Chapter 97: Destruction

Hearing He Baihai's words, He Huan smiled angrily, raised his head and asked, "Third uncle, how old are you, do you believe what people say?" "Shui Ting is close to the age of Huaxin, and Tang An doesn't have such a big daughter at all. This matter was inadvertently mentioned by Lin Xiyan after hearing Shen Jinglun, and she couldn't say it to He Baihai.

He Baihai saw that her words were sarcastic, and replied with a calm face: "I naturally don't know what others say, I will believe anything, she is Tang An's daughter, and she is not my outer room at all." She just survived in secret, hoping that one day she would be able to go to the Japanese country and start her life again, without having to live a life of hiding. I'm just doing good deeds, and I pity her. ”

Although He Huan felt that Shui Ting was not He Baihai's outer room, she had seen Shui Ting, and I was afraid that if she could persuade He Baihai to find Qian Xiucai, she must have blown the pillow wind. What purpose does she have?

He Huan lowered his head and groaned, his face suddenly changed slightly, and he asked urgently: "Third uncle, in fact, you also think that it is inappropriate to go to Qian Xiucai to forge Tang An's paintings, right?" ”

The more He Baihai thought about it, the more he felt that Shui Ting would not say goodbye, and he asked He Huan: "This is another trick you played, isn't it?" ”

Cao Shi sneered: "Hey, third master, originally we planned to bring her, so that the third wife can also meet her, and everyone will make it clear......"

Without waiting for Cao Shi to finish speaking, He Baihai turned around and walked out. He Huan didn't care about anything else, grabbed him, and said hurriedly: "Where did you put Tang An's true handiwork?" ”

He Baihai shook off He Huan's hand and shouted, "What do you have to do with it, aren't you going to expel me from the He clan?" ”

He Huan said loudly: "After Feng Jiyang's death, He Daxu and others were exterminated, what is missing now?" Missing the mastermind behind the scenes! Her voice drowned out He Bohai's scolding. Seeing that He Bohai still didn't believe her. She added: "The so-called going abroad three years ago. Feng Jiyang cheated a total of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. But after his death, the government did not find a penny in his house! Now, with just a small piece of evidence, Lu County Ling has solved a big case and made a great contribution, and the third uncle's hard-earned family business has become the proceeds of fraud! ”

He Bohai will be skeptical. Shui Ting swore to keep the festival for her deceased husband, but he couldn't control it after drinking. Strengthened her and almost caused her to commit suicide. After the incident, she not only didn't blame him, but also helped her hide from Zou and others, and also helped him a lot in business. Over the years, although they occasionally couldn't help themselves, she blamed herself every time, feeling sorry for her deceased husband and father. She often said that as long as there was a boat to go to the Wa Kingdom. They don't have to get along day and night, and make mistakes again and again. He has repeatedly stated. He could take her as a concubine, and she said with tears in her eyes, why didn't she let her meet him before they got married......

Seeing He Baihai shaking his head, He Huan's question blurted out: "Third uncle, is the life of your whole family important, or is a few paintings important?" She was about to go crazy, took a few deep breaths to calm down her emotions, and then ordered Bai Shao: "Go and burn all the paintings in the house, don't keep any of them." Aunt Cao, you go and ask Qian Xiucai if there is any omission in the family, let Uncle Zhang go back with him, and burn them all down. Also, teach him how to answer if someone from the yamen asks. ”

Seeing that He Huan's anxiety didn't look like pretending, Zou stepped forward and pulled He Baihai's sleeve, and said softly: "Master, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens." ”

He Huan hurriedly echoed the Zou family and said to He Bohai: "Third uncle, you believe me, but I will lose a few paintings. You should know very well that Tang An's paintings will not see the light of day, let alone sell. If you don't believe me, if anything happens, what you lose is the family business you have worked hard to earn all your life. Can you afford to gamble? ”

To be honest, He Bohai didn't believe He Huan's words, but he couldn't afford to gamble. No matter how much he pities Shui Ting, he has children and daughters, and he can't afford the word "just in case".

He Huan saw that He Baihai's expression was loose, and urged him to hurry up and ride home, first destroy all the things related to Tang An or Shui Ting, and he pulled Zou into the carriage of the third room.

Although Zou didn't like He Huan, he was helpless at this time, so he could only sit in a carriage with her, and silently listened to her constantly urging the coachman to speed up along the way.

When the carriage arrived at He Baihai's house, he was already in the study, holding a pair of horses in a daze, and reluctantly threw them into the brazier. He doesn't know calligraphy and painting, but he and Shui Ting are connected because of this painting. She said that this painting was her father's most proud work, worth 10,000 taels, but it will never see the light of day.

When He Baihai was sentimental, He Huan snatched the scroll and looked at it carefully. She ignored He Bohai's clamour, walked to the window with the scroll, and looked at it in the sun. She remembered that Shen Jinglun said that Tang An's later works had a small flaw in the seal. In addition, Shen Jinglun told her about the changes in Tang An's painting style, although she is not an expert, but the painting style in front of her is very mature, and it cannot be his early work.

"This one is a fake." He Huan was categorical.

"She gave it to me with her own hands! She said, when she goes to the Wa Kingdom, leave me a memory. ”

"Sir, what do you mean by that!" Zou sensed something was wrong.

He Huan threw the scroll in his hand into the brazier and said hurriedly: "Third aunt, Shui Ting is not Tang An's daughter at all, she has been hiding by the side of the third uncle for many years, just for today's ......"

"Don't talk about it here." He Bohai threw all the scrolls into the brazier, "I listen to you, but I just ask for peace of mind." Even if you've heard of Tang An, can you recognize his calligraphy and paintings? Do you know how much you do! ”

He Huan didn't argue with him, but said hurriedly: "Yes, I don't know anything." Think about it, what else is there, such as jade jewelry or something. ”

He Baihai shook his head. Keep your eyes fixed on the raging flames. He pitied Shui Ting, and he also liked her gentleness and loveliness, and she was full of talent. For the sake of this family, he could only burn what Shui Ting gave him, but he didn't believe what He Huan said. Maybe Shui Ting just went out to buy something.

He Huan also looked at the fiery red flames that kept jumping upward. The painting that had just been burned could almost be fake, and she burned it, because she was afraid that the mediocre Lu Xianling insisted that it was genuine. At this time, she couldn't be sure if it was this fake that hung on the wall of the study a few days ago, but looking at He Baihai's appearance, he was very sure that Shui Ting gave him the real thing, and Shen Jinglun said that people who really love painting are never willing to destroy Tang An's authentic handwritings, and he believes that Tang An's authentic works must be carefully kept somewhere by someone with a heart......

The more He Huan thought about it, the more confused he became, and he raised his head and said to He Bohai: "Third uncle, if you think about it carefully, is there really nothing else?" Seeing him shake his head, she said again: "Now go to the small courtyard where Shui Ting lived, and destroy all the things she left behind." ”

He Baihai didn't want to pay attention to He Huan's fingers, but Zou already understood. Previously, she listened to He Bohai's rhetoric, and acquiesced to the existence of Shui Ting, which was simply to put a mouse in the rice tank. She couldn't be more than in favor of destroying everything in Shui Ting.

The three of them hurried to the small courtyard where Shui Ting lived, and the carriage had just reached the mouth of the alley, when they saw a team of catchers running towards them from far and near. He Huan's heart sank heavily, and he suppressed his voice and said, "Third uncle, third aunt, do you believe me now?" ”

Zou's face was as white as paper in an instant, and he clenched his fist and slapped He Bohai's shoulder, crying and saying, "What kind of woman did you provoke back, is this to kill our mother?" ”

He Baihai pushed her away and forced He Huan to look at him: "You are acting again...... You can't know Tang An......"

"Third uncle, what do you want to ask, wait until everyone is out of danger." He Huan grabbed Zou, saw her crying, and shouted: "If you want to save your children, quickly destroy all the things left by Shui Ting, and you can't keep half of them." I will hold off the catcher, and whoever I see in the future will say ......" She explained to them in a suppressed voice, and then let them get out of the car first, while she sat in the car and told the driver to slow down.

After a while, when the officials approached, He Huan saw the leader from the gap in the curtain of the car, and couldn't help frowning. The surname of the person who came, known as Xiao Zhutou, is not a person with any ability, and he is the most happy. Shen Jinglun once vaguely said that fortunately, Lin Zhutou has a deep foundation in the county government, and Xiao Zhutou has no real skills, so he has no future, otherwise it is the people of Jizhou who will suffer.

Xiao Zhutou is on fire at the moment. There was such a big murder in Jizhou City, and it was a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but Lin Zhutou covered the sky with one hand and did not let him participate in it. He must be trying to take credit!

He had already beckoned his subordinates, preparing to rob a murder case in his hands no matter what, and to solve the case before Lin caught the head. He was about to set off, but suddenly received a tip-off that the mastermind behind Feng Jiyang was He Baihai, and He Baihai and the fugitive Tang An were friends and intended to rebel.

As soon as he heard this tip, he was excited, and hurriedly reported the order of Lu County, asking for an order to arrest the thief. Anyway, if the news is true, this is a great credit, maybe he can go to the capital to receive the reward. Even if the news is fake, He Bohai is a big fat sheep, and he has to drink a few sips of his blood to moisten his throat.

Seeing a carriage dangling in front of him, blocking his way, he shouted: "What person, get out of the way, block the case, be careful that Lao Tzu puts you in prison!" ”

When He Huan heard the sound, she deliberately ordered the coachman to put the car across the alley to block the passage, she immediately opened the curtain of the car, looked back, and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, hurriedly walked to Xiao Zhutou, saluted respectfully, and said happily: "Xiao Zhutou, you came really ...... timely."

"Do you recognize me?" Xiao Zhutou had seen He Huan in the yamen, but they had never met each other, so they deliberately pretended not to know her.

He Huan said with a smile: "Xiao Zhutou is fair, his reputation is far and wide, the people of Jizhou City, who doesn't know your name." ”

He Huan's sycophant made Xiao Zhutou extremely happy. He raised his chin and said, "Since you know me, order the coachman to pull the carriage away!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." He Huan nodded hurriedly, "The third uncle is waiting for the yamen to help arrest the fugitive slave!" Xiao Zhutou took this case, it's really good! ”

Before her words fell, a few wisps of green smoke rose not far away, and someone could be faintly heard screaming "Walking water". (To be continued......)
