Chapter 187: Set of Trials
"It's a coincidence that you came, if it's such a precious thing, we really don't dare to accept it casually. It just so happens that my young boss is here, he will definitely accept it, you wait. ”
Jumbo Zhai is the largest antique shop in Jiuyang City, and there are a lot of valuable items in it, but there is no one that can sell for thousands of taels of silver.
Shen Zhi was holding the painting, and when he was excited, he saw a son walking in from the back hall, this person was dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, wearing a purple and gold crown, his face was like Fu powder, his lips were red, and he was shaking a fan in his hand.
It's just that this person knew at first sight that it was not a good match, and a yin and evil aura was born from his eyebrows. Although the people looked at the people with a three-point smile on their faces, their eyes were full of coldness. Behind him were two retinues with a single look at each other, and even the entourage was well-dressed, and they were all high-class people in the crowd.
When Shen Zhi saw someone coming, he was a little worried in his heart, and he really wanted to turn around and leave, but when he thought of the silver, he still held on.
"Are you going to sell Xun Nanzi's paintings?"
Shen Zhi carefully opened the rolled painting again, and the noble son stepped forward to take a look, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and then looked Shen Zhi up and down, shaking his fan and laughing.
The laughter is very exaggerated, obviously it is a laugh but it gives people a sense of coldness, and Shen Zhi, who is laughing, straightens his hair.
"I bought this painting, how about 10,000 taels of silver?"
"One...... Ten thousand taels? ”
"You don't sell?"
"Sell!"
When Shen Zhi went out with 10,000 taels of silver in his arms, he was still in the clouds! It's pie in the sky!
As soon as Shen Zhi left, the face of the noble son in the treasure house was suddenly clouded.
"Go, find out his background."
"Yes." An entourage behind the noble prince disappeared in a flash.
In the Fengyun Hotel in Jiuyang City, there is a singing and dancing performance on the first floor, full of friends, and business is very prosperous. In a VIP room on the second floor, two people sat facing each other.
"Mr. Xiao is really idle, the batch of tributes lost by our Tang family was lost in the territory under your jurisdiction, and it has been more than a year! When will you give the tribute to the Tang family and chase it back? Beware that I accuse you of a dereliction of duty! ”
"Tang Zhi, when did your Tang family's personal belongings become tribute, why don't I know?"
"That's to be dedicated to the emperor, and it's naturally a tribute."
"Humph! That's a nice thing to say. Xiao Qirui smiled disdainfully, although Tang Zhi was Tang Guifei's own nephew, but he didn't take it seriously, he was just a despicable villain with his back to the mountain!
"The surname is Xiao, what are you proud of? Hum! You've been checking for more than a year and there's no progress. As soon as I came, I found a clue, can it prove your incompetence? Tang Zhi smiled proudly, there are many sons in the imperial circle in Beijing, and there are always a few who are outstanding, so they will naturally have the heart of comparison.
Tang Zhi waved his hand, and the entourage behind him took out the landscape painting of Xun Nanzi.
"This painting is the tribute ......"
"It's your Tang family's personal belongings." Xiao Qirui interrupted Tang Zhi's words mercilessly, and once again emphasized that it was not a tribute, if the royal tribute was lost on his territory, his head would not be wanted.
Tang Zhi was interrupted, his heart was angry, his face changed at that time, and he didn't know what he thought of and turned around, and he laughed.
"In short, this painting is exactly the ...... One of those goods was to be presented to the emperor. You also know that the emperor loves landscape painting the most, and now that I have the whereabouts of this painting, I will definitely find those bandits who dare to rob our Tang family. When the time comes, they will be skinned and torn apart. ”
Xiao Qirui took a sip of tea, calmly put down the teacup, and got up.
"I wish you success."
After speaking, he turned around and left, making Tang Zhi feel like he had punched the cotton.
"Xiao Qirui, you don't have anything to say?"
Xiao Qirui didn't look back, flashed out of the private room, and left.
Tang Zhi clenched his fists and punched the table, shaking the tea set on the table, rolling to the ground and shattering.
"How's the painting seller doing?"
"Childe, that person's name is Shen Zhi, he is a small master of Jiuyang City, the painting should not be his own, where did it come from still needs to be investigated."
"Check quickly, at all costs, I want to know as quickly as possible who had the courage to rob our Tang family."
"Yes!"
…………
Shen Xiaoxia knew that after Shen Zhi took the painting, he also knew that it was impossible for him to spit out something that had entered the tiger's mouth. Shen Zhi must have known the value of that painting, otherwise it would be impossible to leave.
Xiao Xia thought about it a lot, but she just didn't expect that the painting could reach the original owner. As for Shen Zhi's human life, she was very curious and decided to check it out. And to investigate this matter, you can only start with Shen Cai.
Shen Cai's father and son have suffered a lot of sins in the past few months in prison, and they are all thin and almost out of shape. Waiting for Shen Zhi to rescue them out, it was waiting to scratch their hearts, but there was no news at all.
Just when Shen Cai was thinking about how to drag people again and go to Shen Zhi. When the prison servant came, he directly put the torture instrument on Shen Cai, and put a splint on Shen Cai's ten fingers.
"Tell me honestly, did you kill someone twelve years ago? If you admit it, you will be spared torture and less guilty. ”
Shen Cai looked at the splint on his finger and was blinded, and when he was asked, he was even more blind, he had never killed anyone!
"My lord, I am wronged! I've never killed anyone! ”
Shen Cai cried with a handful of snot and tears, shouting that he was wronged.
"Execution!"
Ten fingers connected to his heart, Shen Cai couldn't shout out for injustice, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled to the ground one by one.
"If you still don't confess, it's your own brother who denounced you, saying that you killed someone twelve years ago, and you still don't admit it?"
Shen Cai's ten fingers hurt, and he also felt pain all over his body, and his heart hurt even more. He understood, this was his third brother Shen Zhi who wanted to harm him! This is a false accusation.
"People are not killed by me, they are killed by Shen Zhi, they are killed by Shen Zhi, not by me."
Shen Cai shouted desperately, he was wronged, he didn't want to mention others to take the blame.
The three interrogated prisoners looked at each other and smiled, things are going well!
After that, Shen Cai confessed everything he knew about 1510.
"It was about twelve years ago, not thirteen years ago in the spring, I remember when the ice on the Yudai River just melted. One day, Shen Zhi and his classmate He Jiaming got into an argument by the river, pushed him into the river, and drowned. ”
"How do you know?"
"At that time, I was looking for Shen Zhi to go home for dinner, and I happened to see it. He Jiaming can't swim, but Shen Zhihui, the baby who grew up next to the Yudai River will. Shen Zhi pushed He Jiaming into the river and watched him drown. Shen Cai shivered while recalling, first, it hurts, and secondly, he is still a little afraid when he thinks back then. He was eighteen years old, had just started a family, and had given birth to a son, but he was still terrified. But Shen Zhi, who was only eight years old, was unusually calm.
Shen Cai thought about it like this and felt that he had the truth. It is not surprising that he threatens Shen Zhi by himself, and Shen Zhi wants his own life! Shen Cai was trembling again, he was scared in his heart, he thought he was Shen Zhi's own brother, but he didn't expect Shen Zhi to even dare to ask for his brother's life.
