Ning Ning never expected that Shang Wenqi was really rich. She thought Song Sijing was just making it up.

At this time, Ning Ning became more and more curious about Shang Wenqi's identity. Who on earth was he? Not only was he favored by the Queen Mother, he also held a high position and even had countless permanent properties.

Could it be that he is a child of aristocratic family?

About ten minutes later, Shang Wenqi came back with a dark face.

Ning Ning couldn't help but look outside curiously, but Song Sijing didn't follow in. It was obvious that Song Sijing had failed to borrow money and even his ambition to go all in like a gambler had been suppressed by Shang Wenqi.

Ning Ning's amusement naturally caught Shang Wenqi's attention. Shang Wenqi's footsteps paused slightly, and finally he went back to his room without saying anything.

Ning Ningyi was the only one left in the living room.

She sat there bored for a while, and when she was sure that Shang Wenqi would not come out again, she went into her room in boredom.

I wanted to talk to him about the Ministry of Justice, but it seems he doesn't intend to interfere.

Ning Ning gave up with regret.

After returning to the room, Ning Ning began to think about the next plan.

Speaking of these men in black, they should be lying in ambush around the Zhou residence, waiting for Ning Ning, whose whereabouts are unknown, to come looking for them.

Although she was Xiao Zhizhou's instructor, to the surveillance personnel, any strange woman who took the initiative to knock on the Zhou family's door would be a suspicious person.

So, they took Ning Ning away directly.

However, everyone underestimated Ning Ning's strength, not to mention that Shang Wenqi came to rescue her. In short, all the members of this team were wiped out.

I think these bodies have been dealt with by Shang Wenqi's men, but who knows if anyone among them slipped away to report the news.

Although Qingyun Zuoqishou is very powerful, the Ministry of Justice is no pushover and might even investigate Shang Wenqi.

What she had to do was to find the petition as soon as possible. Now that things had come to this, she had no choice but to go to the Ministry of Justice to look for it.

However, who should I look for among so many people in the Ministry of Justice?

Ning Ning squinted her eyes and thought, and a blurry face flashed in her mind unconsciously.

That was the man in black in the original owner's memory.

The original owner felt a little worried after leaving his father's room that day. While hesitating in the corridor, he saw someone who came to look for his father in the middle of the night.

Although the memory is a little fuzzy, forced meditation still allows me to outline the basic outline of this person.

Thinking of this, Ning Ning bought a 2B pencil directly in the mall. She originally planned to buy paper at the same time, but she thought that all the goods in the mall were free of charge. Even the antique paper was finer than the ancient paper. As soon as it was taken out, it would be seen through, not to mention the special paper for watercolor and gouache.

There is absolutely no such thing now.

Ning Ning had no choice but to give up, but now she had one more study item in her business. By the way, has movable type printing been invented? Or maybe she could also start a publishing house? It seemed like another business that would bring in a lot of money.

Ning Ning ran to the living room while fantasizing about the business empire, and then looked for something with her butt sticking out, without any sense of being a guest.

I soon found the pen, ink, paper and inkstone next to the bookshelf.

However, she was definitely not good at painting with a brush. Ning Ning simply ignored all that and just took the rice paper and tried hard to paint on it.

However, the 2B pencil was too hard and the rice paper was too thin, so if you were not careful, you would poke a hole in it, which made Ning Ning very annoyed.

It took me a while to finally get the hang of it.

Shang Wenqi was originally meditating in his room, but he kept hearing rustling sounds coming from the living room.

Shang Wenqi opened his eyes irritably. This neighbor was really restless. He was looking for trouble day and night. How could he be so busy!

In the end, Shang Wenqi couldn't bear it anymore and got up and walked out.

Then I saw a pile of paper balls on the ground.

His brows twitched involuntarily. These were all top-grade mica papers, supplied exclusively to the palace and hard to come by.

As a result, this girl didn't cherish it at all.

"What are you doing?"

"Draw the murderer." Ning Ning didn't even raise her head.

"What murderer?" Shang Wenqi temporarily suppressed his dissatisfaction and asked patiently.

"The man who forced my father to death." Ning Ning said as she painted: "I saw this man once that night. Although his face is blurry, I can still roughly restore his appearance. With this small portrait, I can narrow down the murderer."

After all, there are so many people in the Ministry of Justice, and she can't check them one by one to draw this person. If he is from the Ministry of Justice, it would be great. If not, it won't be a loss to start with him.

Shang Wenqi frowned, not holding much hope for this. The portrait was already 30% unrealistic from the real person, not to mention that the memory was still vague.

What's the point of drawing a portrait like this...

However, just as Shang Wenqi finished his thought, Ning Ning also put down his pen.

She walked over to Shang Wenqi as if to ask for credit: "Take a look, do you recognize this guy?"

Shang Wenqi glanced at it meaninglessly, but this glance shocked him.

There was a person standing on Ning Ning's scroll, and the person's appearance and features were clearly visible on the paper, just like a real person.

This kind of realistic painting is even comparable to looking in a mirror.

Shang Wenqi looked as if he had seen a ghost: "You...what...what is this?"

"Sketch is a painting technique popular in Europe and occasionally seen in the Western Regions."

"How did you learn it?"

"Don't forget that Minzhou is not far from the Western Regions, and one of my teachers is from the Western Regions."

Shang Wenqi sneered: "Did she teach you again?"

"That's not the case. I was taught by a wandering master." Ning Ning answered without blushing or breathing heavily.

In fact, her sketching skills were really taught by a foreigner, so it wasn’t really a lie, right?

"Now is not the time to praise my painting skills. Hurry up and see if this person looks familiar."

Shang Wenqi took the painting silently and looked at it carefully: "I have indeed seen him."

"You really have seen it!" Ning Ning's eyes lit up.

She said that there would definitely be hope if we started with this person.

Shang Wenqi nodded: "Gong Ming, the director of the Qing History Department of the Ministry of Justice."

"It's indeed from the Ministry of Justice!" Ning Ning was very excited.

"That guy. After he left, my father committed suicide by swallowing gold. He must know the inside story. It's even possible that he met my brother on the way back to Beijing. He might really know the whereabouts of the petition."

Ning Ning immediately looked at Shang Wenqi lovingly: "Brother Qi, can you help me capture this person without anyone noticing?"

"..." Shang Wenqi looked at her coldly, and his hand unconsciously grasped the hilt of the knife again.

Obviously, people are very dissatisfied with her title.

Ning Ning glanced at Shang Wenqi's hand and held him down knowingly: "Don't be like this. I have something to ask of you, so I thought of changing it to a name you like more to show my respect to you. If you don't like it, I will change it immediately. There is no need to hurt feelings."

"..." Shang Wenqi seemed even angrier.

Ning Ning sneered: "Can I call you Ah Qi like Song Sijing and the others? Since we are both serving the same person, please help me."

"You can ask me to help you, but there is a condition."
