Soon, a man who looked like a guard handed a letter into the hands of Prime Minister Qi.

Prime Minister Qi took the letter and handed it to the emperor: "Your Majesty, look at this letter. ”

The emperor took the letter and opened it and looked at it, but the more he looked down, the more ugly his face became, he handed the letter to Sheng Zhiyao and raised his head and asked, "Zhiyao, is this what you wrote?" ”

Sheng Zhiyao picked up the letter and looked at it: "Back to Your Majesty, these words are indeed like what I wrote." Sheng Zhiyao did not shy away from admitting: "But this letter was not written by me. ”

"The county lord should stop quibbling, this letter was written by you yourself, is there anyone else who can't write it on your behalf." Prime Minister Qi said.

"This can be said, since Prime Minister Qi is so sure that this letter was written by me, then I will write one on the spot, so that you can identify and see if what I said is true." After Sheng Zhiyao finished speaking, he picked up a brush and drew on rice paper.

Prime Minister Qi sneered: "Hmph, I want to see how the county lord proves his innocence, if you didn't write it, the minister should admit the county lord's innocence, and kowtow to the county lord three times." ”

"Okay, I promise you!" Sheng Zhiyao said without hesitation.

The emperor watched Sheng Zhiyao write and draw on rice paper from the side, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

It didn't take long for Sheng Zhiyao to stop drawing.

The Emperor immediately stepped forward, picked up the letter on the table, and examined it carefully.

Prime Minister Qi was on the side, but he had an expression of imminent victory.

"How? Grandpa Huang, you have finished reading, please announce the result after reading. Sheng Zhiyao opened his mouth and urged.

The emperor did not pronounce the verdict immediately, but first took the rice paper and carefully observed it for a moment: "You didn't write these words deliberately, did you?" ”

"No, if you look at the prescription I wrote before, you will know that it is my own words." Sheng Zhiyao replied affirmatively.

"You're right, this letter was indeed not written by you, but your handwriting is seven or eight points similar to the font on this letter, so I don't dare to announce the result rashly, or wait for Grandpa Cui to bring your prescription and announce the result, what do you think?" The Emperor asked.

"No problem, then I'll wait for Grandpa Cui to come and verify it with my own eyes."

The emperor nodded: "Okay, then let Gonggong Cui speed up." ”

Soon, there was a rush of footsteps.

Gonggong Cui ran in from outside the hall, and he was followed by Zhang Yuanju.

After Zhang Yuan entered the door, he knelt on the ground: "Weichen see Your Majesty." ”

"Oh, why did Yuan Zhang's sentence come?" The Emperor asked, confused.

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen heard that Gonggong Cui was going to come to find the prescription prescribed by the county lord, thinking that there was something wrong and followed him without authorization, and then he heard Gonggong Cui explain that he wanted to investigate the handwriting of the county lord and recommended himself, can you let Weichen see the words written by the county lord?"

When the emperor heard this, he handed both pieces of paper to Zhang Yuanju, and then asked: "I remember that day in the Purple Phoenix Palace, you saw with your own eyes the prescription written by the county lord, so you can tell which one was written by the county lord." ”

"Yes." Zhang Yuanju took the paper and looked at it, only to see him frowning, looking at it for a long time, and finally nodded and raised the rice paper in his hand: "This." ”

"What about this?" The Emperor asked.

"Although this is very similar to the handwriting of the county lord, it is not." Zhang Yuanju said affirmatively.

"Is it because the old eyes are faint? How could this not be! Prime Minister Qi exclaimed.

"Qi Xiang, although I am over the age of six, but my eyes are not blind, you like to open your eyes and talk nonsense, you look at these medicinal materials written by the county lord." Zhang Yuanju held up the two pieces of paper in his hand to Prime Minister Qi's eyes.

I saw Zhang Yuanju pointing to one of the pieces of paper and said: "Look at these two words, although they look very similar, they are not the same person's handwriting, the county lord's word is a stroke every time, and this piece of paper is obviously more vigorous and powerful, and because of excessive force, the ink is very rich." ”

"What about this?" Prime Minister Qi also stretched his neck to look.

"It's not either, just look at the strokes and know it's not the same person." Zhang Yuanju continued.

"This ......" Prime Minister Qi was speechless for a while.

"Judge Zhang, you can identify it again, is this word what you said?" The Emperor asked in a deep voice.

Zhang Yuanju nodded: "Back to Your Majesty, this letter is indeed not the handwriting of the county lord, but it is very similar to the font written by the county lord, but it is indeed not written by the county lord, which the old minister dares to guarantee." ”

After listening to Zhang Yuan's explanation, the emperor was even more sure that the letter was fake, he turned around and stared at Prime Minister Qi with a sharp gaze: "What else do you have to say." ”

Prime Minister Qi was panicked by the emperor's gaze, but he still said strongly: "Your Majesty, Weichen will never wronged any good person, let alone any bad person, Weichen trusts his intuition, there must be something strange about this matter, and I hope the emperor will investigate it." ”

"Okay, then I'll give you one last chance, is this letter written by the county lord?"

"Back to the emperor, this is indeed what the minister found on the Black Shadow Assassin, as for whether it was written by the county lord himself, the minister doesn't know." Prime Minister Qi gritted his teeth and said firmly.

The emperor was furious when he heard this: "Prime Minister Qi, you are really bold, just now you insisted that this letter was written by the county lord, and now you have changed the words, do you know that bullying the monarch and framing the county lord is a capital crime!" ”

"The old minister did not deceive the king and framed him, and asked the emperor to learn clearly, and the old minister is willing to accept the guilt!"

"You ......"

"Forget it, since I returned to the capital, I have been framed by them, and it is not bad this time, and what they said is not not the truth, this letter is indeed the same as what I wrote, and there are many people who have seen my words, but there are only so many people who can get the real thing to copy, but I don't know what the purpose of Prime Minister Qi is." Sheng Zhiyao opened his mouth to persuade.

Hearing this, the emperor looked at Prime Minister Qi and said in a cold tone: "Prime Minister Qi, do you have anything to say?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister didn't have any other purpose, but the minister was assassinated and injured, and he lost his mind for a while, so he mistakenly thought that this letter was written by the county lord." Prime Minister Qi lowered his head and said in a low tone.

"Oh? Do you still suspect that your assassin was sent by the county lord? ”

"The old minister didn't dare to doubt the county lord, but this letter was indeed the same as hers, and the old minister couldn't explain it."

"Okay, Sheng Lixin will show Qi Xiang the testimony of the head of the royal court." The Emperor commanded.

Sheng Lixin hurriedly took out a piece of evidence from his arms and handed it to Prime Minister Qi.

Prime Minister Qi opened the evidence and looked at it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became, and finally he raised his head suddenly, and a pair of tiger eyes were round: "This...... This assassin was sent by the head of the royal court? ”

"Well, that's right, it was the head of the royal court who told Ben Hou that he wanted to take revenge on Prime Minister Qi, and he had already confessed that the queen's poisoning was done by him alone."

"How could he do such a thing?" Prime Minister Qi exclaimed, he looked at Sheng Lixin in disbelief.

"That's right, the head of the royal court said this in person, this is also what we heard with our own ears, he admitted that he was the mastermind behind the scenes, and Prime Minister Qi, the head of the royal court, he has now ruled himself in fear of crime."

"The head of the royal court is him, and he is dead?" Prime Minister Qi was very surprised, but he was very happy in his heart, because as soon as the head of the royal court died, he was completely unthreatened.
