Chapter 52 Seizure
"This study is the property of Jiang Rong, the wife of the Northern Prince. But even if it is the Northern Prince's Mansion, she can still seal it off if she spreads rumors and causes trouble." Shen Wenyuan replied.
When Volume 1 of Qianqiu appeared, Shen Wenyuan was astounded and wanted to meet Senior Qianqiu.
result……
When he found out that this was the study under Jiang Rong's name, he felt it was a waste of precious things.
Such a famous teacher should have helped him pass the imperial examination, but it fell into Jiang Rong's hands and was sold for money. What a waste...
Fortunately, his father will be back soon.
Shen Wenyuan could only comfort himself silently, thinking that his father would be able to hire a famous teacher for him when he returned.
The three chief civil officials in the Great Xia Dynasty were Zuo Cheng, You Cheng and Tai Fu.
Shen's father was appointed as the Grand Tutor and was the object of scramble among the princes to win over. They all invited his only son in Beijing, Shen Wenyuan.
Shen Wenyuan always kept the appointments because he wanted to compare prices and find a high price.
The Minister of Justice is a member of the Prince's Party. Zhou Hongyang hosted the event today to find out what Shen Wenyuan is thinking on behalf of the Prince's Party...
"This shrew, it's her again!" Zhou Hongyang became even angrier, but he just cursed and vented his anger, and never mentioned the arrest and confiscation of property.
Shen Wenyuan understood. The things in the book were not rumors, so there was no reason to close it down.
"Mr. Zhou, I have an idea that can help you vent your anger." Shen Wenyuan rolled his eyes.
"What idea?" Zhou Hongyang looked at him.
"To seal off the Wanjuan Study, we don't necessarily need evidence. Isn't your father the Minister of Justice? We just need to say that a fugitive for whom the Ministry of Justice has offered a reward has shown suspicious traces in the Wanjuan Study. Then, wouldn't it be justified to seal off the study?" Shen Wenyuan smiled slightly.
Zhou Hongyang was stunned, and then he applauded with joy, “Mr. Shen is extremely intelligent, knowledgeable and talented, he is really a great talent!”
That’s a good idea!
If this Wanjuan Study dares to ruin his reputation, he will close this study!
"Mr. Shen, you are so talented. If you can assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, when His Royal Highness ascends the throne in the future, you will surely achieve as much as your father!" Zhou Hongyang solved a problem, and in his heart he looked up to Shen Wenyuan a little more, and tried to win him over:
"My Highness is eager to recruit talented people, and will definitely entrust Mr. Shen with important tasks!"
Shen Wenyuan was flattered, but he didn't show it on his face. He said proudly, "It's just a little trick."
"I heard that Xie Lingxi stole your fiancée. When His Highness ascends the throne in the future, I will definitely avenge you!" Zhou Hongyang said with a look of solidarity.
"He also robbed me of a girl that he liked. We'll make him pay when the time comes!"
The smile on Shen Wenyuan's face froze. You're the one whose fiancée was robbed!
I don't even like girls from poor families like Jiang Rong!
"I don't care about an ignorant woman at all. This engagement is just the order of my parents..." Shen Wenyuan was not happy to mention this matter, as he thought it was embarrassing, and said:
"Mr. Zhou, you should go and deal with the Wanjuan Study first. There are many buyers for Qianqiu. If it is not sealed up soon, I am afraid that the news will spread all over the capital..."
"You're right. Then I'll treat you to a drink another day... Oh, by the way, Mr. Shen, would you like to go and watch the fun together?"
…
"Qian Qiu Volume 2" is for sale.
The bluestone street is crowded with people and cars.
Chi Moyan was among them. After waiting in line for most of the day, it was finally his turn.
"Chenghui, three hundred coins."
"Thank you." Chi Moyan took out a small amount of money from the brocade bag, handed it to the shopkeeper, and solemnly took the "Qianqiu Volume II".
At this moment, a loud shout came from the street entrance:
"Officials are investigating a case, get out of the way!"
A group of officers and soldiers rushed in like wolves and tigers, dispersed the pedestrians queuing around and sealed off the Wanjuan Study.
Chi Moyan held the book in his arms and looked at the scene in amazement. What was going on?
Qiu Niang's face changed slightly, and she went forward, "Sir, what's the matter?"
"Your Wanjuan Study is suspected of harboring a fugitive. Come, seal up the Wanjuan Study and take away all the relevant personnel." The leading official from the Ministry of Justice shouted.
Qiu Niang quickly explained, "Impossible! We are an enterprise under the name of the Northern Prince's Mansion. How could we harbor a fugitive!"
"Whether he has hidden anything or not, we'll know after we interrogate him. Take him away!"
Everyone in the study was in a panic. They were all just ordinary people, and suddenly they were charged with harboring a fugitive, and everyone was in a panic.
"Harboring a fugitive is a serious crime... The crime of harboring a fugitive is punishable by beheading..." Zhou Xiucai had just come out of the study, and when he heard the accusation, he was so frightened that his eyes turned black.
Song Heng remained calm and unafraid:
"The innocent are innocent. We don't have any fugitives in Wanjuan Bookstore. What are you afraid of?"
Everyone in the study was driven to the door.
Qiu Niang argued: "Sir, you can see clearly that everyone in our study is here, there is no fugitive at all."
"That's hard to say! Who knows if there are any secret rooms or secret passages hidden in your study? I think we have to set it on fire to find out." Zhou Hongyang walked over proudly.
Shen Wenyuan traveled with him.
When Qiu Niang saw him, her expression changed slightly. It was him again!
The head of the Ministry of Justice said in a flattering manner, "Mr. Zhou is right. This study needs to be burned down. Come on, light the fire!"
"You can't burn it! There are a lot of books in this study. Even if you have the right to search, you have no right to damage the property of the people!" Song Heng shouted.
"Haha... they don't dare let us burn it. It seems that the fugitive is really hiding in there. You are stopping the officers from investigating the case. Are you an accomplice of the fugitive? I think you look like..." Zhou Hongyang smiled coldly.
The head of the Ministry of Justice immediately said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, this person is highly suspicious, and I will definitely interrogate him severely!"
As he said this, he urged the officer, "What are you all standing there for? Why don't you light the fire?"
The official lit a fire stick and was about to throw it into the study, but Song Heng tried to stop him, "Don't burn it..."
Qiu Niang came to her senses and quickly shouted, "Stop them! We can't let anyone burn the Crown Prince's wife's book!"
The servants in the study started pushing and shoving each other with the officials.
When the onlookers saw this scene, they all stepped back, fearing that they would be implicated.
There was only one person with bright eyes.
It’s Chi Moyan!
He wanted to take Senior Qianqiu as his master just to cling to the big tree of Beiwang Mansion.
Now that the study is in trouble, isn't it time for him to show his loyalty?
Without saying anything, Chi Moyan stuffed the book into his bag, rolled up his sleeves, rushed forward with a righteous look on his face, and shouted:
"The book Qianqiu is a good teacher to me. Today you want to burn the second volume of Qianqiu. How can I sit back and watch? I will fight you!"
At this time, in the study, Song Heng was holding back four officials. One official thought he was in the way and pulled out a stick to hit him on the head...
Chi Moyan looked around and saw this scene, and at the same time recalled the scene where Song Heng appeared. This person walked out of the study. He was someone from the Northern Palace...
Then I, Chi Moyan, will definitely save him!
Chi Moyan leaped forward and threw himself onto Song Heng...
"Bang!"
The wooden stick hit Chi Moyan's back hard and he fell to the ground.
