Chapter 158: The Master of the Painting

Nie Shuyao said: "You returned the painting to Senior Sister Ruping." ”

"What!" Feng Wuya was startled and asked, "Ruping, she, ...... Go? ”

Nie Shuyao didn't know why, blinked his eyes and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"Ruping her, she ......."

"Okay, I understand what you're going to say." Nie Shuyao raised his hand to stop his blind thoughts, and said, "Ruping is not dead, it was yesterday when you flew up that she threw the painting to Qi Wenzhai in the dark." ”

"What about the paintings?" Feng Wuya asked rhetorically.

Nie Shuyao said: "Yes, what about the painting?" Qi Wenzhai died, and no one found the painting. We believe that whoever owns the painting is now has something to do with the case. Even if the person who picked up the painting is not a murderer, he must have seen the murderer, so we have to find the owner of the painting. ”

Feng Wuya said again: "But the painting was not Qi Wenzhai's in the first place, even he wants to find the owner of the painting?" ”

"What's going on? Let's talk about it. Nie Shuyao felt that there was a story in it, and looked at Feng Wuya with blazing eyes, his face full of anticipation.

Feng Wuya sighed, sat on the ground, and spoke slowly.

"That was what happened when we first came to Fucheng, and Moon Shadow and I secretly left the troupe because we wanted to visit Fucheng first. Finally, I walked to a small Taoist temple in the east of the city to rest, where I met Qi Wenzhai, who also came out to shop. I asked him about the interesting places here, and I became familiar with them as soon as I went back and forth.

But when we walked to the ancient Tan of the Taoist temple, we picked up a painting, the painting was really good, the beauty in it seemed to have lived, and the scene of the painting was taken from that Gu Tan. Qi Wenzhai couldn't put it down, saying that seeing this painting reminded him of a playbook.

Two days later, he found the immortal class and handed me the script of "Mandarin Duck Mistake", which was when he met Ruping's sister. He started writing this play last year, and it was finally completed after seeing the painting. This play was very well written, and the people of our longevity class practiced day and night, and finally completed it on Qi Wenzhai's grandmother's birthday, and at the same time, we also went to Qi's house to perform a performance. ”

Hearing this, Nie Shuyao asked, "You had a quarrel with him when you were in the Qi family, for what?" ”

Feng Wuya replied, "The quarrel is also for that painting." I want to send the painting back to the Taoist temple, maybe the person who lost the painting will come to find it, but the second son of Qi is reluctant to give up this painting, saying that it is fate that he picked it up, and he wants to see more. ”

"And then?"

"In the end, he didn't say anything about me, so he threw the painting to me in a bad mood." Feng Wuya sighed, "I didn't expect that such a thing happened before this painting was sent to the Taoist temple, I knew that this was the case, and it was better to leave this painting to Qi Wenzhai." ”

Nie Shuyao asked again: "What kind of painting is that?" ”

Feng Wuya said: "The woman in the painting can be described as a disaster-level beauty, but now it seems that the painting is an ominous thing at all, Qi Wenzhai should be obsessed with the person in the painting." I remember that there was a poem on it, and it was also appropriate for the painting. ”

"What poem?"

Feng Wuya pondered for a moment, and said: "The duckweed green brocade pond is penetrated, and the summer warbler is playing with roses." No one looks at the light rain all day long, and the mandarin ducks are relatively bathed in red. ”

A colorful picture appeared in Nie Shuyao's mind, a green pond, pale yellow roses, a graceful warbler's cry, and a pair of brightly colored mandarin ducks.

"The woman is wearing a yellow shirt?"

Feng Wuya was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly, "It's just that the woman's face has a look of anticipation, as if she is waiting for something." ”

"Didn't get paid?" Nie Shuyao asked again.

Feng Wuya shook his head, "No." ”

The two of them were silent, and they didn't speak Shen Xinlu: "In my opinion, we don't have to worry about the content of this painting first, let's find the owner of the painting first." ”

Nie Shuyao said: "What I said is that the point is that this painting is missing." Let's put up a notice tomorrow and try to force that man out as soon as possible. ”

Unconsciously, half an hour passed, and Nie Shuyao still felt that there were a lot of things that had not been asked, so she smiled apologetically at the eldest brother of the servant, and asked Xiang Feng Wuya again: "You didn't suffer any crimes here, did you?" Otherwise, we will give it to the prefect...... You know. ”

What she meant was whether she wanted to send some silver or something to the prefect, and the province was under a lot of pressure from the government, so it would not be good to punish Feng Wuya.

Feng Wuya understood the meaning of these words very well, shook his head and said, "No." Wu Shizi has just been here, and if the case can be solved within ten days, I shouldn't be beaten. So, please, two. ”

"Oh!" Nie Shuyao said: "Wu Shizi's movements are really fast. ”

"He has a relationship with Senior Brother Xie...... Not bad! Feng Wuya's face was a little unnatural when he said this.

Nie Shuyao blinked again, seemed to understand something, and said with a smile: "However, our fees are not low." Presumably, Brother Feng should be able to bear it. ”

Feng Wuya hurriedly said: "As long as you can still be innocent, the cost is not a problem." ”

Nie Shuyao smiled: "Well, that's good." For the sake of our acquaintance, we won't sign the agreement or anything. Brother Feng is here to wait for our good news, farewell. ”

Under the repeated urging of the officials, Nie Shuyao and Shen Xinlu left the prison.

As soon as they left, Feng Wuya squatted on the ground without any image, and sighed: "I'm very poor, what should I do if I can't afford to pay it back then?" ”

Then, lying back, the whole person fell to the ground in a big shape, muttering: "It's a big deal to sell yourself." Alas, so be it! ”

Nie Shuyao and Shen Xinlu returned to Koi Residence, and the group began to write notices, and anyone who could write did it. By the time of dinner, everyone's hands were sore, but they also wrote a lot of notices.

After dinner, everyone started, each with a paste, and walked through the streets and alleys with signs. Everyone is divided into regions, Nie Shuyao and Yuqin are only responsible for a few streets including Yanzi Hutong.

It was busy until the end of the day, and the entire Fucheng was basically finished. I think that tomorrow morning, this "inspiration for painting" will become a topic of conversation on the streets.

Fortunately, at this time, there is no rule against scribbling, and there are very few people who scribble. Except for some self-proclaimed scholars, they are very fond of inscribed poems on some walls.

Sure enough, on the second day, there was a poem circulating all over the street, this poem was the poem on the painting, but this poem was Du Mu's "Qi'an County Houchi Quatrain" in the Tang Dynasty.

Everyone was sent out by Nie Shuyao, and they went out to inquire about the news.

Nie Shuyao and Yuqin also went out after breakfast, and they walked all the way to Desheng Building. Many people along the way were talking about the painting posting, and there were a lot of rewards given on it, of course, these would eventually be counted in Feng Wuya's account.

It was two hundred taels of silver, which was not a small number for the people in the market, and many people spontaneously went out to inquire about this painting, anyway, the notice also said that this was not a famous painting.

When he walked quickly to Desheng Building, he killed a person from the small alley, grabbed Nie Shuyao's arm and dragged him into the small alley.

"Alas! What do you want to do? Let go of my young lady! Yuqin said loudly.

It was Ruping who was pulling Nie Shuyao, and she said hatefully: "Don't shout!" If you don't want your young lady to get hurt, come with me. ”

Ruping was holding a pair of scissors in her hand, dragging Nie Shuyao's arm with one hand and threatening her with scissors in the other.

In Nie Shuyao's opinion, these scissors were not threatening at all, but she still pretended to be afraid and said, "Ruping, what do you want to do?" ”

"Don't do anything, just follow me. Don't you also want to know who took the picture? As long as I bring you to her, I will know who killed Second Young Master Qi. Ruping said tremblingly.

Nie Shuyao said: "Ruping, I'll go with you." But can you please take the scissors away first, I promise not to run away and not to shout. Seeing how shaky your hands are, I'm afraid you'll scratch my face, I don't want to be faceless. ”

"Humph! Forgive me for not daring. Ruping glanced at Nie Shuyao.

Nie Shuyao felt that Ruping's appearance was a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere. But Ruping is from Yangzhou, and she has never been to Yangzhou, why is there a sense of familiarity?

Ruping walked in front, Nie Shuyao pondered in the back, holding her hand and shaking Yuqin, the more she looked at Ruping, the more she felt like a person.

Yuqin was not as bold as Nie Shuyao, and whispered: "Miss, let's escape, let Jiang Gongzi and them come, okay?" ”

Nie Shuyao shook her head decisively, "It's too late, don't worry, it'll be fine." ”

She believed that with her diligent skills, ordinary people couldn't do anything about herself, but she still whispered: "Yuqin, if something is wrong for a while, you run away immediately, I have a way to protect myself." ”

Yuqin nodded vigorously, but she was thinking about finding something to defend herself, and if there was an accident, she would definitely do her best to protect the safety of the young lady. Walking in the small alley, she grabbed a broken piece of bamboo, which was also a sharp weapon.

The small alley is very deep and not straight, and the end of the alley cannot be seen from the mouth of the alley. After turning several corners, Nie Shuyao was taken to an old house.

Pushing open the door that was about to fall, I entered a room that was poorly lit and covered with cobwebs.

Ruping immediately said: "The person has brought, the woman should come out quickly." ”

"Woman?" Nie Shuyao muttered to herself, she had a bad feeling in her heart.

It was a long time before someone walked in through the back door of the house.

Although the light in the room was not good, Nie Shuyao still recognized the person at first sight, and the bad feeling in her heart was finally implemented.

"Jiang Wan'er?"

Jiang Wan'er smiled and said, "We meet again." ”

Nie Shuyao also smiled: "Yes, I didn't expect that you still have that face, can you change your face a little better." ”

Jiang Wan'er's appearance at this time is still a peach, this face Nie Shuyao doesn't like it very much, every time she sees it, it is the beginning of trouble.

"What's wrong with my face?" Jiang Wan'er touched her face and smiled.

Yuqin saw that it was Jiang Wan'er, and the broken bamboo piece in her hand was also loosened, she knew that although Jiang Wan'er was not good, she would not hurt them.

"You ...... Do you know? Ruping exclaimed.

Nie Shuyao and Jiang Wan'er looked at her together, and the two of them showed the same look in their eyes, that is, pity!

At the same time, Jiang Yi took a young man to Yanzi Hutong. It is strange that Yongbo actually agreed to this man's entry, but Yongbo took them the other way. R1152
