Han Luoxue wasn't in a hurry and asked calmly.
"I……"
“I saw it.”
Seeing that Han Feng was stumped by the question, Han Liu hurriedly spoke up.
"Oh, when? Where did you see it? Are there any other eyewitnesses?"
"I... based on what I saw myself, you rode out on horseback."
"The day before yesterday, or the day before that."
"Really? But I've been at home the whole time lately. Besides, are you sure you saw me riding out on horseback to sell grain?"
Han Liu nodded hastily, while Han Luoxue sneered:
"That's strange. I'm pregnant, and my family won't let me ride a horse. I haven't even gone out in the last few days. I'm just curious, who exactly did you see?"
"I... am either you or Han Yuchen."
"Hey, you're not a good witness. You were so sure it was me just now, but now it's Han Yuchen. If I could prove that Han Yuchen hasn't gone out recently, would you say it was my father who went out?"
"you……"
When Han Luoxue asked her that question, Han Liu's face turned bright red.
He hadn't seen it either; he just didn't want Han Luoxue to have an easy time.
"Magistrate Zhu, do you really think we can trust this witness's words? If you can use my opinion as evidence, then I'd think you're plotting a rebellion!"
"You...Han Luoxue, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"I didn't say anything. Aren't you the one colluding with the Crown Prince? Don't tell me that today's events were also instigated by the Crown Prince?"
Magistrate Zhu's expression changed visibly, and Han Luoxue's heart skipped a beat. This Crown Prince was disgusting; he couldn't even give people a good day during the New Year.
What if she gets itchy fingers and wants to punch someone if she gets the chance?
"I was appointed by the Emperor himself, how could I possibly collude with the Crown Prince? However, the Crown Prince's will is the Emperor's will. Today, I've come for that thousand catties of grain. Han Luoxue, you say you didn't take that thousand catties of grain, do you dare let me see your storeroom?"
Haha, so you wanted to see the warehouse.
Han Luoxue didn't care, but why did she let them see it?
"No. You have no evidence, so why should you search my warehouse? Besides, I have plenty of stuff in my warehouse. After all, other counties deliver their grain on time. They're not as shameless as Wuling Town."
Han Luoxue is openly insulting someone.
Magistrate Zhu wished he could give Han Luoxue a good beating, but what about the capital...?
"It's just to clear up any suspicion."
Magistrate Zhu said solemnly, "Han Luoxue, are you feeling guilty?"
"Do I really need to use reverse psychology?" Han Luoxue smiled indifferently.
"If you have evidence, you're welcome to come anytime. If you don't, I won't play along."
"Exactly, they have no evidence, so why should they look into our warehouse?"
Yunniang retorted.
Han Yuchen stood beside Han Luoxue, silently supporting her.
This Magistrate Zhu... he's really courting death!
What's even more foolish of him is that when he was talking about his relationship with the Crown Prince, he didn't refute it.
They even said that the Crown Prince's meaning was the Emperor's meaning...
Han Yuchen's lips curled into a mocking smile. He wondered how the person who heard those words would feel.
It seems like it should be pretty good, right?
That was, after all, his most beloved son, without exception.
"Han Luoxue, I suspect you are involved in the missing thousand catties of grain, so I am searching your warehouse. This is just to inform you."
Magistrate Zhu is too lazy to pretend anymore.
"I disagree without evidence."
"Wow, why is it so lively during the Chinese New Year?"
Amidst a hearty laugh, a sprightly old man walked in.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Han Luoxue's pupils dilated. Why was this old general here too?
Beside him was a young man; wasn't that Zhou Yuan?
Why did everyone come all over during the Chinese New Year?
Han Luoxue was speechless, but when she thought of the great deity in the room, she seemed to understand something.
You probably don't trust that person, right?
But their family...
Although the house has rooms and bedding, it's too simple for these people to sleep in.
Considering there's still cotton and cotton cloth in the space, I'll make a few new quilts later.
Wow, I didn't expect the first Chinese New Year to be so lively.
Grandpa, what brings you here?
Upon seeing the old man, Han Luoxue smiled.
I missed you, so I came to visit your place.
The old general looked at the officers and soldiers in the courtyard and said in surprise:
What's going on?
Although he was dressed in plain clothes, his imposing presence was still there, and Magistrate Zhu felt inexplicably afraid when he saw him.
"Oh, them..."
Han Luoxue briefly explained the situation, and the old general sneered upon hearing it:
"Your judgment is truly amazing. So it turns out that you can solve anything just by thinking it is right?"
Upon hearing this, Magistrate Zhu deliberately straightened his back:
"I am only here to investigate a case, and it is reasonable for me to have doubts..."
“I suspect you of abusing your power for personal gain, and that is a reasonable suspicion.”
"You audacious scoundrel! When have I ever been corrupt or abused my power?" Magistrate Zhu shouted sternly.
"As you say, it's just reasonable suspicion, isn't it?"
The old general glanced at him coldly, and Magistrate Zhu was so frightened that he shrank back.
Han Yuchen alone is terrifying enough, but this newcomer is even more terrifying.
"Do either of you witnesses have any other testimony?"
After speaking to Magistrate Zhu, the old general looked at Han Liu and Han Feng.
"I……"
"If not, then it's a deliberate frame-up. We won't detain anyone in jail for now, but we can give them thirty or fifty lashes."
"I have!"
Upon hearing that he might be punished with a cane, Han Liu was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud. He trembled as he kowtowed and shouted:
“I know who broke the legs of the three sons of the Li family. It was her, Han Luoyu. I saw it with my own eyes.”
When Han Luoyu was suddenly called out, her face turned pale instantly.
She felt relieved at the time, but she also felt uneasy.
She was relieved when her sister told her that she had taken care of the stone.
She looked carefully at the time and didn't see anyone around.
But now...
Han Luoyu's body couldn't help but tremble.
Just as she was filled with worry, a large hand grasped her small hand, and Han Luoxue's soft, deep voice suddenly rang in her ears:
"You're saying my sister did it? Are those three grown men dead? How could my little sister, a girl, possibly beat them?"
"They...they were unconscious!"
Han Liu is also very scared now; he doesn't want to be punished.
"Heh, even if they're unconscious, how much pain does it take to have their legs broken? Didn't they wake up?"
Han Luoxue's voice remained calm.
"I...I don't know. Right, wasn't she following Dr. Xu to get medical treatment? She must have given them medicine."
Han Liu wasn't stupid, it's just a pity he didn't use his talents for anything worthwhile.
"Dr. Xu, did you give my sister any drugs?"
It's impossible to completely wake someone up unless a sleeping potion is used.
