Chapter 24 - The Sin of Desire
After Xu Wei finished all this, he flicked his sleeves and was about to leave, and Lu Yan, who had been sitting next to him watching the play, finally spoke, "This gentleman, please stay!" ”
Xu Wei stopped and looked back, and saw a young man dressed as a scholar take out a very delicate painting from the pile of paintings, hand it to him, and asked, "Sir, do you recognize this painting?" ”
Xu Wei took the painting, looked at it carefully, and said, "I didn't pay attention to it just now, there is a real one!" After reading it, it was natural to return the painting to Lu Yan's hands.
"Since it is true that the painting belongs to the gentleman, then does the gentleman remember when the painting was made, to whom it was given to, or to whom it was sold? Or was it lost somewhere? ”
Xu Wei smiled and said calmly: "Then how do I remember, it's not a proud work, it is estimated that it is the manuscript paper I discarded, who picked it up, I just put it together with so many fake paintings, I didn't recognize that this is really mine, but looking at this painting style, it is probably made by me in the early years!" ”
Lu Yan then asked, "Sir, can you recognize Lord Zuo Xianzuo, the Zhejiang Patrol Inspector Imperial History?" ”
"I've seen it twice, what's wrong?"
Lu Yan had been carefully looking at the expression on Xu Wei's face, they had mixed this Melan picture with these fake paintings, but just now he swept all the paintings on the stall at a glance, and did not linger on this painting at all. At this moment, just taking out this sentence to ask him, he can't see a little panic or other emotions, if this Xu Wei is really innocent, then this person is too deep and terrifying! Lu Yan looked at Xu Wei's eyes and said slowly: "Lord Zuo Xianzuo was killed by gangsters on the way back to his hometown!" ”
Xu Wei looked at Lu Yan, then at Zhu Yixiang, and nodded, "Oh, it turns out that you are from the government?" ”
"This painting was found at the scene of the crime!"
Hearing that his painting was found at the scene of the crime, Xu Wei hurriedly said: "It has nothing to do with me!" Then he turned and wanted to go.
Two plainclothes brocade guards blocked his way, Lu Yan's attitude was quite polite, and said: "After all, human life is greater than the sky, if you have some questions, you want to ask Mr. Xu, why don't we find a quiet place to sit!" ”
Xu Wei saw that there were many of them, and he was very knowledgeable about the current affairs and left with Lu Yan!
Because of Mr. Xu Weixu's performance just now, Lu Yan couldn't catch any clues, so he was polite to him so far, and the place to talk was also in a private room in a nearby restaurant. But if Xu Wei showed a little abnormality just now, then the place where they were talking at this time would be in prison!
Yesterday I ran around for a day, I didn't eat or sleep well, at this time Zhu Yixiang was already hungry, and unceremoniously ordered a few signature dishes in the restaurant, anyway, it was also reimbursed at public expense, so I simply asked for a pot of Shaoxing Huadiao.
The wine and food were all ready, Zhu Yixiang looked at the table full of good wine and food, and then looked at the shadow of the Jinyiwei brothers standing at the door of the room, a little embarrassed, after all, he was not the only one who was hungry, so he asked for four steamed buns to send to them, and then enjoyed the delicious food on the table with peace of mind.
Xu Wei is also both at ease, while eating and complaining that this squirrel fish is not good, this is called the wrong taste of the flower chicken, this flower carving is mixed with water, the chopsticks keep putting vegetables in the mouth, and can't stop him from talking, "This boss is not sincere enough to do business, I can't come here next time, I know there are a few good restaurants, next time I will take you there!" ”
Zhu Yixiang said in his heart: Xu Dacai, how many times do you want to be targeted by Jinyiwei?
Xu Wei took a bite of the fatty but not greasy pork belly, drank a sip of the fragrant Huadiao, and was very satisfied with eating and drinking, before asking, "Which yamen are you from?" County yamen or government yamen? ”
Although Lu Yan has also been running around for several days, his upbringing is really much better than the two of them, guarding a cup of tea, and said quietly: "Fusi in the north town of the capital!" ”
As soon as he heard this name, Xu Wei's face changed greatly, he dropped his chopsticks, turned around and picked up a large vase behind him, hammered his chest and retched.
Although Zhu Yixiang is not full yet, he really has no appetite to see him like this.
When he finished vomiting, the old gentleman who was still red and energetic just now looked prostration, and their expressions were no longer as arbitrary and presumptuous as just now, but a look of horror, "I knew that I would come sooner or later, and the court couldn't let me go after all!" If you want to catch it, I'll just go with you, why make up any reason for Lord Zuo! ”
Zhu Yixiang hurriedly said: "Mr. Xu, you have misunderstood, we really came to you to inquire about Lord Zuoxian!" ”
Lu Yan didn't bother to explain his misunderstanding, and asked bluntly: "You only returned to Shaoxing from the capital the day before yesterday, but according to the time you left the capital, you should have returned to Shaoxing long ago!" ”
"I stayed at a friend's house in Yangzhou for two days!"
Zhu Yixiang slapped his head, it's over, the time and place are all right, I don't know what Lu Yan will do next!
"What friend, what have you been doing in the past few days, and where have you been? Who are you ...... with?" Lu Yan asked in detail.
Hearing Lu Yan's words, Xu Wei looked angry, "Do you suspect that I killed Zuo Xian?" Look at me, a bad old man who has no power to kill people? If it were really me, I wouldn't be so stupid as to throw a painting at the scene of the crime, and besides, I would at most bring some pen, ink, paper and inkstone when I go out, and I don't have the habit of going out with a painting! ”
Lu Yan sneered: "If you talk about martial arts, of course you can't kill more than 20 people by yourself, but Zuo Xian and his party died under the sword, and Mr. Xu followed Governor Hu to fight against the Japanese Kou. ”
Hearing this, Xu Wei trembled angrily, gritted his teeth and sneered: "You really want to add crimes, why don't you excuse it!" Xu Hai Wang is straight, but as long as there is more than one party, he can't wait to take the heads of my Xu and Governor Hu! The court wants to kill me, and can't find any other charges? ”
Xu Wei looked like he was going home, and Lu Yan couldn't really force him to death, and he couldn't ask anything from his mouth, so he had to let him go.
After Xu Wei left, Zhu Yixiang and Lu Yan were left in the private room to sit opposite each other. Lu Yan's face was shrouded in a layer of black mist, and Zhu Yixiang was a little apprehensive, and asked cautiously: "My lord, I think that although this Xu Wei has a strange temper, he is still above board, not like a murderer!" Let's hurry back to Fengle County, there are many clues! "First, he was worried about what Lu Yan was doing here, and secondly, he remembered the green peony in the prison of Fengle County.
Getting nothing from Xu Wei's mouth, Lu Yan was already displeased, Ling Yan's eyes glanced at Zhu Yixiang, and said in an unkind tone: "Are you teaching me how to do things?" ”
Zhu Yixiang's heart shrank, "No, no, no, the villain doesn't mean that, my lord, you are wise and martial, and you are clever ......"
Lu Yan was in a bad mood and didn't want to listen to the words of these horses in Zhu Yixiang, so he picked up the embroidered spring knife and went out!
Zhu Yixiang wiped the cold sweat from his head, and said in his heart that it was really a terrifying blood Yama!
