The guilt of leaking the facts of the case was so lightly exposed, and Lin Ruo proposed to take a look at the physical evidence-that is, the bloodstained letter found from Gu Yannian's body.

Qiu Kuai agreed.

The official held the wooden case and presented the letter to Lin Ruo.

Lin Ruo couldn't help frowning when she saw the words on it: if she didn't look closely, even she herself would think that it was her handwriting. However, on closer inspection, in addition to the characters "Gu" and "Xi", the words on this letter are subtly different from her handwriting.

When she came here unexpectedly and survived by clinging to Gu Manxue's body, she was only five years old, and she was still young and her handwriting was not formed, so she did not arouse the suspicion of others. Later, I met Meng Bin and thought his handwriting was good-looking, so he exchanged it for a map, and begged Meng Bin to use the words he wrote as a copybook and practice according to it. Over the years, Meng Bin has been celebrating the New Year's holidays, and he will always add a few calligraphy books to the gifts given to her, so Lin Ruo's words are seven or eight points similar to Meng Bin's words, with the rare heroism and sharpness in ordinary women's handwriting, making it difficult to believe that this word is from a woman's hand.

And the words on this letter, the pen and the front, are very similar to her, but they are only similar, and the gods are not similar, with a little more ingenuity and a little less heroism.

"It's quite like."

Lin Ruo put the letter back on top of the wooden case, and the official presented the physical evidence to Qiu Ai's case.

As soon as these words came out, Dali Siqing, Shangshu of the Criminal Department and Yin of Jingzhao Mansion were all stunned. Only Qiu Ai asked meaningfully: "Is it just 'like', not 'is'?" ”

Based on this sentence, as well as the expected look on Qiu Ai's face, Lin Ruo guessed that Qiu Ai should have discovered the clues in the letter, and went to see Emperor Mingzong after the morning today, perhaps to explain this matter in detail. And this matter, Dali Siqing, the Criminal Department Shangshu and Jingzhao Mansion Yin all knew nothing.

Qiu Pass's unbiased and law-enforcing law is well known to both the government and the opposition. Lin Ruo guessed that Qiu Kui had probably determined that she was not the murderer, so he boldly guessed that he might have gained insight into the emperor's intentions: when Emperor Mingzong saw this letter, he knew that this letter was not written by Lin Ruo, but he deliberately concealed it, most likely to try to test the situation of his sons and courtiers. And she, Lin Ruo, is just a rising bird pushed out by the emperor, and she is a rising bird under the protection of the emperor.

Gu Ting may have tried to protect his daughter, or he finally decided to fight back after so many years of forbearance, but in the same way, the emperor also moved to get rid of Gu Ting and seek justice for Lin Yuan'er.

Such a legitimate opportunity, Lin Ruo will not let it go, and Emperor Mingzong will naturally not let it go.

Lin Ruo decided to take a risk.

"Qiu Ge Lao, the concubine was injured a few days ago, she couldn't speak, and there was a palace doctor as evidence, so in the palace, she used a pen to speak. If someone has a bad heart, take away the paper with the handwriting of the concubine, and find someone who is good at imitating the handwriting to imitate it. After speaking, Lin Ruo also chuckled, "There are many craftsmen and masters in the Lin family's workshop, and this concubine has indeed heard of people with such strange abilities, imitating any word he has read, there is no flaw, and no one can distinguish the authenticity." However, this person who imitates the handwriting of this concubine seems to be less than this mastery. ”

"Lin Clan," Qiu Kui asked, "The people of Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Jingzhao Mansion have all carefully examined this handwriting, and they all agree that this handwriting is completely consistent with your handwriting, and there is no doubt that it came from you, but you denied it in court?" ”

Lin Ruo sneered: "Elder Qiu Ge, this concubine has already said before, some time ago, the pen was used to replace the words, and there was more handwriting left, and people with a heart cut out useful words from it, splicing and counterfeiting, which is enough to fake the truth." However, Qiu Ge Lao, the three adults, you should also know that the handwriting, embroidery, and skills are things that only you know best. No matter how similar others learn, it is impossible to reproduce it completely. I can leave a book in front of me for you to compare. ”

Qiu Kui's gaze swept over Dali Siqing, the Criminal Department Shangshu, and Jingzhao Mansion Yin, asking for their opinions. Yin Yingzong of Jingzhao Mansion took the lead in expressing his position: "Elder Qiu Ge, the lower officials think this method is feasible. ”

Immediately afterwards, the secretary of the criminal department also expressed his approval.

Dali Siqing saw that both of them expressed their attitudes, and he did not object.

In this case, although it was headed by Qiu Ai, the old man of the Shoufu Pavilion, Dali Temple, the Criminal Department and Jingzhao Mansion all cooperated in handling the case, and the three of Dali Siqing, Shangshu of the Criminal Department and Yin of Jingzhao Mansion did not dare to be lazy and perfunctory under Qiu Pass's nose.

Qiu Kui then ordered: "For the record, take pen and ink." ”

Two officials carried a simple rectangular table and placed it in front of Lin Ruo, and another official stepped forward with the four treasures of the study, set it up, and then bowed down.

Lin Ruo took up the pen and ink, and silently wrote the letter she had just read on the yellow paper word for word, but she deliberately paid attention to it, and the words "Gu" and "Xi" were not written according to her habits in the past ten years - the "page" on the right half of the word "Gu" was not "爻", and the "乂" above the word "Xi" did not add a single stroke.

It is used to test Qiu Pass.

Ten years of habits, if you don't deliberately remind yourself, it's really not easy to change, the word "Gu" is at the forefront, but it's okay, when it comes to "Xi", "Yi" almost habitually added a little bit under the hand, fortunately she quickly stopped, but still left a thin ink on the paper.

With so many pairs of eyes staring, it's impossible to rewrite one. Fortunately, the ink as thin as a hair cannot be seen unless you look carefully.

Lin Ruo gently blew the ink that had not dried, handed the paper to Zhu Xuan, who handed it to the official on standby, and then presented it to Qiu Kui.

Seeing the words written by Lin Ruo in the hall, Qiu Ai raised his eyes quietly, glanced at Lin Ruo, and looked between Lin Ruo and the paper. Then, he picked up the physical evidence on the case, and after a long time, he handed over Lin Ruogang's paper and the blood-stained letter to the official officer, and asked him to hand over the two pieces of paper to Dali Siqing, the Criminal Department Shangshu and Jingzhao Mansion Yin in turn. Shangshu of the Criminal Department and Yin of Jingzhao Mansion sat on the same side, and the two of them simply held the paper written by Lin Ruogang, and the other held the physical evidence, leaned their heads together, carefully compared, and from time to time their eyes intertwined, and discussed in a low voice. And Dali Siqing has no one to discuss, and the documents in charge of recording are many distances away from him, so he can only compare them alone.

Between the two, it was passed back to Qiu Ai's hands again, and he asked out loud, "What do you think?" ”

Dali Siqing replied: "Forgive the official for being clumsy, I can't see the difference." ”

Qiu Kui turned to the squire of the Criminal Department and the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion: "What about you?" ”

"This ......" Jingzhao Mansion Yin glanced at Lin Ruo in embarrassment, and then replied to Qiu Kui, "If you go back to the pavilion, the lower officials are not very proficient in handwriting research, so it is better to ask the general judgment of this way to verify and compare."
