Captain Zhang glanced at Zhao Dingguang and said solemnly, "Madam Su and I are not relatives, so why should I avoid her? I grew up in this town, so I know everyone here. Even you. Don't you think I've dealt with you often enough? If you feel the government is being unfair, then resolve the matter privately!"
Captain Zhang was a man of integrity and would not avoid the matter just because of a word from Zhao Dingguang.
Many people came to watch the fun and gathered outside. Someone said, "Captain Zhang is right! Everyone in this town has some friendship with Captain Zhang. He has always been fair and just. We trust him!"
"That's right! If you have anything to say, just tell me now. Captain Zhang will give you justice!"
Compared to Zhao Dingguang, the thug leader who does no good things, everyone would of course choose to stand on the side of Captain Zhang.
The crowd was restless, and Zhao Dingguang had to compromise.
Captain Zhang said, "Alright! You can try them if you want. I'm going to sue these two for harming my brothers. They vomited and had diarrhea after drinking the mung bean soup he sold, and she poisoned the mung bean soup!"
"Do you have any evidence?" asked Captain Zhang.
Zhao Dingguang pointed at Liu Laoliu and said, "He just confessed everything himself."
"I cooked this mung bean soup in a pot every morning and sold it to others without any problem. But I met her in an alley at noon, and the mung bean soup I sold in the afternoon turned out to be poisonous! Who else could it be but her?" Liu Laoliu pointed at Su Liuer excitedly.
Captain Zhang asked Su Liu'er, "Is this true?"
"I did meet him, but I definitely did not do anything to his mung bean soup. This matter has nothing to do with me." Compared to Liu Laoliu's excitement, Su Liuer was very calm.
Captain Zhang looked at Liu Laoliu again and asked, "Did you see her poison your mung bean soup with your own eyes?"
Liu Laoliu had already thought of his words. He said with a sad face:
"If I had seen it, I wouldn't have sold this poisonous mung bean soup! I was so dizzy from the sun that I almost bumped into her. How could I have imagined she did it on purpose? Captain Zhang, I've been selling mung bean soup in this town for years and I've never had any problems. How could such a big thing happen just by chance when I ran into her? You must give me justice!"
Liu Laoliu was crying so hard that he almost knelt down and hugged Captain Zhang's legs.
The miserable appearance moved the onlookers for a moment, and someone said, "What Liu Laoliu said is not wrong. He has been selling mung bean soup in this town for many years."
"Do you mean that it was really this Madam Su who framed Liu Laoliu for the sake of her own shop's business?" someone asked nearby.
The man immediately looked troubled and shook his head. "Madam Su's business is so prosperous, there's no need for her to do such a despicable thing, right? Let's see what Captain Zhang has to say."
Everyone's eyes fell on Captain Zhang.
Captain Zhang must have believed in his heart that Su Liuer would not do such a thing, but what Liu Laoliu said was also true, and his expression became solemn for a moment.
"Liu Laoliu, you concluded that Madam Su poisoned you just because you met her once, without any other evidence. This is not acceptable."
Liu Laoliu immediately said, "She said she didn't poison me, but she has no evidence!"
Su Liu'er found it funny when she heard that. She said coldly, "Now you are insisting that I poisoned you. I don't need any evidence for something I didn't do."
She looked at the crowd behind her and said, "If I say that someone here poisoned your mung bean soup, does that mean everyone here has to produce evidence to prove their innocence? That doesn't make sense!"
