Chapter 156: Portrait

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and on this day, Fan Guiying sent someone to inform Shen Tong that she would return to Yulin in two days.

Not only that, but he also hired a poor scholar from the street who sold paintings for a living and painted a portrait based on his description.

The scholar had never seen the person in the painting, he painted seven or eight paintings before and after, Azhi bought them all, and when he returned to Shuyuan Street, Azhi picked out the one that most closely painted, threw the others into the brazier and burned them, and he came to Shen Tong with the paintings.

"Like, very like!" Shen Tong praised.

The person in the portrait is Mr. Lan, the person who was picked up by the former shopkeeper in Yulin more than ten years ago.

Azhi finished the picture scroll and said to Shen Tong: "Is there anything else you want to advise?" ”

Shen Tong said: "You are an expert in this regard, and my advice to you is just to add to the snake." ”

Aji laughed, eager to get excited.

When he first arrived in Xi'an, he thought that he would be willing to be a small boss, and while the heart of a big boss, he happily counted the silver.

But when Shen Tong found him and asked him if he wanted to go to Yulin, he agreed without hesitation.

He counted the days day by day, and he couldn't wait to leave immediately, that was his old job, the past days, there were honors and disgraces, and he didn't forget those days when he licked blood from the knife.

There are some things and experiences that I don't usually miss, but once I think about them, I can't help but feel excited.

Two days later, Fan Guiying left Xi'an, and among her entourage, there was one more person, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy with a good smile.

Azhi left, Xu An and Lu You went to the shop to help Wang Shuangxi.

It's a pity that these two have no talent in business, and not only that, but Lu You's violent temper also angered a few customers.

Wang Shuangxi has never missed Azhi so much as he does now, when Azhi was there before, he only had to take care of the big things, and Azhi handled those trivial matters very well, not only the guests liked Azhi, but even the other merchants on this street were full of praise for Azhi.

The young man who laughed before he spoke, this is what everyone calls Aji.

Now, the pleasing young man is far away, and even the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law in the rouge shop are less than before.

In the end, Shen Tong took Fang Fei to the shop.

Wang Shuangxi breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect Shen Tong to help, but with Shen Tong here, Lu You had to hold his temper too!

As Wang Shuangxi thought, Shen Tong didn't do anything when he got to the shop, he didn't help the oil bottle, and he just read the "Spring and Autumn" that he couldn't understand every day, but Lu You was really honest, he no longer lost his temper, and even when he spoke, he had to lower his voice, and he could no longer hear him shouting in a rough voice.

Wang Shuangxi couldn't laugh in private, Xu An is also Wan'er, he and Lu You are often together, Lu You is a straight man who stabs to the end, most of these people admit death, and they will not change if they recognize one thing, therefore, Lu You is still the same, thinking that Shen Tong is a monster.

He won't fight with the monsters, and he can't fight either, so when the monsters come, he can only hold back.

In a blink of an eye, the first month came out, and one day, a handsome young man came to the shop, and he came to find Shen Tong.

Shen Tong knew him, this was the little chestnut beside Xiao Ren.

"Miss Shen, Qi Shao is waiting for you in the teahouse at the end of the street."

Shen Tong counted the days and knew that Xiao Ren should come to her, so she didn't ask again, and followed Xiao Lizi out of the shop.

Fang Fei was talking to an aunt, and when she saw her, she went with her.

Entering the teahouse, Xiao Lizi stayed outside a private room, and Fang Fei saw it and stayed outside.

She quietly asked Little Chestnut: "Miss calls you Little Chestnut, do you love chestnuts?" ”

Little Chestnut shook his head helplessly.

Fang Fei asked again: "Is that your father likes to eat chestnuts?" ”

Little Chestnut shook his head again.

"Your mother likes to eat?"

The little chestnut is about to cry, must it be that he loves chestnuts to call it this name?

"My name was taken by Qishao, and Qishao doesn't like to eat chestnuts." Little Chestnut said.

"Then why do you call you Little Chestnut?" Fang Fei was puzzled.

Little Chestnut shook his head: "Seven young people let me call Little Chestnut, then I am Little Chestnut, no why?" ”

Does the name have to be a reason? He's been calling Little Chestnut for years, and he hasn't thought about why.

In the private room, Shen Tong was also asking Xiao Ren: "How did you find out about the dead man?" ”

Xiao Ren frowned: "We are cooperating, why do you only ask me?" ”

Shen Tong said: "You have to check it first, and when you can't find it, I'll tell you, otherwise you won't believe what I said, and you will continue to check, I do this so that you don't waste time." ”

Xiao Ren was speechless.

Shen Tong said again: "You came to me, that is, nothing was found out?" ”

Xiao Ren was not angry: "Of course not, I'm here to tell you that the matter of the assassination that day has been reported back to the capital, and I'm afraid most of the Great Qi already knows." ”

Shen Tong understood, of course, King Qin wished that everyone in the world would know that he had been attacked, and the person who assassinated him was sent by the Empress Dowager.

Xiao Ren said: "Feiyuwei found the body of the county lord of Zhongling, along with her corpse, along with her six entourages. The eunuch who accompanied the county lord of Zhongling to Xi'an committed suicide in the palace, and Feiyuwei found out that his nephew owed a gambling debt, and was originally chased and hidden, but he suddenly paid off all the debts a while ago, thinking that the eunuch and the thief should cooperate with each other, killing the county lord of Zhongling and her entourage, and letting the assassin and her people steal the beams and change the pillars. ”

"The county lord of Zhongling is dead, and the eunuch is also dead, who else is dead?" Shen Tong asked curiously.

Xiao Ren said: "The Empress Dowager blames herself very much for this, and the emperor also blames herself, and she has rewarded the Qin Wangfu with a lot of things, and it will be sent to the capital in the near future." ”

Shen Tong was a little disappointed, but was it just that the county lord of Zhongling and the eunuch who passed the decree died?

The Empress Dowager was also too picky, and only two people died.

Seeing her disappointed look, Xiao Ren was a little helpless, he said: "Although the Su family and the county lord of Baoyuan are also bitter lords in this matter, the empress dowager is still angry with them, Su Lin was fined for one year, and the lord of Baoyuan County was punished to go to the Temple of Mercy and Grace for three months to pray for the king of Qin." ”

Ci'en Temple is a royal temple of the previous dynasty, which was built by Emperor Taizong of the previous dynasty for his mother, and there are only female nuns in the temple. In the Great Qi Dynasty, although the Temple of Mercy and Grace is no longer a royal temple, but the incense is more prosperous than before, compared to the Great Xiangguo Temple, the female relatives in Beijing prefer to go to the Temple of Mercy and Grace.

Shen Tong said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager is really good to Prince Qin, and her mother is kind, so does King Qin also have to fulfill his filial piety?" ”

Xiao Ren said: "Of course, the prince was very sad when he heard about it, and in order to express his hatred for the assassins, the prince sent six of the seven assassins to the capital. ”
