The more the shopkeeper of the Liu Family Bookstore thought about it, the more he felt that he was right: "Well, that must be the case! If not, why would Xu Qing come to my Liu Family Bookstore to buy books? Does he need my book? He is asking my Liu Family Bookstore for it.
The bookstore is showing weakness!"
The clerk at the bookstore on the side also flattered him and said: "The Qingxue study uniforms that the shopkeeper let me wear will definitely become a good story in our Yongzhou city."
…
three days later
The magistrate of Su County and officials of all sizes in Yongzhou City were all called to the state government office today.
Magistrate Su was still curious about what happened that made the two county magistrates in Yongzhou City call the state government office. Not only that, but the chief officials from all over Yongzhou also set off in the direction of the state government office.
If there is no major event, the governor will definitely not transfer all the chief officials from all over Yongzhou to the state government.
Finally, after waiting for about an hour and a half, officials from all over the country arrived.
At this time, Su County Magistrate finally knew what had happened, and the court added a new law called the "Copyright Law."
The name is really strange, and many officials are curious, what kind of law is the Copyright Law?
Moreover, in the past, even if the imperial court supplemented laws, they only added a few articles on the original basis.
This time, a new chapter was added directly! There has never been such a scene since the founding of Da Chu!
No wonder the governor wanted to gather all the chief officials of Yongzhou counties together. It turned out that there was such a big event!
The governor gave his last lecture: "Today, our country, Chu, has added a new law. All county magistrates and county captains must read this law thoroughly. Anyone who violates laws and disciplines will be punished in accordance with the law! If I let this officer discover it,
Wherever the chief officer is suspected of bending the law for personal gain, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
After coming out of the state office, Magistrate Su had a thick code in his hand. He was still thinking about what kind of crimes were recorded in the "Copyright Law"? What is copyright? It's really strange.
At this time, Xu Sima seemed to have walked past Magistrate Su unintentionally and said, "Master Su."
Magistrate Su turned around and saw the visitor. Although he was angry, he still cupped his hands and said, "I have met Lord Xu."
Xu Sima sneered and said: "Now that the county lieutenant in Yong'an County has been dismissed and severely punished by the prince for bending the law for personal gain, the burden on Magistrate Su's shoulders is now much heavier. Magistrate Su must be careful and don't step into the trap because of bending the law for personal gain."
He followed in the footsteps of Yong'an County Lieutenant."
Magistrate Su held his hands expressionlessly and said, "I would like to thank Mr. Xu for reminding me. I will take my leave."
Magistrate Su walked away. Xu Sima took a deep look at Magistrate Su, and then snorted coldly: "I don't know what is good or bad!"
After saying that, he walked away.
…
He couldn't help but feel a little anxious at this moment. According to usual, the prince would have arrived in the capital at this moment! But at this moment, the prince had no intention of leaving at all.
At this time, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, why didn't the prince leave?
The Xu family would not dare to act rashly until the prince left. Otherwise, it would not be easy to deal with a mere county magistrate?
Fortunately, the new law was promulgated at this time. Magistrate Su must not be able to deal with the illegal and disorderly behavior in Yong'an County for a while. If he catches a mistake, he will first read this book named Su and recover some capital first!
Well, let’s do it!
During dinner later in the evening, Magistrate Su held the volume of law in his hand and studied it.
It has to be said that this law is definitely the most comfortable one he has ever read, with clear provisions and appropriate punishments.
It is far more comfortable to watch than the previous "Da Chu Ling".
Xu Qing couldn't help but said: "Father-in-law, why are you so fascinated by what you are reading? You don't put it down even while eating?"
Su Qian also raised her head and looked at Magistrate Su, reading a book during the meal. This had never happened before.
Magistrate Su couldn't help but hit Xu Qing's head with the book in his hand: "What a script! This is a newly promulgated law by the imperial court. As a father, I must read it quickly and bring all the violations of the law to justice.
But don’t let the Xu family get a handle on this."
Xu Qing's eyes lit up at this time: "Is there a new law?"
Magistrate Su asked in confusion: "Why are you so happy about a new law?"
Xu Qing couldn't hide the smile on her lips, but she quickly shook her head and said: "No, no, if there is a new law, there will be a new law. Why should I be happy? I'm full. I'll go for a walk with my wife first. My father-in-law will eat slowly."
With that said, he put down the bowl and stood up with Su Qian and walked to the back garden.
In the past, Magistrate Su left the table first, but today, because Magistrate Su ate and read at the same time, his speed was naturally much slower.
Magistrate Su looked at Xu Qing and his daughter leaving and murmured: "It's inexplicable."
Then he turned his attention to the new law.
next day
As soon as Su County Magistrate left the house, Xu Qing followed behind.
Magistrate Su asked strangely: "If you don't go to your shop, why are you following me?"
Xu Qing said: "Father-in-law, I want to file a complaint."
Magistrate Su asked in confusion: "Complain? What kind of complaint? Could it be that Qian'er beat you yesterday? Qian'er won this lawsuit, so you don't need to file a lawsuit."
Xu Qing said with a dark look on his face: "We are a loving husband and wife, we don't quarrel and we don't fight..."
Magistrate Su nodded: "As long as the husband and wife are harmonious, then who are you suing?"
Xu Qingdao: "My son-in-law wants to sue the shopkeeper of the Liu Family Bookstore. He secretly published my son-in-law's words without signing a contract with the villain, and then put them in a place where the crime was obvious, openly sold them, and even provoked my son-in-law. This has been a serious violation."
"Copyright Law", father-in-law, you have to make the decision for your son-in-law!"
Su County Magistrate asked doubtfully: "You know who broke the law just after the new Copyright Law came out? Didn't the new law come out for you alone?"
Xu Qing said awkwardly: "Didn't I take a look at the book in your father-in-law's hand yesterday and saw several laws? Look, it happened to correspond to the Liu Family Bookstore. You can't blame me."
Then, Xu Qing added: "Furthermore, with the new law, my father-in-law just needs someone to scare the monkeys, right? This will also make the people under my father-in-law's rule more strict with themselves."
Magistrate Su nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. Then I will go to the county government office with my father. My father will send someone to bring Shopkeeper Liu to the court for questioning."
…
above court
Magistrate Su was shocked: "Shopkeeper Liu and Xu Qing, the shopkeeper of Qingxue Study, are suing you. Do you know your guilt?"
The shopkeeper of the Liu Family Bookstore knelt on the ground with a confused look on his face: "I'm reporting back to you, my lord, I don't know..."
He couldn't help but be confused. He had gone through the laws of Dachu, and he had not broken the law at all! If it was illegal, it was the shopkeeper of Qingxue Study who broke the law!
What does it have to do with him, an honest bookstore owner?!
Xu Qing on the side said: "Sir, this person has violated Articles 1 to 132 of the Copyright Law by plagiarizing the storybook of Xiaoren Bookstore and selling the books of my Qingxue Bookstore on the bright side. Please forgive me.
The adults are still innocent of the villains."
Magistrate Su had just taken a sip of water to moisten his throat. When he heard these words, he almost spit out the water in his mouth. One hundred and thirty-two?!
