Under everyone's surprised gazes, Liu Xun acted calmly and calmly explained: "Because the date is wrong."
Lu Tian couldn't help but ask: "What do you mean the date is wrong?"
Liu Xun walked to the public case, picked up the three contracts, first pointed to the date stamped by the contract official in Dongyuan Zhiku, and said slowly: "The date on which this contract was signed was October 17th last year."
Then he pointed to the other two contracts and said, "The dates these two contracts were signed are March 9, the fifteenth year of Qianxing, and April 10 this year."
Everyone was confused and confused as to what Liu Xun meant by pointing out these dates.
Qiu Buwei asked: "What does Mr. Liu mean?"
Liu Xun smiled slightly and said: "On September 26 last year, Rioux has adopted a new official seal. Although the style of the new official seal has not changed, the font has been slightly changed."
Having said this, he pointed to the official seal on the contract of Dongyuan Zhiku and said: "This is the imprint of the new official seal."
Then he picked up the two contracts from Qianqiu Zhiku and continued: "The seals on these two contracts are old official seals, but one was signed on March 9, the fifteenth year of Qianxing, so the contract is real."
Finally, he took out the new contract, looked directly at Lu Tian, and said slowly: "The date of signing this contract is April 10th this year. At this time, the new official seal has already been used, but this contract's seal But it has an old official seal, so this contract must be fake."
After listening to Liu Xun's explanation, Lu Tian's face immediately turned pale. He never thought that there were old and new official seals.
He blushed and argued loudly: "But that contract was clearly stamped with the official seal at Rio de Janeiro a few days ago. How could it be fake?"
These few words of defense were weak, and Liu Xun squinted at Lu Tian.
He said lightly: "A few days ago? I personally stamped all the official seals on the contract, but I have no impression of this contract. I'm afraid Qianqiu Zhiku was deceived."
Liu Xun's eyes were full of sarcasm and teasing, which made Lu Tian extremely flustered. He took a deep breath, tried to keep himself calm, and said slowly: "Qianqiu Zhiku cannot be deceived. This contract was signed three days ago. Jiang Qinghe and I signed the contract at the Liyuan Department, and the official seal was..."
At this point, Lu Tian's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't continue to speak.
Liu Xun smiled and asked, "But it was my official seal?"
Lu Tian shook his head with difficulty: "No."
"Then who stamped the official seal for Manager Lu?"
"An adult named Sheng."
Liu Xun thought for a while and laughed: "There is no official named Sheng in the Liyue Department at all. And according to the court regulations, for any contract that needs to be recognized by the Liyue Department, no official except Siyue has the right to use Liyue." The official seal of the appointment department. On April 10, I personally stamped the official seal on fifty-seven contracts, but this contract is not among the fifty-seven contracts."
After listening to Liu Xun's explanation, everyone felt that Qianqiu Zhiku was deceived by Jiang Qinghe and used a fake contract to defraud him of one hundred thousand taels of silver.
One hundred thousand taels of silver, the onlookers couldn't help but shook their heads and sighed.
Tian Wenhao's mind was not on the court. He had been paying attention to Su Shi's expression.
But he still found nothing.
Except when Liu Xun was explaining how he could tell the authenticity of the official seal, Su Shi was a little interested. At other times, he just stood there in a daze, showing no signs of panic or nervousness at all.
Su Shi's expression made Tian Wenhao panic for no reason. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master Qiu, since Master Liu has confirmed that the contract held by Qianqiu Zhiku is false, please ask Master Qiu to sentence Qianqiu Zhiku for innocently injuring people and seizing land. sin."
Qiu Buwei looked around and saw that neither King Qi nor Princess Ping Le gave any sign. He sighed secretly and looked at Lu Tian. He was about to speak when a young prince slowly walked out from the side of the court.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the young master.
Su Shi walked to Tian Wenhao and suddenly smiled at him. When Tian Wenhao saw Su Shi's smile, he suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure.
Su Shi looked at Qiu Buwei and said, "I met Mr. Qiu when I was in Xia Su."
Qiu Buwei knew that he couldn't afford to offend everyone present today, so he immediately replied with a smile: "I wonder if Master Su has anything else to say?"
Su Shi said: "Since Liu Siyue has confirmed that my Qianqiu Zhiku contract is false, I would like to ask Liu Siyue a few questions."
Qiu Buwei looked at Liu Xun, who smiled slightly and said, "Young Master Su, if you have any questions, just ask. I will tell you everything I know."
Su Shi nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you Liu Siyue."
Then he calmed down his expression and said seriously: "Since Liu Siyue is here to testify today, he naturally has to leave evidence. Now it's just Liu Siyue's verbal statement that our contract official seal is fake. I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."
Liu Xun seemed to have known that Su Shi would do this. He smiled and said, "The official seal is on my body now. You can tell if it is true or false at a glance."
Su Shi said: "Then please ask Liu Siyue to show us his official seal for us to argue. In this way, we will be convinced that we have lost this lawsuit."
Liu Xundao: "What's so difficult about this?"
Then he asked for a blank paper, then took out the official seal and ink pad from his arms, and stamped it heavily on the blank paper.
After Liu Xun received the official seal, he placed the blank paper on top of the official case and said with a smile: "Please give me your opinion, Mr. Qiu."
Qiu Buwei carefully distinguished it for a while, then raised his head and said, "Yes, this official seal is exactly the same as the official seal on the contract of Dongyuan Zhiku."
Then he hung the three contracts and the blank paper with the official seal in the air and displayed them. Su Shi took a look at them and nodded slightly.
At this time, Liu Xun raised his eyes and looked at Su Shi: "I wonder if Mr. Su has any other questions you want to ask?"
Su Shi turned to look at Lu Tian and asked slowly: "The place where you and Jiang Qinghe signed the contract was in Liyuesi?"
Lu Tian hurriedly replied: "Yes. And there was Lin Huyuan with us that day, and Lin Huyuan can testify."
Su Shi looked at Liu Xun again, smiled and said, "I wonder what Liu Siyue's explanation for this matter is?"
Liu Xun muttered: "There are no less than a hundred people coming in and out of Liyue Department every day, and the entire Liyue Department only has seven or eight people. Therefore, everyone is busy with their affairs and naturally cannot take care of other things. Therefore, someone who is interested may take advantage of the loopholes." .I will definitely put things in order after I go back."
Su Shi sighed: "Liu Siyue's words were taken advantage of by someone with serious intentions. I'm afraid it won't be convincing."
Liu Siyao smiled slightly and said, "Since Jiang Qinghe intends to use a fake contract to defraud Qianqiu Zhiku's money, in order to gain your trust, it is not impossible to find someone to pretend to be an official of the Liyue Department."
"A costume and an empty room are enough for this scene."
"Even if Jiang Qinghe can find someone to pretend to be someone from Rioux, what about the official seal? How can he get the official seal?"
