Chapter 315 Pretending
Yun Fuling still remembered that Xiao Jingyi asked her to paint her portrait.
After meeting Xiao Jingyi, the two went to the prison where the owner and his employees of Jinyulou were imprisoned.
When talking about the distinguished guests who lived on the third floor of Jinyulou, the owner and the waiters of Jinyulou were naturally impressed.
Not everyone is qualified to go to the third floor of Jinyu Building.
This is a gimmick that Jinyulou has thrown out to the outside world, and it is also a means to attract customers and make money.
Being able to go to the third floor of Jinyulou to gamble means that one has extraordinary wealth and gambling skills.
But Mr. Wen and his group were led by Wen Zhao himself.
Since Wen Zhiheng was bedridden, the power of the entire Wen family fell into the hands of Wen Zhao.
Wen Zhao and his people stayed on the third floor of Jinyu Tower, and ordered them to serve Mr. Wen and his party well. Naturally, everyone in Jinyu Tower did not dare to disobey.
No matter whether it was the owner or the clerk of Jinyulou, they were all imprisoned in the prison and were in a state of constant fear.
Seeing Xiao Jingyi coming to interrogate, these people rushed to tell everything they knew in order to prove their innocence and get out of prison as soon as possible.
When Xiao Jingyi asked about the distinguished guest living on the third floor of Jinyu Tower, he confessed everything like beans spilling out of a bamboo tube.
Although the leader wore a mask all day long and his true face could not be seen, during the time he stayed in Jinyulou, the waiters had to deliver meals and hot water every day, so some contact was inevitable.
Although I have never seen the man's face, I remember some of his other features.
Such as being seven feet tall, thin, and having a crescent-shaped scar on the back of his right hand.
Moreover, the leader was wearing a mask, but the men under him were not.
Therefore, the owner and the employees of Jinyulou still remember the appearance of those people clearly.
Yun Fuling held a charcoal pencil in her hand, and with the description of the owner and the employees of Jinyulou, one portrait after another came to life on the paper.
After Yun Fuling finished the painting, Xiao Jingyi showed it to the owner and the employees of Jinyulou.
"Is it them?"
The shopkeeper and the employees of Jinyulou exclaimed in amazement at the lifelike portrait.
“This painting is so realistic!”
"Yes, that's them!"
Xiao Jingyi asked Yun Fuling to draw a few more pictures, and then had people compare the pictures and search the whole city.
With these portraits, as long as the people are still in Jinzhou City, it is only a matter of time to catch them.
At the same time, in a private house in the north of the city, the owner and his family fell in a pool of blood.
The male host, who was in his thirties, had his eyes wide open, as if he died with his eyes open.
His wife was lying not far from him, with an expression of pleading and fear still frozen on her face.
The two children that the couple was protecting had already passed away.
The boy looked about seven or eight years old, and the little girl was less than five years old.
The whole family died in unison.
Mr. Wen's face was stern. Without his instructions, his subordinates put away the bloody swords and quickly dragged the body away to deal with it.
After they escaped from Jinyu Tower, they found that the city gates were closed and they could not leave the city for a while. They had no choice but to find a place to stay temporarily.
After some inquiries, I found out that the family was simple in population and had a nice house, so it looked like a well-off small family.
Mr. Wen then ordered the whole family to be killed and occupied the house as their home.
With a temporary hiding place, Mr. Wen began to think about his future plans.
After leaving Jinyu Tower, he immediately took people to the Wen family mansion.
However, the Wen family mansion was surrounded by officers and soldiers.
The military force there is even greater than that of Jinyu Tower.
Mr. Wen had no choice but to pretend to be passing by and quickly took his people away.
When leaving Jinyu Tower, Mr. Wen took off his mask.
Walking on the street with a mask on would actually attract attention.
After taking off the mask, his appearance was not particularly outstanding and he was barely noticeable in the crowd.
Mr. Wen felt extremely depressed when he thought about how his plan had failed and how he was being chased by Xiao Jingyi like a stray dog, and how the Moon Clan's young master was now unknown whether he was alive or dead.
It's Xiao Jingyi's fault again!
Mr. Wen felt that Xiao Jingyi was born to be his nemesis.
He plotted against Xiao Jingyi several times, but he escaped every time.
And whenever he wanted to do something to stir up trouble in Daqi, it would always be ruined by Xiao Jingyi.
When Mr. Wen thought of Xiao Jingyi at this moment, he felt so angry that his teeth itched.
At this moment, he has no ability to fight back.
just wait.
When he returns to the capital, he can use the power of the third prince to severely punish Xiao Jingyi!
Mr. Wen gritted his teeth, his face gloomy.
After a long while, Mr. Wen finally spoke: "Gather our people in the city, find out the situation of the Wen family, and try to rescue the young master!"
Mr. Wen knew that saving Wen Zhao was easier said than done.
He had seen with his own eyes the officers and soldiers guarding outside the Wen family mansion.
That's just layers of defense.
With only the few men he left in the city, it was simply a pipe dream for him to rush into the Wen family and rescue the young master.
But the young master is the young master after all.
The reason why he can have his current status and gather such a powerful force under his command is not only due to his own intelligence and talent, but also because of Wen Zhao's reputation as a descendant of the royal family.
Now that the young master is trapped in the Wen family, he naturally has to show his attitude in front of his subordinates, the Moon Clan members.
Whether or not the young master can be rescued is one thing.
If he doesn't take an active approach to rescue the young master, won't his loyalty be questioned?
By the evening, the people who were sent out came back one after another.
"Master Imperial Master, I have already contacted the people lurking in the city. Everyone, please follow your orders!"
Mr. Wen nodded slightly, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
"Master Imperial Master, the Wen family residence is heavily guarded. It is impossible to send any letters in, and we cannot find out what is going on inside."
The subordinate who came back to report was dejected, with a look of panic on his face as if he had messed up.
Mr. Wen had anticipated this and did not blame him.
The subordinate who came back last was like a frightened bird, walking hurriedly and looking panicked.
"Master Imperial Master, this is bad. The guards are searching every household with portraits."
"Xiao Wu wanted to go and investigate, but he was arrested and told that he looked like the person in the portrait."
"I hid in the dark and saw that the yamen runner was holding a thick stack of portraits, more than a dozen of them."
"When the bailiffs were questioning passers-by, I happened to see a few of them. The portraits were of Xiao Wu, Meng Jiang, and Jiang Liu."
"The portrait looks so much like the real person that you can recognize it at a glance!"
After hearing this, Mr. Wen’s first reaction was that it was impossible.
Nowadays, even with the best brushstrokes, it is impossible to depict a person perfectly.
There will always be some differences between the real person and the portrait.
The portraits posted by the government to catch the criminals can only depict a rough outline, with some particularly obvious features added.
Anyone who can capture 80% to 90% of the essence of a character must be considered one of the best painters in the world.
