Chapter 244

After Xiao Zimu returned to the inn, he arranged Yin Guangbo to sign for the seeds outside.

He went back to his room, and then he opened the little paper that he had held in his hand for a long time, all covered with a little wet.

The note said that at midnight tonight, Lu Zhongfu arranged for the carriage left to Xiao Zimu to take him to a place. He had something important to tell his Highness the seventh.

Xiao Zimu immediately burned the note out of the door and pretended to take Yin Guangbo and them as if nothing had happened. He distributed it according to the number of tenants in the city and the total number of seeds, and asked the tenants to register one by one and sign their names to receive their share of seeds.

It was not until late at night and at the appointed time that even Xinya was driven by him that Xiao Zimu secretly touched the carriage outside the inn.

Anyway, there are hidden guards sent by the emperor. Don't worry about security.

The groom had already been waiting there. Seeing Xiao Zimu coming out from a distance, he opened the door and saluted him respectfully. Then he helped him into the carriage.

After he got on the bus, he didn't remember the way.

If you want to know, ask Yin Wei afterwards.

So he drove by the groom calmly.

After about half an hour, the carriage stopped.

The groom respectfully called out to him, "Your Highness, here you are."

Xiao Zimu opened the door. The groom helped him out of the car and led him to a courtyard in the suburbs.

After he entered the yard, only one room lit candles.

He was led into the light room. Lu Zhongfu fell to his knees with a "plop" and shouted to him, "Your Highness."

He glanced at Lu Zhongfu, found a chair and sat down. Then he ordered him, "if you have anything, get up and talk."

Lu Zhong Fu answered as like as two peas. He stood up and took out a handbook of official documents identical to the custom-made grain prices from his arms.

Seeing this, the groom grinded for him. Lu Zhongfu wrote a normal grain price document on it with a pen, and then signed his name in the lower right corner of the document and stamped his housekeeper seal.

After the pen and ink were dry, I took it to Xiao Zimu for a look.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Zimu glanced at him and looked at him suspiciously.

"Your Highness, can you see the grain price above?" Lu Zhongfu asked respectfully.

"Naturally, I can see clearly." Xiao Zimu is a little impatient.

"Your Highness, don't worry. Then you'll see." When Lu Zhongfu finished, he put the book on the table.

Dip a little water in the cup with your index finger and gently rub it over the signature in the lower right corner of the instrument.

After a while, a corner appeared in the place where he rubbed, and Lu Zhongfu tore away the raised corner with his index finger and thumb.

I saw the page with words on the document, which was prominently removed.

On the left page, the disciple left his signature and housekeeper's seal in the lower right corner, but it was blank.

When Xiao Zimu saw this, he suddenly knew that this was where the fishiness was.

No wonder Zheng Zhongguang, like a fool, firmly believes that his documents cannot be priced like that.

"Your Highness, this is what Mao Xianchun did from it." Lu Zhongfu picked up the document from the table again and respectfully presented it to Xiao Zimu.

Xiao Zimu took the paper and looked at each blank page behind it. It was really a little thicker than the ordinary paper.

But if you don't observe carefully, you won't find that this page actually has two layers.

The length of the upper layer of paper is just above the signature of the lower layer.

In other words, as long as the above layer of paper, write the grain price normally, deceive Zheng Zhongguang to look at it, sign it, and seal it with the official seal.

Out of the door, Mao Xianchun only needs to uncover the upper layer.

Then the blank space on the bottom page can be priced by him at will.

But the signature is still Zheng Zhongguang's.

The official seal is also Zheng Zhongguang's.

If something happens, the black pot is naturally Zheng Zhongguang's.

Xiao Zimu snorted coldly. These people really need everything in order to get money.

If Lu Zhongfu hadn't come to denounce, the document would be as irrefutable as a mountain of evidence, and Zheng Zhongguang couldn't deny it.

"How did you know?" Xiao Zimu raised his eyes to Lu Zhongfu.

Lu Zhongfu fell on his knees again with a "plop" without saying anything.

Xiao Zimu raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

"The slave is guilty. This book is made by villains." Lu Zhongfu kowtowed to Xiao Zimu and apologized.

"Since you did it, why did you tell me secretly?" Xiao Zimu doesn't understand now.

Seeing a mountain of hard evidence, the culprit has to take the initiative to plead guilty?

"The previous generation of the little family was originally a tenant. The little man's father accidentally steamed a layer of tissue paper when he was cooking.

At that time, my family could not buy rice paper, so my father used this paper to let me practice calligraphy.

After a long time, the villain learned how to steam the paper.

Later, the villain's son also began to learn calligraphy. In order to save paper, the villain attached this layer of face paper to rice paper.

Mao Xianchun happened to see him once. It wasn't long before he asked me to make an official document for him.

Where did the villain dare to do it, he refused at that time, and Mao Xianchun left angrily.

After a few days, the villain received a letter from Lord Xue.

The letter asked me to make a document for Mao Xianchun, but the villain refused.

However, I dare not refuse Lord Xue.

The villain originally came out of Xue's house and was arranged by Lord Xue around Zheng.

Villains cannot and dare not disobey Lord Xue's orders. " Lu Zhongfu then kowtowed to Xiao Zimu.

"Xue Xiuguo?" Xiao Zimu asked with a frown.

"Yes, it is Xue Xiuguo, governor of Wanzhou." Lu Zhongfu nodded back.

"Isn't he Zheng Zhongguang's father-in-law? Why should he collude with Mao Xianchun to pit his son-in-law?" Xiao Zimu was puzzled.

"The servant didn't know. When his highness destroyed the full moon banquet of Lord Zheng's son that day, the villain sent a letter to inform Lord Xue. Unexpectedly, the content of his reply to the villain was that he told the villain not to expose the document until he arrived in ancient Anhui." Lu Zhongfu said truthfully to Xiao Zimu.

"In that case, why don't you wait until he arrives?" Xiao Zimu raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

"This is not today. I can't bear to see your highness put Lord Zheng into prison. I'm afraid he won't get Lord Xue if your highness punishes him." Lu Zhongfu said that there was a layer of fog in his eyes.

Xiao Zimu looked complex and meaningful. He glanced at Lu Zhongfu and said.

"You love him."
