Chapter 578: Temptation



In the palace, Wu Zhi saw Zhao Ji who was humming a minor tune and painting. "Co*Fun*Words*Love*First*Fa ()』

"Wu Zhi, you're here, come and see how I sketch it."

Seeing Wu Zhi appear, Zhao Ji hurriedly beckoned Wu Zhi to his side.

Wu Zhi did not rush to say something, but maintained self-cultivation and carefully observed Zhao Ji's sketches.

"Your Majesty's sketches are getting more and more sophisticated, and they have been perfected, and the ministers are beyond their reach."

Wu Zhi is not deliberately complimentary, just because Zhao Ji's artistic talent is indeed too high, and the level of this sketch painting has already reached the level of a master, and he has already thrown away Wu Zhi's half-baked street.

"Haha, where, where" was praised by the founder of Wuzhi Sketch, Zhao Ji was naturally overjoyed, but he still said humbly: "Although sketching can make the characters plump and vivid, the expressiveness of light is also very good." However, the color is always a bit monotonous, and I once tried to color the sketch with ink and watercolor, but as soon as I painted it, it became tasteless, and it was always unsatisfactory. ”

Wu Zhi had Zhu Mian in his heart, but he knew that Zhao Ji still had something to say, so he could only wait quietly for Zhao Ji to finish speaking.

"As long as those colors are smeared on the painting, they are only bright at the time, but once they are dried, the colors will become dull and even fade, so that no matter how good the sketch is, it will be ruined, which is really distressing" Zhao Ji rubbed his temples and asked Wu Zhi expectantly: "Aiqing, do you have a wonderful method?"

Wu Zhi said in his heart that Zhao Ji had reached the pinnacle of sketching and began to pursue a more realistic realm, and according to the process of painting in later generations, he should be able to study oil painting now.

The key to oil painting is the use of pigments, and in the Song Dynasty, most of the pigments were made of ink, and the paintings faded as soon as they dried on paper. This is not a big problem for traditional ink painting, on the contrary, it can highlight the artistic conception of ink painting, but it is not practical for realistic sketch painting.

"Your Majesty, the minister naturally has a wonderful law." Wu Zhi nodded, he didn't want to waste time on this issue, "As long as Your Majesty instructs you to go down, don't mix water when mixing the pigments, just change it to castor oil." ”

In later generations, it was precisely because of the use of castor oil to mix pigments in the West that oil painting developed proudly.

"Castor Oil Blending Pigments"

"Exactly, Your Majesty will know the effect after mixing the pigment according to this method."

"Good"

Zhao Ji nodded happily and immediately ordered someone to pass the order.

Castor oil paintings Wu Zhi tried in Qingzhou before, but because castor oil is now more precious than soybean oil, Wu Zhi only painted a few, this method has not yet been promoted, only a few people in Qingzhou Academy of Fine Arts know.

After talking about the paintings, Wu Zhi accompanied Zhao Ji to the pavilion to taste tea.

"Aiqing came this time, but it was for the Sun family's case," Zhao Ji finally asked.

Wu Zhi did not pretend to be false, and said: "Exactly, Zhu Mian led Zhu Wen and a group of accomplices to the minister's mansion this morning to surrender, and the minister also received an order from His Majesty. ”

Wu Zhi said quietly, he first wanted to test Zhao Ji's meaning.

"If it weren't for Aiqing, you handled the case effectively, I thought that Zhu Mian would not have killed his relatives so quickly, and found out his unscrupulous cousin and evil slave, I didn't expect Zhu Wen to be so cruel, and he actually did such a heinous thing behind his back, almost affecting Zhu Mian" Zhao Ji shook his head and continued to Wu Zhi: "I know Zhu Mian very well, although he is honest on the surface, he is very righteous in private, I estimate that he should have known that Zhu Wen is the real murderer behind the scenes, but he has never been able to bear to expose him. But after all, he has nothing to do with this case, and if he can finally wake up and send Zhu Wen to surrender, let's not care about his crime of covering up."

After speaking, Zhao Ji raised his teacup to Wu Zhi, just like two old friends were discussing pulling another old friend.

Wu Zhi calmly raised his glass and took a sip of tea, but he was stunned in his heart, and Wu Zhi also heard it from Zhao Ji's words, Zhao Ji had completely believed that Zhu Mian was innocent, and completely believed that Zhu Wen was the murderer behind this case, and there was undisguised tolerance and trust in Zhu Mian's words.

"Chen just thinks it's a little strange, all the evidence before pointed to Zhu Mian, and it has nothing to do with Zhu Wen, why did a Zhu Wen suddenly pop up, but the minister was a little entangled." Wu Zhi continued to probe.

"Aiqing, are you suspecting that Zhu Mian is the real murderer," Zhao Ji asked.

Wu Zhi looked into the distance and said, "The minister is just analyzing the case, Zhu Mian is indeed still suspicious." ”

"Haha Aiqing, you still don't know Zhu Mian" Zhao Ji laughed and said to Wu Zhi: "Zhu Mian is cowardly, but I have seen him fall into the water by a sparrow, how can this kind of person have the courage to harm others, and Zhu Mian has already married a family, and there are many beautiful wives and concubines in the family, so he will not do that childish thing." Before, he was suspicious, it should have been his last resort to protect his cousin Zhu Wen, but now that Zhu Wen has confessed, the human and physical evidence all point to Zhu Wen, Aiqing, don't think about it. ”

When it comes to human and physical evidence, Wu Zhi feels speechless, the main witnesses are Lei Hu's housekeeper Lao Hu and those killers, only Lao Hu identified Zhu Mian, and the rest of the people killed Lei Hu and Lei Hu insisted on Zhu Wen, and so did the housekeeper; The physical evidence made Wu Zhi's heart even more blocked, the physical evidence was the list of prostitutes drawn up by Lao Hu, but Zhu Wen and Zhu Mian were seven points similar, even if they found those prostitutes, Zhu Mian could quibble.

"yes, maybe I'm thinking too much." Wu Zhi smiled bitterly, and the tea in his mouth was also extremely bitter.

Zhao Ji also thought that Wu Zhi was working hard to handle the case, and immediately said of encouragement: "Aiqing, you are not only my confidant, but also my right-hand man, you have handled the Sun family case beautifully this time, and when the case is closed, what official position will you be promoted, just tell me, I will definitely satisfy you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, it's a fluke that the minister was able to solve this case." Wu Zhi thanked him and continued: "But after all, this is the first time that the minister has handled the case, although the murderers have been punished, but the case cannot be closed hastily, the minister implores His Majesty to allow the minister to delay for a few days before closing the case." ”

Now that Zhao Ji's attitude has been tested, he has no doubt about Zhu Mian, so Wu Zhi has to delay the case for a few days as much as possible, so that he can come up with a countermeasure.

"Okay, you can do it."

Zhao Ji did not hesitate, he also trusted Wu Zhi.
