Chapter 1140 - Chapter 1140 Chapter 1140 Miscarriage of Justice

Chapter 1140: Chapter 1140: Miscarriage of Justice Chapter 1140: Chapter 1140: Miscarriage of Justice After hearing Gu Ya’s analysis,

the Magistrate thought it made sense, so he did not continue ordering people to search the backyard. In an effort to protect himself, Shopkeeper Sheng, in a moment of desperation, suddenly shouted out his innocence.

“My lord, I am innocent, I am innocent, sir. You see through deceit. I really did not burn down Zuixiang Restaurant. I implore you, sir, to grant me justice.”

Shopkeeper Sheng repeatedly cried out his innocence.

He shouted very loudly,

even startling the onlookers outside.

Unexpectedly, at this juncture, Shopkeeper Sheng still screamed his innocence and injustices, his face shamelessly thick. Su Yunjin stepped forward to interrogate him, “Innocent? If you are truly innocent, Shopkeeper Sheng, how then do you explain sheltering Fan Wu and Liu Kui?” Fan Wu and Liu Kui were the direct perpetrators who burned down Zuixiang Restaurant.

If Shopkeeper Sheng had no direct connection with these two, why would he shelter them? Why would he treat them well? Who would believe such a thing if it were told?

Facing Su Yunjin’s questioning, Shopkeeper Sheng flatly denied any relationship between himself and Fan Wu and Liu Kui, “My lord, do not listen to that woman’s nonsense. I simply do not know Fan Wu and Liu Kui, how could I possibly shelter them? As for their presence at my shop, I also do not know when they arrived?”

Shopkeeper Sheng was resolute in denying any relationship with Fan Wu, without evidence, Su Yunjin and others could do nothing to him. They surely couldn’t just take Su Yunjin’s word for it and determine his association with Fan Wu, could they?

Heh!

Quite a clean denial indeed.

Su Yunjin was not afraid of Shopkeeper Sheng’s denial.

“My lord, Shopkeeper Sheng and Fan Wu are definitely the criminals who burned down my Zuixiang Restaurant. I can prove this.” Shopkeeper Sheng says he has no connection with Fan Wu? Xiaohong and Cuicui from Yixiang Garden can completely prove the significant relationship between Shopkeeper Sheng and Fan Wu.

Shopkeeper Sheng paid to have Honghong and Xiaocui serve Fan Wu, which is already abnormal. If there were no connection, would Shopkeeper Sheng spend money finding women for Fan Wu and Liu Kui?

Shopkeeper Sheng was unaware that Gu Ya had been watching him for a long time and had come to the shop to arrest people only after securing solid evidence and confidence.

Thinking that as long as he denied everything, Su Yunjin and Gu Ya could do nothing, Shopkeeper Sheng completely disregarded what Su Yunjin said and continued to loudly claim his innocence,

“My lord, innocent, innocent! I don’t even know Fan Wu and Liu Kui, how could I let them set fire to Zuixiang Restaurant?”

Without evidence, the County Magistrate really was in a difficult position to convict Shopkeeper Sheng, so he looked towards Gu Ya and Su Yunjin, “Master Gu, Mistress Su, you claim Shopkeeper Sheng burned down your Zuixiang Restaurant. How can you prove this matter? And you say Shopkeeper Sheng is associated with Fan Wu, can you prove this too?”

Wang Meng interjected, “My lord, do we still need to prove the relationship between Shopkeeper Sheng and Fan Wu? Look, the clothes on Fan Wu are from their Xingyu Winery. If there is no connection, would Fan Wu be wearing clothes from Xingyu Winery?”

“My lord, even if Fan Wu is wearing clothes from my Xingyu Winery, that doesn’t prove he is associated with me! Maybe he stole the clothes, yes, he stole them, he stole the clothes from my Xingyu Winery.”

Shopkeeper Sheng insisted that the clothes Fan Wu was wearing had been stolen.

Wang Meng was boiling with anger.
