Chapter 159: I am in the light, the enemy is in the dark
But when Shangguan Qian saw the content inside, the curve that had just raised just now fell down little by little, and became gloomy.&1t;/p>
This letter was not written by the special envoy he sent, but by Du Hua, the prefect of Qingcheng. Every word written in the letter made him frightened, and his hands couldn't help but start to tremble slightly.&1t;/p>
In the letter, Du Hua wrote that he had been trapped two days ago, and a villain was involved in the mansion. He joined forces with his eldest wife to steal the letters he had with Shangguan Qian, the officials under Qingcheng who had been in contact with him on weekdays, and the account books for the past years.&1t;/p>
Although he ordered a reward of several people in Qingcheng and nearby prefectures, he had gained nothing for several days and had no evidence at all.&1t;/p>
So he was worried that this group of thieves had premeditated and might be unfavorable to Shangguan Qian, so he quickly reported the matter.&1t;/p>
Shangguan Qian felt a little depressed when he saw this, and he almost vomited blood. He stopped looking down and smashed his hand fiercely on the table. The tea on the table was shocked.&1t;/p>
"What's this? How could Du Hua be so brainless? He can't even manage the affairs of his own mansion. He can even get these things for a woman. He is such a big waste!"&1t;/p>
"And this person has lost something and has not told me in time. Do you think he has great ability and must wait until now to write a letter!"&1t;/p>
Huan Lang beside him saw that he was so angry, and could not guess what was the reason that Shangguan Qian was so angry, so he took the letter from him and looked through it twice.&1t;/p>
After he finished watching it, his face became extremely bad.&1t;/p>
"I remember Du Hua is very sensible in doing things. Why did he still get into such a trick? If those things fall into the hands of those who are interested, you will be too dangerous!"&1t;/p>
Shangguan Qian didn't understand these principles, but at this moment he could only try to think in his mind. What should he do if things really hit the worst.&1t;/p>
"Wait, eldest prince, Du Hua said that the envoy we sent this year still carried the gold medal certificate you gave me, and was still very young. Why do I think this description doesn't sound like ours?"&1t;/p>
Huan Lang read the second half of the letter that Shangguan Qian had not finished reading repeatedly. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked.&1t;/p>
"Yes, there are no gold medals. They should be carrying my oral words. Where can I get any gold medals? And those people are middle-aged and there are no young people."&1t;/p>
Shangguan Qian heard him ask, and hurriedly suppressed the anger in his heart, took the letter, and honestly finished the second half, and then explained in disbelief.&1t;/p>
"Is it possible that Du Hua was confused about the past two days and remembered it wrong?"&1t;/p>
Huan Lang shook his head, feeling that the possibility is not too great.&1t;/p>
"It should be impossible to make a mistake. If I remember correctly, there are only two people who have given gold medals by the emperor. How could Du Hua admit his mistake with such an iconic thing? It must be because the other party gave him too much surprise."&1t;/p>
As he spoke, an answer in his mind was getting more and more out of the water, but he felt a little panicked when he called him.&1t;/p>
"Big Prince, do you think the envoy Du Hua saw was fake and was dressed up by someone else?"&1t;/p>
"Fake? Impossible, Impossible, Impossible..."&1t;/p>
After hearing his words, Shangguan Qian had been denying it, but he had gradually begun to believe this answer in his heart.&1t;/p>
I became more and more panicked. If Du Hua even saw the special envoys, then this conspiracy would definitely be targeted only by himself from beginning to end.&1t;/p>
The other party knew that he had the small moves in Qingcheng, and deliberately hit him seven inches, trying to pull himself off.&1t;/p>
Who is it?&1t;/p>
Set up this dense big net and don’t let yourself go.&1t;/p>
It would be fine if the money was lost, but sooner or later I would find a way to make it. However, if the evidence falls into the hands of the father, I will probably lose the qualification to run for the throne this time.&1t;/p>
"The eldest prince, I remember that besides you, there is another person in this capital with gold medals. But I forgot it for a while, have you remembered it?"&1t;/p>
Huan Lang wanted to start with the gold medal. After all, he had seen the gold medal in Shangguan Qian. He knew that this thing was made of secret gold because of its special workmanship and could not be easily imitated.&1t;/p>
Even if you can call Du Hua, it is real, maybe it is real.&1t;/p>
Then another person with a gold medal may be the biggest culprit in conspiracy. After finding him, you can only make the next decision.&1t;/p>
Shangguan Qian thought about it and spoke without thinking.&1t;/p>
"It's Shangguan Chen! Yes, it's my good thirteenth brother Shangguan Chen. I remember that because of the birthday of that year, only the gifts he gave me and the ones he gave were most in line with the hearts of the father, so they each praised us a gold medal. Others, even Shangguan Yu and Shangguan Ling, did not have them."&1t;/p>
"Do you suspect that it was the Thirteenth Brother who did it? But these days he has been with his father every day, and he has not been rewarded for the mansion and has been living in the palace. I think it is unlikely that it is him."&1t;/p>
Because Dazhou had a custom, the princes would only reward their residences after they were sixteen years old, and they would have to live in the palace all the time.&1t;/p>
Shangguan Chen had just celebrated his fourteenth birthday two or three months ago, so he naturally had to stay in the palace for two more years.&1t;/p>
In the palace, Shangguan Qian was not stupid enough to do anything, thinking that Shangguan Chen had the ability to plot against these things.&1t;/p>
Huan Lang shook his head and said.&1t;/p>
"If the gold medal was owned by the Thirteenth Prince, Bei Zhi would not doubt him, but he would doubt the people around him."&1t;/p>
"The eldest prince might as well go to the Thirteenth Prince to ask if he has lent the gold medal to someone these days. If he doesn't have it or is hesitant, this matter may be a little tricky."&1t;/p>
Shangguan Qian nodded. He felt that it would be impossible to ask a little kid Shangguan Chen, which was a little kid.&1t;/p>
After all, his thirteenth prince has a very straightforward personality and has always been talking about it. With such a personality, he will definitely not tell any lies.&1t;/p>
"I will naturally ask, but we must now prepare for the worst. If these things are really stuck to the father, how can I distinguish myself from the crime."&1t;/p>
Shangguan Qian didn't dare to have any luck thinking now. This series of things could not be accidental, it was clearly planned by others.&1t;/p>
Now I am in the open and the group of people are in the dark, and I even know nothing about their origin.&1t;/p>
This is already very dangerous.&1t;/p>
"Don't worry, the eldest prince, I remember that you didn't have many letters to communicate with Du Hua, and there were only one or two letters this year, right?"&1t;/p>
Shangguan Qian saw Huan Lang asking a question, and nodded quickly.&1t;/p>
"It's really not much, because at the end of last year, he quietly came to Beijing. We met and said everything we should say, so there are not many letters this year."&1t;/p>
"I remember clearly that there are only two letters. One is to ask the people below to wink, don't offend people who should not offend, and the other is to tell him that he will send people to Qingcheng to collect money in person within the day."&1t;/p>
Seeing him say this, Huan Lang breathed a sigh of relief, and he no longer felt so panicked. He spoke out the plan he had just conceived.&1t;/p>
"That's good. The eldest prince's handwriting is not easily displayed to others this year, and it has not been revealed in front of the emperor. A person's handwriting will not be fixed all the time, so the eldest prince can deny everything at that time."&1t;/p>
"If someone catches the evidence and refuses to let go, the eldest prince will say that Du Hua deliberately frames you, imitating the letters made in your handwriting in the past."&1t;/p>
"So the eldest prince should change his handwriting a little before the matter broke, and then write more things. This can be used as evidence to refute it."&1t;/p>
Yes, if letters are used as evidence, only the handwriting can be believed. If they are the same, they can prove that they are true. If they are different, they will naturally be forged.&1t;/p>
If people believe that their handwriting is very different from last year, the so-called evidence will no longer be so convincing.&1t;/p>
When Shangguan Qian thought of this, he also felt that a path of intestine suddenly appeared on the road that seemed to be a desperate situation. This time he was indeed another village with dark flowers and flowers, and there was still a way out to go.&1t;/p>
Seeing that the worry on his face disappeared, Huan Lang quickly reminded him.&1t;/p>
"The eldest prince should not let go. This is just a solution. We should not use it easily unless we have to. After all, there will definitely be many people who do not believe it at that time, and even the emperor will be very suspicious of you."&1t;/p>
"Before this, we must make complete preparations. We must first investigate who these things are in the hands of now. Secondly, we must notify the precious concubine in the palace and ask her to act according to the opportunity. We will make more noises for the emperor these days."&1t;/p>
"The most important thing is that the eldest prince should contact the ministers we have made friends with in the past two days and ask them to be careful. If this matter is opened in the court, they must say more good things for you. And Du Hua must keep his mouth shut tightly."&1t;/p>
Huan Lang explained his plan step by step in an orderly manner, taking into account all aspects, which can be said to be a perfect remedial plan.&1t;/p>
But in this matter, they were indeed in the open and could not see how Su Muwan and others controlled the dark, so they naturally missed the opportunity.&1t;/p>
