Chapter 501: Chapter 488: Denying Till Death

Of all people, they had to encounter someone who regarded that wretched girl as a lifesaver. Weren’t they just tossing a chicken to a weasel?

Zhao Ziping could be described as thoroughly frustrated.

Zhao Sanke and Zhao Liu, standing off to the side, were also glaring at Zhao Ziping.

There wasn’t a problem to begin with, but because of Zhao Ziping’s excessive chatter, sticking to the others with irrelevant topics, they unnecessarily ended up getting beaten up. They were bruised all over, and it seemed that they would have to ask Zhao Ziping for some compensation for medical treatment once they got back home.

And now, seeing how the three brothers didn’t seem to want to cause more trouble, why weren’t they hightailing it out of there? What were they waiting for?

Zhao Sanke reached over and tugged Zhao Ziping’s sleeve, hinting him to leave quickly.

Zhao Ziping, however, she shook his arm off and got up from the ground, “Fine, you three rascals. I spoke nicely to you, guided you, and you beat the three of us without cause or reason. What kind of logic is that?

“You harm others and then spout nonsense. Do you realize that I am the nephew of Zhao Jiazhuang’s village chief? Be careful, or I might take you to the authorities so that they can properly teach you a lesson.”

Previously, he was afraid that these men lived dangerously, people who had seen bloodshed, so he didn’t dare act impulsively. But now that they knew that these three were decent working people, there was nothing to fear.

“You got beaten up because you were planning to kidnap Manager Zhuang and had ill intentions. We, three brothers, were just eliminating a threat to the people. If we go to the county government office, you might be the one getting punished. We might even get praised by the county magistrates,” Hu San sneered.

“Ill intentions?”

Zhao Ziping laughed coldly, “What evidence do you have that we had ill intentions? We were just wandering around this place, your accusations are baseless. You’re trying to frame us to escape punishment, right? You two agree, right?”

Zhao Sanke and Zhao Liu were initially taken aback, but then quickly nodded their heads, even giving Zhao Ziping a thumbs up.

Denying to the death, what an excellent strategy.

Seeing Zhao Ziping blatantly lying, Hu Er became irritated, “Hey, you brat, so now you’re denying it? You said it yourself just now, were our ears deaf? Moreover, in this freezing winter, the sky is already so dark, yet you three are hanging around near Manager Zhuang’s house. Are you saying you don’t have any ulterior motives?”

“I didn’t say anything like that just now. You were just trying to frame me.”

Zhao Ziping retorted, “As for us hanging around here, who said that we can’t wander around at night? Who has made a rule that we can’t wander around here? I can wander anywhere I want. Even if we were wandering around the County Government Office, the county magistrate wouldn’t be able to find any fault with us.”

Upon hearing this, Hu Er and Hu San looked at each other, at a loss for words.

However, Hu Da, rubbing his chin and staring at Zhao Ziping, only spoke after a long while, “You just said that we have no evidence of your ill intentions or of your plot against Manager Zhuang?”

“Well, that makes things easier. Tell me, what evidence do you have to prove that we caused your injuries?”

Zhao Ziping had not expected this response and was taken aback.
