Ximen Shenhou's body was shocked, and Ximen Zhan Ying's face also changed color slightly. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

After a period of silence, I suddenly saw Shenhou clapping his hands and exclaiming: "The future is terrifying, little marquis, the old man actually used to hearsay, saying that there was a dull-brained prince in the Jinyi Hou Mansion, and today I learned that hearsay is really not credible, and the little marquis is thoughtful and meticulous, and he is a seasoned master of handling cases, and he may not think about it so far." ”

"The Divine Marquis has won the prize." Being praised by the old detective, Qi Ning was really a little embarrassed, "The class got the axe, which made the Shenhou smile." ”

Shenhou shook his head and said, "Little Hou Ye doesn't have to be humble. He looked at Simon Zhanying and said, "Do you know now, what is it called listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years?" Xiao Hou Ye's analysis is reasonable, you may think of this? ”

Although Ximen Zhanying felt that what Qi Ning said made a lot of sense, he was still unwilling to say: "Dad, how do you know that he came up with this?" If he went back and told his subordinates, and the subordinates helped him figure it out, it would not be unusual. ”

"Unrepentant." Shenhou snorted coldly, "How many times have I told you, there must be my teacher in the threesome, don't be self-righteous." He didn't look at Ximen Zhanying, and said to Qi Ning: "Little Marquis, if you are not the Marquis of Jinyi, the old man will definitely pull you to the Shenhou Mansion on an errand at all costs." ”

Qi Ning laughed, this Ximen Shenhou was completely different from what Qi Ning had expected, without the slightest swagger, although he occasionally showed a momentum of not being angry and arrogant, but the overall feeling was very approachable.

The two of them said speculation, just drank a few cups of home-cooked food, Qi Ning practiced the sword late last night, slept until noon before getting up to go to the banquet, on the way was already hungry, plus the home-cooked food made by Shenhou did taste very delicious, the two were not humble, while drinking and eating vegetables, it didn't take long for three dishes to bottom out.

Shenhou saw that Qi Ning was not restrained, quite free and easy, but also quite happy.

Only Ximen Zhanying had a cold face, and the two of them had a drink, so she picked up the wine jar next to her and helped pour the wine, and when she saw Qi Ning gobbling up, she turned her face from time to time, with a look of disdain.

"In this way, it is really very likely that the murderer is an official of the imperial court." Shenhou drank a glass of wine, and thoughtfully: "Little Marquis's words made the Shenhou Mansion find its target. ”

Ximen Zhanying frowned and said, "Dad, are you really going to send someone to investigate the military attache in Beijing?" There are not five hundred but three hundred military attachés in Beijing, so do you send out all the people to keep an eye on them one by one? And...... And if it involves court officials, can our Shenhou Mansion intervene? ”

"Miss Ying, although there are many military attachés, how many can be good at light skills?" Qi Ning thought to herself that this little girl's skin was still too tender, and it was also a shame that she still wanted to be an errand in the Shenhou Mansion, according to her current understanding, she might not be able to become a teacher after ten years of training, "And the corpse has shown that the murderer practiced hard kung fu in his hands, and these two points add up to find officials with extremely high light skills and extremely powerful kung fu in their hands." ”

Shenhou bowed his head and said, "That's right. ”

Ximen Zhanying was suddenly a little embarrassed, so he could only not speak.

"Shenhou, I'm also drunk, but I'm not sure if that's the case." Qi Ning said with a smile: "But because of my words, I let the Shenhou Mansion go astray." ”

"Not really." Ximen Zhanying finally caught the words, and immediately said: "Your words are just part of the clues, of course the Shenhou Mansion will not mess up his own inches because of your few words, the Marquis of Jinyi regards himself too important." ”

Qi Ning secretly wondered in his heart if you really want to be my enemy, always stirring up trouble, if you really want to find an opportunity, I want to teach you a good lesson.

Ximen Zhanying's figure is very positive, with long legs and hips, and her chest is also straight, her appearance is even better, and she also has a heroic temperament, but it's a pity that it's too cold, and it always looks like someone owes her money and doesn't pay it back.

"I'm relieved that Miss Ying said that." With Ximen Shenhou on the side, Qi Ning was not shocked and looked very cultivated, "In fact, it is not only officials who can't leave Beijing, but fortunately, there are other people, and ...... Shenhou, what Miss Ying said is right, if it involves court officials, can the Shenhou Mansion intervene? ”

Ximen Shenhou smiled faintly, picked up his wine glass and said: "If you are an official of the imperial court, you should be loyal to your duties and only do your own duty." But as an official, he secretly uses cruel means to cultivate evil skills, and it will be a matter of the rivers and lakes. Said with a smile: "Little Hou Ye, today you have done a great favor to the Shenhou Mansion, the old man owes you a favor, you say, what reward you want, as long as the old man can take it out, just ask." ”

Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "Shenhou is polite, I just talk about it, where can I ask for Shenhou's reward." ”

"The little Hou Ye is wrong, this is a case solving, it belongs to the official affairs of the imperial court, since the Hou Ye is helping to analyze the clues, it is helping the Shenhou Mansion, and the Shenhou Mansion can't be without expression." Shenhou smiled.

Qi Ning looked at Ximen Zhanying, Ximen Zhanying was startled, and couldn't help but take a step back, and said coldly: "You..... What are you looking at? ”

Qi Ning smiled secretly in his heart, thinking to himself, do you still think that I will find the Shenhou to ask you? With a cold face every day, there is no woman's tenderness like water at all, like an ice lump, not only can not warm people with him, but also makes people uncomfortable, don't say that it is impossible for Shenhou to send his daughter out, even if it is really possible, he will never ask for it.

He thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Shenhou, since you have spoken, if I refuse, it is really a little disrespectful, it is better to be like this, if Shenhou is willing, how about giving me a painting?" ”

"Painting?" Shenhou was stunned.

"yes, yes." Qi Ning smiled and said: "I know that Shenhou is one of the four masters of the four arts today, and the paintings are unmatched, in fact, I have always longed for Shenhou's paintings, and even hope that there can be a painting of Shenhou on the bedside, if Shenhou can give Mobao, then I will be grateful." ”

Ximen Zhanying hurriedly said: "Dad, you said it yourself, don't give it to someone to paint." ”

Qi Ning was stunned for a moment and sighed: "If that's the case, then don't embarrass the gods." ”

Shenhou hesitated for a moment before he said: "Little Marquis, the old man won't hide it from you, when it comes to paintings, the old man is actually just a first glimpse of the door, and he has nothing to do." However, he was regarded as one of the four artists. The old man used to like to make friends with people, take care of the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and rarely make friends on the rivers and lakes, so he used to send a few paintings out, but they were ......! sighed: "I just didn't expect that after those paintings were sent out, they were peddled and ..... And the price is extremely high, making a lot of noise, many people are still talking behind their backs, saying that the old man is greedy for money, hehe, in fact, I don't care what others say, just let my paintings be entangled with gold and silver, which is always unpleasant. ”

Qi Ning's heart suddenly tightened.

He actually knows the name of Shenhou's "painting mastery", and the paintings from his pen should be worth a lot of money, if he really gets a painting, when the time comes, he will find Yuan Rong to sell it, Yuan Rong has made a lot of elegant people, and if he really wants to sell, he should be able to sell it for a good price.

Now that Shenhou said it directly, it was a little embarrassing, even if he got the painting, he was embarrassed to sell it again, so he could only say seriously: "It's really angry, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are all works of art, how can they be bought and sold?" Shenhou, this kind of blasphemous person really can't be handed over. ”

Shenhou laughed and said: "The little marquis has this sentence, how can the old man be reluctant?" He got up and said, "Little Hou Ye, go to the studio with the old man and choose a pair." ”

Qi Ning was already full of wine and food at this time, thinking that even if he really couldn't sell it, it should be a very face-saving thing to hang a pair of "paintings" in the mansion at that time.

Ximen Zhanying waited by the side for a long time, and was already impatient, and hurriedly said: "Dad, then I'll clean up and go back to the Shenhou Mansion first." ”

"There's no hurry." Shenhou shook his head, as if he saw Ximen Zhanying's thoughts, and said, "Make tea first." Without further ado, he took Qi Ning to the studio.

Qi Ning walked a few steps, looked back and saw that Ximen Zhanying was staring at him coldly, winked at Ximen Zhanying, and pretended to follow behind Ximen Shenhou.

Ximen Zhanying clenched his pink fist, his teeth itching with hatred.

didn't take a few steps, and suddenly saw Qu Xiaocang coming in a hurry, and when he saw Shenhou, his expression became respectful, he quickened his pace, stepped forward and arched his hand: "Shenhou!" ”

"What's wrong?" Shenhou frowned.

This is his private place, there is nothing special, except for his own daughter, no one dares to enter and leave at will.

Qu Xiaocang glanced at Qi Ning, and said, "It's okay for you to say it." ”

"Shenhou, the beggar gang seems to be in trouble." Qu Xiaocang said: "The people in the investigation department have found that something is wrong with the beggar gang in the past few days, and they have been staring at it for several days. ”

Shenhou was calm: "The beggars are dead? What's going on? ”

When Qi Ning heard that it was a matter of the beggar gang, he immediately paid a little attention, but he deliberately turned around, as if he didn't care about the affairs of the Shenhou Mansion.

"The specific situation is still under investigation." Qu Xiaocang said: "Today, our people are staring, and the beggars helped the disciples out of the city, and found that they went out with the corpses from the city and buried the corpses on the outskirts of the city. ”

"Is there a conflict with other forces, or is there a civil strife among the beggars?" Shenhou asked lightly: "Why didn't you notice it before?" ”

Qu Xiaocang sweated on his forehead and said: "Shenhou, on the other side of the beggar gang, we have been staring at it, this time it happened very suddenly, there was no sign in advance, and there was no sign of conflict between the beggar gang and other forces. According to the figures reported below, thirteen corpses have been sent out in the past two days, because the beggar gang was involved, the Tiger God Battalion let them out, and also sent people to the Shenhou Mansion to communicate. ”

Shenhou pondered slightly, and then said: "Let Wenqu Han Tianxiao personally investigate this matter, if it is really a mess in the beggar gang, directly let Xuanyuan Po and Han Tianxiao go to see Elder Suzaku in person, and let them give an explanation, tell Elder Suzaku that no one in the capital can cause a riot, and if the beggars can't handle it well, they can only be dealt with by my Shenhou Mansion." ”

Qu Xiaocang said respectfully: "The disciple obeys!" He bowed and retreated.

Qi Ning knew that the so-called Big Dipper Seven Stars were the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, Greedy Wolf, Wenqu, Lu Cun, Lian Zhen, Wuqu, and Broken Army, and that Han Tianxiao should be the captain of Wenqu in the Big Dipper.

After Qu Xiaocang retreated, Shenhou turned around and smiled: "Little Hou, let's go to the studio." ”

The studio is the room on the side, enter the studio, the style changes, Qi Ning saw that there is no table and a chair in the room, but a square wooden board is laid on the ground, the surrounding walls are antique, the big wooden board is placed on the side of the four treasures of the study, and there are many painting papers, the whole studio looks simple but free and easy.

Leaning against the left wall, a wire was pulled, and a clip was hung, and several paintings were sandwiched between the clips, suspended under the wire.

"These are a few clumsy works that the old man is more satisfied with." Shenhou put his hands behind his back, walked to the row of paintings, and said with a smile: "Little Hou Ye see which one you like, you can choose at will." ”

Although Qi Ning also has a little knowledge of painting, he really doesn't know much, and he can't tell whether this kind of high-level painting is good or bad.

There are four paintings hanging, the first two are landscape paintings, and the back two, one is a galloping horse, and the other is an eagle spreading its wings above the sky.

He knows that the clever paintings, the emphasis on the meaning but not the form, the style of these paintings is smooth and free, not to mention the brushwork of his paintings, the main thing is that the majestic artistic conception can be fully displayed, only by virtue of this, these four paintings are absolutely first-class masterpieces.

With all four masterpieces in front of you, it's hard to choose.

Qi Ning lowered his head, and was about to think about which pair to choose, when he suddenly found that there were a few pieces of painting paper placed in a messy place not far under his feet, one of the paintings seemed to be unformed, with a few brushstrokes, and it seemed to be a few floating clouds, but he couldn't be sure, and when he picked it up and opened it to look at it, he asked, "Shenhou, why doesn't this painting hang up?" ”

"Oh?" Shenhou walked over, glanced at it, and said, "This is done at will, graffiti, the little marquis should not look down on it." ”

"No, no, no." Qi Ning stared at the painting and said, "Shenhou, how can I look at this painting is a bit abstract. ”

Shenhou was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Abstract? Little Hou Ye, what does that mean? ”
