Chapter 479
"This is Duke Meiqumei, right?" Xiao Lingjiang looked at him with slightly raised eyebrows.

Mei Qu coughed lightly, and bowed in salute: "It's the old man, Mei Qu has seen Princess Yong'an."

"Don't be too polite, Mr. Mei, sit down quickly." Xiao Lingjiang raised his hand and supported his slightly bent body with his profound strength.

"Thank you, princess." Mei Qu clenched her fists to her lips, coughed again, and then took her seat at the main seat.

Xiao Lingjiang looked at him nonchalantly, Mei Qu is over sixty now, most of the hair on his head is white, and there are many wrinkles on his face, but sitting there, his figure is slender, and he looks like a family.

Maybe it's the severe cold in winter, so he does have a sick look on his face.

Xiao Lingjiang sighed with concern on his face: "It's a pity that Mei Gong is not in Yingdu, otherwise I would not be able to ask Yongmu Huangjie to treat you for a while. She is good at spiritual healing, and I think it can be cured properly for this disease."

Is this to test him on purpose?
Mei Qu smiled and said: "Don't say that you are not in Yingdu now, but you are in Yingdu. This old man's body is just an old problem. There is no need for Princess Yongmu to treat it in person. Princess, can you come to visit the old man?" Two, my entire Mei Manor is already in awe and fear."

"Mr. Mei is too humble." Xiao Lingjiang smiled and picked up the teacup, took a sip before slowly saying, "I came to Mei's house, one is to visit Mei Gong, and the other is to ask about something. "

"Oh?" Mei Qu asked suspiciously, "I don't know if the princess has anything to ask, but everyone in the Mei family will know everything."

Xiao Lingjiang smiled when she heard the words, she put down the teacup and said: "I came to Chizhou this time to find someone. As I guessed right, this person must be from a wealthy family, so today I came to bother you because I wanted to borrow Take this opportunity to ask everyone in the mansion if they have seen this person."

After finishing speaking, she slightly raised her hand to signal, and He Zheng on the side took a few steps forward, stood in the middle of the hall, unfolded the scroll in her hand, and faced everyone.

I saw that the picture scroll was about four feet high, and there was a woman in plain clothes painted on it, about the age of Huaxin, with a graceful figure and a face like a lotus, burning bright and beautiful.

Everyone couldn't help being stunned, what is Princess Yong'an doing?

Xiao Lingjiang scrutinized the expressions of everyone in the hall, Mei Qu and Mei Qing didn't raise their brows, and the rest of the people looked amazed.

It seems that the identity of the person in the painting does not seem to be known.

Xiao Lingjiang pointed to the human being in the painting and said: "I met this woman by chance when I was handling the case, but I lost her trace later on. I heard from her that she was from Chizhou. Now I want to find this person for some reason. I don't know. Do any of you know each other?"

Everyone in the hall shook their heads.

This little lady is extremely beautiful, if they have seen it, they will be impressed.

Mei Qu and his son also didn't know what they looked like, but they couldn't help being surprised. When did Xiao Lingjiang meet Cen Niang and even draw her face?
When Cen Niang was still there, Xiao Lingjiang was supposed to be in Linchuan at that time, and she was just a girl from the family who had never reached the age and had no reputation, right?
When did the two meet?Or, in fact, he obtained Cen Niang's portrait from someone else, and Xiao Lingjiang just used it to test them on purpose?

But even if it was drawn by others, it shouldn't be...

Cen Niang had never been in the Mei Mansion, after she was taken back to Chizhou by Mei Qu, she was first trapped in a small courtyard, and then gradually developed her skills, she also followed the Jingu more often, keeping a low profile.

Except for Mei Qu and Mei Qing, no one in the Mei family has ever seen her, let alone know that she is a daughter of the Mei family.

Could it be that this portrait is from the man of the shrine?Did she capture someone and pry something out of their mouths?
But there are not many people in the shrine who have seen Cen Niang's true face...

Mei Qu's heart turned sharply, but it didn't show at all on the surface.

He suppressed the surprise in his heart, then thought, so what if Xiao Lingjiang took out the portrait?Cen Niang has passed away, even if she has suspicions in her heart, she has no way to connect the Mei family with Cen Niang and the Jingu.

She is not directly attacking Mei Shi now, which means that she has not found any tangible evidence that Mei Shi has a relationship with Jingu.

She came to the door today with this portrait, just to test him on purpose, to see if the Mei family would show any flaws, right?
snort!
The Mei family didn't move, she couldn't sit still.

Mei Qu was sure, looked at the expressions of the people in the hall, and said: "The princess is disappointed, the people in the house don't know this girl. The princess must go to the side to ask."

Xiao Lingjiang sighed and shook his head: "It's okay, it's not easy to find someone in the huge Chizhou. But there is always a way, since you don't know, I will ask others later."

During her trip, she did not intend to find someone who knew the person in the painting just like this.

After all, the subordinates have already searched around the Chizhou family with this picture scroll. Not only that, but also the Mei family who married a girl next to him also took the opportunity to inquire, but they still didn't get any useful information.

She came here just to see Mei Qu, and to see if she could try something out.

Knowing the purpose of her trip, Mrs. Mei has been too quiet recently, and there is some deadly plot behind this quietness.

She has pointed her sword at Yongmu, Mei Shi and Jingong, how can they sit still and let her do what they want?

Behind the ultimate silence, there are often even more frightening stormy waves.

Xiao Lingjiang's eyes darkened slightly, and he chatted with the members of the Mei family for a while, and then he left the Mei residence under the watchful eyes of everyone.

She got into the carriage, lifted the curtain and ordered: "Go find some painters, make more copies of this painting, and post it all over Chizhou."

After a pause, she said again: "Especially around the Mei Mansion, post a few more."

When she sent someone to look for the person in the painting, she did it in private. She was not sure about Yongmu's real identity and didn't want to startle the scene too early, so naturally she didn't publicize it.

Now that everyone has come to Chizhou, and she and Yongmu have tacit understanding with each other, it is natural to find out how lively this matter is.

If he could find someone who had seen her by chance, he would naturally get more clues. Even if he couldn't find her, he could still be called Mei Quge, right?

Not only did He Zheng act according to his words, he offered a huge reward, and even found storytellers in teahouses to help find the person.

But within two days, everyone in Chizhou knew that Princess Yong'an came to Chizhou to find a beautiful girl, saying that she had an old relationship with her.

As for the old method, Princess Yong'an never mentioned it.

The aristocratic families and common people in Chizhou became interested in the life in the painting, and talked more and more about it.What's more, that was a great reward, and everyone racked their brains to recall whether they had ever seen such a lady.

It was another sunny day, Xiao Lingjiang invited the Chizhou family to drink tea, she went out of the governor's mansion and wanted to lift her skirt to get into the car, when she heard a hoarse and rough voice.

"Princess Yong'an!"

Xiao Lingjiang turned his head to look, and saw an old woman in shabby clothes, with a cloth towel covering most of her face, standing hunched aside.
