Chapter 370: Epistolary Secrets
Wang Heng stopped playing the flute and stood up.
He went back to the room and changed his clothes, took another box, and Siyu held an umbrella and accompanied him to the study.
The person who came was Zhou Chang, and when he saw him, he smiled and said, "Cousin, what is the matter with inviting the younger brother to come?" But the case is over, and you are here to find the younger brother to drink?"
Wang Heng said: "It's not easy to drink. ”
As he spoke, he sat down across from him and placed the box on top of the table.
Zhou Chang asked, "What is this?"
Wang Heng said: "There is something, I want to ask the virtuous brother to identify it." As he spoke, he opened the box and took out a few pieces of paper. Two of them are very complete, with poems recorded on them, and the last one can only be counted as a note, which has been cut from elsewhere.
The note was cut out from the letter Xin'er had left to Wang Heng; the "Lotus Picking Song" on one copybook was copied by Xin'er before; and the other was found in Meng Qingquan's room and was written by Meng Qingquan himself.
Wang Heng put the note in the middle, and put the handwriting of Xin'er and Meng Qingquan on both sides, and said to Zhou Chang: "Please identify these three handwritings." ”
Seeing that he was solemn, Zhou Chang also sat up straight, leaned over to take a closer look, and said, "Light the lamp." Does my cousin have a magnifying glass? ”
Since the popularization of telescopes in the army, magnifying glasses have also been developed, and they are commonly used in the identification of jewelry, calligraphy and painting, and the Wang family will certainly not lack it.
Wang Heng said: "There is a magnifying glass. As he got up, he ordered the lamp to be lit.
Everything was prepared, and Zhou Changcai carefully inspected it.
A quarter of an hour later, he said to Wang Heng: "The words on this note are exactly the same as this "Lotus Picking Song", but the younger brother thinks that the two are not from the same person's hand. The words on this note should be imitation handwriting. ”
Wang Heng asked excitedly: "How can you see it? Even I don't see it, and you say the same thing, how can you say that it is an imitation?"
Zhou Chang explained: "The pen moves differently. Although this handwriting is almost chaotic, the younger brother always feels that this front trend is a little strange and strange!" After saying that, he used a magnifying glass to observe, and still affirmed: "It's an imitation." ”
Wang Heng pushed Meng Qingquan's note in front of him again and asked, "What about this, but this note is from the same person?"
Zhou Chang shook his head and said, "No." ”
Wang Heng said: "Are you sure?"
Zhou Chang said: "I'm sure." ”
Wang Heng was puzzled: "Take a closer look." ”
Zhou Changqi said: "What is there to see here, you can see it at a glance, it is clearly written by two people, and there is nothing in common." ”
Wang Heng naturally knew.
Although he is not as appreciative as Zhou Chang, he is not a layman, and the two kinds of handwriting are irrelevant to make him puzzled, so he asked Zhou Chang to help.
He concluded that Meng Qingquan had exchanged the letter between him and Xin'er, and now Zhou Chang also said that the letter left by Xin'er was fake, but why was the fake letter different from Meng Qingquan's handwriting?
Could it be that this fake letter was not written by Meng Qingquan, but by Wu?
Wang Heng immediately dismissed the idea.
Wu didn't have that calligraphy skills.
Or is it imitated by Wu Fan?
Wang Heng also rejected this idea.
At that time, he and Xin'er sent messages through Moyun every day, if the person who made the fake was not in the Wang family, how could they have time to forge it and replace it quickly?
Wang Heng was deeply confused.
He said to Zhou Chang: "This matter is very important to my brother. By the way, please go back and talk to the old lady, and I will come to the door to ask his old man for advice another day. ”
He had a vague idea.
However, it is necessary to confirm it further.
Zhou Chang saw that he didn't believe his judgment, and he didn't get angry, so he said cheerfully: "Don't worry, cousin, the younger brother will go back and tell my grandfather." When is my cousin going?"
Wang Heng said: "Tomorrow." Tomorrow evening. ”
The two agreed on a time, and Wang Heng put away the things again before saying goodbye.
Zhou Chang saw that he did not let himself take it back, and that he wanted to come to the door to ask for advice in person, so he knew that the matter was very important, and Wang Heng told him not to say anything to the outside world, and he was more cautious.
Zhou Chang had dinner at Wang's house before leaving.
The next day, Wang Heng took these words and papers, and last week's family asked Mrs. Zhou to identify, but Mrs. Zhou's identification results were the same as Zhou Chang's.
Seeing Wang Heng's disappointment, Zhou Chang comforted: "Cousin, don't be discouraged, the younger brother always thinks that this imitation handwriting is a bit special, let me think about it." ”
Wang Heng said: "In this way, there is Lao Shunzhi." ”
Mrs. Zhou suddenly said: "This is written with the left hand!"
Wang Heng was overjoyed and said: "The juniors also guessed like this!"
Zhou Chang suddenly said: "I just said it's strange, it turns out to be like this." Of course, there is a difference between what is written by a left-handed person and a right-handed person, and it is not that connoisseurs can't find it at all. ”
Wang Heng asked, "Master Zhou, if she also imitates other people's handwriting, and the font is different from this, the master may identify that it is from the same person's hand?"
Mrs. Zhou said proudly: "Of course you can!"
He also pointed to Zhou Chang and said: "Shun can also do it!"
Wang Heng smiled: "In this way, the juniors thank you first." ”
Zhou Chang hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
Wang Heng said: "I can't say clearly for the time being, but if my speculation is good, there will be a time when the tired master will come forward in the future." I hope to keep it a secret. ”
Mrs. Zhou was a typical Confucian disciple, and he hated villains with unscrupulous intentions the most in his life, because he said: "Since you say this, this matter must be related to a certain case? Don't worry, the old man will definitely help you! The sages wrote books and established schools in the hope that future generations would cultivate themselves, educate the people, and promote righteousness, and not let traitors do evil things. Although this person's calligraphy is wonderful, he doesn't need to be on the right path, and the old man can't tolerate it!"
Wang Heng hurriedly thanked him again and again, and then left satisfied.
He was busy for several days.
The piracy case was widely implicated and the aftermath was a heavy one, but he was still very concerned about the movements of the imperial court. On this day, as soon as he entered the door, the little servant next to his father replied: "Uncle, the master is in the study, and I will go to see him when I call the uncle back." ”
Wang Heng said: "Got it." ”
So I went to the outer study.
In the study, Wang Zhengzheng was talking with his cronies Miao Zhenghong, and when he saw Wang Heng coming in, Miao Zhenghong hurriedly stood up with his hands down and said, "Uncle is back." ”
Wang Heng nodded and said hello to his father.
Wang Ji motioned for him to sit, and when he sat down, he said: "Today, Prime Minister Zuo suggested that the emperor: send someone to expand the official road west of the capital to Fengzhou, Lingyun Pass, and Xuanwu Pass in the northwest. It is said that this road is related to the transportation of military supplies, and it must be strengthened and widened in order to facilitate the control of the situation in the northwestern frontier. ”
Wang Heng said: "It's really arrogant!"
It's a long way!
I am afraid that it will not be built well in more than ten years.
At the moment, it is just a gimmick, and if you really want to implement it, at most you will build one of the sections, as long as one section is repaired, the others will be taken slowly.
Wang admonished: "He is targeting Liang Xinming. ”
Wang Heng nodded and said, "My son understands." ”
The project is both easy and difficult.
Easy, because this road already exists, the so-called widening and reinforcement is a vague statement, as long as the person in charge of the project makes a little achievement, it is considered a great credit. It is difficult, because this road to the northwest frontier passes through countless mountains and dangerous passes, and it is not easy to widen and reinforce, let alone do a good job.
He asked, "The emperor agreed?"
Wang admonished: "It is a matter of military affairs, and the emperor agreed." ”
Wang Heng asked again, "Who to send?"
