Yao Wenyuan looked at them one by one and found that they were drawings from He Ji and several drawings imitating those from Yi Ji. In the end, he only produced a drawing from Yi Ji, but it did not have any unique characters.
"How do you explain this?" He looked at Cao the blacksmith.
Cao the blacksmith was sweating profusely. “Sir, sir, listen to me!”
"Hmph, since you can't explain it clearly, you'd better prepare to go to jail with him." Yao Wenyuan snorted coldly.
"Sir, it is true. Shopkeeper He sent a clerk to me some time ago, saying that he wanted to make an Yiji iron wok. I explicitly refused, but Shopkeeper He offered too much... I racked my brains to make the iron wok again, but I couldn't make that special character. In the end, I had to give up and made a Yiji iron wok without the special character and gave it to Shopkeeper He..." Blacksmith Cao told everything he knew.
Shopkeeper He was sweating profusely, but he still stiffened his neck and said, "My Lord, County Magistrate, it's far-fetched to try to convict me based on a piece of blueprint and the testimony of this blacksmith Cao. If you say it was I, Mr. He, who did it, then at least show us that iron pot. Without it, it's not ironclad evidence!"
Tian Qing brought his men to pick up the man and the iron pot and threw them on the ground. "Sir, I caught this man with the iron pot and tried to sell it to another blacksmith, Li."
Yao Wenyuan went forward and saw that it was an iron pot engraved with Yi Ji's name and a waiter wearing He Ji's clothes.
"Manager He, do you have anything else to say?" Yao Wenyuan said.
"You! Didn't I tell you to throw this iron pot into the river or bury it?" When Manager He saw the clerk and the iron pot, his eyes almost fell out.
"Shopkeeper, I'm sorry, my family is really short of money and I'm in urgent need of money. I thought that since you don't want it anymore, I planned to sell it and buy some money for my family..." The clerk said with tears in his eyes.
"Someone come here! Put Manager He in jail and I will make a judgment after reporting to my superiors!" Yao Wenyuan said.
"Mayor! Mayor Wang! I..." When Shopkeeper He heard that he was going to be arrested, he started asking Wang Deli for help the next second.
"Hurry, hurry, shut his mouth and take him away!" Wang Deli immediately ordered people to shut his mouth and take him away.
"Your Excellency the County Magistrate, let's take him back to the prison first." Wang Deli said with his head lowered.
Yao Wenyuan nodded and asked some of his men to go with him.
After they left, the crowd erupted in applause, "Great!"
"Shopkeeper Yi is innocent! He is wrongly accused!"
"I was so scared! I thought I couldn't eat Yiji's food anymore!"
Everyone was talking about their ideas, and the atmosphere was very lively for a while.
