Thinking of this, Jian Xiu asked again: "Master, who is this person? Why did he escape?"
"To be honest, this man's name is Liang Lai. Ten years ago, he was suspected of a relatively important case. This case involved too many people and has attracted the attention of the higher-ups. Now, the man in your painting is an important person involved in the entire case. So, Miss Jian, you know that we must arrest this man in a short period of time, otherwise..."
The master didn’t continue with the rest of the conversation.
But even so, Jian Xiu heard from his words how serious the consequences of this matter were.
"What about the case from ten years ago?" Jian Xiu, who had just realized what was happening, asked again as he was preparing to write.
"Yes, 늀놆괗 ten years ago."
"Then the portrait you asked me to draw also looks like what you saw ten years ago?" Jian Xiu asked again.
No wonder she was so surprised.
In fact, if there are no good friends, how can one remember a person's outline for so long?
Listening to Jian Xiu's words, the master naturally knew what she was thinking.
Yu 놆 nodded heavily and said:
"To be honest, this guy escaped from our Quanyong County. I personally fought with him several times, and only then did I remember his appearance."
"Even so, his appearance has been engraved in my mind. If nothing unexpected happens, he may become fatter or thinner, but as you said, his facial features and charm will not change."
After listening to his master's words, Jian Xiu had to admit that what he said made sense.
That is indeed true.
"As you said, he is very likely to gain weight or lose weight. Based on your description, I can draw a few more pictures, such as when he is fat and when he is thin. This way, you can also observe him from many aspects."
Jian Xiu said lightly.
In fact, she also wanted to ask what crime this person had committed.
Why do they take it so seriously?
But come to think of it, there would be no result if she asked about this matter.
Even if there is a result, she can't help.
Even if she took a step back, she didn't want to get involved in it.
When Mo Tianrui on the side heard Jian Xiu's words, he nodded and said, "That's great, that's great!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sketch in Jian Xiu's hand had taken shape.
After sketching a few more lines, a vivid character picture appeared in front of the two people.
"Sir, how is it? Does this painting look like the real thing?" Jian Xiu asked worriedly.
Although she was confident in her portrait, she was still a little nervous without Mo Shanrui's nod.
Ruan Fengsheng, who was standing by, saw Mo Shanrui staring at the portrait without saying a word.
Yu 놆 couldn't help but get anxious, and asked: "Sir, how......"
"Like, like, like, so much like, this person... this person is definitely Liang Lai, hahahaha..."
Mo Shanrui said excitedly after reacting.
"Sir, let me take a look, let me take a look..." Ruan Fengsheng suddenly became anxious.
He was even so anxious that he took the portrait from Mo Shanrui's hand without his consent.
Seeing this, Jian Xiu just raised his eyebrows in understanding and said nothing.
Such a small action is enough to show that Mo Shanrui is a person who does not care about trivial matters.
He can be so tolerant of others, which also means that he is a kind person.
In this case, Jian Xiu was willing to help him.
At least at this stage, if she wants to make more money in Quanyong County, she must have a stable backing.
If this backer could recognize Mo Tianrui in front of him, it would be a great gain for her.
You know, this county magistrate is the most powerful official in all the counties.
In Quanyong County, no matter how big or small the matter is, you should go past him.
Thinking of this, Jian Xiu lowered her head again and began to carefully draw the draft in her hand.
The picture just now was drawn based on Ruan Fengsheng's description, and it can be said that it maintains his appearance when he was neither fat nor thin.
What she wanted to draw now was Liang Lai when he got fatter.
And when you lose weight...
By the time all three portraits were handed over to Mo Tianrui, an hour had passed.
"Very good, very good. This painting is just right. The simple lines and precise depiction perfectly outline the delicateness of Liang Lai. Miss Jian is indeed an extraordinary person."
"Your Excellency the County Magistrate is too kind. Call me Jian Xiuji!"
Having said this, Jian Xiu paused again, worried that what she said seemed too abrupt, and then she spoke again:
"Dean Mo also called Jian Xiu that way."
"Okay, okay, Jian Xiu, Jian Xiu, but then again, have you ever learned your painting skills from the painter in my government office?"
When asking this question, Mo Tianrui himself felt a little embarrassed.
Painting skills like this can definitely be passed down from generation to generation...
"The painter who taught you?" Jian Xiu asked with eyes wide open.
"Yes, I will teach them, but don't worry, our government will not treat you unfairly in terms of money." Mo Tianrui assured quickly.
Having said this, worried that Jian Xiu would not agree, he continued:
"Five...ten taels, as long as you are willing to teach them to draw this sketch, I promise to pay you ten taels, how about that?"
You know, ten taels is already a lot.
Originally, Mo Tianrui only wanted to pay five taels, but thinking about the importance of this painting, he added another five taels.
In fact, if this painting were to really be published, it would be worth far more than ten taels.
It can be said that ten taels of silver was already a big loss for Jian Xiu.
But Mo Tianrui was only a county magistrate, and the government office did not have much official silver.
Normally, the government office could only take one or two taels at most, and he planned to pay the rest out of his own pocket.
He probably understood a little about the situation at Jian Xiu's home.
After thinking for a while, he continued, "Fifteen taels?"
It's not his fault that he is so petty. In fact, he is an honest official who lives on his salary. He is not as rich as others think.
Hearing this, Jian Xiudang shook his head and said:
"Mr. Mo, you are too kind. It is not just the government's responsibility to eliminate harm for the people. As a member of the Dashun Dynasty, I can also contribute my own strength."
Jian Xiu said this very seriously.
She never thought about what kind of reward she would get for this trip.
Of course, she also had her own purpose, she also wanted to maintain a certain relationship with Mo Tianrui.
She also wanted the county magistrate Mo Tianrui to be her backer.
But that is also before it is illegal.
Under normal circumstances, she would not go against her conscience and do something that would harm the world.
