Chapter 43: Fade as if there were no traces
The head of the Sun family sighed and sighed a lot.
Liang Lao has known him for a long time, but it is the first time he has seen this old friend who is strategizing and has strong wrists, and he has become so sentimental, and his surprise has become more and more serious between his eyebrows.
"Gaffes, gaffes. The head of the Sun family came to his senses, seemed to notice that he had said something more, immediately shook his head, and quietly turned the conversation around, saying, "I still have to bother Brother Liang." ”
"No trouble. Liang Lao waved his hand and said: "It's just a matter of identifying a contract, for me, it's not a difficult matter, unless he is one of the few people at that time, he can hide it from me." ”
"Haha, it's not enough to hide it from Brother Liang. The head of the Sun family said: "Moreover, Brother Liang is only afraid that he has misunderstood." ”
"Oh?" asked Elder Liang, "What do you mean by that?"
"Brother Liang thinks that to identify the authenticity, he wants to take a look at it for me, whether this contract is forged by others?"
"Isn't it?"
"Naturally not. The head of the Sun family stroked his beard and smiled: "This contract was not forged by this person, but was set by my Sun family, bought with money, and let the other party sign his name." It's just that the other party now denies it, saying that my Sun family is cheating, and someone needs to identify the authenticity, so I cheekily invited Brother Liang, with Brother Liang's reputation, as long as this contract is true, the government will have no objection, and this person has nothing to say, so, that's it. ”
"I signed the contract, but I didn't recognize it?" When Liang Lao heard this, he was suddenly annoyed, snorted, and said: "What I hate most in my life is not keeping the contract and playing scoundrels. ”
As he spoke, the old man waved his sleeves slightly and said, "If this is the case, I must help you, but the ugly words are ahead, and the truth of the contract is up to me!"
He looked at it and said in a deep voice: "Brother Sun, if you even deceive me, I won't be biased towards you with a clear conscience." ”
The head of the Sun family smiled dumbly, and said: "Hahaha, how can I not know your character, you can rest assured, Sun Mou has done things in this life, not how bright and upright he is, but at least what he dares to put in front of your Brother Liang is by no means a dirty thing." ”
Elder Liang nodded and said, "That's fine." ”
......
Between the two of them, they had reached the pavilion.
However, after a long time, the night pearl has arrived, the light is soft, warm as the moonlight.
Lights were added to the two sides, and the hall became brighter and brighter.
Finally, the chief steward came in a hurry, seeing that he was disheveled, and it seemed that after receiving the news, he didn't have time to tidy up his appearance, so he hurried over.
"You bastard, why are you so rude?"
The head of the Sun family snorted, but there was a touch of appreciation at the moment.
The chief steward has been by his side for many years, and when he heard the deep meaning of the words, he was overjoyed, and his face showed a look of panic, and he said in a low voice: "The villain is afraid that he will miss the big matter between the head of the family and Mr. Liang, so he came in a hurry, and he is willing to accept the punishment for the rudeness." ”
The head of the Sun family pretended to be annoyed and was about to speak.
Liang Lao waved his hand and said, "There are extenuating circumstances, there is no need to punish it." It's your contract, take it quickly, and let the old man take a closer look. ”
There was a wooden box in the chief steward's arms, tightly closed, tightly sealed, and there was still a little dust outside, which had been sealed for several days for safety.
When Liang Lao saw this, he knew that the Sun family really attached great importance to it, otherwise it was just a thin piece of paper, why would it be so sealed?
The head of the Sun family took the wooden box, and immediately took out an object from his arms, which was like a key, turned over the wooden box, and turned around at the bottom.
With a soft sound, the wooden box opened.
"This contract is not heavy, but the things involved are really extremely important to my Sun family. ”
The head of the Sun family looked at Liang Lao and said with a smile: "I let the steward seal it, bury it in the dark grid, and order people to guard it day and night, never leave an inch, and hold it so far, and I don't dare to make a mistake." ”
Liang Lao frowned and said, "So important?"
Although the head of the Sun family is cautious, he has never judged the situation and will never make a big fuss.
Shicai has already learned from the mouth of the head of the Sun family, he vaguely knows that the other party is just an orphan, a sick and weak boy, a frog at the bottom of the well, relying on a shop, relying on youth and ignorance, ignoring the law, and denying death.
But such a speechless rogue boy can make the Sun family so cautious?
Maybe it's not this teenager, but the chance in the store.
The head of the Sun family takes this opportunity too seriously.
What kind of chance?
Liang Lao's heart was full of curiosity, but he also knew that the head of the Sun family had changed the conversation before, and he didn't say it explicitly, that is, he had no intention of explaining.
"Take it out. ”
The wooden box was opened, and the inside was covered with satin, and on top of it was an ordinary contract paper.
Liang Lao took it with both hands to show his attention, and his eyes gradually swept over to see what the contract said.
It's nothing else, it's just the ownership of a store, and it's worth no more than twenty taels.
Seeing this, Liang Lao felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he also knew that a store should not only have twenty taels.
But it doesn't matter, what matters is whether the teenager really signed his name willingly?
Liang Lao's gaze swept away, stopped at the place where he was named, and was immediately stunned.
"How?"
Seeing this, the head of the Sun family couldn't help asking.
Liang Lao was silent for a moment, his eyes on the contract paper, scanning back and forth, and seemed to compare with each other.
The handwriting of this name seems to be much lighter than the handwriting written on the contract above. ”
Liang Lao's voice seemed hesitant and seemed a little strange.
However, the head of the Sun family, as well as the steward of the Sun family, were all shocked.
The head of the Sun family immediately stepped forward and looked at the handwriting on the contract.
By the moonlight, by the pearl, by the candle, the word "Su Ting" can be vaguely seen.
However, these two words, the ink is light, compared to the day before yesterday, it is much lighter, compared to the handwriting written in the contract above, almost faint, almost no trace.
"This ...... This ......"
"How so?"
The chief steward trembled, his voice trembling.
The head of the Sun family turned his head, his eyes were like ice, and he said, "How can this be?"
The chief steward knelt down in an instant, and said in a trembling voice: "Villain...... The villain doesn't know that these days, the villain has been sealed in a dark grid, no one has ever touched it, no one has seen it, and it will never be replaced. ”
The head of the Sun family never thought that the arrangement was so thorough, he looked so cautious, and even did not hesitate to make a big fuss, but something happened to him, he raised his hand, and he was murderous.
This time, he killed the steward who had been by his side for decades.
"Slow ......"
Mr. Liang suddenly spoke: "It's not his fault. ”
The head of the Sun family put down his hand and looked at Elder Liang.
The chief steward spent the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and his eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at Liang Lao.
"Brother Liang knows the reason?"
"Guess a thing or two. ”
"Why is this so? This contract is not hidden from Brother Liang, but I have personally seen it and confirmed that it is correct. ”
"It was true before, but now after a while, it's different. ”
"Why?"
"I have been immersed in this art for many years, and I know that some inks, unlike usual, can be indifferent after writing, and can be indifferent for a long time, and are often used as a means of forging contracts. ”
After a pause, Liang Lao said in a deep voice: "Brother Sun, you have been working for half your life, which is terrifying, this time, I am afraid that you are following this young man's way!"
The head of the Sun family fell silent.
The chief steward lowered his head even more, trembling, and did not dare to speak.
