Chapter XXXV
What broke the harmony of the courtyard was the sound of hasty footsteps, he had just returned from the palace, it was autumn, and he was sweating profusely.
When he saw Shen Lingjun, he hugged his fists and said busily: "My lord, Gonggong Liu, the head of the palace treasury, said that the picture scroll is gone!" ”
Zhao Qi touched his chin and said with a smile: "This is a little interesting." ”
Ye Qingzhi was puzzled: "Could it be that the problem is really in this painting?" ”
"Not necessarily, maybe someone pretended to be a ghost and did it deliberately." Su Mu said lightly.
Shen Lingjun frowned: "But who can take things from the palace without knowing it?" ”
A few people tacitly understood that something must be wrong in the palace.
Zhao Qi snapped his fingers in the air: "Kagura, send someone to investigate." ”
"Yes." A black shadow swept up and flew out from the roof of Dali Temple.
Over there, Shen He also came back, saying that those candidates said that they did not have the habit of carrying the scroll with them, and they did not know what the scroll was used for.
Feng Zheng listened to it for a long time, and asked curiously, "What picture scroll?" ”
Tang Tang sat on a laurel tree, ate the peach pit in his mouth and threw it on Feng Zheng's head, and said with a smile: "Adults are investigating the case, what is the little kid talking about." ”
Shen Lingjun saw Feng Zheng, his eyes rolled, and he looked at him with a smile and beckoned.
Feng Zheng immediately hurried over like a puppy: "Lord Shen? ”
"You seem to be a candidate for this year's exam?" Shen Lingjun asked him.
Feng Zheng nodded, he didn't want to take the test, but his father forced him.
Shen Lingjun asked people to take the picture scroll over: "Have you seen it?" ”
Feng Zheng was startled at first, and then took the portrait and came to his eyes to study it carefully.
Shen Lingjun and Su Musha glanced at each other, there was a play.
"Wonderful, wonderful, it's just a wonderful brushstroke, and this woman's demeanor is so vividly painted." Feng Zheng shook his head and praised: "I'm afraid that Gu Kaizhi will be reborn, and he may not be able to make this painting." ”
After finishing speaking, he began to sigh again: "It's a pity, it's a pity, this painting is a fake!" ”
Shen Lingjun initially thought that Feng Zheng had some clues, but when he heard this, his face was suddenly full of black lines: "Have you seen it?" ”
Feng Zheng replied very briskly this time, just two words: "No." ”
"Hahaha~" Tang Tang laughed and said, "Nerd." ”
Ye Qingzhi asked, "Have you heard that the custom of worshipping this portrait has become popular among candidates recently?" ”
"It can't be." Feng Zheng blinked his eyes: "If you want to worship, you will also worship Confucius!" ”
Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows at Ye Qingzhi, which means, look.
Shen Lingjun hugged his arm with his left hand, raised a finger with his right hand and tapped his lower lip, staring at Feng Zheng for a long time.
Feng Zheng made Shen Lingjun look furious, and said tremblingly: "Lord Shen, why are you looking at me like this." ”
Shen Lingjun curled the corners of his mouth, his dark eyes were shining, and he said with a smile: "You eat and drink for nothing in Dali Temple, should you do something?" ”
Feng Zheng's deer-like pure black eyes blinked, and he felt that what Shen Lingjun said made a lot of sense, and he still wanted to ask someone to investigate the case, so he said very simply: "What to do?" ”
"You go to stay at the Dragon Gate Inn these days, it's best to get acquainted with that group of scholars, and find out if any of them know about this portrait." Shen Lingjun said with a smile: "Remember, you have to investigate secretly in private, and you can't let them find out." ”
Feng Zheng scratched his head, feeling that this errand was a bit heavy, and he didn't know if he was up to it, he hadn't investigated the case yet? But I think it's quite fresh, but the Dragon Gate Inn, why is it a little familiar......
Li Mengbai said: "Isn't the Longmen Inn the one that just had a life case?" ”
"What, homicide?!" Feng Zheng jumped up: "I'm not going!" ”
Shen Lingjun squinted: "If you don't go, you have to go!" ”
"I'm afraid of ghost ......" Feng Zheng hugged a pillar and didn't let go, that means, I won't leave!
At this time, Cicada Feather walked in and said, "Miss, some people say that they are looking for Miss Ye." ”
"What about people?"
Cicada Feather said: "The person is gone, but she left a letter." ”
Cicada Feather walked over and handed the letter to Ye Qingzhi, there were only a few words on it, and Ye Qingzhi swept it at a glance.
Shen Lingjun was curious: "What person?" ”
Ye Qingzhi showed her the letter, which turned out to be the handwriting of Li Hongying, the princess of Changning, and asked Ye Qingzhi to go to the Zhenguo Mansion again the next day.
"The princess's heart disease hasn't been cured yet?" Shen Lingjun folded the letter: "Why do you want to go." ”
Ye Qingzhi shook her head, she didn't know.
Su Musha said: "That princess of Changning? ”
Shen Lingjun nodded, and just about to answer, Feng Zheng jumped up: "What's wrong with Hongying, isn't her illness cured?" ”
Shen Lingjun remembered that Feng Zheng came to Dali Temple to talk to Princess Li Hongying of Changning: "Who knows, maybe I'll be sick again." ”
"What then?" Feng Zheng let go of the pillar and said eagerly: "No, I'm going to see her!" ”
Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows: "Zhenguo Mansion is something you can go to if you want to?" ”
Shen Lingjun also said: "You are not afraid that Old Madam Su will drive you out." ”
"You help me get in, and I'll stay at the Longmen Inn to help you investigate the case." Feng Zheng straightened his chest and looked open.
Shen Lingjun thought about it in his heart, and felt that this account could be done: "Are you sure?" ”
Li Mengbai persuaded Feng Zheng: "Brother Feng, impulsiveness is the devil." ”
Su Musha said: "Actually, it may not be impossible. ”
Feng Zheng hurriedly grabbed him: "I knew that Su Gongzi still understood righteousness!" ”
Li Mengbai asked: "Little Uncle Ancestor, how can it be worked?" ”
Ye Qingzhi groaned: "You can go in with me, but the people from the Zhenguo Mansion may recognize it, and it will be troublesome at that time." ”
At this time, Tang Tang jumped down from the tree, raised his hand and said, "I have a way!" ”
On the day of the meeting, Ye Qingzhi came out of the room with a medicine box, looked left and right, everyone was there, but she didn't see Feng Zheng, and wondered: "What about people?" ”
Shen Lingjun poked in the direction of the room: "It's inside." ”
As he spoke, he heard Feng Zheng's squirming voice from the room: "Don't do it, I don't think this is okay." ”
"Haha, it's good, trust my craft, I'm going out soon." There is also Tang Tang's laughing voice.
"Don't!"
"Let's go."
"I don't want it!"
"If you don't leave, I'll kick you out."
"I don't ...... Ah......h
Everyone saw that the door was kicked open, and a figure flew out and smashed at Li Mengbai.
It was also Li Mengbai who reacted relatively quickly, stretched out his hands and restrained the other party, so that no one could fall out.
But...... Li Mengbai blinked, and then blinked: "Who is this girl?" ”
"Hahaha~" Tang Tang smiled and hugged his stomach and squatted down, almost rolling to the ground.
"This, is it sealed?" Shen Changfeng opened his mouth in disbelief.
Tang Tang finally held back his laughter: "How is it, is it good-looking?" ”
In fact, don't say it, Feng Zheng is not bad at dressing up like this, he is already thin, not tall, and his face is even more delicate.
Tang Tang stood beside Feng Zheng very proudly, grabbed Feng Zheng, and made him turn around in place: "Isn't it a big beauty?" ”
Feng Zheng was dizzy and dizzy, crying with a sad face: "How can I go out like this, woo woo~"
Shen Lingjun looked at it and affirmed, "It's pretty good." ”
Su Musha also said quite seriously: "The makeup is a little thicker." ”
Zhao Qi twitched the corners of his mouth: "Is this a shemale or a demon?" ”
Ye Qingzhi nodded: "That's it, let's go." ”
So, the writhing Feng Zheng was driven out by a group of people, and got into the carriage with Ye Qingzhi to the Zhenguo Mansion.
Originally, Zhao Qi also went with him, but when he went out, he was called back, saying that Mrs. Zhao was his mother, and she was looking for him for something important.
Therefore, Zhao Qi asked Luo Cheng and Xishi to secretly escort Ye Qingzhi and the two of them to the Zhenguo Mansion, and he went back to the General's Mansion.
After Shen Lingjun and Su Musha came out of Dali Temple, they decided to go to Hesheng Restaurant to see how the seriously injured Wusheng was doing. However, before he arrived, some officials hurriedly ran to Dali Temple, saying that the candidate did not survive and died.
Now, there is no need to go to Hesheng Restaurant.
Shen Lingjun thought for a while: "Mu Mu, I always feel that Huang Yu's death is a little strange, according to Li Yi's investigation, Huang Yu's family is good, and he is optimistic on weekdays, and he also likes to make friends, he himself once said that the scientific examination is just to come out to see the world, and it doesn't matter if he can be admitted or not." So after coming to Luoyang, he ate, drank and had fun all day long, and he didn't fancy the imperial examination like others, and it was a bit unreasonable for such a person to suddenly commit suicide. ”
Su Musha also felt the same way: "Moreover, Huang Yu is also an important witness in the bribery case...... In this way, it is indeed somewhat suspicious. ”
Shen Lingjun clasped his arms around his chest, tapped the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow in his arms, and muttered, "I want to go to the Dragon Gate Inn to have another look." ”
"Okay."
So, the two turned a corner and walked towards the Dragon Gate Inn.
After the murder, the business of the Dragon Gate Inn was not as good as before, and many candidates moved out, but there were also those who did not believe in evil or had no money, and still lived. Because since the accident, the shopkeeper of the Dragon Gate Inn only charges half of the room fee of other inns.
Shen Lingjun and Su Musha walked into the lobby of the inn and found that it was a little empty, unlike usual, where many people were always sitting.
I was about to find the shopkeeper and asked Zhang Xuan if they were still in the inn, when a person came in front of him, looking a little familiar, it turned out to be Wen Qihua, who had met before.
Wen Qihua was stunned for a moment when he saw the two of them, and then suddenly understood something, and bowed in a proper manner: "Lord Siqing." ”
Shen Lingjun raised his chin at him and asked, "Are you free?" ”
Although it was a question, Wen Qihua didn't dare to say that he was not available even if he really had something.
So the three of them found a corner in the lobby and sat down, asked the innkeeper to boil a pot of tea, and talked about the tea.
There are no people in the inn, but it is convenient for a few people to talk about things.
Shen Lingjun didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly: "After Huang Yu's accident, you have been living in this inn?" ”
Wen Qihua nodded: "Yes, Lord Siqing." ”
"What about the others?"
"Some have moved away, and some are still there." Wen Qihua's face was complicated, and he said helplessly: "Don't hide it from adults, those who continue to stay and live are nothing more than greedy for the low cost here, and Huang Yu has a good relationship with us on weekdays, so I really can't accept that others are no longer there......"
