"Since it's not for copyright or counter-writing, then why are they looking for me?" Li Huguo said with a frown.
"Anyway, it's not a good thing to find people in Tongming Temple. So how can Tongming Temple be a place where everyone can come and go at will? No matter how arrogant people are when they go in, they have to lie down when they go in. Let me see... maybe... Some high-ranking officials in the capital also want to seek cooperation. After all, young master, you have such a great talent, and the most valuable thing is what is in your head, and Tongming Temple is recruiting people, so we have to be careful, right?" Master Zhang said.
Li Yuguo nodded: "In this case, the bookstore will temporarily stop updating for a while, but our Jiuxiao City has been very busy recently. I heard that there is another big thief in Jiuxiao City, Ashes of Bones, Sir Zhang, do you know? "
"How come you don't know that he committed a crime within the boundaries of our Jiuxiao City, killed many escorting officers and soldiers, and also robbed the emperor's bar. This matter has caused a big fuss. Now the prefect is worried about this matter. Listen, He said that his officers are looking for clues every day." Mr. Zhang said, "Does the young master know the inside story?"
"Don't I need inspiration to write a book? Maybe I can use it as material for what Gray Bones Sorrow did. If you know some secrets, you can tell me. By then, these plots will definitely be popular with everyone." Li Hugo said.
Master Zhang suddenly realized: "I see, but what is certain is that Ash Bone Sorrow is still hidden in our Jiuxiao City, but today we received the secret treasure, saying that several scouts from Tongming Temple were missing..."
Li Yuguo knew that Mr. Zhang was talking about what happened last night. After all, he was from Tongming Temple. Everyone had a record. The six living people disappeared immediately. They could hide it for a while, but not for a lifetime.
"Tongming Temple is under the direct control of the Holy Emperor. Young master, you can do whatever you want, but don't mess with the people there, otherwise I won't be able to help you." Master Zhang said.
"What are you talking about? My purpose is very simple, just to make money... By the way, Mr. Zhang is here to give you this month's payment." Li Yuguo greeted his men, and a few of them handed over a wooden box. Come over, there are five large ingots inside, each worth one hundred taels of silver.
Master Zhang laughed flatteringly, and while guarding the box, he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. The young master and I have been cooperating for so long. It doesn't matter if I give it later or later!"
"Where is it?" Li Yuguo said with a smile, and after chatting a few more words, Mr. Zhang left.
Looking at Master Zhang's back, Li Yuguo also understood that the reason why Master Zhang was so attentive to him was because of money. Everyone in this world seeks money. If Li Yuguo's underground bookstore was raided, what would happen to Master Zhang? In other words, it is really doing all kinds of harm without any benefit, that’s why Mr. Zhang defends Li Huguo’s underground bookstore so much.
His monthly salary as the person in charge of a bookstore is only twenty or thirty taels, but by cooperating with Li Hugo, he can get five hundred taels of silver per month.
Although for Li Huguo, it was a drop in the bucket, but for Mr. Zhang, it was a huge sum of money, so how could he let go of Li Huguo, a cash cow
"Master Zhang is here to report the news in name, but in fact he is here to ask for monthly payment. He just made an excuse." Li Zhong said.
Li Huguo put down his teacup and said, "It doesn't matter, the information he gave is not without value."
"Master, since the update of "Dajin Fengyunlu" will be suspended, what should we do next? Do we mean to stop the bookstore's business and dismiss the brothers?" Li Zhong said.
Li Yuguo got up and came to the yard overgrown with weeds. He took a look at the sky and it was still clear: "Since Dajin Fengyunlu is being followed, why don't we change the book?"
"Exchange a book?" Li Zhong opened his eyes wide, "Does your Excellency have any other plans?"
"I still vaguely remember some of the plot, what is it called... By the way, it's called 'Little Corpse Girl of Bliss'. I'll sort out the first manuscript in the past two days. You can take it and print it." Li Hugo said.
"Yes!" Li Zhong said respectfully.
"You have been with me for six years, and I have nothing to give you. You will be solely responsible for this book, and one-third of the profit will be given to you." Li Huguo said.
"I don't dare. If the young master hadn't saved me, I might have been thrown into the wilderness." Li Zhong said humbly.
It turns out that Li Zhong was not the garrison that Li Huguo raised and assigned to Li Huguo. He was a slave. He seemed to have been a general before. He was a few years older than Li Huguo. He failed in a war and was sold by Li Huguo's father with the intention of selling it at a high price. .
Later, when Li Yuguo saw this person, he actually remembered Guan Yunfan back then, so he asked his father to reward him to him.
Originally, Li Zhong was going to make arrangements elsewhere. After all, as a slave, the best outcome for him is to become a nursing home for a big family. However, if he tries harder, he may be sent to some hard labor places, such as quarries, coal mines, etc. Such places usually die within a few years.
Li Yuguo did not hesitate to fall out with his father to save Li Zhong, so Li Zhong changed his name and surname to follow Li Huguo's surname. Then he abandoned his previous identity and stayed loyal to Li Huguo.
Although Li Zhong is young, he is still a martial arts master, and he is also the person closest to Li Hugo.
Li Hugo didn't know Li Zhong's past, nor did he want to know it. He only needed to know that Li Zhong was loyal to him now.
"There is no need to mention the past. Now that you have settled in Jiuxiao City, do you have any plans to settle a family here?" Li Hugo said.
"Li Zhong will be with the young master for the rest of his life. Li Zhong's life was given by the young master. It's just a family member. It will become Mr. Li's weakness, so Mr. Li doesn't need a family." Li Zhong lowered his head and said.
Li Yuguo laughed loudly and did not directly answer Li Zhong's words. At the same time, Bai Guai said: "Young Master, aren't you going to school?"
"Ouch, I forgot about this. I'm afraid that old man will be angry again. Let's go... don't waste any more time." Li Huguo said.
Watching Li Yuguo leave, Li Zhong bowed in the direction Li Yuguo left, then turned around and said: "The Dajin Fengyun Lu will be taken down first. It will not be updated for the past two months. I will clean up all the clay characters and wait for the young master's manuscript!"
"Yes!" The people around said respectfully.
On the street, Bai Guai looked at Li Yuguo: "I really can't tell..."
"Can't you see anything?"
"You are so young, but you are able to have such means, such a group of people, and such a large industry. Since you can control such a large industry at such a young age!" Bai Guai said. At this moment, she also looked at Li Huguo with admiration.
Li Yuguo smiled and said, "Are you in a state of confusion? Now you want to commit yourself to me tonight?"
"You're not serious, I just complimented you a few words, and you got angry, huh!" Bai Guai said.
