Chapter 16: Kneeling

The shopkeeper was shouted and ordered by Yu Shi, he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and soon took the best paper and pen in the tavern, put it on the table, and personally started to polish the ink for Yu Shi. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After grinding for a while, the shopkeeper put down the ink strip and said:

"My lord, the ink is ready."

Yu Shi nodded: "Well, you wait on the side, I have something to ask you." ”

The shopkeeper didn't know what was going on, but he vaguely felt that it was related to Mr. Ledger, and he couldn't help but feel worried, and stood aside a little uneasy.

Yu Shi looked at the ink inkstone, then picked up the wolf pen and dipped it in ink, saw that the shopkeeper was grinding very evenly, and couldn't help but look at the shopkeeper again, seeing the shopkeeper's face uneasy, he couldn't help but start painting while lifting the pen, and said slowly:

"Don't worry, as long as you talk back, Lord Ben won't eat you."

It's okay not to say this, but as soon as he said it, the shopkeeper immediately trembled, and replied in a trembling voice:

"Yes! Xiaomin must reply well! ”

In her previous life, as a princess of Wentai, in addition to learning various rules and etiquette since she was a child, she even learned riding and archery, and she was indispensable in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, among which Danqing learned the best.

So after drawing the portrait of the bookkeeper, Yushi showed it to the shopkeeper and asked:

"Like?"

The shopkeeper really didn't expect that it would only be a moment for Yu Shi to see Mr. Tent, and he could even draw him like a life, as if a real person was in front of him, and after a pause, he nodded and replied:

"Like! It's like! Adults draw it like it! ”

Three portraits in a row, Liancheng didn't need to look at the portrait of Mr. Tent to know how well Yu Shi was drawn, and said very proudly with a smile:

"Of course! Don't look at who painted it! ”

Liancheng's appearance with his own stained appearance greeted him was Yushi stuffed the painting into his arms and instructed:

"Send the order down and find it for me! Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find it out for me at noon tomorrow! ”

Liancheng immediately received the order: "Yes!" ”

Yu Shi remembered that Liancheng was still investigating the collusion between Yang Ke and Wang Jing, and asked how the investigation was now.

Lian Cheng looked ashamed, saying that Yang Ke's family had already gone to the empty building, and his wife and children had learned that they had returned to their parents' house, as for Yang Ke, he was nowhere to be found, and Wang Jing was always secretly staring at Wang Jing's side, but there was nothing suspicious so far.

In a word, there is basically nothing found.

Yu Shi thought that a day had passed, this day was not long, it was not short, it was enough for a person to die thousands of times, but Ma Ye was assassinated and killed at this critical juncture, which made her think, can the two be related?

But in the end, it is just a thought, and there is no evidence to confirm it, and it is impossible to make a conclusion at this time.

Yu Shi instructed Liancheng: "You must find Yang Ke as soon as possible, in addition to starting from Wang Jing, you can also find Yang Ke's wife appropriately." ”

Liancheng responded: "Yes! The subordinates immediately took a two-pronged approach, striving to find Mr. Na and Yang Ke in the shortest possible time! ”

Yu Shi said: "When I found Mrs. Yang, remember, I can't hurt people, no matter how mixed Yang Ke is, it won't hurt his wife and children." ”

After Liancheng responded again, he left with a freshly baked portrait of the tent, and there were no guests in the lobby, which was really deserted.

After Yu Shi motioned for the shopkeeper to sit down opposite her, she asked directly:

"What is the name of the bookkeeper?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Xiao Min doesn't know, Mr. Tent has always asked Mr. Tent to call him 'Mr. Tent'." ”

Hearing this, Yu Shi turned to ask, "Then you should always know who your owner is, right?" ”

can be the shopkeeper of this tavern that Zhong Qingchi deliberately concealed, thinking that he should be Zhong Qingchi's very trusting person.

Originally, Yushi was ready for the shopkeeper to resist to the end, and it was difficult to pry open the shopkeeper's mouth, but the next scene made Yushi unexpected.

The shopkeeper was only silent, as if he was considering, and he seemed to be struggling, this struggle was to hesitate between saying and not to say, and after only a moment of hesitation, he knelt down for Yushi:

"My lord! You must be the owner of the small people! ”

Yu Shi felt a little familiar when she heard this, and the shopkeeper's words reminded her of Zhong Xiaoli, Zhong Xiaoli also begged her and Luo Gong to make decisions for Zhong Qingchi, who was assassinated, she asked:

"Who the hell is your owner?"

Without talking in the lobby of the tavern, the shopkeeper invited Yu Shi into the backyard of the tavern, and across the patio was a row of rooms.

At a glance, the horizontal sides of the three rooms were exactly the size of the tavern faΓ§ade.

Entering the room on the far right, the shopkeeper asked Yu Shi to sit down at the table, and then went to pour hot water for Yu Shi to make tea, and Yu Shi just took advantage of this gap to look at the furnishings in the room.

It is very simple to furnish, but it can be seen that there is a delicate atmosphere in this simplicity, just like the painting scroll of "Distant Mountain Flower Pavilion" hanging on the wall.

Yu Shi's previous life was precious, the dignified princess of a country has seen a lot of rare treasures, not to mention all kinds of famous paintings, her own danqing is not bad, compared to other royal nobles, she has more insight into painting.

So at first glance, others will probably think that the painting scroll is nothing special, but Yu Shi can recognize at a glance that it is painted by a famous artist, even if it is not signed, it is difficult to hide its painting skills to reach the top.

Such an ordinary tavern, such an ordinary room, but there is such a famous painting of extraordinary value, no matter how stupid Yu Shi is, he will not think that the shopkeeper is a simple character.

The shopkeeper soaked the good rain before the Longjing, poured a cup for Yushi first, respectfully pushed it in front of the Yushi table, and poured himself a cup, saying:

"Xiaomin doesn't have any good tea, so please drink it to quench your thirst."

Yu Shi did not comment on the shopkeeper's modest words, but looked at the "Distant Mountain Flower Pavilion" meaningfully and said:

"Tea, I won't say much, but that painting, I'm very interested, why don't you tell the shopkeeper, is this "Far Mountain Flower Pavilion" given to you by your owner?"

The shopkeeper didn't expect that Yu Shi would be interested in the picture scroll that he had hung for more than a year, and thought that he had decided to confess to Yu Shi anyway, so that Yu Shi could help his owner make the decision, so he couldn't help but nod and say truthfully:

"It was indeed a gift from the owner!"

The shopkeeper then admitted that the owner of the tavern was indeed Zhong Qingchi, who was now attached to the horse.

The shopkeeper actually doesn't know how to paint, he just heard Zhong Qingchi say that this painting is called "Distant Mountain Flower Pavilion", although it is the true work of contemporary masters, but it has not been signed.

However, even if there is no payment, its value is also very high.

The shopkeeper heard Zhong Qingchi say this at first, and he didn't dare to accept it in every possible way, but in the end he couldn't resist Zhong Qingchi, so he accepted it, and the position that would be hung on the wall was also selected by Zhong Qingchi on the spot.

The shopkeeper said that because of the good location of the tavern, the business is very prosperous, and the monthly profit is naturally more, Zhong Qingchi is also very generous to him, and the monthly salary is double that of the peer shopkeeper, and the things sent are also very delicate and attentive, and it costs a lot every time.
