Chapter 203 Handwriting
Li Wang nodded at Yue Song and said, "Give it to him!"
The Yue brothers have been with him for many years, much longer than Qian Yuan. The Yue brothers are the people he trusts the most, otherwise he would not let both of them be in important positions at the same time.
Prince Li believed in the two men and would not lie to him.
Qian Yuan knelt and slid forward, "Excuse me, General Manager Yue Song, please give me the letter. I want to prove my innocence."
After receiving it, Qian Yuan scanned it at a glance and relaxed his mind, "Your Majesty, this is not my handwriting."
“Why do you think so?” After Prince Li regained his composure, the murderous aura in his heart gradually disappeared.
"Your Highness, I am actually left-handed." Qian Yuan knelt and slid to the front of the table of the Prince of Li, "Your Highness, please take a look."
Qian Yuan copied a dozen words from the letter and handed it to Prince Li.
Prince Li held the two pieces of paper in his hands and compared them. "Mr. Qian, please get up. Yue Wen, you should get up too."
"Your Majesty, what exactly is going on? If it wasn't written by Mr. Qian, who sent this letter for help to my subordinates?"
Yue Wen was a rough but meticulous man. He also noticed his brother's look and quickly thought of a countermeasure.
"Could it be that there is an insider in Liu County who deliberately imitated Mr. Qian's handwriting?"
When the rumor that Yue Wen was an accomplice came out, everyone felt threatened.
It is well known that Qianyuan is left-handed. No one would notice the flaw in this letter without comparing it with the original.
The handwriting on this fake letter is both similar in form and spirit.
If Qian Yuan hadn't always had his own little habits, it wouldn't have been so easy for him to prove his innocence.
When he writes, he unconsciously emphasizes one stroke.
If you don't look carefully, you won't notice it.
The very strokes of the letter betrayed this.
Qianyuan often gave advice to Prince Li, and Prince Li was indeed familiar with his handwriting.
After seeing the original, Prince Li knew that the letter was fake.
"There's the official seal of the Liu County Magistrate on it. Could it be that Wang Songtao's people wrote it in your name?"
Prince Li was also a little confused.
"No, these people have never seen my handwriting. We have been in the county government office for the past few days, and the official seal has not been lost."
Qian Yuan thought about it and had a guess in his mind, so he pretended to be panicked.
Prince Li noticed that something was wrong with his expression, "Mr. Qian, is there anyone who suspects you?"
"Your Majesty, I suspect it's the Wei family."
Qian Yuan glanced at Yue Wen from the corner of his eye, "Commander Yue Wen rushed here from Jucheng, I'm afraid he fell into a trap. Maybe the Wei family has been keeping an eye on us for a long time, and they did this to ensure their safety."
"Besides, there has been another earthquake in Liu County, which gave them an opportunity to take advantage of it."
"The Wei family has a thorough understanding of the situation on both sides. We are defenseless. It is understandable that Commander Yue Wen wanted to save us."
Qian Yuan excused Yue Wen, and the Yue brothers visibly relaxed a little.
Prince Li slammed the table and said, "All the elite soldiers of the Wei family are dead, and these old and weak ones are still making trouble for us. Next time we meet them, we must catch them and throw them into the dungeon to vent our anger."
"Yes!" Yue Wen knew that he had passed this hurdle. After bowing and saluting, he slowly retreated.
"Commander Yue Wen, wait a minute." Qian Yuan stopped him. "The county magistrate of Liu County should have another secret room. Commander, you are very capable. Why don't you go there and maybe you can find some clues about the Wei family."
Prince Li stopped the man and asked, "What is the basis for this?"
"Before the Earth Bull turned over, Wang Songtao had already spoken."
Qian Yuan was calm and composed just now, and he naturally had a trump card in his hand.
The previous scholar had already left and had no idea that Qian Yuan had already obtained such important information.
If I had known that he had a trick up his sleeve, I probably wouldn't have argued with him just now.
"Wang Songtao is the Ming King's man."
When Prince Li heard this, his face flushed. "How dare this traitor to his own country secretly collude with Prince Ming? Go on, if you have anything else to say."
“Two days before I arrested Wang Songtao, thieves broke into his house at night and stole some food.
Wang Songtao was afraid that those people would make a comeback, so he sent people to transport the looted food to Mingzhou City the next day.
By the way, the food is stored in a special secret room."
Qian Yuan didn't know what to say. Wang Songtao was so bold that he openly sided with Ming Wang.
"Unfortunately, he only revealed these. When I wanted to interrogate him again, the sky collapsed and the earth broke apart. Wang Songtao and his family were buried underground."
Qian Yuan was telling the truth, his expression was normal, without revealing a single flaw.
"When I was talking to Wang Songtao that day, I felt something was wrong. After the fake letter incident, his official seal should be in his private residence."
Qian Yuan speculated, "The Wei family might be the ones who stole the grain. That night, Wang Songtao might not have lost just the grain."
As soon as he finished speaking, Prince Li gave the order, "Yue Wen, take people to search."
Prince Li became anxious when he thought that what he had lost might not be just food.
"Okay, King Ming, you dare to poach me? You just wait for me!"
Qian Yuan was delighted but did not show it on his face. He began to tell him everything about Wang Songtao.
"Wang Songtao keeps hundreds of desperate criminals just to plunder and amass wealth. The people of Liu County are complaining, but unfortunately they dare not confront him head-on, so the news has not spread beyond Liu County..."
As expected, the more Prince Li listened, the angrier he became. "Damn Prince Ming, he just uses these little tricks, just like his mother, not worthy of being on the stage."
Qian Yuan had not expected that alienating the two princes could be accomplished so easily.
"My Lord, why did you come here in person when you are in such a dangerous situation?"
Prince Li then remembered the original purpose of coming here. "Liu County has turned the tables this time, and the capital has been the hardest hit. According to the news sent back by the spies, several princes have been buried underground, and only the eighth prince survived. He will not have any more offspring, and he must issue an edict of guilt!"
Qian Yuan was startled, then delighted, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, your chance has come! You will reach the top in no time."
Prince Li suppressed his joy and asked, "Mr. Qian, why do you think so?"
"That person will not have any more offspring. If anything happens to the Eighth Prince, the royal family will not sit idly by."
Qian Yuan had a smile on his face, "My Lord, after all the twists and turns, what is yours will not run away."
Prince Li understood what he meant and smiled, "Indeed, it will return to me in the end."
"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. If something happens to the Eighth Prince, he will adopt a prince's son."
When Prince Li heard this, he stopped smiling and said, "Adoption? It is indeed possible."
After a long time, Qian Yuan spoke up, "Prince Yan and Prince Xian are not to be feared, as their offspring are not liked by that person. On the other hand, Prince Ming is good at trying to please others, so he is the real enemy."
Qianyuan blatantly set a trap, waiting for Prince Li.
"It seems that King Ming is going to make some moves. We can't let him take advantage of the situation."
Prince Li's face darkened. He did not have a good relationship with the capital, and Prince Ming's offspring would most likely be adopted there.
"My Lord, it's time to put those people to use!"
