Chapter 357

"Yes." Duan Li nodded, "He said they belonged to him and told me not to move."

Lord Rong hummed.

"What is the relationship between the person who cured Duan Yu's disease and the child you hired?"

"It doesn't seem to matter. I made a side note. That child doesn't know about Duan Yu's illness, let alone when he will recover."

"What? Last time, didn't you say that the child knew the expert that Prince Duan's mansion was looking for?" Prince Rong was a little impatient.

"Yes, but it turned out that it was not what they said. That child had only been in contact with that expert. I heard from her that she once gave dry food to an old man who was begging for food. Such things happened every day in the villages and towns near Kyoto. It happened, so I can't explain it. I think the Duan Palace is trying to cover up something by using this to talk about the matter. Otherwise, that child really has something to do with an expert, so why would they go all over the world to find someone, and just start with that child. "

Lord Rong nodded slightly, but said nothing.

Duan Li continued.

"In addition, Duan Yu cared so much about that child, it may be on purpose. Of course, there are also emotional factors."

"It was also taught by his father on purpose." Prince Rong said indifferently, "What do you mean by emotional factors?"

"I heard that the younger sister of the pair of brothers and sisters was lost. My brother went to look for it, and I met Duan Yu. They came back together and got along all the way. Because of this Duan Yu, he regarded them as his own."

Lord Rong agreed. For a ten-year-old child, it is normal for a ten-year-old child to be accompanied by his peers under such circumstances.

"How about that child? If it's good, you can win it over." Lord Rong said casually.

The corners of Duan Li's eyes twitched imperceptibly. Of course he knew that Lord Rong didn't mean to be interested in Zhang Xiaohua, but simply to add trouble to Duan Wangfu.

"This..." Duan Li hesitated.

"what happened?"

"It doesn't seem necessary."

"Why is this?"

"That child is a bit fat, not very good looking, even ugly, but can tell some short stories and draw pictures. I asked her to draw a picture book, which sold very well. My brother looks good. , but did not go to school." Duan Li introduced the situation of Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Daniu very pertinently.

"It was you who made the book worth thousands of gold a few days ago?" Lord Rong thought about it.

He had heard of it too, but didn't know the details.

There are too many new things happening in Kyoto every day. It seems that Zhang Xiaohua's picture books are selling very well in Kyoto. In fact, that is just a saying. It is still among young people and children. At his age, it is impossible for him to pay attention to such things. of.

It's also quite a modern day manga, middle-aged uncles rarely like the same.

Duan Li was a little embarrassed.

"Yes, I did."

He explained his way of selling picture books, implying that Zhang Xiaohua's picture books are not important, what is important is that his marketing methods are powerful, only by highlighting himself can Zhang Xiaohua be covered up.

This is also his protection for Zhang Xiaohua.

When Prince Rong heard this, he would think that he was showing off his ability to please his father.

In fact, Lord Rong really thinks so. Duan Li is 16 years old. It is normal for such a young boy to have such thoughts. It is not normal if he does not.

Of course, such abilities are just child's play in his eyes, and he doesn't care.

Anything that does not help his great cause is not worth caring about.

Hearing the money for selling the picture books, Prince Rong said.

"The Prince's Mansion won't accept this money, so let's treat it as half a year's funding for you. If you still have to entrust someone else to do such a thing in the future, don't get involved in such meaningless things."

Duan Li sneered in his heart, Wei Wangfu did things but spent the money he earned, what is the difference between this and not accepting it?
But it doesn't make sense to say anything, what a good face!
But he still responded respectfully on the surface.

"Go ahead and continue to track down the murderer. I don't limit the time, but I also hope that you can find the murderer as soon as possible, instead of wasting other things!" Prince Rong's voice was a little cold.

Duan Yu responded immediately.

"Yes, my lord!" Withdrew.

Prince Rong pondered for a while, and ordered people to inquire about the picture book Duan Li mentioned.

When the painting book was in front of him, he flipped through it and was a little surprised by Zhang Xiaohua's painting style, but he was just surprised and not interested.

In his opinion, although Zhang Xiaohua's paintings are good, they are far behind those famous painters, let alone those painters. Such paintings may only be liked by young people.

Naturally, no matter how young people like it, they will not spend so much money on such books. The reason why they sell such books at such ridiculous prices is due to Duan Li's powerful marketing methods.

When Prince Rong thought about it, he put the picture book aside and asked about Zhang Xiaohua's appearance.

In his opinion, the most important thing for a woman is her appearance. As long as she is beautiful, no matter whether she is born noble or humble, he may fly on a branch and become a phoenix.

Conversely, if a woman doesn't have a good face, even if she has a beautiful heart, it's useless.

Neixiu, gentleness, temperament, etc. The premise of everything is to have a good face to be seen by others, otherwise you are a flower inside and no one likes you.

Duan Li said that Zhang Xiaohua was ugly, so he was skeptical. Men are naturally possessive of beautiful women, no matter how old they are.

He is also a man and understands this psychology.

Unexpectedly, the inquiring situation turned out to be the same as what Duan Li said.

Zhang Xiaohua is obese and ugly, she is completely a country girl.

After hearing this, Lord Rong completely lost interest in Zhang Xiaohua.

As for Zhang Daniu, a country boy who didn't study, so what if he was from Duan Wang's mansion, Duan Wang's mansion wanted it.

Lord Rong no longer cares about this matter.

Duan Li knew that Prince Rong would send someone to verify his words, so he was not worried, because what he said were all facts—superficial facts.

Coming out of Lord Rong's study, he saw Duan Wen's person standing not far away, and saw him walking over.

When Duan Li stepped forward to salute, the other party twisted his chin coldly and arrogantly.

"Let's go, Mr. Li, Shizi has been waiting for a long time." He walked forward.

This is also to be expected.

Duan Li responded respectfully like he did to Prince Rong, and followed respectfully.

It was the same barren yard as last time, Duan Wen was still sitting on the porch, just covered with a blanket, but this time there was no book, but a small stove, and a burly man was making tea.

Duan Li stepped forward to salute.

"Duan Li has seen the prince."

"Any news?" Duan Wen leaned against the cushion, without even looking at Duan Li.

"I had an accident, I haven't checked it yet..."

As soon as he said this, Duan Wen suddenly threw the kettle on the stove at Duan Li.

Fortunately, his waist was injured, and Duan Li was not standing very close. The water bottle didn't hit Duan Li, but fell on Duan Li's feet, shattered and splashed water all over his body.
