I fought back after reselling my engagement

Zhen Su was shocked when he saw this. "The calligraphy works handed over to my grandfather and uncle were not the calligraphy works with inscriptions and seals, but the manuscripts of daily practice..."

"That's why this seems strange. Why did the Mao family collect so many calligraphy works of the old master and the third master?"

"Imitation? Doing evil?" Zhen Su had various guesses.

As Chunfeng raised his hand and gave a look, Chunjiang and Chunyue tactfully retreated. Ever since Chunfeng and Chunyu came, the princess trusted these two more. Although they were also maids, they lacked something compared to them.

Chun Feng said: "Master, I have asked people to keep a close eye on the Mao family and investigate the purpose of their collection of the calligraphy of the old man and his son. If it violates the law, General Lu's plan to eliminate the banditry in Hunan Province can be advanced."

No matter how much the Mao family whitewashes themselves, they cannot hide the fact that they were born bandits.

The most prominent family in Yueyang Prefecture is actually a family of bandits.

Zhen Su said, "My grandfather already knows about this confession?"

"The housekeeper and Chunyu jointly participated in the interrogation of Xiaolan and Xiaohong. The confessions were made in duplicate, and the housekeeper has another copy."

The loyal butler Su Jingzhai must have submitted another copy.

When Zhen Su read the confession, Su Jingzhai was so angry that his face turned pale. "Good! Very good! I really underestimated the Mao family. This has dug a big hole for my Su family from the beginning."

The butler asked, "What are you going to do, sir?"

"Everything is fine in the mansion. The seventh girl didn't go to Mingzhu Pavilion today. How do you tell them?"

The housekeeper replied, "He said he caught a cold last night and is unable to leave for the time being."

Su Jingzhai was very satisfied.

Don’t move for now. If he wants to make a fuss, he will make it bigger.

Su Qinniang was a simpleton. She let the maids deceive her family about such a big thing. What on earth did the Mao family want to do by collecting the manuscripts of the father and son? Usually, when collecting calligraphy and painting, people collect those with seals and inscriptions, so that they have collection value. If they only collected the manuscripts, anyone would think that the other party had bad intentions.

into the night.

A maid entered the female guest house and reported respectfully, "Princess Changle, the governor asked you to move to the front yard to discuss important matters."

Changle was just finishing his dinner with Zhou Yiqing and Shouning.

Shouning didn't want to move anymore. He was too tired recently. He was also drafted by Changle to be a noble lady of Mingzhu Society.

Princess Changle asked, "You only invited me?"

"This is a government matter."

It was a public matter, and they asked her to come forward, presumably to discuss it with her, or to ask her to make a decision, but what was this public matter? Could it be related to the assessment of the Pearl Society?

In the entire Mao family, up to now, only Mao Liuniang has passed the assessment. Although there are many girls in the Mao family, there is no second one.

Shi Jian held the cloak, Princess Changle put on the cloak, and the maid held up a lantern. The light and shadows moved to the meeting room in the front yard.

Su Jingzhai, along with Su Shao and Su Wulang, paid their respects.

Su Jingzhai handed over the confessions of Xiaolan and Xiaohong.

"The princess is not an outsider to our Su family. It is said that family disgrace should not be made public. Three years ago, my granddaughter was only nine years old, but the Mao family plotted against her. They took advantage of their young age to find out about the Governor's Mansion from their granddaughter and maid."

Princess Changle read the confessions one by one, and became more and more frightened. The calligraphy works of Su Jingzhai and his son were not just a few pieces, but as many as five or six hundred in three years. If Zhen Su had not discovered the clues and reported it to Su Jingzhai, such a big incident would not have been involved.

Princess Changle sat down and continued to read the confession.

The Mao family really has evil intentions. They are trying to find out the government's information and collect the handwriting of the first-rank officials. This is not just a simple collection of calligraphy. There must be a conspiracy.

"What does Governor Su want to do?"

"I have ordered my daughter-in-law to sort out the jewelry given by the Mao family girls. Since they acted secretly, I will openly use the Mao family jewelry to retrieve the manuscript. As for the red jade hairpin given by Mao Yuanniang yesterday, I will also return it."

The guards left behind by Princess Changle in the mansion have already reported what happened in the Su family today.

Su Qinniang was locked up in a small Buddhist temple to reflect on her mistakes. It was said that she would only be given two meals a day, morning and evening, and even lunch would be skipped. Cui and Su Wulang severely punished Su Qinniang today.

Princess Changle asked, "What's the point of the Mao family collecting Governor Su's manuscripts?"

Su Shao and his son also felt puzzled earlier, but today, Su Wulang thought of something, "More than a year ago, a document from the Ministry of Personnel came to my grandfather. It was from the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel who asked about the vacant position of the governor of Ezhou and asked what my grandfather knew about the recommended Mao Defu. At that time, my grandfather felt strange and wrote back that he not only did not believe this person, but also had never met him."

Princess Changle was surprised and asked, "What the governor meant was that someone was impersonating your handwriting to recommend officials for official positions?"

Impersonating a high-ranking official of the imperial court to recruit people into the government is a capital crime. If it was really done by a member of the Mao family, the entire clan could be executed.

In the meeting hall in the front yard, Princess Changle was discussing with Su Jingzhai and his son.

Su Jingzhai had no legal advisor, so Su Shao was his legal advisor. Although Su Shao was unwilling to become an official, it did not prevent him from being his father's wise counselor and advisor. When Su Wulang grew up, he would often participate in discussions with his father and grandfather, as this was to train him.

At this moment in Tingyu Pavilion, Zhen Su had written a letter. The official letters from the Supervisory Office had a special format, which was concise and clear, stuck to the facts, and also used some clichés and technical terms.

"Chunfeng, once this post is written and stamped with the official seal of the Phoenix Envoy, can it really make the Tongzhengsi of Hunan and Hubei provinces thoroughly investigate the Mao family?"

It was not that she questioned it, but according to what Chunfeng and Chunyu said, the status of the Phoenix Envoy Token was extremely high, below the emperor and above all officials. It was completely a prime minister hiding in the dark, the imperial sword, the imperial envoy...

She also questioned why the Phoenix Envoy Token was awarded to her.

She was a weak woman with no martial arts skills. Could it be that someone knew that she had more than a thousand years of cultural memory, or that someone knew that she was a capable person?

"Master, you have to trust me. As long as you stamp the Phoenix Envoy's seal, the two provincial Tongzhengsi will have to cooperate. There will be a response in three days at the fastest and half a month at the slowest."

Her worry was in vain.

She made two copies and stamped both posts with the official seal.

The spring breeze and spring rain look excited.

The master had indeed mastered the use of the Phoenix Card, and the Phoenix Card had become the official seal of the Phoenix Envoy. It seemed that the rumors were true and the master was the owner of the Phoenix Card, the same Phoenix Lord that Princess Changle and the Ninth Princess were currently competing to gain merit for.

Zhen Su stamped the official seal, Chun Feng collected the invitation, clasped his fists and bowed: "Master, I will send the invitation now, Master, wait for good news."

Chun Yu stared at the square, golden official seal of the Phoenix Envoy with a burning look in his eyes. "Master, someone owes me two hundred taels of silver and has not paid it back for three years. Can you give me an official seal and ask her to pay the money back?"

The official seal can also be used to collect debts for others!

"Two hundred taels is not much, how about I give you some money?"

This was her first time to be an official in ancient times, and she was not allowed to use public resources for personal gain.
