Your Highness, the princess is going to paint your portrait

Chapter 40 Liar?

As soon as noon came, Jing Chun kept looking for Tang Gu and asked for a list.

Tang Gushang was not reserved, instead he took out a list from his side and said: "This list contains the names, ages, addresses, and marriages of the deceased...but it took me a lot of time to find out. ..."

"Thank you, Master Tang." Jing Chun reached out to get the roster.

But Tang Gushang retracted his hand and Jing Chun missed it.

Jing Chun's hand was hanging in the air, he shrunk his fingers a little awkwardly, and said with a smile: "Master Tang, you don't want to go back on your word, do you?"

But Tang Gushang focused his eyes on Jing Chun's wrist, and said with deep meaning: "The bracelet is pretty good."

Jing Chun clicked, and she wondered how Tang Gushang could talk to Jing Chun in such a pleasant manner this morning. She knew that Tang Gushang, an old fox, agreed to give the list just like that. Jing Chun's jade bracelet.

Jing Chun smiled slightly and said, "This bracelet was given to me by someone else. It's worthless. If it were faked by someone else, wouldn't it be mine?"

Hearing this, Tang Gushang put the list in his hands behind him, put his hands in his arms, and said with a smile, "It's worthless? You really think I'm ignorant, jade is fragile, your bracelet looks ordinary, but But they are of the highest class, and the others you speak of are probably not ordinary people..."

Jing Chun secretly scolded Tang Gushang, this old fox was obviously going after Jing Chun's bracelet, his eyes were fixed, and he was afraid he didn't understand.

How could Jing Chun be willing to exchange the bracelet for the roster, but now that the corpse theft case has come to this point, can he still give up?

Jing Chun put on a smiling face again, and tried to take off the bracelet on his wrist, saying: "This bracelet is like growing on my hand, I really can't take it off..."

But in the next second, the bracelet suddenly fell off his wrist, and Jing Chun was also a little stunned. In the past, he couldn't take it off even if he tried to take it off, but today he took it off with a little force, so why did he take it off?
But it was really helpless, the bracelet was already in Jing Chun's hands, although he was reluctant to give it up, he had no choice but to hand the bracelet to Tang Gushang.

Seeing this, Tang Gushang also took out the roster behind him and pushed it in front of Jing Chun.

The two each took what they wanted.

When Jing Chun saw the bracelet in Tang Gushang's hand, he had a lot of thoughts in his heart. If he only had it before, it would be easy to say, but after all, this thing was given by Jiang Hejin. When he thought of those venomous snake-like eyes, , Jing Chun's heart trembled again, not to mention whether it was intentional or not, it would be uncomfortable to have this matter fall on anyone's head. Isn't this a waste of people?
Jing Chun picked up the roster and took a few steps, but still couldn't bear it, and said: "This bracelet is only for me to hold here, and I will be able to redeem it when the case is over."

Tang Gushang didn't have the patience to listen to Jing Chun's gossip, so he dismissed Jing Chun with a few hums.

Jing Chun also agreed since he was Tang Gushang.

The first step for Jing Chun to get the roster was to exclude. He only checked out some unmarried young men and some unmarried young women, and carefully checked the time of death of the deceased.

Three people were finally identified: Fu Yan, the son of Boss Fu of the pawnshop in the west of the city, Guo Han, the son of Guo Kui in Zhuzhuang in the east of the city, and Pan Rurui, the son of Pan Qi in Waqu Village on the outskirts of the city.

Jing Chun immediately thought of Fu Yan, the son of the owner of the pawnshop in the west of the city, not to mention anything else, at least one must have money to have a ghost marriage.

Jing Chun thought that his female attire must be somewhat conspicuous, so he deliberately borrowed a men's attire from a small official, and found a veiled hat to cover his female face.

Jing Chun didn't hesitate, and went straight to the west of the city to the pawnshop.

It is said that Fu Yan died three days ago and has not been buried yet. The pawnshop in the west of the city is also dead silent, saying that it does not plan to open within a month.

Jing Chun looked through the door of the pawn shop for a long time, but he didn't see anyone coming out, but was suddenly patted on the shoulder again.

Jing Chun was startled, but the other party was a white-faced scholar, and he was only in his early twenties, wearing a green shirt with three bamboo embroidered on the chest, and a bamboo hairpin to fasten his hair On the whole, he looks poor, but his gestures are completely bookish, without a sense of embarrassment.

The man smiled and said: "Girl, the pawn shop is closed these few days, if you are in a hurry to pawn things, you can go to other pawn shops..."

Aunt, girl...

Jing Chun looked puzzled, he had already covered the woman's face, "How do you know I'm a woman?"

The man smiled, but without the slightest hint of frivolity, he said: "The figures of men and women are still somewhat different, and a girl has a good figure, so a discerning person can still tell."

Jing Chun looked himself up and down, indeed in order to prevent the clothes from loosening, Jing Chun tied the belt very tightly, compared to ordinary men, the waist is naturally much thinner.

Hearing this, Jing Chun didn't hide it anymore, and took off the veil on his head with one hand, and asked, "Is it because of Young Master Fu that the door is closed?"

Sean was slightly taken aback, as if he hadn't expected the delicate beauty under the hood.

But soon, Sean came to his senses. He just nodded to Jing Chun's question, giving the answer, and returned to his calligraphy and painting stall.

Jing Chun watched as he caught up and continued to ask: "Sir, even if you know the situation of the pawn shop, can you tell me how the funeral of Young Master Fu will be arranged?"

Xiao En shook his head lightly, and didn't say much. He is a scholar, and he has always disdain to gossip. "There are some things that can't be discussed, let alone funerals. If you want to inquire about things, you may find the wrong person." gone."

Find the wrong person?
This stall is the only one on the whole street that faces the pawn shop in the west of the city. Standing here, you can definitely see the funeral ceremonies clearly. If you face it directly, you will find the wrong person.

Jing Chun saw that the person should not respond, so he asked other questions, but Xiao En didn't say a single person for a long time, always smiling, and tidying up the calligraphy and paintings in front of his booth.

For such an honest and dull scholar, Jing Chun had many options.

Without further ado, Jing Chun took out his token and said, "I'm investigating the case from Jingzhao Prefecture, you'd better tell the truth."

As he said that, Jing Chun took out the portraits of Lao Cheng, Er Nian and Zhu Hong, and asked, "Have you seen these three people?"
Xiao En froze for a moment. It wasn't that Jingzhaofu came to his booth to handle the case, but he didn't expect that there would be a woman in Jingzhaofu to investigate the case. He looked at Jing Chun again and confirmed the token in Jingchun's hand. , stunned for a moment, pursed his lips, and then asked, "Aren't you a liar?"

How can anyone ask if someone is a liar?
Jing Chun looked at this man, who looked completely dumbfounded by reading, and couldn't help feeling a little funny in his heart.

Jing Chun cleared his throat, shook the token in his hand, and replied, "Have you ever seen that liar is a woman? He still has the token of the government in his hand."

Xiao En's eyes flickered a few times, it was clear that he was hesitant to speak, and finally he could only say embarrassingly: "Because she is a woman, I feel, I feel that the girl is a liar."

……

Jing Chun suddenly felt a flock of crows flying over his head.
