Fu Qi asked, "can you draw? Can you draw the assassin's face? "
In order to be able to read the Buddhist scriptures, most monks can read and decipher, but few monks can draw. Not to mention Jiudeng's lack of a finger, holding a pen has become a problem, not to mention painting. Therefore, Fu Qi asked this question and didn't expect Jiudeng to really draw an assassin.
But what surprised him was that Jiudeng could draw, and it was very good.
There are ready-made pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the warehouse. Jiudeng skillfully spreads paper and grinds ink.
He picked up the brush. Because he lacked an index finger, he held the pen in a strange position, but he controlled the weight of the pen very carefully.
He was soon asked to draw a portrait.
With a few simple strokes, the assassin's facial features were outlined. The whole person jumped onto the paper and was very vivid.
Fu Qi couldn't help asking, "who did you learn painting from?"
Jiudeng did not answer, but folded his hands and saluted.
When Fu Qi saw that he refused to say anything, he wisely stopped asking questions, and hurried away with the portrait.
Ning Wang sat in a chair with hot tea in his hand and a fire pot in front of him. His fat body was warm and comfortable.
He sincerely lamented that it was lucky that he had brought Fu Qi, otherwise he would have to run back and forth in the temple at the moment.
Fu Qi walked in quickly: "Lord, I found a clue!"
Ning Wang was curious: "tell me, what clues?"
"Look at this portrait. This is the portrait of the assassin. We can find the assassin as long as we look at it."
Since the assassination of the crown prince, the emperor has ordered to blockade the whole city. Even if the assassin can leave Guangzhao temple, he must not get out of the city. In other words, the assassin must still be in the city now. As long as you search door to door with the portrait, you can find the assassin!
King Ning looked at the portrait in front of him and asked suspiciously, "where did you get this portrait?"
"It was painted by a monk in the temple. He happened to have seen the assassin once."
Ning Wang frowned: "since I've seen an assassin, why didn't he say it before?"
"He is timid and afraid of getting into trouble."
"When the prince was assassinated, he unexpectedly failed to report the information and must be punished."
Fu Qi advised: "these are small things. Don't worry about them for the time being. Anyway, all the monks are locked up in the temple and can't go anywhere. Our top priority is to catch the assassin quickly."
King Ning thought so and immediately said, "I'll go into the palace and ask the emperor to order a search of the whole city."
On the same day, all the officers and soldiers of Shuntian mansion and Xuncheng yamen were dispatched.
They took the portraits of assassins copied by painters and searched door to door.
Until this moment, the people in the city knew about the assassination of the prince. They were afraid of being involved.
Xu family residence.
Xu Jia told his father what happened outside.
"The assassin's whereabouts have been searched everywhere in the city these two days. They don't know where to get the assassin's portrait. I've seen it twice. The people on the portrait are really similar to the assassin."
Xu Yizhi frowned: "how did they get the assassin portrait?"
Xu Jia shook his head and said he didn't know.
Xu Yizhi asked again, "has the assassin been cleaned up?"
"It's absolutely clean. There's no trace left. Even if they dig three feet, they can't find the assassin."
"That's good," Xu Yizhi paused and asked, "what's going on over there with Wei Chen?"
"Before Ping Shi en died in prison, the emperor suspected that there was a ghost in the Dali temple. At the same time, all the head and warder in the Dali Temple Prison were changed, and the eyeliner we placed in it was replaced. During this period of time, after my unremitting efforts, two people have been re installed. As long as they find the right opportunity, they can end Wei Chen's life. "
At the end, Xu Jia's tone showed some ruthlessness.
Xu Yizhi warned: "since the emperor is suspicious, he will certainly strengthen his vigilance. You have to be careful."
Xu Jia replied, "I understand."
Xu Yizhi suddenly mentioned another thing.
"Yesterday, I asked the people of the Ministry of punishment to take the file about Shaoqing case. After careful inspection, I found a strange thing."
Xu Jia asked, "what's up?"
"It is said in the file that Shaoqing instigated the guard to rob and kill people, but in fact, the guard only robbed a holy place. Isn't it strange that you don't steal money, you don't rob sex, and you only take a holy place? "
Xu Jia nodded, "it's really strange."
Xu Yizhi murmured, "I always think it's not simple. There must be a secret in it."
"Shall I send someone to check?"
"I sent someone to Jiuqu county to investigate the origin of Gu Fei. As a result, all those people never returned. Later, Shaoqing wanted to go to Qiuyang mansion. I asked her to help check Gu Fei's affairs. Unexpectedly, she never returned..."
Speaking of this, Xu Yizhi moved in his heart and tried to connect the two things.
"Maybe Shaoqing, like those people, will die in a foreign land because of exploring Gu Fei."
Xu Jia frowned: "is Gu Fei really so powerful? Isn't he just a country hunter? "
"Do you think an ordinary country hunter can not only read and write articles, but also ride a horse and shoot arrows to kill the enemy?"
Xu Jia was speechless.
Xu Yizhi thought hard and said, "I don't always feel deja vu when I see Gu Fei. I always feel like I've seen him before. Where did I see him? Why can't I remember? "
When Xu Jia saw his father frowning, he said, "I really can't remember. Even if you're not well, the most important thing now is to take care of your body. I'll take care of other things."
Xu Yizhi was stunned. He didn't hear his son's words at all and was still reading them in pieces.
"I must have seen him. Who the hell is he?"
Xu Jia advised a few more words. Seeing his father, he still felt as if he hadn't heard of it. Helpless, he had to leave.
The people of Shuntian mansion and the city patrolling yamen have been busy for three days. Every family in Bianjing city has been checked. They have found all the places they can find. They are three feet away from digging the ground, but they still can't find the whereabouts of the assassin.
So the people of the censor's rostrum found an opportunity to show their skills.
They aimed their guns at the king of Ning, and sent letters of impeachment to the emperor. They said in the letters that the king of Ning did not do well. They searched the city indiscriminately without evidence, disturbed the hearts of the people, affected the authority of the court, failed to live up to the trust of the emperor, discredited the emperor, and so on.
If you count them in detail, there are at least 180 charges.
