Ye Xi heard that, according to what Ye Chang said, he and Qi Shu went to the Red Pink House.
Su Fengnuan glanced at the sky, it was noon, and he was not in a hurry to enter the palace, so he waited on the street with Ye Chang and Xu Yunchu.
Not long after, Ye Xi came out of the Red Fen Building with a portrait, came to the carriage, and handed it to Ye Chang.
Ye Chang reached out to take it, squinted his eyes, and said with a smile, "Sure enough."
"What?" Su Fengnuan looked at her and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Qi Shu said puzzledly, "It looks like I'm alone. The old bustard in Hongfenlou is exquisite in painting, but this is also Shen Qi? Did you see that she's not alone?"
Ye Chang took the portrait and spread out the rest of the portraits in the carriage, compared the portrait of the old bustard in the Red Fen Building with the other portraits, pointed to one place and said, "Shen Qi's collarbone is two There are no moles anywhere, but these portraits have them."
Qi Shu was startled, and immediately said, "It's true."
Ye Chang pointed to another place, "Shen Qi's thumb was accidentally strangled by the horse's rein in a horse race with us, and the finger bone was broken. Later, it was reattached by Doctor Meng, and since then there has been a small scar. .”
Qi Shu said, "I know this."
Ye Chang said, "The old bustard of the Rouge Building painted one without a mole and one with a tiny scar on his thumb, because the person he saw was the real Shen Qi, so the painting is his real appearance. And the rest, What I saw was not Shen Qi. Even though the person disguised himself into his appearance, the subtle characteristics never changed. In other words, the person who disguised himself didn't know about these characteristics, or he didn't care about these details at all. place, as long as it looks like Shen Qi."
Qi Shu said, "Then what if those people ignore such a small detail and didn't draw it?"
Ye Chang shook his head, "It's impossible to ignore. The bustards in the brothel are all human sperm, with very poisonous eyes. People who are good at painting are best at observing the subtleties of people. Only by observing the characteristics of this person different from others can they draw accurately. portrait."
Qi Shu was speechless for a moment.
Xu Yunchu said, "The face looks so flawless that even the bustards in the brothel thought it was the third young master Shen. It can be seen that not only the demeanor, but also the actions and words are very similar to him. Especially Shen Qi, apart from stepping Outside the Hongfen building, they don't set foot in other brothels, so, if they don't get close to such subtleties, the bustards will naturally not be able to see them, and they don't know." The person who knows Shen Qi and is extremely familiar with it? Otherwise, you can't imitate the expression too much."
Ye Chang said, "It's hard to say."
Qi Shu said, "Apart from our brothers, who else is he familiar with? Everyone in Jingyanghou's Mansion is dead! In addition, this happened before the accident in Jingyanghou's Mansion, after which Shen Qi died So, that Jiang Mu didn't show up, did he?"
Ye Xidao, "Personate Shen Qi's name, change her name to Jiang Mu, and hang out in various brothels, what's the purpose?"
Ye Chang said, "I go to the Candle Show the most, and the others must be a cover, which is the purpose."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xi immediately asked, "You went to that deserted courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing today, did you find anything?"
Ye Chang shook his head and said, "I didn't find anything."
Ye Xi glanced at the sky, and said, "It's noon, and I've been tired for half a day. I've gained something here. Since you haven't found anything, just check it out slowly. I won't waste time here with you." , he asked Su Fengnuan, "Junior Sister, are you going back home?"
Su Fengnuan glanced at Ye Chang and said, "I'm going to the palace to change the medicine for the second prince later, what are your plans?"
Ye Chang said, "Go home with your cousin first. After lunch, rest for a while before Qian Han can accompany you into the palace. Uncle Xiao Guo and I will investigate this case. Later, I will go to the mansion of the head of the country with him Meet Guozhang and see what Guozhang has to say."
Su Fengnuan looked at Xu Yunchu.
Xu Yunchu nodded, "Ye Shizi and I will go to the Guozhang's Mansion to have lunch with Grandpa."
Su Fengnuan nodded, and together with Ye Xi and Qi Shu, went back to Rong An Palace.
On the way, Qi Shu couldn't figure it out, and said to the two, "Who would take the name of Shen Qi? Isn't this too strange? Why don't other people take the name, but take his name?"
Ye Xi said, "It must be someone close."
Qi Shu said, "I think so too."
Su Fengnuan said, "It's not necessarily someone who is too close, otherwise they have never changed their looks exactly the same in the subtleties, and it may be because they don't know that Shen Qi has this characteristic."
Qi Shu said, "Familiar, but not too close. If so, who could it be?"
Su Fengnuan said, "The people behind it are too scheming, but it's not that there are no clues to check, sooner or later."
Qi Shu nodded.
Back at Prince Rong'an's Mansion, after lunch, Su Fengnuan called for He Zhi.
He Zhi came to the painting hall, bowed to Su Fengnuan, then sat down and said, "Miss Xu's bones are really hard, she has been tortured to the point of being unbearable, but she still hasn't let go."
Su Fengnuan said, "Don't worry, she won't last long. I came to you because I have other business."
He Zhi said "Oh?" and looked at her.
Su Fengnuan said, "You have also lived in the capital since you were young. Although you have little contact with Shen Qi, what about Jiang Mu? Have you had any contact?"
He Zhi heard the words, "Are you talking about Shen Qi's pseudonym Jiang Mu?"
Su Fengnuan nodded, "Yes."
He Zhi asked, "I know two Jiangmu, which one are you talking about?"
Su Fengnuan was taken aback, "Two Jiangmu? Which two?"
He knew, "One is Jiang Mu, whom I met many years ago when I first entered the brothel. I met him twice in a hurry. Later, I met another Jiang Mu, and I dealt with him several times."
Su Fengnuan frowned, "It's the same Jiang Mu, what's the difference?"
He knew, "The former Jiang Mu blushed when he saw a woman, and the latter Jiang Mu, when the woman bumped into his arms, his expression remained unchanged."
"Oh?" Su Fengnuan raised his eyebrows.
He knew, "Back then, I was still young. Although I was burdened with the darkness in my heart and fell into the brothel, I was also at an age where I was sensitive and curious about everything. Especially, when I first met me and entered the brothel, I was chased by girls because of shyness and embarrassment. The person who ran out made my memory deep, so I remembered him."
"And then?" Su Fengnuan asked.
He knew, "Then the second time I saw him, it was still the same. I only saw him twice. Later, when I saw him again, I found that he threw himself into the arms of a woman, and his face did not change. He looked like a different person."
Su Fengnuan narrowed his eyes, "What about after that?"
He knew, "After that, I saw him riding horses with Ye Shizi, the second son of An Guogong's mansion, and the little county king of Pingjun Wangfu, so I knew he was Shen Qi, the third son of Shen."
Su Fengnuan said, "The Shen Qi you know, but Jiang Mu later?"
He Zhi shook his head, "Although we all live in Beijing, I belong to the courtier's family, and they are noble children. I have no intersection with Ye Shizi, Shen Sangongzi and others, so I don't know if I am alone. In short, Jiang Mu is Two people."
Su Fengnuan remembered that Ye Chang said that Shen Qi had a hidden disease, but was later cured by the doctor Meng, and it was indeed a big deal for the man not to lift. He went to brothels a few times and wanted to rely on women for medical treatment, which is understandable. He has never set foot in a brothel, and has unspeakable flaws on his body, so he will naturally blush in embarrassment. It can be seen that the previous Jiang Mu was undoubtedly Shen Qi.
And the latter one, after Shen Qi recovered from her illness, she used his reputation to go to the brothel. This one is naturally not Shen Qi.
She thought for a moment, looked at He and knew, "You hang out at the fireworks all year round, what kind of man goes to such a place, but doesn't change his face when he faces a woman in his arms?"
He knew, "You are really asking the right person. There are two kinds of people, one is people who are used to love affairs, and the other is women."
"Huh?" Su Fengnuan was taken aback.
He knew, "People who are used to love affairs are familiar with brothel women's tricks, but since they are looking for fun, even if they see through it, they will laugh and cooperate. But women, we are all women, no matter how beautiful they are. Hug, is it useful?"
With a bang in Su Fengnuan's head, Mao Sai suddenly realized, and said with a smile, "You are right. According to this, you have dealt with Jiang Mu several times later, and you also think he is a woman who has changed his face?"
He knows, "A man is a man, and a woman is a woman. If you change the appearance, you can't change the inside. I have seen countless women's pink color, is it a woman, no matter how seamless the disguise is, even if you can deceive others, Can't hide it from my eyes."
Su Feng said warmly, "So, Jiang Mu is undoubtedly a woman?"
He Zhi corrected, "The next one is Jiang Mu."
Su Fengnuan said, "Since you have dealt with her several times, do you know why she disguised herself as Jiang Mu?"
He Zhi shook his head, "I don't know."
Su Fengnuan said, "Then what do you know? Tell me about her. For example, her identity, she is from Beijing, which brothel usually goes to the most, and what is special about her behavior?"
He Zhi shook his head, "I have met her quite a few times. If we talk about real dealings, it is only a few times. As for the others, I can't tell. People's secrets must be investigated, and they dare not cause unnecessary trouble. But any woman who goes in and out of such a place and hides her identity must have an ulterior secret."
Su Fengnuan nodded, "You are right. If you provoked me at the beginning, you might be dead now. How can you sit here and talk to me like this?"
He Zhi nodded, seeing that Su Fengnuan had nothing else to ask, and left the painting hall.
After He Zhi left, Su Fengnuan had someone call Sese over.
Seeing Su Fengnuan, Sese wiped off her sweat and said, "The elders of Bixuan Pavilion sent the seniors out of the capital, I went to see them off, and I just came back."
Su Fengnuan reached out and pulled her sleeve, and smelled it between his nose.
Sese was startled, "Girl, do I bring back any special smell?"
Su Fengnuan asked, "What kind of gouache did you use?"
Sese laughed immediately when she heard the words, "Didn't the girl never use rouge and gouache? Why? Now you also love this?" After saying that, she said, "I use the jade fragrance from Fanghuazhai on Ronghua Street."
