Liu Xun said lightly: "Any seal is carved by people, and it is not difficult for a clever craftsman to paint a scoop in the same way." ”

Su Shi didn't seem to have anything to do, and was silent for a while before he said slowly: "In this way, the seal stamped on that contract is not only an old official seal, but also a fake. ”

Liu Xun sighed: "That's right. ”

Su Shi frowned and said: "This makes me a little puzzled, since Jiang Qinghe wants to engrave a fake official seal, why not forge a new official seal, but imitate the old official seal?" Moreover, forging official seals is a major crime of killing heads, and what craftsman dares to do this? ”

Liu Xun smiled and said, "Su Gongzi's words just explain why Jiang Qinghe didn't forge a new official seal, but imitated the old official seal. ”

Su Shi was slightly stunned: "Really?" ”

"It is true that forging an official seal is a great crime of killing the head, but the old official seal has been abolished, and forging an official seal that has been abolished is much less sinful. The so-called wealth is moving, presumably Jiang Qinghe gave the craftsman enough money, so he was moved by the craftsman to forge the abolished official seal for him. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Xun jokingly said: "Jiang Qinghe was killed, maybe it was because of the uneven distribution of spoils, which led to his death. ”

Su Shi was silent for a while, and it seemed that he could no longer speak. Seeing that the matter had been done, Liu Xun looked at Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu nodded slightly.

Liu Xun was about to retire, when Su Shi suddenly sighed: "I still have one last question I want to ask Liu Siyue." ”

Liu Xun had to stop and look at Su Shi: "I don't know if Su Gongzi has any questions?" ”

"After the new official seal is activated, what will happen to the old official seal? Is it in-place destruction? Or will you collect it? ”

Liu Xun saw that Su Shi's last question was such a simple question, and he replied easily: "The Covenant Division is subordinate to the Ministry of Households, so the official seals are all made and issued by the Ministry of Households, and after the official seal is abolished, the abolished official seals will also be handed over to the Ministry of Households." As for what the household department will do, Su Gongzi can go and ask the household department. ”

"In this way, the old official seal is in the household department."

"Exactly."

After hearing this, Su Shi bowed his hand to Liu Xun and said, "Thank you Liu Siyue, there is no problem in the next place." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone except Zhou Jin was slightly stunned, because they didn't expect Su Shi to admit defeat so quickly.

Although Tian Wenhao was full of suspicions, he saw that Su Shi had already admitted defeat and didn't want to make any more trouble, so he stepped forward and was about to urge Qiu Buwei to judge the case as soon as possible.

However, as soon as he stepped forward, Su Shi spoke at this time.

"Master Tian."

Tian Wenhao immediately looked at him vigilantly and asked, "What advice does Gongzi Su have?" ”

Su Shi said: "I don't dare to give advice, I just want to thank Master Tian on behalf of others." ”

This sentence was so clueless that Tian Wenhao was confused, he looked at Su Shi suspiciously, and couldn't help asking, "What does Su Gongzi mean by this?" ”

Su Shi smiled and said: "Actually, Master Maeda's carriage didn't hit the young man three days, the young man just fell down by himself because he was too frightened." Master Tian kindly took ten taels of silver to see a doctor for the young man, so the mother and son asked me to thank Master Tian. ”

Tian Wenhao's pupils suddenly shrank like a needle, and a huge shadow suddenly surged in his heart, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

He forcibly endured the shock in his heart, took a deep breath, and asked slowly, "I didn't expect that Su Gongzi was also present at that time." ”

Su Shi said lightly: "I was resting in the house at the time, how could I be on the scene." ”

At this time, Tian Wenhao's brain was running rapidly, because he had to immediately figure out why Su Shi was planning to drag him that day.

Suddenly, Tian Wenhao's expression changed greatly, his face also lost his blood, and the whole person was almost shaky under the shock.

Zhou Yu was originally sitting in the public court, and when he saw the strange look on Tian Wenhao's face, he couldn't help but lean forward slightly and looked directly at Tian Wenhao.

Liu Xun was about to leave, when he heard the conversation between Su Shi and Tian Wenhao, and saw Tian Wenhao's frightened appearance, infinite doubts floated in his heart, and his feet couldn't move for half a minute.

At this time, Su Shi looked at Liu Xun again and said, "Liu Siyue." ”

Liu Xun was startled, and looked at him a little bewildered.

Su Shi sighed: "Liu Siyue wants to leave at this time, but I'm afraid he won't be able to leave." ”

Liu Xun blurted out, "Why?" ”

Su Shi smiled and said, "Although I don't have any questions, there are still people who want to ask Liu Siyue." ”

When Liu Xun was about to ask, the crowd watching outside the yamen suddenly became chaotic, and then a strong voice sounded loudly: "The secret guard handles the case, and the idlers avoid it." ”

The crowd dodged in both directions, making way for a wide path to get out.

At the end of the road, a burly middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes appeared. Dressed in a dark gold robe with a pure black token hanging from his waist, he strode towards the county office, followed by ten secret guards wearing dark round-necked robes.

As soon as the middle-aged man walked into the public hall and saw Zhou Yu and Zhou Jin, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Tang Lin, the commander of the dark guard, see His Royal Highness King Qi and Princess Pingle." The official was on official business, and he failed to pay the full courtesy, and asked His Royal Highness King Qi and Princess Pingle to forgive his sins. ”

Zhou Yu had already stood up at this time, looked at Tang Lin suspiciously, and asked in a deep voice, "I don't know what official Commander Tang has when he comes here?" ”

Tang Lin clenched his fists again and said: "Back to the King of Qi, the lower officials are ordered to take Liu Xun and Tian Wenhao, the master of the Dongyuan Quality Library, back for questioning. ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xun almost collapsed, and then was held hostage by two secret guards left and right, Tian Wenhao was much calmer than Liu Xun, his body was still upright, but his eyes were always staring at Su Shi.

At this time, Zhou Yu asked coldly again: "I don't know what happened to these two people, and they want to be arrested by the secret guards?" ”

Tang Lin replied: "The lower official is just acting on orders, and he doesn't know anything else. ”

Zhou Yu was furious in his heart and was about to speak, but at this time, he only heard Tian Wenhao sigh: "Master Su." ”

Su Shi said: "Mr. Tian has something to say." ”

Tian Wenhao said slowly: "Is Jiang Qinghe still alive?" ”

Everyone was shocked again, and Zhou Yu was even more shocked, and his eyes looked at Su Shi fiercely.

Su Shi said: "Yes, Jiang Qinghe is still alive, and the body found in Cuiyun Mountain is just a death row prisoner who is seven or eight points similar to Jiang Qinghe. ”

"Liu Tan and Zhao Gang have naturally taken refuge in the Qianqiu Quality Library."

Su Shi shook his head and said: "It's not about taking refuge, these two people killed people in broad daylight and were caught by the secret guards, they are just guilty of meritorious service." ”

Tian Wenhao looked at him indifferently and continued: "The reason why Su Gongzi let that mother and son delay my trip is naturally because he doesn't want me to see Liu Tan and Zhao Gang. ”

Su Shi nodded: "Although these two people want to make meritorious contributions, whether they look or act very unnaturally when they go back to their lives, Bai Jiangchuan is a straw bag and can't see it, but Mr. Tian's eyes are like torches, and he will definitely detect the abnormality in them, so he has to make this decision." ”
