Facing Wu Chengwei's request, Yu Shisan just pointed at Wu Chengwei and said, "You really want to take out all the stuff from your master's box, but it doesn't matter, I am just your apprentice. If you want to learn from me, I will teach you!" But don’t call Cuiqiao “Master” in front of her again, otherwise she will really beat your master to death!”
"It's not like you don't know your master... bah bah bah, no, it's how strong that girl Cui Qiao is. If you don't want to see your master being knocked down from the willow tree, don't call her Shi Niang in front of her. You say Why are you provoking her for nothing?" Yu Shisan said speechlessly.
However, Wu Chengwei obviously had no good intentions, "But master, I actually really want to see the weeping willows being pulled backwards."
Hearing the heartless nonsense said by his rebellious disciple, Yu Shisan complained, "Why do I have such a rebellious disciple like you! Come on! Get out of here!"
But after all the trouble, Yu Shisan's craftsmanship did not fall behind, and soon he only drew a portrait of a young man. Although Wu Chengwei didn't know who the portrait was, he could guess that the person in the painting was probably The portrait of Wen Jindao's eldest grandson Wen Shanxiu.
However, Wu Chengwei was still a little curious. While the portrait was drying, Wu Chengwei couldn't help but ask, "Master, is this painted by Wen Shanxiu?"
And now the remaining thirteen people quickly gave Wu Chengwei a positive answer.
"It's him."
Wu Chengwei also curiously asked, "Master, you have never seen Wen Shanxiu, so how do you know what Wen Shanxiu looks like?"
When Yu Shisan heard this, he only whispered, "If you combine his father and his mother, you will know what he looks like."
Upon hearing what Yu Shisan said, Wu Chengwei immediately said curiously, "That's okay."
Yu Shisan said, "Of course."
Upon hearing this, Wu Chengwei felt even more miraculous. He only felt that this skill was even more magical than learning martial arts. If he hadn't been busy with official duties, he would have asked his master to teach him his unique skills as soon as possible.
"Master, after we finish this matter, you must give me this!"
But Yu Shisan just covered his mouth and snickered inwardly to Wu Chengwei's reaction to his actions: This kid is really too easy to fool.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to draw a picture of a person's appearance based only on his parents.
After all, if he has never seen someone before, no matter how much he copies, he will not be able to withstand so many growth probabilities and the genetic mutations of some people.
So in fact, the real reason is that Wu Chengwei met Wen Shanxiu once. Although that meeting was a long time ago, it almost happened when Wen Jindao was still in the capital. At that time, Wen Shanxiu was only an eleven-year-old boy. Years old child, in order to curry favor with the King of Jin, his grandfather only sent his eldest grandson Wen Shanxiu to choose a scholar. Although many years have passed since this happened, and because King Jin was a hot candidate for the future heir, many people sent their children to work as bookboys for King Jin at that time, but Wen Shanxiu still left him deep impression.
This Wen Shanxiu was too dull. His grandfather originally wanted him to use this relationship to get close to the King of Jin and place bets.
Unexpectedly, his eldest grandson is really useless. He can hardly recite the Analects of Confucius. In fact, he is not the only one who can't recite it. However, most of the others who can't recite it either remain silent or make jokes.
However, Wen Shanxiu was really stupid.
He couldn't carry it anymore. King Jin saw that he looked like he was about to cry, and he didn't want to embarrass Wen Shanxiu, so King Jin kindly reminded him of the following words, but then Wen Shanxiu said His face turned red, and he even burst into tears in the audience.
His cry made many people look at him. At that time, King Jin had not grown into the evil-faced person he is now. Although he was a proud man, he still had a lot of sympathy for his subordinates.
Therefore, it turned out that the meeting to select a scholar for the King of Jin had to be suspended because of Wen Shanxiu's crying. The King of Jin coaxed Wen Shanxiu for a long time.
At that time, he saw Wen Shanxiu on the beam.
Following his master, he had always accepted the iron-blooded policy, so at the moment, he was only deeply impressed by Shanxiu's appearance of crying at the slightest thing, and even
At that time, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at the person below. ..
After all, they were born in martial arts. Let alone these things, even if they were punished by their master, they still had to grit their teeth and complete the task.
Therefore, he was really impressed by Wen Shanxiu, and he had an eleven or twelve-year-old template as a reference.
Therefore, Yu Shisan was still able to draw Wen Shanxiu smoothly.
Of course, Yu Shisan would not tell his apprentice about this part of the matter. After all, it actually brought back some other bad memories for him.
Thinking of those bad memories, Yu Shisan couldn't help but retract his thoughts. At the moment, he only took the initiative to say to Yu Shisan, "Disciple, let's go find the people from the Shipping Department!"
Regarding Yu Shisan's proposal, Wu Chengwei naturally only nodded in cooperation, and then the master and apprentice quickly went to the Shipping Department.
The Shipping Department was built at the center of Luocheng Pier. They managed the freight exchanges between Luocheng and other places. It was a major port management center for the imperial court's maritime economy and trade.
Therefore, the architectural style of this yamen, which is mainly engaged in economics, is naturally more magnificent than ordinary government yamen.
Moreover, this place now accounts for the majority of the treasury's tax revenue, and it belongs to a fat and oily department. Naturally, Emperor Yong would not trust such a department to be left under the jurisdiction of those local officials.
Therefore, the general stewards here are usually the father-in-laws sent directly from Yongdi Palace.
And most of the young stewards are young father-in-laws.
This group of rootless people can be regarded as the absolute supporters of Emperor Yong.
Therefore, if they go to these father-in-laws directly, they may not get the information they want. Especially if they know that they are the King of Jin, they will probably hide the information tightly, so before going to them, Yu Shisan also made a special trip to the Luocheng government office.
Later, after they obtained the search warrant and other letters from the Luocheng government office, they entered the shipping department's gate under the leadership of the chief arrester of the Luocheng government office.
But even if they entered the shipping company, the company's bosses would only treat the chief executive with a lazy attitude.
After leading them to a hall, the guarding father-in-law said directly to the chief catcher, "Just wait here. Our chief catcher has always had the habit of taking a nap. He never likes others to disturb him." It’s a clear dream. So I have to wait for the chief manager to wake up before I can go and communicate for you.”
After saying this, the man only coughed slightly. He said this as if it was a great gift from heaven.
After hearing this, the chief catcher could only stand up with a smile on his face and said, "When the chief steward wakes up, please tell me as soon as possible."
While talking, the chief catcher only thrust a piece of silver into the father-in-law's hand.
The father-in-law looked at the silver ingot in his hand and said, "Okay, since you have said so, I will tell him when he wakes up."
After saying this, the father-in-law left lazily.
After the father-in-law left, the chief catcher also smiled bitterly and said to the two of them, "Thank you for your hard work. Chief Manager Liu has never taken our yamen seriously, and his subordinates are not greedy or incompetent. We If we have to deal with their ship inspectors to handle the case ourselves, they will have to resort to bribery, so we have no choice. Please forgive me."
Hearing the words of the chief catcher, Yu Shisan naturally only expressed his understanding and said: "Chief catcher, of course we also know your difficulties, so we can still afford to wait for this person. However, during the conversation we are waiting for, I I want to ask you to do us a favor."
The chief catcher was surprised when he heard this and said, "Is there anything else you can help me with?"
After hearing this, Yu Shisan whispered, "This is actually not a big favor. I just want you to tell me that the person we are looking for is an escaped prisoner from your government office. We need the cooperation of their government office, and we He is your agent."
The chief catcher was also shocked when he heard this, because when he was ordered just now, the county magistrate clearly told him that the Jin Wei Division needed their cooperation in handling the case.
Nowadays, Jin Weisi's people don't just reveal their identities like them, but now they actually want to hide their identities. Why is this? It's also because of the reason in their hearts.
He was confused, so the chief catcher couldn't help but asked, "Why is this? Don't you two adults directly reveal Jin Weisi's identity to receive higher courtesy than you do now?"
Yu Shisan immediately responded in a flawless manner, "Although this is what I said, the person we are investigating is related to the general manager, and His Majesty is also doubting the loyalty of the general manager, so we are investigating this case. Although the case requires the cooperation of the General Manager, we cannot let the General Manager know what we are investigating."
On the other side, Wu Chengwei only cooperated and said, "If you can help us get this done, we may be able to become an official in the future!"
Naturally, the chief catcher did not doubt their identity. After all, his immediate superiors regarded the two as honored guests, and their immediate superiors certified that they were from Jinwei Division, so the superiors did not doubt him. The chief catcher did not doubt their identity. Naturally, Tou will not doubt them.
Now that he heard Wu Chengwei's assurance, the chief catcher felt more energetic in his work. He immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, sir, this matter will be taken care of by the villain!"
After hearing the chief catcher's assurance, Yu Shisan also affirmed the chief catcher at this time and said, "Of course we believe in your ability."
After confirming that the arrest was over, the remaining thirteen people sat down and returned to their original place. Then he whispered, "Since General Manager Liu needs a lunch break, why don't we take a nap and wait for General Manager Liu to wake up."
After hearing Yu Shisan's words, the chief catcher immediately firmly supported Yu Shisan's decision.
After a while, the chief catcher also sat back in his seat, and then the three of them fell asleep leaning on the left hand side.
No matter how long it took, they woke up to the sound of others calling.
