Handwriting imitation seems simple, but it is very difficult to do. Ancient literati still had in-depth research on signature anti-counterfeiting!
A simpler method can be to perform acupuncture at a special location in the signature. If the forger does not know the location of the acupuncture, then even if he can imitate it, he can still detect it as a fake!
Wealthy literati would mix very fine cinnabar or gold dust into the ink, and some would simply mix in special spices. The authenticity can be distinguished by smell or a foreigner's magnifying glass!
None of these methods are the most effective. The most effective thing is to practice calligraphy so that your handwriting has a unique personality that cannot be imitated!
The higher your calligraphy skills, the harder it is to imitate!
Luo Hao and Wen Xiu are also traditional scholars. They joined the Western learning camp later. The basic skills of ancient literati are very solid!
Luo Hao has been copying Wei stele for many years, and Wen Xiu has worked hard to refine his thin gold body. The two people's calligraphy and painting retouching expenses are also among the top ten in the capital!
Except for a few old scholars in the Hanlin Academy and one or two old bookworms in Liulichang, no one in the entire capital can imitate this kind of calligraphy!
What's more important is that the ink used by Wen Xiu and Luo Hao is specially made, which is the best among Anhui inks. It is mixed with fixed ambergris, and the handwriting has a faint aroma!
Only the orderer knows the proportion of this spice, so it is difficult to imitate it!
"Führer! Those old bookworms in Liulichang can imitate our handwriting, but it's impossible for them to get our Hui ink, which means the scent doesn't match!"
"It seems that the circle of suspicion can only be concentrated... among our former colleagues! Many years ago, I played Huimo with them, and I also said this ratio!"
Luo Haobie was an Imperial Academy editor before the imperial court was dismissed. His long-term job was to deal with the four treasures of the study. How could he not study Hui ink as the best in China!
Xiao Letian nodded slightly, "So, the suspect is locked in the Hanlin Academy? You guys tell me, what should we do about this matter?"
"Check it out. If there's anything to discuss, let's get to the bottom of it!" Chun Shisanniang said indignantly.
At this time, the Chinese senior officials who arrived one after another also understood the cause and effect. The bellicose Hingtaro, Luo Huo and others jumped out and clamored to find out!
"Father, you cannot condone these evil spirits. Let me lead people to arrest them. Those scholars are easy to interrogate. Let me handle it!"
Luo Huo waved his hand, "Hyotaro, please don't cause trouble. This matter should be investigated, but the head of state has a plan. Even if we investigate, we have to go through the Qing government. Do you still want to rush to the Hanlin Academy to arrest people?" "
Compared with these militants, Fu Qing seems to be much more low-key. "Isn't it good to be so impatient? I always have a feeling that the black hands behind the scenes are just waiting for us to track them down!"
"I just feel...if we really attack the Hanlin Academy, we will really fall into their scheme!"
"Hey! What Third Master said is still relevant!" Xiao Letian nodded and said, "Think about it carefully. What if this is the strategic intention of the masterminds behind the scenes?"
"What if their purpose is to let us investigate the Hanlin Academy? For example, to find a few suspicious people, and then find more suspicious people, and then continue to pursue them until the end..."
"Maybe the enemy wants us to do this. What they want is this process of us confronting the imperial court!"
"The reputation of our Chinese race is bad enough. Everyone says we are overbearing... If we really do this, we will be slapped with such a label until death!"
Everyone frowned when they heard this, and even impulsive elements like Hyoutaro and Luo Huo stopped talking!
At this time, Mr. Long, who had been guarding outside, suddenly rushed in, "Head of State... There are dragon flags flying in the north and the sound of horse hooves. The emperor is here!"
In the chaos of the morning, Emperor Tongzhi finally hurried to the Chinese embassy next to the Dongdan Archway. The sentries at the door stood at attention and saluted, and the subjects of the Qing Dynasty knelt down one by one and bowed their heads to the emperor!
Accompanied by Yinggui and Weng Tonghe, Zai Chun hurriedly walked into the gate surrounded by eunuchs and soldiers, passed through the second hall and walked towards the back hall of the rear ceremony!
After all, Zai Chun was the emperor. When the senior officials of the Chinese clan saw him, they all stood up and saluted. Fu Qing, Luo Hao, Wen Xiu and others knelt on the ground and knelt on the ground to bow their heads to Zai Chun, shouting three times "Long live!"
But Zaichun paid no attention to all of this. There was only one figure in his eyes, the master sitting at the table in front of the hall enjoying tea!
Zai Chun stood up respectfully in front of Xiao Letian, and suddenly bowed respectfully at ninety degrees: "Master... the apprentice failed to govern this country well, and you have been wronged! The apprentice is guilty..."
Ying Gui and Weng Tonghe on the side burst into tears when they saw it. What the hell is going on! The majestic emperor of the Qing Dynasty actually bowed to the head of state of a small foreign country!
Does the great Qing Dynasty want to treat the Chinese as ministers and subordinates? Humble, humble!
But what was even more irritating was Xiao Letian. When he saw the emperor bowing to apologize to him, he actually sat carelessly on his chair motionless. How could he still think about drinking tea?
"Xiao Letian! Don't bully others too much! Even if you have a master-disciple relationship with His Majesty, His Majesty, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, is more noble than you..."
"Did I invite you here?" Before Weng Tonghe could finish his scolding, Xiao Letian answered the question with a retort, which made Weng Tonghe roll his eyes.
When Ying Gui saw this, he became angry: "Xiao Letian! Don't be too arrogant! Do you think that our Qing Dynasty has no one? The truth of the whole thing is still unclear! I suspect that this is all your own fault." , you deliberately acted for the world to see!"
"If you dare to humiliate His Majesty, I will issue orders to you!" After all, Yinggui was born in the army, the Minister of War and the commander of the infantry. His temper was naturally extremely hot, and he pointed at his nose and yelled at Xiao Letian.
Xiao Letian wasn't angry either. Instead, he smiled and said to Yinggui, "What's wrong? Can you bite me?"
"You...you..." Yinggui has been dealing with Qiu Ba for half his life, and he knows what soldiers and ruffians are like, but he never imagined that as the head of a country, he could be so ruthless, which made him unable to respond for a moment.
Xiao Letian smiled, "Why are you two so angry? Someone dropped a bomb on me, and I was framed by a fake newspaper and spread rumors. I was pissed with shit, and I didn't say anything..."
"Why are you more angry than me?"
After all, Fu Qing is the stuffing in the sandwich biscuits. The face of the Chinese people and the imperial court must be taken into consideration, so they quickly made peace in the middle, "My lords, my lords, please stop yelling!"
"We just found some clues here. Time is running out and it's important to catch the real culprit! At this moment, many people in the printing factory have been silenced!"
"Master Weng, please quickly send someone to the Hanlin Academy to protect you, because you're afraid that the black hands will eventually reach there!"
"Hanlin Academy? What does it have to do with Hanlin Academy..." This is the old man's territory, and he became anxious when he heard it!
Qing Sanye repeated everything just now in a low voice, and Weng Tonghe went crazy when he heard it!
