The past life is cold and the present life is warm

Chapter 231 Denial
Zhou Ziyao heard what Master Cai said.My heart became more excited.Although these words were written by him.But he deliberately imitated many people's fonts for fear of being discovered by others.There are even the fonts of the great Confucians of the dynasty.So if there is a comparison, then this is definitely not the book he wrote.In this way, his stigma can be cleared.He immediately nodded in agreement.

Seeing that he agreed, Master Cai nodded to the clerk again.The clerk took out one or two pieces of paper from the official document and handed it to Master Cai.Master Cai handed the two pieces of paper to Zhou Ziyao and said, "Young master Zhou, please write and have a look. This is you. The article you made during the scientific examination."

At this moment, Zhou Ziyao's excited hands were trembling a little.He carefully looked at the two pieces of paper, nodded vigorously and said to Mr. Cai: "Yes, I wrote this article."

Master Cai nodded and said to shopkeeper Wang: "Then trouble the shopkeeper to get some original manuscripts of the story book, so that we can compare them."

Shopkeeper Wang didn't refuse, turned around and went to the backyard.He quickly took a stack of words and returned the notebook.The two yamen servants who came with him hurried forward, each of them took several children's books and presented them to Master Cai.Master Cai picked up a book and flipped through it, then compared it with the article he showed Zhou Ziyao just now.

Seeing this, Master Cai frowned unconsciously.He looked up at Zhou Ziyao.Then turned to look at the document.Seeing Master Cai's expression, the clerk knew that Master Cai might have discovered something strange.So I also took a book of stories and went to Master Cai, and compared Zhou Ziyao's article with Master Cai.

Master Cai also glanced at the notebook in the clerk's hand at this time, and then looked at the book in his own hand.Then he put down the story book he was reading now, picked up another one from the other side, and flipped through it, looking like he wanted to prove something.

After flipping through it, Master Cai frowned even tighter.After the document was compared, he couldn't help but frown, and he raised his eyes to look at Master Cai.He found that Master Cai was also looking at him.Master Cai nodded at him, so both of them put down their drawing books.He looked at Shopkeeper Wang and Zhou Ziyao.The two of them arched their hands, Master Cai said first, "Please don't worry, you two. We found something strange, and I need to discuss it with the secretary."

After speaking, Master Cai took the documents and walked to a place where there was no one on the side of the gate, and discussed in a low voice.The document opened his mouth first and said, "Did your lord also find out? These picture books are all written by deliberately imitating the scripts of many famous masters in our Daji country. There are even famous masters from the previous dynasty. And this person should have a lot of calligraphy and painting skills." .”

Master Cai nodded and glanced at Zhou Ziyao secretly. When he found that Zhou Ziyao was looking at them intently, he whispered to the clerk: "Although this script is written in a different font from everyone else, it is a copy after all. It is not easy to write. Not so smooth and natural. So there are too many deliberate traces. But the copyer did not realize that there is no way to change his subconscious habit of writing. Unless he is a master of imitation, he can hide his subconscious use Pen habits. If it is just an ordinary person with some attainments in calligraphy and painting, it will be easy to be exposed even if he imitates."

The clerk also glanced at Zhou Ziyao and nodded in agreement: "That's right, so I compared it with Zhou Ziyao's article. The two people's pen habits are completely consistent. And the handwriting he used when writing the article is quite smooth. , that is to say, when he wrote the exam articles, he used his own customary fonts. So I think that these picture books should have been written by Zhou Ziyao himself."

Master Cai took a deep breath, nodded and said, "I think so too. But from what I can see now, Zhou Ziyao doesn't seem to want to admit it at all. If we say that the handwriting is indeed from the same person, He may also say that we made up the slander. He may even say that we may be in the same group as Ruiwenzhai. In my next thought, today King Huaisi invited Mr. Wen to Weixianju to give lectures on scriptures and studies to the students. It is not as good as us Please come to Mr. Wen, watch this storybook and article one or two. This can be more convincing. But this shopkeeper is not the same as Zhou Ziyao.”

The clerk hesitated for a moment, took a breath and looked at Master Cai and said, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate. After all, Mr. Wen is one of the great Confucian scholars in our great empire. I always feel a bit a little bit tired of bothering him for such a trivial matter." I'm sorry."

Mr. Cai waved his hands and said with a smile: "This statement is wrong. Copying and compiling books are the work of literati. What's more, I have also read a few scripts. There is one that I think is very likely to be an imitation. Mr.'s pen and ink. This directly involves the old man himself. And I suspect that Zhou Ziyao may use this font as an excuse. He said that the book was not written by him. If you look at it from his words, Isn’t this book written by Mr. Wen? It is appropriate to ask Mr. Wen to prove his innocence. Although the shopkeeper and Zhou Ziyao did not appeal this time, they invited us here as witnesses. Probably because they didn’t want to make trouble Big. If we can't solve it this time, we will probably have to sue Ying Tianfu in the end. We will be the ones who will be in trouble then. So it's better to solve it once."

Seeing what Master Cai said, the secretary thought about it for a while, and it seemed to make sense, so he also nodded.Master Cai didn't have much objection when he saw the document, so he waved at the two yamen servants.Two yamen servants hurried forward.At this time, not only Zhou Ziyao was a little anxious, but even the onlookers around him became anxious.

Someone even urged: "My lord, how do you see what's going on? Did the master Juren write this book?"

"Yes, isn't it?"

Master Cai said loudly after giving instructions to one of the yamen servants: "Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient. I will give you an answer here." After speaking, he signaled the yamen servant to go back quickly.The yamen servant handed over the notebook in his hand to another yamen servant and left Ruiwenzhai quickly.

A group of people around stretched their necks.He looked at the yamen servant curiously.Master Cai, the document, and the remaining yamen servant returned to the center of the lobby with the book of words and Zhou Ziyao's article.Zhou Ziyao gritted his teeth and stared at the article he had written in the clerk's hand, his heart raised in his throat.

The clerk said loudly: "After careful observation and discussion with Mr. Cai, we believe that at least these scriptures brought out by the shopkeeper were indeed written by Mr. Zhou."

The people around instantly became lively.The blood in Zhou Ziyao's whole body instantly cooled down.He felt his hands and feet were cold, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Impossible, it's impossible that I didn't write these scripts." He couldn't admit it, he absolutely couldn't admit it.If he really admits that he wrote it, he will really be finished.He couldn't even admit it.
