Chapter 360 Imitation (6K+)

More than 30 letters... This number made Jiang Shaoyan stunned: How many people from Ji Chongyan are there around Jiangnan Dao and Yang Yan?When did he start letting people around Yang Yan?
Putting someone by the side of a suspicious person like Yang Yan without being discovered is definitely not something that can be done in just half a year or a year.After all, a person like Yang Yan would not casually let go of his heart to someone who has not been around him for a short time.

At that time, Yang Yanyuan was in Jiangnan Road, and Ji Chongyan, a close minister of the emperor, was His Majesty's most beloved nephew in Chang'an City.If so, why did Ji Chongyan suddenly pay attention to Yang Yanlai?

Many questions flashed through his mind, and Jiang Shaoyan subconsciously looked at Ji Chongyan.He looked at her with clear eyes, and asked with a smile: "Miss Jiang Si, is this enough?"

Jiang Shaoyan nodded: Enough, enough, if you can't find any problems in more than 30 letters, then it's useless to have more.

Taking out the letters in the box, she glanced roughly at the date. The earliest one was a letter sent home by Yang Yang when he went to Chang'an City at the beginning of this year.

Naturally, the owner of Ji Chongyan's box has already read these letters, and is helping Jiang Shaoyan to separate each letter from the envelope and arrange them on the table one by one.

Just now, the girls did the same thing when they were testing ink. They lined up one by one, so they could be seen clearly at a glance. It wouldn't make her eyes dazzled by the complexity. On the contrary, it would only make her see more clearly.

Jiang Shaoyan temporarily put the ink color she tried in her hand aside.

Seeing this, Lin Yan asked casually: "How is it? Has Miss Jiang Si finished the test?"

Jiang Shaoyan nodded "Yes", pointed to the ink color that had been tested and said to Lin Yan: "Look, is this color the same as the note of the female family members of the Yang family?"

Before Lin Yan could speak, Ji Chongyan said, "It's the same."

Lin Yan: "..." Can he tell the truth?can not tell!In his view, these colors are all alike.

Maybe he is an ordinary person like the female family members of the Yang family. To him, these ink colors are almost the same, they are all black.

But no matter what, Miss Jiang Si and Chongyan say yes!Anyway, the two "masterminds" who attacked the Yang family were the two of them, so they probably wouldn't joke about such a thing.

But with a little effort, the two people in that room have already started to look at the letters and envelopes lined up on the table.

After a while, Ji Chongyan said: "The female family members of the Yang family are ordinary people, and Yang Yan will not give them too difficult problems."

"I didn't do anything on the envelope," the girl nodded after hearing the words, and said, "If it were me, the envelope would touch a lot of people, it would be troublesome, and I wouldn't do anything on the envelope."

Ji Chongyan let out a "huh", and his eyes fell on the content of the letter: "The number of words in these letters is not regular, and it may be long or short, and it has nothing to do with the date of sending and receiving."

As the owner of the box, Ji Chongyan had already studied these letters.

Jiang Shaoyan looked at Ji Chongyan, did not interrupt him, and listened carefully.

The girl's gaze was gentle and firm, and Ji Chongyan looked up at her: "There should be no problem with the word count, so if there is a problem, it must be above Yang Yan's home calligraphy."

"Yang Yan is a man of good words, and his literary talents are outstanding. The articles of Lianzhong Sanyuan in the previous dynasty are still hanging outside the school of the Imperial College." Ji Chongyan paused and said to Jiang Shaoyan, "He is very good at writing. article."

The girl seemed to have understood what he meant, she pursed her lips and smiled: "So, there are many ways for a person who is good at writing to express himself."

This kind of dialogue is really refreshing. Ji Chongyan also had a smile in his eyes when he heard the words, and said to the girl: "I'm not very good at composing poems, but five-character quatrains and seven-character verses are among the most popular poems and songs. I still understand the rules. Yang Yan's identity as Lord Yang is far higher than other identities, but before he became an official, his five unique and seven laws are said to be very good."

Jiang Shaoyan has also heard about this point: but this is not what she heard when she was Miss Jiang in the previous dynasty. At that time, she didn't pay much attention to the number one scholar of the Sanyuan in the Dajing Lianzhong in the previous dynasty. "This person was born at an untimely time", after all, the emperor who was in the Dajing Dynasty was a tyrant at that time, and there is no use for those who are not talented.

In addition, although the so-called number one scholar who spread flowers along the road is powerful, as Miss Jiang, although she has no impression of Mr. Jiang's biological father, she has heard too much about the collection of thousands of books and Mr. Jiang's rumors.

No matter how powerful Yang Yan was, his reputation at that time was far lower than that of Jiang Gong, not to mention that Jiang Gong died suddenly at the time of his fame. Not too much.

Jiang Shaoyan has always been a layman when it comes to poetry, but the original owner of this body—the chubby innocent girl is exceptionally talented: she has collected a lot of five unique and seven laws written by Yang Yan, and gave comments: " Yang Sanyuan's literary talent is remarkable.

Yang Yan was nicknamed "Yang Sanyuan" because of his three-year success.

Of course, the talented "Yang Sanyuan" later used his power to protect and "bully" her daughter Yang Weixian, and the girl usually messed up the collected poems of Yang Yan in a fit of anger.But even if the painting is messy, those poems did not "suffer", so she can still see Yang Yan's poems clearly.

The girl picked up the first letter: "This letter was sent on the fifth day of February. There are two five-character short sentences in this letter, and five seven-character short sentences in this letter."

Lin Yan, who was watching Jiang Shaoyan talking to Ji Chongyan, suddenly came to his senses: "Could it be that the five-character phrase in the letter is the month, and the seven-character phrase is the day, and if the numbers match, then it is Yang Yan's answer." Write?"

The girl nodded with a smile and said: "That should be the case. If one letter is a coincidence, two letters may also be a coincidence, or even three or four letters may be a coincidence, but if the 'five unique and seven laws' in all letters can match the date If it does, it can’t be a coincidence.”

Lin Yan: "..."

Before he could speak, the two people who were talking across the long table spoke again.

"The method Yang Yan thought of is actually very powerful!" The girl looked down at the letter on the table, and couldn't help feeling, "It's really not easy to combine the content of the letter with the 'Five Absolutes and Seven Laws' so that it can be written without being obtrusive. "

"Secondly, counting five-character short sentences and seven-character short sentences is easy for the female family members of the Yang family." Ji Chongyan continued.

Only now did Lin Yan find the time to interject, and quickly said, "Yes, Yang Yan is really good, but you two are not bad either."

At least such a tricky method was unexpected to him for a while, and... He looked at the two people who were unconsciously leaning towards each other across the long table, and couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth: He has been with Chongyan for so many years. I have made friends, but it was the first time when I talked about serious things, I felt that I was "squeezed out".

Those two spoke one sentence after another, and he had nowhere to interject.

Originally, he thought that there were very few people in this world other than himself who could keep up with people with weird ideas like Chong Yan, but now he realized that there really are.

Now that Yang Yan has found a way to exchange family letters with the female family members of the Yang family, it is time to reply.

It's not easy to reply to the letter in Yang Yan's tone without abruptly, and to mix in short sentences of "five unique and seven laws" just right!
The two people in that room who couldn't get in the conversation at all also spoke again at this time.

"Then Mrs. Yang's letter, do you go back and forth or should I go back and forth?" Ji Chongyan asked.

Jiang Shaoyan thought about the things written by Ji Chongyan that she had read, and said seriously: "Let me come! After all, I am a talented woman..."

"Pfft!" Lin Yan, who was thinking of a solution seriously, didn't expect the girl to say such a sentence suddenly, and the tea he had just swallowed almost didn't spit out.

The girl who didn't seem to be joking at all smiled at him, then stopped laughing, and continued to seriously say to Ji Chongyan: "I'm a talented girl, if you believe me, how about I let the letter go back and forth?"

"Okay." Ji Chongyan nodded without thinking about it.

Such an eloquent Chongyan has never been seen before.

Lu, who went out to buy sandpaper, came back with the paper at this time, and the girl simply walked to the desk on the other side, took out a jar of plaster from the box she didn't know how many things contained, and started gluing it together. Loose knife paper and Wen sandpaper.

Gluing paper is obviously the easiest thing under the requirements of imitating handwriting, replying letters in Yang Yan's tone, and mixing "five unique and seven laws".

After Lin Yan stood aside for a while, he was silent, and asked the girl for a can of plaster to try to glue it together.

It's just that even though it was the easiest thing to do, it turned out that it was really a meticulous job. Lin Yan lowered his eyes and carefully imitated the girl's application of plasters and stickers... Uh, the first one was posted crookedly.

Looking at the crooked paper he pasted, he realized for the first time that his hands were not dexterous at all.While I was pasting crooked papers, the girl in that room had already pasted up two.

The paper is spread, glued, and then spread out in one go. It looks really simple, but it doesn't seem so simple to do it.Lin Yan was silent, and instead of wasting paper, he walked to Ji Chongyan's side and watched Ji Chongyan talking to the girl while rubbing ink.

"How is Miss Jiang Si these days?"

The girl nodded, the speed of the stickers in her hand was neither too fast nor too slow, and she didn't waste a single one, and said: "It's not bad, the elders in the family have been a little bit angry recently, but it's not a big problem."

Well, Chongyan pays attention to Baoling's affairs every day, so Lin Yan also knows about it.

It's really not a big problem, it's all locked in, it's really not a big problem!Lin Yan twitched the corner of his mouth, and glanced at Ji Chongyan who was slowly rubbing the ink with his sleeves up: I feel more and more that Chongyan at this time is a little red sleeves, oh no, it's blue sleeves.

While talking, the stack of papers in the girl's hand had already been glued, so she pushed the tools in her hand aside, took out the first glued piece of paper, and put it in front of her. Mo Demo began to reply.

Lin Yan has seen girls' words: indeed, she deserves the title of "talented girl". A woman is delicate and beautiful but has her own characters. Hearing that Uncle Dongping loves his daughters like his life, he searched for his daughter. There are many famous copybooks, girls' characters should be learned from those copybooks.

Judging from the finished product, Uncle Dongping's money for those copybooks was not wasted.

However, the first character written now is completely different from the original delicate bones. The handwriting style is changeable and weird. It looks chaotic at first glance, but it has its own charm when you look closely.

This handwriting...isn't it Yang Yan's "chaotic stone" style?

Yang Yan himself is a "master" of calligraphy and painting who knows a variety of fonts. He writes in memorial books. One kind appears in front of people every day, and another kind is written in family letters.

Lin Yan looked at the girl who was serious about writing with a surprised expression, and subconsciously glanced at Ji Chongyan who was beside him: he was still admiring with a smile as always, without any strangeness.

If Chongyan hadn't stayed with him all these days, he couldn't help but wonder if Ji Chongyan in front of him had changed.
This is Chongyan?He still remembered a time a few years ago, his old Shangfeng Jifeng flipped through a copybook that he didn't know where, and he got it for a while, and tried to write a letter to him with the words in it, but Chongyan saw it, and immediately After taking the letter, they blocked the "suspicious" Mr. Ji together with him, and after "examining" for a long time, they released Mr. Ji who was in a cold sweat.

As if aware of Lin Yan's surprised gaze, Ji Chongyan smiled and explained to him: "Miss Jiang Si is a talented woman, so it's not surprising that she knows a little bit of this."

Lin Yan: "..."

Yang Yan's self-created "chaotic stone" body is not easy to imitate, but now Miss Jiang Si... Okay!As Chongyan said, it's not surprising that a talented woman will meet.

"If there is a need in the Yang family, Fourth Miss Jiang can come to Yancheng to find me." Ji Chongyan continued.

This was a promise, the girl's drooping eyelashes trembled, the speed of writing the letter in her hand remained the same, but her eyelids were raised, she paused, and asked him: "Isn't Yancheng busy these days?"

"Not busy." Ji Chongyan did not change the speed of grinding the ink in his hand, and chatted with her with a smile, "Lin Yan and I have been fishing recently."

fishing?Lin Yan looked at Ji Chongyan: Why didn't he know?Fishing for... Uh, no, it is indeed fishing, but this fish is very big, and it is the secret hidden by the Fang family.

"Then what are you going to do with the fish Ji Shizi you caught?" The speed of the girl's writing letter still didn't change at all, and the two of them seemed to be just chatting in an ordinary way, "Keep it? Or let it go? Or burn it and eat it?"

Ji Chongyan stared at the girl who lowered her head and seriously wrote the letter, without looking away for a moment, and guessed after a pause: "I don't know right now. Why don't you check whether the fish you caught are suitable for raising or eating?"

The girl said "hmm" and didn't say much.

Ji Chongyan then said: "However, Miss Jiang Si is good at making fish. I have searched all over the restaurants and restaurants in the capital, but I can't find anything that suits my taste. If Miss Jiang Si likes it, I can leave it to you."

Lin Yan, who was listening to these words, bit his tongue in almost no surprise: Is Chongyan crazy?Even if he likes Miss Jiang Si so much, he is willing to hand over the matter of the Fang family to Miss Jiang Si before it is clear?

Lin Yan was not the only one who was surprised, even the girl who had not changed her hands stopped at this moment, looked up at him and said, "What did you say?"

"I said that if Miss Jiang Si likes it, I can leave it to you." Ji Chongyan repeated with a smile.

This... human favor is probably too great!Jiang Shaoyan put down the pen in her hand, with a solemn expression on her face, she looked at Ji Chongyan, and said seriously: "I don't know what this fish looks like, but this kind of promise, the prince should not make it lightly."

Ji Chongyan smiled and didn't take it seriously: "It's okay. If Miss Jiang Si wants it, I'm willing to give it to you. It doesn't matter if you keep it or let it go, even steamed or braised in soy sauce."

Xiangli swallowed silently while listening, and added in her heart: You can also make soup or something, but it's delicious!

Ji Shizi is indeed the best candidate for the son-in-law that Xiangli likes. It doesn't matter if he looks good, he can fish.At the earliest, I sent a basket of small crucian carp over, and the lady made mashed glutinous fish bream, and later sent big fish to make braised fish nuggets, steamed fish heads and fish head tofu soup. I can't stop.

Jiang Shaoyan looked at Ji Chongyan, paused for a moment, and asked him, "Why?"

Except for the little girl Xiangli who swallowed her saliva, anyone who understands what the two of them are saying knows that what they are talking about is definitely not a real fish.

Lin Yan's expression on the side can be described as weird.

Such a fish is too big, who dares to accept it for no reason?

"If you want, I will give it." Ji Chongyan said with a smile, and looked deeply at Jiang Shaoyan, "It is hard to find a bosom friend in high mountains and flowing waters, since ancient times, Miss Jiang Si is my bosom friend."

What do you know and sound?Is it the deep frying that the lady said?Xiangli opened her eyes wide and tried to listen.I heard that fried cicadas sprinkled with salt and pepper powder, cumin powder, chili powder, plum powder, etc. are delicious!
It turned out to be a bosom friend!Jiang Shaoyan was stunned, and said with a smile: "Actually, it doesn't have to be like this."

Aside from the fact that Xiaobaicai also likes to eat, she actually likes talking to Xiaobaicai, and she always feels that talking to him is particularly smooth.Well, she thought about it, probably because neither of them is a good person, but they are not a bad person either!
Ji Chongyan smiled and said, "It's good that Miss Jiang Si is willing!"

Willing to be a ghost!Lin Yan couldn't help but glance at Ji Chongyan: Ji Chongyan is a liar, what he wants to be is not Miss Jiang Si's friend, but... Cough cough, in short, Chongyan is a liar.

Seeing his sincerity, if Miss Jiang Si opposite her was someone like her maid Xiangli, she would have already believed it.

But since the person who lied was Miss Jiang Si... The girl lowered her eyelids, not knowing whether she believed it or not, let alone mentioning the fish, she just continued to pick up the pen and write.

The girl wrote very quickly, and almost finished writing a family letter without thinking. After finishing writing, the girl blew on the family letter, picked up the family letter and handed it to Ji Chongyan, saying, "Look, Mr. Ji, is this Yang Yan?" A letter from home with your own handwriting?"

Lin Yan turned his head and read it with Ji Chongyan: This letter from home is not long, and there is no nonsense throughout. The words are long and short, and the font is chaotic and orderly, especially after reading the dozens of letters from home written by Yang Yan himself. , there is no sense of disobedience.

Lin Yan was amazed by this feeling, but at the same time, he also felt a little bad.

He served as Shaoqing in Dali Temple, and he has handled countless cases. Although he pays attention to evidence in handling cases, he will not arrest people without evidence.But most of the seasoned case-handling officials, including him and Dali Temple Qing Jifeng, actually have a subtle "intuition" in it.

Sometimes, perhaps before the brain reacts, the body that has experienced hundreds of cases will have a subtle sense of disobedience.This subtle sense of disobedience often gives officials like Lin Yan a direction to investigate cases, and they almost never make mistakes.He has encountered this kind of criminal who imitated handwriting several times, but the tracing that is difficult to refute with the naked eye will eventually have an indescribable sense of disobedience.

But the letter in front of him made him feel nothing at first glance. If he hadn't read Miss Jiang Si's handwriting with his own eyes, he might not have noticed the problem.

"Lin Yan," just as he was thinking, Ji Chongyan beside him asked him, "How do you feel?"

what does it feel likeLin Yan looked up at him instinctively, his eyes were blank, he shook his head and said, "I... don't feel anything."

Hearing this, Ji Chongyan immediately laughed: "That's it... If you don't even notice that there is any problem, the female family members of the Yang family will naturally be the same."

Lin Yan: "..." Dare to use him to test whether the letter can "pass" the level?
When he came back to his senses, Lin Yan paused, and quickly reminded Ji Chongyan: "The content of Guangxin is not enough..." Lin Yan picked up an envelope from a family letter, pointed to the envelope and said, "There is also a station cover. stamp of..."

This is the seal stamped by the small officials of the post stations passing through each post station when they hand over.These stamps are new and old, and even the cinnabar clay is different, what should I do?
Regarding this, Ji Chongyan raised his chin, pointed at the girl who had already pushed aside a row of cinnabar mud and said, "Miss Jiang Si has a way."

Lin Yan: "..."

"Besides, it doesn't have to be so complicated." Ji Chongyan said, pointing to the note that Mrs. Yang sent to Yang Yan, and said, "Mrs. Slow. He is deeply suspicious and doesn't like to use flying pigeons to pass letters, because he is worried that someone will shoot down the pigeons halfway and make tooth sacrifices." At this point, Ji Chongyan glanced at Xiangli, who was swallowing saliva, so A lot of letters is enough to prove that Yang Yan doesn't need Feige to pass on letters. After all, Feige can carry only a limited amount of information. It is normal not to use it.

"But Baili has a lot of credit for expediting," Ji Chongyan pointed to the stamps on the envelopes, and said, "So just imitate the stamps of a few major checkpoints along the way."

Of course, there is no problem with this kind of analysis, but as long as... Lin Yan feels that the word "as long as" is not appropriate.

But while talking, the girl seemed to have already prepared the cinnabar mud. She chose the smallest Langhao brush, and was just taking an envelope to draw a stamp.

Looking at this scene, Lin Yan suddenly felt that after returning to Beijing, one more name should be added to the key objects that disturbed the peace of Chang'an City that he and old Shangfeng Jifeng paid the most attention to.

Jiang Shaoyan from Dongping Bofu.

The name should be at the top of the list.
