Xu Qian smiled and said confidently: "Don't tell the difference, this is fake." Father-in-law, you see, this layer of framed paper still has a dampness, generally only new framed paper will be so, and this character has been hanging on the father-in-law's hall for some time, it is said that it should have been air-dried, but all air-dried framed paper is very brittle, this is because of the lack of moisture. ”

Wang Gonggong heard it in a fog, but saw Xu Qian and said: "Look at this character again, where it looks like a work made in one go, look at the place where the pen is so round, it is clearly described, Wang Gonggong, I dare to take the head as a guarantee, this character has been dropped by someone, and ......" Xu Qian glued his hand to the ink in the text panel, wiped it hard, and a layer of light ink was already stained on his fingers, Xu Qian continued: "And the time to drop the bag will not be too long, that is, these three or five days." But the strange thing is that this character is not a treasure, and there is no inscription and noble seal on it, so what is the use of stealing this character? ”

The prince sneered: "What do you know? This is someone who wants to embarrass our family, and this person is so poisonous. ”

Xu Qiancai couldn't help but glance sideways at Wang Gonggong, seeing that his face was pale, from his expression and words, he seemed to guess that this character was very important to Wang Gonggong. It is precisely because of this that some people took the opportunity to drop the letter, so it seems that this matter involves political struggles. Thinking back to the cautious appearance of the prince before, Xu Qian thought in his heart that this painting must not be lost to the prince, and now it is stolen, so he doesn't want more people to know.

Thinking of this, Xu Qian's neck was cold, and he couldn't help but think, a dead eunuch wouldn't kill people. Oh my God, I have a forty-year-old father and a few big reed chickens underneath, and my life is very precious.

Xu Qian felt more and more that there was a possibility of being killed and killed, and hurriedly said: "If this is someone making trouble behind his back, then this person will definitely publicize this matter after stealing his father-in-law's banner, so as to hit his father-in-law's ......" Xu Qian's words are to sue the prince and father-in-law, this matter cannot be hidden, even if you kill people, it is useless, and then said: "And this character has just been dropped, according to the villain's estimate, the person who stole must be someone from the father-in-law's mansion, and he must have been bought by someone to take the risk." Since the text panel has been stolen not long ago, there may be a chance to find it back, and the father-in-law can immediately send someone to search for it, hurry up, and there is still room for redemption. ”

The prince said solemnly: "Redemption? Hmph, the less people know about this matter, the better, since it is the people in the house who steal, then our family orders to go down, maybe the next moment the news will reach the ears of the thief, people's hearts are unpredictable, our family can't take this risk. ”

This has nothing to do with Xu Qian, what Xu Qian is thinking about now is whether he can get out, and whether the prince can let himself go for the sake of exposing the banner.

Wang Gonggong looked Xu Qian up and down, and suddenly asked: "You are the son of a Xu official, and you are actually proficient in calligraphy and painting?" ”

Xu Qian said: "I know a little bit about it, it's just a coincidence." ”

Xu Qian's name has a humble character, of course, he should be modest, in fact, he also wants to be arrogant, but he doesn't have the capital to be arrogant, or low-key, looking at the dead eunuch's room with so many calligraphy and paintings, he must also be a cultured dead eunuch, since ancient times, the literati are light, if he is too full of words, the dead eunuch will not hear the right taste, and the dirty thoughts of the dead eunuch will diverge, and he will castrate himself, where will he reason?

Wang Gonggong smiled, like a spring breeze, like a dark cloud blown away by the spring breeze, and said very kindly: "It's rare that you can understand calligraphy and painting at a young age, and be modest, not bad, not bad." ”

Wang Gonggong suddenly became a smiling living Buddha from an angry King Kong, Xu Qian suddenly found it difficult to accept, this dead eunuch is really, knowing that you change your face quickly, but you have to give people a little psychological preparation.

And......

Xu Qian is a human being in two lives, how can he not understand the sophistication of human feelings, the dead eunuch suddenly praised himself, absolutely uneasy and kind, most likely there is something to ask for next.

Sure enough, the prince put his left hand behind him, leaned against the table, and the knuckles of his right hand rhythmically tapped on the table, as if he had made an idea, and then said: "But your prescription has killed the head of our family, how can you say that there is no account if there is no account?" Human life is a major matter, even if our family does not dispose of you, and then we will send you to the yamen, you will not be able to run away from exile for 3,000 miles. But we're not unreasonable, right? ”

Wang Gonggong immediately smiled and said: "The matter has come out, the most important thing at the moment is to remedy, our family is kind-hearted, you are young, how can you be pushed into the fire pit?" In this way, we have one thing for you to do, and if you do it well, the old accounts in the past will be written off, but if you don't do it well, ......"

Wang Gonggong's face changed again, and he smiled at Xu Qian with pity, and said, "Then the new account and the old account are calculated together, how about it, have you thought clearly?" ”

This is the carrot and the stick, Xu Qian is sad in his heart, this is the disadvantage of being powerless.

"The father-in-law is sent, the villain is willing to go to the soup and the fire, the villain has heard the father-in-law's name for a long time, and he can do things for the father-in-law, and the villain is too late to be happy, where is there any reason to refuse?"

Seeing that Xu Qian did not shirk, Wang Gonggong's face looked much better, and he changed his smile again, and said: "Our family is entrusting you to find out the whereabouts of this banner, this matter is very important, as few people know as little as possible, as long as you can find out the whereabouts, this palace will naturally have benefits for you." ”

Advantage...... Xu Qian burst into tears, he didn't want benefits, how could the benefits of eunuchs be so easy to take.

But looking at this posture, people are carrying a kitchen knife, and you have to take advantage of him.

Check it out!

"But to check, I'm afraid that the manpower is not enough, especially the personnel on the father-in-law's mansion are not clear, so there has to be a trustworthy person to help, I heard that there is a powerful person under the father-in-law's hands, this person's surname is Deng Mingjian, both civil and military, very loyal, the father-in-law might as well send him to the villain, I don't know if the father-in-law is willing?"

"Deng Jian?" Presumably, this guy belonged to the members of the town guarding the periphery of the eunuch's mansion, anyway, the prince didn't have much impression of this person, so he said: "Wait a minute, let's go and ask." ”

Immediately called someone to come and asked about Deng Jian's situation, so he called someone to call Deng Jian in.

Xu Qian felt sè in his heart, Brother Deng, you also have a day when you fall into my hands! Then he snickered treacherously.

Deng Jian came in confused, first glanced at Xu Qian on the side in amazement, and thought viciously: Hasn't this surnamed Xu been dragged out to feed the dog? When did the prince have such a good temper?

He thought to himself, maybe my father-in-law heard that I was very powerful, so he specially ordered me to carry out the execution.

Deng Jian was suddenly excited, thinking chaotically, should I break his hand first, or break his leg? Ha...... For the sake of his filial piety to Uncle Deng, let's gouge out his eyes first. Uncle Deng has been loyal all his life, and he can't ruin his reputation because of this, Amitabha, good, good.

"Deng Jian......" The prince called him and interrupted his obscenity.

"Father-in-law, the villain Deng Jian has seen his father-in-law, and his father-in-law is blessed." Deng Jian immediately changed to a smirk, his small eyes narrowed into a line, and his teeth were neatly exposed.

"Shameless!" Xu Qian scolded in his heart.

The prince nodded to Deng Jian expectantly, and said: "Our family knows your loyalty, and now our family has something to hand over to you, from now on, you obey his dispatch, don't ask more, just listen to his orders." Things are done well, our family has a reward, if you dare to have any crooked thoughts, our family will take your life, do you know? ”

When the prince said him, he tapped Xu Qian with his hand.

Deng Jian was shocked, what kind of soup did this kid pour into the prince? Not only did the prince not clean him up, but he actually let himself run errands under the hands of this kid, which ...... It's counterintuitive.
