Because Zhou Youde specifically instructed, Zhou Dafu was very careful in his actions.

He sent someone to test the old friend of the Xu family repeatedly, and then asked someone to contact him after confirming that everything was foolproof.

Moreover, the one he sent to hand over to the old friend was a woman, who was harmless in humans and animals. No matter how smart the people in the Xu family were, they could not follow the clues to find the Zhou family.

Zhou Dafu's efforts were spent on buying this old guy. He naturally hoped to gain value quickly.

Miaofengtang is busy renovating it, so it is definitely not time to print a new chapter.

This gave the Zhou family a great opportunity.

If you can return the latest chapter to the Miaofeng Hall, you can grab the lost old customers back.

Zhou Dafu folded the manuscript and held it in his palm like holding salt.

Although it is just a thin stack, it can earn countless wealth.

He was anxious to offer treasures, so he was naturally very anxious, and even accidentally tripped by the stone and fell hard.

Zhou Dafu got up in a little embarrassedly, and his first reaction was to read the manuscript.

Seeing that the manuscript was not damaged, I breathed a sigh of relief.

He rushed to Xiao Penglai and saw the master listening to the opera as usual, he couldn't help but wonder: Is this southern opera really so nice? In his opinion, Kunshan accent is just that.

If you can't figure it out, just don't think about it.

He shook his head and quickly walked towards the pavilion where the master was.

Zhou Youde has been fascinated by listening to "The Sword" these days. He listens to operas during the day and hums at night.

He can sing many lyrics, and even comment on them.

For example, as soon as "Night Run" was released, there was something in his opinion that needed improvement.

"The autumn moon shines on the present and the present, and the spring flowers bloom all over the tower. The spring flowers bloom even more after falling, and the autumn moon grows again every year. Only when life is like a dream, you must know that the passing water is hard to sink. When you get to laugh and hold a cup, the red face in the mirror is easy to change."

"A song of a high song encourages the jade cup to open the wind and moon to enter the chant bag. The couplet of gold will stop jade will become a new tutor, and the feather will be changed to the palace and follow the old tune. Kill slander and slander, express loyalty and goodness, and bring truth to the false to reshape. The rise and fall of ancient and modern times will be clearly dreamed in my eyes."

At this moment, he was humming in the tune. Seeing Zhou Dafu coming, he asked impatiently: "Don't say anything important."

"Master Qi Bian, I have obtained the manuscript of the Journey to the West!"

Zhou Dafu smiled and said, "Congratulations to Master, congratulations to Master!"

Zhou Youde was stunned.

"I got it so easily?"

"The villain gave that guy Xu a lot of benefits."

Zhou Dafu explained: "Please rest assured, no traces are left."

Zhou Youde took the manuscript and opened it to read it. After reading it for a moment, he put it down.

He is not a fan of this book, and he is basically not interested in the manuscript itself. He only cares about how much money this manuscript can bring to him.

"You've done a good job."

The very stingy Zhou Youde rarely praised the manager.

"But don't rush to print, just press it first."

"this..."

Zhou Dafu looked embarrassed.

"Master, why is this?"

"Are you really stupid or fake? My front foot Miaofengtang was burned, and our weekly journal published a new chapter on Journey to the West. I think your body is not sexy enough, so I brought you a shit and a urine basin to pour it on my head?"

After being scolded by the slap, Zhou Dafu suddenly realized.

This is not the way to make money in a hurry.

"I dare to ask the master, when will it start selling?"

Zhou Dafu asked cautiously.

Zhou Youde thought to himself that he was such a fool, and he came to ask me what I wanted you to do.

"We can only start selling books if Miaofengtang dares not sell them in Hangzhou!"

Zhou Dafu savored Zhou Youde's words carefully, and after a long time he slapped his head, "What the master means is that we took over the Journey to the West after the Xu family voluntarily withdrew. This is just a legitimate statement. After all, the author has to have a meal, just to sell the manuscripts. But... how could the Xu family easily give up? Besides, if they quit, the old guy will be useless. We will not get the latest manuscripts."

Zhou Youde was almost fainted from anger.

"You only need to follow the latest chapter and then you can find someone to continue writing. As long as there is no deviation in the big things, do you think anyone can see it?"

From the beginning, Zhou Youde did not think about digging up the guy Xu completely, but used him to get some manuscripts of the following chapters of the Journey to the West.

It is OK to pay some money in this process, after all, problems that can be solved with money are not a problem.

But he doesn't like being controlled by others, nor can he accept being threatened.

So this guy from Xu Family Bookstore is destined to be an abandoned son who was kicked out after taking advantage of it.

"What the master means is to hire someone to continue writing the Journey to the West?"

Zhou Dafu said in surprise.

"The premise is that the Xu family dare not open a store in Hangzhou again."

Zhou Youde pointed out simply and clearly.

As long as the Xu family no longer opens a bookstore, only the Zhou family has manuscripts.

As long as the quality of the previous chapters is guaranteed, the old customers believe that Zhou's Journey to the West is orthodox and are willing to pay for it. When they develop the habit of reading, even if they change their writing, there will be no difference.

The author of the original book is far away in Dinghai and has no sales channels, which will not pose a threat to the Zhou family's "fakes".

Stolen the wrongs and hide the truth from the sea.

This is Zhou Youde's wishful thinking.

At this moment, Zhou Dafu admired the master and was overwhelmed.

This is really a wonderful chess step by step.

"I don't need to teach you how to do it in detail?"

"Don't worry, Master, I'll cover it all with the villain."

Zhou Dafu patted his chest and promised.

...

...

Other karma in Santai Mountain.

On the second floor of the bamboo building, Xu Wei sat on the official hat chair in the south of the rosewood. Listening to Xu Zhen telling the whole process of meeting with someone today, he thought in his heart that the fish finally took the bait.

"You said that the one who contacted you was a woman. She gave you a silver note, took the manuscript and left."

"It's exactly. The villain gave her the manuscript as the shopkeeper's instructions and left, and did not follow her."

Xu Zhen replied respectfully.

“You did a great job.”

Xu Wei nodded: "You can go home and rest. If they come to you again, act according to the plan."

"The villain obeys the order."

Xu Zhen hugged her fists and retreated respectfully.

So far, everything is still under Xu Wei's expectations.

He expected that the person who opposed the Xu family would not reveal his true face, but would use the hands of others to cover up his eyes and ears.

But this is actually not important at all.

He doesn't need to know who it is now, as long as the other party reaches out and you'll be hit.

Xu Wei and Xu Yan discussed the entire plan, and it was indeed perfect.

The evil man who stretched out his hand would not know until the end that he was actually digging his own grave.

It’s just a pity that Miaofengtang has to sacrifice some time to make a profit for this.

But this is sufficient and necessary. Without catching the mastermind behind the scenes, how could the Xu family do business in Hangzhou safely?
