Chapter 520 Burning Paintings

Everyone was wondering what Qi Ning wanted to carry up, but soon they saw two men carrying a fire bucket out of the stairs. Everyone looked at each other, and someone immediately understood something.

Qi Ning took the picture of the goddess looking down, handed it to one of the men, and ordered, "Come on it." Then he took a few steps forward and bowed, "Everyone, the atmosphere of cheating the world and stealing reputation should not be long, and the atmosphere of using fakes to replace the real thing should not be long. Today, I will burn them all in public and let everyone witness that I, Qi Ning, will never tolerate the existence of fakes."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only everyone present, but even Yuan Rong was a little surprised.

He followed Qi Ning's instructions and held a banquet at Cuideyuan, but he did not understand what Qi Ning wanted to do. Only then did he realize that Qi Ning was actually going to burn paintings in public.

In fact, although these two paintings are fakes, it is no problem to sell them for thousands of taels of silver. However, Qi Ning wanted to burn them without blinking, and his courage was quite strong.

Gu Wen's mouth was open at this moment, shocked.

Like Yuan Rong, he had never been able to make any sense of what Qi Ning's gourd was selling. At this time, he heard that he was going to burn two paintings, and he was shocked.

However, Qi Ning walked straight to Gu Wen's side, stretched out his hand, and said, "Leave that painting to me."

Gu Wen held the fake Goddess Mu Guitu, but he was really reluctant to let it go. Although this was a fake, he also knew that two paintings could be worth thousands of taels of silver. Now he was owed a lot of debts outside. At this time, he could have one tael of silver, but he had to watch the thousands of taels of silver thrown into the fire, a little hesitant, but Qi Ning's face looked irresistible. Gu Wen had no choice but to hand over the goddess Mu Guitu to Qi Ning.

Qi Ning didn't say much, walked to the fire bucket, threw the goddess Mu Guitu into the fire bucket, turned around, took the man's rolled up Goddess Chaolutu, and threw it into the fire bucket.

After the two scrolls were thrown into the fire bucket, they were instantly swallowed by the fire. Qi Ning carried his hands on his back and looked solemn. He stood by the fire bucket and stared at the rising flames. Everyone present did not speak. After a while, just waiting for the two scrolls to turn into ashes, Qi Ning turned around and said, "I'll thank you all here today. The fake has been destroyed, so this matter is over. Even if you drink and sing here tonight, you will not return without getting drunk. I still have some small things to do, so I'll ask Mr. Yuan to accompany you on your behalf!"

Many people felt a pity when they saw two paintings burned, but seeing that Qi Ning was so determined to destroy the fakes, they naturally applauded.

Yuan Rong signaled everyone to sit down and drink for a banquet. Qi Ning said goodbye to everyone. Yuan Rong personally sent Cui Deyuan, so Gu Wen could not continue to stay here. With Qi Ning, Cui Deyuan came out together.

He thought Qi Ning had any good ways to help him solve this problem, but who knew that today's banquet was to destroy his two fakes in public. He didn't even eat a bite of food and wanted to leave in a hurry. He felt a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

After saying goodbye to Yuan Rong, the two rode together and walked along for a while. Gu Weng saw that Qi Ning had been pondering and did not speak, and smiled bitterly: "Marty, now both fakes are gone, and now everything is over."

"Uncle, I know you are unhappy." Qi Ning sighed: "But a fake is a fake, and it is useless to keep it in your hands. I can only find another way to find the money you owe."

Gu Weng said: "Tomorrow is the final deadline. As soon as tomorrow night passes, the money house will come to me the day after tomorrow. At that time, my shops and houses are all there!" At this time, I thought that the family business that the Gu family has worked hard for several generations will turn into smoke and clouds in my hands. I am both upset, but my heart is sad.

Qi Ning said: "My uncle will be in the pawnshop tomorrow. I may not be able to save your other industries, but I will try my best to keep the pawnshop for you, which can be considered as a living."

Gu Weng asked anxiously: "Really? Then how can I save it?" Nowadays, it is already a dream to save other industries. If I can still save the pawnshop, it is already Amitabha Buddha.

Qi Ning didn't explain, but just smiled and said, "After my uncle comes back, take a good rest and don't think too much." Without further ado, Gu Weng was anxious, but Qi Ning didn't speak, and he didn't have time to ask.

When Qi Ning returned to the Hou Mansion, Gu Qinghan was already laughing at him and held a banquet at Cuideyuan. He came over and asked, "What's the situation over there?"

"Scene?" Qi Ning smiled and said, "What's the situation?"

"Didn't you ask your elder brother to take those two fake paintings to win Cui Deyuan? Are you asking someone to help him solve the problem?" Gu Qinghan asked.

Qi Ning sighed, "Sanniang, do you really think I am a god, it's not a matter of hundreds of taels of silver. How can I set up a banquet to solve it? I just went to burn the two paintings in public so that there would be no one to follow in the footsteps and just remind everyone."

Gu Qinghan was stunned and speechless.

Qi Ning said softly: "Don't worry, I'll think of a way to at least keep the pawnshop, and I always make a living for my uncle."

Gu Qinghan smiled bitterly, but shook her head slightly, looking quite sad.

Qi Ning didn't explain much, and went straight to Tang Nuo's courtyard. He had many questions in his heart to ask Tang Nuo to answer. Seeing that the lights in the house were on, he went up to knock on the door. Soon the door was opened. Tang Nuo's pretty face appeared behind the door. Seeing that it was Qi Ning, he was still calm. He smiled slightly and said, "Are you back?" He opened the door and let Qi Ning enter the house.

After Qi Ning entered the house, she glanced and everything was as usual. There were still bottles and jars on the table. She sat down on the chair. Tang Nuo poured a cup of tea and brought it over. Qi Ning took it with a smile and said, "Miss Tang has been in the capital for a long time, and has he understood these politeness?"

Tang Nuo just smiled slightly, and was beautiful under the lights, and asked, "Is this trip to Xichuan going smoothly?"

"Everything went smoothly." Qi Ning stared at Tang Nuo's clear eyes, "I met Senior Li Xi Gongli, one of the Four Holy Envoys of Black Lotus."

Tang Nuo was stunned, Xiumei's face was still calm and calm, and asked, "Is everything okay for him?"

"He told me to take good care of you and not bully you. If you lose a hair in the capital, he will settle the score with me." Qi Ning smiled and said, "Miss Tang, when you see Senior Li in the future, don't complain to him that I have bullied you. If you have any grievances, tell me first."

Tang Nuo smiled and said, "Don't take the words of the master to heart. Everything is fine here and I have no grievances."

"Why didn't Miss Tang ask where I met Senior Li?" Qi Ning asked.

Tang Nuo said: "If I don't ask, you will tell me, will you?"

Qi Ning sighed and said, "You should know about the eight gangs and sixteen sects, led by the Shenhou Mansion, attacked the Qianwuling Black Lotus Sect."

"What's the result?" Tang Nuo's temperament seemed to be as stable as Mount Tai: "Has Qianwu Ridge been captured?"

Qi Ning shook his head and said, "The Eight Gangs and Sixteen Sects have already reached the Black Stone Hall, but in the end the two sides stopped fighting. Jiuxi Poison King Swing Yi followed me to the capital."

Tang Nuo just nodded slightly and didn't say anything.

"I accidentally entered Mihua Valley in Qianwuling." Qi Ning said: "There is an ice pool in Mihua Valley. I met Senior Li in Bingtan."

Tang Nuo's body trembled obviously, looked at Qi Ning's eyes and asked, "Did you enter Mihua Valley and see the Bingtan?"

"In this way, Miss Tang also knows the ice pool in Mihua Valley?" Qi Ning immediately asked, "Does Miss Tang also know the ice coffin under the ice pool?"

"Ice coffin?" Tang Nuo frowned slightly: "How about the ice coffin?"

"Someone wants to sneak into Mihua Valley while the Eighth Gangs and Sixteen Sects attacked Qianwu Ridge to steal the ice coffin." Qi Ning said: "Fortunately, the Black Lotus Sect Master appeared in time, so he saved the ice coffin."

Tang Nuo lowered his head and thoughtful.

"Miss Tang, please forgive me for taking the liberty. You are a disciple of Senior Li, but Senior Li is the holy envoy of the Black Lotus Sect, but you don't know?"

Tang Nuo looked up and said, "Are you asking me what I have to do with the Black Lotus Sect?" He shook his head and said, "I have nothing to do with the Black Lotus Sect now. The master has already withdrawn from the Black Lotus Sect. The four great envoys of the Black Lotus Sect are now only three of them."

"In fact, there are only two left." Qi Ning said: "The color messenger Duan Qingchen betrayed the Black Lotus Sect, otherwise the eight gangs and sixteen sects would not be able to kill the Black Stone Hall. Duan Qingchen is now the number one rebel of the Black Lotus Sect. Everyone on the black face wants to kill it quickly, so this color messenger is no longer the Black Lotus Saint Envoy."

Tang Nuo looked a little disdainful in his eyes and said, "Duan Qingchen has a bad character, his mind is not right, and he has no loyalty at all. This kind of plan to forget the righteousness of profit and betrayal of the Black Lotus Sect is sooner or later." Her tone was full of disgust for Duan Qingchen. Since Qi Ning came into contact with her, Tang Nuo has always given people a sense of being pure and weak but not eating fireworks on earth. It is rare to be so obvious that she is despised by a person.

He was sure at this time that Tang Nuo and the Black Lotus Sect had a deep connection.

Tang Nuo just said that he had nothing to do with the Black Lotus Sect now. The implicit meaning was that he had something to do with the Black Lotus Sect in the past. After all, Duke Li Xi was once the Holy Envoy of the Black Lotus. Since Tang Nuo was his disciple, if he had nothing to do with the Black Lotus Sect, no one believed it.

Although Tang Nuo is no longer involved with the Black Lotus Sect, she is obviously very clear about the situation of the Black Lotus Sect, and even knows the character of the characters in the sect, otherwise she would not have commented on Duan Qingchen in this way.

"Miss Tang, there is something I want to ask you for advice." Qi Ning pondered for a moment before asking, "Do you know what is in the ice coffin? I heard from Senior Li that there seems to be a person in the ice coffin, but it is not a dead person. This is really strange."

Tang Nuowei raised Xiumei's jaw and asked, "He told you that there is a person in the ice coffin?"

"Yes." Qi Ning said: "So I've always been curious. Since it's not a dead person, why should I lie in the ice coffin and sink under the ice pool? Miss Tang, do you know the reason?"

Tang Nuo stared at Qi Ning, and after a short moment, he said: "The world is so big, everything is strange, but the ice coffin has nothing to do with the Marquis. The Marquis actually doesn't have to know who is inside."

Qi Ning was stunned, but he knew in his heart that since Tang Nuo said this, it meant that she did not want to tell him bluntly. He naturally would not force him and said with a smile: "Since Miss Tang is forced, there is no need to tell me, I am just curious." At this moment, he heard a voice from outside: "Mr. Marquis, a guest is visiting. He said his surname is Qiu. As long as he tells the Marquis, he will know who it is."

Qi Ning immediately stood up, Tang Nuo also had a slightly tight eyebrows, and Qi Ning whispered: "It should be that the swing is coming as promised. Should Miss Tang see him?"

Tang Nuo shook his head, Qi Ning said "um", then went out and ordered someone to invite swing Yi in. When he arrived at the front hall, he soon saw swing Yi coming into the hall. Qi Ning smiled and said, "The Poison King has no trace. With your ability, you want to enter the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion, and you are so polite, so people can spread it."

Swing Yi was not polite, sat down on the chair, glanced at Qi Ning with a sideways, and said, "If you like it, I will no longer report you when I come in."

When Qi Ning thought of this old poisonous creature coming and going in the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion, he was so scared that he thought about it and said with a smile: "When will the Poison King arrive in Beijing? Thank you all the hard way."
