Chapter 735 - I’m The Lanlord(11) (2/2)
The magistrate waved his hand, and someone came up with a tray, “this is the tofu scraps found in your store’s backyard that you haven’t cleaned up.”
Shi Sheng, who was still calm, “okay.”
The magistrate, “…” let’s see how long you can ‘okay’.
The Jing Tang Mu smacked, and the magistrate questioned sternly, “why did you murder Sun Er Gou?”
Shi Sheng rolled her eyes, “you have to ask this to the person that killed him.”
Who knew Sun Er Gou was who? So why would I kill him?
The magistrate was burning in fumes, “Ruan Xiao Yang, the court will not allow your nonsense. We have evidence and a witness. Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist. Why did you kill Sun Er Gou!”
“Well…” Shi Sheng dragged, “there were so many people in the store. Anyone could have poisoned him. So why must you accuse me? Did you take a bribe?”
“Ruan Xiao Yang!” The magistrate yelled, “sullying the magistrate, another crime.”
“Why are you so worked up if it’s not true? He who never wrongs others does not fear the knock in the night… But, my lord, do you have a guilty conscience?” Shi Sheng smiled insincerely at the magistrate.
This magistrate was not a good person. Based on the plot, he accepted bribes from others to be against the heroine. In the end, his whole family was beheaded.
“Ruan Xiao Yang, we’re talking about your poisoning crime. Don’t switch the topic.” the magistrate composed himself, “someone saw you put the poison. Bring out the witness.”
The witness was a worker from her store. He cowered when he saw Shi Sheng. Then, he lowered his head and kneeled on the ground.
He stated when he saw Shi Shang and how she poisoned the tofu very clearly.
“Fine, let’s say you have a point.” Shi Sheng could tell who was behind this already.
“You’re admitting your crime?” The magistrate continued right away.
Shi Sheng looked at the magistrate as if she was looking at a retard. “the important question is. What’s my motive?”
Killing a stranger out of nowhere, did she have rabies?
“This is what you should explain!”
“I can’t make up a motive.” Shi Sheng spread her hands. “you guys can make one up for me, or… the person behind you can.”
Freaking moron, using the same trick twice.
The magistrate’s pupils shrank, “Ruan Xiao Yang, stop blabbering nonsense. I will not give you any mercy anymore.”
“You murderer, give me my husband back. Give me my husband back.” Sun suddenly screamed at Shi Sheng and lunged at her.
A reflection flashed through Shi Sheng’s eyes. Then, a dagger slipped out from the Sun’s sleeves. She held the sleeve and stabbed Shi Sheng at her chest.
Shi Sheng dodged and kicked Sun’s wrist. The dagger flew out of her hand and flew straight towards the magistrate.
The magistrate slipped down out of fear, and the dagger thrust into the chair he was sitting on.
Sun missed, but she did not give up. Instead, she grabbed a packet of powder from her sleeves and threw it at Shi Sheng. Then, as Shi Sheng was dodging, Sun whipped out a whip from her waist and swung it at Shi Sheng.
Shi Sheng took out her iron sword and slashed across the whip. The whip broke in half instantly. Sun was shocked, and her sight suddenly went dark. Her body flew up and down uncontrollably.
It was until this moment that the backdrop bailiffs only began to move. They surrounded Sun and Shi Sheng.
“Cough cough…” Sun coughed blood as she was pressing against her chest. She looked at Shi Sheng murderously.
Shi Sheng sneered with the corner of her mouth, “now you even know to hire an assassin. Looks like you’ve learnt something.”
The magistrate was completely confused. This is different from the script!
This is not in the script!
Shi Sheng raised her sword and headed towards Sun.
Sun retreated, panicking. She had never met someone like her.
She was not surprised, nor confused, nor alarmed, nor angry. She was too calm.
