Chapter 228: Clinging to the Su Family
"Your Majesty, I have no evidence, but Yang Dunzi wanted to buy my horse at the last market. He even circled around my horse, picking and choosing, for several times. By the time I got home, my horse was already sick." Old Man Tian kowtowed and shouted, as if he had risked everything. "At the market, as soon as I brought my horse to the market, he came over with a look of gloating, as if he had known that my horse would get sick..."
Old Man Tian blurted out all his suspicions.
Yang Dunzi had barely relaxed when he became nervous again.
"Old man Tian, don't try to accuse good people! I, I..."
Yang Dunzi stuttered.
County Magistrate Zheng looked at Yang Dunzi fiercely.
"How about you? If so, you are a serious suspect! Come, take this suspect back to the yamen and interrogate him thoroughly!"
"Yes, sir!"
Su Laoer strode over and was about to reach out to pick up Yang Dunzi.
Yang Dunzi screamed in fright.
"Sir! I'm innocent! I know who did it! It was him!"
Yang Dunzi pointed at Mr. Jin Shanren.
"I saw it with my own eyes. It was him who inserted the poison needle into the horse's body!"
Jin Shanren's face turned pale, and he said urgently, "Yang Dunzi, stop making random accusations! You harbor evil intentions and have done no good. Now that the truth has been exposed, you're actually dreaming of using this to get away with it. You're simply daydreaming! The county magistrate is very discerning and will definitely not be fooled by a bunch of villains like you!"
Mr. Jin's words not only showed that Yang Dunzi was not a good person, but also praised County Magistrate Zheng, which was very thoughtful.
County Magistrate Zheng was very pleased with Mr. Jin's compliments. Seeing that Mr. Jin was well-dressed and looked kind, he couldn't help but think that Yang Dunzi was making unfounded accusations.
After saying this, Mr. Jin knelt down and pleaded with County Magistrate Zheng, "Please, sir, please see clearly and give me justice!"
Magistrate Zheng looked at Yang Dunzi and said angrily, "You are wantonly framing others and trying to escape responsibility. This is an even greater crime!"
The corners of Xiao Tangbao's mouth twitched. Did this county magistrate really judge cases with his mouth?
Where's the evidence? Why not search for it?
"Sir! I'm not lying!" Yang Dunzi said anxiously, his face flushed. "At the last market, I saw with my own eyes that Mr. Jin pretended to check on the horses and then inserted a poison needle into their bodies. That's why I knew in advance that Old Man Tian's horse was sick..."
"Yang Dunzi! You're talking nonsense! Jin has always been a kind and upright person. He would never do such a despicable thing!"
"Mr. Jin, come on! You're known as a great philanthropist, isn't it because you buy sick animals at the livestock market?"
When Yang Dunzi said this, he let out a loud "Pooh!"
He added, "Little do you know that the animals you bought were poisoned by you. Then you bought them back, detoxified them, and sold them at a high price. You are the most vicious person!"
After hearing what Yang Dunzi said, Mr. Jin Shanren was so angry that his face turned red and he shouted, "Yang Dunzi, you are slandering me!"
"Every word I say is true!" Yang Dunzi shouted, "Everyone, I'm sure you also have relatives, friends, or acquaintances in the village. After meeting Mr. Jin, their livestock suddenly became sick, and in the end they had no choice but to sell them to him at a low price..."
"Aren't you curious about what happened to those sick animals?"
"Humph! To tell you the truth, after those animals were taken back by Mr. Jin, they were full of life in just a few days, and then he sold them at a high price..."
As soon as Yang Dunzi finished speaking, someone in the crowd exclaimed "Huh?"
"I remember my cousin said that his family's cow was sold to Mr. Jin Shanren. His cow was originally fine, but it just went to the market once and fell ill after returning. Later, he saw his family's cow plowing the fields in the next village..."
"We also sold our mule to Mr. Jin Shanren. It was fine before, but it went to the livestock market..."
…
You don’t know until you hear it, and you’ll be shocked when you hear it.
It turns out that this kind of thing has happened quite a few times.
At this point, almost everyone noticed something was wrong.
County Magistrate Zheng immediately directed his anger towards Mr. Jin.
"What else do you have to say? Such vicious things are simply outrageous and condemned by both humans and gods!" County Magistrate Zheng shouted angrily.
"Sir, I'm innocent!" Jin Shanren cried out in injustice. "I uphold good intentions, helping the poor and the weak, and rescuing livestock, but I didn't expect to be misunderstood like this. I ask myself, who will dare to do good deeds and accumulate virtue in the future?"
When Mr. Jin Shanren said this, he suddenly turned around and looked at Su Xiaoliu - the magnet in his hand.
It can be said that everything that happened today was caused by this magnet.
"If we're talking about suspicion, then this young man went to the market to buy livestock, but he brought a magnet with him. Isn't that also suspicious? Such magnets are definitely hard to come by in ordinary households. Only a few doctors with superb medical skills have them..."
In order to get himself out of trouble, Mr. Jin Shan turned his attention to the Su family in a hurry.
As soon as Mr. Jin Shan finished speaking, people's eyes turned to Su Xiaoliu.
I have to say that what Mr. Jin said makes sense.
Many people present did not know about the magical thing called magnet.
What's more, it was allowed to be played with by a teenager.
Su Xiaoliu became the center of attention and shouted angrily, "Nonsense! My sister just picked up this magnet!"
Everyone: “…”
His eyes became more suspicious.
This is such a coincidence.
It's such a coincidence that it's hard to believe.
Others didn't believe it, but County Magistrate Zheng did.
As soon as he heard that it was Xiao Tangbao who picked it up, he immediately felt that it was very reasonable.
"You bold and unruly people! Stop making random accusations!" Magistrate Zheng shouted angrily.
"Your Excellency, I would never dare to accuse anyone else," said Mr. Jin sadly. "I believe that Your Excellency will not shield the suspect just because you know this family. You will definitely sacrifice your own family for the greater good and uphold justice for the people!"
After Mr. Jin finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
It really cost a lot of money.
Soon, his forehead became swollen.
"Please, sir, please seek justice for me!"
Mr. Jin kowtowed and begged in a sad voice with his red and swollen forehead.
People looked at Jin Shanren with sympathy.
The look he gave the Su family was filled with suspicion.
There was something wrong with the look he gave County Magistrate Zheng.
County Magistrate Zheng was both annoyed and furious, and was actually detained by Mr. Jin's words.
Whenever he spoke for the Su family, it seemed like he was abusing his power and bending the law.
Su Xiaoliu was so angry that he waved his fist and was about to beat Jin Shanren.
Old Man Su and his son were so angry that their faces turned blue.
This is simply putting the blame on their family.
Little Tangbao said in a childish voice, "Sir, before you bite someone, don't you think about the fact that we bought the horse for twelve taels of silver, not the six taels you wanted to pay."
Old man Su slapped his forehead. He was so angry that he forgot this point.
I bought the horse myself, but I didn't get any bargain at all.
Is it worth taking the blame?
