Your Highness, the princess is going to paint your portrait

Chapter 81 Duplicity
When it was some distance away from Jingzhao Mansion, Jing Chun stopped the carriage.

Seeing Jing Chun coming down, Lu Chi asked at the right time: "Princess Wangfei, do I need to wait for you to go back to the residence together?"

In fact, Lu Chi didn't need to ask more about this, but today Qiao Ying was not here, so Lu Chi asked this question.

Jing Chun was concerned about the ostentatious carriage of Prince Li's Mansion, but since he asked, and Jiang Hejin was still there, he couldn't refute his face, so he said: "It's all good, if you are busy, you can go back to the mansion first, if you are not in a hurry, wait a minute." Me too."

After finishing speaking, Jing Chun and Lu Chi bid farewell.

Lu Chi looked at Jing Chunyuan's back, "Your Highness, should we just do nothing?"

"She also said that it's her business, what are we doing?"

Besides, Jiang Hejin never rarely intervenes.

"She is working in Jingzhao Mansion. If anything happens, she is more knowledgeable than us."

When he was approaching Jingzhao Mansion, Jing Chun turned a corner and bought himself a pair of clothes and a pair of shoes.

Song Yiwen is the governor of a prefecture, and his judgment has decades of experience. Even though Jing Chun's face was covered in the carriage just now, the skirt of his lower body and his shoes were not completely covered. However, if Song Yiwen had a heart, Jingchun would definitely be suspected.

The original clothes and shoes can't be kept anymore, changing clothes and shoes is undoubtedly the safest way.

When he arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, Jing Chun didn't go to the prison to find Jing Tongchang immediately, but went to Tang Gushang to ask for clarification.

"It's only been a day, how can you conclude that the murderer has become Jing Daizhao?"

Tang Gushang, however, seemed to have been prepared for it. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time. He calmly took out the confession of the fisherman on the river bank, "Look, it clearly says that I went boating with Mr. Yishu that day." There is indeed one."

"How can you be sure it's Jing Daizhao?"

Even if you are traveling with someone, you cannot easily identify the prisoner as someone traveling with you.

Tang Gushang took out a folding fan and put it on the table, "Does this thing look familiar?"

Seeing that Jing Chun was a little hesitant, Tang Gushang opened the folding fan again, flipped it up and down, pointed to the painting inside and said, "Does this painting look familiar? Don't you even recognize your father's painting? "

After being reminded by Tang Gushang, Jing Chun realized that the painting on the fan was actually painted by Jing Tongchang.

Jing Chun also took a look at it carefully. Jing Tongchang's paintings emphasize line drawing, and the colors are mostly simple and elegant.

Tang Gushang continued: "This fan was left by a fisherman. It was said that there was only one folding fan in the boat when it docked. I thought it was Mr. Yew Shan who forgot to take it with him when he landed. I hope Mr. Yew Shan will leave it in the future." We will exchange it when we come back. Once Mr. Yew Shan died, this fan was left with the fisherman. Lu Yuzuo also checked it out. The wound on Mr. Yew Shan’s forehead matches the shape of this fan, and it is obvious that he was struck by this fan. , this fan is the physical evidence."

"Is this fan ready to be recognized?"

"He admitted the fan, but he didn't admit the crime."

Tang Gushang looked at the fan carefully again, "Your father said that he did go to see Mr. Zishan that night, and this fan was indeed a gift from him. But in the end, Mr. Zishan refused to enter the Hanlin Art Academy. Jing waited for the imperial edict to see that his persuasion was fruitless, and after letting the boat dock, he went back on his own, and the fan was left on the boat. Your father insisted that he and Mr. Yew did not fight, and Mr. Yew left a mark on his forehead. The imprint of it was not done by him."

Jing Chun lowered his eyebrows for a long time, then asked again: "What did Lord Song say?"

Tang Gushang sighed slightly: "Your father is always the official of the imperial court. You still need to consult the emperor to decide this matter, but the current evidence points to your father. It is not easy for your father to escape."

"Master Tang also thinks that this matter was done by Jing Daizhao?"

Tang Gushang avoided it as usual, "This matter has nothing to do with me, and don't try to draw a half-worded judgment from me. I will not judge or speak out. If you need help , I'll see it as a co-worker, but if you go beyond the law, don't blame me for not paying attention to affection."

Those who work in the Jingzhao Mansion are most afraid of losing their sense of propriety. Tang Gushang's words are not only to distance him from Jing Chun, but also to pay attention to the distance between him and Jing Chun.

Jing Chun didn't say much, but quietly bowed his head and thanked Tang Gushang, saying, "Thank you Master Tang for your advice."

Seeing Jing Chun salute, Tang Gushang deliberately turned half of his body, picked up the teacup, and said leisurely: "I can't bear this ceremony."

"I am just Jing Chun, the painter of Jingzhao Prefecture. This is my thanks. How can Master Tang not bear it?"

When Tang Gushang saw Jing Chun leaving, he smiled indifferently and felt a little comforted in his heart. After all, it was a good thing for Jingzhao Mansion that Jing Chun did not confuse his identity.

Jing Chun went all the way to the cell. Normally, Jing Chun had a good relationship with Capt. Li, so he went in after looking for a portrait.

As soon as he entered the cell, he didn't go far and saw Jing Tongchang.

Compared with the glamor of the past, Jing Tongchang's complexion is slightly haggard now, and he is sitting cross-legged on the mat. Fortunately, his clothes are still neat, so he won't lose his face as he is waiting for an edict from the Imperial Academy of Painting.

Jing Tongchang also seemed to notice that someone was coming, and forgot to take a look. Seeing that it was Jing Chun, his eyes suddenly moved, "Why are you here?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Jing Tongchang seemed to think of something again, "I'm confused, you are a painter in Jingzhao Mansion, why can't you come?"

Jing Chun got straight to the point, "I'm here because of Mr. Yishu's affairs. I don't need to say more about his affairs, right?"

"The Qing is self-clearing. I didn't kill Mr. Yew Shan for my father. If I didn't, I didn't."

"But that day, you did invite Mr. Yew to visit the lake in the evening."

"Yes, my father invited Mr. Yew Shan, but I never thought that Mr. Yew Shan would come. I thought it would be a waste of time, but who would have thought that Mr. Yew Shan would actually dock the boat, even Yew Shan The gentleman was a little surprised when he saw me for the first time."

Jing Chun seemed to have sensed something, and asked tentatively, "You mean that Mr. Yeshan didn't plan to wait for you?"

Jing Tongchang was a little confused by Jing Chun's words, "When I invited Mr. Zishan, I should have been waiting for him. How did it turn out that he was waiting for me?"

Jing Chun calmed down again, "Let me ask you first, who arrived first, you or Mr. Yishu?"

"Mr. Yew."

Jing Chun was thoughtful, and said: "That's why Mr. Yew Shan is so surprised when he sees you, because Mr. Yew Shan may not be waiting for you, but someone else, and the person Mr. Yew Shan is waiting for is very Could be the murderer."

Jing Chun continued to ask: "Did Mr. Yishu say who he wanted to wait for?"

Jing Tongchang thought for a long time, but shook his head helplessly.

I'm afraid you have to ask Qingsong Huafang and the fishermen of that day about this matter, after reading this, Jing Chun deliberately planned to take a trip.

"Xiaochun."

Jing Tongchang suddenly stopped Jing Chun, and Jing Chun also suddenly stopped, "What's wrong?"

Jing Tongchang was obviously worried and hesitated to speak: "Don't let my affairs affect the relationship between you and His Royal Highness Prince Li."

Jing Tongchang would naturally think of the relationship between Jiang and Jin. Jiang Hejin was in a high position. Now that he was arrested, Jiang Hejin would inevitably be talked about by others. How could Jiang Hejin be implicated because of his own affairs.

Jing Chun said indifferently: "Don't expect me to ask anyone? He is him, and I am me. You don't need to worry about this."

Although Jing Tongchang was shocked by his impression in Jing Chun's mind and wanted to say something, he finally had to shake his head, "As a father, how can you not worry?"

Jing Tongchang looked at Jing Chun embedded in the light and shadow, and someone's shadow seemed to flash in his mind, "You and your mother are really more and more alike. You were born at the beginning of spring. Your mother originally thought a lot of nice things." name, but in the end I looked at the spring scenery outside the window and gave you the word spring, saying that girls are made of water, and the rain and dew are all spring in the world."

"What do you want to say?"

"Dad, I don't ask you to have much power in your husband's family. I just want you to be as bright and full as spring, and everything can have its own color."

Jing Chun glanced at Jing Tongchang indifferently and said, "If I were you, I would never talk too much."
