Originally, the shopkeepers of these bookstores were all competitors who could do nothing.

After all, these bookstores are only opened in various streets of Yongzhou City, and each has its own source of customers.

But the emergence of Qingxue Bookstore forced them to join forces, because this Qingxue Bookstore launched such an activity, which greatly reduced the profits of each bookstore, and finally had to form an alliance.

This is like during the Warring States Period, when the Qin State was too powerful, the six countries that had conflicts with each other had to put aside their contradictions and unite against Qin.

With the Qingxue bookstore down, they will be able to receive their own customers, and they will continue to compete as they want in the days to come.

But Qingxue Bookstore is still there, and 80% of the customers in Yongzhou City are in the hands of Qingxue Bookstore, they have no choice but to unite.

In the end, an idea they came up with was to print these leaflets. In their opinion, this kind of behavior of buying one get one free to attract customers must bear a huge loss.

However, after all these days, Qingxue Study has not closed down, but has been expanded...

This is so anxious that the shopkeepers of the major bookstores have gathered together to fight against the Qin Dynasty...cough cough...Qing...

At this time, a man came over from the door.

After everyone saw it, they cupped their hands and said, "Brother Li is here."

The man surnamed Li had a look of sternness in his eyes and said: "Everyone, I finally found out who the shopkeeper of Qingxue Study is these few days."

The man surnamed Zhang cast his eyes immediately, not counting Kaiyuan Bookstore, but his family's bookstore is the closest to Qingxue Bookstore.

The source of customers also lost the most. It can be said that his bookstore is already losing money.

So the man surnamed Zhang hurriedly said: "Brother Li, what's your idea, tell me quickly!"

The man surnamed Li said: "Just now I finally found out who the shopkeeper of Qingxue Bookstore is."

All the shopkeepers of the bookstores immediately asked, "Who is it?"

"Brother Li, tell me quickly."

The man surnamed Li said: "The shopkeeper of Qingxue Bookstore is named Xu Qing, do you know who Xu Qing is?"

These shopkeepers of bookstores naturally didn't know about it, so they all looked at the man surnamed Li.

The man surnamed Li said: "Then Xu Qing is a catcher of the Yong'an County Government. It is clearly written in the laws of my Great Chu that officials of the Great Chu are not allowed to engage in business, otherwise they will be severely punished. It just so happens that my brother-in-law is It's the county captain of Yong'an County! He is just a small catcher, and he will be unable to argue at that time. As long as he is sent to prison, the Qingxue Study will naturally cease to exist. Without Qingxue Study, our money It's back."

The man surnamed Zhang frowned and said, "The arrester should not be an official but an official?"

The man surnamed Li chuckled and said: "When he enters the Yamen, can he say anything?"

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they all cupped their hands and said, "Brother Li, good advice!"

"Brother Li, goodbye!"

"Then Brother Li will be in trouble for this matter!"

...

The man surnamed Li laughed again and said, "However, if that's the case, for us, my brother-in-law would have to take the risk of misinterpreting the laws of Great Chu? Shouldn't everyone be more filial?"

These people frowned after hearing this, but didn't say much.

After all, since ancient times, there has been a saying that the yamen is open on both sides, don't come in if you have a reason and no money.

Although it is said that the Yamen in Yongzhou City is not so corrupt, but as the saying goes, people are soft-mouthed and short-handed.

It's easier to do things when you give money.

...

At this time, Xu Qing was about to leave the bookstore, and Su Qian was still waiting for her at home.

At this moment, several servants rushed in and surrounded Xu Qing, and the leader was Zhao Butou.

Xu Qing looked at the old boss in front of him and these police officers whom he almost knew, and was a little puzzled. What are they here for?

How do you look like you want to catch yourself?

Catcher Zhao looked at Xu Qing and frowned, "It's really you?!"

Xu Qing was a little confused, looked at Zhao Butou and said, "Boss..."

Zhao Butou waved his hand: "Don't call me the boss, I don't have a boss like you..."

Something seems wrong...

But Zhao Butou didn't bother with these problems at the moment, he looked at Xu Qing and said: "Do you know that my Great Chu Law stipulates that all government officials are not allowed to engage in business, and those who violate it will be severely punished! You! How dare you?! "

"Now, the county captain has found out about your bookstore business, and sent us to arrest you. How many brains do you have to openly disobey the laws of the Great Chu!?"

At this time, Xiao Ruxue came out from the inside, looking at Xu Qing who was surrounded by officials outside, she was a little puzzled.

Under normal circumstances, officials would only arrest him if he committed some crime, but what could Xu Qing commit?

She walked in front of Xu Qing, looked at Catcher Zhao and said angrily, "What are you doing?!"

Catcher Zhao saw that it was a little girl, and he didn't care about anything, but said: "Xu Qing has violated the laws of the Great Chu, and the county captain asked me to arrest Xu Qing and bring him to justice. Anyone who dares to stop her will be treated as the same crime!"

Xu Qing spent a lot of time with her every day, so she naturally didn't believe that Xu Qing could commit any crime, so she said, "Then tell me, what crime did Xu Qing commit?!"

Zhao Butou said: "You little girl, don't bother us to handle the case, if not, you will be treated as the same crime, get out of the way!"

Except for Xu Qing, Xiao Ruxue looked lawless when facing everyone. Hearing Zhao Butou speak to him in such a tone, that kind of indomitable aura was about to burst out.

"You, a mere policeman, dare to talk to me! Do you know..."

Seeing this, Xu Qing patted Xiao Ruxue's shoulder from behind, and said in a coaxing tone, "Okay, okay, it's okay, it's just a misunderstanding, don't get excited."

Xiao Ruxue turned around and looked at Xu Qing, feeling aggrieved, "But they scared all our guests away..."

Since the official came in just now, all the customers in the bookstore who were selecting books have left.

Under normal circumstances, the appearance of so many officials must be to arrest criminals. These people who bought books were afraid that they would be affected, so they quickly ran away from Qingxue's study.

They are afraid that these officials will arrest them as criminals.

Xu Qing looked up at Zhao Tuntou and said, "Great Chu officials are not allowed to do business, but lowly positions are not official appointments, they can only be regarded as petty officials. Since lowly positions are not officials, why should lowly positions be arrested?"

After Zhao Butou heard it, he was stunned, and after a little thought, he found that it was indeed the case.

Few of the general arresters have read books, and they are not proficient in the law. Most of them arrest whoever is ordered by their superiors.

If Xu Qing hadn't done something under Zhao Butou, Zhao Butou probably wouldn't have listened to Xu Qing's arguments like this.

Catcher Zhao looked at Xu Qing after listening and said with a smile: "I knew that you are usually smart and would not make such a mistake, well, it all makes sense!"

Xu Qing was also very timid in the past. When arresting fugitives, Xu Qing always stayed behind. When Catcher Zhao came, he was still wondering why Xu Qing was so reckless.

It turned out that he had thought it over early, and it was the county captain who made a mistake!
