Master of Rebirth

There was already chaos outside, and at this moment, Wang Qi was sitting in the hall listening to Wang Sheng's chatter.

"I really didn't expect that Jia Fugui would dare to steal from our Wang family. The second young master was bitten by his own dog. This is a big embarrassment. I met the second young master at the gate just now, did you know?" Look, his face is blacker than the bottom of a pot." Wang Sheng gloated.

Putting down the teacup in her hand, Wang Qi said with a smile: "That's all right, all right, don't be too happy, what if Jia Fugui is released?"

"Is it possible for him to come out?" Wang Sheng asked in surprise.

"According to the relationship between the second brother and the eldest son of our great-grandfather's family, that is not certain." Wang Qi said: "You said that you met the second brother at the gate, where is he going?"

Wang Sheng said: "Second young master's face is too stinky, so I didn't dare to ask. But judging from the direction of the carriage, it should be to the county magistrate's house."

"Pingyao County is neither big nor small. Just relying on a general direction, you know where he is going?" Wang Qi joked.

Wang Sheng said proudly: "Of course we can't be sure just based on one direction. The gift in Xue Cai's hand is a box of high-quality West Lake Longjing. The eldest son of the county magistrate loves Longjing the most, so he made a bold guess."

"You are clever." Wang Qi said: "Go and see if lunch is ready, your young master is hungry."

"Okay, I'll go now, little one." Wang Sheng ran away in a hurry.

Looking at Wang Sheng's cheerful back, he was like a child.Wang Qi smiled heartily, he is indeed still a child now.Why not the former self?

Thinking about the person who made him look like this, Wang Qi couldn't help but sullen.

Judging from Wang Long's performance today, he should have known Jia Fugui would do this for a long time.Wang Qi sneered, Wang Long really took pains to get rid of his elder brother.But when things got to this point, they just didn't know how they would end up.

The sun is gradually going west, and the day is about to pass, but the whole Wang family is filled with a strange calm.But Wang Qi knows that how calm the surface is, there are turbulent waves in the dark.But right now it's all Wang Long's business, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

After a leisurely day at home and dinner, Wang Qi was rarely in the mood. Thinking that she hadn't touched a pen for a long time, she planned to go to the study to make a painting.In the previous life, although painting was his favorite, he had to succumb to the worldly aesthetics. Now, he can finally paint his own paintings as he pleases.

Although Wang Qi had a good plan, as soon as she stepped into the study, she saw a note on the desk.It reads: "At three o'clock in Xu time, the bamboo forest in the north of the city is discussing the matter of Jia Fugui. Come here alone, or you will bear the consequences."

Looking at the familiar handwriting, Wang Qi smiled.It seems that the real thief has come to the door.

The good or bad of this trip is uncertain, Wang Qi excused to go to Gubaozhai to find Dong Jue, refused Wang Sheng's company, and came to the bamboo forest in the north of the city alone.

This place was originally a courtyard of an official's family, called "Bamboo Garden".After the official was found guilty and died, the family also declined, and the bamboo garden was bought by a large family in the county with a lot of money.It's a pity that not long after, the big family suddenly died of a serious illness, and the garden was regarded as unknown, and no one dared to buy it.After a long time, it will be deserted, and few people come, but the bamboo here grows and flourishes.

Wang Qi looked at the desolate surroundings and thought: "This place is secluded, no wonder that person chose this place."

The appointed hour had arrived long ago, but unfortunately there was no one around.Wang Qi waited for more than half an hour, but still no one came.

This was expected by Wang Qi, so she was not too surprised.If the person who left the book was a real thief, he would naturally be cautious.I'm afraid it was to prevent him from attracting officers and soldiers, so he deliberately set up this cover.He will not show up until he is sure that he is indeed single.

In fact, Wang Qi was also somewhat puzzled by this person's invitation.Only one day after the incident happened, even the government's attention was attracted by Jia Fugui, but this person was able to find him without any mistakes, which shows that he already knew the general idea of ​​what he did.If this person is really a thief, it stands to reason that Jia Fugui has become a scapegoat now, and this person should be happy, why bother to invite him out and discuss Jia Fugui's matter?

It is not easy to determine what is going on, but no matter what, one thing is certain, this person can play with the government in the middle of applause, and entering and exiting a high-ranking mansion is like entering a no-man's land.No matter whether it is literary talent or martial arts, they are by no means idle people.Right now, the enemy is dark and we are clear, and we can't hide even if we want to.After thinking about it, Wang Qi could only go to the appointment alone.Besides, he was also very curious about what this person wanted to say when he was invited here.

Although the year has passed, the cold spring has not faded.Wang Qi looked at the sky, and felt that the man would not come over, and it would be futile to continue waiting, so it is better to go back first and then make plans.He gathered the cloak he was wearing on his body, and prepared to return home.

After walking out a few steps, a cold wind suddenly came from behind.Feeling something was wrong, before Wang Qi could turn around, she felt a pain in her neck, and then fell unconscious.

When Wang Qi opened her eyes, she was already inside a warm room.

There was still some pain in the neck, Wang Qi had to close her eyes again for a while, and felt better, so she tried to move her hands and feet.

Finding that she was not bound, Wang Qi struggled to sit up and began to look around.

This is a room with simple furnishings. The candlelight in the room is very dim, and it doesn't look very real.Wang Qi put on her shoes and got out of bed, and was about to open the door to have a look.

At this time, a deep voice suddenly came from the corner: "You are awake."

"Isn't this nonsense?" Cursing inwardly, Wang Qi turned around to look at the source of the voice, only to see a man sitting in a corner.

His whole body was shrouded in darkness, and his face could not be seen clearly.Judging from the approximate body shape, he should be a man of ordinary stature.

"Your Excellency knocked me out here, that's not the way to treat guests." Wang Qi cupped her hands towards the figure in the dark.

"I'm being rude, but I still hope that the prince will be Haihan." The black shadow in the corner sat still, although he said this, but there was no apology in his tone, "But the prince dared to come here alone, and did not inform Anyone, I am still a little surprised."

Seeing that his actions were clearly understood by this person, Wang Qi was not worried: "Your Excellency has spent a lot of trouble, just because I am afraid that I will attract people from the government. Now that I have come here alone, it is enough to show my sincerity. Things are up to now. , we don’t have to keep it up, if you have anything to say, please let me know.”

"It's comfortable to talk to smart people. Since Mr. Wang is straightforward, I won't beat around the bush." ​​Hei Ying said straightforwardly: "Mr. Wang, the note sent to the county government yesterday was written by you?"

Wang Qi said, "What note?"

"My lord, you shouldn't be pretending to be confused now." Heiying said, "From years ago until now, there have been three theft cases in Pingyao County, namely the Li family, the Wu family and your Wang family. Before sending it out, someone sent a letter to the county government, which stated the time and place of the theft."

"I know about the theft, but I only heard about the note yesterday." Wang Qi said.

Seeing that he didn't recognize him, Hei Ying was not annoyed, and continued: "Although the county magistrate deliberately suppressed the matter of the note, it's not that no news has spread. Because of this, the big households in Pingyao County are in constant panic. The Wang family is the richest man in the county, so it is impossible that there is no news at all."

"Even if there is news, it is something that my second uncle and cousin are worried about. If you really understand me, you will know that I am just an idler waiting to die in the Wang family, and I don't care about things." Wang Qiwan said.

Heiying smiled: "If Prince Wang insists on refusing to admit it, I have nothing to do. But the child who sent the note to the yamen has been found by the government. It's only been a day now, and the child's memory will not be too bad. If Let the child recognize the prince, I am afraid that he may not be able to recognize him."

Not being threatened by him at all, Wang Qi smiled and said: "If I am really a messenger, it is impossible not to put on some disguise, and the child may not be able to recognize it. Besides, there are many people who look alike in the world, and it is impossible for Mrs. Ma." Because of a naughty boy, I will be convicted. Besides, if you can find the government to come over, I am afraid that today's incident will not happen."

"Everyone in Pingyao County thinks that Mr. Wang is a cowardly and useless person. Judging from what you have said today, the words of the market are still not trustworthy. Mr. Wang is decisive in his actions and clever in his words. He doesn't seem like a man under 20 years old. Young man." Being blocked by Wang Qi, Soi Ying was not annoyed, but spoke with confidence.

Wang Qidao: "Don't dare. My parents died early, and I am alone and helpless. In order to survive, I have to be careful. My father always said that business must be honest. If you want to get something from others, you have to wait for it." You know me very well, but I know nothing about you. If you don’t show some sincerity, I won’t give you anything easily.”

"You're smart." Hei Ying said with a smile: "Since Mr. Wang has said so, I have to show some sincerity. The case of the Li family and the Wu family was done by me alone. But the case of your Wang family is not the same. It has nothing to do with me."

Wang Qi smiled and said, "I know that. Wasn't Jia Fugui responsible for the case of the Wang family?"

"Jia Fugui did have the intention of attacking Wang's family at night, but someone else sent the note to the government." Hei Ying put a note with words on the table, and said: "Young Master Wang thinks that Jia Fugui Is that kind of scumbag capable of writing such characters?"

Looking up at the words on the table, Wang Qi just smiled, but didn't answer.

"I heard that Jia Fugui sold a painting to Zhenbao Pavilion a few years ago. The painting was Zhang Yunlin's authentic work no matter in terms of brushwork, composition, inscription or seal, so it was hidden from the treasurer of Zhenbao Pavilion, Fu Yin. And the eyes of a group of literati. If it weren’t for the age problem on the seal, it would be enough to confuse the real one.” Heiying said: “It’s also because of that painting that Jia Fugui was sent to prison. He once said that the painting was from I got it from Mr. Wang. If Mr. Wang has the ability to imitate Zhang Yunlin's paintings to hide the truth, then imitating a handful of handwriting is more than enough."

Wang Qi cupped her hands and said, "Your Excellency is joking."

Seeing that he didn't admit it but didn't deny it, Hei Ying continued: "Ming people don't talk dark words. Jia Fugui went to Wang's house last night, and he made it clear that he was going to deal with you. I also heard that many people beat you these days." You are so smart, you must have already noticed that someone is instigating Jia Fugui to harm you, and you know that other members of the Wang family are contributing to the flames , happy to see it happen.”

It seems that this person has already figured out the matter, Wang Qi just listened quietly, not in a hurry to make a sound.

Hei Ying continued: "The Wang family will not protect you. To protect yourself, you can only resort to this trick to attract people from the county government and capture Jia Fugui on the spot. It's a pity that the theft was not done by Jia Fugui. No matter how confused Grandpa is, he will come to his senses in a short time. Even if Jia Fugui is imprisoned for a few years, there will be a day when he will come out. If he is not determined to kill you, you will never be safe."

"Your Excellency called me down, isn't it just to help me analyze the pros and cons?" Wang Qi said.

Hei Ying said: "Of course not. I called you here today just to ask you, do you want Jia Fugui to disappear completely?"
