It's just that after Shangguan Qian saw the content inside, the curvature that the corners of his mouth had just raised just now fell little by little, and it became gloomy.

This letter was not written by the envoy he sent, but by Du Hua, the Taishou of Qingcheng, and every word written in the letter made him tremble, and his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.

In the letter, Du Hua wrote that he had fallen for a trick two days ago, and the villain was mixed in the house, and he joined forces with his eldest wife to steal the letters between himself and Shangguan Qian and the subordinate officials of Qingcheng, as well as the account books of these years.

Although he ordered a reward for a few people in Qingcheng and the nearby state capital, he found nothing for several days, and he did not get any evidence.

Therefore, he was worried that this group of thieves was premeditated and might be unfavorable to Shangguan Qian, so he hurriedly reported the matter.

When Shangguan Qian saw this, he only felt a feeling of depression in his heart, and he was almost about to vomit blood, so he stopped looking down, and directly smashed his hand viciously on the table, which caused the tea on the table to be shaken out.

"What kind of thing is this, how can Du Hua be so brainless, he can't even manage the affairs of his own house, and it is a big waste to ask a woman to get these things!"

"And this person has lost something and hasn't told this king in time, do you think that your ability is big enough, you have to wait until now to write a letter!"

Huan Lang beside him saw that he was so angry, and he couldn't guess what it was that made Shangguan Qian so angry, so he took the letter from his hand and hurriedly flipped through it twice.

After he finished reading it, his face also became extremely bad.

"This Du Hua, I remember that he is very measured in doing things, how can he fall for this kind of scheme, if those things fall into the hands of someone with a heart, you will be too dangerous, the prince!"

There are any truths that Guan Qian doesn't understand, but at the moment, he can only try to think in his mind, if things really come to the worst, what should be good.

"Wait, eldest prince, this Du Hua said that the envoy we sent this year still has the gold medal certificate you gave him, and he is still very young, why do I think this description doesn't sound like our people?"

Huan Lang read the second half of Shangguan Qian's unfinished letter several times, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked.

"Yes, there are no gold medals, they should be carrying the king's dictation, where are the gold medals, and those people are middle-aged, there are no young people."

Shangguan Qian heard him ask, and hurriedly suppressed the anger in his heart first, took the letter, and honestly read the second half, and then explained with some disbelief.

"Could it be that Du Hua was confused for a while because of the events of the past two days, and he remembered it wrong?"

Huan Lang shook his head, feeling that this possibility was not too great.

"There shouldn't be a mistake, if the humble position is not mistaken, there are only two people who have been rewarded with gold medals by the emperor now, such a landmark thing, how can Du Hua admit his mistake, it must be because the other party took out this thing and made him too surprised."

As he spoke, an answer in his heart was coming to the surface more and more at the moment, but this made him feel a little flustered.

"The eldest prince, do you think that the envoy Du Hua saw is fake, and it is pretended by someone else?"

"Fake? Impossible, impossible, certainly impossible......"

Listening to his words, although Shangguan Qian kept denying it on his lips, he had gradually begun to believe this answer in his heart.

I was getting more and more panicked in my heart, if Du Hua even saw the envoy was fake, then this conspiracy must have been aimed at him alone from beginning to end.

The other party knew that he had made those small moves in Qingcheng, and deliberately hit his seven inches, wanting to pull himself off the horse.

Who the hell is it?

Lay down this dense and dense net, and don't let yourself go.

It's just that the money is lost, and sooner or later I will find a way to earn it, but if those evidence fall into the hands of my father, I am afraid that I will directly lose the qualification to run for the throne this time.

"The eldest prince, I remember that in addition to you, there is another person with a gold medal in this capital, but I forgot it for a while, do you still remember?"

Huan Lang wanted to start with the gold medal, after all, he had also seen the gold medal in Shangguan Qian's hand, and knew that this thing could not be easily imitated because of the special workmanship and the fact that it was made of secret gold.

What can make Du Hua think it is true, it may probably be true.

The other one with the gold medal may be the biggest culprit in the plot, and if you find him, you can make the next decision.

Shangguan Qian thought about it and said without thinking.

"It's Shangguan Chen! Yes, it is Shangguan Chen, the king's good thirteenth brother, this king remembers that because of that year's birthday, only the gift I sent with him was the most in line with my father's heart, so we each rewarded us with a gold medal, and the others didn't even have Shangguan Yu and Shangguan Ling. ”

"Do you suspect that the thirteenth brother did something in it? But these days he has been with his father every day, and he has not been rewarded with a mansion until now, and has been living in the palace, so the king thinks it is unlikely to be him. ”

Because there is a custom in the imperial court, the emperor will only reward them with mansions after they are sixteen years old, and before that, they must always live in the palace.

The current Shangguan Chen had just celebrated his fourteenth birthday two or three months ago, so naturally he had to stay in the palace for two more years.

In the palace, he is bound to do anything, and Shangguan Qian is not stupid enough to think that Shangguan Chen has the ability to plot these things.

Huan Lang shook his head and spoke.

"If that gold medal is owned by the Thirteenth Prince, the humble position will not be suspected of him, but it will be suspected of the people around him."

"The eldest prince might as well go to the thirteenth prince and ask to see if he has lent the gold medal to someone these days, if he doesn't have it in his hand or speaks heavily, this matter may be a little tired."

Shangguan Qian nodded, he felt that it would definitely not be difficult to ask Shangguan Chen a little kid.

After all, his thirteenth emperor brother has a very straightforward personality, and he has always had one thing to say, and with such a character, he will definitely not say any lies.

"This king will naturally ask, but we have to prepare for the worst now, if these things are really stabbed in my father's place, how can I justify myself."

Shangguan Qian didn't dare to have any luck at this time, this series of things could not be accidental, it was clearly planned by others.

Now that he is in the light, the gang is in the shadows, and he doesn't even know where they came from.

This is already very dangerous.

"Don't worry, the eldest prince, I remember that you don't have many letters with Du Hua, and there are only one or two this year, right?"

Shangguan Qian saw Huan Lang asking a question, and quickly nodded.

"It's really not much, because at the end of last year, he quietly came to the capital, and we met and said everything that should be said, so there are not many letters this year."

"This king remembers clearly, there are only two letters, one is for him to tell the people below to have a little look, don't offend people who shouldn't be offended, and the other is that this king told him that he will send someone to Qingcheng to collect money in person in the near future."

Seeing him say this, Huan Lang breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was no longer so flustered, and he opened his mouth to say the plan he had just conceived.

"That's good, the eldest prince's handwriting is not easy to show, and it has not been revealed in front of the emperor this year, and a person's handwriting will not be fixed forever, so the eldest prince can deny everything at that time."

"When the time comes, if someone holds on to the evidence and refuses to let go, the eldest prince will say that Du Hua deliberately framed you and fabricated a letter based on your handwriting in the past."

"So the eldest prince should quickly change his handwriting a little before the matter breaks out, and then write more things, which can be refuted as evidence at that time."

Yes, if a letter is used as evidence, only the handwriting can be believed, and if it is the same, it can be proved to be true, and if it is different, it is naturally forged.

If you make people believe that their handwriting is very different from last year's, the so-called evidence is no longer so convincing.

Shangguan Qian thought of this, and also felt that on the road that seemed to be a desperate situation, a sheep intestine path suddenly appeared, and he was really another village this time, and there was still a way back to go.

Huan Lang saw that the melancholy on his face was gone, and hurriedly admonished.

"Don't relax the eldest prince, this is just a way to do it, unless it is absolutely necessary, we still don't use it lightly, after all, there will definitely be many people who don't believe in it at that time, and even the emperor will be very suspicious of you."

"Before that, we have to make all preparations, first of all, we must quickly investigate who these things are in now, and secondly, we must notify the precious concubine in the palace, so that she can act at the opportunity, and blow the wind in the ears of the emperor these days."

"The most important thing is that in the past two days, the eldest prince must hurry up to contact the ministers we have befriended, and tell them to keep an eye on it, in case this matter is opened in the court, tell them to say more good things for you, and that Du Hua, you must let his mouth shut up for me."

Huan Lang explained his plan step by step in an orderly manner, and all aspects were taken into account, which can be said to be a perfect remedial plan.

It's just that in this matter, they are indeed in the light, and they can't see how Su Muwan and the others in the dark can control it, so they naturally lose the opportunity.
