Daniu opened the door. Shu Yu came in and said, “Pack up and put on the curtain hat. We’re going back.”
“Did you get the painting?” Yuan Shanchuan asked anxiously.
Shu Yu nodded. “I got it.”
Yuan Shanchuan let out a long breath and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He finally felt relieved.
The three of them didn’t have much. Shu Yu only had a bag when she came over. Now, she put all the messy things and Yuan Shanchuan’s original clothes in it. He could pick it up and leave.
Wearing curtained hats, no one could tell who they were.
Yuan Shanchuan’s shoes were a little damaged and dirty, so it was easy to recognize him. Unfortunately, Shu Yu had brought clothes and shoes that he
could wear, but Yuan Shanchuan’s feet were bigger, so there was nothing suitable for him.
He had dipped a cloth in some water to wipe his shoes, but it still did not match his outfit.
Fortunately, when Meng Yunzheng was there, he changed the color of his shoes with a paintbrush and drew some patterns on the damaged parts. It looked different from the original.
The three of them quickly left the private room and went down to the second floor. They met up with Zhao Xi, who was waiting there, and then went to the hall in front.
Meng Yunzheng had already called the waiter to lead the way. When they met, they did not even say anything and followed the waiter out of the courtyard.
When they reached the place where the carriage was parked, they gave each of them a wooden token and led their carriage out.
The two carriages reached the bamboo forest without slowing down.
It was not until they were about to reach the county gate that Meng Yunzheng asked Zhao Xi to drive the carriage to the side and then got off.
Shu Yu had also come down. She had not had the chance to speak earlier, and now that there were only a few of them left, she asked, “You said earlier that you came here to auction items. Now that you’re leaving the black market, what about the auction items?”
Meng Yunzheng smiled and said, “There’s nothing more important than this painting now. To avoid any more trouble, it’s better to take the painting back first.
“Although the painting that was swapped was made to look like this one, if they looked at it carefully, they would still recognize it. At that time, they would naturally suspect us. We can’t continue to stay in the black market.
Auction item…There will still be opportunities in the future.”
Zhao Xi, who was standing behind him, wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he did not say anything.
Meng Yunzheng had already handed the painting to Shu Yue The latter was stunned and heard him say, “This painting was painstakingly protected by your Fourth Uncle. He should give it to Lord Xiang. Firstly, you can save your aunt as soon as possible. Secondly, your fourth uncle has contributed. Lord Xiang will naturally reward him.”
Shu Yu turned her head and glanced at Yuan Shanchuan. The latter took a few steps forward and bowed deeply to Meng Yunzheng. “Thank you, Mr. Shan.”
Meng Yunzheng smiled and said, “No need. I’m not doing it all for you.
Alright, let’s part ways here. Return to the city as soon as possible.”
Shu Yu was surprised. “You’re not going back to the county?”
Meng Yunzheng looked in the direction of the black market bamboo forest.
“Since Shu Feng has appeared here, I can follow his trail and dig down. Maybe I can dig up more things.”
How did Shu Feng come to the black market? Which other forces in the Dongan Province belonged to the Shu family? Who was the buyer who helped him get in? Meng Yunzheng naturally wouldn’t miss this rare opportunity.
At this moment, Shu Feng had not come out yet. He was blocked by Zhao Xi previously. If he continued to go out, he would attract attention.
But Meng Yunzheng believed that they would come out in no more than fifteen minutes..
