NovelEnglish104 Screen
Xiao Juan’s hearing was very sharp.
He could hear the movement clearly at the other end of the screen.
He heard the soft scrape of clothes as she sat down. He could still hear the inkstone gently clink against the tabletop. She must be fiddling with it.
Then everything went silent.
Xiao Juan guessed that she was in a daze.
He closed his eyes and told himself to stop paying attention to the people around him. He had to concentrate on what he was doing.
Just as he picked up the dossier and was about to consult it, he heard a knock on the other side of the screen.
Knock, knock.
Xiao Juan stopped what he was doing and looked at the screen beside him again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe saw a small head poke out from behind the screen.
Yu Niaoniao grabbed the edge of the screen with both hands and looked at the man eagerly.
“What’s my job today?”
Xiao Juan asked, “Do you see the box behind you?”
Yu Niaoniao turned around and saw two large boxes behind her.
She opened the box and saw that it was filled with books.
There were at least a few hundred books.
Yu Niaoniao immediately had a bad feeling.
Could it be that he wanted her to finish reading all these books?!
Then her hunch was confirmed.
Xiao Juan said, “Your job today is to read all these books, select the unqualified books, and summarize them for me.”
Yu Niaoniao casually flipped through them and realized that these books were exactly the same as the unqualified books she had screened yesterday.
She couldn’t resist asking, “Didn’t I read these books yesterday?”
Xiao Juan said, “These were confiscated from other bookstores in the city. They came from the same printing shop as the books yesterday. Look at the content of these books.”
The most direct way to find out if the anti-government poetry case was related to Prince Min was to screen all the books printed in his name.
If the contents of all the books were the same, it meant that all the books had been printed through the same carving. If the person who handed the original carving to the printing shop was Prince Min, the anti-government poetry case must be related to him.
Yu Niaoniao sighed, resigned herself to her fate, picked up the book, and began to work.
She felt like an emotionless scanning tool. Her eyes scanned the pages as she flipped through them.
There was a knock on the door and Yan Nanguan walked in.
“Greetings, Your Highness.”
Upon hearing this voice, Yu Niaoniao immediately put down the book and stuck her head out from behind the screen. She asked excitedly.
“Did you catch those two villains last night?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXiao Juan was speechless.
Why did he feel that this screen was completely unnecessary?
Yan Nanguan first glanced at Duke Lang. Seeing that he had no intention of stopping him, he answered.
“Miss Yu, I captured those two people near Ginkgo Street last night. I’ve already brought them back to the Justice Department. Now, they’re locked in jail and awaiting His Highness’s punishment.”
Xiao Juan instructed calmly, “Interrogate them first and see who instigated them.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Yan Nanguan accepted the order and left.
Xiao Juan was about to continue his work when he saw from the corner of his eye that the little head behind the screen had yet to leave.
“What else do you want to ask?”
Yu Niaoniao blinked. “How do you know they were ordered by someone?”
Xiao Juan said indifferently, “They don’t know you and have no grudge against you. Why would they suddenly target you? There must be someone behind them.”
Yu Niaoniao had a different opinion.
“Maybe they saw that I was young and beautiful and wanted to abduct me to sell for money?”
Xiao Juan said, “Then they are really pitiful. They are blind at such a young age.”
Yu Niaoniao was speechless.
