Zhu Ying confidently entrusted the heavy responsibility of dealing with Lu Wan to Zhang Shou, and simply focused her attention on the two brothers of the Lu family. Seeing that they were shocked after hearing Zhang Shou's words, and then stared at the piece of paper subtly, clearly not knowing what Zhang Shou was talking about, she couldn't help but feel moved and actually laughed.
"Everyone knows that you, Minister Lu, have always looked down on your youngest son. I didn't expect you to do the opposite this time. How rare!"
Without even looking at the two men on his left and right, Lu Wan said calmly, "Da Lang, Er Lang, go to San Lang and bring him and Zhu Er, the drunk and troublemaker, over here."
Whether their father deliberately didn't want them to hear the following conversation, or just told them to bring the fat pig and Zhu Er, the two most useful bargaining chips, Lu Dalang and Lu Erlang couldn't resist, let alone refuse. So, the two could only agree, and then left the house one after the other. Before leaving, the two did not forget to glance at Zhang Shou.
What kind of riddle is this!
After they all left, Lu Wan put away her slightly solemn expression and revealed a bit of relief: "How can Dr. Zhang be sure that the letter I showed my youngest son is the original? If it is really an important document, my Ministry of War has many talents to decipher it. If it is not important, I may just excerpt a few paragraphs to test my son."
"However, it is just as what Zhu Gongquan said. The servant next to Dr. Zhang is very powerful. He can even enter and exit my Shangshu Mansion as if no one is there."
Zhang Shou was not frustrated by Lu Wan's obviously playful expression, nor by his instant awareness of Ah Liu's manipulation. He just said in a declarative tone, "Maybe the letter that Minister Lu wrote to Lu Sanlang was not the original one, but I think the horizontal lines separating the words must have been copied by Minister Lu from the original letter to the original position."
After exposing this, seeing that Lu Wan's face really darkened, he smiled and said, "Of course, in order to make these horizontal lines and the number of Chinese characters fit together perfectly, the person who racked his brains to write another letter had a hard time."
Lu Wan was about to retort, but the next four words Zhang Shou said cut him off from speaking.
"Master Kong."
After saying these four words, Zhang Shou saw that Lu Wan was still as nonchalant as if she didn't care about what he said at all, so he remained calm.
"Although Lu Sanlang's mathematical talent is already top-notch, his horizons are not broad enough. After all, he was forced to read the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and some things constrained his thinking. If he studies for another two years, he will definitely be able to easily understand the mystery of this secret letter, but he can't do that now."
"So Dr. Zhang means that you can?"
"Maybe."
Zhang Shou sneered and said lightly, "The premise is that Minister Lu thinks that the four words I just said have something in common with the secret letter you want to decipher. Of course, if Minister Lu thinks that I have deciphered it wrong, then I will go back. But as long as all the horizontal lines on the fake letter you made are arranged in the original position, then I can also decipher something when I go back."
