They may not know about Bobo, but that doesn't mean the people who come into contact with them don't know.

Among the people Bobo brought this time, the closest ones were Fuqing and Zhang Tingyu. Zhang Tingyu had developed a cautious and steady personality since childhood, and he was a man of great wisdom and composure.

Everyone who met him said he was upright and elegant, a rare and handsome young man.

His favorite pastime is reading. Although he is only ten years old, he has read quite a lot of books.

Zhang Tingyu brought a lot of books with him this time, but he had already read most of them, so he asked someone to find some he hadn't read before from bookstores in the city.

He only gave an order, and Zhang Tingyu was busy with important matters and did not visit Cangzhou, but his people were paying close attention to what was happening in Cangzhou!

Zhang Tingyu had many books of various kinds. Although the people in his household were literate, their knowledge was not profound. When they went to Wensi Bookstore to buy books, they originally intended to choose history books and travelogues, but they inadvertently brought back two storybooks.

It's no wonder, since the titles of those two books are somewhat misleading! One of them is titled after a person, called "Ningyuan," and the other is titled after the reign title of a Tang Dynasty emperor, called "Emperor Xuanzong of Tang."

Zhang Tingyu loved reading and would pick up a book to read in his spare time. The first book he came across was "Ningyuan," which he had never read before, but it piqued his interest.

He opened the book and read the introduction, and knew that it was not a travelogue, but a storybook. He originally intended to put it down, but the book's synopsis was attractive and it was a story about solving a case, so he thought that since he had nothing else to do, he started reading it.

As I read on, I found that the book was actually quite well-written. Although some parts were illogical, the plot flowed smoothly and was very enjoyable to read. Moreover, it was a story about solving cases and rising to the position of a powerful minister through solving cases.

The crime-solving scenes in the film are also quite commendable.

Zhang Tingyu had advantages and conditions. He had read many real case files and knew that the methods used to solve cases were very professional. Thus, due to a combination of factors, Zhang Tingyu finished reading "Ningyuan".

After reading it, Zhang Tingyu felt a strong urge to follow in the footsteps of the protagonist, Ning Yuan, to solve cases, uncover the truth, and restore justice to the world.

Zhang Tingyu is not an impulsive person, but this book is indeed exciting. Although for him, this impulse is just a fleeting moment, it is still quite remarkable for Zhang Tingyu.

Zhang Tingyu suddenly became interested in the author of this book.

Zhang Tingyu called over the person who bought the book.

"Young master, did you summon me here for any reasons?"

Zhang Tingyu said, "Where did you buy this book? Go to the bookstore and ask around, see if you can find out the author?"

This book is indeed a good storybook, but Zhang Tingyu did become interested in the author.

The man was somewhat surprised. He had bought many books for the young master in the past, but the young master never asked who the author was.

Zhang Tingyu would never have asked before, since most of the books he read were written by people with names and identities, so he knew without asking. But things are different now.

"This book was bought by your servant from Wensi Bookstore. That bookstore has recently become quite famous in Cangzhou, so your servant went there and bought a few copies."

Zhang Tingyu was now quite curious. How could a bookstore be so famous?

"How so?"

The servant recounted what he knew: "Wen Si Bookstore opened a few months ago. Initially, it was only famous among young women in Cangzhou, selling mostly novels that women liked to read, and only serving female customers. Not long ago, a similar bookstore opened, with the same name, but only allowing men inside. It sells serious books as well as some essays, travelogues, and novels, and has gradually become famous in Cangzhou. Last time I went to the bookstore to buy books, there were so many people inside..."

After hearing what the servant said, Zhang Tingyu didn't ask any more questions, but he did remember Wensi Bookstore in his heart.

"Alright, you can go out now!"

Zhang Tingyu was interested, but he had important matters to attend to. He didn't plan to go to the Ministry of Justice to try cases and become some kind of Qing Dynasty upright official. He was interested, but not enough to make him take it too seriously.

It left some mark on my heart after all.

After a period of busy work, the prefect of Cangzhou, for reasons unknown, sent invitations to Bobo and his group to a banquet. Under the guise of inviting scholars to exchange ideas through literature, the banquet claimed that they wanted to invite Bobo, the eldest prince, to be a judge.

To be honest, Bobo wasn't really interested in the banquet, but the prefect didn't seem to mind, inviting her every two days. Bobo wanted to see what he was up to, so she went.

The banquet was not held at the prefect's residence, but at a well-known restaurant in Cangzhou. This restaurant often hosted banquets for powerful and wealthy families that did not need to be held at home. The prefect chose this restaurant as the venue for this banquet.

"Cousin, that prefect's intentions are clearly unclear, why did you agree?"

Compared to Zhang Tingyu, Fuqing's thinking was simpler, after all, he followed the path of the military.

"He keeps sending out invitations, he's so sincere, we should at least see what he's up to, shouldn't we?"

Fuqing asked the question casually, and Bobo answered it casually as well.

Zhang Tingyu said, "Your Highness, we know about this prefect's background. He probably wants to take advantage of your power!"

Bobo doesn't actually mind others using his influence.

If someone is capable, he naturally wouldn't mind, but the premise is that they don't do anything to upset others.

When this prefect arrived in this place, he immediately began to investigate. After all, he was going to be staying in this place for a long time, so he needed to know who the local bigwigs were.
