Words like "five thunders from the sky" rolled around Lin Ziyan's throat. He finally did not say such words, but instead said: "Then I will let Mr. Zhou handle it."
Li Tannian looked at Magistrate Zhou with a serious look on his face: "Master Zhou, if it is proven that Lin Ziyan did not do this, how will you punish him?"
"Li Tannian, don't go too far!" Lin Ziyan's heart tightened, and his intuition told him that she should have evidence.
Ge Shi on the side also planned to speak for his son. At this moment, Magistrate Zhou's voice sounded: "If it is proved that he used other people's poems for profit, then he must apologize to the original owner and take back what he got. All interests and reputation will be announced in the county for one month. If the original owner does not forgive him, he may be jailed."
While speaking, Magistrate Zhou glanced at Lin Ziyan.
If he had heard such words before reading Shen Yanzhi's article, he would definitely have protected Lin Ziyan. After all, no one was willing to admit that they had poor vision and appointed such a master.
But now, Magistrate Zhou only has endless contradictions in his heart.
He not only hoped that he had read Lin Ziyan correctly, but also hoped that Shen Yanzhi had not embezzled other people's poems.
"Lin Ziyan, you said you wrote these poems, but do you have the manuscripts?" Li Tannian suddenly asked.
Lin Ziyan felt guilty, where did he have any manuscripts?
After taking the poem manuscripts from Li Tannian's house, as soon as he knew them well, he transcribed them and handed them to the government office.
If someone really wanted to check, they would only find the paper manuscripts in his house that were taken out from Li Tannian's house and were not his notes.
Lin Ziyan bet that the other party didn't have any manuscripts either, so he immediately said: "I made them all for a long time, and they are gone long ago. Is it possible that Master Shen has them here?"
Li Tannian expected that the other party would say this, and just when he was about to speak, he heard Shen Yanzhi: "Of course I have it here."
Everyone was stunned. Shen Yanzhi nodded to County Magistrate Zhou, then went back to the house and took out countless manuscripts.
Those manuscripts are all the ones where he originally transcribed Li Tannian's poems. Of course, there are also many original manuscripts of Li Tannian.
He didn't know what was wrong with him, so he just wanted to stay and take a look at it when he had time, and his mood seemed to feel much better.
Of course, at this moment, in order to prevent Li Tannian from getting involved, he naturally did not leak the manuscripts containing Li Tannian's handwriting.
After he came out with the manuscript, he showed it to County Magistrate Zhou first. Seeing that it was all written by Chen Mo, Magistrate Zhou couldn't help but feel suspicious.
However, at this moment, Lin Ziyan suddenly said again: "I'm afraid you have anticipated this day and copied my poem manuscript for later use! You say this is your manuscript, who can prove it?"
"Lin Ziyan, I have a piece of evidence here that proves that you stole Master Shen's poem manuscript."
Li Tannian smiled, which made Lin Ziyan's heart tremble.
Later, Li Tannian told the story of how the poem manuscript was stolen from his home that day, and the thief was torn off a piece of his white eagle's clothes.
When County Magistrate Zhou heard this, it was all right, and he immediately sent Li Tannian and other officials back to the village to collect evidence, which of course included searching Lin Ziyan's room for the piece of clothing.
To prevent other people from doing anything, Magistrate Zhou issued an order early in the morning that the others were not allowed to move and could only wait quietly in the courtyard.
Lin Ziyan was so shocked that he lost his bearings for a moment, and could only keep shouting: "If you want to inflict crime, if you want to inflict crime!"
However, this time, no one would listen to him.
In the eyes of everyone, the harder he roared, the more guilty he was.
On the other side, after Li Tannian successfully took the government officials back to find the evidence, he quickly took the evidence to the Lin family again.
As a result, the government officials just found the piece of clothing that was missing the material on the shoulders and back, and then they found the poem manuscript that Lin Ziyan brought from Li Tannian's house!
Li Tannian sneered in her heart. At this moment, she was really glad that she had thought carefully and not just thrown away the rag!
When she and other officials brought the evidence to County Magistrate Zhou, Magistrate Zhou was also speechless.
Lin Ziyan took a few steps back, feeling as if his whole body had lost all strength. He could no longer utter a single word of the sophistry he had said before.
However, his mother, Ge Shi, continued to hold injustice for her son.
"My son is the only scholar in the town. With such a big face, Shen Yanzhi actually wronged my son. Mr. Zhou, you must restore my son's innocence!"
The villagers on the side looked at each other in shock, almost not wanting to talk about her.
In this situation, is she blind? Her good son Lin Ziyan silently acquiesced to this matter, and she is still making noises here?
Little Yang moved slowly, trying to pull her golden knot away from this place.
Now, Lin Ziyan was afraid that something was going to happen. If he exposed her, the family knew that he was targeting Lu Sanlang's family at this juncture. Looking back, they didn't know what they would say to her.
However, she had only taken a few steps when the Yamen blocked her way. Seeing the Yamen hanging a big knife on his waist, she licked her lips and felt a sense of fear.
"Lin Ziyan, at this point, what else do you have to say?" County Magistrate Zhou sighed and turned to look at Lin Ziyan.
Lin Ziyan, like a powerful crossbow, resisted stubbornly: "Master Zhou, I am wronged. Xing, maybe, this was prepared by Li Tannian and Shen Yanzhi a long time ago. You see, the handwriting on the poem manuscript is basically the same as what Shen Yanzhi took out. The handwriting is different."
Magistrate Zhou took a closer look and found that it was true!
Although the handwriting on this manuscript looks familiar to Master Shen's handwriting, if you look closely, it is not difficult to see the difference between the two.
"I originally copied this. The handwriting is different. What's so strange about it?" Li Tannian sneered, "Lin Ziyan, you said we wanted to frame you? Is it possible that we knew you would sue Master Shen today? And you? This piece of clothing looks like it has been pecked by birds. You think too highly of yourself, so I won’t go to all this trouble for you."
Lin Ziyan's lips were trembling violently, and he stared at Li Tannian, unable to say a word.
At this moment, County Magistrate Zhou looked at this situation. What else did he not understand?
Lin Ziyan clearly plagiarized a poem written by a descendant of the Shen family. It was also because of his old age that he did not recognize people clearly, and he almost wronged the descendant of the Shen family.
County Magistrate Zhou sighed and didn't want to look at Lin Ziyan again. He only said solemnly: "Shen Housheng, how do you want to deal with this person who plagiarized your poems? Just say it, I will definitely make the decision for you. .”
Shen Yanzhi had never thought about punishing people, so when Magistrate Zhou asked him this question, he was stunned for a moment.
But then, he remembered that Lin Ziyan had been targeting Mrs. Li just now. Although he was a scholar and was extremely generous to others, this time, he really didn't want to let Lin Ziyan go.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Li Tannian say: "Then treat the other person in his own way! Didn't the scholar just say that Master Shen should take off his clothes and go to the streets to bear thorns to plead guilty? It's not Shen's fault. Master, the person who apologizes should naturally be the scholar himself!"
