Xie Kai suddenly became interested, and hurriedly urged him to speak. Although Zhang Hui did not speak, he also paid attention to Yin Lu. Only then did Yin Lu talk about Huo Yandao's oil shop lawsuit in detail from beginning to end. At the end, he said, "This word is full of witnesses, and if it were someone else, it would not be possible to say that there is not the slightest doubt." However, this Huo shopkeeper is familiar to our family, and he is also righteous, and the grandmother of the Xu family is also a sincere and virtuous person. So no matter how you think about it, this lawsuit is strange. But there is such a word, which is really confusing and helpless. ”

After Yin Lu finished speaking, he looked at Xie Kaizhang back. saw the two of them looking at each other, and their faces showed strange colors. Yin Lu was taken aback, and hurriedly asked Xie Kai what was wrong. Xie Kai shook his head and didn't answer, but Zhang Hui got up and walked out of the room, and after a while, he came in with a thin piece of paper and put it on the table. Yin Lu looked at it, but saw that the content of the text was the same as what Huo Yandao, the shopkeeper of the pioneer oil shop, said, and couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, and asked, "Where did the two young masters get this object?"

Zhang replied: "It was Li Pu from the Yingtian County Clerk's Office who just sent it and asked Mr. Li about the ink color of the paper. Mr. was sick and did not dare to break it immediately, so he told him to stay first and take a closer look in the afternoon. Father Yin said, is this the evidence?"

Yin Lu nodded yes. Then he asked, "But what did Mr. Li say?"

Xie Kai said: "This paper is ink-colored, and it is all old. Although the time is not easy to recognize, it is more than three or five years to say the least. There is also a signature and a drawing, and sure enough, it can't be seen as fake. It's just that I think the paper is very rough. According to you, the Huo family and boy are unbearable to read, but they always think of themselves as masters, but this kind of paper is not supposed to be used. ”

Yin Lu was a little happy when he heard this: "Young master's words are quite reasonable, why don't you go to the book of Li?"

Zhang Hui shook his head and said: "Although it is reasonable, it is only an inference, not a real evidence." Besides, according to the Huo family, this note was established fifteen years ago. At that time, Huo Yandao had just taken down the oil shop, and his family background was not what it is today, and there was no suspicion that the Huo family used inferior paper. ”

Seeing that Xie Kai couldn't distinguish between these words, Yin Lu couldn't help but sigh: "In this way, the Huo family's lawsuit can only be based on this word." ”

Xie Kai said: "I don't think so." If the situation of the Huo family is really as you said, the father and brothers are not successful, and their words and deeds are arrogant, and someone in their neighborhood should know the situation back then, whether the family has a hundred taels of surplus wealth. There is also Huo Yandao under the oil shop, although Lao Liu's shopkeeper is not there, his contract and the person who sees it should still be there, which can also be evidenced. And then there is his insider, the Xu family, who has stolen the gold beads, and whether the redemption of the dead bill must be there, he can also try to find it. After a few strokes, you will know that money comes and goes. ”

Yin Lu nodded again and again, and responded, "That's true." I should tell the shopkeeper Huo. ”

Xie Kai smiled when he heard this, and turned his head back to Zhang. But seeing Zhang back the note, he looked at it repeatedly, and there seemed to be hesitation on his face. Xie Kaiqi said: "What's the matter? You actually see the difference? This paper has a flaw?"

Zhang Hui shook his head and said, "I don't know anything about this, I don't know if it's good or bad." Just looking at the words, I always feel that there is something wrong. ”

Xie Kai said with a smile: "It's not wrong to think about it, but the text is rough, and it can't be seen by your chapter and chapter public." But even with such shallow words, it can also be seen that the level of the Huo family's father and brother is high, no wonder he is still a child who can't touch the door of the mansion. ”

Zhang replied: "This text is indeed unscrutinized and very shallow. But the words and sentences are also simple and clear, and the time, things, people involved, and money delivery are all very clear. If it can be polished, it may not be impossible to make a good article. ”

Xie Kai suddenly laughed: "I know that you usually prefer this plain and shallow text, but now you don't even let go of this." But if you dare to say so, I want you to change it. ”

Zhang replied: "Change but not busy." But there must be something suspicious in this note, and I can't think of it for a while. ”

Xie Kai was really surprised, got up and went to the close place of Zhang Hui, and carefully looked at the notes on the table. Read: "Today, there is a child Huo Xue, a 'oil head Liu' sesame oil candle wax shop, three front and back rooms, seven main houses, five on the side, and two apprentices. Household goods, utensils, and materials are complete. The discounted silver is two hundred and seven hundred and seventy-eight dollars. There is still a shortage of silver one hundred and four taels. Ask for a loan from his father, Hodgen. Huo Degen had seventy-five taels of silver, which was insufficient, so he borrowed fifteen taels of silver from Cao Drunken Monkey and Sun You to the west, making up one hundred and four taels, and borrowed them from Huo Xue. Because the matter involves a foreign surname, it is hereby established. September 22 of the second year of Jingding. ”

Xie Kai read this and said with a smile: "He's also interesting, Tete is here to add, if there is no matter of Cao and Sun, there will be no loan between his father and son?"

Zhang Hui shook his head: "I don't know this." While continuing to read: "Borrowing the master: Huo Xue." Borrowed: one hundred and four taels of silver. Lender: Hodgen. Here is a note: Huo Degen only has 75 taels of silver, and he borrowed 15 taels of silver from Cao Zuihou and 15 taels of silver from Sun You, which is a sufficient number. Borrowing the Lord Baoshan: Qiu Mingduan. The following borrower, lender, and Baoshan signed and pledged, and Li Zheng Shu Changfu signed and sealed. In the next two lines, I received Huo Cai's return of 15 taels of silver and 124 coins and 1 cent, Cao Drunken Monkey, the 19th day of the first month of the third year of Jingding, signed and painted a pledge; ”

Xie Kai said: "These are clear, what's wrong?"

Zhang Hui shook his head and didn't answer, while reciting silently, he paced behind him with his hands. Xie Kai only heard him repeatedly recite "Based on this, September of the second year of Jingding" and "Cao Drunken Monkey, the first month of the third year of Jingding; Sun You, July of the third year of Jingding", he couldn't help but quietly ask Yin Lu: "What's the matter? The money is wrong at this time? Shouldn't it be so high?"

Yin Lu also whispered: "If you take the market, this profit would be considered high fifteen years ago......"

Before he could say a word, Zhang Hui clapped his hands suddenly, turned around and forced them in front of the two, and said with a smile: "Daddy Yin, it really has to be you!

Yin Lu was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, and Xie Kai was even more surprised, so he grabbed it and asked, "What?

Zhang Hui shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't know how much money I have." However, Daddy Yin just said 'fifteen years ago', but it shows that there is a significant loophole in this document. Xie Kai, Xie Qizhuang, let me ask you, do you know that Sage Kong was named in the past dynasties?"

Xie Kai was stunned for a moment, and first said: "Where is this a problem?" Then he was solemn, lowered his hand and said: "Confucius's name is Qiu, the word Zhongni, the sage is seventy-two, and the teacher of the world is respected later." When he died, Lu Ai's father said, 'Min Tian does not hang, he does not leave an old man behind, he is more than one person in power, and he is still guilty, and he is mourning! 'To be honored as a nun is a good name. In the first year of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Ping was awarded the title of "Baocheng Xuanni" and was awarded the title of duke. In the sixteenth year of Taihe of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Xiaowen respected the 'Wen Shengni'. In the second year of the elephant of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Jing was named 'Zou Guogong'. In the first year of Emperor Kaihuang of Sui, Emperor Wen of Sui respected 'the first master and nun father'. In the second year of Tang Zhenguan, Taizong respected the 'first saint', and in the eleventh year he was renamed 'Xuanfu'. In the first year of Qianfeng, Gaozong gave Confucius the 'Taishi'. In the first year of Wu Zhou Tianshou, Wu Zetian named Confucius as the 'Duke of Longdao' and conferred the title of duke. In the twenty-seventh year of Tang Kaiyuan, Xuanzong was named "King Wenxuan", and his prince was the same as King Wu and King Cheng of Zhou Tianzi. In the third year of Renzong of Western Xia, Renzong issued an edict saying: "Respect Confucius as Emperor Wenxuan, and order the state and county to set up temples, and the palace is magnificent, and it is like the imperial system." After the Southern Song Dynasty, Li Zheng broke the Jin Dynasty, although there were only three generations, but in the second year of Tianhua, the sixth year of Jiabao, and the eleventh year of Dingtai, three "Emperor Wenxuan" were honored, and the temple was established. To my Dayong, respect Confucius Fuli, although not like the previous dynasty to add the emperor's name, but in the first year of Yinghua, Emperor Xuan on Confucius honored the title of 'Dacheng Most Holy'; in the third year of Desheng, Emperor Cheng was named 'Dacheng Wenxuan Wang'; in the first year of Emperor Xiang's Jinghe, he was named 'the most holy teacher'; in the second year of Emperor Kang's Jingyuan, he was named 'Dacheng Most Holy Teacher', and changed the descendants of Confucius since the Tang Dynasty 'Xiang Shenghou' to 'Yan Shenggong'. In the first month of the fourth year of Emperor Jingding, he was named the "Dacheng Most Holy Wenxuan Ancestor", rebuilt the Nanjing Confucian Temple, Shandong Qufu Confucian Temple and Shenjing Confucian Temple, and set the four o'clock sacrificial ceremony. After speaking, Xie Kai breathed a long sigh of relief, and smiled back at Zhang: "What, what did I say?"

Zhang Hui stroked his palm: "Sure enough, it is worthy of Xie Qizhuang, well-read and knowledgeable, and there is no first in Mingyang Academy." ”

Xie Kai smiled and asked, "But what does this article have to do with your so-called important loopholes in the evidence?"

Zhang Hui smiled: "There is no relationship between China and China. Qizhuang, you just said that in the first month of the fourth year of Emperor Jingding, he posthumously sealed Confucius and rebuilt the Temple of Literature, but do you still remember that at the same time, there is a will, which is to avoid saints?"

Xie Kai was stunned for a moment, but then remembered: "Yes, that's exactly the case." In order to avoid the sage's ridicule and write the text, 'Qiu' needs to lack a pen. At the same time, in "Hundred Family Names", 'Qiu' was changed to 'Qiu', borrowing the zigzag of 'Qiu' in the Yi Department - ah!" Speaking of this, Xie Kai shouted suddenly, picked up the note on the table, and pointed directly to the name of Baoshan in it. "Qiu Mingduan, Qiu Mingduan, there is a 'yi' on the right side of 'Qiu' here, which is exactly the word 'Qiu'! However, the emperor's will to avoid the saints was only issued in the fourth year of Jingding, and what ability did this small township school master have, and he learned about it in September of the second year of Jingding!"

Zhang Hui smiled and said, "That's right." The addition of the 'Qiu' and 'Yi' parts of the surname was 13 years ago, and how did the character 'Qiu' be written in the transcript 15 years ago? It can be seen that it must have been forged by later generations. Xiang Yin Lu said, "Daddy Yin, it can be seen that it was your words that woke up this insight." ”

Xie Kai smiled: "It's really good." Yin Lu, you go back and tell your friend as soon as possible so that he doesn't have to worry. ”

Yin Lu heard it all the way, and he was already dizzy, but his friend was fine, and he smiled for a while, and said with a smile: "Exactly, I'll talk to him!"

Zhang replied: "Wait. Not busy. Xiang Xie Kai said, "This note was sent by Li Shuban to Mr. Li to verify the authenticity, and since we see the flaw, we might as well tell Mr. first, and then transfer it to Li Shu's office." Moreover, although there is a mistake in the text on this note, even Mr. Li could not immediately recognize the ink-colored paper, which shows that it is not an ordinary handwriting, let alone a light one. Therefore, if Huo's lawsuit is to be won completely, some twists and turns may be prevented. ”

When Xie Kai and Yin Lu heard this, they suddenly felt a shock, and then said yes again and again. The three of them discussed again and planned carefully, and then went from the wing room to the main house to find Mr. Li.

Three days later, Yingtian County opened a government office to judge the lawsuit of Huojia Oil Shop. In the court, Zhang Xianling pointed out the fallacy of the word "Qiu" on the note, concluded the facts of the case, and convicted and punished the plaintiffs Huo's father and son, as well as the Cao, Sun, and Wang families who had perjured the case, and immediately made people happy. As for the later Zhang County Order, further tracing the source of the evidence, the person who made the fake was involved in a major case of fake painting in the capital, and he had to go to the top and rise to the top, which is a later story, and it is omitted here.

But he said that this chapter returned to Xie Kai, and served Mr. Li for a few days. Mr. Li's body gradually recovered, and several people moved out of the side courtyard of Bao'en Temple and returned to Mingyang Academy at the foot of Jilong Mountain. On this day, Zhang Hui Xie Kai finished his reading and was playing Go, when suddenly a gray-clothed servant came and sent Zhang Hui a letter home. If you want to know what Zhang said in the book of going home, what happened next, and listen to the next breakdown.
