Chapter 202: It's Done
The two clerks looked at each other and asked in unison, "You were the one who asked that question just now?"
"It's not me!"
The two denied it almost at the same time, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became more weird.
Many years of experience in working in the six ministries made them keep their mouths shut. Even though their legs and feet were so weak from fear, they did not scream.
They held each other tightly, forgot about patrolling in front, and walked towards the classroom in the backyard in fear.
Only after seeing the two men leave the yard did Daiyu jump down from the beam in the corridor.
She murmured quietly, "It's easy to get!"
She reopened the scanned image of the Ministry of Revenue and quickly found several baskets of things that looked like scrolls in a row of rooms in the main hall.
Although the door of the room was locked, it was no problem for Daiyu.
She walked to the window, unbolted the wooden bolt behind the window, and jumped in. In order to leave no trace, she also thoughtfully used her inner strength to erase the footprints she left in the corridor outside.
After locking the window, she easily found the baskets of scrolls next to the bookshelf in the inner room.
Pick up any scroll at random, and you will find detailed information about a woman who is eligible for selection.
Daiyu made a rough calculation and found that there were tens of thousands of scrolls in these baskets. This meant that tens of thousands of people had signed up for this selection!
While she was sighing at the emperor's good fortune, she began to touch the scrolls.
Even if these scrolls only record the information of the concubines, they are still scrolls!
But Daiyu only got 0.1 points for each scroll, which really made her feel a little sad.
However, adhering to the principle that "no matter how small a mosquito leg is, it is still meat", Daiyu groped in the basket meticulously.
Even after two years of affluent life in her little world, she still hasn't changed her stingy character.
But when she touched the back, she found that the points had not moved. She was a little puzzled, so she took out a random scroll and opened it, only to find that the content on it had been crossed out.
Daiyu's heart moved and she began to search in the basket.
Fortunately, there were not many scrolls in the basket, and Daiyu quickly found the scroll that was suspected to be Xue Baochai's, which was pressed at the bottom.
She couldn't help but laugh. The original was found so easily without her having to go through all the trouble to forge a copy.
After collecting so many "mosquito legs", Daiyu also discovered an interesting pattern: the handwritings recorded on them were different, which greatly reduced the difficulty of her forgery.
She took out a button flashlight, adjusted the brightness to the dimmest, randomly pulled out a scroll of another concubine, and then walked to the desk of Minister Zuo.
She first carefully peeled off the scratched paper from the discarded scroll, and then found a piece of dark-patterned rice paper that was extremely similar to the original.
The next step is even easier, just copy the “model essay” directly.
She copied it according to the format of other concubines' scrolls, replacing the household registration information in the middle with Xue Baochai's.
To be on the safe side, she also took out the reply letter that Xue Baochai wrote to her.
After doing this, Daiyu did not rush to the warehouse to find a spare seal of the Ministry of Revenue, but went to look for the roster first.
However, when she flipped through the roster, she was dumbfounded.
Where Xue Baochai's name was written, a striking red cross was drawn on it with a vermilion pen.
Now, even adding Xue Baochai’s name at the end is not allowed. What should I do?
[111, is there any solvent in the system mall that can decompose cinnabar? It would be best if it can evaporate on its own.]
[Yes!] 111's voice sounded immediately, and then the product details page was opened for Daiyu.
Looking at the price tag of five points, Daiyu felt a little painful, but she still gritted her teeth and bought it!
She muttered to herself: Xue Baochai, you have to be more promising. I must earn these five points back from you in the future!
She took out her small calligraphy brush from the warehouse and carefully outlined the areas stained with cinnabar.
As the solvent decomposed the cinnabar, an unpleasant odor was released. Daiyu held her breath for a while before she finished this tedious process.
She was not in a hurry to collect the remaining books, but restored everything and went out the same way with the forged scroll.
She didn't waste any time, she knocked the warehouse manager unconscious, took the key from his waist, and swaggered in through the main door of the warehouse. She quickly stamped the document and then returned the same way.
The whole process went smoothly and no one noticed.
After Daiyu put the forged scroll back into the basket, she glanced at the time in the system and found that it was almost 2 a.m.
She was shocked because there was only one hour left before those officials were scheduled to go to court!
She quickly called up the previous scan image and restored the furnishings in the interior room to their original state according to the image. However, the unpleasant smell in the house still lingered and could not be dissipated.
Daiyu didn't care about all this. She hurriedly closed the window and slipped away.
The experiences of the clerks that night and the stench that the Left Vice Minister smelled in the inner room the next day added a bit of weirdness to the half-open window, but these had nothing to do with Daiyu.
When she returned to the Jia Mansion, she found Yingchun leaning not far from the back door, as if waiting for her return.
Daiyu walked close to Yingchun, and worried about scaring her, so when she was a few steps away, she whispered, "Yingchun, I'm back. Are you waiting for me?"
Yingchun wiped the corner of her mouth subconsciously and replied, "Of course! The guards in your yard are so strong that I can't get in, and I don't want them to find me, so I can only wait for you here."
Daiyu scratched her head: "I'm sorry!"
Yingchun yawned: "Come in, I'm so sleepy!"
The two changed their clothes, wiped their faces hastily, and went to bed together.
However, Daiyu did not fall asleep, but practiced the soul cultivation method. The advantage of this method of cultivation is that her soul is constantly improving while her body is fully rested.
Halfway through the practice, Daiyu felt that Yingchun was tightly wrapped around her body. She did not stop to push her away, but continued to practice with a smile on her face.
Since that night, Gu Ma Ma would come to check on Daiyu every morning. When Daiyu asked her why, she would not tell her.
But Daiyu understood that this was because Nanny Gu was worried that she would put herself in danger. This silent protection made Daiyu feel warm in her heart.
Daiyu also asked Lin Ji to send someone to tell Xue Baochai that the matter had been settled.
She also revealed to Xue Baochai the details she saw in the Ministry of Revenue, and asked Xue Baochai for three thousand taels of silver as a reward.
Daiyu took the banknote and looked at the small bottle of solvent in the warehouse. She secretly complained in her heart: This small bottle of solvent, which is neither edible nor drinkable, cost me five points. Now I ask you for three thousand taels of silver, which is not too much! What's more, I haven't asked Xue Baochai for the money for running errands!
111: Not too much, not too much. Anyone who can make the stingy host willing to spend points must be an important person in her heart!
Points balance: points. (Added later, not counting words.)
