It's just that Ning Qiba's smile was very weak, but he was indeed very happy.
Ning Qiba was just a poor scholar in his early years. It was only later that he got a lot of opportunities and built such a large family business from scratch.
But his hobbies have not changed. He likes calligraphy and painting, especially painting.
"Master, let me take a look at famous paintings." Qiu Ya started to act coquettishly.
Although she has no scheming intentions, she also knows Ning Qiba's hobbies. She knows that saying this will scratch Ning Qiba's itch.
Ning Qiba will show off to her, and then she will flatter her. In this way, everyone will be happy and life will be bright.
Sure enough, Ning Qiba opened the black wooden box and took out a painting. He said, "You are wrong. This is not a painting by a famous artist, but this painting is indeed of extraordinary skill. I like it very much."
As he spoke, Ning Qiba hung the painting on the wall and opened the door. The sun shone in, making the light in the room brighter.
This is a picture of a bustling town, and it should be a morning in this city.
The scroll, which is more than two meters long, depicts a large number of people of various colors, as well as cattle, mules, donkeys and other livestock, as well as carts, sedan chairs, large and small boats, houses, bridges, towers, etc., showing a vibrant human fireworks. .
Even Qiu Ya, a person who knows nothing about painting, thinks this kind of painting is good.
So, she racked her brains to praise.
Listening to Qiu Ya's lame praise, Ning Qiba smiled. He fell in love with this painting at the first sight and spent a certain amount of money to get it.
"Master, which city is Huaxu City in this painting? Is there this city under the jurisdiction of Luocang Mansion?" Qiu Ya pointed to the end of the scroll and asked softly.
"Hua Xu?"
Song Qiba lowered his head and looked at the end of the volume. There were indeed three small characters there that said "Huaxu City".
"This city..." Ning Qiba thought about it carefully, and after a while, he confirmed, "I don't know where it is at this time, but there is no such city under Luo Cang Mansion."
"It may be Yehuai County, or a town under the jurisdiction of Nanyan Province..."
Having said this, Ning Qiba had already made up his mind, thinking about checking which city in Dayan this Huaxu City was.
"master……"
At this time, Qiu Ya's voice sounded again, and the woman was heard to say, "The people, animals, objects, and buildings in this painting are so real, it's as if this painting contains the city."
"Look at this man, his eyes, his eyebrows, his smile, his movements are so expressive..."
"Really?" Ning Qiba was attracted by Qiu Ya's words. He looked at the man Qiu Ya pointed to. He was a Confucian scholar. He was wearing a crimson gold silk brocade gown. His hair was knotted. He looked gentle and polite. , Ning Qiba noticed this man's eyes.
Indeed, as Qiu Ya said, there is something in this man's eyes.
In this painting, the Confucian scholar is looking forward brightly, as if he has seen something interesting.
But looking outside the painting, it is like the Confucian scholar in the painting, looking at the entire world outside the painting.
"He...indeed..."
Ning Qiba and the Confucian scholar looked at each other, about to say something...
Suddenly, Ning Qiba discovered that the eyes of the Confucian scholar in the painting seemed to blink.
Illusion?
Ning Qiba took two steps back and rubbed his eyes vigorously. He suspected that he had been delusional after looking at the painting for too long.
"Qiu Ya..." He wanted to confirm with Qiu Ya.
But before he could finish speaking, he immediately stopped talking and fled outside.
Qiu Ya, his concubine, has disappeared.
This seemed to happen instantly, and even he didn't notice when Qiu Ya disappeared.
But that's the scariest thing.
"There is something wrong with this painting..." This thought flashed through Ning Qiba's mind.
Buzz…
The entire Meixiangyuan hall darkened, and the light outside was squeezed out bit by bit by the darkness.
Ning Qiba ran faster and faster, but was unable to run out of the house. His body became smaller and smaller. Finally, his body seemed to be squashed and became a flat surface.
Bloody threads stretched out, pulling the shrunken and flattened Ning Qiba into the scroll.
There are two more people in the scroll, a man with a big belly and a rich face, and a woman with a enchanting posture, delicate and charming.
The golden light shone in again.
…
An hour later, Jiang Yan arrived at the Ning family's residence.
Behind him was Ying Tianjiao.
Jiang Yan came to handle the case, but Ying Tianjiao found an opportunity to come out and breathe free air.
Recently, there have been very few strange cases and a lot of free time. Ying Tianjiao has been in seclusion for a few days. His cultivation level has improved slightly and he plans to combine work and rest.
In addition to weird cases, there are many other cases in Luocang Mansion. Among them, there are some cases that are difficult for Luocang Mansion officials to judge, and they will also pass them on to the two departments.
The disappearance of Mr. Ning Mansion falls into this kind of situation.
So, Jiang Yan is here.
He has not gained any weird points for a day, so even if this matter is just a suspected weird case, he is not willing to let it go.
After all, to be able to have two living people disappear mysteriously without any sound while there are many guards outside their own mansion is a very high possibility of a weird case.
"Don't let me down." With this thought, Jiang Yan walked into Ning Mansion accompanied by officials from Luocang Mansion.
Many people gathered in the front yard of Ning Mansion.
Here are basically Ning Qiba's wives, concubines, children, and some of his followers.
They are all the people closest to Ning Qiba.
Luocang Mansion officials introduced the identities of Jiang Yan and Ying Tianjiao, saying that they were here to investigate the disappearance of Ning Qiba.
"Two adults, please do everything."
The person who spoke was Ning Qiba's eldest son. At this moment, his face was solemn and his eyes could not hide the worry.
"I will do my best." Jiang Yan also promised.
Without much courtesy, Jiang Yan and Ying Tianjiao arrived at Meixiangyuan. Ning Qiba disappeared here, so of course they had to investigate here first.
only……
As soon as Jiang Yan approached Mei Xiangyuan, he stopped. At the same time, he also stopped others from moving forward.
He sighed softly.
The modifier's ability can already sense the cold power in the hall of Mei Xiangyuan.
There's something really weird going on here.
Ning Qiba might have encountered an accident and should have died.
"There..." Jiang Yan pointed in the direction of the gate of Meixiangyuan, "Is there anyone else inside?"
"No, sir." Ning Qiba's eldest son stepped forward and answered.
"Hmm... That's it." Jiang Yan nodded slightly, and then he raised his fist fiercely and blasted the Mei Xiangyuan in front of him into pieces with one punch.
After reaching the peak of the True Qi Realm, Jiang Yan's casual punch could have such power.
The roar started, smoke and dust flew up, and debris scattered in all directions. Countless tiny fragments shot towards the crowd, hitting people and causing small wounds on some ordinary people.
These people retreated one after another while screaming.
