Chapter 26 Twenty-six Cuts



"Go tell him I'm back and will go after I change my clothes."

"Hey." The servant received the order and went to Lou Jing's study from the fork in the road to reply.

Lou Yunchun went back to his room to change his clothes, and carefully put away the ugly donkey lantern before going to Lou Jing's room.

When he got there, he saw Yuan Zuzhi was there too.

Yuan Zuzhi looked a little anxious. When he saw him come in, he quickly pulled him over.

"My dear nephew, when can we do what we did last time?"

"Minister of Revenue?"

"Exactly, you don't know, there's trouble again!"

"Have you been deceived again?"

"It's not me." Yuan Zuzhi slapped his thigh and said angrily, "It's Shopkeeper Xu! I never thought that the number one bookstore in the capital would not only commit fraud, but also bully and bully a weak woman!"

"Manager Xu?" Lou Yunchun was stunned, then his face darkened. "Please tell me what happened in detail."

Yuan Zuzhi was furious when he mentioned this. "The Jisheng Bookstore used its influence to establish a bookshop in the capital. All bookshops and bookshops in the capital had to follow its rules, register and pay an entry fee. Madam Xu refused, and a quarrel ensued."

After that, he described how the Jisheng Book Bureau came to block the door and how Xu Jiang retaliated and made them suffer a setback. He described it vividly, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

He then angrily said, "A few days ago, some hooligans came to our house to cause trouble and beat up my new student, Zhu Chun. If he hadn't come to give me a holiday gift today, and I hadn't seen the injuries on his face and asked a few more questions, I wouldn't have known they were capable of such a despicable act."

She didn't say anything, not a word.

Yuan Zuzhi said angrily: "If they hadn't relied on the power of the Ministry of Revenue, how could they dare to be so arrogant!"

Lou Jing sighed, "It's incredible that Shopkeeper Xu, a woman, managed to shoulder this whole thing all by herself. She came to deliver a holiday gift this morning, acting like nothing happened, not even asking us old men to come up with a solution. Right now, it looks like she has the upper hand, but the Jisheng Book Bureau is too powerful after all. We can't deal with her openly, but if they try to trip her up secretly, that would be difficult to handle."

"That's why we thought of asking you to help us find a solution." Yuan Zuzhi couldn't hide his indignation. "If it weren't for Madam Xu, I would have been deceived. Now that she's in trouble, how can I just sit back and watch?"

After saying that, he became worried: "Zhu Chun is busy preparing for the exam now, and she is the only one in the shop. If some more hooligans come, how can she deal with them alone?"

After listening to his whole story, Lou Yunchun felt her heart aching. No wonder she said that. It turned out that there were people in the capital who couldn't tolerate her.

"I understand." Lou Yunchun made up his mind, "Leave this matter to me."

Lou Jing and Yuan Zuzhi both breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. As long as Lou Yunchun was willing to take care of it, that was good enough.

"My student had been worried about this matter recently and was often distracted. Now he can focus on preparing for the exam."

Lou Jing said sarcastically, "You're lucky to have found a good talent like Zhu Chun. Brother Li and I were both interested in him, but you got there first."

"It's all thanks to Madam Xu!"

This was not the first time Lou Yunchun had heard the name Zhuchun. It sounded like he was closely related to Xu Jiang, so he asked, "Who is Zhuchun?"
