The main store of Ju Anzhai has a long queue, and readers from all over the city have to queue up to buy books at his house. Only one place is particularly favored, and there are mobile book carts that deliver books to the door.

Naturally, it is outside the gate of the Imperial Academy.

The car parked quietly opposite the Imperial College. On the side of the car wall facing outwards, bright red banners of "Ju'anzhai Book Sales Car" and "Specially for Guozijian" are hung, which are very eye-catching. The sergeants guarding the gates of the dormitory and the jays who came in and out did not drive them away. Instead, they stood by the car during their shifts and looked at them. Those with money in their pockets bought a copy for themselves, and the jays came out to buy it for the students. of.

Even the instructors of the Guozijian also called Zhaifu to buy on their behalf, and they hid in the duty room to watch when they were not lecturing.

When Cui Xie went to tutor at noon, as soon as he entered the door, he saw the three instructors in the same room hurriedly hiding something in his sleeves and under the stack of books.

It's a small, wide, thin roll... You can tell it's the first volume of "The Rising Storm of Jinyiwei" printed by his family.

Two assistant teachers, Wang and Liu, tucked the picture album into their sleeves, and the other simply opened the book and pressed it on, just like modern elementary school students who read idle books in class and use serious books as cover. The two of them are located outside, and they can continue to read their picture books as long as Cui Xie goes to read and do questions. Only Assistant Professor Xie wanted to teach him, for fear that the student would see something after sitting for a long time, so he stuffed the book to the deepest level.

Cui Xie wanted to pretend that he didn't see it, but after he sat down, he found that Assistant Professor Xie had hidden the books too hastily.

A picture album of three coins and silver is enough to buy a red oil table made of mulberry and willow wood. What a pity it was crushed? Moreover, the picture album was written by the sage's father and led the group, and it will be valuable for collection in future generations!

Cui Xie couldn't bear it anymore, he stood up and pointed to the exposed curled pages, and said respectfully with his eyes down, "Sir, there is a curled book here, I'm afraid that the pages will be crushed if pressed for a long time, can you sort it out, sir? "

Assistant Teacher Xie suddenly gave a warning. But looking at Cui Xie and not looking sideways, he felt that he didn't look like he saw something, and he was really reluctant to crush the book, so he told him to move it out, moved the stack of books by himself, and took out the book Scrolled picture book.

Fortunately, only the lower right corner is curled, and the pages are not wrinkled. On the cover of the book, the picture of An Qianhu holding a fake nun with a horizontal knife in his left hand and protecting several frightened girls behind him was not broken.

He let out a sigh of relief and smoothed out the pages. He couldn't help but want to see if the color pages inside were crushed. After reading the color pages, he couldn't help but want to see the embroidered portraits. Take a second look at the fake Shani page...

He just watched the part that overlapped with the "An Qianhu Zhishen Shani" on the market - that is, An Qianhu captured the kidnapper who pretended to be a nun, felt the clues, and used Feng Yun as the vanguard to take the thief hidden outside the city Nest this.

These old contents were explained with only a dozen pages of drawing paper and simple words. After that, An Qianhu took the thief back to the Zhenfu Division to give the order, and under the interrogation of Xie Zhenfu, he found that there was more behind the thief. Many accomplices are kidnapping women all over Gyeonggi. The people they kidnapped in the past were also transferred and hidden somewhere in Tianjin, but the identity of this group of thieves was not enough, and the details could not be found out.

Xie Ying immediately asked for the decree, and selected Xu Qianhu, the size of the full-body color portrait printed on the front page coloring page, and also inscribed verses, and conducted an in-depth investigation together with An Qianhu.

The two Xu Qianhu were brothers and sisters, and they cooperated best, so they went to Tianjin to find the thieves; An Qianhu, who first arrested the person, led people to clean up the thief's den to find more clues; Xie Zhenfu was in the think tank Li Qianhu and the former one. Deputy, the current former office Qianhu Yao Jing assistant, reviewed the files in various places, and collected more clues.

Xiao Xu Qianhu was the first to find the thief.

He flew over the eaves and walls, acted like a god, sneaked into the thief's lair in Tianjin, and heard a news from the window - their base was not in Tianjin, but overseas. Tianjin is only one of the strongholds of these thieves, and soon the captured people and property will be shipped out to sea. And they have such robbery dens everywhere near the sea...

He was about to listen again, but was found by a short Japanese man inside. The thieves were chasing him with strong bows and steel Japanese swords. Although Xiao Xu Qianhu's martial arts are high, he is no match for a volley of arrows. Fortunately, Da Xu Qianhu followed the outside and rushed in in time, and set fire to the downstairs where the thief was hiding, and saved Xiao Xu Qianhu by the fire. , and arrested a few real Japanese.

As soon as Xie Zhenfu saw it, he recognized the Japanese and guessed that they were driving the bandits to rob the children of Daming wealth and silk and send them to their own country.

The most small country, dare to violate the Emperor Ming!

Xie Zhenfu was furious, and immediately went to the table to request the Holy Order, and mobilized fourteen thousand households to jointly investigate the case.

The picture of the fourteen thousand households entering the hall to lead the order is a large picture with two pages, and the painting is extremely magnificent. In the spacious Jinyiwei hall, there are 14 Jinyiwei guards with similar clothes and similar behaviors, but different appearances, expressions and postures. Each face is written with their positions and identities, so that readers can be divided at a glance. Clearly.

The height of the thousands of households actually fluctuates, and the fat and thin are slightly different, but when the page is opened, it gives people a uniform and high-spirited momentum in the army.

The aura of their Great Ming martial artist!

Assistant Professor Xie himself was from a military household in the avant-garde of the government army. He was most deeply touched by such a picture, and he couldn't bear to let it go.

After that, the plot is more compact and intense, and the pictures and pictures on each page are thrilling.

An Qianhu and Daxu Qianhu who stayed in Beijing combined the two clues, and finally found out the largest den of Japanese pirates in Tianjin and how they transported people to Dongying by sea. It's just that the sea ships they transport people are mixed with the many merchant ships going out to sea in Tianjin. They are flexible and can be withdrawn into the deep sea at any time. It is difficult for them to hold on to the land.

When he was in a dilemma, Li Qianhu, the think tank of Jinyiwei, recalled the case of Yu Xiu, the head of the Yizhou Mountain Field Case, of framing the Censor in charge. In that case, Feng Yun personally went undercover in the mountain field to find out the private account of Yu Xiu, the manager of the mountain field, and finally proved that he had framed the prison history and will be brought to justice by Xiu. Now that they couldn't destroy the robbers' den from the outside, he came up with an idea of cooperating with the inside and the outside, and suggested that Xie Zhenfu would send someone to go undercover in the Japanese pirate's den.

But those thieves have been swept away by Jin Yiwei recently, and Feng Yun, an old-fashioned undercover agent, can't get in. Xie Zhenfu pondered for a long time, and decided to let An Qianhu, who knew the thief best and had the most suitable appearance, pretend to be a good family girl, and induce the thief to kidnap her back. .

An Qianhu resolutely took orders regardless of his name!

Xie Ying highly praised his spirit of putting the court and the people first, and asked people to find a woman who could wear fashionable makeup to dress him up, and made clothes that fit him well, dressing him as a beautiful woman.

On the last page of the painting book, the door of the back hall was pushed open, revealing a well-dressed An Qianhu. He stood with his back to the picture, wearing a chest-length skirt, his shoulders slumped and his hips twisted, he turned his head slightly, revealing a little smooth cheeks and a head full of blue silk.

The back cover is a color-printed picture of this page. On the right side of the picture is the inscription of Wang Zhuangyuan's song "Double Ring Miscellaneous Pendant Shaking Ding Dong, Youth Passed by Mingguang Palace".

"Why did you stop here!"

At least turn your face around!

Assistant Professor Xie wished he could turn a few pages from the back, but he couldn't turn it out, so he cried out in a hurry. Cui Xie was writing a question on "Food and Soldiers" below. Hearing his startled question, he raised his head and simply answered: "It will be available next month. It doesn't account for festival days."

He answered with good intentions, fearing that the teaching assistant would be embarrassed. However, when the teaching assistant was found out by the students that he was reading idle books, he felt more and more embarrassed, and wanted to hide his face and run away. He was at a loss, and asked casually: "How do you..."

Before he finished speaking, he remembered that the master of Ju Anzhai used to be a member of the Cui family, and Cui Xie helped to preside over the book "Must Read for Imperial Examinations" printed in their study, so he must have already known about this picture book, or even seen it. .

... The students who are preparing for the exam are not able to study well, so I see this kind of thing!

The instructor instinctively wanted to supervise the students to learn, but before he could say a word, something even more eager to know came to his mind, forcing him to ask: "Who is the Longquan hermit? A poem is definitely not something written by an ordinary sour scholar!"

Who is the Longquan Hermit? !

Far to the south of Miyagi, in the Zhenfu Division, the prototype of An Qianhu in the book, Anjun An Qianhu, who came forward, also made the same deafening question.

What was the purpose of the Longquan hermit, why did the fourteen thousand households only write that he was dressed as a woman? He also didn't say which colleague had to be responsible for this matter, but why didn't the hermit call Feng Yun to play the role? Feng Yun's courtyard is all painted with big eyes and small faces, more like a woman than him! I don't know who hired this artist, and the person who painted it doesn't look like him. How could he be so thin

Xiao Xu Qianhu, who was portrayed as the first brave pioneer of the anti-Japanese war, comforted him repeatedly, and compared to the picture of himself being injured by an arrow, he said, "Didn't I also call them weak? You are more courageous and resourceful, I However, when he was listening to the news, he was shot and wounded, and he had to rely on Big Brother Xu to save his life!"

Although he said that, he felt that the image of this brave pioneer was very suitable for him. Although he was injured and could not pick out the den of thieves alone, it also showed that he was both intelligent and brave, and he was not afraid of death. Not to mention their images, the pictures in this picture book are not bad, they are really similar to them, the clothes are also beautiful and novel, and even the matching words are better than those he hired someone to write before. Yuanben, who is all excerpting words from old dramas, is much stronger.

What's more, An Yun only disguised himself as a man in the picture book, and he didn't draw him as a woman dressed as a man, so it wasn't a big problem.

Da Xu Qianhu, who also inexplicably became an anti-Japanese hero, also persuaded with a smile: "Although Brother An Xian dressed up as a woman in the picture book, this is a sacrifice for the country and the people. Those who bought the picture book and read it Who doesn't admire you? We also want to be the one who goes deep into the den of thieves and captures Japanese pirates alive, but those Longquan hermits don't look down on us."

Yao Qianhu also sighed leisurely: "You are all people with colorful paintings, what else is there to be picky about, and look at my brother, except for the big picture where the fourteen thousand households are located. , where can you find me? It's in that picture, and I'm also the fattest and most village one, which makes you guys look more handsome."

All the thousands of households laughed, and they all looked forward to what An Qianhu's women's clothing would look like. If it's just that this face is wearing a fake bun and a two-length skirt, everyone is not looking at it, and it has to be painted as a beautiful woman like Wang Yaoniang.

An Qianhu sneered: "As long as he has the next volume, I will buy it first, tear the page with women's clothes, and then sell it to you after tearing it up!"

Everyone hurriedly begged for mercy, swearing that they would not laugh at him when they saw the appearance of his women's clothes in the picture book. When An Qianhu was not there, there were many thousands of households who opened bets behind the scenes, betting on whether he was beautiful after dressing up as a woman, which Qianhu would be chosen to play his husband, brother, family... Cooperate with him to dress up as a family .

After leaving the thousands of households, An Qianhu himself put away his anger and looked at the album with a smile on his face: "… The youth is a member of Mingguang Palace. I can really meet such a case, beheading him ten or eight real Japanese, just like Master Xie, ask the emperor to give me some color?"

There is a new book on the eighth day of the first lunar month, and I have to wait so anxiously for the next month.

"I have to book it early next month, and ask Ju Anzhai to print it out and send it to my house first. But should this book be distributed or not distributed?"

Next month will be the New Year, and each family will give gifts before the year. These books are perfect for future children and nephews. But there are pictures of him dressed as a woman in this book, so that people can see that there are some...

An Qianhu was worried about the stack of books at home, but others were not bothered, they just thought they were not enough, and asked domestic servants to line up to buy more copies as gifts. This book depicts the story of the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, and it does not involve current affairs, nor violates justice. The key is that the painting is exquisite and the text is full of splendid beauty. The face of the person who sent it out will not be lost, and the person who received it will also see it. Get it, so it won't fall on the desk.

Not only these thousands of households, but even the authors who would never reveal their true colors after hiding in their vests left books to give away. It is not only given to children and nephews as something that children read, but openly given to fellow villagers, colleagues, relatives and friends at home, not only to mention how worthwhile the articles are to read, but to say that the latest printing form has emerged in Beijing, and foreigners I haven't seen it before, and they specially collected it to open their eyes to everyone.

The Cui family also packed many comic strips and sent them out as New Year gifts. Cui Xie also gave a copy to each of the two newly recruited apprentices, which opened their eyes. Zhang Zhaichang persuaded him not to spoil the two ignorant boys, and accepted the gift with a smile. Gave him a small bottle of royal wine and many precious gifts.

Cui Xie was surprised: "Our two families are good friends, and we are not the kind of people who want to communicate with each other. How can we give such a heavy gift? This royal wine..." Good news?"

Zhang Zhaichang nodded lightly, and his face was full of joy that could not be controlled from the wrinkles: "The Queen Mother personally tied the little girl's right arm with colorful yarn, and the other two girls who accompanied the election have given money back home. Listen. Said to wait for the New Year to salute, Harmony…”

He was laughing and crying again, a strange look twisted on his face. Cui Xie was actually much calmer than him. After all, he already knew that Emperor Hongzhi was going to take an Empress Zhang, but he was just as happy and congratulated him with his hands: "Congratulations to Master Zhang for being the best son-in-law in the past, and in the future, Ai will surely When everything goes well, there are no worries.”

"Yes, yes, borrow your auspicious words." Zhang Zhaichang pulled him to cry and laugh, holding the gift and wiping away his tears for a while, then said with a smile: "If it's getting late today, it's not good to force you to drink at night, and wait for the New Year's Day. , you must come, I will set a table to entertain you and our classmates and friends!"

Cui Xie smiled and said, "In the future, I will drink the wine of Guozhang Weng, and I will have a hard drink."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhaichang's daughter turned out to be Empress Zhang, the emaciated little prince who he had met during lectures and who was left alone in the hall after the teachers left, was about to get married.

It's good to get married. In the future, there will be a prince concubine waiting for him in the back of the palace. When the prince sends the gentlemen out, he will not be so lonely, right

He returned home full of joy, and before it got dark, he drew a few newly serialized storyboards. When it's all black, you can only compare and revise the scriptures and the policy questions. Just as An Qianhu killed the Japanese slaves on the boat, and was about to raise fire to lead the two Xu Qianhu and the sailors who were surrounded by the nearby sea, the door was suddenly knocked violently, and Xiao Songyan was outside the door. He shouted loudly, "Young Master! Young Master! Someone from the Li family has come to offer condolences!"

What? Which Li family!

He abruptly got up and dropped his pen, opened the door, and saw Xiao Songyan sweating profusely, grabbed the door frame and shouted, "The old man of the Li family has passed away, Li Tianze is here to report, the son, go and have a look!"

Cui Xie immediately locked the study room, instructed him to take plain white clothes and put them on for himself, and asked the steward to prepare a courtesy, and rode a little white horse to the Li family.
