Originally, the shopkeepers of these bookstores were all rivals that no one could do anything about.
After all, these bookstores are just opened in various streets in Yongzhou City, and they all have their own customer sources.
However, the emergence of Qingxue Bookstore forced them to join forces. Because Qingxue Bookstore launched such activities, the profits of each bookstore were greatly reduced, and they eventually had to join forces.
This is just like the Warring States Period, when the Qin State was too powerful, the six countries that were originally in conflict with each other had to put aside their conflicts and unite to fight against Qin.
Once Qingxue Bookstore is destroyed, they will be able to rely on their own customer base and compete in whatever way they want in the future.
But Qingxue Bookstore is still there, and 80% of the customers in Yongzhou City are in the hands of Qingxue Bookstore, so they have to unite.
The last idea they came up with was to print these flyers. In their opinion, this kind of buy-one-get-one-free approach to attract customers must be a huge loss.
However, after so many days, Qingxue Study House not only did not close down, but also expanded...
This made the shopkeepers of major bookstores anxious, and they all gathered together to fight against Qin... Ahem... Qing...
At this time, a man came over outside the door.
After everyone saw it, they all raised their hands and said, "Brother Li is here."
The man surnamed Li had a sinister look in his eyes and said, "Everyone, in the past few days, I finally found out who the shopkeeper of Qingxue Study is."
The man named Zhang immediately looked over. Not counting Kaiyuan Bookstore, his bookstore was the closest to Qingxue Bookstore.
The customer base has also lost the most. It can be said that his bookstore is already losing money.
So the man named Zhang quickly said: "Brother Li, if you have any ideas, tell me quickly!"
The man surnamed Li said: "Just now I finally found out who the shopkeeper of Qingxue Bookstore is."
The bookstore shopkeepers 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?"
Naturally, these bookstore shopkeepers didn't know, so they all looked at the man named Li.
The man surnamed Li said: "That Su Qing is a police officer of Yong'an County Government. It is written in the Qingming Law of Dachu that Dachu officials are not allowed to engage in business, otherwise they will have to be punished. It just so happens that my brother-in-law is Yongan.
The county lieutenant! He is just a small policeman, and he will be unable to defend himself. As long as he goes to prison, Qingxue Study will naturally cease to exist. Without Qingxue Study, the money we are waiting for is
came back."
The man surnamed Zhang frowned and said: "The arrester should not be an official but a clerk, right?"
The man surnamed Li chuckled and said, "When we enter the Yamen, what can we say about him?"
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, and they all cupped their hands and said, "Best regards, Brother Li!"
"Goodbye, Brother Li!"
"Then it's Brother Li's fault!"
…
The man surnamed Li chuckled again and said: "But if that's the case, my brother-in-law has to bear the risk of misinterpreting the laws of Dachu for us? Shouldn't you be more filial and filial?"
These people frowned after hearing this, but didn't say much.
After all, since ancient times, there has been a saying that the government office has two sides: if you have reason but don't have money, don't come in.
Although the yamen in Yongzhou City are not so corrupt, as the saying goes, eating someone's soft tongue will lead to shortcomings.
It's easier to do things if you give me money.
…
At this time, Xu Qing was preparing to leave from the bookstore, but Su Qian was still waiting for her at home.
At this moment, several officers rushed in and surrounded Xu Qing, led by none other than Zhao Captou.
Xu Qing looked at the old boss in front of him and these police officers who he almost knew and was a little confused. What are they doing here?
Why does it look like he's trying to catch himself?
Capt. Zhao looked at Xu Qing and frowned: "Is it really you?!"
Xu Qing was a little confused, looked at Capt. Zhao and said: "Boss..."
Capt. Zhao waved his hand: "Don't call me boss, I don't have a boss like you..."
Something seems wrong...
But at the moment, Capt. Zhao did not dwell on these issues. He looked at Xu Qing and said, "Do you know that my Da Chu law decrees that all government officials are not allowed to engage in business, and violators will be severely punished! You! How dare you?!"
"Now, the county captain has found out about your bookstore business and sent us people to come and get you. How many of you dare to openly disobey the laws of Dachu!?"
At this time, Xiao Ruxue came out and looked at Xu Qing, who was surrounded by officials outside, with some confusion.
Normally, officers would only arrest someone if they committed some crime, but what could Xu Qing have committed?
She walked in front of Xu Qing, looked at Capt. Zhao and said angrily: "What are you doing?!"
Capt. Zhao saw that it was a little girl, so he didn't care about anything and just said: "Xu Qing violated the laws of Dachu. The county captain asked us to arrest Xu Qing and bring him to justice. Anyone who dares to stop him will be treated as the same crime!"
Xu Qing and she spent a lot of time together every day. Naturally, she didn't believe that Xu Qing could commit any crime, so she said, "Then tell me, what crime did Xu Qing commit?!"
Capt. Zhao said: "You, a little girl, don't disturb our handling of the case. Otherwise, you will be treated as the same criminal. Get out of the way!"
Xiao Ruxue looked lawless in front of everyone except Xu Qing. When Zhao Captou spoke to him in such a tone, that arrogant and arrogant aura was about to burst out.
"How dare you, a mere detective, speak 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 and said: "But they scared away all our guests..."
Since the official came in just now, all the customers who were choosing books in the bookstore have left.
Under normal circumstances, the presence of so many official officials must be arresting criminals. These book buyers were afraid that they would be affected, so they quickly ran away from Qingxue Study.
They were afraid that these officials would arrest them as accomplices of criminals.
Xu Qing raised his head and looked at Zhao Captou and said: "Officials in Dachu are not allowed to do business, but the humble position is not an official position. They can only be regarded as a minor official. Since the humble position is not an official, why do we need to seize the humble position?"
After hearing this, Capt. Zhao was stunned. After thinking about it for a while, he realized that this was indeed the case.
In general, few police officers have read books and are not well versed in the law. Most of them just arrest whomever the superiors tell them to arrest.
If Xu Qing hadn't worked for Capt. Zhao, Capt. Zhao probably wouldn't have listened to Xu Qing's arguments like this.
After hearing this, Capt. Zhao looked at Xu Qing and said with a smile: "I know you are usually smart and would not make such a mistake. Okay, it all makes sense!"
Xu Qing used to be very cowardly. When arresting fugitives, Xu Qing always stayed behind. When Capt. Zhao came, he was still wondering why Xu Qing was so reckless.
It turns out that I had thought it through long ago, and it was the county captain who made a mistake!
