While He Huan and Wei were talking, He Bohai and his wife stood in the corner of the living room, muttering for a while. After a while, the servants of the third room entered the house and whispered to He Baihai again.

When He Huan walked into the house, He Baihai was staring blankly at the sky, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking. He Huan stepped forward and saluted, called "Third Uncle", and continued: "Presumably the Third Uncle has confirmed that what I just said is true, right?" ”

"What if you're telling the truth? What do these things have to do with me? The house in Stone Lane was given to me by my aunt, and I asked someone to rent it, what's wrong? As for who the renter is and what he is doing with the house, how do I know about it? Today, we are just here to visit the sick, and you blindly stop us, isn't it a weak heart? ”

"I think, it's the third uncle and the third aunt who should be weak-hearted, right?" He Huan glanced at the two of them, and commanded loudly: "Uncle Zhang, invite Qian Xiucai in!" ”

"What do you mean!" He Baihai's face changed slightly, and when he turned his head, he saw that Qian Xiucai was pushed by Uncle Zhang and stumbled into the house.

Qian Xiucai saw He Bohai, grabbed his sleeve without saying a word, and said in a trembling voice: "Third Master He, I won't earn any money from you......

"What nonsense!" He Bohai pushed Qian Xiucai away, patted his sleeve, and said angrily to He Huan: "Don't think that if you make a poor sour talent, you can frame me ......"

"Third uncle, what did I frame you for?" He Huan chuckled, "Qian Xiucai only said that he didn't earn your money, why did it become me to frame you?" ”

Qian Xiucai didn't know what was going on, but he knew that early this morning, several men rushed into his house and turned over the cabinets. Not to mention the calligraphy and paintings he copied, he took them all. What else to say before leaving. Those are all evidence, waiting for the court, so that he can't eat and walk around. Listening to their tone, it is clear that it is the yamen's fast catch.

Seeing the men leaving, he didn't care about He Baihai's advice, and panicked to ask for help, but he didn't know that He Baihai's porter didn't let him enter the door at all. He returned home dejected, and Uncle Zhang was already waiting for him. Tell him that Tang An is the thief who was deposed ten years ago. Now that the matter has been revealed, he and He Bohai will be punished by the government.

What Uncle Zhang said later, he didn't hear it clearly, he only knew that he still had to participate in the imperial examination, and he must not be punished by the government and lose his fame!

A person who is in a state of panic will only believe what he wants to believe. This is exactly the case with the current Qian Xiu. He dragged He Baihai and said, "Third Master, I will return all the money you gave me, I just ask you not to bother me." He shuddered and took out the silver ticket and stuffed it indiscriminately into He Baihai.

He Bohai pushed him away again. Implicitly shouted, "Even if I pay the money, what if you ask you to draw a portrait for me?" Where will it bother you. ”

"Third master. I know that Tang An is a thief, and the government will come to get people in a while, you can do it, let me go! After that, he actually knelt down in front of He Baihai.

He Baihai was extremely angry, pushed him away fiercely, and said to He Huan: "It's your trick again!" Do you have proof? Can anyone prove that I have Tang An's true works? ”

He Huan looked at him and shook his head slowly, his expression seemed to say: Third uncle, did I say something?

After a short silence, Qian Xiucai came back to his senses and muttered: "Those men in the morning are clearly catching fast ...... They took all the portraits I had painted...... Aren't they catching fast? Then he remembered that they hadn't revealed their identities at all.

He Huan called "Bai Shao", and Bai Shao walked into the house with a large stack of picture scrolls, and all of them fell to the ground at once. As a few scrolls rolled away, the paper was a portrait that He Huan had seen on the wall of He Bohai's study. It's just that although the portrait on the ground is exquisitely painted, it is not as imposing as the real one on the wall, and it is a fake at first glance.

Seeing that the matter was revealed, Zou said urgently: "Once the matter is out of trouble, you can't get rid of it......

"Smack!" He Baihai hated it very much, and the anger in his heart had nowhere to vent, so he slapped Zou in the face with his backhand, "What kind of trouble is not to make trouble, it has nothing to do with it, she instructed others to trespass into Qian Xiucai's house and rob other people's property, and the government should punish her." He stared at He Huan viciously and said, "Qian Xiucai, don't be afraid, if you want to sue her, I will give you the best teacher." ”

"The third uncle really likes to laugh." He Huan lowered his head and asked Qian Xiucai: "If Lord Lu asks you, who made your paintings, how would you answer?" If Master Lu asks you again, why do you have to copy so many paintings, how will you answer? If Master Lu asks you again, someone else robbed your paintings, and you didn't report to the official, but instead found the third uncle, how would you answer? ”

As soon as He Huan's words fell, before everyone could react, they heard Aunt Zhang say outside the door: "Eldest Miss, the eldest uncle in the clan, the second uncle has been invited." ”

"You're going to be entertained first." He Huan replied loudly and looked at He Baihai with a smile.

"What do you want?" He Baihai became more and more worried. He wasn't worried about what Qian Xiucai would say, after all, he didn't know anything. What he was afraid of was He Huan's determination, as if she had already made up her mind.

He Huan did not respond to his words, and instructed Bai Shao to "invite" Qian Xiucai out of the city to drink tea. When only she and He Baihai were left in the house, she shook her head and sighed: "Third uncle, don't you think you are cautious? How could Tang An's true handiwork be hung in the study? ”

"Who said it was the real thing!" He Bohai had already decided that he would not admit that it was genuine even if he died, even if he went to court. He is also a dignified He San Master, without real evidence, just based on He Huan's empty words, he doesn't believe that the government can cure his crimes.

But at this point, he had to look at He Huan differently. Looking at the entire Jizhou City, there may be many people who know about the abolition of the first prince of Ludao, but the capital is thousands of miles away, and for most people, "the first prince" is just a noun. As for Tang An, there were very few people who knew his name, but He Huan recognized at a glance that it was the real handiwork hanging on the wall.

He Huan didn't know what He Baihai thought. She really has no evidence, and she doesn't dare to make a big deal out of it, after all, she is also surnamed He, if she wants to marry into the Shen family, she has to "love" the reputation of the He family, so that she is qualified to marry Shen Jinglun.

At that moment, He Huan glanced out of the window without a trace, and said slowly: "Third uncle." You hurriedly asked Qian Xiucai to copy the portrait. It's really unwise. After those paintings came to the market. Although you can lie that what you are holding in your hand is just one of the fakes, but you saw it just now, Qian Xiu confessed to you, but a few words, this is not in court! ”

"What the hell do you want!" He Bohai's face became more and more ugly. The moment Qian Xiucai appeared, he regretted it. But it's come to this, what's the use of regretting!

He Huan glanced out the door again. She had already instructed Uncle Zhang to take Aunt Cao to find Shui Ting and trick Shui Ting into coming. If she doesn't want to. Even if it's tied up, you have to tie her up. She vaguely felt that Shui Ting was not an ordinary person.

Zou stood aside with his face covered. Noticing He Huan's movements, she reminded He Baihai: "Master, she is delaying time." ”

"I'm not stalling, I'm just waiting for Miss Shuiting." He Huan said while observing Zou's expression, only to see that there was no jealousy and anger on her face, and it was not the attitude of the main room towards the outer room at all. She was more and more sure of her guess.

As soon as He Baihai heard He Huan's words, he immediately exploded. said angrily: "What are you looking for her for?" I don't have time to listen to your nonsense, even if it goes to court. I was also the first few words, I just asked the broker Feng to sublet the house, and I didn't know anything else. As he spoke, he pulled his leg and wanted to go out.

He Huan stepped forward in a few steps and blocked the door at once.

He Baihai raised his hand, seeing that a slap was about to fall on He Huan's face, He Huan kicked his calf bone and pushed hard.

He Baihai was caught off guard and fell to the chair on the side. Before he could react, He Huan said word by word: "You can beat your woman and your daughter, but don't want to touch a single hair of my hair!" ”

"You can't do it, you dare to commit a crime, disobey your elders!" He Baihai's eyes showed a fierce light, and when he saw it, he was about to step forward and slap He Huan.

He Huanqiang calmed down, took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve, threw them on He Baihai's face, and said loudly: "Look at what this is!" I invited the eldest uncle and the second uncle, just to let them call the shots and expel you from the He clan! ”

"You!" He Baihai was so angry that his face turned blue. There is only a bunch of poor ghosts left in the He family, and now, he He Baihai is also the only one in the clan. He didn't expect to get any substantial benefits from the He family, but he must not be expelled from the family. It's not about profit, it's about reputation, and only the children of the clan who make a big mistake will be expelled from the family, and they can't be buried in the family's graveyard when they die.

Zou also knew the seriousness of the matter, and raised his voice and said: "You are just a junior, do you think what you say is what it is?" Those old men, how can they listen to your ......"

"Shut up!" He Baihai scolded. Although the people in the clan are jealous of his family's wealth and wealth, they have long looked at him unpleasantly, but he has money and connections, and it is not so easy to expel him from the family, even if He Huan grabs Qian Xiucai's handle, it is useless, but his daughter's marriage is still being discussed, and the Lingcheng Lu family is not an ordinary family, so it can't have a little accident at this time.

He Bohai forgot about the pain in his calf and stared at He Huan, as if he wanted to see her through. In a blink of an eye, he thought again that she had just said that she had sent someone to find Shui Ting. He was in a hurry, tore the knotted book in his hand to shreds, threw it at He Huan, gritted his teeth and said, "Tell you, even if you find Shui Ting, it's useless, it's normal for men to have three wives and four concubines......"

"Third uncle, why do you think that Miss Shuiting, who is like a flower and a jade, is willing to follow you without a name or a point? Do you think you look better than Pan An? ”

As soon as He Huan's words fell, he heard Cao's shouting in the courtyard: "Miss! He Huan opened the door, only to see Cao running to her panting, and said hurriedly: "The Shuiting girl you said is gone, I have searched for the front and back rooms, and there is no one at all!" ”

"How is that possible!" He Baihai pushed He Huan away and asked Cao in a loud voice: "She never goes out, how can she not be there!" ”

Cao didn't pay attention to him, but just said to He Huan: "Miss, the side door you said is hidden, and no one is guarding it." Look at the situation in the house, someone has cleaned up and taken away valuable things. ”

"Impossible!" He Bohai and his wife spoke in unison.

He Huan lowered her head and groaned, and in a moment of thought, she looked stunned and asked eagerly: "Whose idea was it that you went to find Qian Xiucai to copy Tang An's portrait?" She has always felt that He Bohai's move is really unwise, and it is not a decision made by a person who has been rolling in the mall for many years.

When He Baihai heard her words, although he didn't answer, his face changed suddenly.

He Huan asked: "Did Shui Ting let you do this?" Seeing that He Baihai still didn't answer, she asked again: "Why do you want to listen to her?" ”

It was only at this moment that He Baihai said with difficulty: "She said that her name is Tang Shuiting and she is Tang An's daughter." (To be continued......)
