Qiao Xin thought for a moment before saying, "It's not a big deal to restore the handwriting, but you have to think it through. You only have one chance to restore it."
Xu Can's eyes were determined. Even if there was a chance to turn the tables, he would try it!
"Auntie, just tell me what to do. After the job is done, I will give you one thousand taels as a reward. You can take me to Laohu Town to introduce me to the family. In the future, our two families can visit each other more often. How do you think?"
Qiao Xin raised her eyebrows and changed her tone, saying, "What's the point of talking about money? This method may not be worth much if it is told to others. It's just a little trick!"
Xu Can snorted coldly, "Is this your little trick? In the past few years, I have been taking over the family affairs with my old man, and this is the first time I have encountered such a big setback. Even someone like me can't see through it, so wouldn't ordinary people be even more unlucky if they encountered it?
I don't know how many good people he has cheated with this method. I want to completely stop him from doing this evil thing."
Qiao Xin actually looked up to this little dandy. She didn't expect that this kid was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and acted so uprightly.
Qiao Xin didn't mind helping such a person. So she said, "You also said that this document was written three months ago, not too long ago. There's nothing wrong with the paper, it's just the ink that's wrong."
"How is it wrong? I saw that guy write it with my own eyes."
"The ink used to write this IOU is not real ink, but squid ink. After three months, the words written with it will disappear completely without any trace of ink. This is a trick developed by some scammers in the underworld."
"Inkfish ink? What is that?"
Everyone in the room looked confused, not knowing what Qiao Xin was talking about.
Qiao Xin then remembered that due to geographical limitations, everyone here may not have many opportunities to come into contact with seafood.
"There is no place near the sea in Dajing, so it's normal that you don't know. Fishermen near the sea know that there is a kind of soft-bodied fish in the sea. When it encounters danger, it will spray a lot of ink to make the surrounding sea water turbid, making it easier to escape. Fishermen also call this fish squid.
Some swindlers collect this kind of ink and use it to deceive others into writing land deeds, pawn tickets, and even cooking accounts.
If the time is more than three months, the basic traces will be gone, and if the other party still refuses to admit it, the victim will have no choice but to accept the loss. "
Qiao Xin handed him a small porcelain bottle and said, "However, everything is interdependent, so this method is not unsolvable. When you confront him on the spot, use a small brush to apply a little of the potion inside, and the handwriting will appear. Remember, it can only last for half an hour at most!"
Xu Canteng stood up suddenly, took the bottle happily, grabbed the IOU on the table, turned around and walked out.
"Okay, you just wait, I'll go get the money!"
Qiao Xin didn't expect him to be so impatient. He didn't want to wait even a moment, so she asked hurriedly, "Hey, where are you going?"
"I want to go to the palace to file a complaint. The old man is not at home, so I'll ask Aunt Dowager to make the decision for us!"
After Xu Can left this sentence, he ran away with Chu Yuan!
Qiao Xin was helpless and slapped her forehead in annoyance, "How can this kid just say whatever he wants? Can't we just wait for two days?
At least you should wait until I leave before doing it! She went straight to the palace after leaving our house. Isn't this clearly telling others that this idea was given to her by our family!
If I'm not here, people might blame you for this! I think I've caused you some trouble!
Oh, what a mistake, what a mistake! "
"It's OK, my son can handle it, but how did mother know this method?"
"There are so many tricks like this. In my hometown, they have long been deciphered by the government and widely publicized! They are also bullying the common people here who have been wandering around in a few miles all their lives and have little experience."
It's only been three days since I came to Beijing, and things have been happening one after another. Qiao Xin really doesn't want to stay here any longer. The people here are all cunning and she really can't handle it. Let Lao Er handle it! Laohu Town is still suitable for her.
"Since you can handle it, I will go back first. I am busy at home. When I go back, I will send you another group of people. Pay more attention to your own safety in the future, and don't fall behind in martial arts..."
Qiao Xin turned into an old mother who protected her son, and kept on nagging and giving a lot of instructions.
Qiao Yunqing listened silently, nodding in agreement from time to time, without any impatience.
The mother and son get along warmly and harmoniously. All the servants in the mansion saw this scene. They felt that the relationship between the second master and the old lady was really good, and they were all glad that they found a good master.
Qiao Xin was unwilling to wait even a moment, so she rushed to the West Market and bought a carriage.
With her and Qiao Yunqing's status, riding in a carriage was not against the rules. She left the carriage to Qiao Yunqing and took the ox cart herself, returning to Laohu Town that day.
The next day, when Xu Can came to deliver the money, he was told that Qiao Xin had already left. He was stunned for a moment, then jumped up: "Chu Yuan, hurry up, go back and pack my luggage for me, I'm going to Laohu Town!"
Chu Yuan had a bitter face. What should he do if his master was too troublesome? But he still had to persuade him.
"My Lord, wait until the Marquis comes back and then tell him again, okay?"
"What are you waiting for? I'll just leave a letter for the old man! The old lady's house is not some other place, what are you afraid of? Brother Qiao, I'm going to your hometown first, and we'll meet again when I come back!"
The Mo family stared in amazement at the master and servant, who came and went in a hurry, jumping around like monkeys.
It was obvious that Prince Xu was a handsome man before, but how come he suddenly changed when he came to his family? He was too unsociable! When did their family become so close to Xiaoyao Hou's only child? Why have I never heard anyone mention it?
"Are you really not going to care? Xiaoyao Hou only has this precious child. If anything happens to him, I'm afraid we will be blamed."
Qiao Yunqing sighed and said, "Don't worry about it. Master Xu should bring a lot of people with him. It's not our turn to worry about safety. Once they leave the city, we'll send someone to deliver a letter to the old lady!"
Mo Jiaquan quickly responded, "Yes!"
Mo Jiaquan then asked, "If someone invites you to a gathering at Wangyue Tower, will you still go?"
Qiao Yunqing glanced at him and said, "The old lady asked you to drive away all the female mosquitoes before she left. Have you forgotten what she said? How about I take you back and listen to Nanny Qin's teachings?"
When Nanny Qin was mentioned, Mo Jiaquan woke up with a start and never dared to mention any gathering again!
