Heavenly Dao Formula

"What are you talking about, recently there have been counter-books circulating in Jinxia City?"

Inside the Police Department of the Bureau, Li Xing raised his head from the file and said.

"Boss, don't you know?" Detective Huang Silian nodded and said, "Recently, this book has become popular all over the streets and alleys! Bookstores selling it are lined up from the yard to the entrance of the street!"

"Oh? Let's listen to the details." Li Xing suddenly became interested.

To be honest, the law and order environment in this city was the best he had ever seen. Even during the period when the enemy infiltrated wildly, there were less than a hundred murders. Now that it has entered the period of stability, the city is even more prosperous and stable, and there are even fewer robberies and thefts. However, this does not mean that the police department is idle. In fact, their work has become more and more busy, such as population registration, ID card handling, business disputes, etc., and even disputes between neighbors have become one of their tasks. one.

This also made Li Xing feel a little melancholy.

He always felt that his talent was out of scope.

And the appearance of anti-book news lifted his spirits - there is no doubt that the Qixing Privy Council has definitely not stopped sending spies to Jinxia in the past, and if these moths can be caught, the credit must be greater than the trivial matters in the neighborhood.

The whole process is not complicated.

About four or five days ago, a slang book called "Flowers Blooming" suddenly became popular, and many people rushed to buy it, which sparked heated discussions. Due to the limited quantity, its price is also rising steadily. After several times of reselling, the price can even be tripled or quadrupled. And price supervision was originally one of the responsibilities of the police department. It was because someone reported it in the market that the detectives noticed the popularity of this book.

But if it's just a well-bought book of common sayings, that's fine.

The key is that a considerable part of its content involves the life of court officials, and the image of the people in the book clearly has the shadow of the founder of the bureau.

After listening to his subordinates' report, Li Xing jumped up, "This man is so courageous!"

It's no wonder that he was angry, Xia Fucheng's reputation in the affairs bureau can be said to be admired by everyone, and everyone can see his behavior. Although Her Royal Highness the princess behind him is indeed very supportive of him, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that he can succeed not because of the support of the superior, but because of the reason for doing so.

There is no doubt that this is definitely a public opinion weapon used by enemy spies to discredit Xia Fan!

"Boss, do we need to report the situation to the Privy Council?" Huang Si asked.

If the opponent is Qixing, the possibility of the alchemist's rebellion should be considered. Although the police department is equipped with air rifles, guns are obviously at a disadvantage when arresting people in complex environments such as streets and houses.

"No need, I guess the planner is most likely an ordinary person." Li Xing said decisively, "It is precisely because he has no ability to carry out substantial damage that he chooses this despicable method to attack Master Xia. The bookstore selling books is Which one?"

"Beicheng District, Erli Peach Blossom Street, Fengming Bookstore."

"Bring a team and seal the bookstore immediately!"

"yes!"

"Wait a minute." Huang Sigang was about to leave, but Li Xing suddenly stopped him, "The enemy is not a bookstore. This is too stupid, it is tantamount to open provocation, and if we overreact, we will startle the snake. And...the enemy can even Further release rumors, saying that it is because the content is true that Jinxia City is so taboo."

"Then what should we do?" Huang Si scratched his head.

"After he closes business, we'll come to the door at night." Li Xing said in a deep voice.

...

In Fengming Bookstore, the storekeeper Zhang was thinking about his calculations and laughed happily.

What is wise and decisive, what is business genius, this is it! First use free samples to publicize through the teahouse, and then sell the books in limited quantities. In less than a week, Fengming Bookstore has changed from no one cares about it to a popular existence, with a large number of customers visiting every day. And asked to buy the book "Flowers Blooming" by name.

There are only him and Zhang Yuan in the bookstore, and the printing volume obviously cannot meet such a large demand. In addition to urgently recruiting manpower, he deliberately uses the first-come-first-served method to increase the purchase threshold, and secretly entrusts someone to raise the price. Part of it leaked out secretly—now a book can be bought outside for three to four hundred yuan, enough to be worth hundreds of copies of Shenjin Weekly, and it also brought the bookstore back to life in a desperate situation.

The numbers on the abacus clearly reveal a fact: the sales in these few days have exceeded the sum of the previous half a year!

This kind of joyful feeling of reversing the overall situation made him laugh out loud in his dreams.

Boom boom boom.

There was a knock on the door outside the house.

"Who is it? It's so late..." Shopkeeper Zhang looked at his second child, "We are closed, you go to thank the guests."

"No, Uncle." Zhang Yuan showed a surprised look, "I've obviously locked the courtyard door..."

Wait...the courtyard door is locked?

How did the knocker get into the house?

As soon as shopkeeper Zhang felt a sense of vigilance, the door bolt was quietly cut off—then several figures rushed into the house, blocking all their ways in an instant!

"Don't move." The leader shouted in a low tone.

Shopkeeper Zhang trembled in fright, and almost threw his abacus on the ground.

He clearly saw that the opponent was holding a long sword in his hand!

In the past, there were indeed occasional robberies in Jinxia City, but in the past six months, the crackdown on crimes has wiped out all the street gangsters and gangsters. He hasn't heard of such incidents for a long time. Coupled with the sluggish business of the bookstore, he fired the only guard. He didn't expect to be robbed at this time!

"You, if you want money... it's all in the boxes, boxes under the counter..."

"Who is the robber?" Li Xing said impatiently, "We are from the police department, and we are here to investigate the counterfeiting. You'd better cooperate with our actions, or you will bear the consequences!"

"Police Bureau?" Shopkeeper Zhang was taken aback, and subconsciously replied, "According to the provisions of Chapter 5 and Chapter 12 of the Jinxia Law, the Police Bureau must produce documents for investigation..."

Li Xing couldn't help being taken aback.

After looking at the other party for a while, he took out the police officer's card from his pocket and showed it in front of the shopkeeper.

"Ah, so it's Master Li. Please sit down..." Shopkeeper Zhang heaved a sigh of relief, and at the same time glanced at Zhang Yuan, "Go and make tea for the police officers."

"No - no one can leave this room without my permission." Li Xing interrupted, "Come here first, I have something to ask you."

"Uh...you have the final say." The shopkeeper obediently walked out of the counter and sat down in front of the police chief.

"You should know...the purpose of my coming, right?" Li Xing raised his head slightly and said in a cold tone on purpose.

This is a warning, which can not only deter the suspect, but also find out his details.

The latter rubbed his hands, "I guess...is it related to "Flower Blooming"?"

"Hmph, it seems that you are very clear in your heart." Li Xing narrowed his eyes, "Then who wrote this anti-book, and who gave it to you to print? I guess... it wasn't written by the waiter in your shop, right? ?”

He glanced at Zhang Yuan, who shivered with fear on his face.

This person might be a breakthrough, Li Xing realized.

"An anti-book?" The shopkeeper shook his head in confusion, "Master Li, are you sure you read the title of the book correctly? This book is obviously just a bizarre and wonderful emotional story. How can there be a reason for rebellion?"
