C149 (2/2)

In the face of criticism, Su Zhi kept her head high and chest puffed up, not showing any signs of abnormal behavior.

Hua Manlou's operation was the clearest to her. She would not touch upon the laws of the Wei Dynasty in any aspect.

They hadn't done anything bad, and even if they went to the government, they wouldn't be afraid.

But these rumors were bound to be false. I'm afraid that after this incident, the flow of customers will be greatly reduced.

He was taken all the way to the yamen, but the government official did not show his face. The lead constable quickly locked Su Zhi up in the dungeon, then left after clapping his hands.

”Lord Guan, can I see your lord?”

”Be honest and see you when you are summoned.”

The constable locked the cell and left quickly.

”Little Su!”

In the cell opposite, there were three men in strange clothes.

Su Zhi recognized Ai Ai Hui and the others at a glance.

”What's going on with all of you? How could you kill someone?”

A'ai hurriedly waved his hand to defend himself. ”We did not. Yesterday, we left the shop and went to another place to look, wanting to learn more about the local customs and customs of the Great Wei. At night, I left for the guesthouse by the way of Xuancheng's government office to stay at night, but somehow, I was caught and brought in. ”

No murder?

Su Zhi paused slightly and continued asking, ”Are you sure you didn't dare to violate the law?”

”Indeed not. When we arrived at the inn, it was already very late. The three of us huddled together in a room, and when we heard movement outside, we went out to look. There was a person lying on the ground, and when we went up to check, he was already dead. Then, some officials rushed in and insisted that we were the ones who did it.

In other words, Ai Hui's group was framed?

”How long has it been since you guys last saw the dead and then the soldiers barged in?”

”We had just decided that the man was dead when the soldiers came in. We just happened to bump into each other.”

Su Zhi was certain that this had been set long ago. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?

This is our first time in the Imperial City and we've already encountered such a situation. If we can't get rid of the suspicion, how can we go back? Let alone doing business, they might even die in a foreign land if not for their bodies and bodies. ”

”Don't worry, we can get out. Since it wasn't us who did it, we shouldn't go down on our laurels. We must find out everything.”

Even though those words were said, the few of them looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Connecting her with what had happened before and after, Su Zhi felt that she had not been implicated by Ai Hui and the others, and that it was very likely that she had implicated them.

Xiang Zhuang's sword intent was clear.

The person who really wanted to catch him was probably her.

”Xiaosu, do you know anyone? Can you guarantee that we can get out? We really were wronged. ”

Su Zhi sighed. If Xiao Qian was here, perhaps he would be. But now that he was not, she did not know who she should seek help from. Moreover, from the looks of this chain of events, it seemed that it was completely against her, and the power of the people behind it was not small either.

”I'll try my best to think of a way. Don't worry, it'll be fine.”

When she said this, even she wasn't confident.

He was originally an honest businessman. This time, he didn't know who he had offended. He wanted to find trouble with you, but how could he deal with it?

After about two incense sticks of time, Su Zhi was finally brought out of the prison.

The jailer took her to the courthouse lobby and met with the magistrate.

”Is the one sitting here Su Zhi?”

”That's me.”

”You colluded with those trashy merchants who killed people for no reason?”

Su Zhi was not afraid in the slightest. She directly looked into the county scout's eyes and said, ”Whether or not those people actually killed them for their goods, I hope that sire can make a clear observation. Although I've signed a business contract with them, I'm not aware of their whereabouts.”

Zhixian nodded, ”You're right, but those few people are suspicious and can't move around too much.” If anyone can prove that they are truly innocent, I can release them. ”

Hearing this, Su Zhi felt that there was hope, ”Then could the Lord temporarily let this woman have her freedom, and allow me to find out the truth of the matter!?”

The Prefect rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully, ”This is fine, but you have to investigate this matter as soon as possible.”

”As soon as possible!”

Su Zhi left the yamen without any obstruction. In order to keep an eye on her, Zhixian had specially sent two constables to follow her.

The three of them rushed to the place where the murder had started.
