The sudden end of the chapter caught everyone off guard.
Everyone is curious about where the story will go next. After all, at this point in the plot, Chen Shimei has already shown his fangs to his wife and daughter, and the first half of the plot hints everywhere that Bao Zheng is a righteous and righteous judge who hates evil.
Considering the name of the play, The Case of the Execution of Chen Shimei, it all hints at Chen Shimei's fate.
But in this drama, the power of the prime minister is so strong. Would Bao Zheng really go against Chen Shimei just for a powerless mother and daughter?
hateful!
Why does it stop here?
On the steps on the other side of the river, people from the Eight Great Bookstores could not help but look at each other, feeling a little uneasy, but they could not tell why.
Ji Su just felt a little depressed: "Brother Luo! Do you think Ying Wuji doesn't want to open a bookstore anymore and plans to rely on Miss Hua Chao to sing for money?"
He was a little flustered because he was actually quite absorbed in watching this opera.
Judging from the reactions of the civilian audiences in the stands, it is almost certain that a lot of money can be made from these operas.
If Ying Wuji gave up the bookstore and turned to drama, even if he made money, he would only be slightly jealous, but he always had a vague feeling that today's drama might have saved the life of Shangmo Bookstore.
"Why!"
Luo Ming sighed softly: "I can't handle this move, prepare for the next one!"
Ji Su was stunned for a moment: "What move? Why can't you catch it? Please explain it more clearly..."
Luo Ming did not answer, but turned around and jumped down.
Ji Su wanted to howl something at his back, but he saw a figure appear on the stage on the other side of the river. It was Ying Wuji.
"Everyone, stop swearing, stop swearing!"
Ying Wuji bared his big white teeth. He was scolded so badly, but he was not angry at all. He smiled and explained: "It's not easy for us to invite Miss Hua Chao for our small business! Miss Hua Chao just got the script and rehearsed half of it after several days of sleepless nights. I'm sorry that you didn't perform, but we have tried our best!"
The voice was loud and the tone was sincere.
The voices of complaints from the other side of the river gradually died down. When I thought about it carefully, I had watched it for free for almost an hour and there was really nothing to complain about.
Seeing this, Ying Wuji smiled even brighter: "According to the current progress, the second half of "The Case of the Chopping of the Beauty" will not be available to you for four or five days. However, I can understand your feelings, so I specially printed a batch of "The Case of the Chopping of the Beauty" plays, which are already on the shelves of our Shangmo Bookstore.
The first volume is 200 wen, and the second volume is 300 wen. It’s almost a loss-making deal. If you can’t wait, or want to buy it for collection, you can come to the store to buy it anytime after the ribbon-cutting ceremony.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the other side of the river suddenly became lively again.
They were feeling frustrated because the book was interrupted halfway through, but they didn't expect that they could read the second half directly from the book.
As for the price, it is still the affordable 300 Wen, so it doesn't seem impossible not to buy it.
The people from the eight major bookstores all turned pale and finally understood Ying Wuji's intention.
Ji Su was so anxious that he had several pimples on his face. After all, the response to "The Case of the Chopping of the Beauty" was really good, and a large number of books could be sold with a little preparation. After Ying Wuji suffered a loss last time, he would definitely not authorize "The Case of the Chopping of the Beauty" to other bookstores.
The eight major bookstores still have advantages, but it seems that the advantages are not so obvious now.
Those businessmen were very smart. After seeing the potential of "The Case of the Chopping of the Beauty", they would probably receive a lot of orders from Shangmo Bookstore, which he could not tolerate at all.
But now, there seems to be no way to deal with it.
Ji Su looked around. Ying Wuji on the stage was still cutting the ribbon with Zhai Yun, but the audience below had already left their seats and rushed along the bridge to the other side of the river. They gathered in front of the door of Shangmo Bookstore which had not yet opened. They were obviously queuing up to buy books.
"this……"
The shopkeeper of Wei's Bookstore couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Su, what should we do?"
Ji Su squeezed the pimples on his face irritably: "What should I do? Why don't you use your dog brain that has been running a bookstore for a lifetime to think about it, and you come to ask me? Fuck!"
The shopkeeper was anxious: "Master Su! But you pulled us onto the warship, why are you…"
"Warship? I'll fight your mother!"
Ji Su cursed loudly: "I am the only ship in the entire warship, and you bastards are just standing on the ship, doing nothing! Where is Lan Lingsheng? Where is the third volume of his "Strange Stories of Mountains and Seas"? You bastards just know how to stand there, get to work!"
Shopkeeper: “…”
The whole group of people were scolded away by Ji Su. After all, Ji Su was the one who was most responsible for this big move in the printing industry. Even if they were resentful, they couldn't say anything.
Ji Su spat at the backs of everyone, gritted his teeth, jumped down the stairs, and walked towards Shangmo Bookstore.
…
VIP seats in front of the stage.
“Comfortable!”
Ying Wuji stretched lazily. The ribbon-cutting ceremony ended perfectly. The desired effect was achieved. He also picked up a "Thirty-Six Tiangang Techniques: Fetal Transformation". This was a huge profit.
He just turned around and took a look, and found that Gongsun Di and Xiang Ding had both stood up.
There was no expression on Xiang Ding's bronze face. He just bowed to Ying Wuji, said goodbye and left. Although he didn't show anything, it was obvious that he was quite disdainful of Ying Wuji.
Gongsun Di was much more enthusiastic, and gave Ying Wuji a warning: "Master Wuji! Although you are a hostage in Li State, you are still a prince of a country. Now you are doing a lowly business for a mere merchant. You are like a lowly merchant who is laughed at by people without titles and salaries. This is a loss of dignity for the country."
Ying Wuji frowned.
What the hell, you've been sitting here for half a day and haven't used any skills on me. You just left me aside without saying a word, and now you start lecturing me. Who the hell are you?
He glanced at Gongsun Di's clothes and asked, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Gongsun Di shook his head: "You are a prince of a country, so I dare not preach to you! I just advise you not to forget your status, and hope you will take good care of yourself!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
The poor Taoist priest Han Juan also stood up slowly, put his hands in his sleeves, and bowed to Ying Wuji: "Thank you for your hospitality, see you later!"
After expressing his thanks, he walked away with the same gait as an old farmer in the fields. His attitude was quite good, but he didn't spend a penny. Instead, he cleared away all the food and drinks on the table, which made Ying Wuji very depressed.
"Damn it! Why are all my destined ones these weirdos?"
Ying Wuji cursed, glanced at Zhao Ning beside him, and quickly added: "Of course, except Brother Zhao!"
Zhao Ning was not angry either, he smiled faintly and said: "Brother Ying is so good at helping Tian Qing. I really admire you."
Ying Wuji smiled and waved his hands: "It's just some crooked ways, not worth mentioning."
Zhao Ning glanced at the bustling Shangmo Bookstore and said thoughtfully, "But Brother Ying's actions may have offended the Prime Minister. I'm afraid this copy of "The Case of the Chopping of the Beauty" will not sell well."
