"It's fine." Deputy Director Wang saw that Helan and Li Ning were safe and sound, and his hanging heart immediately let go.
It seems that the problem of the charter city is indeed quite serious, and I thought that after the most important ones have been caught, there should be no major problems, but I did not expect that there would be a kidnapping of the members of the working group.
This only shows that the task of the Working Group in the charter city is still relatively heavy, and the security of staff is also very important.
Deputy Director Wang talked with Lin Xiao for a while, exchanged future work issues, and then talked about the issue of letting the municipal police department also participate in the daily security work.
"Lin Jianyun can use it, but he has to use it carefully, and he can't be directly involved in more important things." Lin Xiao recommended Lin Jianyun, the acting director of the Municipal Bureau, to Deputy Director Wang, but instructed, "After all, he is a local, and it is difficult to say that he has no intersection with various forces, but considering that his level was not high at that time, it is estimated that the problem is not big, and after careful investigation, it can be used." β
"Understood." Deputy Director Wang nodded, understanding what Lin Xiao meant.
Actually, as in. Period. A deputy director of the supervision office of the committee, deputy director Wang, is just a deputy department-level cadre who enjoys the treatment of the main department and bureau, and the level of Lin Xiao is not much different, but in terms of age, it is not at the same level at all.
One of the most critical issues is the strong background behind Lin Xiao, which cannot but be paid special attention to by Deputy Director Wang, so he still attaches great importance to some of Lin Xiao's opinions.
The two exchanged for a while, and then they took a break.
Early the next morning, Lin Xiao began to pack his bags, and after dealing with these odd things, he went back to Beijing.
By the way, he cared about Helan and Li Ning to see if they had fully recovered.
"We're going to go to the Forest of Steles to rub the inscriptions." After Helan saw Lin Xiao, she said to him.
"What kind of inscription is it that interests you so much?" When Lin Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.
The old stone monument is found everywhere in the country, and it can't be said that it is very interesting, but looking at Helan's attitude, it seems that he has picked up a treasure, which is a bit suspicious.
"It's a secret." Li Ning said next to him.
Lin Xiao was a little puzzled, but he said, "Since you are so interested, then I'll accompany you on a trip, anyway, I don't have much to deal with now." β
So the three of them took the tools and went directly to the stele forest outside the village.
The sun in the morning was still good, and the temperature in the air was not very low, at least it did not drop below freezing, such a temperature, but it was possible to rub the inscription, they took a large bag, which contained rice paper, brushes, cotton balls wrapped in silk, ink, baiji water and water, and so on.
"Baiqi water, this is considered a Chinese medicinal material." Lin Xiao looked at the white water contained in the big cola bottle and said to the two women.
"This thing is homemade, and the method is very simple, but for rubbing inscriptions, it is the only material that can be used, and it cannot be replaced by other liquids." Helan explained.
Lin Xiao nodded, he knew that the use of baiqi was still quite large, medicine was one thing, and the most important thing was its other functions, such as rubbing, for example, it could also be used in handicrafts such as mold making and casting.
After they went to the stele forest, Lin Xiao noticed that the number of steles here is indeed quite a lot, some large and some small, one of the larger steles is almost more than three meters high, plus the base of the stele, it is almost four meters high, surrounded by stone beasts and moire and other decorations, it looks high-end and high-grade, but the edges are a little worn, which affects the overall beauty.
Some other stone tablets, the small ones are only more than one meter high, the big ones are about two meters, there are dozens of them, and the words on them are also very different, some are subordinate, and some can't say what the font is, more like calligraphy works with a strong personal style.
The first thing Helan aimed at was the relatively large stone monument, it is said that such a tall stone monument, a few of them could not reach the top without the help of tools, but the people in the village may have built a shed above the large stone monument for the purpose of protection, covering it, and the stepped wooden railing around it made it convenient for them to go up and down.
"How do you do this?" Lin Xiao asked.
"First of all, you have to wash the stele with clean water." Helan said, "You see, the stone monument is full of lime and some dust now, and these things will affect our work. β
Lin Xiao answered, and then carried a bucket to wash the stele, and then according to Helan's request, the entire stele was carefully brushed with white water.
The next step is to lay the paper, he spread the special rice paper brought by Helan and the others on the stone tablet.
At this time, the effect of the rice paper to be written is the best, but the flexibility of the rice paper is poor, and it is required to be careful when rubbing, and spend effort to work slowly and carefully
Lin Xiao first spread the rice paper roughly on the surface of the stele, which is considered a rough spread of rice paper, if the rough paving is not good, it will affect the fine paving behind, which will directly affect the final effect of the entire rubbing work.
"Give you this brush, be careful, spread the rice paper evenly." Helan threw a brown-bristled brush to Lin Xiao.
"Oh." Lin Xiao was quite interested in this matter, he took it and looked at it, this is a special brown hair tuozi, and it is also a tool that must be used when laying rice paper, which can evenly spread the rice paper on the surface of the tablet to ensure that every word can be extended, which is also a very critical step, if the paper is damaged, it will be considered a waste of work.
Then Lin Xiao began to rub the inscription, that is, to use ink to expand the inscription.
He used two large and one small tuozi made of cotton, alternately, first dipping the small tuozi in ink, and then passing the ink on the large tuozi, so as to avoid too much ink and scattered ink on the rice paper, so that the rubbing failed.
This amount of work is actually not small, especially this stone tablet is quite large, after Lin Xiao went through it carefully, it actually took almost an hour, making him sweat profusely.
"It's not easy, it's also a technical job!" After Lin Xiao finished it, he said with some emotion.
"You're doing a pretty good job, if you change us, it's estimated that you'll have to be busy all morning, and you may not be able to get it right." Helan praised him below.
Lin Xiao jumped down from it, and then waited for the rice paper to dry.
At this time, the rice paper is still on the stele, and it will be removed until it is almost dry, so it will be more stable, and if you act in advance, it is estimated that the rice paper will be broken.
Fortunately, the sun was good today, and Lin Xiao used his true qi to pass it a little again, but after waiting for more than ten minutes, the rice paper was almost dry, and there was only a little bit of moisture.
He carefully took the rice paper from above, and then spread it on a nearby wooden shelf to let the wind dry.
"It's really good!" Lin Xiao took a look at it, and couldn't help but praise himself.
The rice paper dried quickly, and at this time, Helan and Li Ning also started to rub several other smaller stone tablets, and after everyone got them down, a total of more than a dozen works were rubbed throughout the morning.
At this time, Helan said the reason, "I have heard about this stele forest before, this is the hometown of a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, although he is not a very influential figure, but he has made great achievements in the study of ancient literature, it just so happens that my father is more interested in this aspect of things, so after rubbing it down, I will give it to him to go back to study, I guess the old man will be more happy." β
"Oh, I see." Lin Xiao listened, and then he understood.
However, after he read these inscriptions, he also felt that from the perspective of the text image, there is indeed merit, as for what the content is, there is no punctuation in the middle, and it is indeed head-scratching after reading.
Lin Xiao really didn't have much interest in these things, so naturally he didn't care too much.
"I prefer this one, the font is more ......elegant," Li Ning said, pointing to one of the rubbed works.
Lin Xiao looked at it and found that it was a line of grass, the handwriting in it was clear, the writing was elegant, and it looked really refreshing and admirable.
"If you like it, you can expand it again, it's not a big deal." Lin Xiao said, he was very diligent, and immediately took the tool and printed another one for Li Ningtuo.
When they were done, it was time for lunch, and the three of them rolled up a large stack of rice paper and went back to the village.
When I got back, I saw that it was busy.
When Deputy Director Wang saw Lin Xiao, he said to him, "Lin Jianyun from the Municipal Bureau has already come and sent 20 policemen to take care of the security work of the working group, and Mayor Xu has also called to express condolences. β
Lin Xiao nodded, knowing that there had been a kidnapping incident against the members of the working group here, and there must have been some restlessness in the charter city, it was natural that they were concerned about the affairs here.
"This time, the city bureau dispatched urgently, swept several fields, and arrested more than 100 people." Deputy Director Wang said, "These are all Tian Wuji's subordinates, and they all have some cases on their bodies to a greater or lesser extent. β
"In the past, we didn't pay attention to them, but now that we have gradually taken the initiative, we naturally have to deal with some people harshly. Besides, these people did not play a good role in the charter city. Lin Xiao replied.
"However, Secretary Cai of Charter City seems to be a little anxious, he was originally going to see you, but he couldn't be contacted, I heard that he has now rushed to the provincial capital." Deputy Director Wang said again.
"Went to the provincial capital?" When Lin Xiao heard this, he immediately smiled, and said in his heart that this secretary Cai Mingming obviously went to the province to move rescue soldiers.
