225 The Only Chance

"Okay." Li Congyao didn't refute at all, and silently followed Jun Qinglan out of the hut.

Shopkeeper Hu was already waiting at the door of the store with a blanket on his back, and he was somewhat surprised to see the two of them go out: "The guest ate so quickly?" ”

"If you think of something, let's go quickly."

Jun Qinglan didn't dare to delay, it was not as if she had just taken Li Congyao for a walk, and she walked all the way quickly. It wasn't until she entered the camp in the forest that she handed over the shopkeeper Hu directly to Liu Buren, and she plunged into her camp.

Li Congyao sat on the Taishi chair in her tent, watching her go straight to the bookcase. took out the genealogy of the Qin clan, turned it to the ninth day of the third month of the 36th year of Taihe and spread it on the table, first the finger carefully rubbed for a long time, and then lifted the paper, and looked carefully at the light projected in the tent for a long time, then looked down at the cotton robe dyed by vegetable soup, thoughtful.

"Can you explain your behavior to me?" Li Congyao waited for about a cup of tea before slowly opening his mouth.

“…… Kindness? Jun Qinglan woke up suddenly, as if she had only discovered Li Congyao's existence at this moment: "Wang ...... Childe is still there? ”

"I'm waiting for you." Li Congyao said indifferently.

He bit the words very hard, and seemed to have a deep meaning. Jun Qinglan didn't hear the overtones in his words, and raised her hand to her dirty clothes.

"Childe, please take a closer look at my clothes." She said solemnly: "Have you noticed that the place that is wet with vegetable soup and then re-dried will be hard and wrinkled, which is not the same as the place next to it. ”

Li Congyao nodded: "That's true." ”

Jun Qinglan took the genealogy on the table and walked to Li Congyao's side. The finger fell on the words on the ninth day of the third month of the 36th year of Taihe.

"It's not half out of the ordinary when we look at the genealogy. But when I held the page high and placed it in the bright light, I made a different discovery. Childe, please take a look. ”

"It's ......." Li Congyao frowned slightly: "It's actually ......." ”

Since leaving Yanjing, Rong Xi needs to take care of the entire team. Li Congyao ordered Jun Qinglan to serve her, and every evening, she rested on the couch in Li Congyao's tent. The two always used the same tent, and Li Congyao's tent was very spacious and had a small window.

Today is a rare good weather, and the sun is shining through the window. In the flying spots, the thin page of paper was illuminated translucent, with a faint golden light.

"The paper in this place is slightly wrinkled, and the paper industry is not flat. In the sunlight, we can clearly see that the ink on this line is darker than the ink on the surrounding handwriting. ”

Li Congyao took the family tree from her hand and left the sunshine, and all the abnormalities that Jun Qinglan had just said disappeared. Only by slowly groping with your fingers on the page can you vaguely feel a slight bump. But the wrinkled marks are not obvious and completely negligible.

"The genealogy of the Qin clan has existed for a long time. The thirty-sixth year of Taihe is the thirty-sixth year of the reign of Emperor Yingzong, which has been hundreds of years ago. It is very normal for the paper to turn yellow, become hard, or even wrinkle due to improper storage. ”

"You're right." Jun Qinglan nodded and said, "However, the difference in ink is not normal. If the paper is slightly wrinkled due to moisture, the handwriting should be flooded

It is impossible to become more vague and dim than anywhere else. ”

Li Congyao stared at Jun Qinglan for a moment: "What do you want to say?" ”

Jun Qinglan took a hard breath: "I...... Have an idea. Could it be that someone removed the original handwriting from the pages with some special liquid, and then rewrote it on the genealogy with the wrong chronology by imitating the font next to it? ”

Li Congyao didn't answer, staring at Jun Qinglan for a moment. At this moment, the woman's clear eyes dazzled past the stars in the sky, and a fire seemed to be ignited under her eyes. What she said sounded incredible, but it wasn't impossible. However, the odds are so small that they can be ignored.

Jun Qinglan is an excellent servant, she has always been calm and composed. However, people have selfish intentions, and once they encounter things that are closely related to them, they will inevitably lose their proportions. It is impossible for Jun Qinglan not to know that the possibility of genealogical fraud is very small, but she seems to have confirmed her own statement in her heart.

"Evidence is needed for everything." Li Congyao knew that he would definitely be able to make Jun Qinglan happy, but he couldn't do that.

Once people fall into selfishness, they will inevitably lose their way. At this time, Jun Qinglan needs a guiding light by her side to control the direction of progress for her at all times. Even if it will make her disappointed, sad, and angry, Li Congyao has no regrets. He will never let Jun Qinglan's life have any mistakes and deviations.

The coldness and indifference in Li Congyao's eyes completely shattered the excitement that had just risen in Jun Qinglan's heart. She looked at the genealogy in her hand and pursed her lips, finally raised her head, stared at Li Congyao and said solemnly: "I will find out the evidence!" Certain! ”

"So, where are you going to start?"

“…… Kindness? Jun Qinglan was stunned.

Don't you believe it? Suddenly asking such a question makes people completely unprepared!

"There is no clue to the genealogy, and no possibility can be left out at this time, even if it is ridiculous, to find evidence to prove its absurdity. Since you have an idea, we will follow your idea, whether it is correct or not, at least there is no regret in our hearts. ”

"Thank you." Jun Qinglan took a breath: "Thank you for supporting me." ”

The six years since he left Guanzhou Mansion were the darkest time in Jun Qinglan's life. There is no direction, muddy, gritting teeth and enduring every day. Only Li Congyao gave her hope, and it was his appearance that made her firmly seize the opportunity to overturn the case for her family.

And the only chance.

She slowly closed her eyes, and slowly spread out the people and things she was familiar with in the Guanzhou Mansion in her mind. I suddenly opened my eyes with a sudden movement in my heart, and my whole person seemed to be light.

"Although my father was a temperance envoy, he never indulged me and my brother. After his brother gained fame, he went to the government as a clerk, and often visited various cases with the county guard, so he also got to know a lot of talented people in the state government. I remember when I was 10 years old, there was a case that caused a sensation in the entire Guanzhou capital. ”

Jun Qinglan half raised her eyes and looked at Li Congyao: "That year, there was a vicious serial killer. The method of killing is extremely perverted and cruel, and every time after killing someone, a human internal organ will be removed, and it is different every time. The scene is often bloodied and horrific. The county guard investigated for a long time, but found nothing, because no evidence was left at the scene. However, in reality, everyone has a heart for the identity of the murderer

Know it. Because, every time he is found at the scene of the crime. If it happens once, it's a problem. ”

Jun Qinglan's voice paused slightly: "He is a down-and-out scholar who sells calligraphy and paintings for a living. Although everyone suspected that he was involved in the homicide, they were not able to bring him to justice. Just because, there is no half evidence to prove that he is the murderer. Although he was always present at the scene of the murder, he was very clean from top to bottom, and there was not a trace of blood stained on his body. Judging by the ferocity of the scene, it is completely impossible for the murderer not to be stained with blood. ”

Li Congyao frowned slightly: "In the end, how did you find the evidence?" ”

"There is an old man beside the county guard, who is his distant relative, called Huang Yuan, and everyone calls him Yuanbo. Yuan Bo's methods are very powerful, and he noticed that every time he found the scholar, he would draw a unique picture with pen and ink on the front and back of his clothes, and he faintly felt that it was not normal. Later, he created a strange liquid, which was dripped on the brush and ink of the scholar's clothes, and the pen and ink on his body peeled off little by little, and then a large amount of blood stained on his clothes was revealed. That's why the scholar was able to be captured. ”

"Murder and autopsy were originally sensational, but the scholar never left the scene after the killing, but used landscape ink paintings to cover up the blood stains on his clothes, and then calmly watched the process of solving the case, which shows that this person's heart is extremely abnormal. But it is also undeniable that he is actually an elegant person. That case was later talked about by the people for a long time, and they all called him a calligraphy and painting killer. So, I'm thinking about ....... ”

Jun Qinglan lowered her head, and her eyes looked at the genealogy on the table again. Li Congyao looked at her and slowly opened his mouth: "Do you want to find Huang Yuan?" ”

"Yes." Jun Qinglan nodded: "The paper on this page is obviously different from other places. If it was really the special liquid in Yuanbo's hand that erased the handwriting, I think he would be able to see it. And he is not a businessman, and of course he will not openly sell the kind of things that are used to solve cases. Well, who had used such a liquid in his hands could be an important clue. ”

There was a bit of throbbing in Jun Qinglan's voice: "As long as I follow this line to check, the Qin family may be able to clear their grievances soon." ”

"You've got a good idea." Li Congyao said: "But have you forgotten one thing? ”

"What?" Jun Qinglan forcibly suppressed the throbbing in her heart and looked at Li Congyao.

"The person who went to the imperial court that day and investigated the Qin family was Huang Zhong!"

Huang Zhong, the county guard of Nanyang County, should have been the most powerful person in the entire Nanyang County. However, during the reign of Yingzong, Nanyang County had a festival envoy and directly overrode the county guard. Since that day, the so-called county guard has been slightly embarrassed. Although Huang Zhong seems to have a good relationship with Qin Yu on the outside, who knows what his heart is like? When the Qin family was exterminated that day, he was indeed quite active.

Huang Yuan is Huang Zhong's relative, and it seems indeed impossible to borrow something from him to overturn the case for the Qin family.

"What kind of identity and position do you take to approach Huang Yuan?"

In everyone's minds, at this moment, Qin Wei was already a dead man. If she stood in front of Huang Yuan with her true face, she wouldn't scare people to death?

"I ......." Jun Qinglan's voice paused slightly: "I will naturally think of a way!" ”
