Where did Zhao Shuo dare to say the word "mind"? Naturally, Zhao Mo searched for it.

Zhao Mo didn't call anyone else, but only called Rong'er, the scholar who was waiting in the study, and asked him if there was any place in this room where he could hide things? Especially a place that no one paid attention to on weekdays? It shouldn't be a place that he would visit every day, nor was it a particularly confidential place, but it looked like a place where the owner of the study would use to hide things.

Zhao Mo actually knew where the fake letter was hidden, but if he pointed it out directly, it would only make Zhao Shuo suspect that he had done something to this study, and it was not so easy to believe that all this was really a conspiracy of the Beirong people. Zhao Mo simply pretended to be completely unaware, and really searched around, anyway, things would always be revealed in the end.

Zhao Mo doesn't have to really climb up and down to do hard labor, he just needs to ask Rong'er and search some places in a targeted manner. This Rong'er has always waited in the study, but he is a responsible and careful servant, and after listening to Zhao Mo's question, he quickly provided several possible locations.

The first thing to mention is that the cabinet that Zhao Shuo used to store seals and other important items on weekdays has always been locked. If there is anything valuable, or an important letter, Zhao Shuo will put it in this cabinet. However, because Rong'er is very responsible, she often cleans this cabinet, and there are also times when she takes the key to open the lock and clean and organize some items in the cabinet, so after Zhao Mo asked Rong'er to open the cabinet, she did not find those fake letters.

Then Rong'er brought up a few "book boxes" that were made into a complete set of books and hidden in the dark grid. These "bookcases" look like books on the outside, with thin wooden boards covered with brocade packaging, and when opened, they are also books, but in fact the inside is hollowed out to hide small things. Speaking of which, these "bookboxes" are of little use on the table, in the past, Zhao Shuo held power in his hands, and when he was in the middle of the court, he used them to accept bribes, or secretly send some bribes to others. To outsiders, it is like a trivial matter of borrowing or giving away a few books, which is not noticeable, but in fact it is very rich inside. It's just that after they are used up, these "bookcases" will be useless for the time being, but it is difficult to guarantee whether they will be useful in the future. So Zhao Shuo casually abandoned them in the study, and Rong'er found a place to clean them up and store them casually.

Zhao Mo actually didn't expect that Zhao Shuo had collected such a thing, and he only felt that it was an eye-opener. It was something that none of his men could find. However, perhaps these "bookboxes" have long been put into idleness, and the dust on them has accumulated a lot of dust, not like something that Zhao Shuo still uses on weekdays, so they are not used, and they are all empty.

Then Rong'er mentioned a few inconspicuous hidden compartments, or places on the beams and pillars where items could be hidden, but no letters were found. Zhao Shuo was already a little dissatisfied, while secretly complaining that his scholar was ignorant and leaked all his secrets to his son, he began to wonder if what Zhao Mo said was true?

As soon as Zhao Mo saw his expression, he knew what he was thinking, but now it was almost time, so he didn't sell it anymore, pretending to find it by accident, and pointed to a half-old stationery box in the corner of the wall: "You haven't searched this thing yet, right? I see that it looks like it can also store things, open it and take a look." ”

Rong'er acted according to the order, and Zhao Shuo said impatiently: "That's the stationery box I used to use when I went to the yamen on an errand in the past, and it was just some pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, what could I store? !"

As soon as his words fell, Rong'er exclaimed: "Lord Shizi, Xiaojun Wang, there is something in the stationery box!"

"What?!" Zhao Shuo almost choked on saliva, "What's the matter?!"

Rong'er carefully took off the splint from the lid of the stationery suitcase, and secretly glanced at Zhao Shuo before taking out the stack of papers in the plywood. It was obviously a stack of letters, which looked quite similar to the forged letters that Zhao Mo brought.

In this stationery suitcase, there is also a mezzanine, which was used by Zhao Shuo in the past to hide some documents that are not easy to show in front of people. This is actually something that the Wang family prepared for him in the past. However, Zhao Shuo hadn't used it for a long time since he lost his errand. If Rong'er hadn't cleaned it up regularly, it might have been full of dust. Zhao Shuo himself really almost forgot that there was a mezzanine in this suitcase.

Zhao Shuo watched his son Zhao Mo take the letter, read it from beginning to end, chuckled, and handed it to himself. Zhao Shuo hurriedly took the letter and read it carefully, and before he finished reading a page, he couldn't help but let out a wail.

Sure enough, just like the letters in Zhao Mo's hand, he imitated the tone of his father and son, and wrote some taboo words, which made the emperor and the prince angry when they saw it. What is even more excessive than the letters in Zhao Mo's hand is that there are also letters between him and Lan Fusheng in these letters, proving that he once instructed Lan Fusheng to do something corrupt and pervert the law. If it is really sent to the emperor, let alone the title and errands, he is only afraid that he will be imprisoned immediately! Even if the emperor and the crown prince did not blame Zhao Mo for these letters, it would be difficult for Zhao Mo, who had a prison father, to straighten his waist in the court.

What the hell are those crazy Beijung people trying to do by hiding this kind of thing in his study?!

Zhao Shuo didn't understand this, so he asked.

Zhao Mo sent Rong'er away, and only then did he reply to Zhao Shuo: "How many years of effort have they spent on their father? Once they were defeated, their father sent their group to the prison of the Imperial City's Secret Spy Division, and even Lan Xue did not let go, so that their years of hard work were in vain." It's human nature for them to hold grudges. They also know that my father is now barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, and his biggest reliance is on my son. As long as I live well, my father will not be able to suffer much, no matter how good he is. So, they came directly at me, and they didn't forget to calculate my father's wave by the way. However, no matter how they calculated, they still fell short in the end, because although Brother Qi was born to Lan Xue, he was a child of our Zhao family, and he understood the seriousness of the matter, so he was not led by them, but firmly chose to stand on my side. This time, Brother Qi really made a great contribution. ”

Zhao Shuo's expression was a little unnatural: "He...... Since he is the son of sinners, he knows how to atone for his sins, and it is not a bad thing. But with the blood of the Beirong people in his body, he is destined to have no good future. If you have mercy on him and keep him food and clothing, that is, why bother with the others?"

Zhao Mo tugged at the corners of his mouth: "It's not nosy, it's just that merit must be rewarded." Zhao Mo had nothing to say about his father, and he didn't mention Zhao Qi much, so he continued, "These fake letters have been hidden in my father's study, it should have been some time, it must have been before my father cleared out the Beirong spies, I just don't know who is hiding the things." But this is not another place, but a study, and the things hidden are the items that my father often uses, and my father has not even noticed it for such a long time. If it weren't for the Beirong people's extra move, they would have to plant a stolen goods in my study, Brother Qi is clever and clever, maybe when the emperor descends, my father doesn't know what's going on. Doesn't my father have anything to say about that?!"

Zhao Shuo's face was very ugly, and he knew that he was too negligent. In fact, in the past two years, he has been disheartened and has rarely done anything serious in the study. The objects that were used to in the past are also thrown away. In the past, when he went to the yamen, he felt bored when he saw it, and he would always think of the embarrassment of being idle at home now, where can he still raise his spirit to take a closer look? This is not really a secret room where things are hidden, if Zhao Mo hadn't accidentally seen it, ask more, he must not know where those letters were hidden.

However, Zhao Shuo would not reflect on himself, he immediately found a scapegoat: "How did Rong'er do things? Ask him to guard the study, he actually made such a mistake?!"

It's a pity that Zhao Mo doesn't want to let him shirk his responsibility: "Rong'er is just a servant waiting in the study, and the things that shouldn't be touched are never touched, even when you open the cabinet to clean up the items inside, you have to do it in front of your father or Zhen Zhong and other big stewards." Today, if it weren't for my life, he wouldn't have dared to explore the many secrets on his own. It was normal that there was something hidden in the mezzanine, and he didn't notice it. Father was too careless! In the past, there were spies in the Liao Palace's mansion who sneaked into his father's study to do tricks, and it has only been a few years? Why did my father become so careless about his study?!"

Even if Zhao Shuo himself didn't want to pay attention to it, how difficult was it to tell the clerk to clean up the old stationery box in person? Things were right under his nose, but he just ignored them, so he would be easily manipulated, and he didn't know anything.

Zhao Shuo's face was red and white for a while, and he defended himself: "Who would have thought that? I don't need those stationery boxes or anything now, God knows when Lan Xue did it?!"

Zhao Mo saw that he still had this attitude, so he sighed: "Father, I sometimes think, the emperor did not value you more than you at the beginning, when he found out that you did a good job, he also entrusted you with important tasks, why did you gradually become cold later? Maybe when my father once made meritorious service, he relied on the power of the Wang family, right? In fact, without the help of the Wang family, your original ability was not so good, and there were often cares in doing things, so after the emperor found out, he was disappointed in you?" According to his father's careless temper, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's health does not improve, his father will not be able to get what he wants. If there is no young son of the king of Shu, there will be others. ”

How can the heir of a country be careless to such an extent? The things in his study have been easily tampered with, and he has not been discovered for a month or two, and he has to be reminded by his son to find out. If Zhao Shuo is just a mere clan, it doesn't matter, but if he becomes the prince of a country, it will be bad. Any shrewd and powerful traitor can do tricks and feet in his study, how can he govern the country?

Zhao Shuo's face was pale, as if he had been hit, he staggered back two steps before he stood firm.

Zhao Mo's words pierced his heart. He once felt that he had failed to compete for the position of imperial heir, but it was bad luck, when the Wang family dragged his feet, the father and son of the King of Shu jumped out and cut off the beard, but the prince's health improved again, and he would be unlucky again and again. But Zhao Mo's words were right, in fact, before the prince's health improved, his holy family was already much worse than before, and the emperor was indeed becoming more and more cold to him. He once thought that it was because the King of Shu was making trouble behind his back, but now that he thinks about it, maybe it was really the emperor who was disappointed in his actions......

Doesn't that mean that he is not worthy of being a royal heir at all?

Or did he have a chance, but he was careless and didn't grasp it?!
