Chapter 322 Portraits
"Shi Shi Qi, please come here, there is something I want to tell you."
Chai Yan's voice was not warm, and Qi Changshi's back became cold. He seemed to feel a dark pot that was about to fall on him.
"Please speak with your highness, I will listen carefully."
Chai Yan nodded, obviously quite satisfied with Qi Changshi's attitude: "I want to send someone out of the city to do something."
Send someone out of the city to handle the business?
This doesn't seem to be a big deal, so don't report it to him, the chief minister.
Qi Changshi breathed a sigh of relief, but just halfway through, he sucked a fever.
"Going out of the city? How far?" Qi Changshi's throat was dry.
"It can be as few as dozens of miles, and it can be as many as thousands of miles, and it has not yet been decided." Chai Yan's tone was faint.
"How many people?" Qi Changshi's eyes were filled with tears.
"Twenty people." Chai Yan seemed to be calm and said that he wanted to take a few people to watch the show and go shopping.
"Does these twenty people hide their names or..." Qi Changshi did not say the following words, but he knew that the Seventh Prince must understand.
"When necessary, I will bring out my name, otherwise some things will be difficult to deal with."
Chai Yan's expression finally calmed down, and he showed a slight smile on his lips, but in the eyes of Changshi Qi, he became more and more frightened.
No matter whether you are a prince or a prince or a prince, you must not leave the capital or a hundred miles of fief without an imperial edict!
Of course, you can send your subordinates out, but you also have to do something secretly. Otherwise, as a prince, you will send someone to the place to do? Could it be that you want to collude with foreign officials and intend to rebel?
Therefore, unless the twenty people are hiding their names and pretending to be ordinary people, even if they are beaten to death, they will never say that they are the Seventh Prince.
But Chai Yan said that he should still give up his name when necessary, otherwise some things will be difficult to deal with.
"Do you know about Your Majesty and His Royal Highness?" Qi Changshi asked in a trembling voice. This was his last bit of hope.
Chai Yan looked at him and said with a smile: "If my father and elder brother know, why should I report to you?"
"This, this, this, this, the Seventh Prince, this is absolutely impossible!"
In the blink of an eye, Qi Changshi shed two lines of turbid old tears. Chai Yan admired him very much. No wonder his elder brother often said that he must not underestimate civil officials. Anyone who can be a safe and safe official for more than fifteen years will be a talent.
In order to show his importance to Qi Changshi, Chai Yan walked over and patted Qi Changshi on the shoulder: "For the rest of the matter, please give me the rest of my life. Thank you for your hard work, thank you."
Qi Changshi opened his mouth and wanted to say something else. Chai Yan rushed in front of him and said, "It's this time, Lord Changshi should go home too. I'll ask someone to send you back."
As soon as Chai Yan finished speaking, agate emerged from somewhere and held Qi Changshi's arm: "Sir Changshi, I'll send you back."
"Seven Palaces..."
"Your Highness Seventh Prince is grateful, you don't have to thank you anymore..."
Watching Agate help Qi Changshi leave, Chai Yan felt relieved.
He knew that once he sent someone out of Beijing to do a job, he would be known, and Changshi Qi would definitely have a solution to it.
Half an hour later, Liuli came back.
He took out two portraits, Chai Yan took them over and looked at them, but he didn't know any of them.
"How similar is this portrait to me?"
"The young man asked the shopkeeper of the theater and said that it was 30% similar. This was the third draft, and the painter tried his best. After all, he had not seen a real person, so he could only draw with the descriptions of the sweeping woman and the two neighbors." Liuli explained.
Chai Yan remembered the portraits of the queens of the Great Wei Dynasty that he had seen in the palace, along with the portraits of his own mother. The empresses on the portraits all had the same faces.
Oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, and a little cherry mouth.
At that time, he asked the queen, these portraits should not be similar to those of real people.
The queen smiled and said, "It's enough to be 30% similar."
So, whether it is a court painter or a painter who Liuli finds from the folk, they all have 30% of their abilities?
Chai Yan suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice: "What did you find out today?"
Liuli said, "I went in and searched. Chanjuan's clothes and bedding were indeed there, but Xiao's son didn't find a tael of silver or a piece of jewelry. I think Lin's mother brought them all when she went to Yuelai Inn.
However, the young one found this object at their home.”
As he said that, Liuli turned around and walked out of the door, and soon came back, with a pair of rusty brow thorns in her hand.
Chai Yan's eyes lit up and he asked, "Didn't this thing be taken away?"
"No, the young man asked the two sedan chairmen. They said that Mother Lin was carrying a small bag and holding a makeup box in her hand. She thought she was bringing clothes and rouge. Although these pair of moth eyebrows were short, they were weapons after all. They were worried that they would be checked when they left the city, so they didn't bring them with them.
What they hid was also hidden. These two erections were inserted into the soil and covered with blue bricks. I must have thought no one could find it."
This method of hiding weapons is indeed difficult to detect.
Chai Yan picked up a moth eyebrows and looked at it, locking his eyebrows tighter: "Cao Gang?"
The moth eyebrow thorn is also called the water-dividing moth eyebrow thorn. It was originally used for water wars. People dive in the water and use the moth eyebrow thorn to penetrate the bottom of the ship. Later, it was used by people on land.
Because I discovered that Chanjuan was Yan Xuehuai, Yan Xuehuai had a connection with the Cao Gang, and the moth eyebrows were mostly used underwater, so Chai Yan immediately thought of the Cao Gang.
In fact, when Liuli saw this pair of erections, the first thing she thought of was the Cao Gang.
But he dared not say it.
"It shouldn't be true. There are many women in the world who use moth eyebrows as weapons. They are not only the people of the Cao Gang. Besides, the Cao Gang is so rich that how could the women in the gang be secretly married? If this is true, we don't need to investigate. Bai Erniang will let them have three swords and six holes."
Bai Erniang's boudoir is Bai Ying. She is the sister-in-law of Zhou Da's family. She is in charge of punishment in the Cao Gang. She is a selfless female hero.
"The young man went to find the landlord again. The landlord said that when the mother and daughter came to rent a house, he knew what they were doing, so the rent was 30% higher than the market price. The mother and daughter agreed directly without bargaining.
After all, they are secret families, and the landlord is afraid of his wife. He usually dares to collect rent, for fear that his wife mistakenly thinks he is having sex with the mother and daughter, so he charges them for a whole year of rent at one time.
The landlord knew so much, so the little one went to find Li Zheng in that area again. Li Zheng refused to tell the truth at first, but Xiao was scared and he asked all of them.
Li Zheng said that when the mother and daughter came, there was no way to guide her. They stuffed Li Zheng ten taels of silver. It happened that a widowed woman who originally lived in that area wanted to go back to her hometown to serve her mother and daughter. Li Zheng asked her to sign a letter of refuge with the mother and daughter before returning home, and then used the letter of refuge to give the mother and daughter a letter of residence in the capital."
