Xuan Nan Academy.
Manager Zhang seems to be under a lot of pressure lately.
Especially when facing the pressure from Xu Pingchao, the county school principal.
This person relies almost entirely on slander and nitpicking.
The slander is that "A Chinese Ghost Story" is not a proper storybook, nor is it a proper storytelling performance.
This also restricted Lu Pan.
What's most infuriating is that the townspeople also distanced themselves from the area, crushed by public opinion. Although Xuan Nan Academy still sells tickets as usual, not many people dare to buy them.
Ultimately, it's because I'm afraid of being seen as an unreliable person.
Although everyone knows that the Detective Dee stories may be masterpieces by the author of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio after he changed his pen name.
Due to the ban on storytelling seminars and all of Mr. Liaozhai's works, the Detective Dee stories were still affected.
Most people are ordinary. Since the authorities have presented evidence that this person's writing is unserious, then this person is indeed an unserious person.
A one-size-fits-all approach.
The cases of Judge Dee are also not serious.
In contrast, the business at the Beixi Bookstore is thriving.
He has Qingyunlou's "The Case of Liu Gong II".
It has an excellent reputation.
Moreover, it's a book that the storytelling seminar is currently promoting.
Business is booming.
The waiter, unusually, sat down in a chair and flipped through a storybook.
Not long after, news came from the other side.
"Shopkeeper, something terrible has happened. Mr. Xu and two others are suspected of forging ancient books and plagiarizing the works of a shut-in. He's finished."
When the guy brought over a post, I quickly browsed through it.
Manager Zhang pondered it carefully.
It's rare to see a country bumpkin, an unknown person, who can single-handedly suppress Instructor Xu to the point of being unable to lift his head.
This shut-in is something else.
Do we already know that Mr. Liaozhai is Mr. Di?
Is it possible that "Detective Dee's Cases" and "Poetry Appreciation" were released on the same day? Is it possible that someone who stays at home is the same as Mr. Liaozhai?
This guy just likes to write a book and then change his pen name.
And there was also the White-Browed Hero from before.
Zhang Qiu took a deep breath, laughed loudly, and put his hands on his hips: "I admit that I was betting. From now on, Xuan Nan Academy will soar to new heights, and no one will be able to catch up with us."
...
Beijing Academy of Drama Library.
When Zhao Jianzhi received the news, he was completely staggering.
How could this happen?
"Xu Pingchao, Yang Yuanxi, Huang Yuning, I curse you!"
It’s over!
The pleasant atmosphere of the past few days has completely vanished.
He frantically rummaged through the authorization letter that had been lying in the drawer, the contract that granted him the right to use stories adapted from the works of A Chinese Ghost Story, Lu Pan, and White-Browed Hero, and remained silent for a long time…
As for Qingyun Tower, it ultimately cannot compare to the one hand of a Liaozhai writer.
A tremendous opportunity was right in front of him, but he still didn't seize it...
He lay blankly on the ground, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.
Since my youth, I had dreamed of opening bookstores in various parts of the prefectural city, but I never had the chance.
...
Shui Yunjian held up a piece of paper with a smile and said, "Brother Sui, the matter has been settled. With the downfall of Instructor Xu, Mr. Liaozhai's predicament has been resolved."
Sui Fengsan calmly wrote his manuscript, occasionally frowning, "It's fine."
Shuiyunjian wanted to say something, but seeing the other person focused on writing, she suddenly shut her mouth, looked at him, and shook her head.
Everyone has their own ambitions.
He couldn't stand on his own level and criticize a man whose entire family depended on him for survival.
Wait for him to leave.
Scattered with the wind, a faint smile—that's fine.
He suddenly stopped smiling.
Sometimes, he even wondered if a person who is always assessing the situation and living for others has really lost the joy of being human.
For family?
Who would really care about themselves?
Young and impetuous!
Shaking my stiff neck, I wonder why, even though I'm a young man, I can never be as unrestrained and carefree as Brother Shui. The mind of a young person is like the bright moon, free and unrestrained.
I want to be willful and reckless.
Even just once would be enough.
He sighed.
Okay, let's take a break. I still need to write an article later.
...
Su Wenxuan has been staying in his room these past few days, taking a rare break for himself.
He carefully read through all of Chen Xian's works, including the case studies of Judge Dee, the analysis of his poems, and the poems themselves, even taking notes on the key parts and the parts that he found enjoyable.
If Su Wenxuan's admiration for Chen Xian was like a flowing river before, then...
This is seawater.
Su Wenxuan said with a smile, "Uncle Xian, Instructor Xu's reputation is definitely ruined this time. I guarantee that he will never dare to talk about writing books again. It's hilarious. He said you plagiarized, but he is actually the number one person who forged and plagiarized."
"As for the other accomplices, Yang and Huang's reputations are already infamous, and they are destined to become infamous throughout the entire prefecture."
Chen Xian calmly said, "Wenxuan, can't we just get rid of these three people?"
Su Wenxuan: "Are you serious? This person does have problems with his character. If someone were to submit some memorials specifically targeting his reputation and character, he might really lose his job."
For those who equate official position with status, bringing them down is more painful than simply killing them.
Chen Xian said coldly, "Very well, why force me to be a bad person?"
He then cupped his hands to Su Wenxuan and said, "Please, young master Wenxuan, pass on a message to Mr. Zhou for me, saying that Chen Xian is begging him to help me."
They pinned several people down and killed them.
It seemed that Chen Xian had never looked so serious before.
Su Wenxuan smiled and said, "You've really come to the right person for this. Mr. Zhou has a cold and aloof personality. Although he seems difficult to talk to, if you really encounter any problems, go to him. He will definitely be able to help you."
