Chapter 36 Portraits

Author: Si Wu

It was said that he was asking for an audience, but in fact it was just a report. After the servant finished speaking, Zhan Shuyun stepped into the main hall. He bowed his hands to Duan Chang and gave a slight salute, and directly stated the purpose of his visit without waiting for Duan Chang to ask.

"It turns out he was involved in a murder case again. I sent so many people out to look for him but couldn't find him. I thought he was kidnapped."

Duan Chang looked at Zhan Shuyun and said, "I should have asked someone to tell me first, so that we wouldn't have to worry."

Zhan Shuyun did not defend himself, but only handed over his hand to accuse, and said: "Miss Duan will probably stay in jail for two days. I came here to inform you of the news, and to get some clothes for Miss Duan.

It’s damp and cold in the prison, I’m afraid Miss Duan won’t be able to bear it.”

Zhan Shuyun still remembered that when he was in Qin'an, Yi Yan only stayed in the prison for two days and then became half-dead. Now he really didn't dare to just leave her in the prison and ignore her.

Duan Chang was slightly surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect Zhan Shuyun to be so considerate. However, after being slightly surprised, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. He stroked his beard and nodded slightly. "Not bad, not bad. Although this marriage may not work out in the end, it seems good at the moment."

of.

Duan Chang looked at Zheng, and Zheng nodded and said to Zhan Shuyun: "Wait a moment."

Zhan Shuyun said, "I'll go with my wife to save some time."

Zheng hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Duan Chang had no intention of refusing, she nodded to Zhan Shuyun and said, "Then come with me."

Mrs. Zheng took Zhan Shuyun out of the main hall, first sent someone to tell Duan Qingrong the news and asked him to come back, and then took Zhan Shuyun into the inner courtyard.

Mrs. Zheng prepared two sets of clothes and a light mattress for Yu Huan, and handed them all to Zhan Shuyun. She said a few words as if she was giving instructions and was polite, and sent Zhan Shuyun out of the door.

Watching Zhan Shuyun leave, Zheng stood at the door without moving.

"Madam, it's cold at night, let's go back."

Zheng shook her head, her brows slightly furrowed with a hint of worry, and she said, "Why isn't Yu Lin back yet?"

The aunt on the side smiled and said, "The person who notified the young master just went out for a while, how could it be so fast? The same goes for the lady who returned to the house and waited."

Seeing that Mrs. Zheng didn't listen, Mammy couldn't help but said: "Young Master is a filial man. When you come back to see your wife, you should feel sorry for yourself and blame yourself for waiting at the door."

Mrs. Zheng sighed, "I'll go back and wait."

——

In the prison, Zhan Shuyun, who had just left the prison not long ago, returned. In addition to the things Zheng gave him, he brought with him a set of four treasures of the study room.

"My lord, where is mine?"

When Bai Lan saw Yu Huan, he had clean clothes and soft bedding, but in his cell there were only cold stone bricks and earth blocks and scattered haystacks. The haystacks hadn't been changed in an unknown amount of time.

It smelled of moldy moisture, and cockroaches crawled out and crawled in from time to time, apparently making a home in it.

Zhan Shuyun ignored him, and Yan Yan ignored him. The white heat was unbalanced.

"My lord, you cannot accept bribes!"

"Accepting bribes?" Zhan Shuyun turned to look at him, "Do you have any evidence? Don't talk nonsense."

"You brought something for Sister Duan, but you didn't bring anything for me!"

Zhan Shuyun glanced at him coolly, "Someone is worried about asking me to bring something in. After all, you are just suspects and not death row prisoners. As for why you didn't... If your family members found me and asked me to bring something, I would naturally

And I brought it with you, but no."

Incandescence: "..."

This is heart-wrenching words.

Yan Yan picked up a pile of paper and shook it, "What does this mean? Are you afraid that I will be bored in jail?"

Zhan Shuyun shook his head and asked, "Are you good at painting?"

Ember: "It doesn't count as being good at it, it can only be said to have some knowledge."

"It's enough to have a brief knowledge of them." Zhan Shuyun took the paper, spread it on the ground, and began to rub the ink, "draw the faces of the four people you saw."

"Ah!" Yu Yan pretended to be surprised, "I thought Master Zhan just left so simply that he wouldn't have thought of this for a while!"

Zhan Shuyun's free hand couldn't help but knock Yan Yan's head, and he said: "Don't be poor, draw faster."

"Paint, paint, paint now, don't do it."

Yi Yan turned his head to avoid Zhan Shuyun's hand, picked up the brush and dipped it in ink, closed his eyes and recalled for a moment, then opened his eyes and put down the brush.

The last portrait was drawn, and the embers stopped Zhan Shuyun from reaching out to take it. His eyes stared at it for a moment, always feeling that something was missing.

The ember refused to move, and Zhan Shuyun did not move. He first followed the ember to look at the portraits, and felt that the portrait of the last person was different from the rough and strong portraits of the previous three.

It's actually a bit more elegant than this one.

It seemed to be a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember where the familiarity came from.

Unable to think of a reason, Zhan Shuyun turned his attention to the embers again.

She sat sideways on the ground. The originally light-colored clothes were stained with dirt and looked a little dull. The hem of the clothes was a little short, and it could be seen that it had been cut with a sharp tool. The clothes were cut flat but the whole body was crooked. It was no longer possible to tell that the clothes were originally

of luxury.

The corners of the sleeves and the corners of the skirt were in the same condition, and had also been cut off, barely covering the embers of the wrist. Under the dim light, one could see an unclear mark, like a scar, or like a long-term curvature of the skin.

Folded folds.

For some reason, Zhan Shuyun suddenly remembered the woman who claimed to be a secret guard and the woman's gloved hands.

"I remembered."

Ember suddenly made a sound, and immediately took off the paper and sketched it again on a blank piece of paper. The final product was no different from the one that was just discarded. The difference was in the neck of this new portrait.

, the ember removed something.

The person who drew this picture was quick, just grasping the features of the face, there was no need to pay attention to lifelikeness, so Ember started writing very quickly, and it was done in a moment.

"now it's right."

Yi Yan handed the four portraits to Zhan Shuyun, then picked up the pen and continued to write and draw on the paper.

"No Adam's apple?"

Yi Yan nodded, "Well, I remember that he seems to have no Adam's apple. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the Adam's apple is too small and I didn't notice it. What do you think his condition is?"

The Adam's apple is either too small and inconspicuous, or there is no one at all. Coupled with the appearance of being too delicate, there are only a few possible reasons:

"I see, either she is too young and her Adam's apple is not noticeable, or she is disguised as a man, but in both cases she is not too tall, so there is another situation that is the most unlikely and most suitable."

Yu Yan said slowly, she put down her pen and looked at Zhan Shuyun, "Bake a bold guess and verify carefully. I guess this is a pure eunuch."

As soon as the word "purifying eunuch" came out, it was as if the chaos in Zhan Shuyun's mind that had obscured the sense of familiarity was knocked open, and a flash of inspiration flashed and he quickly caught it.

"Wei Guanlan!"

Zhan Shuyun blurted out.

He had seen this person next to Wei Guanlan before.

Yi Yan's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this.

Is he the person next to Wei Guanlan? He looks very similar to the person who was guarding the door of the small building in the bandit village.
