Chapter 1099 The Deal is Completed

Lin Yuesha lowered her head to sip her tea, but in her heart she thought that Qi Heng had many capable people under his command, all of whom were discovered from the details. Xiao Wu was courageous and meticulous, and was indeed a rare talent.

The couple is currently facing a serious problem. They had originally planned to leave Wuzhou first, but Xiao Wu disrupted their plans last night, alerting the enemy. They don't know if Prefect Shen will take any further action.

"Look, my wife."

As Qi Heng spoke, he pulled a thick booklet from his sleeve pocket. It contained clear records of the key evidence of Prefect Shen's crimes in the warhorse business.

Xiao Wu stole it from the horse farm, but Prefect Shen's men were too busy looking for the register to make a fuss.

This was largely thanks to the fact that Prefect Shen's subordinates were timid and cowardly, always thinking about exonerating themselves and covering up their crimes. Otherwise, if Prefect Shen had known that his incriminating evidence had been lost, he would have been furious and implicated innocent people.

"Given Prefect Shen's suspicious nature and tendency to kill the innocent rather than let the guilty go free, Wen Liang is doomed. My wife and I only had a brief encounter with Wen Liang, and we might also be implicated."

Lin Yuesha stood up, walked around with her hands behind her back, and thought about things further ahead.

Once Prefect Shen finds out, not only will he and Wen Liang be in trouble, but Wen Liang's classmates, and even the people of Sunjia Village who have lost their homes, may all be wiped out.

After all, this matter involves a wide range of issues.

Right now, this booklet cannot be returned. To cover up for Prefect Shen's foolish subordinates, a copy must be made and sent back to appease them, lest they be unable to cover it up and come to Prefect Shen to apologize.

Lin Yuesha rubbed her aching temples; she was truly worried sick.

In the past, Qingxing and Qi'er were skilled at handling trivial matters, but they couldn't do the booklet for the horse farm, so Qi Heng had to do it himself.

"Look, the back of the booklet is all written in foreign script, crooked and twisted, which I cannot imitate."

Qingxing could only understand the general idea and marveled at Xiao Wuzi's good luck, as he randomly picked up a book and happened to choose the key evidence of Prefect Shen's horse trafficking.

Judging from the foreign script on the back, it was not just about embezzlement.

Over here, Qi Heng had already prepared his brush and ink. He stared intently at the booklet, then with his wrist suspended in the air, he wrote the entire piece in one smooth motion, like flowing water.

Lin Yuesha carefully examined the text and found that what Qi Heng wrote was exactly the same as what was written in the booklet.

During Qi Heng's pause, Qing Xing quickly fanned the ink to speed up its drying. Then, Qi Heng continued to turn the page and write.

It only took Qi Heng one hour to replicate a booklet.

"Qingxing, I'm entrusting this to you. You know what to do, right?"

We cannot wait until dark; we are in a hurry. The booklet must be sent out immediately, and Prefect Shen's subordinates must also be informed.

"This servant understands."

Qingxing put the booklet in her small bundle and rode away from the inn on a fast horse.

Once Qingxing left, Lin Yuesha's tense emotions eased slightly, and she took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

"Miss, how about I accompany you for a stroll?"

Seeing Lin Yuesha's worried expression, Qi'er took the initiative to say, "Wuzhou is not only known for donkey meat, but also for its golden thread jujubes."

It wasn't the season for golden thread jujubes to ripen, but various shops sold candied golden thread jujubes and candied fruit made from them. You could buy them, put them in a small jar, and take them back to the capital.

"This servant remembers that Madam's favorite food is dates."

When Qi'er mentioned Chen Shi, Lin Yuesha nodded repeatedly, a smile appearing on her face.

"Let's go out for a walk to relax."

Lin Yuesha accepted Qi'er's suggestion, and the two of them got ready and went out for a stroll.

Wuzhou is famous for its golden thread jujubes, and there are countless shops selling candied fruit around the area. Lin Yuesha chose a shop with a lot of customers.

The candied fruit was displayed on a wooden tray lined with oil paper, making it easy to see what was on display.

"Sir, these are our signature golden thread dates. Please have a taste."

The waiter proactively brought over a tray with several toothpicks on it.

The pitted jujubes have been removed and cut into small cubes. Lin Yuesha uses a toothpick to pick up a small piece and puts it in her mouth to taste.

"Mmm, it's so sweet."

There's a reason why a shop is always thriving. Putting aside the delicious jujubes, the shopkeeper's attitude in doing business is very pleasant, no wonder the shop is always packed.

Most customers who enter the shop have the intention to buy something, and the shop assistants will take the initiative to let the customers taste the food. Most shops cannot do this.

Because those owners are very worried that someone will take advantage of them.

The candied fruit shop cuts the candied dates into small cubes, saving costs while allowing customers to taste them and find out if they suit their palate—a win-win situation.

"I want a small jar of candied dates, and the rest in bulk, some of each."

Without hesitation, Lin Yuesha tried the remaining winter melon strips and dried apricots, choosing a few flavors she liked.

Next, Lin Yuesha strolled around the bookstore, having already finished reading the storybooks she brought from Yingcheng Fishing Village.

"Shopkeeper, can we make a deal?"

Lin Yuesha, carrying the package, said, "I've looked through these storybooks. Could we exchange them for the same number?"

The storybook had been read before, but it was still very new. Lin Yuesha was willing to sell it to the shopkeeper at a depreciation rate, and she would pay a little extra to get a few new ones to read.

In the Great Qi Dynasty, books were precious items; two taels of silver per book was only enough for Lin Yuesha to read for one day.

Passing time on the road by reading is too expensive, and once you've read it, the storybook has no value as a keepsake.

The shopkeeper stroked his beard, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. He took the package from Lin Yuesha's hands first, and then his eyes lit up as he pulled out a thick book, "Tales of the Great Qi Dynasty," from the bottom.

"Young lady, I want this book. Name your price!"

The shopkeeper was so excited that his hands trembled. Yes, it was "The Great Qi Chronicles" by the dashing young master of the capital. It was currently a hot commodity in the capital, and there was no stock available in Wuzhou!

The shopkeeper had been trying to acquire this book at a high price, but it had been out of stock in the capital for a long time. Noble families had started buying collector's editions, and other bookstores wanted to use it as their prized possession. The shopkeeper didn't even have a way to purchase it.

Unbelievable! A windfall has fallen from the sky!

Lin Yuesha hesitated, forgetting that Xu Da's book was mixed in with the others. She wanted it back, but the shopkeeper had already carefully hugged the book to his chest and was staring at Lin Yuesha with the eyes of a thief, with no intention of returning it.

"Young lady, how about this? I'll give you twenty taels of silver for this book, and you can also choose any other storybook you like from the bookstore. What do you say?"

The shopkeeper readily agreed to Lin Yuesha's request, only hoping that Lin Yuesha wouldn't go back on her word.

Everyone was scrambling to get their hands on "The Great Qi Chronicles," and counterfeits were appearing on the market. The shopkeeper, who had a general idea of ​​what was in the beginning, glanced at it and was absolutely certain that he had obtained the original.

If the transaction is successful, he will be the first person in Wuzhou to own this masterpiece!

"make a deal."

Lin Yuesha thought for a moment and then agreed.

She had already read the book carefully twice. Even though the flamboyant writing style made Lin Yuesha want to give up at first, she still insisted on finishing it, which showed her respect for Xu Da.
