Following.

County office.

Su Ting and his cousin arrived first, but the chief steward of the Sun family did not come here first.

After a short time, people from the official family came one after another, and many people surrounded the door.

But the people of the Sun family have not yet arrived.

It must be known that the Sun family's chief steward that day was the first to wait here.

"Wait a minute. ”

Su Ting turned his head and smiled at his cousin.

Su Yuefeng listened to his explanation, relaxed a little, and then saw the scene in front of him, the Sun family's chief steward did not appear, and thought that things were really as Su Ting thought.

As for the above, Fang Qing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is the Sun family still a future person?"

Some catchers quickly replied: "Go back to your lordship, I haven't seen anyone from the Sun family." ”

Fang Qing frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

He looked at Su Ting, only to see that Su Ting's expression was still flat, with a slight light smile, and he couldn't help but have some guesses in his heart.

The Sun family is delayed?

The Sun family can be said to be a big family, and there is no shortage of a steward, this person is delayed, and then another person is, how can there be no movement at all?

"Your Excellency. The master approached and said in a low voice: "According to the law, we should go and remind us, but if there is no response after the reminder, it is that the Sun family has abandoned this lawsuit on its own, and the winner is Su Ting." ”

"Hmm. Fang Qing raised his hand, intending to judge Su Ting's victory, but he still remembered that he was an official and remembered the right path in his heart, so he finally took a deep breath and said: "According to the laws of the imperial court, those who are absent without reason are regarded as delaying, and they are abandoning the lawsuit, and the outcome is decided." However, the law is tolerant and there is a reason to avoid things, and the official should negotiate with the Sun family according to the law. ”

The onlookers outside didn't know what was going on, and they were still waiting for someone from the Sun family to come.

Hearing Fang Qing say this, everyone knew the clue.

There is a lot of discussion at the moment, and it seems quite noisy.

"I think the Sun family must be a fake contract, and the appraisal is not true, so I don't dare to show up. ”

In the discussion, this sentence is particularly loud.

Su Ting turned his head and looked over, and found that it was the boy from before who said this.

Although Su Ting felt that he had the chance to win, he couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, and automatically recorded three strings of sugar gourds in his heart, and in the future, he took back the store and made money, and then counted the boy.

"Someone. ”

"Your Excellency. ”

"You two, go to Sun's house. ”

......

The Sun family.

At this time, the sun is shining.

But within the Sun family, it was almost cloudy.

The outsiders had retreated, and there were only three people in the lobby.

It was the head of the Sun family, the chief steward, and Elder Liang, these three had already known about the change in the contract yesterday.

In fact, this ink did not disappear overnight. ”

Liang Lao said in a low tone: "It stands to reason that it is gradually fading, maybe it was because you often saw it before, there was no comparison, no notice, this time, sealed for a few days, the dullness inside, it became a little obvious." ”

The head of the Sun family had a gloomy face and turned his head to look over.

The chief steward's heart trembled, and he said in a low voice: "Although I didn't pay much attention to the handwriting before, it won't be so shallow, and it is in the past few days that the handwriting has disappeared quickly." ”

"Oh?" Liang Lao raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there really such an ink, which has not changed for a period of time before, and disappeared immediately overnight?"

He has been immersed in the Dharma for decades.

It is not entirely unaware of the several types of squid ink.

But to say that there was no change before, and after a period of time, it disappeared immediately, which made him feel strange.

When the head of the Sun family heard this, his brows tightened, and he said, "Brother Liang is also surprised by this kind of ink?"

Liang Lao pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I have never heard of this kind of ink. ”

"Oh?"

The head of the Sun family stood with his hands in his hands, a cold color flashed in his eyes, and said, "This is really strange. ”

Liang Lao asked, "How strange?"

The head of the Sun family said in a deep voice: "This person is young, shallow, sickly, and stays at home, and his experience is weaker than that of ordinary teenagers. And, since I was born in Luoyue County, I have never set foot in other places, where did I get my knowledge?"

He paced slowly, and gradually said, "Such a small frog at the bottom of the well can use such means that you, a character who has been immersed in the ** method for decades, can't recognize it?"

Liang Lao was also surprised when he heard him say this, but he was also a little embarrassed, took a deep breath, and said: "People in my generation are immersed in the way of calligraphy, and they are familiar with pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, but after all, they focus on 'calligraphy', not on distinguishing and thinking as the main thing. The old man really didn't know much, but he didn't necessarily know what an extraordinary means he had. ”

The head of the Sun family took the contract, his face became more and more gloomy, and the anger in his heart became heavier, so he wanted to tear it directly, but found that there were still a few faint traces on it.

Since last night, the traces have faded and faded.

In the morning, it was faint.

But after all, there are still some traces.

His gaze was slightly condensed, and he glanced at the chief steward, and made a look.

Immediately, I saw the purple-robed old man snort coldly and threw the contract out.

The chief steward exclaimed, and hurriedly stepped forward to take it, he looked at the contract, and suddenly exclaimed, "It's not that there is no way." ”

The cry was full of surprise.

Liang Lao tilted his head to look.

I saw the chief steward say: "Mr. Liang's calligraphy is famous in the Great Zhou, as long as you draw the gourd according to the traces on it and copy it, isn't it the same as his Su Ting's own handwriting, no different at all?"

This proposal made the lobby fall silent.

The gaze of the head of the Sun family quickly swept over Liang Lao, and immediately retracted it, as if he had never heard of it.

And Liang Lao's face was ugly, and he said in a low voice: "It is not easy to imitate handwriting. Whether the pen is light or heavy will make the font thickness appear different. Whether the pen is smooth or not will make the text feel completely different. If I start writing in a hurry, it is not difficult to hide it from ordinary people, but I have heard that the staff under Fang Qing of Luoyue County are very old, have a wide range of knowledge, and their attainments in writing are not low. ”

"Why don't you try?" said the chief steward urgently.

"If you want to use the reputation of the Sun family to try, you can't do it. Liang Lao snorted and said coldly: "It's just that although the old man can't look at the Su Ting kid who deceived him with thief ink, he won't violate the law, the calligraphy, and the heart." ”

He stood up, waved his sleeves and said, "You are willing to try with the reputation of the Sun family, and the old man is not willing to risk ruining his reputation and tarnish his reputation when he is old." ”

At this point, it is obvious that he is already angry.

The chief steward trembled and did not dare to speak.

The head of the Sun family had expected it, and he hadn't spoken before, so he pretended not to know, but just wanted to see if the chief steward could convince him. Now it seems that this surnamed Liang is still stubborn to the extreme, and he is still so stubborn, it is really difficult to convince.

At this time, I heard the head of the Sun family snort coldly: "Nonsense, how can you let Brother Liang condescend to do such a thing?

When Liang Lao heard this, his face softened.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside.
