Chapter 6 Imitation of Zhao Gao's Handwriting
Just 10 minutes later.
Zhu Feng's calm voice came through the earpiece again.
"Comrade Zhang Fan, the think tank has combined all historical data and devised three foolproof strategies for you!"
"Listen carefully, then relay this to the First Emperor!"
Zhang Fan perked up and immediately brought the phone to Ying Zheng's ear.
Zhu Feng's voice echoed clearly in the deathly silent study:
Article 1: Forgery of the Covenant!
"China's top handwriting analysis experts perfectly copied Zhao Gao's handwriting to create a blood-written pact between him and the Tian family, nobles of the former Qi state!"
The content reads: "Taking advantage of the First Emperor's fifth eastern tour, they assassinated him at Bolangsha and supported the restoration of the Qi king's descendants!"
"Article Two: Framed for Poisoning!"
"Zhao Gao had close ties with the alchemist Xu Fu, so he could have lured Xu Fu into a trap beforehand, thus confirming Zhao Gao's intention to add a slow-acting poison to the 'elixir of immortality' presented to the First Emperor, in order to control the emperor and coordinate an attack from within!"
"Third point: Politically motivated attacks!"
"Zhao Gao, the head of the Imperial Carriage Office, controlled the royal carriages and supplies allocation system. He must have embezzled a considerable amount. After confiscating his property, we will confirm his embezzlement!"
Three vicious schemes, each more ruthless and cruel than the last!
Ying Zheng was shocked and horrified upon hearing this!
He stared in shock at the tiny phone; the methods of people from later generations were truly terrifying!
Such scheming and manipulation are simply unheard of!
He paused for a moment, then spoke slowly, his voice carrying a barely perceptible hint of admiration:
"Sir, there's no need for such trouble."
"The first rule alone is enough to kill him!"
The next second, he shouted sharply:
"Guards! Bring me all the memorials Zhao Gao has recently submitted!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a flicker of uncertainty crossed Ying Zheng's face.
Why choose the first option?
He just wanted to see just how capable this person from the future really was!
A moment later, scrolls of bamboo slips were presented.
Without saying a word, Zhang Fan picked up one of the memorials that Ying Zheng had handed him and placed it on the ground.
Then I took out my phone, pointed it at it, and tapped "send"!
hum!
A flash of white light, and the memorial vanished into thin air!
The phone's battery level also dropped instantly from 110% to 90%.
……
at the same time.
Command Center of Beijing Municipal State Security Bureau.
A flash of white light, and an ancient bamboo scroll appeared out of thin air on the sterile table that had been prepared.
A group of archaeologists wearing white gloves immediately surrounded them, their eyes shining!
"Quick! Quick! Non-destructive testing!"
"Date confirmed! Material analysis!"
"This is a genuine Qin Dynasty artifact! My God!"
Ignoring the excited archaeologists, Zhu Feng picked up an encrypted phone and decisively gave the order:
"Group A, depart immediately! Go to Beijing University and invite Professor Xiao Huaiyu over!"
"Remember, this is top-secret!"
"yes!"
……
Inside a classroom in the Department of Paleography at Kyoto University.
Xiao Huaiyu, a renowned calligrapher with white hair, is explaining the evolution of Small Seal script to his students.
"We see that the Qin Dynasty's Small Seal script is tight at the top and loose at the bottom, with even and rounded strokes, full of a sense of order, which is exactly what unification is all about..."
boom!
The classroom door was suddenly pushed open!
All the students were startled and turned around in shock.
Several men dressed in black suits, with cold expressions, strode in.
The leader walked straight to the front of the stage and faced Xiao Huaiyu, who looked astonished.
Without any further ado, he immediately produced a bright red identification document.
"Professor Xiao Huaiyu? This is the State Security Bureau! There's an urgent mission; the country needs you!"
The six characters are: "State Security Administration"!
It was like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears!
The entire classroom instantly went from shock to uproar!
"The National Security Bureau? Did I hear that right?!"
"My God! Is this a movie shoot?"
"Professor Xiao... what exactly is his identity?"
Xiao Huaiyu, standing on the podium, was completely dumbfounded.
His mind went blank. He stared blankly at the red ID card, then at the several powerful men in front of him.
The National Security Bureau... is looking for me?
An old man who has dedicated his entire life to the study of ancient scripts?
What a ridiculous thing this is!
How utterly baffling!
He lived for over seventy years, spending his life with pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, never imagining that he could be connected with the country's top secrets department.
however.
When the words "The country needs you" entered my ears.
That deep sense of bewilderment was instantly replaced by an overwhelming surge of emotion!
excitement!
It was an unparalleled thrill!
A surge of hot blood rushed from the soles of my feet straight to the top of my head!
He studied history his whole life, and his lifelong wish was to uncover more historical truths for the country.
He thought he would spend his whole life buried in old books and studying them until his hair turned white.
Unexpectedly, in his seventies, the nation told him in such a solemn way—
The country needs you!
"Good! Good! Good!"
Xiao Huaiyu was so excited that his lips were trembling.
His aged eyes shone with an unprecedented brilliance!
"It is the greatest honor of my life to be able to serve my country!"
He abruptly ended the class, without even having time to explain anything further to the students.
Amidst the students' admiring, shocked, and awe-inspiring gazes, he followed the state security personnel without hesitation and got into a black sedan.
In the car, a black eye mask was handed to him, and he put it on immediately without hesitation.
When Xiao Huaiyu opened his eyes again, he found himself inside a huge base.
The room was filled with huge screens, and countless researchers in white coats were hurrying around, creating a tense yet solemn atmosphere.
Zhu Feng strode forward, grasped his hand tightly, and said with an extremely serious expression:
"Mr. Xiao, time is of the essence!"
"We need you. Use your technical skills to perfectly replicate this person's handwriting within one hour!"
Following the direction Zhu Feng pointed, Xiao Huaiyu saw an ancient bamboo scroll.
A great doubt arose in his heart again, but he suppressed his emotions, put on special gloves, and carefully stepped forward.
however.
When his gaze truly fell upon the bamboo slip.
He was struck dumb, frozen in place!
He devoted his life to studying Qin seal script and was thoroughly familiar with the handwriting of every great calligrapher of that era!
The font in front of you!
That unique blend of concealed sharpness and turning points!
He won't admit his mistake!
Absolutely not!
His pupils contracted sharply, and his outstretched fingers trembled violently.
He let out an incredulous gasp.
"This...this is impossible!!"
"This...this is...an authentic work by Zhao Gao, the Chief of the Imperial Carriage Office during the Qin Dynasty!!"
……
I don't know how much time passed.
Just as the atmosphere in the study became tense again, Zhu Feng's voice finally came from the phone.
"Comrade Zhang Fan! The forgery is complete!"
"A perfect replica, handwritten by Mr. Xiao and made with cutting-edge technology! Now, please try turning on the receiving function!"
"Very good!"
Zhang Fan was overjoyed; a huge weight had finally been lifted from his shoulders!
He suppressed his excitement, quickly took out his phone, tapped the blue icon, and then pressed the "Receive" button on the screen!
next moment.
Two completely different yet closely connected miracles occurred in two different time periods!
Command center of the State Security Bureau.
The moment Zhang Fan pressed the button, the "pseudo-covenant" in front of Zhu Feng vanished into thin air!
It's as if it never existed!
"Report! Target disappeared!"
"The high-energy particle detector experienced momentary fluctuations, with peak values far exceeding the previous one! However, its trajectory could not be captured!"
"No anomalies detected in space curvature! No anomalies detected in gravitational wave detection!"
"It...it just disappeared!"
