The next morning, as soon as Cai Jiu came to the state government and sat down, a cronie sent the two letters to him: "Taishou, this is sent by Dai Zong himself early this morning, saying that it is a reply from Taishi Cai." ”

As soon as he heard that it was a reply and a reply sent by his father, Cai Jiu didn't dare to slack off, and quickly took it and looked at the fire paint on it to make sure that it was undamaged, and then took out the official letter, the words on it were the handwriting of his father he was most familiar with, and it was still so sophisticated and smooth, and the content on it was also very simple, that is, let him immediately send the traitor Song Jiang to Jingshi for conviction.

Seeing that it was actually this response, Cai Jiu's heart first moved: "My lord, isn't it too trivial for him to do this?" Although Song Jiang is called a traitor, he didn't do anything to rebel, he just wrote a few anti-poems, and I Jiangzhou can dispose of him. But after carefully smacking the contents of the letter, another thought came out of his heart: "Could it be that Lord Fei wants to make a fuss about this matter?" I heard that this Song Jiang is also a well-known person in the world, especially among martial artists, has a lot of reputation, is it that my lord plans to beat some people with this? ”

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his judgment was reasonable, and even if he was convinced, he put aside the official letter and said to his cronies: "You will pass on the official's order to prepare the prison, and in a day or two, you will escort the criminal Song Jiang to Tokyo for questioning." ”

Just when the cronie agreed to withdraw, Yuan Wang followed him to the door - in order to make his position clear during this time, Yuan Tuiguan has not been running here, anyway, he will come to consult Cai Jiu whenever he has any official business, and today is no exception - he also heard Cai Taishou's order, his brows were furrowed, and he said while saluting: "Why did Taishou make this decision?" Why did a prisoner bother to send him to Beijing? ”

Cai Jiu patted the official letter in hand: "This official has just received a letter from Master Cai, let us send that Song Jiang to Tokyo immediately." Since it's the meaning of the imperial court, I can't help but listen to it, right? ”

"Huh? Did you just send this letter back? Yuan Wang's suspicion was even stronger, "In the past, Dai Zong also went to Tokyo to deliver documents, but it often took less than three days to turn around. This time, it was delayed for five or six days, which is really a bit strange. ”

Originally, Cai Jiu didn't delve too deeply into this matter, but after his reminder, he also had some doubts: "Speaking of which, Dai Zong did return much later than before this time." However, I have read all these letters, and I am also well aware of Taishi Cai's handwriting and seals, and they should not be faked. ”

Yuan Wangzi will not have any objection to this, if among the officials of the Manchu Dynasty say who knows Cai Jing best, I am afraid that it must be the Taishou Cai Jiu in front of him, after all, he knows his father Mo Ruozi. But he still asked after a deep sigh: "I don't know if the lower officials can take a look at those letters, I always feel that there is something wrong with this matter." ”

Cai Jiu did not refuse, and immediately handed over the official documents and family letters to him: "You see, it is, but there is no problem in it." ”

Yuan Wang looked at it much more carefully than Cai Jiu, not only did he carefully understand these two public and private letters, but he didn't even let go of the seal on it. But this time, because Sun Tu made a timely move, the flaws in the private credit official seal were not exposed, and there was no problem no matter how you look at it.

Seeing that he looked at the two letters without saying a word for a while, Cai Jiu became a little impatient: "What's the matter, is there any problem?" Anyway, the official looked at the letter, and it was indeed from the hand of Master Cai......"

Yuan Wang raised his head a little hesitantly, and after thinking for a while, he said: "If you look at it on the surface, there is indeed no problem with this letter, but Xia Guan is a little curious. ”

"You say."

"The letter from the Taishi to the Taishou should indeed be written by him, but does he really want him to write this official letter? It stands to reason that there should be a lot of staff around the Taishi who can be ghostwriters, so why should he do this? Yuan Wang said and gently put the letters back on the table.

This sentence really woke up Cai Jiu, and he was stunned for a moment before he patted the bookcase: "Yes, why did this official neglect this point!" There have always been four or five ghostwriters around adults, and most official letters are written by adults orally, and there are indeed some problems with this official letter! ”

After a pause, he wondered again: "How to explain the letter that the adult gave me, this is written by him, and he uses a private seal ......"

Yuan Wang's heart was certain, and his reaction was faster: "This is better explained." For example, people today who don't know that Taishi is a master of calligraphy, and the popular ones in the world are just Su Huangmi Cai Sijia fonts, if someone wants to imitate Taishi's handwriting, it should not be very difficult. Moreover, there must be a problem with Dai Zong's delayed arrival, if Taishou still has doubts, he can ask him a few words, and he will definitely be able to show his feet. So saying, he gave his idea.

After hearing this, Cai Jiu nodded again and again: "Just follow Yuan Zhou's wishes." I'm ashamed to say that I, the son of man, still have to rely on the help of you, an outsider, to see through their conspiracy. ”

"It's too conservative, as the so-called art industry has a specialty, and the lower officials are used to judging cases on weekdays, so they always look at things more carefully." Yuan Wang hurriedly humbled himself, now he just wanted to curry favor with Cai Jiu in a low-key manner, but he didn't dare to let the other party have even a trace of jealousy towards him.

Immediately, Cai Jiu ordered someone to find Dai Zong quickly, but in just half an hour, Dean Dai, who looked tired, had already appeared in front of the two Jiangzhou chief officials. Although he was calm on his face, his heart was already beating. After handing over the two forged letters, he was worried about the consequences of the revelations.

Cai Jiu examined him for a while after the case before he spoke: "Dai Zong has really worked hard for you this time. According to Yuan Tuiguan, it only took less than three days for you to send the letter to Tokyo in the past, so why did you delay sending the letter back on the fifth day this time? ”

Dai Zong hurriedly clenched his fists and admitted his mistake: "If the lower officials are ineffective, please be too disciplined." It's really because when the little one entered Beijing coincided with the Lantern Festival, there were frequent visitors to Taishi's mansion, and the little one couldn't see the face of the Taishi for a while, so the time was delayed. ”

"Oh? I see, but it seems that the official is wrong to blame you. Indeed, when I was in Beijing in the past, many officials from the DPRK and China went to visit the adults during the New Year's holidays, and you could only go to the back row as a local official. By the way, is it Uncle Quan who will meet you this time, he has always been the most kind to people, but his legs and feet are not very dexterous when he is older, is he better now? Cai Jiu said with a smile.

Dai Zong thought that he had passed a level, but at this time he finally breathed a sigh of relief, so he followed Cai Jiu's words and said: "It was the villain who Steward Quan saw that day, and then he also passed on the words for me. But his old man's legs and feet look a little inconvenient......" Speaking of this, he suddenly found that Cai Jiu's eyes looking at him had changed, and Yuan Wang on the side showed a smile that he was in control, which made him immediately chuckle in his heart, knowing that he had made a big mistake, this was obviously a trap that Cai Jiu dug for himself.

"Come on, take down this fornicating thief for me!" With Cai Jiu's order, several pro-soldiers who were waiting outside the room early in the morning had rushed in, and before Dai Zong could react, he had already held down his shoulders and kicked him hard at the knee, making him smash to the ground in an extremely embarrassed posture, and his whole body was attached to the bluestone floor tiles.

Dai Zong was horrified, but he still shouted in his mouth that he was wronged: "The villain really doesn't know what crime he has committed, why do you want people to take me ......"

"Why, do you still want to quibble at this point? There is no spring steward in Taishi Cai's mansion at all, and you have never been to Tokyo to deliver the news. Say, where did you get these two letters, and what is the conspiracy? Yuan Wang immediately asked with a dark face.

Dai Zong had already regretted that his intestines were blue, and he couldn't imagine that all his precautions were exposed because of this trivial matter, which not only put Zai in, but also made the entire plan to rescue Song Jiang fall through. But at this point, it was useless to regret it, the only thing he could do was to tighten his teeth and not reveal any details to them.

Seeing that he was silent, Cai Jiu was immediately furious, and slapped the book case: "Dai Zong, this official has always been kind to you, and he trusts you so much, I can't imagine that you actually colluded with the traitor, and you don't repent." Wouldn't you really be an official and use a trick against you? ”

Yuan Wang smiled sadly: "Dai Zong, if you know each other, you can explain everything now, so that you can have a chance to atone for your sins." If you continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, this official has a way to pry your mouth open. Say, who are the people who colluded with you to rescue Song Jiang, are they those traitors outside, or some people in my Jiangzhou City! ”

But no matter how they pressed him, Dai Zong still didn't say a word, he had made up his mind, even if he died, he couldn't drag down the others. His attitude immediately angered Yuan Wang, so he arched his hand at Cai Jiuyi and said, "Please also ask Taishou to hand him over to the lower officials, and I will definitely let him reveal all the truth." ”

Cai Jiu, as a civil official with a heavy name, naturally didn't want to be contaminated with blood, so he nodded and said, "Then I'll hand it over to Yuan Zhou to push you to deal with." ”

Yuan Wang agreed, and then he had Dai Zong dragged to the courtyard, then stripped him of his clothes, and immediately tortured Dai Zong in full view of everyone—from canes to whips, then clamps, and even soldering irons.

For a while, the screams filled the entire state office, and many people listened to it. In just over half an hour, Dai Zong was already drenched in blood, and he couldn't find a piece of intact flesh and skin all over his body. And his screams changed from high-pitched and poignant at the beginning to faint, and finally only short, weak moans remained.

What is especially terrifying is that during the period of torture of Dai Zong, Yuan Wang actually didn't ask him a word again, as if he was only doing all this to torture him. It wasn't until he tossed people to the point that he was dying, and Yuan Wangfang slowly came to the half-unconscious Dai Zong's side, and whispered in his ear: "Say, is Sun Tu your accomplice?" What exactly are you planning to do when you see him before? This is the answer he really wants to get with all his heart!
