Upon hearing that Liu Siye had evidence, County Magistrate Zhao Da suddenly showed a look of panic on his face.
At the same time, Zhao Hongwei and Chen Hao in the audience also frowned at this time.
Zhao Hongwei said something in Chen Hao's ear, and Chen Hao suddenly started to sweat.
"This is the manuscript of the storybook Sun Dasheng written by Chen Fan. We just need to compare this manuscript with the manuscript of Water Margin."
"You can tell whether the two books were written by the same person."
Liu Siye took out a manuscript of Sun Dasheng from his arms and said.
"Please also ask Mr. Zhao to bring out Chen Fan's manuscript of Water Margin!"
Liu Siye looked at Zhao Da, but Zhao Da still didn't move after hearing Liu Siye's words.
I saw Zhao Da gritting his teeth and looking a little tangled.
"Handwriting comparison can naturally tell whether there are differences between the two manuscripts, but what if the person doing the comparison has selfish motives?"
"As far as I know, Sir Si Ye admires Chen Fan very much. If Sir Si Ye were to compare, I'm afraid it would be difficult to convince the public!"
When Zhao Da said this, he glanced nervously at Liu Siye, and then continued.
"Why don't we let our county government master do the comparison? He..."
"This handwriting comparison will be done by Master Fang, the imperial master of the dynasty. Master Zhao should not doubt Master Fang's fairness!"
Before County Magistrate Zhao Da finished speaking, Liu Siye interrupted him directly.
At this time Fang Zhengru also stood up.
"Master Zhao, I think I have certain attainments in handwriting comparison. You have no problem with me doing the comparison!"
Fang Zhengru looked at Zhao Da expressionlessly and said.
Hearing this, cold sweat started to flow from Zhao Da's head.
"No...no objection."
Zhao Da looked at Fang Zhengru nervously and said.
Facing Fang Zhengru, Zhao Da did not dare to look at him.
You must know that Fang Zhengru is not only a great scholar of the generation, but also the emperor's mentor, and has an extraordinary relationship with the emperor.
If he said a word in front of the emperor, it might change Zhao Da's fate.
Therefore, Zhao Da naturally did not dare to make mistakes when facing Fang Zhengru.
At this time, Liu Siye handed the two manuscripts to Fang Zhengru, and Fang Zhengru directly compared them on the spot.
When Zhao Da on the side saw this, his cold sweat immediately flowed down like a stream.
Soon a circle of water stains appeared on the ground around Zhao Da.
At this time, Zhao Da subconsciously looked at Zhao Hongwei and Chen Hao in the audience, and saw that their situation was no better than him at this time.
The two of them were so nervous that their faces turned pale.
The scholars in the audience held their breath at this time, for fear of disturbing Fang Zhengru.
Time passed little by little, Fang Zhengru was still competing seriously, but Zhao Da was sweating faster at this time.
The legs of Zhao Hongwei and Chen Hao in the audience were shaking at this time, as if they would fall down at any time.
The water stains on the ground around him are almost enough to support fish.
"These two books were not written by the same person."
I don’t know how long it took, but to Zhao Da, Zhao Hongwei and Chen Hao, it seemed like centuries had passed.
Fang Zhengru put down the two manuscripts in his hands and said.
As soon as Fang Zhengru said these words, Zhao Da's pupils dilated instantly.
Chen Fan also breathed a sigh of relief.
"There are clear differences in the handwriting of the two manuscripts."
"In Sun Dasheng's manuscript, the strokes are very even. In the Water Margin manuscript, there are obvious breaks in the strokes."
"Obviously the two have different writing habits, so I conclude that the two manuscripts are not from the same person."
Fang Zhengru said with confidence.
"I just said that Mr. Chen was unjustly accused. Fortunately, Mr. Si Ye and Mr. Fang arrived in time, otherwise Mr. Chen would have been wronged and died."
"Now that we've figured it out, let's release him quickly."
"Let him go."
…
The scholars below shouted loudly.
Zhao Da on the stage suddenly became a little lost, and his lips trembled a little.
Fang Zhengru looked at the enthusiastic scholars in the audience and suddenly showed curiosity.
No one noticed that Chen Hao and Zhao Hongwei in the audience sat down on the ground in despair.
"Mr. Zhao, the facts are clear. Why don't you let me go quickly?"
Liu Siye said to Zhao Da with a cold face.
Hearing this, Zhao Da did not move, his mind was running at high speed, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"We can't release him yet."
Zhao Da said suddenly.
"Master Zhao, don't you believe the results of my determination?"
As soon as Zhao Da finished speaking, Fang Zhengru immediately said dissatisfied.
He was a majestic imperial master, how could he let a small county magistrate question him?
"Master Fang misunderstood, so the official naturally believed Master Fang."
Zhao Da said quickly.
Hearing this, everyone present showed doubts. Since they believed in Fang Zhengru's determination, why didn't they let him go?
"How can we be sure that this manuscript written by Sun Dasheng was written by Chen Fan?"
"This book has sold a lot. What if someone deliberately wrote the manuscript to save Chen Fan?"
Zhao Da said seriously.
These words made Liu Siye not know what to say for a moment.
The scholars below also became quiet.
When Zhao Da saw this, a sneer suddenly appeared on his lips.
Zhao Hongwei and Chen Hao, who had collapsed on the ground, stood up again at this time.
I had to secretly say that ginger is still hotter when old!
"This manuscript was given to me by Chen Fan himself. I can prove that it was written by Chen Fan."
At this moment, a charming woman suddenly stood up and said.
As soon as this woman stood up, she immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
Seeing this woman's face, one word appeared in everyone's mind, and that was charming.
This charming woman is none other than Su Wenqi.
The manuscript of Sun Dasheng in Liu Siye's hand was given to Liu Siye by her.
Chen Fan looked at Su Wenqi with complicated eyes at this time.
Seeing the woman who suddenly appeared, Zhao Da didn't have any appreciation in his eyes at this time, but only anger.
"Who are you? What evidence is there to prove that this manuscript was written by Chen Fan?"
Zhao Da asked with a cold face.
Seeing Zhao Da's stern expression, Su Wenqi had a hint of fear in her eyes, but she did not flinch.
"Back to Mr. Zhao, the girl's name is Su Wenqi. She is Chen Fan's... aunt."
"This manuscript of Sun Dasheng was given to me by Chen Fan at that time."
After Su Wenqi said this, her cheeks immediately turned red, making her look even more charming.
"You are her aunt, why did she send you this manuscript?"
Zhao Da asked unwillingly.
Hearing this, Su Wenqi's cheeks turned redder obviously, and there was a hint of panic in her eyes.
"The daughter of the people has a daughter. She likes Chen Fan's story books very much, so this book was given by Chen Fan to the daughter of the people."
Su Wenqi quickly explained.
"You said that Chen Fan gave this book to your daughter. Do you have any evidence to prove it?"
Zhao Da asked rhetorically.
When Su Wenqi heard this, she could only shake her head silently.
Because there was no third person present when Chen Fan gave her this manuscript.
When Zhao Da saw this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Since there is no evidence, how can you prove that this manuscript was written by Chen Fan?"
"I now suspect that you perjured yourself in order to save Chen Fan."
"Are you Chen Fan's accomplice?"
At this moment, Zhao Da suddenly said loudly.
