I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

After all, Shen Butong is an official of the imperial court, and this time he was able to keep the Wu Shamao, so it can be seen that there must be connections at the top.

If there is no evidence to move him, he will only be bitten back.

"Well, let's see if Jia Zheng can provide some clues after we catch Jia Zheng and have a secret interrogation."

"That's right, my lord, these are two books written by students, and I'll give them to you to kill time in your spare time."

Gu Ming took out a copy of The Romance of the West Chamber and One Thousand and One Nights and handed it over.

"Hehe, last time Master Nie mentioned your book writing, I accepted it, and I will read it when I have time."

Gu Ming smiled modestly: "Your Excellency is laughing at you. If there is nothing else, the students will leave first."

Before leaving, Gu Ming told the name and location of the inn, so that Chen Zibai could send someone to inform him in time if there was any news.

Afterwards, Gu Ming started to wander around.

After wandering around for about half an hour, I finally found a large-scale bookstore, and walked in immediately.

The various books placed inside are much richer than his star study.

There are books related to the imperial examination, various miscellaneous notes, unofficial history, picture albums, etc., which are full of books.

"I don't know what kind of books this son needs? The villain can help you find it."

A fellow greeted me enthusiastically.

"Well, is your shopkeeper here?"

"Yes, my son, please wait a moment."

The clerk responded, and immediately ran into the inner hall to call out the shopkeeper.

As soon as he came out, the shopkeeper said politely: "My surname is Yu, what's the matter with this young master?"

"Master Yu, can you speak in another place? I want to discuss a business with you."

"Okay, inner hall please!"

After entering the inner hall, shopkeeper Yu asked the waiter to make two cups of tea and bring them over.

At this time, Gu Ming also took a copy of "The Romance of the West Chamber" and "One Thousand and One Nights" and put them on the table: "Master Yu, take a look at these two books."

"Oh?"

Shopkeeper Yu subconsciously took a copy of "One Thousand and One Nights" and asked, "Are you selling it for someone?"

"No, I did it myself."

Shopkeeper Yu was a little surprised: "You wrote it yourself?"

"Not bad!"

"Oh let me take a look first."

Shopkeeper Yu lowered his head and began to read.

After reading it for a while, I couldn't help but raised my head and asked, "Is this book about folk stories from the Western Regions?"

"Shopkeeper Yu has a lot of experience!"

"Hehe, this is not really an experience."

Shopkeeper Yu smiled and continued to read with his head down.

Looking at it, his eyes began to light up. After all, he has been running a bookstore for nearly 20 years. Even if he can't write, he can read.

All of a sudden, it tasted a different flavor.

Although there are some books recording exotic customs in the bookstore, they are not independent costs, just short stories or miscellaneous notes.

With a rigorous attitude, shopkeeper Yu looked through the middle and back content again, and confirmed that the entire book was maintained at a relatively high standard.

So, I couldn't help but read The Story of the West Chamber again.

After reading it for a while, I actually forgot and praised: "Good, great book!"

Is the so-called classic forever.

Even in a different world, a bright pearl is still a bright pearl.

In addition, this book is carefully drawn by Dong Sheng, which makes it even more pleasing to the eye.

Afterwards, shopkeeper Yu flipped through the book cover, stood up and saluted Gu Ming: "Young Master Gu, if I was negligent before, please return to Haihan."

"Hehe, shopkeeper Yu is being polite."

Gu Ming also got up and returned a salute.

"Master Gu is able to write such an excellent book at such a young age, he must be from a famous family."

"That's not true, Xiaosheng is just an ordinary scholar in Guobei County."

"Since Mr. Gu is so talented, he must go to the exam to find a candidate."

After a bit of politeness with each other, they finally started to talk about the topic.

"To tell the truth from Shopkeeper Yu, these two books are already on sale in Jinhua Mansion."

"Oh? Which one is selling it?"

"Currently there are four booksellers selling books, one surnamed Zheng, one surnamed Li, one surnamed Qian, and one surnamed Ren."

"It turned out to be them"

After all, they were colleagues, and Shopkeeper Yu guessed who it was right away.

Gu Ming continued: "However, shopkeeper Yu doesn't need to take care of them, each business is done in its own way. After all, Jinhua Mansion is very big, no more than a mere county town."

"Well, these two books are really good. What's the price you gave them?"

"The prices are all uniform, 650 for The Story of the West Chamber, and [-] for One Thousand and One Nights."

Hearing this, shopkeeper Yu fell silent.

Relatively speaking, the price is on the high side. After all, there are books in his bookstore that are two hundred, three hundred, or even cheaper.

Of course, there are also expensive ones, the most expensive ones are as high as ten taels of silver.

After all, books are different from books.

Just like wearing clothes, homespun shirts cannot be compared with silk clothes.

"Shopkeeper Yu, if you don't believe me, you can ask someone to inquire about it secretly. There is absolutely no preference for one over another in terms of price."

"Okay, when are you going back to Guobei County?"

"Maybe two or three days."

"Well, let me know when you go back. If you are free, I will go there in person. If not, I will send someone to order a batch."

The business is basically done.

Shopkeeper Yu was full of enthusiasm and insisted on staying with Gu Ming for a few drinks.

However, Gu Ming wanted to go back to the inn earlier to wait for news, so he didn't open his mouth to drink, and left after drinking a few cups.

Not long after returning to the inn, Chen Zibai actually sent someone to the door.

"Master Gu, this is a letter from Mr. Chen to you."

"Thank you!"

Gu Ming took the letter and took out a handful of copper coins and handed it over as a reward for running away.

"Thank you, Young Master Gu!"

The visitor accepted the copper coins with a look of gratitude, and cupped his hands before turning and leaving.

As soon as the people left, Gu Ming immediately opened the letter and looked at it, his face darkened.

The letter said, Jia Zhengzheng is dead!

At present, the police of the government office have launched an investigation, and the initial suspicion is that he was killed by a vendetta.

The content of the letter was not much, but there was a faint message between the lines: Jia Zhengjing's death was not simple!

Of course Gu Ming also felt that it was not easy.

Jia Zhengjing's death was definitely not a vendetta, the biggest possibility was being silenced!

It's not difficult to guess the black hand behind the scenes, it must be the one who can't get through!

This guy's reaction is fast enough

Chapter 64 Retribution is finally here!

Let it go?

Let the other party get away with it?

This is absolutely impossible.

Although Gu Ming is not a perfectionist, he is definitely not someone who gives up lightly.

Not to mention that Shen's father and son dared to plot against his fiancée, even if they didn't deal with it openly, they would have to destroy this unscrupulous father and son.

As soon as it got dark, he sneaked into the Shen Mansion.

It seems that this guy is really greedy. Although the house is not very big, it is very luxurious.

Small bridges, flowing water, rockery corridors are well arranged.

After searching for a while, I finally found the target in a wing room.

The door is closed.

But it didn't bother Gu Ming, he secretly lifted the tiles from the roof, and he could see clearly from the gap.

Three men were drinking in the house.

Two of them are Shen Butong father and son, and the other one, Gu Ming recognized at a glance, is the man surnamed Liu that Wu Chang described.

"Butler Liu, are you sure you didn't leave any traces?"

"Master, don't worry, the villain spent 300 taels of silver to find someone to do it. After he succeeds, the man will go away and fly away, and he will never show his feet."

"Yeah!" Shen Butong nodded in satisfaction: "Fortunately, he acted quickly, otherwise he would be one step ahead by that surnamed Chen."

"Father, with Chen Zibai around, we are under restraint everywhere, we have to find a way to get rid of him."

"It's easy for you to say, he is inspecting the censor, you boy, don't be fooled."

"But father, my boy, when he saw that Nie Xiaoqian, his soul seemed to be hooked away."

Shen Butong said angrily: "There are not enough beauties in Jinhua Mansion for the worthless things? Why do you always miss her so much?"

"That's right, young master, what the master said is reasonable, the relationship between Mr. Nie and Mr. Chen is not normal, it's better"

Butler Liu didn't finish his sentence, but Shen Xiuyuan shouted angrily: "Shut up, I just fell in love with her. No matter what, I have to find a way to get her!"

Human psychology is like this, the more you can't get something, the more you want it.

The more you can't get it, the more precious it is.

It's just that when Gu Ming heard these words, a ray of murderous intent emerged from the bottom of his heart.

Dog things, it's time like this, but you still don't die

"Okay, let's talk about this matter later!" Shen Butong glared at his son with some dissatisfaction, and then got up to pour the wine himself.

"Steward Liu has done a lot of hard work, I would like to toast you again"

At this time, Gu Ming saw clearly from the roof, this guy unexpectedly threw something into the wine glass through the cover of his sleeve.

Afraid that he will be silenced again?

For a moment, Gu Ming couldn't help hesitating.

Do you want to stop it?

After all, Steward Liu is an important witness.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to let it go, after all, if I make a move now, I will definitely startle the snake and become passive.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir!"
