Chapter 479 Old Woman
Author: Wei Fuyi
"This is Mei Qu Mei Gong?" Xiao Lingjiang looked at him and his eyebrows were slightly raised.
Mei Qu coughed lightly and bowed and bowed: "It's me that Mei Qu has seen Princess Yong'an."
"Mr. Mei, don't be too polite, sit down quickly." Xiao Lingjiang raised his hand and lifted up his slightly bent body with mysterious power.
"Thank you, Princess." Mei Qu clenched his fist to his lips, coughed again, and then sat down in the main seat.
Xiao Lingjiang looked at him without a trace. Mei Qu is now more than 60 years old, with most of her hair white and many wrinkles on her face. However, she sat there with a clear figure and a family style.
Perhaps it was the cold winter, and he was indeed sick on his face.
Xiao Lingjiang sighed with concern: "It's a pity that Mr. Mei is not in Yingdu, otherwise he would not have asked Emperor Yongmu to treat you one or two. She is good at spiritual treatment, and she thinks that this disease can be cured properly."
Is this intentional test of him?
Mei Qu smiled and said, "Not to mention that he is not in Yingdu now, even in Yingdu, my body is just an old problem, so how can I use Princess Yongmu to treat him personally? Princess, if you can come to visit me, my entire Mei Mansion is already in fear."
"Mr. Mei is too humble." Xiao Lingjiang smiled and picked up the teacup, took a sip and said slowly, "I came to Mei's house, one was to visit Mei's house, and the other was that I had something to ask about."
"Oh?" Mei Qu said suspiciously, "I don't know what the princess has to ask, and my Mei Mansion will definitely know everything."
Xiao Lingjiang smiled when she heard this, and she put down the teacup and said, "I am actually looking for someone when I am traveling to Chizhou. As I can't guess, this person should be from a family of aristocratic families. Therefore, I came to the door to bother me today, and I also wanted to take this opportunity to ask if the people in the mansion had seen this person."
After saying that, she raised her hand slightly to signal, and He Zheng, who was beside her, stepped forward a few steps, stood in the middle of the hall, unfolded the scroll in her hand, and faced everyone.
I saw that the scroll was about four feet high, with a woman in plain clothes painted on it, with a letter to the flower, with a graceful figure and a lotus face, which was very bright and bright.
Everyone was stunned. What was Princess Yong'an doing?
Xiao Lingjiang looked at the expressions of the people in the hall without a trace. Mei Qu and Mei Qing did not raise their eyebrows, and the rest looked stunning.
It seems that I don't know the identity of the person in the painting.
Xiao Lingjiang pointed to the person in the painting and said, "This woman was met by chance when I was handling the case, but later she lost her trace. He was a man from Chizhou when he heard that he was. Now I want to find this person for some reason, I wonder if you know me?"
Everyone in the hall shook their heads when they heard this.
This little lady is extremely beautiful, and if they have seen her, they should have an impression.
Mei Qu and his son also looked ignorant, but they couldn't help but be surprised. When did Xiao Lingjiang meet Cen Niang and even paint her appearance?
When Cen Niang was still there, Xiao Lingjiang should have been in Linchuan at that time. He was just a noble lady who had never been in the forefront and had no reputation?
When did the two meet? Or, in fact, they got the portrait of Cen Niang from others, and Xiao Lingjiang just used it to deliberately test them?
But even if it is painted by others, it shouldn't be...
Cen Niang never entered the Mei Mansion. After being taken back to Chizhou by Mei Qu, she was first trapped in the courtyard. Later, she gradually gained abilities and followed the temple more often, and had always been low-key.
Except for Mei Qu and Mei Qing, the Mei family had never seen her before, and they didn't know that she was a girl from Mei.
Could it be that this portrait comes from a man from the temple? Did she catch someone and pry out something from them?
But there are not many people in the divine palace who have seen Cen Niang’s true face...
Mei Qu's heart turned sharply, but she didn't show any signs on her face.
He pressed his heart and thought, what if Xiao Lingjiang took out the portrait? Cen Niang was gone, and she had suspicion in her heart, and there was no way to connect Mei and Cen Niang with the divine palace.
She has not taken action against Mei now, which shows that she has not found any tangible evidence that Mei has a relationship with the divine palace.
She came to the door today and took this portrait, just to test him on purpose to see if the Mei family will reveal flaws, right?
snort!
When the Mei family doesn't move, she can't sit still.
Mei Qu was sure, looked at the expressions of the people in the hall, and then said, "I'm disappointed. The people in the mansion don't know this girl. Princess Xu has to go to the side to ask."
Xiao Lingjiang sighed and shook his head: "It's okay, it's not easy to find someone in the huge Chizhou. But there is always a way. Since you don't know, I'll ask others later."
She had no intention of finding someone who knew the people in the painting like this.
After all, his subordinates had already searched the Chizhou clan with this scroll. Not only that, even the Mei family, who had married to the side, took the opportunity to inquire, but they still didn't get any useful information.
She came here just to see Mei Qu and see if she could test it.
Knowing the purpose of her trip, Mei has been too quiet recently. I don’t know if there is any fatal plan behind this calmness.
She had already pointed at Yongmu, Mei and the Divine Palace. How could they sit and not move and let her do it?
Behind the ultimate calmness, there are often even more terrifying storms.
Xiao Lingjiang's eyes were slightly deeper, and he chatted with the Mei family for a few more words, and then he left the Mei family's mansion under the gaze of everyone.
She got on the carriage, lifted up the curtain and ordered: "Go and find some painters, describe more of this painting, and post it all over Chizhou."
After a pause, she said again: "Especially around the Mei Mansion, post a few more pictures."
When she sent someone to look for the person in the painting, she just acted privately. She couldn't tell Yongmu's true identity and didn't want to startle the enemy too early, so naturally she didn't make a big fuss.
Now that she has come to Chizhou, and she and Yongmu are tacit, they are naturally very busy and searching for each other.
If you can find someone who has seen her by chance, you will naturally get more clues. Even if you can't find it, it can still be called Mei Qu, right?
He Zheng not only acted according to his words and acted heavily, but also sought out stories from the teahouses of all sizes to help find people.
In just two days, everyone in Chizhou knew that Princess Yong'an came to Chizhou to find a beautiful girl, saying that she had an old story with her.
As for the old ways, Princess Yong'an has never said that.
The aristocratic tribes and people in Chizhou became interested in the paintings and talked more and more. What's more, there were great rewards. Everyone racked their brains to recall whether they had seen such a lady.
It was another sunny day. Xiao Lingjiang invited the Chizhou clans to have tea. When she left the governor's mansion, she wanted to lift her skirt and get on the car, and she heard a hoarse and rough voice.
"Princess Yong'an!"
Xiao Lingjiang turned his head and saw an old woman dressed in a torn dress and covered most of her face with a cloth towel, standing beside her hunched over.
