Chapter 228: Alone
Sending Zhao Chang away, Wei Yan and Dye Mo and the others opened a mechanism somewhere in the backyard and walked into the secret room. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info opened the scroll and studied the painting in ink. After a while, Elder Chen Si came from the other end of the secret passage, with a middle-aged man with a goatee behind him.
"Holy Lord, this is Mr. Murong of Baiye Academy, who has studied Master Wu Yanben's paintings very much, and his subordinates specially took him to take a look."
Wei Yan nodded, and Mr. Murong approached the scroll, approached the paper, and looked at it seriously.
After about half an hour, Mr. Murong straightened up, twisted his beard and said, "It's Mr. Wu Yanben's real handiwork." I wonder where this painting came from? ”
Wei Yan groaned: "Gifted by a friend." What is the result of the inquiries of the seniors in the palace? ”
Chen Si sighed: "Holy Lord, time is too short, and only the last buyer was the former Great Sima. I haven't been able to find out where I am now......"
"Is it the former crown princess's maiden family?" Wei Yan knew in his heart that it seemed that after Zuo's house was raided, this painting was not in the palace, and I don't know what method Helian County used to get it out.
"Exactly. It's just that I don't know if the Zuo family only collects this painting? ”
"Elder Chen, what do you mean?"
Chen Si bowed and said, "Holy Lord, please forgive your subordinates for taking the liberty of passing on other things when the previous Holy Lord taught the holy relics?" In the holy palace, there was also a painting by Wu Yanben, which was the "Crane Dance Picture" with the same name as this "Spring Intention in the Hidden Valley". ”
Wei Yan was puzzled: "What does the elder mean is that the treasures of the Holy Palace may be embezzled by others?" It's just that I don't know anything about it, and even the Xun in my hand, if I don't encounter the ink, I can't know that it is a netherworld holy relic. ”
Elder Chen sighed, "It's a pity, many of the belongings and weapons in the Holy Palace, only the previous Holy Lords know their whereabouts, but in your generation, they are scattered and cannot be traced. ”
After sending Elder Chen and Mr. Murong there, Wei Yan walked into the room with the scroll in his arms. Spoon served her to bed, and was about to blow out the candle, but heard her say: "Spoon, I want to read a book, you go out first." ”
As soon as the spoon was gone, Wei Yan's face sank. She sat up with her clothes on, and shouted coldly, "Come out!" ”
A man came out from behind the screen, looking at her with a smile on his face.
"How do you know it's Benhou?"
"Zhao Chang said that you have a banquet tonight...... and as soon as you come in, you smell a strong smell of wine in the room."
"Does that have to be Benhou? Can't be a drunken flower thief? ”
Wei Yan sneered: "There are a few of my entourages living downstairs, ordinary thieves, who can't enter this room." ”
"You're clever." He chuckled and said, "Ben Hou is afraid that the painting will be lost, so he has come to take a look." ”
"How dare you bother the Hou Ye? The picture scroll is fine, Hou Ye, please rest assured. ”
"Very good! You know, tomorrow the Japanese Hou will still need to return the scroll. There is no room for error. ”
"Why does Lord Hou trust the people's daughter? If the folk girl runs away with the painting, how will the Hou Ye be treated? ”
"Huh!" Helian County laughed and said, "Where can you escape?" Do you think too highly of yourself, or do you despise Benhou too much? ”
His eyes twinkled, and he could see that he was in a good mood.
"Master Hou is right! Can the folk girl ask where this painting came from? ”
"Palace. The Empress Dowager took the painting, and Ben Hou took advantage of the Empress Dowager's lunch break to steal the painting. Ben Hou is going to accompany you to finish this big show before the Empress Dowager summons Ben Hou to ask for guilt tomorrow. Then obediently entered the palace to plead guilty. ”
He smiled idly, talking about this appalling thing, and his smile did not diminish by half a point, as if he was sure that the Queen Mother would not blame him. It is quite pampered and arrogant.
Wei Yan couldn't help but chuckle, raised his eyebrows and glanced at him and said, "Hou Ye is really bold, I'm afraid that nothing in the world can scare Hou Ye, right?" It's just that if anyone else knows about it...... Demoted the ...... of Master Hou"
"Don't say it, someone really knows about it!"
"That'...... What should I do? Wei Yan was taken aback, and let people know that Helian County intended to help, and it was not her real ability to get this painting, how could the plan to restore the Holy Palace be carried out?
"I might as well tell you that this painting is dedicated by Guanglu Temple."
"Lord Kim? So from the beginning, he knew Hou Ye's plan? Why didn't he debunk it on the spot? ”
Helian Jun smiled mysteriously: "You play a tune and listen to it, Ben Hou will tell you again!" ”
Wei Yan shook his head helplessly: "Master Hou, the folk girl is worried, Master Hou don't joke with the folk girl......"
Helian pouted in disappointment, "It's so stingy. Okay, let me tell you, this painting is owned by the former Da Sima, when the house was raided, Guanglu Siqing asked for an errand to keep accounts for the emperor, and then took the painting away. Ten days ago, there was a fat child in the household department, and the household department Shangshu had offended the empress dowager, and now he was struggling to think that the empress dowager forgave him for his mistakes. Guanglu Siqing saw this and wanted to arrange for his son to enter the household, so he used this painting to bribe the Empress Dowager, and planned to prevaricate if someone asked, saying that the Empress Dowager accidentally found this painting when she sorted out the relics of the first emperor...... So ......"
He winked at her and smiled: "Ben Hou just told him to eat this dumb loss to his face!" Looking at the day when he heard that Ben Hou asked for this painting, that face, tsk, really wonderful! Ben Hou almost couldn't help laughing out loud at that time! ”
In fact, he was laughing out loud all the time, okay? His ability to bully people has reached the pinnacle.
Wei Yan shook his head with a smile, and said gratefully: "In order to help the people's girls attract business, let the Hou Ye work so hard, the people's daughters are really ......."
"Want to say thank you?" Helian Jun interrupted her with a grin, "Well, Ben Hou has something to ask you to help with. ”
It turned out that he had been waiting for her words for a long time! Wei Yan said helplessly: "Master Hou, please speak." ”
"There is a banquet in King Lu's mansion the day after tomorrow, you go with Ben Hou."
Accompany him to a banquet? As a "good friend"?
Capturing the cunning in his eyes, she knew she had guessed correctly.
"When the time comes, you cooperate with Benhou, don't dismantle the stage."
"Who are the attendees?" Wei Yan could already foresee how many surprised or inquiring eyes she would usher in at that time.
"Are you worried that you're going to run into your old flame?" Helian Jun leaned on the screen, crossed his arms and looked at him with a smile, "Speaking of which, since Benhou returned to Beijing, he has feasted every night, but he has never met that person. Do you think he heard about the two of us and deliberately avoided Ben Hou? ”
Wei Yan's eyebrows were cold, "Master Hou said cautiously." Xu Gongzi and the folk girl have no old relationship, Hou Ye must not listen to rumors, it will ruin Xu Gongzi's reputation. ”
"Young Master Xu? Yes! It turned out to be him! Ben Hou just heard that he had snatched a beauty from the hands of the first emperor at the palace banquet, and he was engaged, but in the end he died without a problem somehow. I didn't expect you two to really have old things. Helian smiled as he twisted the mustache on his lips.
"Master Hou, you ......"
Tricked by him! actually took the initiative to say the word "Xu Gongzi......
Wei Yan turned his head and decided not to pay attention to this cunning bad guy.
Helian Jun took two steps closer and said in a low voice: "Wei Yan, if Ben Hou told you, he is now outside the door, monitoring you and me......"
"Impossible!" Wei Yan exclaimed, "He's ...... How could he? (To be continued.) )
