Chapter 17: The Tiger Roars
In the elegant, bookish study, the deputy city lord knelt on the futon, carefully looking at a picture scroll. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Although this painting is good, it still lacks a trace of charm after all. ”
"This is the famous work of the top people in Binh Duong City, I am really disappointed. ”
The deputy city lord is in his forties, and because he has been in a high position for a long time, he has a momentum of not being angry and arrogant.
Although the deputy city lord was a little disappointed, he was also a person who loved painting, and he knew that his requirements were too harsh, and the picture scroll in front of him was already precious.
Therefore, after carefully observing it for a while, the deputy city lord finally wrapped up the scroll.
"Hey, why is it so noisy?"
The deputy city lord is a scribe, who is usually quiet, but at this time, he heard the faint shouting and scolding outside, and his face couldn't help but sink.
"Someone!"
After the deputy city lord shouted, the door was pushed open, and an old man walked in.
"My lord, what do you have to say?"
After seeing the old man, the deputy city lord immediately said, "Fu Bo, why is it so noisy outside?"
The old man said: "There is a young man named Yang Feng, who sells paintings not far from the mansion, and shouts out the sky-high price. ”
The deputy city lord was stunned when he heard this, and said in disbelief: "What kind of picture scroll is actually worth a thousand gold?"
The old man shook his head and said with some disdain: "I guess it must be that Yang Feng who said wildly, wanting to defraud money through this scroll." ”
The deputy city lord asked, "Why did Fu Bo say this?"
Fu Bo replied: "Someone recognizes the identity of Yang Feng, but it is just a broken family of a village, and he has been poor for generations, where can there be a family heirloom treasure scroll?"
Besides, many onlookers asked Yang Feng to show the scroll to everyone, but he never did so, he must be a thief. ”
For those who are deceived and deceived, Fauber hates them to the core.
He had the intention to let people arrest Yang Feng, but Yang Feng was selling on the street, and the price was clear, and the things had not been sold.
At least until now, Yang Feng has not violated the laws of Pingyang City.
Therefore, even if Fu Bo couldn't get used to Yang Feng and had the right to send someone to take him down, considering the reputation of the deputy city lord, he didn't act like this in the end.
After all, the city lord has always been at odds with the deputy city lord, and if he leaves the handle to the city lord, it will be very disadvantageous to the deputy city lord.
The deputy city lord knew about Fu Bo's past, and when he saw him talking like this, he was also a little dumbfounded, but he also had a trace of curiosity about the scroll in Yang Feng's hand.
Unlike ordinary people, the deputy city lord didn't think that Yang Feng was trying to cheat money.
Otherwise, if a painting is openly sold on the street, not only will it not be sold, but it will also be criticized by the population.
"I like calligraphy and painting, and someone is selling it not far from the mansion, and they shout out a price that is impossible to sell. ”
"If there's nothing greasy in it, how can it be?"
As a scribe, the deputy city lord has been fighting for power and profit with the city lord in Pingyang City for so many years, so he is naturally not an ordinary person.
After thinking about it for a while, he knew that Yang Feng's goal this time was very likely to be himself.
"Whether this person wants to assassinate or has other plans, I should go and see it, so that I can take the initiative. ”
With a plan in his heart, the deputy city lord immediately said: "I'm very interested in that painting, so Fu Bo will go out with me and see that Yang Feng." ”
Fu Bo was stunned when he heard this, and said in disbelief: "Don't be deceived by that guy, my lord. ”
The deputy city lord said with a smile: "Does Fu Bo think that a hairy boy who has not dried up can deceive me?"
Fu Bo was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said, "That's true, since the adults want to go out and have a look, the old man will follow him." ”
The two walked out of the Deputy City Lord's Mansion together and walked straight towards Yang Feng's position.
The onlookers saw that the two were from the deputy city lord's mansion, and hurriedly gave way to a road, and some inexplicable people were also pulled aside by their companions.
The deputy city lord was dressed in a green shirt and had an extraordinary bearing, and although Fu Bo was older, his eyes were also very sharp.
After entering the crowd, Fu Bo followed closely beside the deputy city lord, his eyes constantly patrolling the nearby crowd.
"Hey, that person seems to be a martial artist in the realm of refining and refining qi. ”
Fu Bo's eyes kept patrolling, and when he saw Huan Chang, his eyes couldn't help shrinking, and his body tensed.
"This man is so young!"
Looking at Huan Chang, who had a vigorous face but had already reached the realm of refining and refining qi, Fu Bo couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
As if feeling Fu Bo's movements, the deputy city lord followed Fu Bo's gaze and saw Huan Chang standing aside with a smile, and he seemed to be able to feel a familiar aura from this person.
"This person has an elegant aura around his body, and he must be a person who reads poetry and books. ”
The deputy city lord is a scribe who likes to dance and write, and naturally has a good impression of scholars, so he can't help but bow his head slightly.
Huan Chang had been quietly watching the deputy city lord, and after seeing his movements, he also smiled and returned the salute.
The deputy city lord slowly walked forward, and the originally noisy crowd slowly quieted down, and some people recognized the identity of the deputy city lord, and they didn't dare to make a loud noise anymore.
The deputy city lord didn't pay attention to everyone's movements, walked to a position not far from Yang Feng, and said with a smile: "I want to buy this calligraphy and painting, I wonder if the little brother can let me watch it first." ”
Yang Feng also noticed the arrival of the deputy city lord, and couldn't help but set his eyes on Huan Chang.
Huan Chang walked up unhurriedly, thinking that the deputy city lord bowed and saluted, and then said slightly apologetically: "To be honest, this painting is actually not a family heirloom. ”
"However, I believe that he will not disappoint the adults. ”
After finishing speaking, Huan Chang took the scroll from Yang Feng's hand and slowly opened it in the void.
Fu Bo had been watching Huan Chang's movements, and when he saw him open the scroll, the true qi in his body couldn't help but slowly condense.
If Huan Chang has any ill intentions, he will usher in a thunderous blow from Fuber.
In the entire Pingyang City, except for the city lord, Fu Bo believed that no one could block his full blow, and no one could hurt the deputy city lord under his own protection.
The scroll was slowly opened, and at this time, the crowd of onlookers also stretched their necks, wanting to see the contents of the scroll.
From beginning to end, the deputy city lord was a light and breezy appearance, smiling and staring at the picture scroll.
However, when the picture scroll was fully unfolded, the deputy city lord and everyone present felt a shock in their hearts.
"Roar!"
A majestic tiger roared in everyone's hearts.
Even those on the back of the scroll seem to see a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, and then pounce on them.
Many people couldn't help but scream, and then fell to the ground, drenched in cold sweat.
