Liaozhai: A Poor Monk Transcends to Immortal

Chapter 78
"My dear brother, no matter what you say, as long as you can do it for me, I will never refuse." Putting the scroll away, Wang Tingxu laughed.

"To be fair, Brother Wang, I have something to ask the Lord for help, and I hope that Brother Wang will recommend him."

Recommend the prince?

Wang Tingxu glanced at the painting in his hand, thought to himself for a moment, and finally nodded with a smile: "That's okay, it's just that the Lord has been busy with affairs these past two days. I wonder what will happen in three days?"

"Three days later, this painting will also be returned to me."

"So, thank you very much, Brother Wang."

"My dear brother, you don't have to be like this. It's just this painting that gives me a huge advantage."

The two of them chatted for a moment, then said goodbye and left.

After leaving the palace, Zhu Yan frowned, then shook his head, hoping that this matter had nothing to do with Brother Wang.

When he saw the painting, he noticed some subtle expressions of Wang Tingxu, surprise, doubt, and a bit of disbelief and joy, all of which meant that Wang Tingxu was very likely to be acquainted with the person in the painting. They are all hidden, why is this?
Thinking of Xu Zisu's words, I can only wait for the good news,

Three days later, we will see the result.

After Zhu Yan and his party left, Wang Tingxu opened the scroll again and rubbed it with a trace of madness on his face.

"Lin'er, I didn't expect that you would finally be back in my hands."

Then, he walked into the side room, stirred the porcelain bottle, and a secret room door slowly opened. Walking down the dim steps, it suddenly became clear that several huge luminous pearls illuminated the entire secret room brightly, and lifelike paintings filled the secret room. As many as dozens of pairs.

Moreover, every one of them looks like a strange woman who is shy of the moon and the beauty of the moon.

He spread the painting on the desk, took down a brocade box from the shelf, opened the brocade box, and found several dark blocks inside. Wang Tingxu took out one piece from it and placed the rest again.

Then he took out a dark block and placed it in the incense burner, took out the fire stick and lit it.

A wisp of smoke slowly rose from the incense burner. Wang Tingxu's bloodshot eyes looked towards the painting, and he saw a beautiful figure slowly walking out of the painting.

······
After three days,
At the palace, Xu Zisu and three others arrived as promised.

"My dear brother, this painting has been returned to me as promised. My dear brother, you can check it out and see that it is not damaged at all."

Zhu Yan unfolded the scroll, looked at it, and narrowed his eyes slightly. Fortunately, he lowered his head, but Wang Tingxu didn't notice.

After a moment, he raised his head and smiled slightly: "Brother Wang, don't you know about visiting the Lord?"

"This is my brother's identity card. I can hold this card when I enter the government office. I'm sure the government won't embarrass my brother."

Zhu Yan stepped forward to take it: "Thank you so much, Brother Wang."

"Brother, you don't have to be polite."

Then the three of them said goodbye and left. Looking at the backs of Zhu Yan and the others, Wang Tingxu's lips slightly raised. Zhu Yan was considered a lucky star and actually brought back Lin'er's paintings for him.

After leaving the palace, Zhu Yan sighed leisurely and handed the painting to Xu Zisu.

"What the young master expected is indeed true."

A flash of surprise flashed in Zhu Jiusheng's eyes: "Master, is it possible that this painting is possible~?"

Zhu Yan sighed secretly: "It's fake."

Although it is the same as the previous one, even the painting skills are not bad at all, it is still lifelike, and even the materials are perfect, but there is only one thing overlooked. The old painting is dull, while the new painting is not bright due to ink stains. few.

Although he is not a painter, he can still distinguish this with common sense.

Brother Wang completely regarded him as an outsider. Perhaps in his mind, the two paintings were exactly the same, so he couldn't tell whether they were genuine or not. After all, they were both authentic.

Zhu Yan thought about it in his mind for a long time, then leaned over and saluted Xu Zisu: "Little master, it was the young man who was reckless earlier. I hope the little master will not blame you."

Xu Zisu took the painting without opening it, and then said with a smile: "As long as the donor can see it clearly."

"Knowing people, knowing their faces, but not knowing their hearts, the fate is so painful."

He had such trust in Wang Tingxu, a painter from Ningzhou, that he never thought that he would be educated personally.

There was silence along the way, and it seemed that they were still investigating the reason. "Here we are, young master, little master, someone is going to call the door."

As he spoke, Zhu Jiusheng stepped forward and knocked on the door of the government office. Of course, it was not the main door, but the side door. After all, the main door was the front door of the government office. Anyone who opened the door without important matters would be punished by whipping.

Soon, a boy opened the door.

"Several, but something is wrong?"

"We would like to meet the Lord Fu, but I hope you can be accommodating."

"Do you have a greeting card? Can you make an appointment in advance?"

"No, but I came here on the recommendation of Wang Tingxu and Wang Sheng. He said that he took out a jade plaque."

The young man took the jade token and looked at it: "Everyone, wait a moment. I'll go and report it."

After a while, the boy came back with the jade token again and handed it back.

"Several, please come with the younger ones."

After entering the mansion, they entered the side hall under the leadership of the servant. Due to their status, they were not yet qualified to enter the main hall.

"You guys will wait here for a moment. After the master has finished handling the important matters, he will come here to see you, then turn around and leave."

"This prince is so stingy that he didn't even prepare some tea." Zhu Jiusheng couldn't help but complain.

Zhu Yan frowned slightly: "Don't talk nonsense, it's not easy for Mr. Fujun to receive us."

"Yes, sir."

After about half an hour, an old man in brocade clothes arrived belatedly.

The three stood up.

"Student Zhu Yan has met Lord Fu."

Xu Zisu bowed silently.

The old man looked at the three of them expressionlessly: "If you have any questions, just tell me, I am busy with work and don't have much time."

"Your Majesty, Lord Qi, we would like to check the file of the missing woman."

The old man raised his brows slightly, but an unusual smile appeared on his calm face: "What is your identity? Do you have an official status?"

"Students do not have official positions, they are just candidates from Ningzhou Prefecture."

"You don't even have an official status, why do you want to check the files?"

"Xiaosheng may have some clues about this case."

"Haha, if everyone in Ningzhou Prefecture came to tell them that they had clues to the case, wouldn't I have to let them have a look at the files?"

"Since this is your first offence, I will not pursue this matter. Please stand down."

Zhu Yan nodded with a wry smile: "Thank you, sir, for your kindness."

I should have thought that I and others are just ordinary people, and even if they meet Fu Jun, this will probably be the result.

In this case, what should we do?

Zhu Yan frowned and thought to himself.

Just as the three of them stepped out of the door, Xu Zisu's steps froze: "Donor, are you really not accommodating?"

The old man said coldly: "Huh, I hate monks the most. If it weren't for Ting Xu's sake, I would have kicked you out long ago and you are still talking nonsense here."

"The donor is good to do it for himself."

With his official luck cut off and his luck gone, this Ningzhou government feudal official probably won't be in office for long.
