Chapter Eighty-One: The Truth Comes Out

said something very inexplicable, Li Su looked at Cheng Chumo in a daze, and didn't say anything for a while.

The shop pΓΉ was indeed smashed by him, and the loss of the secret recipe for printing the book can be regarded as having an indirect relationship with the Cheng family, but the Cheng family did not say a word and took all the responsibilities, this matter is strange, no matter how you talk about it, it should not be this result.

In an instant, countless speculations popped up in Li Su's mind.

If movable type printing is valuable, it may be worth a little, after all, it is one of the four major inventions, it is an auxiliary tool for the inheritance of Chinese civilization, the more books are printed, the more people read, and the inheritance of culture is more common.

But Li Su has not been arrogant enough to infinitely exaggerate its role, whether it is an invention or a theory, the world has learned about it, to accepted it, and then slowly got used to it, and finally used it as a commonly used tool, this process is very long, and it is impossible to become popular all over the world as soon as it appears...... Find a flower-like Huanghua aunt for my dad and let him spoil it.

It's not a very brilliant thing, at least not yet, but Li Su didn't expect that because of this thing, things would get bigger and bigger.

Now Cheng Chumo's apology will undoubtedly lead things in a more complicated direction.

"What the hell is going on? Isn't it related to a lady who has been blessed with a husband from the sixth grade? What about further in? Li Su asked with a solemn expression.

Cheng Chumo shook his head: "I can't check it, I can't check it, in short, the Cheng family is responsible for this matter, you ...... Let's stop here, if you have any ideas, just mention it, the secret recipe can't be recovered, you just have to say if you want money and land, and the Cheng family will give it. ”

Li Su stared at him and said, "I don't want money, I don't want land, just one result." ”

"I can't give results."

Li Su was silent for a moment and said, "What kind of character is behind it, even your Cheng family is afraid?" ”

Cheng Chumo smiled bitterly: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's ......, it's just that, don't talk about it, anyway, the Cheng family can't stand you." ”

Looking at Cheng Chumo's honest face, Li Su suddenly seemed to understand something.

**********************************************************

Dongyang had just left the palace gate with Li Shimin's handwritten inscription, and the two carriages had already galloped to Taiping Village.

The Li family's new house has been largely completed, and only the final capping work is left, Li Su squatted on the edge of the construction site and watched the craftsmen busy with a lazy expression, and the sound of squeaky axles attracted his attention.

The two wide-topped carriages have a very simple appearance, and the gray paint along the sides of the canopy has peeled off a lot, which looks a little shabby.

Two coachmen in short shirts drove, and on the wheel of the first carriage sat a middle-aged man in a blue shirt and a gauze crown, with a white face and a smile on his face, and his smile looked very kind, which made people feel a sense of intimacy at first sight.

Li Su had a faint premonition in his heart, and sure enough, the two carriages stopped in front of the Li family's courtyard, and the middle-aged man jumped out of the carriage, looked around first, and after focusing his eyes on Li Su, he seemed to have found the target, and walked towards Li Su with a more and more kind smile.

"This young hero is Li Su, who has recently become famous in Chang'an?" The middle-aged man asked with a smile.

Li Su had no choice but to return the salute: "It's the kid." ”

"Haha, I have heard for a long time that the young man of the Li family is both civil and military, and he can be good at poetry and martial arts, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary, and I will give a gift to Cui Hou'an."

After speaking, Cui Houan took a long look.

Li Su was confused, subconsciously returned the salute, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he quickly straightened up, and said in a lost voice: "Cui? Qinghe Choi or Boling Choi? ”

Cui Houan's smile was mixed with a bit of bitterness, and he nodded: "Qinghe Cui Clan." ”

Li Su smiled, Cui Houan also smiled, and the two looked directly at each other and smiled heartily.

Well, the matter has finally come to light, and it can be explained clearly.

The person behind it is actually Qinghe Cui's ......

Only the gate valve of the five surnames and seven sects has such energy, and the shopkeeper Zhao was transferred from the Chang'an County Ya to Dali Temple, and the mouth of the shopkeeper Zhao was pried open, and the secret recipe of movable type printing was obtained.

Whether it is Cheng Chumo who smashed the store, whether it is the Chang'an County official who committed suicide by drinking poisonous wine, or the shopkeeper Zhao who was pried open, they are all chess pieces on the Cui family's chessboard, including Cheng Chumo who came to apologize just now, and it was also pushed by the big hand of chess.

No wonder the Cheng family gritted their teeth and took the whole thing down, and no wonder Cheng Chumo wanted to apologize on behalf of the Cheng family, speaking of which, this matter can really only be led by the Cheng family, because the wife of the main house married by Cheng Biting Jin is from the Qinghe Cui family, Qinghe Cui's family is Cheng Biting Jin's father-in-law, and it is also Cheng Chumo's maternal uncle's family, who will come if he doesn't come to apologize?

Li Su's thoughts were very chaotic, like a mess, but reason ordered him to laugh now, laugh happily and sweetly.

"It turned out to be Cui's, no wonder, no wonder ......" Li Su sighed with a smile, without the slightest indignation on his face, but with a sigh of impermanence.

Cui Houan kept staring at Li Su's face, carefully observing any detail on his face that revealed his inner thoughts, unfortunately, Li Su's smile was too sweet and pure, and he couldn't find any clues on his face.

"It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, I came here to apologize to Li Gongzi, the Cui family has done a bad job in this matter, and they will be punished at will, and there will be no complaints." Cui Houan waved at Li Su, his tone was very sincere, and even with a little remorse.

It's very interesting, the Cui family made a lot of calculations, but they never expected that it was Li Su who invented movable type printing. They only think that a small person in the market occasionally invents a novelty, this thing is not important to ordinary people, and it can't even spread out a little wave, and now in these years, the vast majority of people are illiterate, and the "book" is printed fast and slow, and has nothing to do with the lives of the people.

But for the Cui family, the meaning of movable type printing is different. Qinghe Cui clan is a wang family, its origin can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period of the Qi State Minister, later the clan multiplication is getting stronger and stronger, the branches are as countless as thousands of rivers returning to the sea, more than 1,000 years Cui's family has poured out of the high-ranking officials and ministers, until today it is still listed as the first gate of the five surnames and seven sects, its power affects most of the Hebei and Shandong regions, it can be described as brilliant and prosperous, rare in ancient and modern times.

With such a huge gate, in order to consolidate its position unshakable, it is natural to earn prestige, win the hearts of literati, and the hearts of the people, so that the court and the emperor will respect the Cui family, respect the Cui family, and never dare to do anything to the Cui family. The emergence of Li Su's movable type printing undoubtedly provided an excellent opportunity for the Cui family, with it, it was convenient for literati to read, and more books could be read.
