Chapter 24 The Dust Falls
　The thin barrel of the pen hangs over the paper, and the person holding the pen feels nothing but the force of the pen tip pressing on the paper.

He bit the bullet and wrote the character 'Yong', but the written characters looked like they had been blown by a strong wind or dug out with chicken feet, and he couldn't stand it anymore.

Lin Qing'er on the side praised: "At least the strokes are not wrong, and others will recognize them..." Today she sent him the Four Treasures of the Study as promised, and began to teach him to write calligraphy.

Old Wang Xian blushed and said, "It feels like this brush is as light as nothing, and it weighs more than Mount Tai..."

"It's inevitable, because you have never written with a brush before." Lin Qing'er's smile can make people feel peaceful: "Let's start with holding the brush first." He said and took out another brush from the pen holder He held it in his hand and explained to Wang Xian: "For beginners to practice block script, the pen should be held lower, and the fingers should be one inch away from the tip of the pen, so that the strokes are more stable. If the pen is held high, the changes will be great, and regular script is not easy to master."

Wang Xian nodded, he squeezed two inches just now, and quickly lost one inch.

"There is also the tightness of the pen. If it is too tight, the hand will tremble, and if it is too loose, you will not be able to exert force. If you hold the pen too tightly, you should relax." Lin Qing'er said: "But it is not without force. There is a saying that 'the force is at the tip of the pen. ’, but with ingenuity rather than deadly force, and you have to transfer the force to the nib so that you can move the pen freely.”

This is easy to understand, hard pen characters are easier to write than soft pen characters, and this is the place.Wang Xian nodded and asked, "How can you put your strength on the tip of the pen?"

"Although it is called ingenuity, it is the most incapable of trickery. It can only come from long-term practice. If you practice diligently, after a long time, you will be able to write freely, and you will pass the test of writing." Lin Qinger glanced at Wang Xian's hand Said: "Then there is fingering. The trick is to use the method of 'pressing, pressing, hooking, pushing, and pressing' to hold the pen firmly, so that the five fingers can perform their duties..."

Lin Qing'er demonstrated in detail how each finger exerts force and how to cooperate with the correct pen-holding posture.

Wang Xian followed what she said and studied very seriously, but he was so unfamiliar that he couldn't get the point.

Seeing that he couldn't hold it well, Lin Qing'er had no choice but to hold back her shame and help him adjust her hands. Although she was very careful, her slender fingers still inevitably touched Wang Xian's. .

With every light touch, Lin Qing'er's heart trembled, and her jade face was burned with shame and an inexplicable and unexplainable feeling, and she called the silver bell that came in to deliver water, which was very strange: "Sister Lin , are you hot?"

"Ah, yes, it's a little hot..." Lin Qing'er withdrew her hand like a thief, and stuttered, "I'm so anxious..."

"Hey, drink some tea to reduce the fire." Yinling looked at her sympathetically and said, "My brother has been very stupid in everything since elementary school."

"Your brother is already very smart..." Lin Qing'er took the teacup and whispered, "It's just a delay in the early years." She asked Yinling, "Do you have any eggs at home?"

"What, are you hungry?" Yinling asked, "I'll cook two for you."

"It's not for food, it's for your brother to practice calligraphy." Lin Qing'er couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry.

"Oh." Yinling quickly went to fetch one, Lin Qing'er let Wang Xian hold it in her hand and said, "Practice like this for a while, until you realize that your fingers are solid and your palms are weak."

"Yeah." Wang Xian nodded, and followed Lin Qing'er's instructions, and practiced step by step.

.

From this day on, Wang Xian practiced diligently.He is not a genius, and he started late, so he can only work harder.Where is the paper that Lin Qing'er brought enough?Wang Xian originally planned to learn from Fan Zhongyan and dipped in water to practice calligraphy on the slate, but after being seen by his elder brother, he complained that he didn't say it earlier.

There is a saying that "Fuyang paper is the number one scholar in Kyoto, and ten yuan books are admitted to Jinshi". Fuyang is a well-known hometown of papermaking. Wang Gui even works in a papermaking workshop. Every day when he goes home, he will bring him some paper that the workshop does not use.The quality of these papers is actually good, but they are damaged, wrinkled, or not cut neatly, but there is no problem at all for practicing calligraphy.

Just like this day after day, seeing his handwriting improving bit by bit, Wang Xian even fell in love with practicing handwriting, and couldn't help but secretly scolded himself for being abnormal.

In the meantime, Lin Qing'er would come to visit every now and then, comment on his work, and then teach him further brushwork... Although she would blush every time, it did not affect her teaching again.

When she came over early that day, Wang Xianzheng finished copying a piece of calligraphy, picked it up and smiled at her, "I feel a little better today."

"I won't write today," Lin Qing'er covered her chest with her small hands, panting and said, "Go to the county government quickly, the cold face is coming!"

"Okay." Wang Xian put down his pen, put on a shirt indiscriminately, and went out with Lin Qing'er.He can already walk without crutches, but not too fast.

"I'll go too, I'll go too." Yin Ling left the work in hand and followed the two into the street.

On the street, common people also heard the news, rushing in one direction to watch the excitement.When the three of them came to the county government office, they found that the gate had long been blocked.

Fortunately, many people knew Wang Xian and Lin Qing'er, and said one after another: "Give way, the sufferer is coming!" All the people made a way out and let the three of them squeeze to the gate.

Through the gate, Wang Xian saw that standing in front of the yamen was no longer Zaoli, but two rows of inspectors armed with long guns, wearing red felt hats, blue straight bodies, white socks and black shoes.In the courtyard, there are also two rows of Jinyi guards officers and soldiers wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives on their waists!

Looking in, I saw three high-ranking officials in scarlet official uniforms sitting in the lobby. I don't know which one is cold-faced and iron-cold?
But Zhou Xin was indeed among the three.After reporting the case, Zhou Xin did not wait for the court to reply, but called out the files from the beginning of the case, reviewed it carefully from the beginning, and soon found several loopholes.

The first is the bloody coat as physical evidence.From the physical point of view, the warp and weft of the blood clothes are complete, without any signs of retting.However, judging from the case files, it has been buried underground for nearly a year when it was discovered. It is rainy and humid in the south of the Yangtze River, and the blood clothes are buried very shallowly.

Moreover, if according to the case file, the deceased died of a head injury, the blood on the bloody coat should be from top to bottom, but what Zhou Xin saw was from bottom to top, which made him believe what Lin Qinger said Yes, the evidence was forced to be forged...

At this time, the police sent by Zhou Xin also arrested a human trafficker named Chen San from Jiading.The man confessed that he sold a kidnapped woman to He Chang three years ago.According to the confession of the traffickers, Zhou Xin went to Yangzhou Prefecture to write a document. Sure enough, there was a case of missing persons three years ago. The missing woman was called Zhang Linghua!
Zhou Xin put these solid evidences into Weizhi County's report, and finally finalized all the facts of the case.At this time, the order of the imperial court to retry the case came down.Emperor Yongle was furious about the case, and sent Gao Duo, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, and Qianhu, a Jinyi guard, to try it.

When the court came, the facts of the case presented to them were clear and complete, and the evidence was conclusive, so there was no need to spend time to solve the case... This made Gao Shilang and the Qianhu very happy, so they made a decision to drive to Fuyang for a trial of the case !

After being promoted, Gao Shilang summoned all the criminals, witnesses and parties in turn.The people outside couldn't hear clearly through the fence, they only saw the sound of gavels coming from the lobby from time to time, and heard the chief judge's stern reprimands endlessly!
The interrogation begins at Mao hour and ends at Chen hour.At noon, several guards and envoy soldiers came out with a seven-rank experience, and posted a trial statement covered by the imperial envoy's defense.There is Li Guan, the official of the county's punishment room, who read loudly for the people:
"The case of Lin Rongxing's murder of his wife in Fuyang County was found to be a false accusation. Lin Sheng was falsely imprisoned, suffered torture, and was wronged innocently. He was released and returned home immediately! Chen Rubai, the former county magistrate, enforced the law impartially, was honest and upright, and taking bribes was a misjudgment; The official Wang Xingye was a law-abiding official and a good official. He was tortured and wronged for several years, and he was released home immediately. Although the original author Zhou Xiyong made a mistake, he did not cover it up. He was sentenced to death. After the above personnel are reported to the Ming court, there will be another compensation for Yourong!"

"The Fuyang county residents Zhao Yan and Zhao Dayou conspired to cheat, falsely accuse the good people, frame the county magistrate, planned to beheaded according to the law, and executed after the fall. He Chang, the Fuyang county citizen who was tried, plundered and sold women, raped and murdered, The dead body was wiped out! To cover up the crime, to instigate framing, and to be cast into an unjust prison, the crime is extremely heinous. Although there is no redemption for death, the punishment of Ling Chi is planned! The Zhao family fled privately, committed adultery, broke the moral order, and planned to be sent to Jiaofang as a slave! The member Hu Sancai was greedy for money, accepted bribes and perjured evidence, and had bad conduct. After he was dismissed from his studies, he planned to be punished for forty years! , Attempted murder, sentenced to prison! County magistrates Xu Shan and Zhao Er broke the law for corruption, tipped off the news, and planned to exile two thousand miles with a hundred sticks!"

Hearing the verdict, the people applauded in unison, cheering for the fair trial of this strange case that has been dragging on for many years.Lin Qing'er covered her mouth with a ropa, holding back her tears.Wang Xian, on the other hand, said, "The injustice is over, but no one can go back to the past..."

In fact, Wang Xian is lamenting his fate, he is completely the current self, and he will never go back to the past.

However, Lin Qing'er thought that her family was ruined, and even if she was rehabilitated, she would not be able to return to her father who died with hatred.Finally couldn't help leaning against the gate, tears burst down the embankment.

Yin Ling on the side gave Wang Xian a hard twist, staring and said: "Why don't you coax him?"

Wang Xian also realized that he had accidentally injured himself, so he reached out his hand hesitantly, patted Lin Qinger's shoulder lightly, and said in a low voice, "Ziyun, I didn't mean it..."

'Pfft...' Lin Qing'er was crying sadly, but she was teased by him again, and she was neither laughing nor crying, she was so angry that she punched Wang Xian twice.

Wang Xian pretended to be injured, took two steps back, and smiled at Lin Qing'er: "I'm going back to practice calligraphy, Miss Lin will also go home early, tell your mother the good news."

Looking at the leaving figures of the two brothers and sisters, Lin Qing'er's eyes were dim, and finally a flash of firmness flashed, and she quickly chased after her and said, "Wang Er...brother, I have something to tell you."

Wang Xian turned around and said with a smile, "What's the matter, Sister Lin?"

"I..." Lin Qing'er blushed again, unable to speak in embarrassment.
