As soon as I put it on, I met a sickly man
Chapter 37 Turbulent Waves
Master Zhao opened the envelope with trembling hands and pulled out the letter inside.
There were only a few words in the letter, but the more he read, the paler his face became, then it turned to red, and finally he was ecstatic.
He clutched the letter tightly, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and his originally limp body straightened up again.
"Hahaha... Censor Su, do you think you won? You are too naive!" Master Zhao suddenly laughed out loud. The laughter was sharp and piercing, with a hint of madness.
Magistrate Li looked at him blankly, not understanding what was happening. Censor Su also frowned slightly, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
"Master Zhao, what do you mean?" Censor Su asked in a deep voice.
Master Zhao did not answer, but raised the letter paper in his hand high and walked towards Censor Su.
"Master Su, please take a look for yourself! This is a letter from the capital!"
Censor Su took the letter and quickly glanced through it.
His expression gradually became solemn and his brows were furrowed.
The letter was stamped with a bright red seal, and its contents shocked him even more.
The crowd began to whisper. They didn't understand what was happening, but from the changes in the expressions of several officials, they felt that a bigger storm was about to come.
Jiang Yue stood in the crowd and became worried when he saw Master Zhao and others making new moves.
She felt as if she was trapped in a vortex from which she could never escape. No matter how hard she tried, the enemy always had new ways to deal with her.
This feeling of powerlessness made her a little depressed.
Qiu'er stood beside Jiang Yue, holding her hand tightly, her eyes full of worry.
"Miss, what should we do?" Qiu'er asked in a low voice.
Jiang Yue took a deep breath and tried to stay calm. "Don't be afraid, Qiu'er, there will always be a way."
At this time, Xuanyuan Che walked to Jiang Yue and whispered, "Miss Jiang, don't worry, I have sent someone to investigate."
Jiang Yue looked at him gratefully and felt a little relieved.
After reading the letter, Censor Su's face turned pale. He clenched the letter tightly in his hand without saying a word.
Seeing this, Master Zhao smiled smugly and said, "Master Su, do you have anything else to say now?"
Censor Su took a deep breath and said slowly: "This matter is of great importance. I need..." Before he could finish his words, Master Zhao interrupted him.
"Master Su, you don't have to worry about it anymore," said Master Zhao with a sinister smile on his face. "This letter is enough to prove everything." He paused and turned his gaze to Jiang Yue, a fierce look flashing in his eyes. "Jiang Yue, your good days are over!"
Jiang Yue's heart was pounding, and the sinister smile on Master Zhao's face made her feel a chill.
She subconsciously clenched Qiu'er's hand, her knuckles turning white.
The discussions around her came like a tide, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
At this moment, Censor Su's expression changed subtly.
His originally furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and a barely perceptible gleam flashed in his eyes.
He coughed lightly, refolded the letter in his hand, and put it back in Master Zhao's hands.
"Master Zhao, I need to further verify the contents of this letter."
The smile on Master Zhao's face froze. He looked at Censor Su in disbelief, "Master Su, what do you mean? This is..."
"What is this?" Censor Su's tone suddenly became sharp. He looked directly into Master Zhao's eyes and said, "Master Zhao, can you guarantee the authenticity of this letter?"
Mr. Zhao was visibly stunned. He hadn't expected Censor Su's sudden change of heart. He stammered, "This...this is of course...true."
Censor Su sneered, "Really? Commander Xuanyuan has already submitted to me the evidence that you colluded with Advisor Wang and forged the letter." He paused, then pulled a letter from his sleeve, unfolding it and showing it to everyone, "This letter is the real secret letter from the capital!"
Master Zhao's face turned pale in an instant, his lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a word.
County Magistrate Li was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, muttering "It's over, it's over" over and over.
There was a burst of exclamations from the crowd; they had not expected such a dramatic turn of events.
Jiang Yue and Qiu'er also breathed a sigh of relief, with relieved smiles on their faces.
Xuanyuan Che stood aside, his expression still stern, but a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, Advisor Wang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up. He walked up to Censor Su, took out a letter from his pocket, and said in a deep and powerful voice, "Sir Su, this letter contains evidence of Jiang Yue's collusion with the enemy country..."
Wang Moushi's voice was not loud, but it exploded among the crowd like thunder.
"Sir Su, this letter contains evidence of Jiang Yue's collusion with the enemy country..." He held the letter high, and the bright red wax seal on the envelope was particularly eye-catching.
The crowd was in an uproar, and the public opinion that had originally leaned towards Jiang Yue suddenly turned to the other side as if controlled by an invisible hand.
The whispers gradually grew louder, finally merging into a noisy buzz.
Jiang Yue's heart sank suddenly, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
She looked at Wang Moushi in disbelief. This old fox who had been hiding behind the scenes finally showed his fangs.
"This is impossible!" Qiu'er exclaimed. She held Jiang Yue's hand tightly, her eyes full of worry.
Ding Chen also frowned. He stepped forward, standing in front of Jiang Yue, and stared at Wang Moushi warily. "What evidence do you have to prove the authenticity of this letter?"
Counselor Wang sneered, ignoring Ding Chen's questioning. He walked straight to Censor Su and handed him the letter. "Master Su is very observant and can tell the truth from the false at a glance."
After reading the letter, Censor Su's expression became serious.
He slowly unfolded the letter, and lines of beautiful handwriting came into view. The letter described in detail the time, place, and specific transaction content of Jiang Yue's secret meeting with the enemy envoy, and even had Jiang Yue's personal signature and seal.
There were bursts of exclamations from the crowd, and many people began pointing and looking at Jiang Yue with eyes full of suspicion and hostility.
Even Doctor Liu, who had always supported Jiang Yue, looked hesitant at this moment.
Jiang Yue's face was as pale as paper. She bit her lips tightly, trying hard to suppress the fear and anger in her heart.
She knew that this was a trap carefully planned by Master Zhao and Advisor Wang, with the purpose of putting her to death.
"This...this..." Magistrate Li stammered, pointing at Jiang Yue, "This...this...treason...treason..."
Master Zhao looked at Jiang Yue with a smug look on his face, his eyes filled with the pleasure of revenge.
He seemed to have seen the scene of Jiang Yue being escorted to Beijing and being tortured.
Xuanyuan Che's gaze fell on Jiang Yue with a complicated look. He gripped the hilt of the sword tightly in his hand, his heart full of contradictions and struggles.
Censor Su's eyes flickered between the letter and Jiang Yue. He asked in a deep voice, "Miss Jiang, do you recognize this letter?"
Jiang Yue took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
She knew that any excuses would be futile at this moment, and she had to find a breakthrough to reverse this critical situation.
She slowly raised her head, looked directly at Censor Su, and said word by word: "Sir, this letter..."
"It's fake." Wang Moushi suddenly interrupted her, a cold smile on his face. "But, I have another one..."
