Chapter 642 The remnants of the previous dynasty

"Your Majesty, Jiang Xiuzhuan was assigned the task of compiling the Imperial Code when he just entered the Imperial Academy. He had no time to read the documents of the previous dynasties. Could it be that he was used to it and just wrote it down casually?

Ten years ago, the remnants of the previous dynasty began to run rampant. They were still determined to make a comeback. Although the emperor had made wise decisions in recent years and defeated them, it did not mean that they were completely wiped out.

I am afraid that they have been hiding their power and biding their time in the past few years, infiltrating the court officials, trying to erode and disintegrate the power of the court, and bring disaster to the court!" Minister of Industry Feng Side stepped out.

Jiang Youzhen cursed inwardly, "You good old Sixth Brother, when did I ever offend you? You actually want to accuse me of being a remnant of the previous dynasty? You are going to kill all my clans! I will remember you."

"I second the motion! I think we should immediately investigate Jiang Youzhen and seal off the Jiang family to see if we can find evidence of his dealings with the remnants of the previous dynasty. If it is true, we can follow the clues and find out the whereabouts of the remnants."

Shangshu Sui Yuan Dynasty would rather kill ten thousand people by mistake than let one go, because when the previous emperor was plotting rebellion, their Sui family made great contributions.

If those remnants want to make a comeback, they will definitely target the Sui family first.

"Your Majesty, I think that if we block the Jiang family before the matter is fully investigated, it will inevitably cause panic. If there are indeed remnants and they have nothing to do with Lord Jiang, wouldn't that be alarming the enemy?"

Tong Huaian tried to hold back again and again, but still couldn't.

Everyone looked at him, and Sui Yuanchao even yelled at him.

"Editor Tong, you are just a small editor, how dare you butt in? Why are you so protective of Jiang Youzhen? Are you in cahoots with her?"

The Sui and Yuan dynasties killed people indiscriminately together. Since they were not from the same lineage as him, their intentions must be ulterior motives, so naturally we would seize every opportunity to eliminate them.

This Tong Huaian is a close confidant of the Fourth Prince, so it would be great if he could implicate the Fourth Prince.

Jiang Youzhen looked at Sui Yuanchao coldly and said, "You old boy, just wait for me!"

"Your Majesty, this was definitely not written by me."

"Then tell me, is this handwriting yours?" asked the Minister of Industry Feng Side impatiently.

"Yes and no!" Jiang Youzhen shook his head.

Everyone rolled their eyes, and Sui Yuanchao sneered, "Are you trying to fool the emperor and all the officials present? Your Majesty, in my opinion, arrest him immediately and put him in the Dali Temple for interrogation."

"I know Lord Sui is anxious, but please don't be anxious yet." Jiang Youzhen said.

Sui Yuanchao sneered, "Why am I so anxious? Well, let's see how you can defend yourself."

"Your Majesty, please allow me to make my statement."

Seeing Jiang Youzhen's unhurried attitude, everyone rolled their eyes. He was in a critical situation, but he still allowed people to plead guilty. I wonder if he would be so calm when his head fell.

However, Huang Mintao had a bad feeling. Why was Jiang Youzhen so calm? This was not in line with common sense.

"You say!" The emperor had calmed down at this moment, but his face was still as gloomy as water.

"Your Majesty, I just discovered something strange!"

As Jiang Youzhen spoke, he raised the file in his hand and pointed it towards the sunlight.

Everyone was a little confused, but still looked over following Jiang Youzhen's gaze.

"Please look, is there any difference here?"

Tong Huaian heaved a sigh of relief. Everyone was keeping the secret until now, it was safe!

Everyone looked over. After a moment, the Minister of War Sui Yuanchao sneered impatiently, "Mystifying! What's the difference?"

Jiang Youzhen took a look and then said, "I'm sorry, it's really hard to see clearly from this angle."

Everyone's face twitched, and Jiang Youzhen adjusted the angle and aimed at everyone.

"What do you guys want to see?"

Tong Huaian had already stared at the file, wishing he could stare a flower out of it.

Suddenly, he exclaimed, "There seems to be something in the middle."

Jiang Youzhen said: "Yes, please bring a needle over."

As she spoke, she turned and looked at the emperor. The emperor was stunned, then waved his hand at Zhou Zhong unhappily.

Zhou Zhong immediately brought out a thin silver needle. Jiang Youzhen stepped forward, spread the files on the ground, and was ready to take action, but was stopped by someone.

"What are you going to do? Are you going to destroy the evidence?" Sui Yuanchao stopped him immediately.

Jiang Youzhen curled his lips, "Sir Sui, if you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext. Don't say that I am currently suspected of a crime. Even if I am innocent, if the king wants me to die, I have to die.

What is this so-called evidence of guilt? Can this humble official do something under the Emperor's nose? The Emperor is wise and powerful, and he will make the decision. "

These words immediately made the emperor feel relieved. He was the emperor. If he wanted to convict someone, what did it matter if he had no evidence?

Seeing that the emperor's expression had softened after Jiang Youzhen's few words, everyone couldn't help but frown.

Here comes another one who is very eloquent and can flatter them even better than them.

"My dear Minister Sui, why don't you let her try? We can't prevent her from defending herself, right?" The emperor's tone was gentle, as if his anger had mostly subsided.

Tong Huaian's mouth curled up immediately. She really had the ability to make people confused. Just like the hard-hearted Second Prince, who still regarded Jiang Youzhen as his confidant!

Jiang Youzhen had already raised his needle and was gently stroking the edge of the word "Deputy". Everyone was curious and came closer.

Huang Mintao was already confused by Jiang Youzhen's action. He stretched his neck, and when he saw Jiang Youzhen drawing the edge of the paper around the word "deputy", he was even more surprised.

What on earth was this person trying to keep secret? He was a little confused.

"Huh? There are words at the bottom of this paper?" Luo Chengyi asked in surprise.

"Is this words within words? Is it similar to the legendary painting within painting?" Tong Huaian immediately understood what Jiang Youzhen was doing and was greatly surprised.

Jiang Youzhen carefully lifted the edge, then picked up a small piece of paper. When everyone looked at it, wasn’t it the word “Deputy”?

"Please see, everyone, someone copied my handwriting and then pasted it on my original file. In this way, what was presented to the emperor must be wrong. This person has ulterior motives and wants to frame me."

"Then why did he make such a fuss? It must be difficult to stick this piece of paper on perfectly. If it is discovered, all the previous efforts will be wasted. Why doesn't he copy the whole thing and replace your file?" Sui Yuanchao jumped out again.

Jiang Youzhen then smiled slightly, "Master Sui asked a good question. That's because it is easier to copy one character than to copy thousands of characters. If you copy too much, you will always be exposed.

How can it be so easy to imitate someone's handwriting? Once we compare them, we can tell the real from the fake."

Everyone couldn't help but nod, and they all agreed deeply.

"This person is really cunning. He actually came up with this idea. And his pasting skills are quite good. He can do it so naturally that there is no abnormality."

This was also Tong Huaian’s first time seeing this. It is true that the world is full of wonders.
