After Zhao Teng made the inference, the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. No wonder Huai Guzi was willing to set the price of each book at such a cheap price of 100 yuan. It turned out that he would steal it back after selling it and sell it for a few more rounds.

In this way, we both make money and reputation. As for how Huai Guzi stole books and why she spent so much effort to do such a thing, Zhao Teng was too lazy to think about it. In his opinion, Huai Guzi was originally

He is just crazy and does things in a non-consistency manner. If you want to know the truth, just call him over and ask.

When Zhao Teng thought of interrogating Huai Guzi and exposing his tricks on the spot, his whole body was itchy. For many days, he always dreamed of being interrogating Huai Guzi. Often, he was still laughing when he woke up.

So Zhao Teng was very excited to send two soldiers to Shangjun Villa to capture Huaiguzi.

The two soldiers responded and walked out quickly. They were not fools either. They knew that the so-called capture was just a statement from Lord Zhao. When he arrived at Shangjun Villa, he probably wanted to invite people politely.

of.

While waiting for Huaiguzi to arrive, a yamen runner whispered to Zhao Teng, saying that Lord Chunyu Yue was coming.

Chunyu Yue was an important official in the court and must not be neglected. So Zhao Teng hurried to greet him, but after meeting him, he found that Ying Zheng was also here.

Ying Zheng shook his hand at him. Zhao Teng understood and did not salute him with great fanfare. Instead, he politely invited them to the side and placed seats and pastries.

Ying Zheng discovered that this seemed to be about watching the show.

Zhao Teng wanted to interrogate Huai Guzi, and the wind spread throughout Xianyang City. Soon, more and more court officials came to see the fun, and Zhao Teng's inner-shistor's mansion seemed a little crowded.

Chunyu Yue stroked his beard and said with some satisfaction: "Huaigu was in trouble, and he watched from all directions. It can be seen that the people are willing to do so."

After saying this, he realized that he had said something from his heart. When he turned his head, he found that Ying Zheng beside him was staring at him with a strange look on his face.

Chunyu Yue quickly apologized: "The old minister made a mistake for a moment."

Ying Zheng smiled slightly and said nothing.

Finally, Huaiguzi came swayingly.

According to his original intention, sending a calf over here would be enough to solve the problem. But a craftsman told him that the emperor had also arrived at the Inner History Mansion. Since Ying Zheng had come, he had to go there, so he could not do it too much.

He did not give face, so Li Shui went there in person.

After arriving at the Inner Palace, Zhao Teng sat behind several cases, smiling maliciously: "How do you explain the banished immortal, what are you going to explain the matter of stealing a book?"

On the way here, Li Shui had already heard about the case. He said to Zhao Teng with a helpless look on his face: "Mr. Zhao, the two books are similar, but they may not be the same. I have to hire some habitually to steal books.

Are you here to sell? If you have that time, it’s better to find more people and make more books."

Zhao Teng smiled and said, "It takes less than three or four hours to copy a book. If you steal a book, you can complete it in just a few breaths. The exiled immortal knows the best way to make money, and you should know this principle.

”

Li Shui waved his hand: "I'm too lazy to argue with you. I still have a book here, you can find out if you read it."

Li Shui took out a common sense textbook from his arms and threw it to Zhao Teng.

Zhao Teng opened and looked at it for a while, suddenly exclaimed, and said, "These two books are indeed very similar."

He looked up at Li Jue who was waiting for the trembling place below and said, "Your lost book has been found. Your books and Wang Gu are like twin brothers, and it is extremely difficult to distinguish."

Afterwards, the yamen runners distributed the two books to Li Jue and Wang Gu. After reading them, they were all amazed. Even the two of them could not tell which one was theirs and that one was each other's.

.

Just because the font notes and ink color on this book are all exactly the same.

Ying Zheng said lightly: "It turned out to be a misunderstanding."

Chunyu Yue saw Li Shui resolve the matter lightly, and was a little unwilling to accept it. He smiled slightly and said, "Old minister is a little strange. Why is another book in the hands of Lord Huai?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was slightly stunned, and then looking at Li Shui's gaze became even more meaningful.

Catching the thief and stolen goods, this time I caught a current situation. Huai Guzi, did he really take away other people's books?

Zhao Teng's eyes were lit up excitedly and asked, "Master Huai, why is Li Jue's book in your arms? Did you steal it or pick it up?"

Li Si and Wang Wan also gloated and said, "Mr. Huai, if you make a mistake, just steal a book, it's not a serious crime."

The court officials around were all looking at it happily. In their opinion, this time it was a foregone conclusion, and Huai Guzi was going to be in trouble.

Now the court officials no longer expect to kill Li Shui. As long as he can be unlucky and make everyone happy, they will have to get what they want.

Li Shui laughed and clapped her hands.

Then, a craftsman from Shangjun Villa came in. The craftsman carried a basket full of common sense textbooks.

Li Shui took out the book and distributed it to everyone present, each of whom had a book.

Everyone was puzzled and turned it open and looked at it. Suddenly, someone exclaimed: "This...what is going on?"

The book in his hand has a blank space on the fifth page, and the ink mark on the tenth page is heavier... All the characteristics are exactly the same as those described by Li Jue and Wang Gu.

Immediately afterwards, everyone discovered this problem. They compared the books with each other, and suddenly found that each book looked exactly the same.

Soon, a timid yamen runner threw the book away and said in horror: "This is a demon, a demon."

Li Shui was a little helpless: Can a book be so scared like this by these uninformed people?

Some yamen runners looked at Li Shui in awe and whispered to each other: "Is this a magic technique? One life is two, two life is three, and three life is endless?"

As for those courtiers, they were shocked and confused. They were smart people and felt that this book had little to do with demons or gods, but how could Li Shui do the same for hundreds of books? They couldn't understand it.

.

Among the people present, Ying Zheng was quite calm. He asked, "Huaiguzi, are all the common sense books you sell exactly the same?"

Li Shui bowed and replied, "Except for the first dozens of copies, they are all the same."

Ying Zheng keenly noticed Li Shui's words: "These books are not hand-copied?"

Li Shui smiled slightly and said, "Are these books printed?"

The people present heard another new word. Recently, new words in Xianyang City have emerged one after another. If you don’t go to the street for a few days, you will feel that you can’t keep up with the times.

They repeated in confusion: "Print?"

Li Shui said to the calf behind him: "Come on, please explain it to you all."

The court officials were all a little angry. Isn’t this humiliating everyone if someone can’t explain well and let an ignorant craftsman explain it?

Ying Zheng found it interesting. He had been to Shangjun Villa several times and recognized the calf as the custodian.

The calf was not vague and bowed to everyone, saying, "The so-called printing technique. As the name suggests, it means first carving a piece of print, then applying ink, covering paper, and then brushing it from top to bottom. This paper is now brushed.

There are words on it.”

Everyone present was extremely smart, and they thought of it in an instant: "What do you mean... like engraving the contents of the book?"

The calf bowed and said, "That's right. It's just that the seal is bigger and the words on it should be more."

After the court officials figured out this, many people beat their chests and stamped their feet. Why didn’t they think of such a simple truth before?

Ying Zheng flipped through the book in his hand and said with emotion: "No wonder Huai Guzi's book was prepared so quickly. It turned out that it was not because of cutting corners, but because of printing."

When he said this, Ying Zheng glanced at Chunyu Yue.

Chunyu Yue's face turned red, he could only laugh dryly, and praised helplessly: "The ability of the banished immortal is unpredictable to gods and ghosts."

In one sentence, it resonated with many people around, and these people nodded one after another.

Zhao Teng fell into memory: Printing? This name sounds so familiar. It seems that a few days ago, someone from Shangjun Villa came to apply for a patent, and it was the name that was mentioned.

Zhao Teng was a little annoyed. At that time, a minor official was responsible for the acceptance of the patent. If he had taken a look at it, he would probably not have had such a big ugly today.

Ying Zheng asked Li Shui: "Is this also a fairy art?"

Li Shui bowed and said, "I have used all the printing books in the fairy world. I have heard of the principles of printing. I have tried it recently and I succeeded by chance."

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, it's great. When I saw all kinds of magical things appearing in my Qin Dynasty, I guess it's not far from building a fairyland on earth."

Li Shui said with a smile: "It's just around the corner."

Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui with a look of praise: "I still have some doubts about you just now. But after the truth was revealed, I realized that I was too concerned. Seeing that you became more and more steady, I may have to entrust you with more important responsibilities in the future.

.”

Li Shui immediately said: "I am willing to share your worries for Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng left with satisfaction, and Chunyu Yue felt very upset.

Since he was named king, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the position of the crown prince in the future will be either Fusu or Fu Yao. But as time goes by, Fusu's advantage is disappearing little by little, and it is probably within a few years.

, Fu Yao will catch up with him.

Thinking of this, Chunyu Yue was immediately worried.

After the court officials gradually dissipated, Chunyu Yue took a deep breath and felt that everything should look at the better side.

It’s good to make the printing technique of Huaiguzi, at least you can use it to print some Analects of Confucius and widely spread Confucianism. In addition, I compiled a literature subject by myself, and my subordinates were dizzy in copying books, which was just right for this printing.

Technique, print a seal.

Thinking of this, Chunyu Yue was excited to arrange this matter.

Who knew that Li Shui saw through his thoughts and said with a smile: "Sir Chunyu, stay."

Chunyu Yue frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Shui said with a smile: "The printing technology I have applied for for a patent. If you want to use this technology within one year, you need to pay the patent fee to our Shangjun Villa. Otherwise, it would be stealing."
