Qin Hanzhen didn't know what to say for a while. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info King Liao, as Zhao Shuo's biological father, wants to frame his son, it is not enough to forge letters, but also wants to deceive and use his grandson to put a real seal on the fake letter, so that the fake letter becomes a true letter. is so deliberate, as if he is afraid that his son will not die fast enough, and it is rare to be ruthless to this extent.

And, wouldn't that be too much of a hassle?

Qin Hanzhen looked at the letter and was a little puzzled: "Although the King of Liao handed the letter to the two girls and asked them to sneak into your father's place to steal the seal and seal it, it can greatly reduce the risk of being discovered after stealing the seal, but letting them steal it is already a very dangerous thing in itself." Does he have to do this? This letter alone is enough, right? If the King of Liao just wants your father to lose his holy family and not be able to enter the royal family, it is enough to put a basin of specious sewage on his head, so why do you do this?"

Zhao Mo didn't have any expression on his face: "I don't know why he can be so ruthless, after all, he no longer regards his father as his son." He paused for a moment before continuing, "It is also possible that the prince is just trying to make this letter more credible, because my father usually corresponds with people, and as long as it is a private message, he will definitely stamp it with a private seal." Those who knew him well knew this, and if anyone tried to order his subordinates to do something in his name by letter, without a private seal, he would not be able to win the trust of those people. My mother once mentioned before her death that my father had suffered the loss of the princess because of this kind of thing in the past, and he was extra careful since then. ”

In this way, the step-concubine of the king of Liao once used fake letters to calculate Zhao Shuo, so Zhao Shuo developed the habit of stamping a private seal in the private letter, and now when the step-concubine of the king of Liao wants to repeat the old trick, because of the problem of the private seal, is it not so easy to calculate on his head?

Qin Hanzhen sighed twice and asked Zhao Mo: "Is it difficult to forge your father's private seal?" Actually, I think that the king of Liao specially asked the girl to steal the private seal and stamp a fake letter, which is more troublesome than carving a fake seal himself. In case your father finds out when stealing a private seal, how can you explain this? Rather than taking such a big risk, it is more convenient to make a fake seal. ”

Zhao Mo can better understand his grandfather's thoughts: "My father's private seal is used in his own private letters, but if it is written to the prince or someone in the palace, this seal will not be stamped." I think most of the princes just know what this seal looks like, and they want to make it exactly the same, but they may not be able to get it accurately. Anyway, the real seal is also in the capital, and there is no way to stretch out his hand, so the prince simply sent someone to steal the real thing, right? After all, it is difficult to get my father to write a letter according to his wishes, but it is very simple to steal a seal and stamp the letter on the spot. As long as the hands and feet were neat, my father would not have noticed that the private seal had ever been touched. ”

Qin Hanzhen suddenly realized, this also makes sense. She looked down at the letter and sighed: "Now you have taken out the fake letter and replaced it with a more fake one, what are you going to do next? Do you take those two girls to your father and let them really steal the seal and stamp it, or do you plan to let your father arrest them? If you can catch the current one, the conspiracy of the Liao King to frame his parents and children will be exposed, right? If he tries to do this trick in the future, others will not believe him." ”

Zhao Mo shook his head: "I haven't discussed it with my father yet, I don't know what he thinks." Telling the truth and suing the prince can certainly wash away his innocence, but it is not a glorious thing for the father to harm the son and the son to sue the father. My father has always pretended to be a father and a son in front of outsiders, for fear that outsiders will say that the father and son of King Liao are not in harmony, and he is suspected of being unfilial. This time, he may not be able to make up his mind to make the truth of the matter public. He knew what his father was, and even if he hadn't discussed it with Zhao Shuo, he could probably guess what the other party would think.

Qin Hanzhen only felt that this idea was stupid. There is obviously evidence to prove that the other party has done evil, but he still has to scruple about this and that, and help the perpetrator hide the truth. This is only an indulgence to the evildoers. The connived evildoer may not change his ways, but may become more emboldened and harm others again.

Qin Hanzhen said to Zhao Mo: "Where can this kind of thing be hidden? There has never been a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days." This time, the King of Liao calculated your father, and he was lucky to avoid it, but what about the next time? If he still wants to climb up, he should remove all the hidden dangers as soon as possible. He doesn't care about his future and safety, and he doesn't bother you as an innocent person!"

Zhao Mo smiled, smiling very warmly: "Don't worry, cousin, I will find a way to persuade my father not to be soft-hearted." The smile on his face faded, "After all, this time, the prince and the princess really want to kill him." None of them thought about being soft, so why should my father be soft-hearted?"

Qin Hanzhen sighed: "King Liao's thoughts are also incomprehensible. The step-concubine is quite understandable, she originally saw that your father was not pleasing to the eye, and she wanted to get rid of him so that she could grab the position of the son of the world for her son. But what is the King of Liao's intentions? Whether your father can join the royal family or not, there is no harm to him, right? Maybe there will be benefits. He doesn't want to see your father anymore, and at most he doesn't want your father to have a smooth life in the capital, so he only needs to tell the emperor that he doesn't want to pass on his stepson, and he doesn't ask your father to be crowned a son, and it's over. Does he need to get some kind of fake letters and fake certificates to frame your father? Even if he can really harm your father, as the leader of the Liaodong Army, he will be charged with negligence and dereliction of duty, right? You also said that this kind of smuggling of military funds is very common in Liaodong, but he just pretends not to know. In case the imperial court sent someone to Liaodong to investigate thoroughly because of that fake letter, would he still be able to wash himself clean? The risk was too great. What the hell is he trying to do?!"

Zhao Mo also felt strange, what did the King of Liao want? The imperial court had not noticed these secrets in the Liaodong Army, what benefit could he get if he took the initiative to confess? If he wanted the second son to take the place of the eldest son, not only the position of the prince of the world, but also the qualifications to enter the royal family, it would be too unwise to do so. Because once he is convicted of negligence and dereliction of duty, his son will definitely be implicated. When the time comes, how can we talk about joining the royal family? I'm afraid that I won't even be able to compete for the position of the prince!

Zhao Mo said to Qin Hanzhen: "I always feel that there are other people behind this who are making trouble. Otherwise, my father didn't provoke the prince or anything, and he had a tacit understanding with the prince and princess, but the prince and princess suddenly turned their faces, which really made people incomprehensible. He looked at the fake letter in Qin Hanzhen's hand, "And this letter, I can't believe that the prince came up with it." The prince has never liked readers, and he is tired of even the books, pen and ink that readers like. Once upon a time when I was in Liaodong, whenever he saw me studying, he would definitely scold me a few words. There are almost no staff members in the Liao Wang's Mansion, and those who serve as staff members are actually military attaches in the army. Because the subordinate officials of the palace were sent by the imperial court, the prince felt that they were the eyes and ears of the imperial court, and he didn't want to be close at all, and the number of times he saw them every year could be counted on ten fingers. With the temperament of the prince, it is really surprising that he can still find a master and forge such a letter that is almost chaotic. ”

Qin Hanzhen looked down at the letter in his hand, and felt that it was not easy for this letter to be made so realistically. Even Zhao Mo, his biological son, couldn't tell that the letter was fake, if it weren't for Zhao Shuo's repeated statement that he hadn't done such a thing, he would have thought that his father had really written this letter. No wonder Zhao Mo wanted to wrap the letter out, it was really too convincing, once it was presented to the emperor, it would not be easy for Zhao Shuo to defend himself. If it is said that the King of Liao is really a big man who is not used to reading people, he will come up with this method and make this kind of evidence, and there is indeed some discord in the style of painting. According to his style, he should have just rudely and simply got two witnesses, at most an account book, and it would be over, right? A fake letter that has been forged very real feels more like a scholar's trick.

Qin Hanzhen shook his head and wanted to put the letter back in the envelope, but suddenly felt something unusual, so he twisted the letter in his hand a few times: "This letter ...... It seems to be thicker than regular letterhead? Is it special paper?"

Zhao Mo was stunned, took the letter and read it again, and also twisted the paper with his fingers: "Although it feels quite thick, I can't see anything special......"

Qin Hanzhen said with certainty: "My grandfather taught me to recognize paper before. Among the things he pulled out of the C-word vault, there was a lot of paper, all kinds of things. Some are no longer usable, some are still usable. My grandfather taught me the same thing, telling me what kind of paper I could use for what and what kind of paper would last longer. This paper ...... At first glance, it looks like an ordinary shengxuan, which should be from Jing County, but it seems to be slightly thicker than the ordinary Jingxian shengxuan. In short, it's very distinctive. If you are based on this feature, I wonder if you will be able to find out the source of the paper? Don't you suspect that there are other people behind the Liao King? Maybe you can find out some clues from the stationery of this letter?"

Zhao Mo touched the letter paper and shook his head silently: "Instead of working the paper, I might as well find a way to find out who the prince has been in contact with." This paper ...... It's probably just that the person who forged the letter took it casually, and he might not be able to find any clues. It is also a life propaganda from Jing County...... If it is Jiajiang bamboo paper, maybe it can still be suspected of the king of Shu. There are too many people using rice paper, what can I find?"

Qin Hanzhen smiled and said: "If it was really the King of Shu who did it, he wouldn't have used Jiajiang bamboo paper? Isn't that obviously suspicious? Unless your father is used to using Jiajiang bamboo paper on weekdays." ”

Zhao Mo shook his head: "My father is more accustomed to using jade button paper on weekdays, which is also bamboo paper, but it is not produced in Shuzhong, but from Fujian." He said that the jade button paper is as white as jade, and he writes on it, and the ink does not fade for a long time, and he uses it most smoothly, so he loves to use it since he was a child. I heard that when my grandmother was alive, she also liked to use jade button paper, which must have been learned by my father from my grandmother? I remember my cousin mentioned that my uncle and grandfather of the Tang family also liked to use jade button paper. ”

Qin Hanzhen blinked, and asked him in a daze: "Since your father has loved to use jade button paper since he was a child, why did the King of Liao not use jade button paper when he made fake letters, but used Jingxian rice paper? The handwriting is so similar that he even has to make a real print, but he is so careless on the issue of paper, right?"

Zhao Mo was also stunned for a moment, and the two of them lowered their heads in unison, focusing on the forged letter.
