Chapter 713: True and False Tokens
"He will definitely send killers to hunt us down, so I think you still have to think of a foolproof way, and finding someone to escort you to Yuzhou is the most important thing at the moment."
"Looking for someone to escort? Isn't it only the prefect of White Emperor City who can transfer troops, maybe we go to borrow troops from the prefect of White Emperor City, and he will be willing to escort us to Yuzhou. ”
Hearing Li Ran say this, Shi Yi shook his head, sighed, and said to Li Ran: "I think your plan is probably going to fail, the prefect of the White Emperor City has always been timid and afraid, at this time he knows that you are being chased and killed by Zhang An, and he will not dare to send troops to protect you no matter what, after all, sending troops to protect you is to stand on the same line with you, which will inevitably attract Zhang An's revenge, and he is busy saving his life at this time." ”
Seeing that the prefect of the White Emperor City was unwilling to help them, Xiao Man suddenly fell into a bitter thought, if there were no official seals and documents, they could still go to Yuzhou in a relaxed mood, anyway, they were all broken jars.
But at this time, the official seal and documents were lost and recovered, and it was as if there was an extra burden on his body.
"Anyway, let's go to the prefect of White Emperor City to discuss first, maybe he will be willing to help us."
Xiao Man still has a certain hope for the prefect of White Emperor City, after all, everyone is an official of the imperial court, and he has no reason to be so afraid of Zhang An and be Zhang An's accomplice.
Seeing that Xiao Man had already made a decision, Shi Yizhen could only follow Xiao Man helplessly, after all, he came here this time, and the emperor told him to ensure Su Xiaoman's safety and give Su Xiaoman the greatest support.
If something happens to Su Xiaoman, he won't have to do anything about the fat difference of Yushitai.
Walking on the road, Su Xiaoman naturally did not forget to thank Shi Yizhen, if he hadn't arrived in time to deliver the official seal and documents, they wouldn't have known how to take up the post of prefect of Yuzhou.
"Shi Yizhen, thank you so much for today's incident."
Hearing Su Xiaoman thank himself, Shi Yizhen put on a stinky face, so he was reluctant to help Su Xiaoman, after all, Su Xiaoman, a woman, took away his position as a flower explorer.
"Hmph, you are less proud, if it weren't for the emperor's clever calculation, I'm afraid you would have fallen into Zhang An's trap a long time ago, women are stupid."
Su Xiaoman has experienced this incident, and he also knows that Shi Yizhen is just a person who has a bit of a powerful mouth but a tofu heart.
If Shi Yi really hated her so much, then he wouldn't risk his life to bring her a token of payment anyway, so he really had a good impression of Shi Yi in his heart.
Xiao Man smiled and began to joke with Shi Yizhen: "Since women are stupid, why can't you even pass the test for a stupid woman like me?" ”
Seeing Su Xiaoman mocking himself like this, Shi Yizhen was so angry that he couldn't speak, his face was red, and when he saw Shi Yizhen's appearance, everyone thought it was very cute, so they laughed in the crowd.
To say that after Zhang An got the official seal and documents, he naturally returned to his mansion in Yuzhou and began to study the official seal and documents.
Although it was said that this document was also Lu Li's handwriting, and the official seal was indeed made of fine sheep fat jade, he always felt that something was missing.
Just when Zhang An was thinking hard, he only saw the goshawk grabbing a man, and threw it in front of Zhang An, the man looked a little obscene, his face was thin, and when he saw Zhang An, he began to kowtow and beg for mercy.
"Young Master Zhang, please spare me, I'm just a master of the Yamen, I've been messing with Li Ran here for a few years, and I haven't caught any oil and water, if you ask me now, I must know everything, but you must spare my life."
This master is Li Ran's former assistant, but when he saw Zhang An at this time, this master was naturally very afraid, he had long heard that Zhang An was ruthless, and he would arrest himself here, I am afraid that he will be more than lucky.
So his body kept shaking, his face was a little pale, his legs began to sweat, and his pants were wet.
Seeing the appearance of the master's nest, Zhang An felt very disgusted, and just wanted to finish the question quickly and let the goshawk solve this person.
He put the official seal in front of the master, and said to the master: "You used to see the original prefect of Yuzhou, and then followed Li Ran as the master for a period of time, let me ask you, you should know a lot about the prefect's tokens, right?" ”
The master recalled that he had seen the tokens of the prefect of Yuzhou back then, nodded hurriedly, and said with a flattering smile: "I know, I know, I have naturally seen the tokens of the prefect, when I followed the real prefect before, I touched those tokens with my own hands, Young Master Zhang, if you want me to distinguish them, I will definitely distinguish them." ”
So the master grabbed the mutton fat jade in Zhang An's hand and began to look at it carefully.
Just looking at the master's expression, it became more and more solemn, as if he had encountered some problem.
When Zhang An saw his expression, he slowly asked, "How is it, is there a result?" ”
I only saw that the master didn't dare to speak at this time, glanced at Zhang An, lowered his head again, and looked weak.
Seeing this master's hesitant appearance, the goshawk was naturally impatient, and took out a knife and put it directly on the master's neck.
"The young master asked you, didn't you hear it, hurry up and answer!"
When this master saw the cold blade, his courage was broken, so he immediately knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Young Master Zhang, I said, I said, this official seal is fake!" ”
Hearing that this official seal was fake, Goshawk and Zhang An were taken aback, and Goshawk couldn't believe that the documents and official seals that he had taken so much effort to snatch were fakes.
So he pushed the knife into the master's neck a little more, and said to him: "Are you lying, or are you simply someone from Li Ran's side, and you want to help them cheat this official seal and document back, so you deliberately said that this is a fake, right?" ”
The master's face was completely bloodless, and he hurriedly grabbed the goshawk's trouser leg and said to him: "Goshawk leader, I have always known that the Zhang family is powerful, and I have fallen into your hands at this time, how dare I lie, and besides, Li Ran is a fake prefect, what good can I do with him, but I just take some money, what I said is true, you see that although this mutton fat jade is a good mutton fat jade, but looking at the light, there is not the slightest dark pattern in it, to say that the prefect's official seal made by the real royal family, There are dark lines with golden streamers, and they are genuine. ”
Hearing what the master said, Zhang An immediately took the official seal in his hand and looked carefully at the candle flame next to him, and sure enough, no golden dark lines appeared on it.
Zhang An's brows were tightly entangled, he still didn't believe in this fact, after all, Su Xiaoman and Du Yue fought for their lives in order to protect these two things.
In order to make it so that if it was really a fake, how could they do this, so Zhang An threw the document to this master again, and asked this master to distinguish it in detail.
Even if this official seal is fake, maybe the document is genuine, and it is not that he has found nothing.
I saw the master open the paperwork, touched it carefully, sniffed it again, and said to Zhang An: "Young master, this document is also fake." ”
Hearing what the master said, Zhang An was so angry that he swept all the objects on the table to the ground and smashed them all.
The goshawk also asked impatiently, "Say!" Why this is a fake. ”
I only heard this master distinguish: "Goshawk leader, young master, you may not know, although this document is the emperor's handwriting, but there is still a certain gap with the real prefect's documents, according to the regulations of the imperial court, under the documents of this official mansion, there will also be royal dark lines, and there will be a faint ambergris, with these two things, this document can be regarded as genuine." ”
Hearing what the master said, Zhang An immediately stood up and snatched the document from his hand, which was torn to pieces in an instant.
Seeing that his young master was so angry, the goshawk also knew that it was caused by his ineffective work, so he immediately knelt in front of Zhang An.
"The young master is angry, this matter is all the fault of my subordinates, I was deceived by a few of their cunning villains, and my subordinates immediately chased them back and took back the official seal and documents."
Zhang An glanced at the goshawk coldly, although it was said that this document was indeed caused by the goshawk's ineffective work, but this official seal was snatched from Su Xiaoman's hand by himself, but he didn't expect Su Xiaoman, a woman, to be so cunning.
deceived with a fake token, and I saw her scared look at the time, I couldn't have imagined that it was pretended.
"Hurry up and check for me, I will soon know where Su Xiaoman and the others are, and send all the killers in the house to me, once I find Su Xiaoman's traces, I will immediately kill them, and then take the official seal documents for me."
After hearing Zhang An's order, the goshawk immediately prepared to walk out of the door, but he didn't expect that the goshawk had just walked to the door, but was stopped by Zhang An.
"Wait."
The goshawk turned around, only to see that the young master's mood had calmed down a little at this time, rubbed his temples, pondered for a while, and said to the goshawk hesitantly: "Forget it, if you find them, the others will be killed, but this Su Xiaoman, leave me a living mouth and bring her to see me." ”
Seeing that his young master was obviously in love, the goshawk clenched his fists, although he said that he was a little angry in his heart, but at this time he could only do what Zhang An said.
To say that after this goshawk left the room, he immediately counted all the killers in the mansion, he calculated Su Xiaoman's footsteps, most of them were still staying near White Emperor City at this time, so he asked these killers to rush to White Emperor City immediately, and they must find Su Xiaoman's traces.
At this time, Su Xiaoman was standing at the door of the Yamen of the White Emperor City, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, to say that this was the first time he had negotiated with his colleagues as an official of the imperial court.
Xiao Man looked up and down, for fear that he would be dressed inappropriately and that he would lose face in front of his colleagues.
