When Uncle Hua heard this, he immediately looked at the words under the magnifying glass and quickly said, "I see. I can't tell with a rough look, but after using this magnifying glass, I can see that the word 'Qian' was obviously added by someone else. It's completely different from my own handwriting."
Yun Ruoyue asked, "Uncle Hua, what kind of ink do you usually use?"
"I use the highest quality pine smoke ink. When I use this ink, I have a habit of adding two drops of white wine to the ink to make it more fragrant, mellow, and smooth. This way, the ink won't stink easily. Moreover, the ink stick is delicate and the words written will not be forked. It's clean and neat. Look at the two new words. It's obvious that the ink used is rubbish. This ink is dry and hard, and there are a lot of impurities in it. It's much worse than my ink, "Uncle Hua said angrily.
"Really, let me smell it." After the steward finished speaking, he curiously moved closer to the two words and smelled them. He immediately scrunched up his face in disgust. "The two new words are so smelly. I can tell that it's not a good ink."
Then, he sniffed the other words on the account book, and his face immediately became relaxed and happy. "Wow, the other words are so fragrant. Not only is there the fragrance of pine, there's also the fragrance of wine. Your Highness, I'm sure that Uncle Hua was framed by someone. It's obvious that someone changed 'one hundred taels' to 'one thousand one hundred taels'. Uncle Hua was framed by someone."
"Then smell Li Xiucai's handwriting." After Yun Ruoyue finished speaking, she handed the account books that Li Xiucai had written to the steward.
At that moment, Li Xiucai's pupils dilated rapidly and his heart began to thump wildly.
Nangong Rou also glared at Yun Ruoyue viciously and her face broke out in cold sweat.
"Princess, what do you mean? Are you suspecting my cousin?" Nangong Rou could not help but ask coldly.
mark(“zhong“);
"Yes, I suspect that your cousin was the one who faked the accounts. He was the one who added the words because his account book also has the same stench of ink." Yun Ruoyue raised her eyebrows.
Seeing that Yun Ruoyue now had real power, the housekeeper hurriedly took the account books, put his face close to the account books, closed his eyes, and sniffed carefully.
When he smelled it, he was so frightened that he staggered.
He held back his disgust and took Yun Ruoyue's magnifying glass to scan the account book. In the end, he quickly threw the account book away and said with a look of disgust, "This ink stinks, just like those two words. What's more, after zooming in on Li Xiucai's handwriting, it's as forked as the two new words. Judging from the rough ink, it's blurred and broken. It's obvious that he used the same kind of rubbish ink. "
When Li Xiucai heard this, his face turned pale with fright. He hurriedly said, "You are slandering me. Based on the ink, you are trying to frame me for embezzling money? When Uncle Hua embezzled the public funds, I hadn't even entered the prince's mansion yet. How could I have done it? Your Highness, I'm not convinced. "
"Perhaps someone took the account book out and colluded with you to add the words on the outside? Otherwise, how can you explain why the ink you used is exactly the same as the ink used to add the new words? "Yun Ruoyue sneered.
"How, how would I know? I bought the ink in the study room. Perhaps the person who added the words used the same ink as me?" Li Xiucai looked guiltily at Nangong Rou after he finished speaking.
He did not know that the princess was so skilled that she could tell the difference in handwriting just by the smell of the ink.
"Is that so? If you don't tell the truth, I'll immediately report it to the officials and ask them to check the study room where you bought the ink. They'll see how many people bought the same ink as you recently. If there isn't anyone, then I'm sorry. "Yun Ruoyue sneered.
