"Ledger, this ledger" Ren Jian's eyes straightened, no matter how unimaginable, a ledger could really speak, and he could say so many words.
Xia Xun was still talking, and said: "This handwriting is a little more restrained, although it is intentionally enlarged, imitating Xu Hu's rough font style, but the traces of the work are still very heavy Since Xu Hu himself also denies the existence of this account book, then the chief judge should let Xu Hu write a line of words, and find an expert to compare and identify Of course, some people may say that in case Xu Hu deliberately changes the pen style."
This is not difficult, the national prince remembers that when Xu Hu was first recruited, he came to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to report and sign the seal, and he left his handwriting here.
When he said that he didn't know what was going on today, he thought that whether he signed and received the seal in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, or when he wrote this Laoshzi account book on Shuangyu Island, he would not be a prophet, so change the style of the pen."
In fact, the font on the account book is completely based on Xu Hu's archive pen style in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, which is almost chaotic, and it is not as obvious as Xia Xun said, even if he knows that the things recorded on it are all false and forged, he can't distinguish the true from the fake.
But what does it matter, who will compare this truth with him Is it the second prince Zhu Gaoxu, the imperial envoy Chen Ying, or the chief judge Long Fei who has always been the furnishings When the situation is in the hands of the other party, the wronged person will not be able to turn the sky with evidence.
When it is in your own hands, even if it is true, you can say that it is fake.
The word soldier has two hands, the official word has two mouths, and the black and white are all spoken by people.
"And this paper" Xia Xun picked up the account book again and held it high in his hand: "We know that there are only a few places where we produce good paper."
And the paper used in this ledger is not good.
It is normal for the ledger to be not good on paper, because there is really no need to use any good paper for a ledger like this, but for ordinary paper, there is a regional surname.
Because most of the general paper comes from small local workshops, there is no need to buy it from other places.
Where there are many trees, more trees are used to make paper, where there are more bamboos, some places use mulberry, some places use hemp, and some places use straw, and the paper made is different.
Most of the ordinary paper used in various places along the eastern coast of Zhejiang is produced by the Li family in Ningbo, which is straw paper.
And this kind of paper is Qingtan rice paper, made of Qingsandalwood bark, and Qingsandalwood paper has never been sold in eastern Zhejiang."
Xia Xun held the account book, walked slowly around the public hall, and said slowly: "On the contrary, in my Jinling City, whether it is the official gentry, the master, or the school yamen, most of the paper used is this kind of paper."
Ren Jian seemed to have seen a ghost, his voice trembled, and he said: "This proves that Xu Hu has also been to Jinling, maybe maybe he bought a few knives of paper and brought it back to Shuangyu Island."
He really didn't know what this Fuguo Duke was doing, how could he even know how he could see so many things from an account book Ren Jian is just a small lieutenant, although he is a close confidant of Ji Wenhe, his knowledge is limited, he doesn't know all kinds of high-level battles, and he doesn't know who is planning these things and what they are planning, he is just ordered to testify, but he knows that this account book was indeed obtained after he arrived in the capital, and Fu Guogong's analysis is true.
Xia Xun said: "There is also this ink, the ink is ink, not pine smoke ink, as far as the country knows, because the ink writing ink is smooth and shiny, more beautiful, so the people in Beijing, most of them use ink."
There is only one place in the capital, because there are many things that need to be written, and the things that are written have no preservation value at all, and they will be useless later, so they must use cheaper pine smoke ink, that is, the newspaper copyists at all levels of the yamen who specialize in copying the newspapers of the imperial court."
Xia Xun's words immediately caused a stir in the court, Xia Xun's eyes swept slightly, looked at the faces of everyone with different expressions, and smiled indifferently: "Of course, according to what this Taicang Wei Junior Colonel said, I am afraid that Xu Hu bought it back by the way when he came to Beijing, so although it is suspicious, it still cannot be used as conclusive evidence."
However, " Xia Xun went to look through the account book again, and Ren Jian's heart was shocked: "He saw something again" In fact, of course Xia Xun doesn't understand these professional knowledge, but he is an expert in the analysis of the authenticity of the evidence, the angle and direction of screening, so as long as he points out the direction, someone will naturally check the specific information for him, and tell him the differences in various aspects of fonts, paper, ink, pen and inkstone.
And these are just to break the will of the other party.
Dismantling his will and disturbing his mind will only be presented with strong evidence that is truly sufficient to completely overturn the vital evidence of the ledger.
Xia Xun walked to the presiding judge's case, put the account book on the table, and said: "Lord Presiding Judge, please take a look at how long the contents of this account book have been recorded, when it was a gift to the national government, how long has it been in between, and then look at the paper and ink in the front and back, inside and outside of the account book, what has changed?"
Long Fei looked left and right according to his prompts, and couldn't help but look at Xia Xun as if asking for help.
Xia Xun said: "They fake, but they also know how to make this account book old and rotten."
It's a pity that there are some things they haven't noticed, and even if they do, they don't have the ability to change it, that is, the humidity of the air and the erosion of time, Shuangyu Island is an island hanging alone in the sea, and the air is humid, especially on land, which will have a great impact on paper and ink.
Look at the difference between the paper on the top and bottom of this account book and the paper sandwiched in the middle, the color of the edge of the same paper and the middle part, and the difference between the ink of the accounts of a few years ago and the accounts of today."
Long Fei's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "I found out, there is no difference" Xia Xun snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "Yes, the paper will change to different degrees due to the age and the infiltration of moisture, and the ink blots recorded in the accounts will gradually diffuse due to the different times of moisture immersion.
Xia Xun turned around slowly and said lightly: "Who will do this to frame the first-class duke and the court officials?"
Ren Jian was no longer able to argue, Xia Xun first attacked one by one from the origin of paper, the use of ink and the font, mobilized his emotions to the most tense and high-pitched stage, and then suddenly issued a fatal blow, the string in his brain was too tight and broken, and his consciousness was in a mess at this time, and he couldn't think of how to quibble at all.
The appointment's face was pale, his eyes were filled with despair, and there was only a roaring voice in his head: "It's over, it's over, it's over this time" Zhu Gaoxu's eyes were slightly cold, he gently lowered his eyelids, took a sip of the tea that had been cooled, and refused to raise his eyelids for a long time.
Long Fei was dumbfounded: "It turns out that the case can still be tried like this, and some dead things that don't say anything can really tell people so many secrets" It was the first time he had seen a case tried like this.
Today, although he is just a small supporting role that seems to be the protagonist, but what he witnessed with his own eyes has greatly touched the officials of this legal system, and many years later, he has become a famous public master in the Ming Dynasty and has solved many strange and important cases.
"Adjournment".
This case was tried for more than an hour, and it was basically Xia Xun's one-man show, but those seemingly leisurely princes and officials who didn't work hard to deal with this lawsuit are now a little tired.
In addition, lunch time is approaching, and everyone can't be hungry to try the case, so it is logical that Xu Hu's case will be retried in the afternoon.
As soon as he retreated, the eldest prince Zhu Gaochi immediately entered the palace in a hurry, and he was in a hurry to report the trial of the entire case to his father.
And Xia Xun due to his special status, although Long Juan had already declared him innocent on the spot in accordance with the law, he was still invited to the second hall by Zheng Ci and Xue Pin, where he drank tea and waited.
With such a high title, his arrest was made by the emperor himself, and now although he is not guilty, it must be made by the emperor himself.
As soon as Zhu Gaoxu left the court, he immediately rushed to the signing room of Qiu Fu, the official agent of Qi Guogong.
The emperor's special decree must protect Yang Xu's news, it is inappropriate to spread the news through a subordinate, Zhu Gaoxu has taken the opportunity to go to Qiu Fu and tell him about it.
Although Qiu Fu knew that Yang Xu would definitely not be able to be rectified this time, he still sent his ears and eyes to be present to listen, Zhu Gaoxu had not yet arrived, and he already knew what had happened.
In this way, when Zhu Gaoxu arrived, there was no need to bother talking, the two discussed it, and they were at a loss, and then they finally remembered that the benefits of reading people came, and if they wanted to talk about flowers and intestines, who could bypass them, Zhu Gaoxu immediately asked someone to find Chen Ying.

Chen Ying and Ji Gang were waiting outside, and the two did not participate in the move of "deducting the black cauldron", and it was not until the case that they knew that Zhu Gaoxu wanted to use this case to fight the faction of His Royal Highness and the wavering Yang Xu.
Because this kind of thing is really important, the less one person knows, the more safe, so if they have to do it, even if it is their own henchmen, they don't want more people to know, and there is really nothing to do at the moment, so they brought Chen Ying in, Ji Gang has not been summoned, and he has to wait outside.
Chen Ying entered the room, and Zhu Gaoxu explained the matter to him and asked for a solution.
Chen Ying heard that the Flying Dragon Secret Spy had not been disbanded and incorporated into the Jinyi Guard, but still existed with reading power, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and heard that it was actually the Second Highness and Qiu Fu who had taken the credit to find the dead ghost, so she couldn't help but pause and said bitterly: "Your Highness, Your Highness, you should discuss this matter with your ministers first, how did you get to such a situation?"
Zhu Gaoxu said: "What can I do if I tell you in advance?"
Chen Ying said: "If it is designed by the minister, not to say that there is no leakage, and it will not be so full of loopholes Luo Yun's battle report only needs to be changed to say that there are ears and eyes to detect the news in advance, then Xu Hu's entry into Guanhaiwei can be called a plan to lead him into the palace, and Ji Wenhe of Taicang Wei knows the news in advance, and the troops send to Shuangyu Island, so they are also flawless."
Zhu Gaoxu opened his mouth and stammered for a long time, and said with remorse: "Wow, just change this pen, there will be no flaws, Luo Yu, this husband has no scheming, he only knows how to use force, and he has ruined the king's big thing, what should I do now?"
Although Chen Ying is angry, but since he took refuge in Zhu Gaoxu, he has a bad stomach in order to help Zhu Gaochu recruit courtiers, and he has made a lot of bad moves for him.
Chen Ying is doing a whole person's errand, and he doesn't have to think about this kind of thing at all, he thinks for a while, and then said categorically: "Your Highness, this time is a huge flaw, if no one is staring at it, with Your Highness, if you want to cover it up, no one will dare to track it down."
However, now that the emperor and His Royal Highness are staring, even if Your Highness presses the formation, it will be impossible to prevaricate.
As long as someone investigates, this is a matter involving thousands of people, and it is impossible to cover it up. ” A ruthless look flashed over Zhu Gaoxu's face, and he said: "Since this is the case, Ji Wenhe can't stay, otherwise this king will definitely set himself on fire, get rid of him, and push everything down on him." ” Chen Ying smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, it is no longer a matter of Ji Wenhe, even if Ji Wenhe can transfer troops to capture Shuangyu without authorization, what about the matter of Guanhaiwei, it is arranged by Luo Yu." ” Zhu Gaoxu looked at Chen Ying in surprise and said: "You don't want this king to even kill Luo Yu, he is the commander of Zhejiang, a first-hand man, this" Qiu Fu looked at Chen Ying in surprise, and said in his heart: "Damn, even a provincial official killed him, I really dare to say that this scholar is more ruthless than me, who has led soldiers all his life."
Chen Ying said calmly: "If there is no matter of Ji Wenhe planting Yang Xu, then Ji Wenhe can be saved, now, the two of them must die, unless His Royal Highness is sure, they are willing to take all the responsibility, raid the family and exterminate the clan, and do not confess to the Duke of Qi." ” Zhu Gaoxu didn't think about it, and immediately shook his head, this case is too serious, if you just kill one of them, or it is possible to convince them that they will all die anyway, it is better to earn a share of the family belongings for their families, and the crime of raiding the family and exterminating the family, how can the two of them bear it.
Zhu Gaoxu is also the master who dares to act and kill quickly, so he nodded fiercely and said, "Okay, then kill both of them."
Qiu Fu said worriedly: "Luo Yu and Ji Wenhe, the generals of the first army, the official position is not low."
Especially at this juncture, they are already key figures, and if they suddenly die, wouldn't it be suspicious?"
Chen Ying said lightly: "Qi Guogong, it is doubtful that the imperial court has its own law, and the emperor can't punish without teaching without evidence, who can help me?"
"Besides" he turned to Zhu Gaoxu again and said: "Your Highness, after Xu Hu and the others are arrested, the thieves on Shuangyu Island will inevitably hate Luo Yu, Ji Wenhe and others, so as long as we use clever means, transfer Luo Yu to Shuangyu, have the right to inspect, and secretly make the henchmen kill the two of them at night, we can push this matter on the people of Shuangyu Island, saying that they are revenge and assassination at night, who can find out this matter without evidence."
Qiu Fu turned his worries into joy when he heard this, and said in a loud voice: "Make, make, if you do this, it will work."
The imperial envoy is really His Royal Highness's wise man, and Jia Xu, who is worse than the ghost warrior god, is not far behind, my henchman Xiao Meng is in eastern Zhejiang, and the old man will send someone to inform him and do his secret thing."
Zhu Gaoxu instructed uneasily: "It's too late to go on another trip this time, and we must send a credible person to rush to eastern Zhejiang." ” Qiu Fu said: "Your Highness, rest assured, the old minister can save it." ” "Slow" Chen Ying's eyes suddenly became overcast, like a vulture, he thought sideways for a moment, and said slowly: "Something is wrong, Yang Xu deliberately mentioned this matter in the court, is it to remind us, I'm afraid he is just to let us mess up and expose such secrets, whether it is a message or a document, once it falls into his hands" Zhu Gaoxu suddenly realized, and said in shock and anger: "What a Yang Xu, he laughed and scolded in the court, and he beat such an insidious idea."
Chen Ying said with a sneer: "It doesn't matter how good Yang Xu is, he has only spent a few years in the officialdom, hum, he has a good plan, I have a wall ladder, how can I fulfill his wishes."
