Lin Shu looked at Wu Zuo's clothes. He was also a poor man, so he probably didn't know.
She said to the county magistrate: "Sir, this cake is called Lotus Cake. It is a snack from Sanyuan Restaurant. It is the only one in the county."
"And you can't buy this pastry even if you have money. I want to know how this thing came into the hands of two people who make a living by farming."
Magistrate Tang raised his chin, and Wu Zuo immediately came forward with the things.
She took a slight sniff and said, "The taste is very light, but it does smell like lotus cake."
Lin Shu continued: "This is a pastry that requires spending two hundred taels at Sanyuan Restaurant to get it. How can you have it?"
"Or maybe someone bribed you and asked you to frame me!"
Lin Shu thought for a while. It seemed that everyone who had a problem with her was dead. Who would frame her like this?
Su Rou stood up suddenly, her face flushed, "Nonsense!"
"Then how do you explain this pastry!"
Lin Shu pressed forward step by step, forcing her to retreat continuously.
"This thing... this thing belongs to you. The day before yesterday, you came to the door and pretended to be filial to your mother and father, so you gave me this cake."
"You said you sold the bear last time for three hundred taels of silver. This is what you bought back for everyone to try!"
Su Rou became more and more fluent as she spoke, her eyes widened so much that Lin Shu almost believed it.
How does this person know so much about her?
Magistrate Tang quietly glanced at the curtain on the left. There were two adults guarding it. She was under great pressure.
"Quiet! Someone, go ask the owner of Sanyuan Restaurant!"
After a while, the owner of Sanyuan Restaurant was invited to the hall.
"The common people pay homage to your lord!"
"Well, look at this guy, has he ever bought lotus cake in your restaurant?"
The shopkeeper glanced at Lin Shu and said respectfully to the county magistrate: "Sir, this lady looks familiar. She must have bought it before."
Lin Shu sneered, "What do you mean? If you bought it, you bought it, if you didn't buy it, you didn't buy it. Can't the shopkeeper even remember the faces of the distinguished guests in the store?"
The shopkeeper's smile froze and he spoke again: "Back to the county magistrate, this lady did buy lotus cake once in my restaurant."
"If adults need it, I can retrieve the restaurant's account books for adults to investigate the case."
Magistrate Tang secretly thought it was a pity, it looked pretty good, why would he kill someone just for a man?
"No need, I'm sorry you don't dare to lie to me..."
Behind the curtain.
Xu Chunhuan twitched the corner of his mouth, "Sir, this county magistrate is too..."
She couldn't say the rest of the words, it was a bit hard to hear.
The woman tapped the back of her hand nonchalantly: "It's good to be confused. If it weren't for her being confused, she wouldn't be able to sit in this position. As long as she's loyal, that's fine."
…
Lin Shu's eyes darkened slightly. It seemed that the county magistrate was also a conciliatory person. "Sir, although the common people sold the goods for three hundred taels of silver, I spent twenty taels to buy the bullock cart and another to redeem my own land. Twenty taels, and..."
"This lady, you include this pound of rice, do you want to trick the entire government into running errands for you?"
The shopkeeper continued to speak sadly: "Everyone in the government office performs his or her duties every day. Are we going to ignore the entire county for you and travel all over the county for a lie of yours?"
Lin Shu ignored her words and said to the county magistrate: "Sir, the account books can be falsified, but the money cannot."
"The one hundred taels of silver I gave to my husband is still there. You just need to check the owner of the bullock cart again. I, an ordinary citizen, will never have the money to buy lotus cakes if I spend the two hundred taels." Bullock cart.”
She looked at the shopkeeper of Sanyuan Restaurant: "If I take out a hundred taels of silver notes, what crime should the shopkeeper face for deceiving the county magistrate?"
The shopkeeper didn't panic at all, "Young man, you don't dare to lie."
Magistrate Tang looked at Su Xin at the gate, "Lin Shu's husband, have you brought the banknote?"
Su Xin: "The banknote was left at home by the grassroots. Please send someone to go back with the grassroots to pick it up."
Magistrate Tang ordered two people, "You guys should go for a walk and come back quickly."
"yes!"
No one noticed that there was a hole missing in a small corner of the door, and there seemed to be a person missing there.
…
Su Xin arranged for Ah Da and Ah Er to stay at home. If Shen Shian came back, they would be asked to go to the Sun Family Martial Arts Hall to report the news.
Lin Zheng was sitting on the cart. Just after collecting the vegetables last night, she heard the news that Lin Shu had been taken away.
She was also a little anxious, so she simply waited for them to come back at Lin Shu's door.
Several people came from a distance and politely raised their hands to Lin Zheng, "Is this Lin Shu's home?"
"You are?"
"We are Lin Shu's friends. We are helping her get something to prove her innocence."
Lin Zheng was delighted, "This is her home, I will take you to get it."
She took the initiative to lead people in, and they were rummaging around inside.
"Everyone, can Xiaoshu come back after taking the things?"
"nature."
Ah Da and Ah Er frowned. These people were rummaging around randomly, throwing things around.
"What are you looking for from the master of the house? Didn't the master of the house tell you where it is?"
Everyone ignored him and threw everything out of the closet, even under the bed board and under the desk.
Lin Zheng also realized something was wrong. She stepped forward and stopped someone, "What are you looking for?"
Seeing these people still rummaging around, she got angry and wanted to hit them.
The man knocked Lin Zheng to the ground with just two moves.
Several people looked at each other and shook their heads, "I didn't find it, what should I do? They will be back soon."
"Walk."
When Ah Da and Ah Er saw those people leaving, they hurriedly helped Lin Zheng.
Ada is a mysophobic person and couldn't bear to see such a messy scene, so he had to clean up his things right away.
"Brother, this is a robbery, why don't we report it to the police? This is all evidence."
Lin Zheng held her stomach and said: "Those people are too much. They are like bandits, robbing in broad daylight. These people must be arrested!"
Ah Da grabbed his hand on the ground and quickly opened his clothes. There was a bloody dagger hidden underneath!
"This is……"
Lin Zheng understood instantly, "This is a frame-up! Hurry up, take out the things and bury them!"
Those people had been looking around for a long time, but she didn't see this thing. As soon as they left, this thing appeared out of thin air.
Ada's hand holding the dagger trembled slightly. When he ran to the door, he saw Su Xin not far away and a group of government officials behind her.
He put his hands behind his waist, his calves felt weak, and he couldn't move his legs.
Lin Zheng quickly picked up a basin of water and put the things into the basin. "Go and bury it. I told you to pour water to water the vegetables."
After saying that, she hurriedly ran to greet Su Xin, "Brother-in-law, why are you coming back alone? Where is Xiao Shu?"
"Just now, a large group of people came to ask for something from Xiao Shu. They looked through it and then left. It's strange. Have you met them?"
Su Xin was shocked, her banknote!
Ada returned from pouring water and met two government servants. She shook her legs and prepared to enter the house.
"Stop! Why are you shaking! What did you just do!"
Ada: "Pour some vegetable washing water to water the ground, it's a bit heavy."
The two government officials glanced at him and entered the courtyard.
He looked around carefully and then followed Su Xin into the house.
The house was in a mess, and the two picked up the clothes on the floor with their scabbards.
Lin Zheng broke into a cold sweat after seeing her actions.
The officer stopped and took off the bottom piece of clothing. There was a bloody stain on the clothing that was very conspicuous!
