Only then did the emperor speak curiously: "Wen Aiqing, how can you prove that the letter was not written by you? How can you prove that this letter was given to you by Mr. Lin?"
"Back to the emperor, when Master Lin gave me this letter, I was picking magnolia flowers outside the Hanlin Academy. My hands were stained with the juice of magnolia flowers, so this envelope also has the juice of magnolia flowers." Wen Hou Pointing to the stain on the envelope.
The emperor glanced at Eunuch Lin, who immediately went to take the envelope and presented it to the emperor.
The emperor took it and took a look. There was indeed some stain on the envelope.
He sniffed it again and handed it to the Minister of Dali Temple.
The Minister of Dali Temple took it and smelled it: "It does smell like the juice of the Magnolia flower."
Wenhou continued: "Because I was in office at the time and I had no time, I had to rush back to my hometown for dinner. I originally refused Mr. Lin and didn't want to help him deliver the letter. It was he who pulled me and said it was urgent and insisted that I help him. He was delivering the letter, and when I shook off his hand, the magnolia juice on my hand also stained his sleeve. The magnolia juice cannot be washed off if it stains his clothes. Mr. Lin is wearing an official robe. , each person only has three sets. Once we investigate this matter, we will know if the official is panicking? I beg the emperor to investigate clearly!"
Wenhou knew that the guy was not a good guy, so he asked him to deliver the letter for no reason, so he might be causing trouble! He just deliberately left the juice on his clothes and the envelope.
Leave yourself a backup plan!
The emperor glanced at Eunuch Lin: "Master Lin!"
"Cha!" Eunuch Lin quickly responded.
Nalan Jinnian put his hands on the table and looked at Wen Hou quietly.
My ears were listening to the movement on the roof, and I was worried that someone might accidentally fall off!
What does she want to do
What are you walking around for
Nuan Nuan jumped off the roof at this time. She caught up with Eunuch Lin and reminded him a few words.
The Minister of Punishment's heart sank: "Master Wen, you are a grown man, why do you pick flowers?"
Wenhou: "The eighth princess often comes to Weichen's mansion to play with my sister. She knows that there are two magnolias blooming very well outside the Hanlin Academy, so she asked Weichen to pick some and give them to her."
"Why did the Eighth Princess let you pick flowers?"
Wen Hou: "This official doesn't know, I didn't ask. I thought: It's just a little effort, so I agreed! If you want to know why the eighth princess wants to pick magnolia, you can ask the eighth princess!"
Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment: "......"
The Minister of Dali Temple almost laughed. He coughed and said, "Master Wen, how can you prove that this letter was not written by you?"
"Paper!" Wen Hou raised the letter in his hand and smiled confidently.
"What's wrong with the paper?" Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice asked without knowing why.
Wen Hou said casually: "Every level of official in the Hanlin Academy uses different paper. This paper is not something I can get at my level."
The Minister of Punishment snorted coldly: "This letter may not have been written by you in the Hanlin Academy, or by you in the mansion!"
Wen Hou shook his head: "It's even more impossible in the house! Sir, you don't know something. My family runs a paper-making workshop. The paper in the house is either inferior paper cut from the workshop, or it is the best quality paper. . But there is no such paper. Besides, this paper is special paper for the Hanlin Academy, stamped with the Hanlin Academy's steel seal. How strict the Hanlin Academy's paper is, Master Shangshu will know just by asking the Han Dynasty scholar! 7 "
Brother Seventeen had previously shown himself and his eldest brother the records of solving all the major and difficult cases in Nalan Kingdom fifty years ago.
Regarding solving crimes, he dare not say that he is an expert, but he has still accumulated a little experience!
The Minister of Dali Temple looked kind and kind, with light in his eyes, what a young man!
Cultivate it well, and over time, you will be able to stand on your own!
The Minister of Punishment shook his head: "This cannot prove that the letter was not written by you. The writing is your handwriting. You can also deliberately take the paper from your boss."
"Then it's okay if the subordinates can get the papers from their superiors. Sir, the Hanlin Academy is different from other departments. You can't move around. There are clear distinctions between levels! Everyone has an independent room to work in. Everyone leaves the room on weekdays. It’s the door that’s locked.”
The Minister of Punishment snorted coldly: "Even so, there is nothing you can do if you want to steal the paper!"
At this time, Academician Han said: "Master Shangshu doesn't know something. Since last year, everyone in the Hanlin Academy has private seals on their papers! People in the Hanlin Academy don't know about this yet."
When the emperor heard this, he remembered that this was indeed the case.
Soon Lin Jingxuan was brought up.
He bowed to the people in the hall and had already thought of a way to deal with it.
He had known this moment would come.
Eunuch Lin presented several sets of clothes in his hand to the emperor.
Wen Hou said at this time: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen remembers that I was holding Master Lin's right hand."
Eunuch Lin turned out one of his sleeves.
"Your Majesty, please take a look!"
The emperor lowered his head and glanced: There was indeed a little brown stain on the sapphire blue sleeves, as if it had been stained by the juice of some kind of plant and could not be cleaned off.
Eunuch Lin presented it to the Minister of Dali Temple and others.
The minister of Dali Temple slapped the door: "Bold Lin Xiuzhan, you dare to reveal the emperor's whereabouts, what crime should you be punished for?"
Lin Jingxuan knelt down: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen is wronged! Wei Chen has never done this!"
The Minister of Punishment threw the letter in front of Lin Jingxuan: "You still want to quibble? Did you give this envelope to Lord Wen to deliver to Lieutenant General Liangshan who was sent to the imperial guard camp? This letter contains the juice of magnolia flowers. You asked Lord Wenhou to When he was delivering the letter for you, he happened to be picking magnolia flowers. Your sleeves were stained with magnolia juice, and it was also on the envelope! How do you explain this? Why don't you just take it seriously? "
Lin Tingxuan picked up the envelope and took a look at it: "Xiaoguan did ask Mr. Wen to send a letter to me, but that letter was not written by me! Mr. Liang is Xiaguan's wife's cousin, and the letter was sent to Liang by my wife. The letter from your lord, she said, was a matchmaker's letter. I have not read the content of the letter. I just forwarded it to my wife! At that time, I had abdominal pain and was feeling impatient, so I asked Mr. Wen to deliver the letter for me."
Wen Hou didn't expect Lin Jingxuan to admit it so readily!
He glanced at Lin Jingxuan: "If you dare to do something and admit it, you are still a human being!"
Lin Jingxuan smiled: "A manly man, I have always dared to admit it! I did give you the letter, but I don't know the content of the letter! I don't know if you have changed it! Whose handwriting is it? That’s who wrote the letter! It can’t be wrong!”
No matter what, this matter will not fall on him!
The Minister of Dali Temple did not expect that another person would be involved, so he said: "Pass the Tan family!"
Soon Tan Shiwan was brought up.
At this time, Ning Huaiyu came in, holding a bunch of crumpled paper in his hand: "Your Majesty, this was found in the house of the second young lady of Changping Bo's house! Madam Changping's maid was burning these papers there. "
The emperor took it, took a look, and his pupils shrank!
