I saw that the waist-high pear wood box contained a box of portraits. In addition, there were various styles of ornaments, all of which were strange and weird things.
Jiang Jingyu casually flipped through the two portraits and found that they depicted different scenes and locations. The women in the portraits were also different, but the man was always the same.
It was Zhou Huaiqian’s cheap cup.
Jiang Jingyu and Jiang's mother looked at Jiang's father in shock. The latter stroked his beard and raised his eyebrows calmly.
"How is it? Does this count as evidence?"
Mother Jiang grabbed Father Jiang's arm and said, "Husband, I just want to know where you got these portraits!"
Jiang Jingyu also looked straight at Jiang's father, waiting for his explanation.
"I learned that bastard Zhou Huaiqian was engaged to my daughter but married someone else in Miaojiang, so I sent people to investigate. After finding out all this, I immediately hired a painter at a high price and had him go to Miaojiang to record all the evidence."
Jiang Jingyu asked doubtfully, "Dad, didn't Zhou Huaiqian discover that the painter had painted so many portraits in a row?"
"My dear, you may not know that these portraits were left behind in the fireworks area of Miaojiang. There is a custom in the fireworks area of Miaojiang that requires painters to leave a portrait for the guests as a gift."
"Of course, that bastard Zhou Huaiqian is very cautious. He always burns the portraits. These portraits were copied by the painter based on his memory."
Jiang Jingyu: “?!”
This rule is great!
"Dad, what are these?"
Jiang Jingyu casually picked up a strange ornament from the box.
"These are the tokens of love Zhou Huaiqian gave to his eighteen concubines. Later, they were abandoned by Zhou Huaiqian, so Dad spent money to buy these tokens. They can be kept as evidence."
Jiang Jingyu raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at the jewelry in her hand, and found a line of very inconspicuous small words engraved on it - Huai Qian gave it to Su Su.
Wow, you really know how to play.
She picked up another one at random and found that there was also a line of words written on it - Huai Qian gave it to Zilin.
Jiang Jingyu picked up five or six pieces of jewelry in a row and found that there was a line of small words engraved on each piece. Jiang Jingyu's mouth twitched and he threw all the jewelry back into the box.
Wow, now you can give a heart-shaped stone to your girlfriend, and in ancient times there was a token of loyalty given to someone by Huai Qian.
It turns out that the method of fish farming has been passed down from ancient times.
Mother Jiang suddenly shook Father Jiang's arm and said, "My dear, even though the portrait is here, what if Zhou Huaiqian denies it and claims we fabricated it?"
"Madam, don't worry. The painter I hired is not an ordinary painter. He is from the Qingshan School. Everyone knows that painters from the Qingshan School never cheat. Even if that bastard had a hundred mouths, he wouldn't be able to argue!"
After the last bit of doubt in her heart was dispelled, Jiang Jingyu's eyes flickered: "Dad, since the evidence is here, what are you waiting for?"
Father Jiang and Mother Jiang looked at each other and asked tentatively, "My daughter, do you really agree that we should spread this evidence?"
They all saw how much their daughter cared about that bastard Zhou Huaiqian, so why was she...
Jiang Jingyu nodded. If she hesitated even a little, she would be giving the scumbag a hard time!
Stay away from scumbags and live a peaceful life!
Father and Mother Jiang looked delighted, their daughter finally came to her senses!
Without his daughter's obstruction, Jiang's father immediately had the pear wood box carried out.
Money makes the world go round. With the financial resources of the Jiang family, the portraits in the pear wood box were soon posted in the streets and alleys of the imperial city.
The people's attention quickly shifted from the imperial edict to the portrait.
"Hey, this, this man is General Zhou?"
"Looking at this, it's undoubtedly General Zhou!"
"This environment doesn't look like the imperial city. Where is General Zhou?"
"I recognize the clothes worn by these dancing girls. This is the fireworks land of Miaojiang!"
Just as everyone was surprised, someone shouted, "Look, there are words here!"
Everyone gathered around and saw a line of words on one side of the portrait, marking the date and place.
On the 25th day of the Jia month in the 23rd year of the Jingtai reign, the building was full of flowers.
This line of words just confirmed what the man said just now, that this was indeed a place of fireworks.
But wasn't the Miao region at war with the Xiongnu on the 25th day of the Jia month in the 23rd year of the Jingtai reign? How could General Zhou, the leader of the army, appear in such a place?
Zhou Huaiqian had made great military achievements, and the people did not believe that he would abandon the soldiers fighting on the frontier to go and have fun in a place with fireworks.
"I think these portraits are all fabricated! Their purpose is to discredit General Zhou!"
"That's right! General Zhou has made great military achievements during his years stationed in Miao territory. We can't let others deliberately frame him and wrongly accuse him!"
The people, thinking of Zhou Huaiqian's military achievements over the years, did not believe that the content of the portrait was true at all.
"The seal of the Qingshan Sect! It's the seal of the Qingshan Sect!"
The servant placed among the common people by Jiang's father pointed at the Qingshan Sect seal engraved on the portrait and exclaimed.
"What? Qingshan Sect?!"
As the number one painting school in Nanxuan Country, the Qingshan School's reputation is widely known in Nanxuan Country and even in the four countries. In addition to its unique painting skills, the Qingshan School also has a rule.
The painting is imaginary, the scenery is real.
All paintings by Qingshan School painters are based on real objects and are never created out of nothing.
Not to mention fraud and fabricated scenery.
So the person in the portrait is indeed General Zhou. During the war in Miao territory, General Zhou really did abandon his soldiers fighting on the front lines and go off to live a carefree life in a place with brothels!
Taking advantage of the fact that the people's trust in Zhou Huaiqian began to waver, the servants of the Jiang Mansion who were mixed in the crowd began to add fuel to the fire and took out the tokens that Zhou Huaiqian had given to his concubines.
Not only that, they also displayed portraits of Zhou Huaiqian beating his wife and driving away his illegitimate son.
Zhou Huaiqian's ferocious, cruel, cold-blooded and ruthless face was exposed in front of everyone!
The people stared with wide eyes at the scene in the portrait in disbelief.
This, this, this is the upright General Zhou who deeply loves his wife and children? ?
Without giving the people time to react, the servant of the Jiang Mansion started his performance again. He sat down on the ground with a thud and wailed loudly.
"I thought General Zhou and his wife were deeply in love, and I used to regard him as a role model. I never thought he would be such a beast in human form!"
"He was clearly engaged to Miss Jiang, but he broke his promise and married someone else. That's fine, but I didn't expect him to go against his ancestral teachings and take in eighteen concubines!"
"At first, when I heard that General Zhou was living a carefree life as a local tyrant in Miao territory, I didn't believe it. But now the evidence is right in front of me. What can I say? What else can I say?!"
"You can't judge a person by his appearance. He even killed his wife who gave birth to a son and a daughter. Who would dare to marry their daughter to this general's mansion in the future?"
"As the saying goes, people from the same family don't marry. Now I finally understand what our ancestors meant. General Zhou and his brother who robbed a woman in the street are clearly birds of a feather!"
