I'm afraid it's not peaceful?
That's definitely not peaceful!
Although the gossip about Luo Yan happened many years ago, as human beings, what they remember most are often those gossips, and no matter how long ago, there will always be someone who remembers them.
Ying Wuji smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Zhao, but I think I should have a solution."
"oh?"
Zhao Ning couldn't help but look at him for a second longer: "Brother Ying, what countermeasures do you have? Could you please tell me?"
Ying Wuji looked her up and down, weighing in his mind whether the person in front of him had the potential to become an ally.
He could now almost conclude that the Zhao Ling in front of him should be the elder sister or younger sister of Crown Prince Zhao Ning, because Pingling Jun was the only son born out of wedlock, and the person who matched Zhao Ling's emotional characteristics must be a princess who shared weal and woe with Zhao Ning.
Now that Zhao Ning has been regent for several years and has made outstanding achievements in government, his position as crown prince should be stable.
However, the court of the State of Li was in great chaos, with more than half of the key positions such as the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers divided up between the Wei and Han families. The recent kings of Li had issued many national policies to seize power but with little success. No wonder she was so excited when she heard about the "imperial examination system".
The basis of the imperial examination system is the large-scale education of students from the common people. At this stage, printing technology is needed to massively reduce the cost of education.
This can also explain why Zhao Ling came to him, with the intention of making friends, and all the logic becomes clear.
But the key issue has not been resolved: is this potential ally reliable?
Damn it!
Ying Wuji just wanted to slap himself in the face. Now he was troubled by internal and external troubles. His business was being watched by the nobles of the Li Kingdom. He had Ying Wuque backing him up from behind, and there were also the Weiwo Cult eyeing him covetously in secret.
He was so poor that he had nothing but his buttocks, and his intestines were rumbling with hunger. If a worm entered his stomach, it would have to cry before it could get out. And yet he was actually considering whether the Crown Prince of Li could be trusted?
No matter what she is planning, the opportunity to get something for free is right in front of her, would it be foolish not to do it?
The worst that can happen is that we can just run away after the relationship breaks up. Anyway, the relationship can’t get any worse.
He rubbed his face, making it look sad, and said with a wry smile: "It's called a countermeasure, but it's just a helpless move. Since Brother Zhao wants to listen, it's okay for me to talk about it. Come, please go to the back hall!"
As he spoke, he took Zhao Ning to the back hall of Xin Shangmo Bookstore.
Xin Shang Mo Bookstore is in a great location and the interior decoration is not bad either. The two of them sat cross-legged on either side of the tea table, looking like they were discussing business.
Zhao Ning said with great interest: "Brother Ying has been facing internal and external troubles recently, but he dares to provoke anyone. I really admire him!"
Ying Wuji curled his lips and said, "Those with bare feet are not afraid of those with shoes. It is precisely because of internal and external troubles that I dare to provoke anyone!"
"Oh? I'd like to hear more about it!"
"In fact, my countermeasure is far from being a brilliant one. Brother Zhao might as well take a look at this."
As Ying Wuji spoke, he stood up, took a booklet and handed it to Zhao Ning.
Zhao Ning subconsciously read out loud: "The third volume of Shanhai Guitan? No, it's Shanhui Guitan, the author is Lan Lingsheng..."
She immediately understood what Ying Wuji was going to do, and her brows furrowed slightly, but she didn't say much. She just opened the book and started reading silently.
Soon, her brows relaxed and her eyes lit up from time to time.
After a while, she finished reading the first story and closed the book, with no intention of reading any further.
She looked at Ying Wuji and sighed softly: "Brother Ying has such talent, but he is forced to use someone else's name. Don't you feel wronged?"
As the crown princess, she focused most of her energy on classics and historical books. However, because she had lived in the deep palace for a long time, she was able to spare some time to read some leisure books. She had a very keen appreciation and could tell at a glance that Ying Wuji's book was a level better than the real Shan Hui Gui Tan.
Ying Wuji put on a sad look and waved his hands, saying, "If you can survive by enduring grievances, who wouldn't want to endure grievances?"
"This, ah..."
Zhao Ning couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic: "So Brother Ying took the risk of using "The Case of the Chopping of the Beauty" just to attract customers and eventually sell "The Strange Tales of the Mountain"?"
Ying Wuji raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Of course not! If it's just to attract customers, I have other scripts!"
"Oh? Then you are..."
"Fake news!"
"Bumping into someone?"
Zhao Ning's eyes lit up, and he felt it was becoming more and more interesting.
Ying Wuji nodded: "Yes! It's just a scam. Luo Xiang's incident was quite a big deal back then. Luo Xiang has always been very protective of his reputation. I'm afraid he won't allow the spread of "The Case of the Chopping of the Beauty".
It’s just that our promotional leaflets about “The Case of the Chopping of the Beauty” have already been posted all over Jiangcheng, and we should be able to sell quite a few books tonight. It’s no exaggeration to say that everyone knows about it.
If Luo Xiang really confiscates "The Case of the Chopping of the Beauty", it will surely cause a stir in Jiangcheng. By then, the whole Jiangcheng will know about our Shangmo Bookstore, and then more people will buy "Shanhui Guitan". I am not afraid of Luo Xiang's confiscation, but I am afraid that he will not confiscate it!"
Zhao Ning was so shocked that his eyes widened: "Aren't you afraid that Prime Minister Luo will directly close down your Shangmo Bookstore?"
Ying Wuji smiled: "Now that Gan and Li are on good terms, a poor young man like me is just a pile of stinky dog shit. It's not that I can't step on it, but there's no benefit at all if I step on it. Instead, I'll get stinky. What's more, our new Shangmo Bookstore is built with the gold medal given by King Li. Seizing the bookstore? Prime Minister Luo can't afford to lose face!"
Zhao Ning: “…”
hiss……
How can those who are barefoot not be afraid of wearing shoes?
It was obvious that he had just taken off all his clothes and ran around naked on the street. Others would get styes in their eyes when they saw him.
These actions of Ying Wuji were indeed somewhat unscrupulous, but he managed to make all the logic around it work, which I have to say was quite clever.
