickly." Outside the bookstore, there is a big wooden sign with a piece of red paper on it, and there are a few big characters written on the red paper.

But this is not the time to be angry, Chang Gui hurriedly bought a copy and read it again.

Let me go, it was his handwriting that Zheng Shi and Hou Ye achieved good things in the past, the son that Zheng Shi gave birth to was his flesh and blood, the disappearance of the young master of the Hou Mansion was his handwriting, and so on.

Except that the affair between him and Mrs. Zheng is fake, everything else seems to be true.

No, that clansman's death seemed to be an accident, and it had nothing to do with him.

Chang Gui was wronged to death, Mrs. Zheng, he has never touched the edge, how did it spread that the second young master became his own?

I don't know which bastard's villain is so slandering him!If he finds out, he will definitely tear this person to pieces!

No, we have to stop the publication of this book as soon as possible. If it spreads too widely, it will not reach Master Hou's ears one day.

The key is this kind of thing, as long as it is stained, it is hard to tell.

I just want to prove my innocence, how can I prove it?There is no way to prove it.

I also know that when the time comes, I might lose my life.Even if he can keep it, Lord Hou will feel that he is indifferent and will send him away in the future.

In fact, it is quite dangerous now.

Fortunately, although some people had some doubts about his Lord Hou, they didn't point it out.

After all, this kind of thing is not something glorious, maybe people are also afraid that his family Hou Ye will turn his face.

It is not ruled out that some people may want to see Hou Ye's jokes.

Anyway, this situation is not a bad thing for him, as long as these people don't talk too much.

What he has to do now is to quickly find a way to suppress this matter.

Fortunately, he discovered it early. I heard that the book was only sold yesterday.Not many people know about it.

After this book is banned, after a while, there will be new gossip about the emperor, and it will gradually fade away.

As for the servants in the mansion, he should be able to withstand the shock, I believe they dare not talk too much.After all, no one who talks about this kind of arrangement of the mistress may have a good end.

Chang Gui hurried back to the mansion, found Mrs. Zheng privately, and mentioned the book.

"What? You said someone arranged for you and me?" Zheng frowned.What kind of bastard is this, who lacked eight lifetimes of virtue, to do such a thing.

"Yes. He also talked about the disappearance of the young master..." Said it was you and me who were the mastermind.The point is that this is true.

"Who wrote this book?" Zheng Shi couldn't help asking.

"I don't know." He talked to the shopkeeper for a long time, but nothing came out.

"What is the origin of that bookstore?"

"It seems to be the business of Prince Jing's Mansion."

"Well, I'll give you 5000 taels of silver, go to the shopkeeper, and make sure he promises not to sell this book in the future." Since it's a business from King Jing's Mansion, I only bought peace with silver.Zheng Shi also understands that it won't do her any good if this matter gets bigger.

"Yes."

Changgui did not commit any corruption, so he just walked over with the 5000 taels of silver.Otherwise, saving my life first is more important than anything else.The key is to make the shopkeeper of the bookstore willing to let them go.

As soon as the shopkeeper heard Chang Gui's intention, he understood that the person in front of him might be called Chang Gui.Even if he is not called Changgui, he must know Changgui.

"5000 taels?" The shopkeeper looked at the bank note that Chang Gui handed over... He was not happy.

"This book is very popular now. It costs two taels of silver per copy. Our shop has sold a thousand copies. There are still two thousand copies in the shop. This is 4000 taels. When it is sold out, we will print another batch. If you can earn a few thousand taels, you can bring over 5000 taels and want to buy out our book!"

"You'd better take this bank note back." The shopkeeper looked at the bank note disdainfully (reluctantly), and handed it back to Chang Gui.

The shopkeeper looked at Changgui, and couldn't calm down for a long time. In this world, there is such an arrogant person!

Think he is a fool?They want to accept his 5000 taels of silver without serious ways of making money?Wouldn't that be like throwing a big watermelon and picking up sesame seeds?

So, Chang Gui came back with the 5000 taels of silver. On the way, he couldn't help complaining to Mrs. Zheng in his heart.This is all burning eyebrows.Why are you still so stingy?

You have become Mrs. Hou from the daughter of a magistrate's family in a remote county, and your younger sister has also chosen the concubine through the Anyang Hou Mansion. You have also given birth to the sixth prince safely and become the prince's aunt. The benefits are not worth mentioning. not big.

Why would you risk your life over your money?ah?

"If you go back to Madam, the other party said that you want 3 taels of silver." Chang Gui was also a little angry, and felt that it would be better for him to say more.It saves him from haggling with the bookstore again and again.

He had an intuition that next time, if the money he brought met the bookstore's expectation, maybe the bookstore would still be able to trade.If he still fails to meet people's expectations, if he looks for him again, he may not be bothered.

He also received the look in the eyes of the shopkeeper of the bookstore just now, and he felt it deeply. He was saying: Sigh!Just this little money, you sent the beggar!

The key is that time does not wait for me. If you come and go, you will delay things, and how many books the other party will sell.

It's all this time, if the matter gets to Lord Hou, he may lose his life because of it, so will Mrs. Zheng do anything good?

She also has the possibility of dying of illness, okay?

Hearing this amount, Mrs. Zheng took a deep breath. 3 taels, this is not 1 taels, let alone 3000 taels, 300 taels, it is 3 taels!

Damn!What's the difference between this and Ming Qiang?The shopkeeper of a mere small bookstore really dared to open his mouth wide, and he was not afraid of dying!

Zheng sat on the chair and thought for a while.

What else can I do?

The situation is stronger than people, so give it first.Who made King Jing stand behind them?

King Jing is a thug, he had a conflict with him over money, he dared to ask someone to come to your door directly.

Didn't she spend a lot of money to seal the mouth of the bookstore because she hoped that the book would not be passed down?

Hold back, hold back!

A small leak will sink a great ship.

"Give it to him! It's just that the unsold books in his shop have to be given to us. We will bring them all back and burn them all."

"Yes."

Regardless of the 3 taels of silver, Chang Gui still didn't dare to think about corruption. It was obvious that the shopkeeper of the bookstore had a big appetite, and he didn't dare to take it lightly.

Anyway, it's business to get this over with.

Seeing Changgui coming again, the shopkeeper was also curious about how much money he could give this time.

"This is a 3 taels of silver bill. I hope the shopkeeper will be convenient. Can you let me take away all the books that have not been sold? Besides, your store will no longer sell this book in the future?"

Chang Gui handed over the bank note.

The shopkeeper took the bank note and said to himself, this time there is a lot of money.

This book is not cheap, it costs two taels of silver a copy. In the suburbs of Beijing, a peasant household with a family of four or five would only spend two taels of silver in two or three months.The popularity of this book is good, but judging from his years of industry experience, it would be enough to sell only 2 copies, or [-] taels.

But the 2 taels also includes paper costs, ink costs, and workers' wages.It's all money.Deduction of these is the actual profit.

3 taels is definitely a very sincere price.

"Huh?" The shopkeeper collected the bank notes, and stretched out his hand to Chang Gui.

Changgui was puzzled.

The shopkeeper was not happy when he saw it.Xin said, I will definitely hand over all the 3 taels to the master. After all, this bookstore belongs to the master, and you are willing to come here for me to discuss and discuss, which is also to see the power of the master.

But as the shopkeeper, he also has dignity!You can't use bean buns as dry food.You don't want a penny to mean it, what do you mean?Um?

After all, Chang Gui had been running outside for so many years, so he didn't understand it at the time, and after a while, he came to his senses.

Damn, this shopkeeper is insatiable, but it's just because he wants something from others, that's all.

It's just that he gave all 100 yuan, and it's not bad for this trembling.He took out another [-] taels of silver from his own private house and gave it to the shopkeeper respectfully.

"Brother, please help me."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Seeing Chang Gui said so.The shopkeeper took the banknote, smiling like a flower on his face, it was brilliant.

"As I said, there are still 950 copies. Since you left, another [-] copies have been sold. Now there are [-] copies left. You can take them all away."

The shopkeeper waved his hand boldly.

Chang Gui quickly found someone to take away the books, went to the suburbs, lit a fire, and burned it.

Looking at the raging fire in the suburbs, Chang Gui felt a little more at ease.

As soon as he got home, he saw the Seventh Old Master and Seventh Old Lady of the clan calling at the door with a group of servants from the family.

"Wei Qian, Mrs. Zheng, you give back my grandson! Give back my grandson!"
