As she was thinking, the sound of footsteps came from not too far away. She was calm and unperturbed as she saw a few people approaching. The man in the lead was wearing official uniform. Several officials stood beside him and bowed respectfully.
"My lord!"
Master? Wasn't it just the county magistrate?
"My lord, this humble woman has been wrongly accused, this humble woman's tofu is not a problem!"
Seeing that the official had arrived, Su Yu immediately knelt down and prayed non-stop. The county magistrate ordered people to open the cell door and enter, then looked at the two sisters and said, "Who is Su Xingyue?
"I'm Su Jin Se."
"How dare you not kneel when you see our lord?"
She knelt down, "Lord, this humble girl did not kill Uncle Gu, there's no problem with the tofu!"
The county magistrate was a middle-aged man in his forties who ate heartily and looked greedy. He touched his lips and poked his beard, "No problem?" Su Jin Se, this is the piece of paper that the victim's family wants to sue you for, take a look! "
She basically recognized the words on it. More or less, after Uncle Gu ate tofu at her house, he immediately felt dizzy and wanted to go to sleep when he returned home. Aunt Gu prepared dinner and found that Uncle Gu still hadn't woken up yet, so she went to call him. In the end, she found out that he was dead.
"Lord, this humble daughter and little sister were wrongly accused. Yesterday, so many of us ate tofu, yet we were fine. On what basis did Uncle Gu eat tofu to his death?"
The county magistrate looked at her condescendingly. "Your little mouth is quite impressive. The coroner was examined and the villagers died from food poisoning. If it wasn't for your lousy tofu, what else could it have been?"
"Lord, if Uncle Gu had eaten my Immortal Tofu, then he would have been determined to be poisoned to death by our tofu, this is too far-fetched. Besides, since killing has always been a motive since ancient times, I have no enmity with Uncle Gu, so why did I poison him?"
"Of course you have a reason. He is the village's chef, and you have heard that his cooking is not bad. You are jealous that his cooking is better than yours, so you decided to kill him and poisoned him!"
Su Jin Se raised her head and glared at him with a piercing gaze. It looked like this county magistrate was also a unconscious person. She had to think of a way to prove her innocence!
"Lord, you really know how to joke. This humble girl and Uncle Gu have no competition in culinary arts, so where did jealousy come from in killing people?"
"I said you have a motive to kill, so you have one. This girl, should be your sister, Su Yu, right? Su Jin Se, I advise you to admit that earlier. Otherwise, both you and your sister will suffer physical pain!"
"Master, you want to compromise? You have no proof at all, yet you rashly captured someone to frame this commoner and your little sister. Are you not afraid that I will report you to the imperial guard? "
"Huh? "This is Dan Yang County, my territory. You are a murderer, how could you get out of it?"
"You …"
The bereaved families want you to compensate them with 50 taels of silver, as well as the funeral expenses, seven to eight of them, a total of 80 taels of silver. With the money, I can make you pay for it.
"Lord, we were wrongly accused, Lord …"
The county magistrate left arrogantly. Su Jin Se stomped her feet in anger. Did he really treat human life like grass?
"Elder sister, don't beg him. This dog official is famous for his greed. I heard that he and the Second Leader of the Phoenix Stronghold have a good relationship in private!"
"A nest of officials and bandits?"
She suddenly understood one thing. It was impossible to rely on the government to redress your grievances. Now, she had to think of a way to bring her sister out. Since she was a greedy government official, she shouldn't try so hard to redeem their innocence.
Even she couldn't understand who was trying to frame her.
She thought back carefully. Ever since she was reborn in this body, she had never offended anyone.
"Stupid girl, how is it? How does it feel to be imprisoned?"
Suddenly, a provocative voice came from not too far away. An official with a triumphant expression walked in. Su Yu was frightened when she saw Fan Datong and took a few steps back, "Fan, Fan Daniu..."
"It's me, Su Jinsi, Su Yu, you didn't think that you would be waiting for death in the prison, right?"
When Su Jin Se saw Fan Dafu, she immediately understood what was going on. Fan Da Niu must have colluded with this dog official to frame her and Su Yu.
She stood by the railing. "You were the one who poisoned Uncle Gu and framed us sisters?"
Fan Da Niu laughed disdainfully, then took out a few taels of silver from his bag and passed it to the official, "Big brother, you can leave first. I have something to say to this woman."
The official took the silver, weighed it in his hand, and left.
After the official left, Fan Da Niu laughed coldly, seeing that Su Jin Se was staring at him and had fallen into prison, he felt extremely satisfied in his heart, "Su Jin Se, aren't you very powerful? "Come out yourself if you dare. Oh right, you really know how to hit people. Come on, you're going to hit laozi?"
He intentionally brought his face close to Su Jinye with an expression as if he deserved a beating.
Su Jin Se resisted the urge to get angry, "Fan Da Niu, did you kill Uncle Gu?"
"Stupid girl, I'm not afraid to tell you, that's right, Gu Li's business was done by your elder, so what? Now everyone knows, your sister's rotten tofu caused the death of someone, you're the murderer, and before long, you'll be dragged out to behead someone!"
When Fan Da Niu saw the sorrowful look on Su Jin Se's face, he felt even better. Damn it, do you know the consequences of offending me?
Su Jin Se was filled with regret. Her guess was right, it really was him!
"Fan Da Niu, if I knew that you were so vicious, I wouldn't have killed you that day. I should have killed you and fed you to the dogs!"
When Su Yu heard this, she instantly understood. She looked at Su Jinsi in astonishment. "Sis, you …"
No wonder this Fan Da Niu wanted to frame them. Was it because his sister had destroyed his life?
Su Jin Se turned her head and looked at the helpless Su Yu, "Little Sister, I'm sorry, I've implicated you."
Su Yu shook her head and curled up in the corner, not saying a word.
"Continue, aren't you very powerful? "Continue scolding. Beat your father to death. Don't you see what you look like now? Su Jin Se, you caused your father to lose his son and son, your father will also destroy your Su family."
"Fan Da Niu, you bastard!"
"Continue scolding, stinking girl. Soon, your brain will move. When the time comes, you won't have a chance to scold me. However, I don't have time to listen to you scolding. I'm going to eat with the county magistrate!"
"Get back here for grandaunt, Fan Daniu …"
When Su Jinping saw this, he stomped his feet and no longer cursed at her. She was so angry that she had lost her head. Now, she had to think of a way to get out of here.
"Sister, we are going to be wronged to death. What should we do?"
Su Yu was too timid and began to cry again. It was over, it was all Fan Da Niu's doing, what should she do now?
"Don't cry, let me think!"
