The concubine wants to farm: the alluring wife raises the emperor

Chapter 280 The Flaw in the Portrait

Xu Yuan went to Buzhuang and asked Mo Chou to find an excuse to ask Shang Shu's daughter out again, and she hid behind her back to see what Shang Shu's daughter looked like.

It was not convenient for Mo Chou to show up, so the last thing Shang Shu's daughter saw was the treasurer of the cloth village.

Xu Yuan hid behind the screen and observed the person in front of her with Mo Chou.

When this living person appeared in front of her eyes, Xu Yuan realized that the feeling was completely different from the one in the portrait.

The artist may have beautified the girl when he was painting, causing some edges and corners to be completely hidden, losing her original appearance, and causing Xu Yuan to make a mistake in her judgment.

The shopkeeper's monk Shu's daughter spent a long time circling outside, but in the end she didn't say anything important.

Xu Yuan confirmed the final style inside, and asked someone to tell the shopkeeper that Shang Shu's daughter could leave.

She also seemed to be irritated by the shopkeeper, and she was talking nonsense for a long time without mentioning any important points.

Xu Yuan quickly asked Li Yin to make a drawing of a pair of clothes again, and sent it to He Qian for reprocessing.

Mo Chou watched Xu Yuan come out of the room with a guilty conscience, the daughter of Shang Shu had already left.

"How did you make this portrait?" Xu Yuan frowned and asked, the difference was too great.

"It was delivered directly by Shangshu's daughter. If her painter painted it well, I wouldn't ask my family to paint it again."

"No wonder there is such a big difference in style. The artist made a lot of changes to please her." Xu Yuan twitched her lips, "Don't make such mistakes next time."

If Mochou hadn't repeatedly asked her to meet the person in the end before making any plans, this might be the first bad deal in Buzhuang.

"Well, I let you see her because I know the gap is too big." Mo Chou was very embarrassed, she didn't expect that the portrait would interfere with Xu Yuan's judgment so much.

Xu Yuan sighed: "You are still smart, otherwise this final ending would not be too happy."

According to her temperament, if there is not a mistake in the process, then she will definitely not redesign it again.

"I just thought temporarily, might this affect your judgment."

"Forget it, the design this time is not too complicated. He Qian and the others estimate that they can make it in three or four days, and there is still time." She walked out, "You should take a good look at this cloth shop, I will go The grain shop is gone."

She took Li Yin to the grain shop, not knowing if Chen Yan had bought the warehouse she was looking at yesterday.

When I went to the grain store, the business was booming. Chunsu hadn't opened a store for several days, and most people were waiting for Chunsu's grain, so when the store opened, it attracted many people.

Business has been going well for several days in a row. When the two of them passed by, there was still a long queue outside.

Xu Yuan walked in from behind, looking for Chen Fan.

Chen Yan was watching the newly recruited accountant keep the accounts. Because he trained several people at the same time, he could see that several accountants were writing these things quickly as soon as he came in.

Xu Yuan stepped forward and patted Chen Fan lightly, and he turned his head: "Yuanyuan, why are you here?"

She beckoned Chen Yan to come out, not wanting to disturb the accountants inside to settle accounts.

"Did you take down that warehouse yesterday?"

"Someone has been sent to clean it now." Chen Yan stood still with her in the courtyard, and Li Yin followed Xu Yuan as usual, without saying a word.

"How long will it take? I want to discuss with my friend to see when he can come and help us process the grain."

"It will take two or three days. The warehouse has been abandoned for a long time. I hired ten people to clean it. It should be faster."

"Okay, after cleaning, you can transport these grains into the warehouse and store them, and my friend's people will come and pull them." This is what she planned to say, pretending that there is a middleman in the middle to process the grains, but in fact she is alone arrange.

Chen Fan nodded: "I know, I'll tell you when the food comes in."

Xu Yuan raised her eyebrows: "What happened to Fangfu?"

"Master Qian already arrested that servant last night, but Fang Shunsheng refused to admit it, and that servant has not spoken yet."

"Then I'll go to the Yamen to have a look now." She stepped up and was about to rush to the next location.

She has been running around for the past few days, and her daily exercise is almost comparable to that of the previous month.

Xu Yuan wanted to know what was going on there, so she hurried over there, and when she arrived, Master Qian was interrogating prisoners in the prison.

That servant was arrested last night, and he is still very sober.

Master Qian was personally interrogated in the prison, and he was not the kind of person who knew how to use torture. The yamen guards didn't dare to use torture casually seeing him, so the current situation was so rigid.

Xu Yuan was led in by the yamen servant, and looked at the scene inside.

The servant was tied to a cross, with his feet hanging in the air, completely relying on the support of the frame.

Master Qian was sitting on the chair opposite him, looking at his expression as if he couldn't bear to watch such a scene.

"How is it? How is Master Qian's interrogation going?" She stepped forward and stood by Master Qian's side. She didn't bring Li Yin in, and she didn't want him to see such a scene.

"This man just refuses to speak. My master is unwilling to use torture. Now there is no other way." The yamen servant looked helpless.

Master Qian lowered his eyes, looking very speechless, he couldn't understand what happened to the bloody scene.

"Master Qian, how can the prisoner be interrogated without instruments of torture?" Xu Yuan pinched the leather whip on one side, "Why don't I hold the interrogation here, Master Qian, can you go and rest for a while? You must be tired after so long interrogation." .”

Master Qian looked up at Xu Yuan hesitantly. This girl didn't look like a cruel person, how could she speak such words so naturally.

"you can?"

"Of course." Xu Yuan handed the whip in her hand to the yamen servant, "Slap ten whips first, and see if he opens his mouth."

When the servant heard this, he immediately raised his eyes to Xu Yuan, his eyes were full of resentment.

"What are you looking at? When you poisoned someone yourself, didn't you think that the person you killed would look at you like this?" She stared back, showing no sign of being frightened at all.

Master Qian stood up: "Wait, then you wait here for the interrogation first, and I'll go outside to rest for a while."

He also knew that this kind of prisoner would have to be tortured, but he just couldn't be cruel.

"Go slowly." Xu Yuan watched him walk away, and sat down in the seat where he was just now, "Let's get started."

The yamen servant held the whip in his hand, hesitantly said: "Ten whips?"

"Well... try a few hits first." She just wanted to see where the servant's bottom line was. If he was really weak, then these few whips would be enough.

The yamen servants worked hard. They used to beat hundreds of thousands of whips, so they didn't use enough strength.

This time Xu Yuan only asked him to hit him with ten whips. He was afraid that it would not work, so he used the greatest strength, and he could see the flesh cracking every time.

Xu Yuan felt her scalp tingle when she heard this voice.
