Chapter 34 Enemies
"Quiet!" the magistrate shouted impatiently.

"I didn't! This kid was instigated, right?! Lord Magistrate, they must have been bribed by the Jin family!" Li Si refused to admit it.

"Master Magistrate, we have just arrived here. We received the stamped paper and waited to enter the city. We don't know the Jin family at all, so how can we bribe them? We also have no motive to wrong these two gentlemen. We instinctively stayed away, but we saw the unfairness. I still choose to stand up and testify, please tell the magistrate!"

After listening to Shen Xiaoyu's speech, the county magistrate asked his men to submit stamped notes and registration books for verification.

Mr. Jin Sanshao said: "Master County Magistrate, our Jin family is pure and innocent. It is really unfair to be slandered even though we have done good deeds!"

At this time, Shen Xiaoyu accidentally caught a glimpse of a small insect falling out of Li Si's pocket, and she suddenly remembered the conversation between Liu Wu and Li Si last night.

"Master Magistrate, these two people were ordered by others. They are all from the county. Why do they come here to queue up with us to get porridge? This is unreasonable. They must have other purposes."

Third Young Master Jin echoed her: "Yes, they are very suspicious, their purpose is obvious!"

Upon seeing this, Liu Wu immediately explained: "Sir! We just don't have money to eat. I heard that there are kind-hearted people outside the city giving porridge, so we came here."

Li Si hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, sir! We are just trying to get rid of people who stutter, and the Jin family's soup steamed buns are not designated to be eaten only by refugees."

The county magistrate was stroking his beard while listening, and could not conclude the case for a while.

Third Young Master Jin gave Shen Xiaoyu a crazy wink and asked her to say something else.

Shen Xiaoyu gave him a bored look and continued to say to the magistrate: "Sir, the daughter of the people saw these two people last night and heard that they were looking for cockroaches and bugs and plotting to do bad things. Now maybe there are still some criminals hiding in their bodies. A search will reveal the truth!"

The magistrate waved his hand and said: "Come here! Search me!"

The officials immediately searched the clothes of Liu Wu and Li Si, and found several cockroaches and insects at once.

"Who would carry these things with them for no reason? You two clearly framed our Jin family! Who instigated you?" Third Young Master Jin rushed over and grabbed their collars.

The magistrate coughed twice and said, "Who is instructing you?"

"Sir, have mercy! We won't dare next time!" "Sir, have mercy!"

The two knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to beg for mercy, but they did not mention who instigated it.

"Did someone from the Gao family instigate you?!" Young Master Jin probably guessed it.

The Gao family is also engaged in the grain, oil, rice and flour business in Huali County. The two families are notorious enemies and have been feuding and fighting for generations.

"Have mercy, sir! We don't know anything!"

"Forgive me, forgive me!"

Both of them have very dense mouths.They saw that there were people from the Gao family in the crowd who had been watching them. Even if they were beaten to death, they could not confess the Gao family in front of everyone, otherwise their lives would be at risk.

If you don't say anything, the most you can do is get a slap on your butt, and you will be released after being put in jail for three to five days.

But if you offend the Gao family, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Sir, the daughter of the people also heard that they owed money to the gambling house in Huali County, and they came out to frame the Jin family in order to pay back the money. If the people from the gambling house were brought to confront them, they would not be able to defend themselves."

Liu Wu glared at Shen Xiaoyu and said with a desperate struggle: "This little lady, we have no grievances and no grudges. Stop making things up out of thin air and frame us two!"

"What are you arguing about? Let's ask someone from the gambling house to confront you, and you will have nothing to say!" Jin Sanshao waved his entourage away.

The magistrate also sent people to go with the Jin family's entourage.
