Listening to Xiao Ruxue's aggrieved explanation, Xu Qing gradually figured out the whole story.
It turned out that Liujia Bookstore secretly published Xu Qing's books for profit. Xiao Ruxue happened to be discovered by Xiao Ruxue who was passing by. Xiao Ruxue was very angry and went to Liujia Bookstore to argue, but the shopkeeper of Liujia Bookstore found out.
It's just a little girl who didn't take it seriously, so she treated her as a troublemaker and had the guy kick her out.
But these guys were no match for Xiao Ruxue. Not only did they knock down several bookshelves in the shop, but they also beat two people nearby until they fell to the ground unconscious. It looked like they were seriously injured...
The shopkeeper of the Liu Family Bookstore knew Xu Qing. After this period of business, Xu Qing hired the shopkeeper of the Qingxue Bookstore. Almost everyone in the bookstore business in Lin'an Mansion knew this.
After all, I have to buy paper from Qingxue Study Studio.
Although Xiao Ruxue is responsible for most things in Qingxue Study, no one will take a little girl seriously, let alone think that she is the actual shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper of the Liu Family Bookstore looked at Xu Qing and said with an ugly expression: "Shopkeeper Xu, your lady made a big fuss in my Liu Family Bookstore, and even almost smashed my Liu Family Bookstore. Doesn't she think that my Liu Family Bookstore is easy to bully?
?!Please shopkeeper Xu give me an explanation!"
Hearing what the shopkeeper of Liujia Bookstore said, Xiao Ruxue, who was still huddled next to Xu Qing with an aggrieved look on her face, heard the evil shopkeeper of Liujia Bookstore complain first and looked at him fiercely like a little tiger with hairy fur.
The shopkeeper of Liu’s bookstore: “How can you be justified in copying our books?! Believe it or not, I will demolish your shop!”
Seeing Xiao Ruxue's eyes and looking over again, the shopkeeper and several clerks of Liujia Bookstore took two steps back. There was nothing they could do if they couldn't. If Xu Qing hadn't come quickly, Liujia Bookstore would be afraid that after a while,
There will be no one left standing.
Xu Qing also looked at the shopkeeper of the Liu Family Bookstore and said: "Explain? Shopkeeper Liu, even if the bookshop next door plagiarizes, they do it secretly, but shopkeeper Liu privately publishes the books of Qingxue Bookstore and sells them with great fanfare. Could it be that there is no trace of it at all?
Do you take my Qingxue Study seriously?"
There is no such thing as a property rights protection law in Dachu, and there is no patent. Whoever figures it out belongs to him.
If you can copy it, it's your skill.
Although this kind of behavior is not protected by law, there are no legal provisions that can punish it.
However, this kind of thing is disgraceful after all. There are many people who secretly publish and print Qingxue Study's works, but most of them are sold secretly. He is the only family like the Liu family that carelessly sells pirated books on the shelves.
Xu Qing actually knew these things.
But he didn't take care of it, and it would be useless if he did. After all, they don't break the law. If you forcefully take care of it, you will break the law.
Of course, another reason is that other stores do not have the original manuscripts, so it takes five, six or even seven or eight days longer than Qingxue Book Store to publish the book.
The most profitable time for a storybook is the first two or three days after it is released. After that, the income will gradually decrease, and by the end of the month, you will not be able to sell a storybook for a few days.
Therefore, even if someone else's copy is cheaper without counting the retouching fees for the author, it will not have much impact on the profits of Xu Qing's shop.
…
When the shopkeeper of the Liu family bookstore heard Xu Qing's words, his face was a little ugly. After all, it was not a glorious thing to privately publish other people's books for profit. At this time, several police officers followed a bookstore owner.
He ran over and said, "Get out of the way! The official is coming!"
The shopkeeper of Liu's bookstore burst into tears when he saw Guan Cha: "Master Guan Cha, you have to make decisions for the common people! That little girl injured the clerk in our shop and pushed down the bookshelf in our shop. Please arrest him quickly."
Sir, please arrest this troublemaker!"
Xiao Ruxue was not afraid of anything. Naturally, she didn't take these officials seriously, and she still looked at the Liu Family Bookstore fiercely.
The leading detective looked over and was slightly startled: "Xu Qing?! Why are you here... This girl belongs to your family? Why did you still have a conflict with the Liu Family Bookstore?"
The shopkeeper of the Liu Family Bookstore was slightly stunned when he saw this scene. After all, they actually knew each other...
Xiao Ruxue pointed at them and said: "They are publishing our books without permission! Please arrest these people quickly!"
Xu Qing shook his head and explained to Xiao Ruxue: "They didn't break the law, and the police can't catch them."
Xiao Ruxue suddenly became unhappy: "Why!? How could they not break the law when they copied our book?"
Xu Qing said: "There really isn't such a law, but you just injured the shop assistant and pushed down the bookshelf, but you really broke the law."
The leading detective sighed and said: "Xu Qing, what you did this time was a bit reckless. I'm afraid you and the bookstore owner will have to go to the county government office with us to explain the situation. Don't blame us.
The county magistrate just warned us not long ago that we must enforce the law impartially, and if we practice favoritism, we will be severely punished."
Now there is a Xu family who is keeping an eye on the Su family. If the Su County magistrate makes any mistake, he may be caught, so he will naturally impose strict requirements on these detectives and petty officials.
The shopkeeper of the Liu Family Bookstore instantly beamed with joy when he heard what the policeman said.
Xu Qing also nodded and said: "Yes, I will go to the county government office with you."
The shopkeeper of the Liu Family Bookstore couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart. Usually, Qingxue Study Room always suffered a loss to the bookstore next to it. At this moment, the Liu Family Bookstore caused a big loss to the Qingxue Study Room!
It is the only one in Yongzhou City that can make Qingxue's study collapse!
Xiao Ruxue followed Xu Qing and pulled his sleeves and asked: "Why did they arrest us? It was obviously the Liu Family Bookstore that was in the wrong!"
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "But there is no crime in the law about privately publishing other people's stories, and you indiscriminately injured the shop assistant. This time the fault is ours."
When Xiao Ruxue heard this, she immediately lowered her head and whispered, "I was impulsive."
Xu Qing touched Xiao Ruxue's head and said: "It doesn't matter, you will gain wisdom after suffering a hardship. When we get to the county government office later, we can't impulsively demolish the county government office. We won't be able to afford the compensation."
Xiao Ruxue looked at Xu Qing with her head held high and said, "Then what if they put us in jail?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "No, at most we can pay more for the medical expenses."
His father-in-law is the county magistrate, can he really be imprisoned? Moreover, there is a princess here, and the county magistrate can really imprison the princess.
