Before Lu Baichuan could understand the meaning of her words, she pulled out a dark object out of thin air, put all the evidence she had found into it, and made a clicking sound. After a while, it fell out from the other side.
Lu Baichuan was stunned. Before he could understand what was going on, He Jiuniang presented him with two identical pieces of evidence.
No, it can't be said that they are exactly the same. It's just that the previous ones showed signs of being handled and looked a bit old, while the other one was very new.
Apart from that, both the handwriting and the red seal are exactly the same.
Is this what they mean by being cut from the same mold?
Although printing technology existed in this era, it was relatively backward. Even if printing was possible, it couldn't be done so quickly, and the handwriting was exactly the same as the original handwritten text. Even if the owner stood in front of them, they might not be able to recognize which one was their own handwriting.
"How...how did they do that?"
Lu Baichuan looked like he'd never seen anything like it before, and he stammered so much he couldn't even speak clearly.
"A photocopier! That way we can take the original evidence with us and leave this fake one."
To make it more authentic, He Jiuniang chose paper that was unique to this era, only relatively new.
"But this is too new."
Lu Baichuan took it and examined it carefully. It was so new that it could easily slip from his hand; someone would definitely notice.
"We can make it look old!"
He Jiuniang didn't think this was a problem at all. She put away the printing press and the original evidence, then grabbed a few new pieces of evidence and began to ravage them. Her movements were rough and barbaric, but very effective. In no time, the paper was covered with the marks of time.
Lu Baichuan stopped talking, and the two of them worked together to fabricate a thick stack of evidence.
Not only that, He Jiuniang also found a seal, made a replica without saying a word, kept the fake one, and kept the real one for herself.
Lu Baichuan was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Sure enough, he was the useless, lagging behind!
After He Jiuniang finished doing all this, she saw Lu Baichuan staring at her like a fool. She blinked and said, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and check if you have any money left. Ten thousand taels of silver can't soothe my wounded heart!"
Lu Baichuan: ...
He started searching carefully, and sure enough, there was one!
It was hidden in a small compartment behind the bookshelf, quite discreetly.
Unfortunately, Lu Baichuan still managed to find her.
There wasn't any particular reason; his wife just gave him some kind of gadget called a "testing device"—it could scan any brick in the room and tell you which one was hollow.
He Jiuniang counted them; they totaled a full 80,000 taels of silver.
Needless to say, they took them all. This time, they took out the photocopier and put some fake ones on it.
This banknote is unusual. It has some markings that can distinguish its authenticity, and even the texture is different from ordinary paper. It is difficult to make a one-to-one replica. He Jiu Niang did not waste her time and made it extremely perfunctorily.
Anyway, by the time they discover the problem, we should be able to catch them all in one fell swoop.
"Hehehe, this trip tonight was totally worth it!"
He Jiuniang put the things inside, and the two prepared to leave.
Just as I was about to leave, I heard the sound of a door opening upstairs, followed by the sound of two people's footsteps. Then, they even activated a mechanism under the bed, preparing to get down.
The basement was so spacious that you could see right under the table, so it was impossible to leave quietly tonight.
Lu Baichuan gestured to He Jiuniang, indicating that she should stand against the wall first, while he went to the entrance, ready to take action if anyone came in.
He Jiuniang, however, couldn't bear to part with him and insisted on squeezing in with him.
Lu Baichuan felt a warmth in his heart, thinking that his wife was still very attached to him. He planned to take down the person who came in right away and make a good impression on his wife, showing her that he wasn't actually a burden.
"squeak--"
Someone lifted the bed board and carried a candlestick down.
"Be careful, it's dark down there, don't fall."
"I know, I know, it's not like it's the first time I've come."
"Why are we so unlucky lately? We keep running into all sorts of bad luck."
"Who says otherwise?"
...
As the two were talking, just as the candlelight was about to illuminate the spot where Lu Baichuan and his wife were, Lu Baichuan raised his hand, ready to finish off the man, but his hand fell and missed.
Looking up, I saw that the two had already walked to the desk and were still chatting quietly.
"We need to contact someone to send tea over quickly. Qian Xing can be of great help at this time. Tell Yu Lian to step up her efforts and bring over two boatloads this time. Otherwise, if someone shows symptoms in a few days, we will be in great danger."
"And then there's the person in the capital. It turns out he's a member of the royal family. We really underestimated him. Let's use him too. Have him send some tea to the old emperor. If he's willing, it means he's still on our side. Otherwise, we should cut ties. He's been cooperating with us for so long without revealing his true identity. He's just using us as pawns!"
"No, we have to make him work for us whether he wants to or not. He took so many benefits from us before, how can we not get some interest back? Anyway, we have dirt on him, so he won't dare to go against us."
One of them talked on and on, while the other kept writing as instructed.
Lu Baichuan then realized what was happening and asked He Jiuniang, "Can't they see us?"
He Jiuniang said, "Yes! We are now in the space I told you about. We can see them, but they can't see us."
At the beginning, Lu Baichuan's feelings were like this: Σ(?д?)??
Now, having ridden in a helicopter, seen a photocopier, and played with a 3D stereoscopic replica machine, Lu Baichuan's current mood is like this: (?′3`)?！ ！ ！ Wife is so amazing, wife is so awesome, this macho man is so proud!
He's made up his mind. He doesn't need to show off anymore. His wife is so amazing, he can just lie down and be done with it!
Because he was so obsessed with his wife, he didn't hear what the other two people were saying at all.
He Jiuniang said disdainfully, "You were daydreaming in class! Here, take these notes, you can copy them!"
Lu Baichuan looked at the notebook that had actually been thrown at him: ...
The notebook was filled with detailed notes, listing the key points of their conversation in bullet points:
I. Let Money Prosper Tea
Second, let Prince Lin send tea.
Third, let Qin Jian sell tea.
Fourth, find an opportunity to kill He Jiuniang.
Fifth, if we can't get rid of He Jiuniang, then we'll get rid of her son!
Lu Baichuan: ...
There's no need to be so meticulous...
However, the dog may be in danger in the next few days, so be careful!
