Beloved at the Door - v2 Chapter 23
After listening to her, the other three immediately thought of one person, who was the mysterious man Rong Shaoying who had chased and killed Gong Wuhuan in the Jiangnan Yanzheng case more than a year ago.
“But isn’t he dead?” Hua Qianqian asked.
Gong Wuhuan twisted his eyebrows and said in a low voice, “This is exactly what I find strange. The cut on this corpse looks like a new one. It shouldn’t be him, logically. I obviously watched him fall in with my own eyes–” Suddenly, Gong Wuhuan was surprised as if thinking of something.
Shangguan Yan expressed her doubts on her behalf. “You only saw him fall into the ice lake, but you didn’t see him drown, did you?”
Gong Wuhuan looked at the big sister and nodded silently. The eyes of the other three people burst into light. If Rong Shaoying was the murderer, they would be able to lock the target!
This investigation is also a matter of luck. Obviously luck is on their side, and the case has made a lot of progress!
Bai Yuxiao suppressed the ecstasy and suppressed her voice even lower. “But we don’t know what he looks like?”
Hua Qianqian immediately said, “Don’t be afraid, just find someone to draw it.”
Shangguan Yan agreed. “Find someone who can draw an eighth image.”
But the painter has never looked at people. If you just rely on his narrative, you have to look at the skill of painting. That alone is not enough. It also depends on whether the painter can figure out what the narrator wants to express, and know whether he can draw the characters. Shen Yun, in addition to good pen skills, the comprehension of the painter is also very important.
Just as they were discussing who to look for to paint, a faint sentence suddenly came from behind Hua Qianqian——
“I can.”
It’s not a ghost talking, it’s Ye Qing. The four of them had already taken him off for his supernatural appearance, but what surprised them was that Ye Qing could paint? Even Hua Qianqian was surprised. With him for so long, why didn’t she know that he could still paint?
Without further ado, the four of them immediately bid farewell to the emperor, saying that they would look elsewhere based on the clues. In fact, they wanted to find a place for Ye Qing to immediately draw the appearance of Rong Shaoying.
Gong Changxiao had never seen Rong Shaoying, but he knew that his wife was almost robbed by this man.
When Ye Qing really painted Rong Shaoying’s appearance based on Gong Wuhuan’s dictation, even Gong Wuhuan, who had a cold face, couldn’t help being surprised and gave Ye Qing a thumbs up.
“It’s really like painting. Not only is it lifelike, it also draws Shen Yun. It’s a great skill.”
Ye Qing clasped his fists. “Extraordinary.”
The two cold people exchanged some opinions again, discussing whether to portray more expressions and actions to make the characters more vivid.
“With this painting, I can hand it over to the Caobang brothers for help. The Caobang brothers are all over the provinces. The number of people is easy to do, and it’s much faster than we can find people.” Gong Wuhuan finished speaking, and turned to find the bow length. Xiao discussed, but found that he was staring at the portrait, his face was pale, and his whole body exuded a murderous air.
She asked strangely, “What’s wrong with you?”
Gong Changxiao turned his head to look at her, and asked in a deep voice, “Is he the one who haunted you with the shameless and lingering spirit?”
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone’s eyes were cast on the bow gang leader with ambition. Someone seemed to forget that he was also brazen and haunting Wuhuan at the beginning.
But when he was not smiling, the bow gang master also had such a shocking aura, as if he had changed himself.
Gong Wuhuan usually looks indifferent. At this moment, seeing her husband gritted his teeth, he couldn’t help showing a gentle smile, the coldness in his eyes was replaced by a gentle soft light.
She stretched out her hand to hold her husband’s hand, and said softly: “If he is not dead, there must be clues to follow. If brother Caobang can find his news, we can do meritorious service in front of the emperor, and you can avenge me. “
Gong Wuhuan’s words caused Gong Changxiao’s hostility to dissipate immediately, and her big palms held her catkins instead, the stone-carved solemn face evoked a smile, her face turned gentle, her eyes firm.
“I will catch him for you.”
“Okay.” Gong Wuhuan nodded, the smile on the corner of his mouth was shallow, but it was rare and gentle.
Gong Wuhuan turned his head and found that everyone was watching her, and couldn’t help but wonder. “what’s happenin?”
Bai Yu was amazed. “Second Sister, we don’t know that you, who have always been coldhearted, can be so gentle when facing the second brother-in-law?” Bai Yuxiao asked everyone’s heart.
Gong Wuhuan smiled indifferently. “He is my husband, who should I be to him if he is not gentle?”
This is a matter of course, but it sounds as beautiful as the sound of heaven in Gong Changxiao’s ears. He embraced his wife’s waist with excitement and assured her. “With your words, I can go up to the knife mountain or down to the pan.”
Gong Wuhuan smiled faintly at him. “Don’t have to be so troublesome, just help us find Rong Shaoying’s whereabouts.”
“Okay, wrap it on me!”
Everyone laughed, and Hua Qianqian and Bai Yuxiao joked, “Don’t lose your faith then. The four famous catchers are not fuel-efficient lamps. Don’t let the wind go.”
Everyone talked and laughed for a while, and quickly returned to the topic, and began to draw up the next plan and assignment of tasks. First, let Ye Qing paint a few more portraits of Rong Shaoying, and then let Gong Changxiao hand over the portraits to the Caobang. The rudder master went to secretly search for people.
Others also used their personal connections to inquire about the news. After all, the emperor only said to find people, and it was done secretly, indicating that the emperor did not want too many people to know, so they must also be cautious not to disclose secrets, and even to verify the identities of the dead bodies. It must be done in private.
Bai Yuxiao told Ling Wang about their plans, which made Ling Wang very surprised.
“Do you know who to look for?”
“Yes, maybe the emperor is looking for this person named Rong Shaoying. We are thinking, that Zhuangzi was burned down, it must have something to do with Rong Shaoying.”
Ling Wang thought for a while, shook his head and said, “I’ve never heard the name Rong Shaoying.”
“Really? That’s weird. If the emperor is not looking for people related to the royal government, is it the remnants of the Jiangnan Yanzheng case? The emperor will not want to catch it all at once? But it’s not right. If it’s related to the Yanzheng case, why the emperor? Doesn’t announce that the world is wanted? And the emperor doesn’t seem to know the name and appearance of the other party?”
Bai Yuxiao tried her best to use her brains. Each of them had their own tasks, and the part she was responsible for was to inquire from the court, so she came back to discuss with her own prince, but the prince never heard of Rong Shaoying… It’s weird, the second sister clearly said that when she confronted Rong Shaoying, that Rong Shaoying had hinted in his words that his identity seemed to be related to the dignitaries in the DPRK…
Bai Yuxiao suddenly remembered something and patted her head. “Look at my memory, I forgot to show you the portrait!” Then he quickly opened the box and took out the portrait inside to show her husband.
“Here, look, this is the portrait of Rong Shaoying.”
When Ling Wang saw the portrait, he couldn’t help being startled, staring straight at the person in the painting.
Bai Yuxiao immediately noticed his strangeness. “what’s happenin?”
Ling Wang stared at the portrait, his thick eyebrows tucked tightly, and his expression solemn. Bai Yuxiao felt even more anxious when he saw him not talking. She knew that her husband must have seen something.
“Say it!” I was really anxious.
The Ling King pondered for a while before he spoke to his wife, but his tone was very serious.
“This person is like a person.”
“Who?”
“When I was young, there was a palace lady by my father’s side. If I remember correctly, the palace lady was named Rong…”
The mausoleum confided in the old past. Although he was only five years old at that time, he remembered clearly that the girl in the Rong Palace was very beautiful and loved by the emperor. She always waited on her by his side, but one day he didn’t know. What happened, the maid fell into the water and drowned.
Such secrets are only known to the prince who grew up in the palace. It is reasonable to say that it is not uncommon for a palace lady to die in the palace, but the father was very angry about this and sent someone to investigate it, but he still couldn’t find it. The reason.
The appearance of this Rong Shaoying is very similar to that of the Rong maid, and it looks like she was born. If you look carefully, the eyebrows and nose are also somewhat similar to those of the emperor. I want the maid of the Rong to serve by the emperor. The emperor is secretly looking for Rong Shaoying… Such a deduction, it is inevitable that people will think of a possibility.
Isn’t Rong Shaoying the father’s child? In other words, this person might be his brother Si Liujing?
This speculation surprised both of them. Assuming that Rong Shaoying was born by the royal palace lady for his father, but did not have a jade slip, it can be seen that it was a secret birth, and suppose that the palace lady did not know how to get the child. Outside the palace, but someone with a heart knew the secret, so he threw her into the water to drown?
After so many years, the emperor did not look for the father, but now he is looking for it. It must be a secret that I only learned in the past few years. In the Yanzheng case, Rong Shaoying was involved with the imperial concubine Yu in the palace, so it is difficult to become a father. What clues did the emperor find when he was investigating the concubine Yu’s concubine?
The Yanzheng corruption case caused many people to be beheaded in jail. The father even gave the concubine Yu to death. But for Rong Shaoying, the father didn’t know his name or appearance. He only knew there was this person, but he only ordered them. “Looking for someone” instead of “grabbing someone,” and asking them to do it in secret, all these signs have shown that the father attaches great importance to this person.
I am afraid that the father has been secretly sending the four famous arrests and investigations. Until recently, after finding the burnt-down Zhuangzi, he went out of the palace and found Master Di.
Ling Wang and Bai Yuxiao were secretly shocked by this hypothesis. If it weren’t for the portrait painted by Ye Qing, Ling Wang would not think of the Rong court lady, let alone the identity of Rong Shaoying, and guessed that this person might be the emperor. The son living outside the palace.
