"Don't you know to give a fake one?" This man has been following Zhou Shancai for so long, how could he still be so stupid?
"Oh, okay." Manager Wu suddenly realized something, then thought for a moment before telling Zhou Huai about the Imperial College's publication. Finally, he said worriedly, "These bookstores are now openly or covertly going to Zhanchun Bookstore to ask Xu Jiang to buy books and co-print them. They're increasingly disregarding us. Do you think we should do something about it?"
"There's no such rule in the Book Club. What's your reason to interfere?"
Manager Wu tentatively asked, "Then... let them do as they please?"
Zhou Huai raised his eyelids, his old eyes filled with coldness, "You have no reason to do it openly, but don't you have any means to do it secretly?"
"Yes, yes." Manager Wu nodded repeatedly.
Seeing his bewildered look, Zhou Huai looked away with disdain and said coldly, "As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. This incident originated from Zhanchun Bookstore. Xu Si will go to the government office tomorrow to appeal for justice and overturn the verdict. This is a good opportunity to teach her a lesson and make an example of others, so that those bookstores that pretend to obey but actually disobey will see the consequences of opposing us."
By the way, it also serves as a warning to the Lou family and Lin Qinnian.
"How should I teach this lesson? Please tell me clearly, Master."
Seeing his timid look, Zhou Huai got angry, "Is this the first time you've done this? You even have to ask this? What's the point of me supporting you?"
"I understand. I'll arrange it right away." Manager Wu bowed hurriedly, then staggered back.
"Waste!" Zhou Huai flicked the teacup to the ground, then asked someone to find Zhou Huai (the names of the two uncle and nephew were changed after they were finalized. I didn't pay much attention when naming them, so they have the same pronunciation.) and asked him to keep an eye on it to prevent any mistakes.
The next day, Xu Si came to the county government office. He was a little scared when he saw the guards at the door, but fortunately the guards looked straight ahead and ignored him.
There were bells and drums on the left and right sides of the county government gate. They were used not only to tell time when entering and leaving the government office, but also for the people to complain.
There is a rule in "Lu Shu" that when the bells and drums sound, officials must go to the hall.
Xu Si took a deep breath, walked to the drum for appealing for justice, picked up the drumstick and was about to strike it, but it was snatched away by the guard beside him.
"The prisoner is here, catch him quickly!" the guard roared, and four or five people rushed over and pressed Xu Si to the ground.
"Ah... Woo!" Xu Si was about to open his mouth to shout, but his mouth was covered and he was dragged into the yamen.
The servant hiding nearby was shocked by this sudden change and hurried to run to report the news, but he was caught by the yamen runners who were lying in ambush nearby.
Xu Si came to overturn the verdict and appeal for justice, but before he even set foot in the court, he was thrown into the cell and fell at the feet of Xu Wu and Xu Twelve.
The three finally reunited in prison.
