Qingyu Case: Female Minister of Dali Temple

Li Tianliu snorted coldly, "Sure!"

Chen Shao looked back at the letter in her hand, and her worry about Chen Zhao deepened. Chen Zhao's health was very poor, and even with the prescription she prescribed, it would be very difficult to recover without three to five years. But when she left Hongyuan County, as long as he was not too tired, he was no different from an ordinary person. How could he not even write her a letter?

Could it be that he was discovered and poisoned again?

Chan Yi noticed her strangeness, walked over to her, and looked at the letter in her hand. The moment he saw the letter, he couldn't help but say, "Is it another letter from the prince?"

Li Tianliu immediately looked over, looked at Chen Shao, and then looked at Chan Yi, "Is there a problem with the letter the prince sent back?"

"No problem!" Chan Yi replied quickly.

Li Tianliu looked at her suspiciously.

Chan Yi knew that she was overreacting, so she had to explain, "Young Master always writes to Second Master, but it's always the Crown Prince who replies, Second Master never replies once."

Li Tianliu still looked at her, even more suspicious than before.

Chan Yi glared at him guiltily: "What are you looking at? Is what I said wrong?"

Correct.

Right.

Li Tianliu withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.

Chen Shao suppressed his emotions, slowly put the letter away, and took the letter from the General of the State from Chan Yi's hand: "What do you think?"

Li Tianliu raised his eyebrows slightly: "The words and seals on those paintings are exactly the same as those on this letter."

Chen Shaoshun followed his words and took a look at the words and seal on the letter. "Besides this, what do you think about the fact that the General of the State sent Miss Gu Liu to guard the border at the Duke of Chen's Mansion?"

"There are too many opinions," Li Tianliu said after telling her all the rumors about Miss Gu Liu. "Even if Miss Gu Liu needs to explain, the General should let her explain to you or Mr. Chen Er. Letting her go to the border guarded by the Duke Chen's Mansion... I can't think of any other reason except provocation."

"Provocation..." Chen Shao had also heard some rumors about Miss Gu Liu, but he didn't know whether they were true or not. Regardless of whether the rumors were true or not, at a time when the Chen Guogong Mansion was in decline, he sent Miss Gu Liu to go there, which was indeed a provocation. But he didn't know whether his provocation was directed at her personally or at her action of asking Li Tianliu to send those calligraphy and paintings. After thinking carefully for a moment, Chen Shao decided that no matter what the reason for his provocation was, it was not appropriate to conflict with him at the moment.

Thinking of this, she ordered: "Send a letter to the border, telling everyone that no matter what Miss Gu Liu said or did in the past, don't take it to heart, just treat her as a distinguished guest and receive her well."

Li Tianliu also knew that the current situation was not suitable for making any more enemies, so he stood up and went into the study. He casually tore off a piece of paper and laid it out, then picked up a pen and said to Chan Yi with a sidelong glance, "Come here and grind the ink."

Chan Yi rolled her eyes, but still went over to grind some ink for him.

Li Tianliu was not a person who liked to write letters, but because the ink was good today, he could not help but write two pages before stopping. After the ink dried, he folded the letter neatly and took it out to hand it to the Yulin Guard.

When Quan Shuyu saw this, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

"The plan for the integration of the cloth shops," Chen Shao picked up Shopkeeper Fang's plan when he saw that Xu Guang had not arrived yet. "Just tell Shopkeeper Fang what you said before. In addition, you should arrange for all the shopkeepers to come and work together. Do it quickly and don't wait for his idea. It's not only unrealistic, but also a waste of time."

The whole book should be Yu Ying.

After arranging a few other trivial matters, Xu Guang came in a hurry.

"How are the corpses being pieced together?" Chen Shao asked as he handed him the letter from the General Auxiliary to the State, and asked Chan Yi to give him the calligraphy and paintings.

Xu Guangquan took it, put it on the desk, and replied, "It will be finished soon, just one or two days."

Chen Shao joked: "So, I asked you to come over and bothered you?"

Xu Guang repeatedly said no.

"That's good." Chen Shao pointed at the letter in his hand. "I called you here so urgently because I wanted you to see the difference between the handwriting and seal on this letter and the calligraphy and paintings."

Xu Guangyuan didn't understand what was going on, but when he heard that he was going to be taught a skill again, he immediately became excited. He took the letter to the window and read it carefully from beginning to end twice in the sunlight, then came back and took a painting and opened it. He was shocked when he saw the painting for the first time. He blinked hard, rubbed his eyes, and hurried back to the desk to pick up the letter again.

After placing the letter on the signature of the calligraphy and painting and comparing it over and over again, he opened another calligraphy and painting in disbelief.

Seeing that he was so busy that sweat formed on his forehead, Fu Jiu went over to pick up the remaining calligraphy and paintings, opened them, and stood in front of the window holding them all up so that he could compare them more easily.

After Xu Guang thanked him, he looked at the letter in his hand, then at the calligraphy and painting he was holding. After comparing them over and over again for a long time, he shook his head and said, "It looks like it. It really looks like it."

Fu Jiu put her head between the two paintings and asked, "How are they similar?"

Xu Guang was amazed and said, "They are exactly the same."

Li Tianliu and Chan Yi heard what he said and came forward one after another. Chan Yi looked at the calligraphy and the letter and asked him, "Does 'exactly the same' mean that these calligraphy and the letter were written by the same person?"

Xu Guang wanted to say yes, but thinking that Chen Shao had specially asked him to come, it must not be that simple, so he said ambiguously: "It's hard to say, it's hard to say."

Fu Jiu asked, "Does it mean yes or no?"

After Xu Guang compared them for a while, he finally gave up: "Forgive my poor eyesight, but I really can't tell whether it is or not."

Fu Jiu put the painting away and asked, "Why did you spend so much time looking at it?"

Xu Guang did not answer, but looked at Chen Shao with hope on his face.

Chen Shao motioned Fu Jiu to put the painting back on the desk, and motioned Xu Guang to give her the letter. Then he slowly stood in front of the desk, pointed at the words "Six", "Treasure", "Home", "An" and asked Xu Guang, "Take a closer look at these words and see if you can figure out what they mean."

Xu Guang squinted his eyes and looked at them one by one.

Fu Jiu, Chan Yi, and Li Tianliu also followed suit and looked over one by one.

But after looking at it again and again, I couldn't see what it was all about.

Chen Shao handed the letter over and said, "Compare it with the same or similar words on the letter."

Xu Guang compared again and again, but still couldn't see any difference.

Chen Shao was not in a hurry. She took a pen and paper and gave it to Xu Guang, asking him to write the words she pointed out. After Xu Guang finished writing, she took the pen and wrote it again, then asked, "Do you see any difference?"

Fu Jiu answered quickly, "The order of writing is different."

"That's right." After Chen Shao praised him for a few sentences, he asked, "What's the difference between the words written in different orders?"

Fu Jiu, Chan Yi and Li Tianliu still couldn't see the difference, but after a careful observation, Xu Guang's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "I know!"
