Chapter 360 God's Will
Wang Hua said: "Everyone, look at the corpse stains on both sides of this bellyband."

Everyone soon discovered that there were obvious differences in the corpse stains on both sides of the apron. One side was large and dirty, while the other side also had it, but it was not very obvious.But everyone still didn't understand, and looked at Wang Hua with puzzled expressions.

Suddenly a scream came from behind.

They turned around together, but saw Yuxuan's little maid standing at the door, looking at them in surprise.

Of course, I don't know the situation, seeing this large group of people holding a dirty woman's bellyband and watching carefully, I must think that these people are perverted, and the little girl was knocked down by lightning.

Wang Hua walked over and covered her mouth, now is not the time to scream, it will make people panic.

Then he said: "You are here, just in time, let me tell you about the cause of your little lady's death."

Helping her to sit down, Wang Hua said again: "I was very surprised when I saw this bellyband. No matter what kind of fabric it was, it had been buried for so many days. Maybe the two sides were slightly different because of the waterproofness of the fabric, but there would be no difference. Such a big difference. So when I looked at it by moonlight, I saw this glue."

After hearing what he said, everyone noticed that although the fabric of this apron was transparent, it was covered with a layer of glue between the tiny holes of the fabric.

Wang Hua went on to say: "So I said I was wrong, which also includes this point. Although I know that the murderer murdered with a water bag, I also fell into the habit of thinking about the characteristics of the water bag, thinking that it was made of animal skin. But this For one thing, animal skins are weak in plasticity and not easily deformed. Therefore, to put a person in it, the circumference of the water bag must exceed the waist circumference of the human body, and its height must reach the waist of the human body. Such a circumference and height, Even with most of the bag filled with water, it weighs more than 200 kilograms. But in fact I was wrong. Please take a look.”

As he spoke, Wang Hua tugged on the apron vigorously, and the apron changed into various shapes under his tugging.

"Liu Yun has been thinking about the cause of her parents' death. Only when she can prove that her parents were killed by human beings from legal principles can she let her parents file a case. But she never figured it out. Later, she came to Qiufei Baiyufang. Because she is a popular girl, A customer gave some considerable tips. In order to get more information, she began to dress herself up to attract the attention of some powerful people." Speaking of this, Wang Hua felt a little sad in her heart.

During that time, she knew that many people were her enemies, but she still forced herself to sleep with them.That kind of life is probably worse than death.

Everyone was silent for a while.

After a long while, Wang Huacai said again: "Actually, Liu's family was not very well-off because of the incorruptibility of Mrs. Liu, so the brush and ink she used were very bad. For her favor, she would even take the initiative to give her some of the Four Treasures of the Study, some inks, such as the new ink I developed to help the people in Fanzheng, which used a lot of deer glue. This gave Liu Yun a sudden inspiration. If you use a special glue , What will be the result of applying some high-quality soft and stretchable silk to make a water bag?"

Hearing this, most people who talk about it already understand it.

"Of course, this kind of water bag is expensive to make, and it's not practical. But the other party's use of this water bag is not for practical use, but for killing! The number of times is not much. I have seen a few yards, Now there is a well in Baiyuyuan, but there is no well in the courtyard between Xiaheyuan and Liuyun. The water for washing is all brought from outside, and it is thrown away after use. Of course, this makes the case even more weird Get up. But don't forget, there's some potable water in every yard."

The drinking water was brought from mountain springs outside the city at a high price, and was used to make tea.Different from Li Baoer, Qiu Fei Bai Yu Fang is mainly for profit after all, so there are not many of them. Each yard has a small water tank, and the water tank in Liu Yun's yard is even smaller, and can only hold a load of water.Xiaheyuan is a little bigger, but it is generally impossible to bring as many people as Wang Hua, so it can only hold one or two hundred catties.According to Wang Hua's original statement, this is not the place to get water.

"So have you noticed that the mud and sand in Qiugui's mouth is yellow, while the mud and sand in Yuxuan's mouth is black. It is because the two courtyards are not far apart, but because Baiyuyuan is close to the river, the soil is black. Loamy soil is the main type, while Xiaheyuan is mainly yellow sandy soil. In fact, as long as there is such a water bag, as long as the human body is put in it, it will almost stick to the human body due to its elasticity, and the remaining It doesn’t take much water to fill the space below, and it’s enough to drown people! This is the hint left by Liu Yun.”

Hearing this, the mysterious cause of death of the curse has been truly revealed. According to what Wang Hua said, as long as it is possible to have a dozen catties of water, at most twenty catties of water is enough to do this.The problem of the water source was solved, and there was a loss of more than a dozen catties of water. I believe everyone would not care about it. After the victim was drowned, the water was poured somewhere casually, and no one would notice.As for the mud, get it on the spot.A weak servant girl can do it.Of course, it's not that simple, after all, a living person is stuffed into it.Just like Yuxuan still has some skills, this difficulty is not small.But I believe that Wang Hua also solved this mystery.Everyone listened intently again.

"But at this time, she only made an attempt to solve the mystery of the curse. With this alone, the murderer could not be found out, let alone brought to justice. So she continued to stay in Qiufei Baiyufang without appealing. But She also knew that she was in danger, so she experimented with the best glue, smeared it on the bellyband, and wore it to sleep every night. If one day she died suddenly, there was no way for her to solve the case without honest officials. If If honest officials investigate this case, they will inevitably open the coffin for an autopsy. Since you don’t believe in the curse, it must be someone with a mental retardation who handled it, and then it is possible to find her bellyband.”

Hearing this, everyone looked at the apron again, not feeling that it smelled bad, but respect appeared in their eyes.

Wang Hua opened the picture again, it was a very ordinary picture, and the poem was exactly the ancient poem written by Ruan Ji that Bai Ting said.There is a drunken scholar in the painting, wantonly giving birth, there are two stones, and a clump of black bamboo.

Very ordinary paintings, very ordinary poems, and even the words are written down meticulously.

They couldn't see any clues. Of course, Liu Yun, a smart girl, had been thinking hard for so long and couldn't figure out the clues. Besides, they could see the clues immediately.

Wang Hua said again: "I thought of Xuan paper."

This jumping topic made everyone confused again.

Of course, now Xuan paper has started to gain a little reputation, but it is not as famous as later generations, let alone hemp paper from Yizhou, not even the bamboo paper invented by Wang Hua.But hear some.

"Nowadays people mostly use silk for painting, because there is no good paper. But if you want good paper, you have to use rice paper, or the best bamboo paper, but the current craftsmanship is not good. Rice paper is divided into raw Xuan, cooked Xuan and half-cooked Xuan. Raw Xuan has strong water absorption and is easy to produce rich ink rhyme changes, suitable for freehand landscape painting. Cooked Xuan is processed with alum water, the ink is not easy to penetrate, can be used for detailed depiction, repeated rendering and coloring, suitable for painting blue and green Heavy-color fine brushwork landscape. But familiar Xuan is easy to master, but lack of brush power will make the picture smooth and dull. Raw Xuan has a lot of ink, which can penetrate quickly, and it is more difficult to master without basic skills. Therefore, it is best to spend half your life if you are not a master of painting. cooked rice paper."

Although I don't know the intention of Wang Hua's words, but as the most famous talent in the world, he is best at calligraphy, painting, and piano, and he likes to innovate, so he is most qualified to draw this conclusion.

Of course, after these words spread, the status of Xuan Paper will also increase a hundredfold.But it may also cause headaches for the masters of papermaking in the south of the Yangtze River, Anhui and Anhui.What is raw and half cooked, there is no such thing now!
"This is about the method of ink transportation. The first is the dry ink painting method, also known as the dry ink brush. Generally, thick ink dry brushes are used to outline the contours of figures and the chapping of mountains and rocks. According to the structure, light and shade of the shape, positive, Side, smooth, reverse and other strokes can obtain clear handwriting. Especially when painting mountains and rocks, with dry ink, you can draw mochi, raindrops, cirrus clouds, Jiesuo, ox hair, folded, big Ax chopping, small ax chopping, etc. The second is the wet brush painting method, which uses more water to infiltrate the ink, and there are various changes. Generally, when using this ink method, use a clean wet tip to dip the ink, so that it goes from thick to thick to the root of the brush. Light seepage, and then use the side edge to lay down the pen, and use the thickness of the ink to express the shape, texture, brushwork, and ink rhyme. The third is the accumulation of ink painting method, using different ink colors to overlap over and over again, which can be light at first and then thick. It can also be thick first and then light, but there is one thing to pay attention to. There is no special need. You must wait until the previous ink has dried before adding it. This kind of painting is rich in layers and vigorous. The fourth is the splash ink painting method. It doesn’t mean pouring ink onto the paper. It’s about dipping a large amount of water and ink with a large brush, and it’s done in one go, pursuing the charm of the natural flow of ink beyond the brushwork. But there’s one thing, meticulous painting, small freehand brushwork or line drawing, burnt ink painting, etc. This method of splashing ink cannot be used. These are the four most commonly used methods of transporting ink, and finally there is a method of breaking ink, which is to draw thick ink first, and then use light ink and pigment to penetrate; or draw light ink and pigment first, and then Penetrate with thick ink. The effect is fresh and vivid, with special interest."

Wang Hua's eloquent talk has greatly benefited many people who like painting.In fact, some of the methods of using ink mentioned by Wang Hua have not yet appeared, or they cannot be used skillfully.

But Wang Hua said: "But there is a special method in this method. If glue and alum are added to paint, white spots will appear, which is most suitable for depicting snow and water traces."

"Of course, alum water has other uses. Brushing alum water and mica on the paper in an appropriate ratio can make the painting effect better. Or write black and white characters, use glue alum water to write, instead use ink to paint It is more effective than writing hollow folded characters. There are also tricks of playing tricks, which are also effective. For example, there is no way to write on ordinary oil paper, and you can use acacia (the history of soap can be traced back to ancient Rome, but it appeared in ancient China Most of them use alkali to wash clothes, and also use acacia, which is the ancestor of soap) and ink together to write on oil paper. You can also use this method to draw flowers on candles. Or grind scutellaria to write on paper. If the water sinks the paper, the calligraphy and painting will come off the paper and float on the surface of the water. Or use alum water to write and dry it, and pour it with Wuzi decoction, and the blank paper will become black characters."

Hearing this, everyone was eager to try to see if what Wang Hua said was true, while Mu Zili pursed his lips and laughed. Wang Hua's book contained more weird and deceptive methods.Some are even more incredible.

But when I heard this faintly, I felt that it had something to do with the alum water.

Sure enough, when Wang Hua came to this point, he pointed to the screen and said: "Everyone knows that Liu Yun is very proficient in poetry and painting. But I didn't expect that Liu Zhubo is even a master among them. The disappointment with the officialdom these years, most of the time he Focus on writing and painting. Therefore, there are some studies, and some methods of using alum water in painting have also been discovered. For example, this painting."

Having said that, he poured tea on it, but a miracle happened, and a line of blurred words appeared on the screen:
Yun'er, if I see this word, I am afraid that I will be harmed.Three feet below the spirit tablet of the old house, there is a square object, which is the cause of my harm.However, it cannot be opened without support.

Li Chongjun said in surprise: "Scholar Wang, then we will dig this thing out immediately."

"His Royal Highness, take care of yourself. I have already got this thing. Please listen to me."

But the other little girl, Ai'er, has opened her eyes wide in surprise, His Royal Highness?She could barely react.

"Before he was alive, Liu Zhubo made some obscure hints that this kind of alum-water writing will not show any traces after it dries. However, it will be obvious when exposed to water. Of course, the effect is not obvious. It is best to bake it with fire to make the writing more perfect." Clear. However, it is possible that Miss Liu Yun neglected this hint. So she has not infiltrated this secret. Of course, it is more difficult for others to infiltrate this secret. But I did not expect that after her death, perhaps in the dark, there will be retribution. Not only Her body suppressed the painting, and because her body began to rot, the water soaked into the painting. When I opened the picture, I saw this line of words by moonlight." But Wang Hua carried it back to the city , the scroll began to dry out, so the writing disappeared again.However, if the water is splashed many times in this way, the handwriting may really disappear, but Wang Hua did not explain it.He also said: "Although the above description is not complete, the case can be filed. And the officials who participated in the case far exceeded our imagination. So I borrowed your name and took your seal, Let Huang Si's guards rush to Weizhou to dispatch troops."

Huazhou's officialdom is corrupt as a whole. With Wang Hua, Huazhou's power is too weak now, so they have to deploy troops in other places.It just so happened that Weizhou was also within the scope of the Seventeen States, but only Li Chongjun was qualified to transfer troops.There are also officials in Weizhou, which are not in the same faction as officials in Huazhou.This is a secret, Wang Hua will not reveal it like Li Chongjun.

Of course, the biggest advantage is that deploying troops in the name of Li Chongjun is equivalent to giving the greatest credit to Li Chongjun.

Speaking of which, Wang Hua returned the seal to Li Chongjun, and said: "His Royal Highness, the most important thing is, please forgive me."

"Where, where," Li Chongjun was already rubbing his hands happily.The credit is too great, not only uncovered a bizarre unjust case, but also cracked a shocking case, and also has a reason to seize and confiscate a large amount of grain from Huazhou Chenggong, which will play an important role in stabilizing the current bad grain price .It never occurred to him to blame Wang Hua for stealing his seal.

Now he wants to hug Wang Hua to express his gratitude to him.

Wang Hua said again: "Now we have one more thing to do, to startle the snakes, and then follow the snakes to see where their snake dens are." Then he made some arrangements.Then he said to Aier: "The army will come to Huazhou tomorrow, so we all have to pay attention to our safety today, especially you, it's best to follow us and don't run around. If someone asks you, what do you say? do not know."

Elle nodded.

Now she has understood that the two young people in front of her are Wang Hua of Gong County and Prince Li Chongjun, they are like heaven.

But if he is not a person like the sky, how can this bizarre case be solved?

Then Wang Hua turned to Bai Ting and said: "Miss Bai Ting, I have read your information long before coming to Huazhou. The information says that you have a pitiful background." How pitiful, Wang Hua did not reveal this scar, and said : "But you are kind and gentle, you are a good girl, and you are also versatile."

"Don't dare," Bai Ting replied uneasily.

"Girls don't have to be humble. Knowing that all your property is gone and never returned, you are still helping your good sister. This is a matter of love and righteousness. Seeing that I have given you a thousand coins and not being tempted, it is a matter of integrity. If In this way, she is not considered a good girl. I don’t know what a good girl is. But what I want to say is another thing. Once this case is over, I will stay in Huazhou for a while. But where will the girl go? I have an arrangement here. After this incident, I want to run a shop of the Four Treasures of the Study. If the girl does not dislike it, I will redeem the girl and take care of me. Will the girl be willing?"

The shop Wang Hua mentioned, with the financial resources in Wang Hua's hands, is far more than a simple shop.And following Wang Hua to do things, the carp also jumped to the dragon gate.Although Wang Hua's statement is similar to what he said to Yuxuan last night, it also eliminates the possibility of Bai Ting becoming his concubine.This inevitably made Bai Ting a little disappointed.

But different from Yuxuan, Wang Hua directly gave her a property management, and also managed the Four Treasures of the Study, which is not other industries, it can be said that it is one of the most elegant industries now.Coupled with Wang Hua's good reputation, it has become very easy to find a good family in the future.

Bai Tingpu leaned down and gave a salute, saying thank you repeatedly.

Wang Hua pulled her into his arms and said, "You don't have to, if you say thank you, I would also like to thank you. This time the truth of the case is revealed, and you have contributed a lot."

"The slaves didn't do their best."

"That's wrong. If it wasn't for your great help, covering up for us in the middle, and providing some useful information. I won't make progress so fast." Speaking of this, he looked at Ai'er again and said: "Ai'er Miss, if I also redeem you and help Miss Bai Ting in the future, it happens that you have similar backgrounds and have a caretaker, would you like it?"

Ai'er was overjoyed and immediately agreed.

"But tonight, can you do me another favor? But I will keep you safe."

"Slaves should obey their orders," the two replied in unison.What they fear most are ghosts and gods. Knowing that it is man-made, they are no longer afraid. Even if the governor of Huazhou is here, is he as high as Li Chongjun?Even Wang Hua's status is not as good as that of a marquis despite his official position.

Wang Hua made some arrangements again.

At this time, a guard came up to report that the arresters were in the front room and asked to see them.

Wang Hua and Li Chongjun went downstairs to the wing.It was still yesterday's arrest. He pointed to the two corpses and said: "You two gentlemen, I also know that there have been three murders happening around you, and it has nothing to do with you. But there are too many dead people. Please leave the slide immediately now." State."
