Chapter 198 Guess it's Zhang Wanqing
Lin Zhiyi also wanted to scare these people. The anti-book was just a lie she made up.
However, these people were really scared.
Seeing the panic on the students' faces, Lin Zhiyi said again: "If you tell me who ordered you to do this, this matter will be over. If you don't want to tell me, you can expect to be beheaded."
"I advise you to release us as soon as possible, otherwise the governor..."
A student just spoke, then suddenly realized that he had said too much and quickly shut up.
Lin Zhiyi was in deep thought.
Lord Assassin?
The thorny adults are so bored that they have nothing to do, how could they possibly pay attention to their shop.
"Since you won't tell me, then report it to the authorities, Chai Ya. Go to the government office and report the case. If you dare to buy anti-government books, they will chop off your head."
Lin Xue also said, "I'm afraid you didn't find out clearly when you came here? This person is the Princess of Jiahe County appointed by the Emperor. Do you know what crime it is to frame her?"
After hearing this, several people looked at each other, with a look of panic on their faces.
One of them finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you, a woman came to us. She was riding in the governor's carriage and claimed to be the governor's wife. She told us to frame Lin Wenge."
Lin Zhiyi found it incredible.
Using such a clumsy method to frame their shop?
Moreover, they had no dealings with the assassin's family. If they were told that they were targeting their Lin family for no reason, Lin Zhiyi didn't quite believe it.
"How old is that lady?"
"Sixteen or seventeen years old."
Lin Zhiyi glanced at Li Wenjing and had some guesses in his mind.
"Chai Ya, go report to the police."
"Why don't you keep your word? Didn't you say you would let us go as long as we tell the truth?"
Lin Zhiyi snorted coldly, "Because you are lying. Everyone knows that the old lady of the Governor's Mansion is in her forties or fifties, and Governor Lu's wife has passed away. There is no concubine in the mansion, so how could it be a young woman?"
"We really weren't lying. She was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and she was riding in the Governor's carriage. We were skeptical at first, but when the Governor's servants didn't refute it, we finally believed it."
"What does she look like? Can you draw her?" Lin Zhiyi asked.
"We were talking through the car curtain and didn't see the woman's face."
Lin Zhiyi pondered for a moment. "If you want me to let you go, you can. Write down a letter of guarantee regarding today's extortion and sign it. If you do it again, whether it's in our shop or in other shops, I will send the letter of guarantee to your academy and have you expelled."
Several people looked at each other, somewhat hesitant.
Do you really want to write it down?
"I'll write. Bring me a pen and paper."
Chai Ya brought out paper and pen. One person started writing. Seeing that they would have to write sooner or later, the others also wrote letters of guarantee.
After a while, everyone finished writing.
"You guys go."
Lin Xue asked, "Cousin, are you really going to let them go?"
"Let them go."
The shop was newly opened, and she didn't want it to have a bad reputation because of these people.
What's more, the most taboo thing in doing business is to avoid doing things to the extreme. In the future, you will have more enemies. The shop is in the open, but the enemies are in the dark, and it is difficult to guard against them.
What's more, those scholars were just being used. If they reported the matter to the authorities, their lives would be ruined. Not only would they be expelled from the academy, but in serious cases, their qualifications for the imperial examinations would be revoked.
She didn't sympathize with the bad guys, she was just afraid that they would become desperate and do harm to the shop.
I believe that after suffering such a big setback today, they will never dare to do it again.
After these people left, the customers praised Lin Wenge.
Some people even bought a few more books and a few dollars of paper.
Lin Zhiyi asked Pei Zhouye, "You've also seen that our shop has been targeted by the governor. Are you still willing to cooperate with us?"
Pei Zhouye said, "Don't worry, Miss Lin. Since I've chosen to cooperate with you, I'm naturally not afraid of a small governor. I'll help you settle this matter."
Pei Zhouye's words made Li Wenjing, who was standing beside him, shrink his eyes.
"Okay, then I'll wait for news from Boss Pei."
As expected, he was not wrong about the person. The Pei family was not afraid of the governor.
Pei Zhouye's willingness to take care of the Lin family's affairs shows his sincerity.
But she also wanted to test Pei Zhouye's ability to see if he could really handle it as he said.
After Pei Zhouye left, Lin Zhiyi and Li Wenjing returned to the inner courtyard again.
Lin Zhiyi asked, "The wife of the governor should not be his principal wife, but his concubine."
"It seems Zhizhi has guessed who it is."
"Zhang Wanqing."
Lin Zhiyi blurted out.
Li Wenjing didn't look surprised, it was obvious that he had guessed it.
"I can't think of anyone else who would do this and do it so stupidly."
Lin Zhiyi frowned and suddenly thought of his second uncle's two daughters, Lin Jingshu and Lin Jingwei.
What about them? Will they become concubines of the governor?
Stop guessing and wait for news from Pei Zhouye.
At night.
The Lin family's yard was quiet, and Zhaocai and Jinbao also hid in their own nests.
In Li Wenjing's house, three men in black were kneeling on one knee.
"My Lord, the man today was indeed ordered by Miss Zhang."
Li Wenjing frowned.
It really is her.
Last time, she kidnapped Lin Zhiyi, and he had spared her life. It seems that he has not learned his lesson and wants to harm Zhiyi again.
"Let's deal with it."
The three of them bowed and said, "Yes."
The next morning.
Lin Zhiyi was selecting the list of applicants from yesterday.
There were many applicants, both men and women. After what happened yesterday, Lin Zhiyi felt that it would be more appropriate to choose a few male assistants.
Every morning, the printing house brought books to the shop. Women were not strong enough, but men could do the hard work of carrying the books from the carriage to the shop.
If someone causes trouble, they can act as thugs and drive them out of the shop.
If you calculate it this way, the fifty cents a day is really worth it.
Lin Zhiyi circled five people with a pen. They were all from families in financial difficulty. They had elderly parents and young children at home and really needed this job. They were obedient and easy to manage, and would not dare to quit easily.
If you are well trained, you can open branches in other counties in the future and become a shopkeeper.
She gave the list to Chai Ya and asked her to ask Cui Yuru to write a notice and post it outside the door.
Those who applied for the job yesterday came to the shop several times and were still waiting outside. Finally, they received Lin Wenge’s notice and were very happy to see their names on the list.
Chai Ya led them into the shop.
Lin Zhiyi: "Everyone, work hard. We will open branches in the future. Those who do well will not only get a raise, but one day you can even become the owner of a new store."
First paint a rosy picture for them and make them loyal to you.
Sure enough, Lin Zhiyi's words worked very well. Several people looked very grateful, "Thank you, boss. Thank you, boss. We will definitely do our best."
Lin Zhiyi arranged three of the five people upstairs and two downstairs.
She also relaxed and went into the inner courtyard to drink tea with Li Wenjing, waiting for Pei Zhouye to come.
Sure enough, not long after, Pei Zhouye hurried to the shop.
"I've found out. Miss Lin probably also knows the governor's concubine. You'll know after looking at this portrait."
