Don't Forget Everything

After Song Yilin left in the afternoon, Wen Ran was alone and completely lost the intention of setting up a calligraphy stall. After sitting in the courtyard for a while, he felt restless in his heart, and began to tidy up the house.

He wanted to help Song Yilin, but there was nothing he could do.

From time to time, Wen Ran's eyes fell on the red satin gilt invitation card on the table, who invited him?Why should he be invited?What does it have to do with the Xuzhou case?What has it to do with Wuwangzhai?

Wen Ran put down the rag in his hand, took a pen and ink and sat down at the table, followed the document on the invitation, and copied it again. The proper official script, the handwriting is good, but it is not a famous handwriting, so nothing can be seen.

There are no clues in words, what about paper?

Wen Ran took a small knife to cut the invitation, and peeled off the red silk to reveal the entire letter paper. Wen Ran touched the front and back sides of the paper carefully. The paper was even in thickness, smooth in texture, and as white as jade. It was the best paper. Rattan paper, this kind of rattan paper has always been loved by literati and celebrities. All kinds of fragrant rattan paper were once popular in Beijing, and it was the favorite of many noble families.

Wen Ran sniffed the invitation, but there was no special sweet smell on it. It seemed that the person who sent the invitation didn't want it to be too special.

Wen Ran lit the lamp, and looked at the letter paper carefully. Although he loves calligraphy and painting, he doesn't know much about paper. At this time, he can see that it is rattan paper, but he can't tell where it came from. There are several in the capital. The shop has excellent rattan paper, and there are many varieties, it is really hard to say which one and which one.

Wen Ran was sighing, and was about to give up. Suddenly, he picked up the letter paper and sniffed it. Looking at the black ink on the paper, he couldn't help frowning. There was no fragrance on the paper, but there was a little musk in the ink. To the left is a little cloud plum flower brain, this kind of aroma is not found in ordinary ink.

Ordinary ink can be roughly divided into two types: pine smoke ink and oil smoke ink. Pine smoke ink is black and has a unique sense of vastness, while oil smoke ink is full of luster, and the running script is smooth and bright. Both are available, and both are used, and a good ink is hard to find.

The ink color is jet-black, bright and colorful, and the fragrance of ink is elegant and light. This kind of Mo Wenran can only think of one family. Huizhou Gushizhai is the most respected by dignitaries and literati. Gushizhai only has a semicolon in Beijing, and the business is very good Well, the most common piece of ink costs ten taels of silver. If the ink on the invitation is ordinary people would never see it, let alone ask about the price.If Wenran thinks right, although this ink is not the best, it is easy to buy.

When Wen Ran was celebrating the coronation ceremony, his father Wen Yuanchang once gave him a good ink from Gushizhai. Wen Ran liked it so much that he brought it with him when he left Beijing, and he was always reluctant to use it.

Song Yilin said that this Master Fan came from the capital, and he was in the cloth business.

Jinxiufang Wenran knew that it was a famous cloth shop in Beijing, and the ladies of the Wen family also liked it very much. The cloth and clothes for all seasons were ordered from Jinxiufang. Wenran always just chose his favorite materials. He never cared too much when the master came to tailor the clothes, and now he really doesn't know if the owner's surname is Fan.

Wen Ran put down the letter paper, and picked up the bronzing red silk and satin. The material is excellent and the workmanship is good, like something from Jinxiufang.

The brocade from Jinxiufang, the ink from Gushizhai, the top-quality rattan paper... This Master Fan is either a very dignified person or a person of great status.

Wen Ran thought it was the latter.If it's the former, it's time to beat the gongs and drums when buying a house, why is it that the plaque is not even hung up now.

But what puzzled Wen Ran most was not the Qionglin Banquet itself, but why the invitation was handed to him?

With the help of Song Yilin, Wen Ran quietly left the Wen family and the capital. The Wen family only said that he had returned to his hometown to recover from his illness. Although there were many rumors and rumors, Wen Ran no longer cared about it. It took Qin Tang a lot of trouble to find him. It takes a long time and strength, is there any dignitary in Beijing who knows his location and specially invites him?

Wen Ran thought it was unlikely, but the only explanation was that Master Fan had invited many people, but anyone with a little reputation was invited, and Wen Ran was just one of them.

Wen Ran's little fame in Biancheng was all due to a coincidence, and even a little bit of relationship with Guo Boyan.When Guo Boyan first returned to Biancheng, the officials of the three prefectures all handed over postcards, among which Gao Jin, the magistrate, was the most diligent.

Gao Jin, the magistrate of Biancheng, is a master who "keeps his ears out of the window". He always advocates doing more, making more mistakes and making fewer mistakes. After being undertook by adults, Biancheng and even the whole Qinzhou know that Gao Jin, the prefect, never sits in court.

As for this magistrate who "doesn't care about other things", he also likes the official rules of flirting with others. Before Guo Boyan arrived in Qinzhou, he wished he could meet him from ten miles away. After Guo Boyan returned to Biancheng, he usually didn't go out. The prefect's favorite is to "inspect" outside the city, and visit Mr. Guo on the way.

So the wronged people suddenly found an opportunity to block the magistrate at the gate of the city, kneeling on the official road to cry out their grievances, which made Gao Jin very distressed, and he didn't want to talk to him, and was afraid that this situation would spread to Old Guo's ears and make him lose face dull.

But Wen Ran couldn't "revenge" Guo Boyan, so he took all his anger on Gao Jin, and wrote pleadings for those people who complained of grievances. He wrote more than 30 letters for five days in a row. In the end, Gao Jin dared not go out again. On the sixth day, he sent a yamen servant to "invite" Wen Ran into the yamen. As soon as he entered the door, Wen Ran was accused of spreading rumors and inciting riots, and he was sentenced to severe punishment. Fortunately, Wei Chuyue He came in time, chatted with Dian Shi, and went to the back office to meet Gao Jin. After a cup of tea, Wei Chuyue left. Gao Jin came to the hall in person, with a smile on his face. Wen Ran held up his expensive pen, but Wen Ran refused to accept it, and finally got the governor to open the court, and that was the end of it.

After this incident, Wen Ran's reputation was known to everyone in Biancheng.

Wen Ran thought for a long time, and the sky darkened inadvertently, but he still had too many doubts, and he couldn't draw any conclusions based on speculation alone.

Wen Ran took a deep breath, and decided to reorganize this mess, and separate the Qionglin Banquet in the Fan Mansion and the Xuzhou case.

The arrival of Qin Tang and the intervention of Wuwangzhai stem from two murder cases in Xuzhou. One is the extermination case of Fu Chengyun's family and the Yuanwei Escort Bureau, and the other is the death of the head of Qinglongmen in Water Transport. The "Jianghu vendetta" was reported, but it was related to the royal timber business.

From Song Yilin's words, Wen Ran sensitively sensed that Qin Tang's visit was not simply because of the "Jianghu vendetta" or the "Miemen tragedy", but the ink corruption case in Xuzhou and the death of Jiedu envoy Cao Sheng a few years ago.

Wei Chuyue sent Song Yilin to Xuzhou to warn Fu's family, and rescued the orphan Fu Chengyun. Although Song Yilin didn't explain what it was, but said it was very important, Wen Ran understood that this was the reason why those killers chased Fu Chengyun all the way.It was also the reason why Song Yilin had to turn back when he met someone from Xuanjian Villa on the official road.It was even the reason for assassinating Qin Tang.

Song Yilin was convinced that the people in Xuanjian Villa had something to do with the Fu family's destruction of the family, but Wei Chuyue believed that Han Chongwen was not the mastermind, so he came up with a plan to capture him without a fight in the Fan Mansion, and let Song Yilin take the opportunity to escape as a countermeasure.

Thinking of this, Wen Ran already understood what Wei Chuyue meant.

Wei Chuyue used Fu Chengyun's news to lure the people from Xuanjian Villa down the mountain to search, and captured Cai Yun. Originally, he was supposed to torture him to extract a confession before finding clues, but was "disturbed" by Feng Jin. Everyone knows that the evidence in the hands of the Fu family has already fallen into the hands of Wuwangzhai, and it is useless to hunt down Fu Chengyun.

Wei Chuyue even told Feng Jin that Wuwangzhai had teamed up with Dali Temple, and all the evidence of Qin Tang's assassination pointed to Xuanjian Villa. If they couldn't get rid of the suspicion by themselves, then Xuanjian Villa would only end up being wiped out by the imperial soldiers.

Of course, Wei Chuyue would not be so stupid as to believe that Feng Jin or Han Chongwen could find out the truth of the matter, and it would be good if they could find out the inner ghost.

Wei Chuyue revealed almost everything to Han Chongwen. He just wanted to drive the ghosts and people behind the scenes of Xuanjian Villa into a desperate situation. How could he let Wei Chuyue and Qin Tang swagger and have a good time? Alive, investigate the Xuzhou case to the end, and report the witnesses and evidence one by one?

The trapping of Wei Chuyue and Qin Tang in the Fan Mansion was their best chance. He wanted to use himself as bait to lure the people behind the scenes to make a move. Seeing that Song Yilin was a net, the so-called countermeasure was to wait for the fish to bite the bait, that is, to accept net time.

Wei Chuyue made good calculations, but he never expected that the Fan Mansion was not an ordinary house. It was not easy for Song Yilin to come out, and it was even more difficult to get in. Song Yilin was in a hurry.

Wen Ran did not know that this was the hundreds of times he sighed today. He reached out and stroked the red satin cover of the invitation card, thinking silently, with Wuwangzhai's power in the world, he could not find out the identity of Master Fan so quickly, but there is still Two people should know.

One is Guo Boyan, this old man surnamed Fan was once a guest of Guo Boyan.

The other one is the prefect Gao Jin, he is very ardent to Guo Boyan, he has investigated this Fan Rong when Master Fan bought the house, although there is no record in the document, but Gao Jin will know something.

Tomorrow, Wen Ran will go out for a trip.

Guo Boyan, Wen Ran would definitely not look for him. If he really saw him, Wen Ran might not be able to control his anger to the point of murder.It can only be the magistrate's yamen over there.

Although everyone in Biancheng knows that the magistrate respects Mr. Wen more than others, Wen Ran knows in his heart that Gao Jin didn't really think highly of him, but that it was too much trouble to provoke him, or in other words, to provoke Wu Wangzhai. Too troublesome.

Wei Chuyue was away, Wen Ran went to the yamen by himself, he might not even be able to enter the gate, let alone meet Gao Jin, the magistrate, straightforward questioning would definitely not work, and he had to find another way.
