Chapter five hundred and seventieth three concubines
"But we need to think clearly about what she wants to hide. If it has anything to do with Li Xiude, then what is it? We can only find answers to these things from inside her house, but I think you should do it yourself
Be better, I'm afraid something might happen to others." Grandma reminded.
"What happened after Ah Fu left? No one came in, right?"
"I knew you would care about this kind of thing. I'm just watching here. No one has gone in." The grandmother said very confidently.
"I see. It seems that I have a lot of work tonight. When I was young, I also learned how to make a masterpiece. I wonder if my skills are unfamiliar now." Li Zongyuan said and walked into the east wing.
The east wing is not big and is divided into two sections. One half is the bedroom and study room, and the other half is where the third concubine does her work.
It can be seen that before she died, Mrs. Wei had tidied her house and arranged her things in an orderly manner. It looked like she really committed suicide, and she had made all psychological preparations.
Judging from the marks left when the rope strangled her neck, the third aunt did not struggle too much and committed a very peaceful suicide.
However, there is a bucket next to the table. There is some waste in the bucket. Among it, you can clearly see some ashes and unburned paper, with the word "death" written on it in a trance.
Li Zongyuan sighed, knowing that he couldn't find any useful information here. He glanced out the window and saw that it was already time to show his teeth. He knew that Li Xiushan had already gone to work with the plan he had given.
At noon, more than half of Qianxi City's economy will fall into the hands of the Li family.
Turning his head and looking behind the table, he saw a painting hanging on the wall. There was a fire phoenix on the painting. Li Zongyuan had no impression of this painting. He did not remember that the Wei family had such a painting, and no one had given it to him.
Pass this painting.
However, it seems that the painter is still very good. The feathers are outlined in extremely fine detail, as if someone was copying the fire phoenix. Even the arrogant expression is painted vividly.
It's just that the aura in the painting is very feminine, not very strong or yang.
The painting is signed "Qingfengshan Xiao He Painting"
The old man of Qingfeng Mountain knows very well that to the south of Qianxi City is the famous Bandit Mountain. However, it has become much depressed in the past two years. It no longer has the momentum of the past that no matter who passes by Qingfeng Mountain dares to rob it.
And this Xiao He is the new leader of Qingfeng Mountain. Although his ability is not particularly outstanding, he is very good at drawing and calligraphy with one hand. He can be regarded as the best in Qianxi City. Even Li Zongyuan himself cannot compare with him.
But why did his painting appear in the third concubine's house? This is very strange.
After looking at the whole room, Li Zongyuan began to examine Wei's body again. The clothes were still the same, almost never changed, except that the waistband was replaced by a piece of silk embroidered with a golden phoenix.
Li Zongyuan didn't care too much. In contrast, he cared more about the painting hanging on the wall, because besides that, the appearance of this phoenix was very similar to the fire phoenix on the painting, which we couldn't help but doubt.
"Tsk..." Li Zongyuan couldn't help but scratch his head, this matter was very strange, "Grandma, it seems that you are going to take action this time."
"What's wrong? Isn't this going to work? Haven't you always said that you are the smartest person in Qianxi City? Now is there a time when it doesn't work?" the eldest grandma asked with a smile.
"You have to help me go to Qingfeng Mountain. If I'm not wrong, I need to go there to unravel the weirdness here. You don't need to go deep to see if there are any paintings with phoenixes in the front and back of the main hall, or
It's a carving, if you have it, bring it over, I'm afraid you can find a flaw in it." Li Zongyuan said thoughtfully.
"Okay then, I'll go there tonight, but their boss..."
"I'll take care of this matter."
As he spoke, he returned to the main hall and told Ah Fu: "Send an invitation to Xiao He from Qingfeng Mountain, saying that I have something I want to discuss with him. I must come to the Li Mansion tonight, so go."
"Yes." Ah Fu agreed and headed to Qingfeng Mountain.
Brief summary of the book: After a whole day, a servant came to report outside the door, saying that Xiao He from Qingfeng Mountain had come with an invitation.
Li Zongyuan nodded, went out to greet him, and glanced at him. He didn't look like a gangster, but like a scholar. He was wearing a blue coat, with a length of silk embroidered with a golden dragon tied around his waist. He was wearing black clothes at his feet.
Fabric shoes.
He nodded, led him all the way to the living room, ordered people to make tea and pour water, and put out a good banquet. It was said to be a discussion, but in fact it was just delaying time.
After three drinks and five dishes, there was suddenly a sound of wind outside the door. Li Zongyuan cupped his fists and cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me for a while."
He turned around and walked towards the backyard. Before he could reach the backyard, an old woman stood in front of him, took out a painting and said, "This is it. I have been looking for this painting for a long time."
"
This painting is very long. On the left side of the painting is a dragon and a phoenix, and on the right side is a unicorn mythical beast with wings.
The dragon and phoenix are just going up and down, the unicorn is at the bottom right, and in the middle is the cursive script of dragons and phoenixes dancing, which looks like a poem.
Li Zongyuan took a breath, put away the painting, and returned to the main hall. He whispered a few words to Ah Fu, who then exited the main hall.
"Brother Li, although I don't know what you want to discuss with me, but if it's inconvenient now, I'd better come another day. Will it delay you?" Xiao He's feeling was very keen, and he immediately realized
I sensed that something wasn't quite right.
"Don't worry, the leader of the village, please sit down first and be patient. If it's convenient for you, please lend me your belt. I'll show you something."
"Why do you need a belt?"
"You'll know it when you see it."
While talking, Afu walked into the main hall holding a piece of silk embroidered with unicorn wings and handed it to Li Zongyuan.
Seeing the silk, Li Zongyuan sighed and said, "You'd better bring it over. I just want to prove something. Ah Fu, let them bring a long table."
Ah Fu agreed and went to give instructions to his servants. Xiao He had no choice but to hand the silk embroidered with a golden dragon on his waist to Li Zongyuan.
At this time, the long table had been moved in by the servants. Li Zongyuan sighed and said: "I think the village master should be familiar with this painting, right?"
As he spoke, Li Zongyuan unfolded the scroll with calligraphy and paintings.
