After rebirth, I became the villain's Mr.

The memorials that were not there last night suddenly reappeared out of thin air, excluding the option of Hua Yuntai playing with himself, the rest is that someone came to Daku just before they came, and put these memorials back.

Daku usually doesn't have many people here, so the servant remembers it very clearly, and immediately said: "Xu Shangshu came this morning. It's strange to say that Yang Shangshu came a few days ago, but he didn't borrow anything to leave, but I don’t know what the two trips to the big library are for.”

Tao Jiusi and Zhu Shunli looked at each other, and they knew in their hearts that Xu Shangshu probably followed Duan Shuiming's memorial.

But now Zhu Shunli does not have the power to review the case. Without evidence, there is absolutely no way to go to Xu Shangshu for questioning, let alone search Xu's house. For the present, the only way is to ask Hua Yuntai to visit Xu's house again , Look at what tricks this Xu Shangshu hides.

The two thanked the servants and turned back together. As soon as they reached the entrance of the official department, they saw Du Qingyao waiting at the door.

Du Qingyao saw Tao Jiusi, and walked over with strides: "Brother Tao, you were late for work again, which made me think something happened to you."

Du Qingyao approached again, and said in a low voice: "I suspect that Concubine Du Gui is doing something tricky, please be careful."

Zhu Shunli said, "How do you say it?"

Du Qingyao: "I wanted to meet my aunt today, so I could talk to her, but guess what? The Meng family actually stopped me from entering! This is the first time I've been growing up, so who knew she was secretly What are you busy with?"

For some reason, Tao Jiusi suddenly thought of Concubine Du Gui's fake pregnancy, and murmured, "Perhaps the seeds have blossomed and bear fruit, and now she is waiting to harvest."

After Du Qingyao was reminded by him, he also thought of Concubine Du Gui's fake pregnancy, and couldn't help but think deeply. No one knew why Tao Jiusi dragged her back to the Ministry of Officials.

In the clan mansion, Wei Chengxue rested with his eyes closed on a narrow and broken bed.This time, he was not imprisoned in a dungeon full of rats and bugs, but in a small room facing west.

This room is very small, only big enough to fit a bed, and this room is also very dark. During the day, it is illuminated by a small transom window, and at night it is not lit, allowing the people living in it to blend in with the darkness. as one.I don't know which sage in this dynasty said that the darkness makes people think, and the crampedness makes people think. The existence of this dungeon in the clan mansion is in response to these two sentences. The prisoners who live in it reflect during the day and meditate at night. I really can do a good self-examination, strive for an early confession, and be an honest person.

Wei Chengxue lives in it, like a philosopher, despite the difficult environment, but still leisurely and leisurely, and has truly achieved "not to be happy with things and not to be sad with oneself".

"Your Majesty, it's time to eat." The iron gate squeaked, and a servant dressed as a jailer, holding a pottery bowl, passed through the gap in the iron gate with one hand, and passed food inside.

Wei Lingxue opened his eyes, and the sharpness and sharpness poured out in an instant.He straightened up, walked to the iron gate, sat down cross-legged, and picked up the bowl of brown rice with a few vegetarian dishes.

"Your Highness," the servant not only didn't leave, but lowered his voice: "Eunuch Hua asked me to tell you that Concubine Du Gui has agreed and has already started preparations."

Wei Lingxue ate his meal in a leisurely manner, but did not answer the conversation.

The servant said again: "Master Tao is also trying to find a way, and he has already found Xu Shangshu."

Hearing the word Master Tao, Wei Lingxue finally changed his expression.

Through the light coming in from the window, the servant saw the unsmiling eldest prince, and seemed to be smiling. Just as he saw it in doubt, he heard the eldest prince sigh and say: "I made him worry, the third son really deserves to die."

The servant trembled when he heard the words, and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at Wei Lingxue again.

Silently waiting for Wei Chengxue to finish eating, he cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, and was about to step back when the first prince said again: "What does Mr. Tao do every day, no matter how big or small, tell me in the future."

The waiter Nuo left with a bowl in his hand.

Wei Lingxue turned around and stood under the small transom, took out the jade pendant she asked for from Tao Jiusi, and stared at the sun carefully.

Yesterday among the jade pendants, he accidentally found a small emblem, which seemed familiar to him, but he couldn't remember where he saw it.

Wei Lingxue was thinking hard, and his good teacher, Tao Jiusi, a doctor in the official department, was also sitting in Nanny Gui's small courtyard, frowning.

Tao Jiusi: "You mean, everything is normal with Xu Shangshu?"

Hua Yuntai nodded: "I've been watching him since he came home and rested, and I didn't find any problems. I also checked his house. Xu Shangshu's eldest daughter and second daughter are married, and there are only him and his wife at home. There is also a young son who is only ten years old, and he does not have any followers who can write."

Zhu Shunli also followed here today, and after hearing what Hua Yuntai said, he said strangely: "Imitating human notes to frame the prince, this kind of thing that will lose your head if people find out, usually you do it yourself or find cronies, Xu Shangshu has never read anything. Books, and there are no followers at home, which is really strange. Could it be that you have found some masters in the workshop?"

Tao Jiusi frowned: "It's also possible, but in this way, finding someone who copied it is like finding a needle in a haystack."

Zhu Shunli also sighed and said: "Even if someone who copied it is found, there may not be evidence. Xu Shangshu's copy is probably destroyed."

Tao Jiusi groaned and remained silent, unwilling to let this matter fall into a dead end.

Hua Yuntai suddenly said: "Why don't we give him a try?"

Tao Jiusi heard the string song and understood the elegant meaning, and immediately understood what Hua Yuntai said, and said, "Grandpa Hua has a good idea! I can also imitate Duan Shuiming's handwriting. Let's secretly put it on Xu Yi's desk and see him What's the reaction? If he really did it, he will definitely show his feet."

Zhu Shunli also nodded, and praised by the way: "Eunuch Hua, I didn't expect you to be both civil and military. Not only are you highly skilled in martial arts, but you are also so strategic."

Hua Yuntai laughed twice, but didn't answer, only he knew that Wei Lingxue actually came up with this idea.

Tao Jiusi was anxious, and after deciding on this plan, he asked Hua Yuntai to steal Duan Shuiming's memorial out of the book overnight. He didn't sleep all night, and began to dip his brush in ink and copy it seriously.

Tao Jiusi's ability to imitate human fonts is due to Wei Rongyu's contribution in his previous life.

Wei Rongyu is the heart of his father, and Wei Wuyue has personally read over his homework since he was a child, not only that, he even went overboard and assigned a lot of homework for Wei Rongyu himself.

But Wei Wuyue doesn't know what it means to teach students in accordance with their aptitude, and what it means to be targeted, and often assigns some inexplicable and heavy tasks, which makes Wei Rongyu feel miserable and almost vomit blood.

Later, Tao Jiusi couldn't stand it anymore, so he picked out some dispensable content and helped Wei Ronghe complete it.

In order to prevent Wei Wuyue from seeing his flaws, he naturally devoted himself to learning imitation characters, and he insisted on imitating Wei Wuyue's handwriting to a seven or eight percent degree.

I didn't expect this skill to come in handy at this time.

Although time is tight and he didn't learn Duan Shuiming's characters very well, it is definitely enough to fool Xu Yi for a while, and he is likely to be flustered when the time comes, and he will have no time to distinguish.

Tao Jiusi looked at the results of his night, and handed them to Hua Yuntai with satisfaction.

Tao Jiusi yawned, washed up quickly, drank a cup of dark tea, and went to the Ministry of Officials with dark circles under his eyes.

Going out today is not earlier than usual, Master Tao entered the official department, many people have already arrived, but everyone is not working, just gather in small groups and whisper in one place.

When Du Qingyao saw Tao Jiusi, he approached Tao Jiusi in two steps.

"Master Du, what are you all talking about? You seem extremely excited?" Tao Jiusi asked in confusion.

Du Qingyao hooked his hands at him, beckoning Tao Jiusi to come over, and then whispered: "Do you still remember what I said yesterday that my aunt was messing around?"

Tao Jiusi nodded.

Du Qingyao: "It was reported this morning that Concubine Du Gui had had a miscarriage! This is something that the bureaucrats are discussing."

Tao Jiusi looked back in surprise, and said, "The real intention is Concubine Jing?"

Du Qingyao: "Of course, Concubine Du Gui insisted that the blood flow stopped after drinking a bowl of red bean water at Concubine Jing's place. The people sent by the imperial hospital also found safflower in the red bean water. The cook also recruited, saying that Concubine Jing instructed her to do it. The certified evidence is gathered, and Concubine Jing can't run away."

Tao Jiusi said: "Then how is Concubine Jing doing now?"

Du Qingyao: "Because she still has a dragon heir, she will be imprisoned in the clan mansion for the time being."

Tao Jiusi said: "Concubine Du Gui took action at this moment, I don't know if it's a coincidence or..."

Du Qingyao: "In any case, the third prince will soon be out of skills, which will be of great benefit to our investigation."

Before Tao Jiusi could speak, he caught a glimpse of Zhu Shunli, who was usually very calm, walking quickly to the gate of the Ministry of Officials.

Tao Jiusi and Du Qingyao went up to meet him: "Master Zhu, why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhu Shunli hurriedly said: "Yang Shangshu just informed me to investigate the case of the eldest prince on his behalf, and he was assigned to investigate the miscarriage of Concubine Du Gui."

Du Qingyao clapped his hands and said with a smile: "God help me, it seems that the eldest prince will be born in the clan's residence just around the corner."

Tao Jiusi also breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "There will probably be news from Xu Shangshu tonight, I hope our prediction is correct."

The three of them decided to meet at Nanny Gui's place in the evening, and then returned to their posts to concentrate on their official duties.

During this period, Yao Wangze and Xia Kaiyan came here separately to inquire about the eldest prince's recent situation, so Tao Jiusi simply asked them to go to the small courtyard together at night.He knew that these people were Wei Chengxue's best friends in his previous life, so he naturally trusted them without reservation.

Finally, when it was time to get off work, Tao Jiusi packed up his things and was about to leave the palace.He walked in a hurry, he was anxious like the wind, he didn't know, there was a person standing under the shadow of the palace wall, the person's eyes were resentful, his tone was sad, and he sighed with the spring breeze, and dissipated leisurely: "Is it possible that I can't compare to big brother?" ?”

Tao Jiusi didn't know about all this, so he rushed to Gui's house to meet everyone. Du Qingyao had already told Xia Kaiyan and Yao Wangze about the past two days. From outside. The eldest prince is so rough!"

Several people were lamenting the various experiences of the eldest son, Hua Yuntai somersaulted into Gui's house.

Unbelievably, Hua Yuntai carried a large living person on his back, and it was a well-dressed middle-aged woman.

The person behind Huayuntai fell down, took out some papers from Huai Li, handed them to Tao Jiusi, and said bitterly: "Sure enough, Xu Yi did it."

Tao Jiusi looked at these pieces of paper, half of which had disappeared, and the remaining half was the result of Tao Jiusi's hard copying last night. On the side was a row of black and yellow marks, which still exuded a faint smell of charcoal fire. rescued from the fire.

Xia Kaiyan pointed to the unconscious woman on the ground, and said, "Who is this person?"

Hua Yuntai spat, and said: "This old woman is Xu Yi's wife."

Everyone: "..."

Hua Yuntai: "This morning, according to what Mr. Tao said, I put these few pieces of paper on Xu Yi's desk, and then leaned over the beam to watch the changes. Who knew that at noon, this old woman actually entered the study, As soon as she saw the things on the desk, she immediately turned pale with fright, took it and ran away. Naturally, I followed secretly to see what was going on. The woman ran all the way into an inconspicuous side room, and carefully The door was closed and locked, so I could only go to the room to uncover the tiles and take a closer look. It was incredible to see that the room was full of scrolls, which were all famous calligraphy works of all dynasties. Although I hadn’t read any Books, but I have also been influenced by the former empress, and I have seen many real works by famous masters. At that time, I was still feeling that Xu Shangshu's calligrapher was really rich and could afford to collect so many treasures."

Du Qingyao digs his ears: "Elder-in-law, let's get to the point."

Hua Yuntai gave him a squinting look, and continued: "After this woman went in, she rummaged around, and I looked at the hanging paintings one by one, only to find Wang Xizhi's "Ping An Tie". The belongings of the Duan family were later sent to the palace as a dowry when the master got married, and now this writing should still be kept in the palace, how could it appear in Xu Yi's mansion?"

Xia Kaiyan heard the way, and said: "You mean, this Mrs. Xu Yi is actually a master of counterfeiting?"

Hua Yuntai nodded, and said again: "Lord Xia guessed exactly, I thought so too when I saw the "Ping An Tie", and then, the woman took out a stack of papers from a hidden compartment, and wrote a letter with Mr. Tao. Compare those one by one. I saw that she was sweating profusely, smiled relievedly, and finally her face was full of suspicion and fear. Fu took out a copper basin to light a fire, and threw all the papers into the fire in one go. In desperation I broke in, knocked the woman unconscious, extinguished the fire in the basin, and got these half-remaining things in Mr. Tao's hands."

Tao Jiusi lowered his head, looked at the stack of burnt papers again, and found that there were indeed many writings that were not his own, presumably written by Mrs. Xu Yi.

Du Qingyu said: "I have heard that Xu Shangshu's wife is a lady of every family. She came from a famous family. I didn't expect to be so good at it."

Xia Kaiyan speculated: "Probably this lady likes to imitate characters. Imitating Duan Shuiming's characters is of great importance. It should be that the writing is very similar. She is not willing to destroy the body and traces. I did not expect to leave evidence for us."

Tao Jiusi calmly said: "Our guess should be close to ten, and the most urgent thing is to let Mrs. Xu confess as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

Zhu Shunli nodded: "Eunuch Hua, I don't know if we can send this person to the Ministry of Punishment, I will go back for interrogation."

Hua Yuntai responded, carrying Mrs. Xu and Zhu Shunli one step ahead.

Tao Jiu thought for a moment, and then said: "Concubine Jing has an accident, Xu Yi must be with the third prince, will he know that there is a change in the family for a while, Kaiyan, go to his mansion and watch, if he appears, be sure to help the general." He held back in case he went home and destroyed the evidence."

Xia Kaiyan got the order and hurried out.

Tao Jiusi said: "Lord Yao, please go and invite the King of Jiarui County to enter the criminal department quickly, so as to deter the rest of the people who are co-trialing the case."

Yao Wangze agreed and rode to the county palace.

Du Qingyao looked at Tao Jiusi and said, "Brother Tao, what about the two of us?"

Tao Jiusi: "Brother Du, it's inconvenient to reveal your identity, so don't make Concubine Du Gui suspicious."

Du Qingyao nodded, then smiled sinisterly, and said, "Concubine Du Gui has had a miscarriage. As a nephew, I should go and have a look, and by the way... stir up the muddy water."

Tao Jiusi was noncommittal, and Du Qingyao went into the palace with his hands behind his back.

Everything is ready, everyone is in place, just waiting to tear off the big net covering Wei Chengxue and let him return to the vast ocean.
