Chapter 341 If you want to save your life, you must hold on tightly to the Ninth Princess's thigh
The smile on Lu Yanshi's face suddenly froze.
What? He actually got it wrong?
Zhu Xinhui and his wife were so brave that they dared to deceive him with a fake painting?
[The real painting was swapped when I sold it last time.]
[Poor old Tao, he died without knowing his baby was gone.]
Lu Li read the whole story on the melon-eating system and felt a little sympathetic towards the Tao family.
He didn't even know that his heirloom had been replaced by someone else.
Hearing this, Lu Yanshi actually breathed a sigh of relief.
He said that Zhu Xinhui and his wife would never have the guts to deceive the emperor.
[Let me see if the guy who replaced the fake painting is still here. ]
[Oh wow, it's actually there. He has embezzled the original painting.]
【He asked someone to copy this painting. 】
[Father likes this painting so much, so I should tell him right away.]
Lu Li thought for a moment and made a decision.
She reached out and tugged at Lu Yanshi's sleeve, and whispered, "Dad, there's something wrong with this painting. It's fake."
"Oh? Xiaojiu, can you tell what's wrong with it?" Lu Yanshi cooperated in the acting.
"I don't know, but I know where it is." Lu Li shook her head.
"Impossible, this is true. We would never dare to deceive you." Tao Tao was shocked when he heard this and quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"You took the painting to sell before, and it was replaced by someone else." Lu Li signaled the guards to quickly help the man up.
Tao Tao's mind suddenly went blank.
What? It was switched.
"The other party is very powerful. It's normal that you didn't notice it." Lu Li hurried to comfort him.
Tao Tao suddenly remembered.
When my father went to the pawnshop to redeem the painting, the pawnshop owner said that a nobleman wanted to appreciate it for a few more days, and they were willing to pay a viewing fee and let them view it for a few more days before redeeming it.
For the money, my father agreed.
I guess it was at that time that the person was switched.
"What should we do now?" Tao Tao was about to cry.
Wouldn't this be considered a crime of deceiving the emperor?
"Of course I'll go find them and get the things back, returning them to their original owners." Lu Li answered without hesitation.
Lu Yanshi had exactly this idea.
He also wanted to see who had copied this painting so realistically that he was even deceived.
"Is it okay?" Tao Tao looked at everyone blankly.
"Listen to Xiaojiu and let's go." Lu Yanshi gave the order as if it was normal.
Everyone immediately saddled their horses, packed their things, and set off without any delay.
Zhu Xinhui and Tao Tao had just joined the team and were a little confused about the situation.
Shouldn't we obey the emperor in everything?
Why would the emperor listen to the orders of a baby?
Seeing the silly look on the couple's faces, Qu Fufeng brought Zhu Xinhui to his carriage and explained to him the survival rules of their incognito team.
Everything revolves around the Ninth Princess.
If the Ninth Princess is happy, the Emperor will be happy.
Don't be too surprised if you find anything strange, the Ninth Princess is capable of doing anything.
If you want to save your life, you must hold on tightly to Princess Nine's thigh.
"I'm telling you this because I treat you as my own. I will never tell anyone else." Qu Fufeng lowered his voice.
Zhu Xinhui nodded blankly.
Jiang Heci was embroidering her handkerchief slowly and leisurely, not caring at all about what they were talking about.
A few days ago, he saw that the second princess's handkerchief was damaged, so he had to embroider a new one for her.
On the other side, Tao Tao also got on Lu Qi and Jin Yulu's carriage.
The three of them chatted leisurely.
At first, Tao Tao was a little nervous. After all, one was a princess, the other was a female official, and she was just a country girl.
But later she found that Lu Qi and Jin Yulu did not have that kind of arrogant attitude and were very approachable, so she felt much more relaxed.
Soon, they arrived at the county town.
Lu Li took her father straight to the fake pawnshop.
"I have a painting called 'A Picture of Various Scenes in the Marketplace' by Danmo Jushi that I would like to see as a copy." Lu Yanshi pretended to be an ordinary citizen and wanted to see the painting as a copy.
"No, no, what you have in your hand is fake, we won't accept it." The shop manager waved his hands impatiently.
"How do you know it's fake when you haven't even seen it? It's my heirloom." Lu Yanshi's face darkened.
"Do you still need to look? It's really in our boss's hands. You must have been fooled." The manager laughed and stretched out his hand, signaling them to go back to where they came from.
After all, the boss had already instructed me to take the painting "Various Scenes in the Marketplace", so there was no need to collect it.
"You've been cheated. Your boss stole my painting. If you don't return it today, I will not be polite." Hearing this, Lu Yanshi sneered and waved to the guards behind him.
Dozens of strong men with knives suddenly rushed into the small pawnshop, and the manager was shocked.
"What do you want to do? If you dare to mess around, I will immediately have someone report it to the police."
"Let's talk about this after you get out of the pawnshop. Now, let your boss come out and talk to me. Let me remind you, I don't have much patience." Lu Yanshi spoke expressionlessly.
The shop manager saw that he came with ill intentions and dared not confront him, so he immediately ran to find his boss.
"You brought people here to ask for paintings?" The shop owner Ke Fuan was shocked.
That shouldn't be the case. The painting was so lifelike, how could those country folk from the Tao family see any flaws?
"Boss, what should we do?" The manager was panicking, fearing that the guards' knives would fall on him.
"It doesn't matter. If he wants to see me, then let him see me." Ke Fuan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
Anyway, we are not responsible for anything once it leaves the store.
It was several years later that they finally came to cause trouble, and there was nothing he could do if he didn't admit it.
Thinking of this, Ke Fuan felt much more relieved and asked someone to bring Lu Yanshi and his daughter in.
Seeing the somewhat unfamiliar father and daughter, Ke Fuan frowned.
This is not the Tao family.
"You two look unfamiliar. I remember that you have never worked for me before," Ke Fuan asked tentatively.
Lu Yanshi said calmly, "Five years ago, Tao Muyang brought Danmo Jushi's "A Picture of Various Scenes in the Market" to you to pawn. It was a live pawn. But you swapped his painting. I am here today to get his heirloom back for him."
Tao Muyang is Tao Tao's father.
"Haha, Mr. Tao took the painting back after a few days. I don't have any "Street Scenes" anymore." Ke Fuan denied it.
"Why do you say that I swapped the paintings? Do you have any evidence? If there is no evidence, it is slander. Slandering people will land you in jail. Aren't you afraid?" Ke Fuan tried to scare them off with the law.
"I'm not slandering you, you just did something bad." Lu Li pointed to the locked cabinet behind him.
"The real 'City Life' is hidden by you. It's in the mahogany box on the third floor."
Ke Fuan was shocked when he heard this. How did this little girl know that?
