A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 233 Public Yuzhai (Part [-])

Gu Zhan took a deep breath.

Although Qi Huan's words sounded a bit whimsical, he was still very patient and carefully analyzed with her bit by bit: "His handwriting is correct, and the seal comparison on his handwritten letter intercepted from Xiao Zuo is also accurate. It is exactly the same as his private seal. As for Dacheng's reply letter... His Majesty has the letters of credence that he occasionally exchanged with them when negotiating and discussing matters with the DPRK and China over the border issue, and the seal is also correct."

Qi Huan didn't speak, just lowered his head and found a small thing from his purse.

Then, he leaned to his lips and took two breaths.

She took Gu Zhan's hand and poked the small seal in Gu Zhan's palm.

After that, the seal presented on it, no matter in terms of shape or handwriting, Gu Zhan found at first glance that it was exactly the same as his private seal.

Gu Zhan couldn't help being surprised.

Qi Huan put a small half-carved seal in her palm.

Gu Zhan picked it up and looked at it carefully.

Although the seal has begun to take shape, it has been engraved and tried to cover it, but the chapter itself has not been carved, and it is still unclear what shape it is carved.

Qi Huan's craftsmanship is limited, and she thinks that the main thing she gives to Gu Zhan is to give her heart. As long as something can be used in the end and has a function, then Gu Zhan will not be picky about other details, so she chooses the jade material. After carving out the approximate size and shape, she carved the characters first, and after making sure that the part was not damaged and the things were available, she continued to ponder and polish the appearance slowly.

Gu Zhan held the semi-finished seal in his hand, and tried to engrave it on the palm of his hand, and his focus naturally went astray.

When he looked up at Qi Huan again, his eyes were full of light and shadow, and his expression was clearly surprised: "Is it for me?"

"The last time I saw your seal with you, the corners were all scratched." Qi Huan admitted openly.

But immediately afterwards, she turned to the topic again, and said seriously: "I used rubbings on your original chapter to restore the handwriting of your original chapter and engraved it as much as possible. This is the first time I have done this. The engraving of this seal should be no different from your original one. There are many skilled craftsmen with unique ingenuity in this world. If a person with both status and money is behind the scenes, he wants to find a master engraver to imitate a seal , it shouldn't be difficult, right?"

She said she was discussing it with Gu Zhan, but judging by her attitude and tone, she clearly had a conclusion in her heart.

Gu Zhan also immediately understood: "You doubt King Ning?"

"No." Qi Huan said, "I guess it's Ye Xunyi."

This is not speculation, but after hearing the rumors outside today, she thought about it for a long time, and carefully recalled the original plot of the book she had read before.

There is a plot in it, Yunheng wanted Boye Xunyi's favor, so he handed her a letter to express his heart, but in fact, he wanted to use this letter to expose the "private relationship" between the two , so as to force Ye Caizhi to submit and betroth Ye Xunyi to him.

As a result of this incident, the private letter was searched overnight by the prime minister's wife, Yan Shi, who opened it up for verification in person——

But it was discovered that Yun Heng wrote to another concubine of the Ye family.

Ye Xunyi argued that for the sake of the reputation of her sisters in the family, she did not want to spread the scandal of the concubine's private exchange with others, so she found out and withheld the letter privately, and wanted to calm things down, but in the end she was caught by the prime minister who "didn't know what to do" The wife found out, which hurt the reputation of the whole family and sisters.

At that time, things were very troublesome, Yun Heng didn't know that there was a problem with the letter, he just waited to come to Ye's house to make a rescue and acknowledge the matter, but when he came, it became a deadlock that could not be explained.

Later, after Ye Xunyi won the game, she mentioned in her monologue that in her previous life, in order to please Yun Heng, she spent many years copying each other's handwriting, and she regarded it as a little love between husband and wife, And because of her hobby, she helped Yun Heng resolve a serious crisis.

It was a few years after Yunheng ascended the throne of God. There was turmoil in the local area, and it was difficult for local officials to calm down the scene. There were also forces opposing him in the court to gather and exert pressure. The courtiers vomited blood in a scene of rage, and then he stopped showing up in the name of recuperating, but in fact he had secretly left Beijing to go to the riot site to put down the rebellion.

And during this period, relying on Ye Xunyi to review the memorials in his handwriting in the palace, cheating the world, dragging the courtiers with ulterior motives for him, and buying time for Yun Heng.

Later, Yun Heng came back with a complete victory, and took advantage of that imperial conquest to establish his prestige in the army and further stabilize the imperial power.

Qi Huan didn't pay much attention to this book at the time, and because she read too many Zhaidou novels, she didn't pay much attention to remembering the scene where the sisters in the family calculated each other. Looking back carefully today, I remembered that there was such a scene in this book. a bridge.

She originally felt that it was unreasonable for Yun Heng to collude with grown-ups, but after remembering that Ye Xunyi had mastered this skill——

It is even more certain that there is another mystery to the truth of this matter.

Facing Gu Zhan, she didn't have much worries, so she polished her words a little bit, and said to him frankly: "Don't you think it's strange between King Rui and Ye Xunyi? At first, King Rui just racked his brains to marry Ye Xunyi." She's just, even if she doesn't want to marry to King Rui, she is just a concubine in the prime minister's mansion, who gave her the courage and determination to make her dare to take risks again and again, and plot against King Rui repeatedly? His attitude has long surpassed dislike, but instead has a kind of bitter hatred, vicious hatred to the bone. I always feel that the relationship between them is also very wrong. It seems that King Rui is not targeting Ye Xunyi, on the contrary, it is Ye Xunyi who has been plotting against him again and again. If there is any reason, her hatred for King Rui has been protracted, and she has done too much secretly to bring down King Rui It shouldn’t be difficult to find some of King Rui’s usual manuscripts and spend two years honing them over and over again to learn his handwriting, right?”

Ye Xunyi's behavior towards Yun Heng was not only unreasonable, but also her attitude towards too many people around her who had a problem with her was unreasonable.

Proactively provoking, actively designing, and whoever has the slightest bit of trouble, will spare no effort to put the other party to death.

There are so many people in the Yan family who are in the officialdom, she provokes them one by one, even the members of the royal family...

In this era, people's reverence for imperial power is a deep-rooted instinct. After all, imperial power is a sharp weapon that can be used to control life and death. Who would dare to offend it easily?

but--

Ye Xunyi is not afraid? !

After a moment of silence, Gu Zhan took a deep breath meaningfully: "If you deduce it in the direction you want, then it is indeed... Rather than believing that King Rui and Dacheng colluded, it is better to suspect that the person who did it was the one who did it. Ye Xunyi."

Qi Huan hit the nail on the head and pointed out the most suspicious part: "It is said that King Rui was reported anonymously this time. Since those letters have been exchanged since more than a year ago, why did the black fire case just break out? The other party didn't bring up this matter, instead of waiting until the limelight of that matter passed, and then reported it? The assassination happened before January, and the more than one month in between seemed to be deliberately vacated by someone. Time, waiting to produce these incriminating evidence against King Rui. After all... this place is quite far from Dacheng."

If Ye Xunyi can imitate Yunheng's handwriting flawlessly, she can also find a skilled craftsman to make seals...

The most rare thing in this chain of evidence is Dacheng's reply to Yun Heng.

Even though Ye Xunyi and Yun Zheng have great abilities, it is impossible to perfectly reproduce the seal of Emperor Dacheng and the private seal of the border guard over there.

If there is no flaw in these seals——

The great possibility is that these seals are all real.

In the more than a month after the assassination, some people went back and forth between Dacheng and Dajin, and perfectly integrated these fake letters of so-called Yunheng collaborating with the enemy and treason.

At first glance, this is unbelievable.

But who made Ye Xunyi the heroine who opened the golden finger?In the original book, it was the male protagonist from Dacheng who finally relied on her to get to the pinnacle of her life.

Therefore, things that seem extremely difficult to others are all logical when it comes to her.

Gu Zhan's expression suddenly became serious: "If this is the case, then this matter is even more serious."

He fixedly looked at Qi Huan.

Qi Huan understood what he meant——

All of this is just their unilateral whimsical speculation, and they have no evidence to prove that Ye Xun intends to frame Yun Heng.

This is the disadvantage of being in the game. You know the truth of the matter, but you can't persuade others to believe what you believe.

While talking, Xing Luo and Yun Xi happened to leave and return.

The two brought a tray and brought some food over.

Xing Luo said: "There is nothing left in the big kitchen. These are brought from An Xuetang's small kitchen. It's the height of summer and the weather is very hot. There's nothing left, only these snacks."

Gu Zhan ran outside for a day and was so busy that he couldn't even drink his saliva, so he didn't pick it up.

The two maids put the cakes on the table, and he ate them with tea.

Seeing that his teacup had bottomed out, Qi Huan exchanged his own for him.

Gu Zhan swallowed two plates of snacks like a storm, and then slowed down.

Qi Huan raised his hand to remove some crumbs of pastry from his lips across the table, and suddenly felt distressed: "Did you often go hungry when you were marching and fighting?"

Gu Zhan stuffed another piece of pastry into his mouth, but smiled as usual: "Well, in the army, the war is naturally more bitter than in the peaceful world, but most of the time it is good."

Qi Huan didn't know, he was avoiding the important ones, and didn't want to tell himself too many details.

In any case, she was powerless to do anything about it, so she didn't say anything more wisely, and just watched him eat quietly.

Then, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the small seal he had placed by her hand, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she sat up straight suddenly: "I suddenly remembered a place."

Startled by her, Gu Zhan stopped chewing and looked up at her.

Qi Huan said: "There is an old jewelry shop on the same street as Dr. Hu's hospital, called Zhong Yuzhai. I once met Ye Xunyi there. It is said that she is a frequent customer of that shop. There is a master in that shop. , the craftsmanship is very good, if it is really the seal of King Rui that Ye Xunyi asked someone to imitate...would she be looking for that master?"

Since ancient times, talents at the top of each pyramid have been scarce.

Ye Xunyi wants to do such a big game, it should not be easy to network talents for a while, and the time is also tight——

That shop has been open for decades, and the shopkeepers are all knowledgeable and resident in the capital, so it is relatively safe to use his masters.

Can--

If Ye Xunyi really used the craftsmanship of Zhong Yuzhai's master, then she planned such a big event, in order to be safe, the first thing after using the other party...

Qi Huan was startled suddenly.

Gu Zhan has already stood up, with a piece of pastry in his mouth: "They are very likely to kill people to silence them, so I will rush over to have a look."

While speaking, he had already picked up the semi-finished seal on the table and put it in the middle of the belt.

The thing was not finished yet, Qi Huan didn't want to just give it to him.

But there were priorities, so she didn't dare to pester him, so she simply let him go, quickly pulled out the handkerchief from her sleeve pocket, poured the leftover cakes on the table, and then ran out the door after Gu Zhan .

Gu Zhanren was tall and long-legged, and he was walking extremely fast this time, so Qi Huan trotted all the way to the gate, and he was already on his horse.

Seeing her chasing after her, Gu Zhan frowned and took the reins back temporarily: "It's late at night, don't come out, go in quickly."

Qi Huan stepped forward and stuffed the bag of pastries into the bag on his horse's back: "You take the rest of the pastries with you. If you don't have time to eat, you can use them as cushions."

After a pause, she took another small step forward and said in a low voice: "We have no evidence for King Rui's case, so we will be beaten up and burned..."

Gu Zhan understood before she finished speaking.

He bent down and touched her head with his palm: "I understand, I'm just going to make sure first, and I won't show up rashly."

Qi Huan said again: "Then... after you confirm, ask someone to send me a message as soon as possible. I will sleep late tonight and wait for your reply."

Gu Zhan opened his mouth, originally wanting to persuade her to go to bed earlier, but when he got to the point of speaking, he knew that he had such a big matter in his heart, and she might not be able to sleep if he asked her to sleep, so he nodded directly: "Okay. You Leave someone to wait in the concierge, and I will reply to you as soon as possible."

Time is running out, after he finished speaking, he gave him a urging look.

Qi Huan knew that the street was chaotic at the moment, and he had to watch him go in to be at ease, so he turned around and hurried back to the door first.

After Gu Zhan waited for her to enter the door, he waved without distraction, and left with a group of people waiting in front of the Hou Mansion.

When Qi Huan returned to the room, Gu Zhanshun took away the half-engraved seal. She had nothing to do and couldn't sleep, so she just stared at the palace lantern on the table in a daze.

Xing Luo was left at the concierge waiting for news, and Yun Xi accompanied her.

Seeing that it would be midnight soon, the little girl was so sleepy that she lay down on the table and fell asleep.

Qi Huan was about to wake her up when there was a knock on the door.

She got up to open the door, and Xing Luo appeared in the courtyard with Jiang Xuan.

Xing Luo explained: "Gu Shizi brought you a message, but my servant was afraid that I might not be able to explain it clearly, so I had to bring Jiang Xuan here. Miss, you have something to say quickly, and this servant will wait outside the courtyard, and I will send him out later."

"Go." Qi Huan nodded, indicating that it's okay.

But at night, it was not convenient for her to let Jiang Xuan into the house. Fortunately, everyone else in the courtyard had already fallen asleep at this time, so she stood directly at the door and asked, "How is it? Have you been to Zhongyu Zhai?"

"People go to the empty house." Jiang Xuan was also succinct, first replied and then explained further: "When we rushed over, we hadn't seen anyone in that shop, the things inside, including some precious finished and semi-finished jewelry items They are still there. Although there were no signs of fighting in the room, some things on the table in the back room showed signs of being pushed down at will, which was very rough. We have been ransacked before. Later, we asked the neighbors around, and the neighbors said that they hadn’t seen the store open half a month ago, let alone anyone in his family, and they hadn’t heard of them talking about selling the store or going out far away. news like that."

"It seems that my guess is correct. Ye Xunyi did use the master from that family." Qi Huan's heart was still hanging in the air at this time, thinking deeply: "But they don't see each other. That's right... In this case, there are two possibilities. One is that the master realized that the situation was wrong after doing the work for her, and he was the first to detect the danger and escaped by himself. He intends to find someone to kidnap him silently and silence him in secret."

But half a month ago, the people were all gone, even if Gu Zhan led people to rush there immediately after the Dong Chuang incident happened yesterday, it would be too late!
　Zhong Yuzhai's thread has been buried for a long time, and interested babies can go to the public chapter to look through it, ouch~
