Chapter 309 Doubts

Qin Hanzhen didn't know what to say for a moment. As Zhao Shuo's biological father, the King of Liao wanted to frame his son. Forging letters was not enough. He also wanted to deceive and use his grandson to stamp the fake letters with a real seal.

Let the false letter become the true letter. It is so deliberate here, as if you are afraid that your son will not die quickly enough, and it is rare to be so cruel.

Also, wouldn't this be too much trouble?

Qin Hanzhen looked at the letter and was confused: "Although the King of Liao gave the letter to two girls and asked them to sneak into your father's place to steal the seal and seal it, it can greatly reduce the risk of being discovered after stealing the seal.

, but letting them steal is already a very dangerous thing in itself. Does he have to go to this point? Just relying on this letter is enough, right? If the King of Liao just wants your father to lose his holy favor,

, can’t succeed the royal family, just put a basin of specious sewage on his head, why do it need to be so cruel?"

There was no expression on Zhao Mo's face: "I don't know why he can be so cruel. After all, he no longer regards his father as his son." He paused before continuing,

"It is also possible that the prince just wanted to make this letter more credible, because my father usually communicates with people, and as long as it is a private message, he will always stamp it with a private seal. People who are familiar with him know this about him. If someone wants to fake it,

In his name, he used letters to order his subordinates to do something. Without a private seal, it was impossible to win the trust of those people. My mother once mentioned before she was alive that my father suffered a lot from the princess because of this kind of thing.

Just be extra careful.”

In this way, the concubine of the King of Liao once used fake letters to plot against Zhao Shuo, so Zhao Shuo developed the habit of stamping private seals in private letters. Now when the concubine of the King of Liao wants to repeat the same trick, it is because of the private seal.

The question is, isn’t it so easy to plot against him? Is this considered karma?

Qin Hanzhen clicked his tongue twice and asked Zhao Mo: "Is it difficult to forge your father's private seal? In fact, I think the King of Liao specially asked the girl to steal the private seal and put a seal on the fake letter, which is better than engraving one himself.

It would be more troublesome to seal it with a fake one. What if your father discovers the seal while stealing it? How do you explain this? Rather than taking such a big risk, it would be more convenient to make a fake seal."

Zhao Mo understands his grandfather's thoughts better about this: "My father's private seal is always used on his own private letters, but if it is written to the prince or someone in the palace, this seal will not be added. I

I think the prince probably just knows what the seal looks like. He wants to make one that is exactly the same, but he may not be able to get it right. If it doesn't look like it, and someone looks at it, wouldn't it be a waste of effort? Anyway, the real seal is not

It’s not like there’s no way to reach out in the capital, so the prince simply sends someone to steal the letter, right? After all, it’s difficult to get his father to write a letter as he wants, but stealing a seal and stamping it on the spot

A seal is a simple matter. As long as my hands and feet are sharper, my father will never find that the private seal has been tampered with."

Qin Hanzhen suddenly realized that this made sense. She looked down at the letter and sighed: "Now that you have taken out the fake letter and replaced it with one that looks more fake, what are you going to do next?

?Are you going to take those two girls to your father's place and let them steal the seal and put it on them, or are you going to let your father catch them and make a fool of themselves? If they can be caught, the King of Liao's conspiracy to frame his parents and children will be exposed, right?

?If he tries to do this again in the future, others won’t believe him."

Zhao Mo shook his head: "I haven't discussed it with my father yet, so I don't know what he thinks. Telling the truth and filing a complaint against the prince can certainly clear his name, but it is not the same if a father harms his son and a son accuses his father.

What a glorious thing. My father has always pretended to be a loving father and a filial son in front of outsiders, for fear that outsiders would say that the King of Liao and his son were at odds, and that he would be suspected of being unfilial. This time, he may not be able to make up his mind and put things into perspective.

The truth will be made public." He knew his father's personality, and even if he hadn't discussed it with Zhao Shuo, he could probably guess what the other party would think.

Qin Hanzhen only thinks that this idea is stupid. There is obviously evidence that the other party has done evil, but he still worries about this and that, helping the perpetrator to hide the truth. This is just an indulgence for the evildoer. The one who is condoned

Those who do evil may not necessarily change their ways, but they may become more emboldened and harm others again.

Qin Hanzhen said to Zhao Mo: "How can such a thing be hidden? You can only commit a thief for a thousand days, and there is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days. This time the King of Liao plotted against your father, and he was lucky enough to avoid it. Next time

What? If he still wants to climb up, he should remove all the hidden dangers as soon as possible. He doesn’t care about his own future and safety, and he shouldn’t implicate an innocent person like you!"

Zhao Mo smiled, and his smile was very warm: "Don't worry, cousin, I will find a way to persuade father not to be merciful." The smile on his face faded a little, "After all, this time, the prince and princess really want to

They want to put him to death. None of them thought about being soft-hearted, so why should father be soft-hearted?"

Qin Hanzhen sighed: "The thoughts of the King of Liao are also difficult to understand. The step-concubine is relatively easy to understand. She originally disliked your father and wanted to get rid of him so that she could fight for her son.

He has reached the position of heir apparent. But what does the King of Liao want? Whether your father can succeed to the royal family or not, there is no harm to him, right? Maybe there are benefits. No matter if he doesn't want to see your father in his heart, at most he just doesn't want to see you.

I hope your father will have a smooth life in the capital. All you need to do is tell the emperor that you don't want to adopt a son, and you don't ask your father to be crown prince, and that's it. He will need to get some fake letters and fake witnesses to frame your father.

? If you do this, even if your father is really harmed, as the leader of the Liaodong Army, he will still be charged with negligence and dereliction of duty, right? You also said that this kind of private sale of military supplies is very common in Liaodong.

, he is just pretending not to know. If the imperial court sends people to Liaodong for a thorough investigation because of that fake letter, can he still be able to clean himself? The risk is too great. What is he trying to do?!"

Zhao Mo also felt strange, what did the King of Liao want? The court had not noticed these secrets in the Liaodong Army, so what benefits could he gain by confessing on his own initiative? If he wanted his second son to replace the eldest son, not only

He is the crown prince and has the qualifications to succeed to the imperial family. It would be unwise to do so. Because if he makes an oversight and is found guilty of dereliction of duty, his son will definitely be implicated. At that time, there will be no talk of succeeding to the imperial family.

?I’m afraid I can’t even win the position of Crown Prince!

Zhao Mo said to Qin Hanzhen: "I always feel that there is someone else behind this. Otherwise, my father did not provoke the prince, and he and the prince and the princess had a tacit understanding, but the prince and the princess suddenly turned against each other. It is really thought-provoking.

I don’t understand.” He looked at the fake letter in Qin Hanzhen’s hand, “And this letter, I can’t believe it was the prince who came up with it. The prince has never liked scholars, and even the books and ink that scholars like are written in his heart.

Tired of it. When he was in Liaodong, whenever he saw me studying, he would scold me. There were almost no staff in the palace of the King of Liao. Those who served as staff were actually military attachés in the army. The palace was affiliated with the imperial court.

The prince who sent them there felt that they were the eyes and ears of the imperial court and did not want to get close to them at all. He could count the number of times he saw them every year on his ten fingers. With the prince's temperament, he could still find an expert to forge such a thing.

It’s really surprising to receive a letter that seems to be genuine.”

Qin Hanzhen lowered his head to look at the letter in his hand, and felt that it was not easy to make the letter so lifelike. Even Zhao Mo, his biological son, would not have been able to tell that the letter was fake. If Zhao Shuo had not repeatedly stated that he had not done it

For this kind of thing, he thought his father had really written the letter. No wonder Zhao Mo wanted to reveal the letter. The letter was really too convincing. Once it was presented to the emperor, Zhao Shuo would not be able to defend himself if he wanted to.

It's easy. If the King of Liao is really a rough guy who can't stand scholars, he would come up with such a method and produce such evidence, which is indeed a bit inconsistent. According to his style, he should directly and simply get the two

A witness, at most an account book, and that's it, right? Forging fake letters and so on that look so real, it feels more like a scholar's trick.

Qin Hanzhen shook his head and wanted to put the letter back into the envelope. Suddenly he felt something strange, so he twirled the letter paper in his hand a few times: "This letter... seems to be thicker than ordinary letter paper? Could it be?

Special paper?”

Zhao Mo was stunned. He took the letter and read it again. He also used his fingers to twist the paper: "Although it feels quite thick, I can't see anything special..."

Qin Hanzhen said with certainty: "My grandfather taught me how to recognize paper before. Among the piles of things he pulled out from the C-character library, there were a lot of papers, all kinds of them. Some of them were no longer usable.

, some can still be used. My grandfather taught me how to recognize it, telling me which kind of paper can be used for what, and which kind of paper can be stored longer. This paper... At first touch, it looks like ordinary paper.

, should be from Jingxian County, but it seems to be a little thicker than the ordinary Jingxian Shengxuan. In short, it is very distinctive. If based on this characteristic, I wonder if the origin of the paper can be found? Are you doubting it?

Is there anyone else who is causing trouble behind King Liao's back? Maybe we can find some clues from the paper of this letter?"

Zhao Mo touched the letter paper and shook his head silently: "Instead of spending time on the paper, I might as well try to find out who the prince has had contact with. This paper... was probably taken by the person who forged the letter.

That’s all, we may not be able to find any clues. It is also a birth certificate from Jingxian County... If it is Jiajiang bamboo paper, maybe we can also suspect the King of Shu. There are too many people using rice paper, what can we find?"

Qin Hanzhen said with a smile: "If it was really the King of Shu who did it, he wouldn't have used bamboo paper. Doesn't that obviously arouse suspicion? Unless your father is used to using bamboo paper."

Zhao Mo shook his head: "My father is more accustomed to using jade paper. It is also made of bamboo, but it is not produced in Sichuan, but from Fujian. He said that the jade paper is as white as jade, and the ink will last for a long time when writing on it.

It was the most comfortable for him to use, so he has loved using it since he was a child. I heard that my grandmother also liked to use jade paper when she was alive. I must have learned this from my grandmother, right? I remember my cousin mentioned that Tang

My uncle and grandpa also like to use jade paper."

Qin Hanzhen blinked and asked him blankly: "Since your father has loved using jade paper since he was a child, why did the King of Liao not use jade paper but Jingxian rice paper when he made fake letters? The handwriting is so imitative.

Like, even the seal must be authentic, but it is so negligent on the issue of paper, isn’t it too careless?”

Zhao Mo was also stunned for a moment, and the two of them lowered their heads in unison and focused their attention on the forged letter.

I have been struggling with the paper issue for a long time...
