"My lord!" A man in black came in hastily.

"Did you find out?" Yuan Chengshuang asked with gloomy eyes.

The man in black nodded, "Yes, the subordinates sent people to secretly question the merchants who went to donate food. They all got the news from Zhuji Silk and Satin Village, saying that as long as they donate food, they will get the emperor's favor." Award!"

"Zhu Ji Silk and Satin Village?"

"Yes, the shopkeeper's name is Zhu Changgui, and he can be counted as a rich man in our Yanxing City. It is said that he donated one hundred shi of grain and got the emperor's calligraphy." [

"Given by the father?" Yuan Chengshuang was taken aback, "Could it be that the woman got the father's approval to raise food?"

The man in black's eyes flickered, "It doesn't seem to be the case. The calligraphy was not given by the emperor, but obtained through Prince Qiong and Princess Qiong. Besides, if the emperor is asking for grain, why not just issue an imperial decree to let the merchants How about generosity? Why do you need to go through Princess Qiong?"

"That's not sure!" Yuan Chengshuang had a suspicious look on his face, "As the king of a country, how can he put down his face and ask for food from his own people? And the father has always doted on that woman, so it's hard to guarantee that she won't." Indulge her in smuggling military rations!"

"However, according to the information obtained by my subordinates, anyone who goes to donate food will have a secret conversation with Prince Qiong and Princess Qiong, as if they are doing some private transactions!"

Yuan Chengshuang's eyes lit up, "You mean, besides collecting food, that woman also took the opportunity to amass money and fill her own pocket?"

"It looks like this!"

Yuan Chengshuang pondered for a while, then sneered, "That woman loves money like her life, she will definitely do such a thing. Have you seen that plaque?"

"After hearing the news, my subordinate went to Zhuji silk and satin shop to visit, but I didn't see the plaque..."

"Didn't see it?" Yuan Chengshuang frowned, "Didn't you say it was hung in the silk shop?"

"According to the store clerk, Zhu Changgui cherished the plaque very much. He would hang it in the shop during the day and bring it back to the mansion at night. When his subordinates went down, it was already evening, and Zhu Changgui had already left with the plaque. did not see!"

Yuan Chengshuang's eyes flickered, "Go to the Zhu Mansion and bring that plaque to me!"

"My lord, do you suspect that the plaque is fake?"

"My father's handwriting is the most clear to me. I can tell if it's true or not. Also, let me find out, besides donating food, what kind of deal does that Zhu Changgui have with that woman?"

"Yes!" The man responded, and with a flick of his figure, he had already fled out the door.Within an hour, he folded it back again, "My lord, I got it!" He put the plaque on the table and lifted the black cloth covering it.

Yuan Cheng walked over briskly and looked carefully at the candlelight. At first glance, the handwriting on it did look like his emperor's father's, but when he looked carefully, the four characters were different in size and thickness.Looking closely at the seal on the back, he sneered sinisterly, "That woman, how dare she forge father's calligraphy!"

The man in black's eyes flashed, "Your lord, you mean that the emperor didn't mention this?"

"Although the handwriting is similar, it's a copy. Especially the seal at the back, the emperor's father would naturally use a private seal when mentioning the characters, why would he use a jade seal? This is clearly carved by that woman from the imperial decree!"

"So it's true that Princess Qiong forged the emperor's calligraphy, defrauded merchants of money and food, and filled her own pocket?"

Yuan Chengshuang laughed loudly, "There is a way to heaven, you don't go, and there is no way to hell, you break in. Hai Weilan, I will ruin your reputation!" [
