Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 93 Portrait of the Prince
Prince Wang carefully described Li Chengqian's appearance to the painter. After several revisions, the portrait of Li Chengqian was basically exactly the same as himself.

It's just that the eyes are dull and a little less colorful, these are not important things to the prince.

The purpose of drawing portraits is to be able to arrest criminals and post them, so that more people can distinguish the appearance of criminals, which is conducive to the arrest of the government.

It's not for art, for appreciation or collection. It doesn't matter whether the portrait has a demeanor or not.

Different uses of paintings have different natural meanings.

Wang Gongzi took the portrait from the painter, looked at the lifelike portrait of Li Chengqian, and said with a smile: "That's right! It's this guy who ordered his companions to kill me."

Inspector Wang took a step forward and looked at the portrait in Prince Wang's hand. He wanted to see what a daring pariah looked like, and dared not to take his son in the eyes of Inspector Wang.

Wang Cishi's eyes fell on the portrait, and he was startled for a moment. Suddenly, his eyes widened and his face changed drastically.

The portrait in the hands of Prince Wang made Governor Wang feel a chill run down his spine, and a sense of fear came to his face.

His mind was blank, and a sentence echoed in his heart, how could it be him?
He has already recognized that the one painted on the portrait is Li Chengqian, the prince of the supervisory country.

During the Grand Court Meeting on New Year's Day, he also saw this prince who had a leg problem.

At that time, Li Chengqian was ordered by the emperor to extend friendly condolences to all the governors who went to the capital to congratulate him, and sent care to the governors on behalf of the emperor.

"Aye! You must arrest all these untouchables for me. I will slowly torture them and make their lives worse than death." The prince said angrily.

I didn't see the drastic change in Wang Cishi's face and the panic in his eyes.

"Yes, my lord, you must make the decision for Gouer, and you must not let outsiders bully you for nothing." Mrs. Wang, who was silent at the side, also came to help at this time.

At this time, Wang Cishi was suffering in his heart! The person on the portrait is the prince!The future heirs of the empire, how can they be able to move, dare to do something to the crown prince, they are simply tired of life, and don't want to live anymore.

How did the mother and son know that Governor Wang's current difficulties were only urging him to bring the murderer who beat their son to justice as soon as possible.

Wang Cishi thought about it, and decided to go back and discuss it with the assistant officer. This matter is a big one, and he can't decide it alone.

Inspector Wang brought the portrait over and rushed out the door without saying a word, leading the painter.

"Aye! Grab that soul, don't forget to give it to me, I will torture him so hard that he would die of pain." Wang Gongzi shouted at the governor Wang from behind.

Hearing this, Inspector Wang staggered and almost fell down. Fortunately, the painter had sharp eyesight and quick hands and supported Inspector Wang, so that Inspector Wang didn't make a fool of himself in public.

The painter was puzzled, and didn't know what happened to Wang Cishi. When he helped Wang Cishi just now, he obviously felt trembling from the other party's body. It was trembling caused by fear.

The painter couldn't figure it out, but he didn't talk too much to ask the governor Wang why.

"Come here!" Wang Cishi returned to the Yamen and greeted him immediately.

"What is the order of the governor?" The yamen servant saluted.

"Go and call me Zhao Biejia, Ma Changshi, and Zhou Sima. I have something important to discuss with them." Wang Cishi said.

"No!" The yamen servant took the order and left.

The above-mentioned three official positions are the assistant officials of a prefectural governor. According to the Tang system, when the governor is vacant or the prince is concurrently in charge, the assistant can perform state affairs on his behalf.

Under normal circumstances, Shangzuo has no actual position, because of his high character and generous salary, and his lack of closeness to practical affairs, most of them are used by the imperial court to treat the clan preferentially or arrange idle officials.

To put it bluntly, they are officials who only receive salaries and do not need to work. Later, Bai Juyi called this kind of official position "sending old officials".

Bai Juyi's words are quite appropriate.

In most cases, the Shangzuo acts as a consultant and think tank for the governor, and is responsible for answering the questions that the governor asks.

After a stick of incense.

Three Shang Zuoguan appeared in front of Wang Cishi.

"I have met the governor of the king!" The three saluted the governor of the king.

"The three of you don't need to be formal! Please sit down!" Inspector Wang made a gesture of invitation.

"I don't know that the governor is so eager to call the three of me here, but what's the important thing to discuss?"

The three of them sat down, and Ma Changshi, who was in his sixties, was the first to speak. His black hair was mixed with some white hair, and his temples were grizzled.

"There is indeed a difficult matter right now, and I don't know how to deal with it, so I invite the three of you to come over and discuss it." Wang Shishi said.

The three of them were stunned. With their assistance, all affairs in Fangzhou have been properly arranged, and there shouldn't be any troublesome things.

But he was clear about the character of Inspector Wang, and judging from his expression, he didn't seem to be lying. Even if something important happened, Inspector Wang usually only asked one of them to ask.

Xiang now called the three of them together to inquire, but it was very rare. It seems that Wang Cishi really encountered a difficult matter, but what could it be?The three of them had doubts in their hearts.

"I don't know what troublesome matter Wang Cishi has. Please tell Wang Cishi the truth so that the three of us can prescribe the right medicine." Zhou Sima said, he is the youngest of the three, and he is only fifty years old this year.

"Have the three met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Wang Inspector asked.

"I used to be an official in Chang'an, and I have met His Highness the Crown Prince! It's just that I have been away from Chang'an for five or six years." Ma Changshi said.

"Zhao Biejia and I have also been to Chang'an Chaoji, but we have never met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Why did Wang Shishi ask the Crown Prince? Could it be related to the Crown Prince?" Zhou Sima asked in surprise.

Inspector Wang nodded and said: "This matter is not only related to the prince, but also related to the dog. I am now in a state of confusion, so I have no choice but to invite the three of you over."

The three of Zhao Biejia were shocked when they heard the words!They were puzzled, but felt that this matter might be more serious than they imagined.

"Inspector Wang, please tell me directly, since this matter is related to the prince, how can it be related to the son." Ma Changshi said, he really couldn't understand why two people who had nothing to do with each other got in touch with each other.

They didn't know that Li Chengqian left Chang'an long ago and came to Fangzhou for inspection.

"The thing is like this..." Wang Cishi told the three of them how his son Wang Gou and the crown prince Li Chengqian met on the street and how friction occurred.

All these were told by Wang Gou and his servants himself, he didn't dare to hide anything, and told them the facts in detail.

The three of them were dumbfounded after hearing this, and let them think about it, but they didn't expect it to be like this.

Prince, where is this playing!If you don't stay in Chang'an well, you have to run out to visit privately.
