Chapter 276: Serial Scheme (Part II)
The 'attendant' guards surrounded him, but he was blocked by Mo Junqing: "Prince, there are many doubts about this matter, why don't you let Lord Mu finish speaking?" β
"Mu Qingya, what else do you have to say, you said that Situ Fenghua wanted to poison the head of the Situ family, but what evidence do you have?" Mo Junming glanced at Mo Junqing, who was saluting respectfully in front of him, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, but he agreed, it seems that this third brother really cares about Mu Qingya.
"Naturally, there is evidence, and I also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to know that this birthday gift was prepared by Major General Situ Fenghua."
Situ Yanran's expression changed: "Mu Qingya, this birthday gift is clearly brought by you, how could it be how my uncle was killed, is there any His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in your eyes who actually told a lie that a three-year-old child doesn't believe?" Do you think the prince will believe you? β
"Why is Lord Situ so anxious, will the prince believe me, it's not up to you, the prince will naturally have his own judgment, am I disrespectful to His Royal Highness the prince when I tell the truth? Since I can always explain clearly and clearly, it is better for Lord Situ to be quieter. β
"You ......"
Mo Junming looked at Situ Yanran dissatisfiedly: "Mu Qingya is right, Situ Yanran, you listen quietly!" β
Situ Yanran's eyes were filled with a steady stream of hatred, her eyes were like a sword, and she wanted to break Mu Qingya's body into ten thousand pieces, but the prince spoke, and she didn't dare to interrupt Mu Qingya again.
Mu Qingya took out a bill from her cuff and handed it to Mo Junming on the side: "Please Prince Mingjian, this piece of paper was issued by Duobao Pavilion, the source of this painting, because Qingya only received the invitation from the Situ family three days ago, so she didn't have time to prepare a birthday gift, so she thought that this Duobao Pavilion was the property of Major General Situ Fenghua, and it had an excellent reputation in Shangjing, so I went to it to bang my luck to see if there was anything suitable for a birthday gift, but I didn't expect to really meet the painting of Zhang Ze, the favorite of the head of the Situ family, and let people' I spent 80,000 taels of silver to buy this painting, and let the people of Duobao Pavilion frame it and send it here, and today is the first time Qingya has seen this painting. β
How is this possible! This painting is from the Duobao Pavilion?
The people of the Situ family were all stunned on the spot, and Situ Fenghua frowned: "Nonsense! Lord Mu, Duobao Pavilion is my property, if there are paintings in it that my father likes, why would I not present them to my father but sell them? β
Mu Qingya raised the corners of her lips slightly: "Originally, I also wondered why Duobao Pavilion would sell paintings, but after listening to Lord Xu's words today, I realized that this painting is fake!" β
Many people nodded on the side, originally they also thought that Situ Fenghua should not sell this painting, but if this painting is fake, then it makes sense, after all, he can't use a fake painting as a birthday gift for his father, so it is understandable to sell it. A fake painting was sold for 80,000 taels of silver, what a lot of money!
"If Major General Situ doesn't believe it, you can personally verify this voucher, there can be the handprint and signature of the shopkeeper of Duobao Pavilion, and the seal of Duobao Pavilion, which is absolutely not reliable, if the Major General doesn't believe it, go and send someone to bring the shopkeeper of Duobao Pavilion over to ask, oh, and, when I was out of the palace, I also met Zhao Duogongzi, when I bought this painting, he was also present, he can prove it. After buying it, the painting was framed in the Duobao Pavilion and only today it was sent directly to Situ Mansion! β
Situ Fenghua's face was difficult to look at, he never thought that this painting was actually from Duobao Pavilion.
Zhao Duo, who was dressed in dark 'color' clothes, walked out with a folding fan in his hand, and his handsome face was full of lamentation: "I really watched a good show today, Lord Mu, who have you offended?" Someone framed you like this, it is really impermanent, people's hearts are not ancient, the prince, your highnesses, the head of the Situ family, the young general, Zhao Duo can testify, this painting was indeed bought in Duobao Pavilion, however, I think, the problem should not come from Duobao Pavilion, after all, it is the young general's industry, and the young general will not poison his father. β
Zhao Duo's words made Situ Fenghua's face more and more ugly, and Zhao Duo's words were like knives peeling things apart, making everyone can't help but guess what kind of blood is behind the matter.
Situ Canglin's face could no longer maintain its original majesty, and his face was blue and looked at Situ Fenghua: "Prince, when the matter comes to this, let's send someone to bring the shopkeeper of Duobao Pavilion, how can this matter be investigated." "In front of so many people, or at his birthday banquet, you have to find out, if you don't make it clear, Situ Fenghua's reputation won't be wanted!
Mo Junming nodded: "Okay, come on, go and bring the shopkeeper of the Duobao Pavilion over." β
Situ Canglin looked at the people below and said: "Today makes you laugh, today was originally the old man's birthday gift, which frightened you, and the old man will definitely make amends for his sins another day." β
As soon as the words came out, it naturally made everyone in the middle 'show' a flattered expression, this Situ Canglin's status in Canglan can be said to be second only to the royal family, that is the killing god trained on the battlefield, it can be said that it is extremely difficult to hear him say such soft words. Naturally, they did not dare to bear it.
Duanmu Mingli breathed a sigh of relief, the situation just now was really dangerous, if Qingya couldn't prove the origin of this birthday gift, I am afraid that it would be difficult to escape, but I don't know if the shopkeeper of this Duobao Pavilion will bite back.
Mu Qingya raised her eyes slightly, but she had never heard of it, when this Situ family master was soft, I am afraid that he is planning for his son today, but he is really an old fox-like character, thinking about it, he also guessed that he must have come prepared today, for fear that the shopkeeper will bring it over and say something unfavorable to Situ Fenghua later, so he will pave the way for himself first, and put a low posture to make everyone flattered, then when the time comes, it will not be difficult to shirk the charge! However, she didn't plan to do anything about Situ Fenghua, a small birthday gift, just from Situ Fenghua's industry, and she couldn't be sure that it was prepared by Situ Fenghua himself, so she couldn't help him! looked at Zhao Duo, who was holding a folding fan in his hand, thinking that this person who wanted to win her trust should have arranged everything.
Zhao Duo's 'lips' with a faint smile, the brilliance in his eyes, with a luxurious overflow, the folding fan in his hand was slightly open, it was the mountain and river map that Mu Qingya had seen, but today, there was a bloody sunset on this mountain and river map, and a little bit of red color was particularly bright and 'colorful' on the black and white ink mountain and river map. Touching Mu Qingya's gaze, the smile on the corner of his 'lips' deepened a little, and he blinked his eyes slightly.
The banquet froze, and everyone quietly waited for news.
Situ Yanran was anxious in her heart, she originally thought that things would go very smoothly, but she never thought that it would be to this point, Mu Qingya's birthday gift was clearly arranged by her, how could it come from Duobao Pavilion, this is absolutely impossible! It must be Mu Qingya who is lying, and that Zhao Duo, could it be that he has a 'private' relationship with Mu Qingya, so he helps her like this? Be sure to think of a way to debunk them!
An hour has passed, and the 'attendant' who went out to take the shopkeeper of Duobao Pavilion has not come back yet, a trace of uneasiness flashed in Situ Fenghua's eyes, Duobao Pavilion is two quarters of an hour away from Situ Mansion, how can it be delayed for so long?
After a while, a 'squire' guard hurried back: "Back to the prince, there was a fire in Duobao Pavilion, and the shopkeeper was burned when he was fighting the fire, and he was no longer breathing when he was pulled out." β
Situ Fenghua frowned, Duobao Pavilion was on fire?
Mo Junming: "How could there be a fire for no reason, and it was such a coincidence?" Is there a guy still alive? β
"Back to the prince, there are still ten guys who are fine, they have been taken to the 'door' by the minions."
"Well, bring them up."
Soon, ten people were brought up, these people had never seen such a big scene in their lives, and they all knelt on the ground tremblingly, not daring to raise their heads.
"This prince asks you, answer truthfully, and don't lie, understand?"
"The grass people understand...... Understand ......" replied with a pronounced tremor.
"Three days ago, did you sell a painting of Zhang Ze in Duobao Pavilion?"
Several people moved slightly, and all of them looked at a man kneeling in the middle. The man didn't dare to raise his head, and kowtowed twice on the ground: "Back to the prince, the grass people know something, the shopkeeper did sell a painting, it was Zhao Gongzi and Miss Mu who came to buy it together, and the grass people didn't dare to receive it at that time, so they called the shopkeeper over, as for whose painting, the grass people don't know." β
Mu Qingya's eyes were stained with a little smile, it seemed that Zhao Duo had arranged it well.
Situ Yanran snorted coldly: "Bold minion, do you know the fate of lying in His Royal Highness the Prince?" Zhao Gongzi, Miss Mu, so you know someone who went to buy paintings? β
Duanmu Mingli's eyes were cold, and she stood beside Mu Qingya and said, "Lord Situ, do you mean that this slave is lying?" β
"When did I say that, just ......"
Mo Junming's cold gaze fell on Situ Yanran, a sharp light flashed in his dark eyes, this slut dared to interrupt his question so arrogantly, such a cold feeling, Situ Yanran couldn't help but shut up.
Situ Canglin spoke: "Presumptuous, Yanran, you are so rude in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, it seems that the old man's punishment for you last time was really too light, and it ...... come to you."
"Okay, Lord Situ's 'temperament' is innocent, and this is understandable, the master of the Situ family doesn't have to care." After speaking, he turned his head to look at the kneeling person on the ground, "Since you know the name of the person who went to the Duobao Pavilion, then the matter will be easy, raise your head and see if there are any people around?" β
Hearing Mo Junming's words, the guy raised his head slowly: "Ah, Zhao Gongzi, and Miss Mu, if you go back to the prince, these two will go." At that time, the grass people only knew Zhao Gongzi, and they only knew her surname Mu when they heard Zhao Gongzi's name for this young lady. β
Mo Junming nodded, in Shangjing, the Zhao family is one of the three major families, and it is strange not to know him: "That painting was left in Duobao Pavilion and framed?" β
"Yes, it was framed by Master Wang himself at that time, and it took three days of hard work, and he immediately sent someone to send it over after the framing, ah...... Could it be that the painting is not framed well? β
Mo Junming looked at Situ Canglin: "Master Situ, this matter seems to be clear, this painting is indeed from Duobao Pavilion." β
Situ Fenghua's face was ugly: "Back to the prince, it was Weichen's lax discipline that made such a thing happen to the industry under his name, and Weichen will definitely find out the truth." β
"Hmm." Mo Junming nodded.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, please forgive me, but there is one more thing that Yanran really doesn't vomit and is unhappy, Mu Qingya, even if the birthday gift was not prepared by you, then what's the matter with the breeze drunk on your sleeve? Not to mention that your clothes are also from Duobao Pavilion? Situ Yanran glared at Mu Qingya angrily, with a decisive light in her eyes! ~οΌ
