Wang Tong handed over his hand, saluted Qiu Ai and Dali Siqing, Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and Yin Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, and explained: "Qiu Ge Lao and the three adults can take a look at the paper taken from the palace, this is Chengxintang paper, as clean as jade, thin and smooth, several adults can carefully compare the size of the glyphs on different notes. ”

Hearing this, Dali Siqing, the Criminal Department Shangshu, and Jingzhao Mansion Yin randomly selected a few pieces of paper from them, stacked them on top of each other, and was surprised to find that although there were only faint cinnabar vertical lines on the Chengxin paper, Lin Ruo's writing habits were very regular, on different papers, different words, the size of the glyphs was almost the same, as if there was a box of exactly the same size around each word, enclosing the words.

"This, this ......"

Yin Yingzong of Jingzhao Mansion was particularly shocked.

Wang Tongju said: "Qiu Ge Lao, the three adults, and the villain guess that perhaps it is precisely because Princess Rong's handwriting is neat and flat that the counterfeiters will imitate Princess Rong's handwriting so smoothly, so as to confuse the real with the fake. However, it is precisely because it is too similar that it shows the horse's feet. ”

Dali Siqing, Criminal Department Shangshu and Jingzhao Mansion Yin nodded, and looked at Qiu Pass in unison.

The certificate letter found from Gu Yannian's corpse has never left the Criminal Department; And the paper used to compare the handwriting was also taken directly from the palace. Lin Ruo had no chance to touch these two.

In addition, the handwriting written by Lin Ruo in the hall is indeed similar to the handwriting on the certificate letter, as Wang Tongju said, but when stacked together, it does not completely coincide.

All of the above is enough to prove that the letter that Gu Yannian met late at night was not from Lin Ruo's hand.

Since the person who asked Gu Yannian to meet was not Lin Ruo, then the murderer of Gu Yannian was naturally not Lin Ruo.

confirmed Lin Ruo's innocence, even if he was the old Qiu Pass of the Shoufu Pavilion, he could not detain Lin Ruoqiang in the Criminal Department. However, he was a little surprised, Lin Ruo didn't intercede for Su Muyu, and didn't even mention it when he left.

On the carriage back, Zhu Xuan also asked Lin Ruo the same question.

"Although Bo Yu is 'detained' in the Criminal Department, it only restricts his movements, and there is no danger. Next, it's a matter between me and the Gu family, let's keep him away from these battles of right and wrong. He's done enough for me. Ahem......"

Hearing Lin Ruo coughing softly again, Zhu Xuan hurriedly took the kettle that had been warm, poured warm water, mixed it with autumn pear paste, and served it to Lin Ruo to moisten her throat.

As soon as he returned to King Rong's Mansion, Murong Chong hurriedly came, looked up and down, and was relieved to confirm that Lin Ruo was intact. Murong Chong took his hand and entered the study, and waved away the maid, leaving only the two of them.

Murong Chong immediately asked, "How?" Did Qiu Kui embarrass you? ”

Lin Ruo shook his head, and then got straight to the point: "I think that Qiu Ge should have discovered that the handwriting on the letter was not from me, and he had already understood the emperor's intentions, so he gave me a favor." ”

Lin Ruo's guess was true, she testified to her, and the person who cleared her grievances was Wang Tongju of the Criminal Department, but the person who instructed him to do so was Qiu Kuai, the old man of the Shoufu Pavilion.

At this moment, Wang Tong's sentence was in the hall of the office of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and the person he was facing was the elder Qiu Pass.

Qiu Ai did find the clue from the material certificate letter, and then went to the imperial study to meet the emperor. I got the love letter with the words "Gu" and "Xi" written by Lin Ruo from the emperor, and I also saw the scriptures with these two words copied by Lin Ruo specially ordered by the emperor to be taken from the queen mother, so I was even more convinced of my guess.

You must know that this Qiu Ge Lao is the champion of the Kangle period, and he is the only champion of the "three yuan and the first" - students to participate in the imperial examination, need to go through the township examination, the meeting examination, the palace examination, the first place in the three examinations is called Xie Yuan, Hui Yuan, champion, and the so-called "three yuan and first", which is the first place in the township examination, the meeting examination, and the palace examination. Such an honor is praised as the highest honor by readers, but few can achieve it. Since the founding of Donglu, Qiu Ai is the only one. It is precisely because of this that he was appointed by the first emperor as the prince's teacher.

Qiu Ai's knowledge is undoubted, and his attainments in calligraphy are not general.

Moreover, Qiu Kui has served as the chief examiner of the imperial examination many times, and has been in the cabinet for more than ten years, and now he is the first auxiliary minister, who has reviewed so many imperial examination papers, reviewed so many courtiers' memorandaries, seen all kinds of handwriting, and has handled cases in Dali Temple for so many years.

It's just that after the emperor vaguely expressed his meaning, Qiu Ai did not point this point in the hall himself, but asked Wang Tong, who was specially responsible for comparing the handwriting of the Criminal Department, to make a statement.

However, Yin Yingzong of Jingzhao Mansion proposed to find a general judgment to compare the handwriting without him mentioning it, which saved Qiu Pass a lot of work and made this matter more natural.

Qiu Kui carefully looked at the piece of paper written by Lin Ruohou. I have to say that Lin Ruo is a smart person who will seize every opportunity to leave what she wants to say but can't say in public.

"You take all these down, check them with the general judgment of Dali Temple and Jingzhao Mansion, and be sure to find out the original words that make up this letter."

The other party is also a careful person, and the paper that was stolen from the palace was secretly returned after being used up to prevent it from being discovered. It's a pity that a hundred secrets are sparse, and there are still loopholes.

Wang Tongju took the thick stack of notes handed over by Qiu Ai, bowed down and responded: "Yes, the villain understands." ”

Seeing that Qiu Pass had no other instructions, Wang Tongju retreated with the note, and took the two new ones written by Lin Ruo today.

There was no one else in the hall, so Qiu Ai picked up his pen and wrote down eight words: The woman was wronged, and the frost flew in July.

If it was just this sentence, Qiu Ai might need to make another guess. But with the addition of the previous "Which is not important?" Decree of the State. What is not light? Human life. If it is a prison, it will be solid, and if it is a prison, it will be secluded. Strictly manage the key in the morning, and change the secret at night", there is no doubt that this is the "Prison Proverb" said by Zhang Zhang, the famous minister of the Kaiyuan Dynasty in the previous dynasty. The last sentence was originally supposed to be "The woman is resentful, the sun is high for three years, the husband is angry, and the frost is flying in June." But Lin Ruo changed it to "The woman was wronged, and the frost flew in July", so the message she wanted to express should be in these eight words.

"The woman was wronged", it is Lin Ruo himself...... She is married to a wife, but this time she was framed and wronged, probably because of this explanation.

So how should we explain the "July Frost"?

July, which is now July; Flying frost, what kind of frost is flying?

Qiu Kui's eyes stared at these words for a moment. "Frost" is the white ice crystals that form on the surface of things when the weather is cold. "Flying frost", which means frost. Zhang said that he used "June Flying Frost" to describe grievances, but Lin Ruo specially changed this "six" to "seven......

Wait a minute!

Seven? White?

A fine light flashed in Qiu Kui's eyes, and he suddenly understood Lin Ruo's intentions. Twisting his gray beard, he chuckled: "July Flying Frost, July Flying Frost!" Clever, really smart......"
