I solved crimes in the Song Dynasty and strengthened the country [Seventh Five-Year]

08 Stealing to the Flute

After listening to Jiang Lin's brief introduction, Ying'er took the proposal and read it carefully.When she turned to the last page, she saw an "author sharing contract".

Yinger was a little surprised, not only because the person who signed it was Sima Guang, who was already well-known in Tokyo.

Also because of the limitation of woodblock printing, most bookstores will only print well-known general classics in order to ensure profitability, and rarely risk books written by contemporary literati.Even if the author has a lot of background, most of the bookstores only buy out the books at a fixed price, and hardly share the profits with the author.

Jiang Lin's "Author Sharing Contract" is really novel, and even Ying'er didn't understand the purpose of it for a while.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked directly: "Why is it a share, not a buyout?"

Jiang Lin waved his fan with his right hand and said, "Just like a storyteller in a theater has to adjust his rhythm through the yelling and rewards of the crowd, the method of sharing can also let the author know the level of his writing effectively. And writing a book is very difficult. Energy-consuming, sharing contracts can better stimulate the author's creative desire, and it is also a respect for his hard work."

The websites with the most vigorous development of modern online literature use the author sharing system.If he wanted a virtuous circle of bookstores, Jiang Lin would naturally have to follow this principle.

What's more, Jiang Lin intends to popularize movable type printing, which greatly improves the printing efficiency, so he doesn't have to worry about consuming a lot of boards like other bookstores.

Yinger looked at the contract thoughtfully.

From movable type printing, posting advertisements, marketing lottery, to the current sharing contract, Jiang Lin's things are always so novel and attractive, but they are also accompanied by unknown risks.

Perhaps other businessmen would scoff at Jiang Lin's creativity, but the Peng family, who was born in Ying'er, is not a conservative and stubborn type.The path her father took when he made his fortune was one that no one else had gone before, and as an only daughter, she would not hesitate to try new things.

Besides, Ying'er also saw Jiang Lin's deep meaning in putting this contract into the proposal.

This is not a simple "author sharing contract", but a sincerity shown by Jiang Lin - as long as he cooperates with him, he will treat his partner with [-]% respect.

Which discerning businessman would not want such a smart, wise, bold and responsible partner?

Ying'er originally wanted to invite a guest, to say "favor", and to meet a friend who was of little use to her Peng family, but found that the reward of the meal far exceeded her expectations.

Jiang Lin is even better than she imagined.

Ying'er replaced wine with tea, respecting Jiang Lindao: "Young Master Jiang, we have a happy cooperation."

Jiang Lin also raised his teacup, bumped into her and Wen Yuan's, and said with a smile, "It's a pleasant cooperation."

At the same time, in the private room opposite.

Xue Jiu hunched over and reported to his master in fear and trepidation: "The little one can't hear clearly through the door, that-that Jiang Lin seems to be drinking with a girl and talking about selling books..."

Xue Qing was already a little drunk, and knocked the wine cup on the table heavily upon hearing this.

Good job Jiang Lin!

The matter of Bao Zheng's impeachment is a foregone conclusion, today Xue Qing specially ordered the best restaurant in Kaifeng Mansion, and invited several Beijing officials to dinner.He can bear being punished and punished, but most of his property is in the capital. Xue Qing was wondering if he could find a way out, so as not to let himself be relegated to those backwaters and stay in the capital.

Who knows, as long as he wants to talk about it, those people will fight Tai Chi with him, and some even take the opportunity to be weird and sarcastic at him.

After a meal of wine and meat, Xue Qing was only full of anger.

What made Xue Qing even more annoyed was that he actually saw Jiang Lin in the Xianghui Building where he spent a lot of money.

The chief culprit who caused his unlucky luck, actually got rid of his poverty and chatted with the little girl in the Xianghui Building? !

Xue Qing didn't believe that Jiang Lin, who had been wasted for so many years, was neither greedy, robbed, nor broke the law, and could suddenly become extravagant.

Looking at Tianzihao Yajian, who was laughing from time to time, Xue Qing said gloomyly: "Go and find out what books he is selling, I will make him unable to sell any more!"

The headache couldn't be delayed, Jiang Lin went to Qiming Medical Center for a follow-up visit, and at the same time, he didn't forget to bring some small gifts to see how Qiyou recovered from the coma the day before yesterday.

In the early years, Qiyou was a well-known genius doctor in the land of Jingchu. Based on his ancestors, he created a set of A and B acupuncture classics. Holding nine needles can bring people back to life.Although he prefers to study the human body and corpses these years, the ability to practice medicine is still deeply rooted.

The Qiming Medical Center where he works is also famous in Kaifeng for its medical skills and benevolence.

At dusk, there are still many people who come to see the doctor sitting in line at the door, drinking the boiled ginger water sent by the medical center to resist the cold in early spring, waiting for the doctor to call.

Jiang Lin felt that the scene was simple and warm, so he smiled and begged for a bowl of ginger soup to warm himself up.

Aunt Wang, the shopkeeper, was busy sorting the patients into categories. Jiang Lin explained his purpose, touched the wooden God of Wealth on the counter, and carried the gift into the backyard of the hospital where Qiyou lived.

Xie Ling stood next to a huge white statement in the yard.Looking back and seeing Jiang Lin, he bent his eyes and said, "Jiang Shaocheng."

Noticing a thin figure flashing behind the shelf, Jiang Lin looked at the splattered red marks on the paper and the silhouette of the red dummy on the white screen, guessing that the figure was simulating different blood splatter trajectories.He asked, "Mr. Qi's apprentice?"

Jiang Lin thought of a professor of forensic medicine he knew who loved doing research, and couldn't help admiring the ancients who knew the truth from practice 1000 years ago.

Xie Ling touched the center of his brows, nodded and said, "Mr. Qi is waiting for you in the study."

The two entered the study together, and Jiang Lin placed the gift by the door.It was obvious that Qiyou had just passed half a meter of life, but Qiyou seemed to have suddenly weakened, and needed crutches to help him get up, so Jiang Lin hurriedly excused him.

Qiyou felt Jiang Lin's pulse, asked a few simple questions, and began to give Jiang Lin acupuncture to dissolve the remaining blood stasis in his skull.

Xie Ling also talked about his investigation results in the afternoon.

He first took out the dagger painted by Jiang Lin and said: "It has been confirmed, and the shape is basically the same. The person you saw yesterday was also holding a knife in his left hand. If there is no accident, he is the murderer of the magistrate's murder."

With the needle inserted into the top, Jiang Lin closed his eyes and recorded all the information in his mind.

Xie Ling reported the case and said: "As for the case of Chen Zhifu's death, Jiang Shaocheng, you gave a few screening conditions at that time. The murderer was in the list of the case of the dog chasing the rabbit. He had any intersection with Chen Zhifu, and his age ranged from eighteen to sixteen. A young and strong man at 35. Without considering the conditions such as height of about seven feet and left-handedness, Xiaguan quickly locked on a target-Lu Ping."

Qiyou looked at Jiang Lin, as if he felt that his precise screening method was a bit novel.

Xie Ling continued: "Both Lu Ping and Chen Zhifu are from Lanbin, Xiangzhou, and they are skilled animal trainers. They fought with Chen Zhifu in the winery many years ago, and the two seem to have a deep grudge. In the case of the dog chasing the rabbit, Lu Ping was punished as a related person, but he fled halfway and his whereabouts are unknown."

Jiang Lin shook his folding fan lightly, waiting for Xie Ling's but.

"However, the lower officials checked the case file of Dali Temple, and said that the corpse of a man found by the open canal in the south of the city the year before last belonged to Lu Ping. Xue Qing, who was the judge at the time, did not include the detailed items, but only said that the corpse was seriously decomposed... Next The official came to confirm the identity of the deceased to Mr. Qiyou."

After all, he couldn't rule out the possibility that Xue Qing casually pointed to a corpse in order to explain the whereabouts of the fugitive.

Qiyou dropped another three needles before saying, "Just now I have spoken to Judge Xie. The deceased in that case suffered a brain injury and spent a Spring Festival in the ice and snow. The tattoos distributed by Kaifeng Mansion to Yongzhou are also suitable for age and body shape, so it should be Lu Ping without a doubt, ahem..."

The case seemed to be at a dead end, Xie Ling said anxiously: "The lower officials have relaxed the screening conditions, but in that roster, the only person who has a substantial connection with the prefect Chen is Lu Ping..."

Jiang Lin calmly asked Qiyou, "Then, does Luping have any family members to collect him?"

Qiyou smiled wryly, and said: "People like him who are wandering outside and committed crimes, how can they have any relatives? At that time, the official taught people to write the grid and obituary according to the practice of Dali Temple, but Xue Qing said no one Come and collect them, they will all be stored in my place, and Lu Ping's body will be hastily cremated."

As he said that, Qiyou went to rummage through the bookshelf, and took out the draft he had recorded during the autopsy, which contained the front and back cross-sections of the corpse.

The blunt force fatal wound on the forehead, the robe-style red year clothing, the tree-shaped tattoo on the back...

Jiang Lin straightened his neck and watched carefully, and was about to speak when Zhan Zhao pushed the door open and entered.

Zhan Zhao supported the handle of the knife, and said worriedly: "Jiang Shaocheng, I have not been able to find the location of the Moonlight Pearl in the library."

Jiang Lin asked in surprise: "I didn't find anything at the location I mentioned?"

"No, we found a dark compartment on the wall there that could fit the pearl, but the inside was empty." Zhan Zhao frowned, eyelashes half-down, "I suspect that it was the villain wearing the mask who was there." Before the guards arrived, they stole the pearl."

The two cases received bad news at the same time. Xie Ling grabbed the hem of his clothes and said, "We can already confirm that the murderer and the murderer who killed the prefect should be the same person. But the only suspect in the case on the prefect's side is Confirmed dead..."

With his head full of needles, Jiang Lin looked up at Zhan Zhao and said, "Brother Zhan, does Bai Yutang know that I'm injured?"

Zhan Zhao thought his appearance was a bit funny, but he replied seriously: "Yesterday, Bai Yutang and Zaixia chased all the way to the west of the city, and after you were discovered, you have been taken care of by the guards. Later, Marquis Wen Yuan picked you up in person. Today If they were all doing normal activities, Bai Yutang should not be able to tell that Jiang Shaocheng was injured."

"It's not in vain that I used my right hand so many times this day, so let's borrow some strength from Bai Yutang first." Jiang Lin stood up and said with a smile, "Since we have found the Moonlight Pearl, we will guard it in the library The guards are all withdrawn, so as not to affect the students' studies."

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, but after realizing it, he couldn't help but feel a little funny.

If the same trick is used again, will Bai Yutang really fall for it?

However, after Jiang Lin finished acupuncture comfortably and pushed open the door of his dilapidated courtyard, he saw Bai Yutang sitting on the stone mill in the center of his courtyard.

Holding a thin carrot in his hand, Bai Yutang was teasing the little donkey, the only valuable property of Jiang Lin's family.Seeing Jiang Lin come back, Bai Yutang's smile disappeared immediately and turned into a face full of reluctance, but what he said made Jiang Lin feel very comfortable.

"I've already gone to the library to look at it. I didn't expect you to be able to take away the Moonlight Pearl. Fifth Master, I'm a person who keeps my promise, so I just go back with you."
