Chapter 43: The Future
Chen Mu bent down and entered the tent.
He was only in his early thirties, his face was as white as jade, his beard was carefully trimmed, and he looked so dignified that he could even be described as handsome.
Chen Mu also held a hole flute in his hand, although it was not as rare as Mr. Shouyang's bibi flute, but it was not ordinary.
He suddenly saw that in addition to Captain Qi in the tent, Li Cao, who had just said goodbye on the day, was also there, he was slightly stunned, and then he restrained the surprise on his face and changed it to a smile: "Li Lushi, why are you here?" Could it be that you are looking for something with Chen? ”
Wen Sheng and Xin Xiaosi hid next to each other behind the tent, at this time, no one cared about whether she was a man or a woman, Wen Sheng didn't feel the atmosphere tense, she just remembered many legends and romances she had seen in her previous life a little out of place, and in those stories, there were often knife and axe hands who hid like her, just waiting for the master to smash the cup.
Li Cao didn't speak, and looked at Chen Mu seriously from head to toe.
Qi Peng took a step forward and immediately caught him between him and the officer who led Chen Mu forward.
Chen Mu felt a little furious in his heart, and smiled reluctantly: "Something happened, but what did our senior brother do inappropriately and make it difficult for the record?" ”
"Mr. Chen's city government is both deep and cautious, and he has played with more than 1,000 people in my general's mansion," Li Cao smiled meaningfully, "It's just that the sky net is magnificent and not leaky, just now, a friend of Bai Gongzi sent us a painting." Bai Dianshi's son, Mr. Chen, don't forget who he is, it is the Bai Linyuan who you took the trouble to instruct the Dongyi people to exterminate the mouth. ”
After saying this, Li Cao showed a look of deep disgust, and he didn't listen to Chen Mu's explanation, and with a wave of his hand, Qi Peng went up and held him down like a little chicken.
Chen Mu stammered and tried to defend: "You, what are you talking about, I don't understand!" ”
Wen Sheng quietly probed, at this time Li Cao had already turned his back to her and showed Chen Mu the scroll, Wen Sheng paid attention to Chen Mu's expression, as the scroll gradually opened, Chen Mu's face lost blood, and his hands trembled violently, although he was still quibbling, his mouth had begun to become incoherent.
The other people in this tent didn't know that although Wen Sheng's painting was out of imagination, one stroke at a time completely imitated Bai Linyuan's rigorous and slightly dull painting method, the merchant was still the merchant, but he had not yet met the fat lady who bought his goods, and the Yuan family's carriage had just driven up the street, and had not yet come to the door of the orchid garden, which almost advanced the scene in Bai Linyuan's painting by half a quarter of an hour.
What are you afraid of, this is ironclad evidence in the eyes of Chen Mu, who is good at painting.
The painting of him and the easy-to-look Shang Qi standing in a hidden place and whispering is simply a reproduction of that time, which is irrefutable.
Chen Mu never dreamed that the ironclad evidence in Li Cao's hand was fake, and he just deceived him by turning his face and taking people.
Wen Sheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, no need to ask again, just looking at this reaction, there was no one else, it was Chen Mu who did it, and there would be no mistake.
Li Cao has much more experience in dealing with people than Wen Sheng, and he has a judgment as soon as he opens the scroll in his hand, and he hates spies, especially those who try to even count the general's mansion, and sharply ordered Qi Peng: "Take care of this Dongyi dog, don't let him have a chance to seek death!" ”
Qi Peng snatched Chen Mu's hole flute, threw it aside without looking at it, and started with his subordinates, wiping his shoulders and arms to tie Chen Mu's five flowers, he was still not at ease, while Chen Mu was struggling to open his mouth, no matter what he said, he gave a big mouth with his backhand, and he dislocated his chin, grabbed the rag on the table and stuffed it in.
What else is there to be polite to the enemy's spies.
After disposing of Chen Mu, Qi Peng asked Li Cao for instructions: "Record, is this Dongyi dog killed or killed?" ”
Li Cao thought about it, since the person was not wrong, there was no need to hide it from Mr. Shouyang's other disciples, and he confessed: "Send someone to check his luggage, and search him well." Take a few people to find a place, and I'll give you an hour, pry open his mouth, and tell him to tell him honestly and clearly, and I want a complete confession. Little four, you go with you! ”
Xin Xiaosi answered, and walked out with Wen Sheng.
The group of cronies under Ji Nantang do things neatly and neatly, and they don't need outsiders to intervene to help at all. Wen Sheng just followed from beginning to end to watch a lively scene.
Qi Peng took the order and took Chen Mu away with his subordinates and Xin Xiaosi.
There were only two left in the tent, Li Cao and Wen Sheng, Li Cao was deeply touched and sighed: "Thanks to your painting." ”
He carefully put away the scroll in his hand, and made up his mind that no matter who asked about it, he would say that this painting was painted by Bai Linyuan, and with Chen Mu's confession, the case would never be overturned.
This incident made him vigilant, and he also felt that there was a lack of people like Wen Sheng around him, so he couldn't help but bring up the old things again: "Miss Gu, have you thought about it, are you willing to come to General Ji to do things?" ”
The other party was invited so many times, Wen Sheng had to say his true thoughts: "Record, I am very grateful that you value me so much, and are willing to introduce me to General Ji, just to speak from my heart, I am only good at painting, this time the matter is more special, so I can use it, not to mention that there are countless people in the world who are stronger than me in this world." She smiled and politely refused: "I'm still young, I want to go out for a walk, take a look, and learn more." ”
Li Cao nodded, Wen Sheng's answer made him regretful and unexpected, the other party is so young, clear-minded, and ambitious, the only pity is about her daughter.
He thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Then Miss Gu, would you like to go to the capital with them?" I can talk to Mr. Shouyang's disciples, and ask them in the name of the General's Mansion to send you to study in the Xuanyin Pavilion when you arrive in Beijing. ”
Wen Sheng's heart was shocked, and he said unexpectedly: "Is it really possible?" "Learning the piano is a wish she brought from her previous life.
Li Cao smiled: "Speaking of this matter, they owe us a favor." ”
Wen Sheng was overjoyed and bowed to Li Caoshen: "Thank you for the record." She had already heard the legend of the Xuanyin Pavilion of the Great Liang Kingdom from Yunlu and others, and knew how rare this opportunity was. If it weren't for Li Cao's use of the general's mansion, with her nameless cloth clothes and a woman, it would have been extremely difficult to enter the Xuanyin Pavilion to learn music and rhythm.
Li Cao smiled and waved his hand, and before he could speak, his subordinates outside the tent reported in a low voice: "Record, a few disciples of Mr. Shouyang found that the surname Chen was missing, and the soldiers and horses accompanied Fei Wenyou to find Captain Qi." ”
At this time, Wen Sheng also heard a commotion from afar.
Li Cao put away the scroll, looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Call them in." ”
