After farming, I opened a family tree

The county government arrived at Shenjia Village on horseback at noon.

The yamen runner was wearing a uniform and had a big knife on his waist. He asked people at the village entrance and went straight to Shen Tang's house.

"But Shen Tang, the magistrate has ordered you to come with me to the yamen immediately!"

Shen Tang looked at the yamen runner in front of him and was a little unable to react for a moment.

"Your Excellency has had a long journey. Why don't you have a cup of hot tea first? I'll change my clothes and go with you."

Shen Tang pulled the yamen runner and shook his sleeves. In a few breaths, a piece of silver was in the runner's palm.

Fortunately, since she became rich, she has developed the habit of carrying some small change with her.

Chen Hao looked at the feel of the money in his palm and felt its weight. It was half a tael of silver, almost as much as his monthly salary.

"Your cousin said you stole his poems."

Chen Hao lowered his voice.

"Ahem, go quickly, don't keep me waiting, the master is still waiting."

"Okay, okay, sir, have a cup of tea first! Mother, give sir a cup of hot tea."

Liu and the others were frightened by the yamen runners and tremblingly handed over a cup of tea.

We are all ordinary people. We have never seen yamen runners come to our door!

"Sir, I wonder what mistake I made?"

Although Liu was afraid, she couldn't help but ask.

"The county magistrate has something to ask Shen Tang."

Looking at Yin Zi's face, Chen Hao still said something.

"Alright, sir, let's go."

"Wanwan, come with me. Don't worry, everything will be fine. I'll take care of everything."

Although Qin Wanwan was also afraid, Shen Tang's words had a magical power that made her inexplicably trust him.

Chen Hao came on horseback, so Shen Tang and Qin Wanwan called for an ox cart.

As soon as the three of them left Shenjia Village, the whole village was in an uproar.

"Dashan, I'm worried about Tangtang, let's go."

Liu and Shen Dashan looked at their daughter and spoke anxiously.

"Dahe, let's go take a look too! Shen Tang has been taken away by the police."

Next door, Wang also brought back the news.

Shen Dahe was a person who liked to join in the fun, and since it involved the first wife, he made the decision immediately.

Shen Tang sat on the ox cart without saying a word, which made Chen Hao curious.

This girl looked to be no more than ten years old, and had not yet reached marriage age. When she was summoned by the officials, there was not a trace of fear on her face.

As for the younger one, although there was nervousness and fear on his face, he was able to hold it in.

As for Yougen, the coachman, he didn't even dare to breathe. If he hadn't been given fifty cents, he really wouldn't have accepted the order.

The four of them were silent all the way. Perhaps because the official was with them, Yougen drove the car very fast and soon arrived at the county government office.

"You are Shen Tang. Shen Wen said you stole her poems. Do you admit it?"

County Magistrate Lin looked at Shen Tang, who was quite smart and pretty, and the little girl who followed her also looked very gentle.

You really can't judge a person by his appearance. It's amazing that a girl like this would steal.

"In reply to your Excellency's words, I have never stolen anything."

"Did you write this poem?"

"No, sir."

When Shen Wen heard this, a look of joy appeared on his face.

God help me too!

Just as Magistrate Lin was about to slam the table, he heard Shen Tang say,

"But this poem wasn't written by Shen Wen either!"

"Nonsense! You've even admitted that you didn't write this poem. Is there anyone else in your family who can read and write besides you?"

A crack immediately appeared on Shen Wen's face, and he immediately retorted loudly.

"If you wrote it, you have the first half."

"Hmph, you stole it because you saw that I hadn't finished the whole poem. I've already told you the reason why I only wrote half of it."

"Yes, Shen Wen did explain the reason. Shen Tang, Shen Wen doesn't have a complete poem, do you have one?"

County Magistrate Lin heard the hidden meaning in Shen Tang's words.

"My Lord, I didn't write these poems, but I stumbled upon them. I only picked out the best line from them."

"When I was young and stupid for a while, I accidentally met an old man who read these poems to me. He said he had obtained them by chance. I don't know why, but although I have forgotten most of the other things, these things have become clearer and clearer as I grow older."

"I only started learning last year, so I asked my cousin Wanwan to read these poems to me while she copied them down by hand and compiled them into a collection."

As Shen Tang spoke, he took out a collection of poems from his arms. Chen Hao immediately stepped forward, took it away and handed it to County Magistrate Lin.

County Magistrate Lin took it and opened the first page.

This handwriting really looks like it was written by a girl.

The more I look at it, the more frightened I become!

this! this! this!

County Magistrate Lin was so shocked that he was speechless.

"Of all the flowers that have fallen, only the flower blooms... sparse shadows slant across the shallow water... no need for sandalwood boards or golden cups." - Lin Bu

County Magistrate Lin quickly flipped through the pages at the back.

Every single one of them has it, and they all match!

"Shen Tang, are Lin Bu, Lu You, Wang Anshi, etc. the authors of these poems and essays?"

"Yes, sir!"

"These are all truly talented people! I've been studying for twenty years now, and I've never heard of these gentlemen. They must be hermits and great minds!"

When Shen Tang heard what County Magistrate Lin said, she knew that County Magistrate Lin had believed her.

"Sir, it is not my fault to use these poems for profit. I accept the punishment and am willing to print a thousand copies of the collection and give them away free of charge to various academies!"

“Great goodness!!”

In this era, these poems can be said to be unique. Not to mention that each one is a masterpiece, although they all seem to be about plum blossoms, he can also say that this is a unique collection of poems!

It is really gratifying that Shen Tang is willing to share.

"I just have a request, and I hope you will agree to it."

"Tell me now!"

"I am young and don't know the academy or the principals. So after the poetry collection is printed, I hope you can help send it to various academies to benefit the students. I know this is troublesome, so please agree to my request."

"Okay! I agree!"

County Magistrate Lin immediately agreed.

Shen Tang looked at County Magistrate Lin who was sitting at the top of the table, and thought that he should be satisfied with this generous gift.

Thousands of poetry collections were given to the academy, which could also make copies on its own, but the primary resources were in the hands of County Magistrate Lin.

It is very popular in the market now, and is sent out by students in academies, families of poetry and etiquette, and even superiors. County Magistrate Lin can send it out first-hand.

County Magistrate Lin went to see him off, so naturally he earned the favor. All the students in the world would remember the favor done by County Magistrate Lin, so he was naturally willing to accept it.

Moreover, after this incident, Tangji's reputation in Qingshan Town has been made known. A collection of poems in exchange for a county magistrate to advertise for you, she is sure to make money!

"As for those of you who falsely accused Shen Tang, take it and see for yourselves!"

County Magistrate Lin looked at the students in the hall and snorted coldly.

Chen Hao handed the collection of poems to Shen Wen and others.

Shen Wen quickly flipped through the pages.

"Impossible, impossible, this is what I wrote! Shen Tang, you paid someone to continue writing it for you, right? It must be! My Lord, Shen Tang must have hired someone to write it for you!"

The few people following behind Shen Wen came over to take a look, and then looked at Shen Wen's appearance, and finally reacted.

"Shen Wen, how dare you lie to us!"

"Silence! I declare that Tangji is innocent. You must pay the price and make a public apology. As for Shen Wen, you falsely accused a relative and exploited a classmate's relationship. You will be punished with twenty lashes of the cane and expelled from the imperial examinations for ten years of reflection."

"My lord, you must not do that, my lord!"

The crowd was suddenly broken and someone squeezed in.
