The onlookers outside the courtroom were curious, wondering why this old man had a stomach ache.
Very quickly, the doctor arrived and examined him separately.
"Reporting to the Prefect, this old man took abdominal pain pills, it wasn’t from eating anything else."
Doctor Liu also said the sa.
This left the onlookers with expressions of inscrutable mystery.
"This old man really went all out to deceive; these abdominal pain pills aren’t sothing ordinary people take. It’s said that after taking these, the stomach feels like it’s being drilled through with pain."
While admiring the old man, everyone was also curious about why he would do such a thing.
"Pei’s just opened, even if he wanted to extort money, there’s not that much silver coin to extort."
Pei Shu’er smiled and said, "These two people must want to ruin the reputation of my Pei’s."
"In my opinion, soone doesn’t want us to open Pei’s in Jingzhou City, probably obstructing soone’s path."
The courtroom was quiet, and soon everyone started discussing again.
Due to Mrs. Liu Zhang’s identity, everyone quickly linked the clues to Liu’s.
"Liu’s egg cakes are identical to Pei’s, perhaps Pei’s made egg cakes imitating Liu’s, making Liu’s angry."
Upon hearing this, Pei Shu’er imdiately said, "Firstly, the egg cakes are made by our Pei’s, Liu’s just stole our secret recipe."
As soon as these words ca out, Mrs. Liu Zhang sharply retorted.
"You’re talking nonsense! How dare a small village shop try to connect with us Liu’s."
Hearing this, Pei Shu’er laughed.
"Why is Mrs. Liu so agitated? This is just my speculation."
Mrs. Liu Zhang snorted, wanting to speak, but saw Pei Shu’er start again.
"However, it is a fact that Liu’s frad , and you are indeed soone from Liu’s."
As soon as Pei Shu’er said this, Mrs. Liu Zhang got angry.
"Who knows what kind of people these two are, don’t randomly accuse us Liu’s."
Other onlookers also said, "Yes, this Manager Pei seems to be randomly accusing, and she doesn’t have any concrete evidence."
"Exactly, bringing a few people to testify just to implicate Liu’s is too far-fetched."
"Mrs. Zhang Liu usually appears to be kind, how could she do such malicious things? I think this Manager Pei is just trying to bring down Liu’s Pastries by any ans."
Previously, everyone felt sorry for Manager Pei, deceived by two scoundrels who took abdominal pain pills.
But now, seeing Manager Pei speak ill of Mrs. Liu Zhang, everyone suddenly beca clear.
This Manager Pei probably isn’t a good person either.
Pei Shu’er bowed to the Prefect.
"Sir, I have so people and evidence that can prove this old man and the young woman in white are deceivers. Additionally, it can be proven that they acted under Mrs. Liu Zhang’s directions."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Zan brought up the witnesses, followed by so physical evidence.
When Tang Zan stood on the courtroom floor, the Prefect’s gaze swept across Tang Zan’s face, and his eyes narrowed, feeling that this man was quite extraordinary.
One look could tell he wasn’t an ordinary person.
Moreover, he had a feeling that he had seen this man before.
Tang Zan walked to the old man, squatted down, and peeled off the human-skin mask from the old man’s face.
Under the twisted visage was no longer a face full of ravines but a youthful face.
When Prefect Xie saw this face, he was startled for a mont and then angrily exclaid, "Wang Wu, it’s you."
At this point, those who were still doubtful dispelled their doubts; this Wang Wu was undoubtedly a fraud.
Tang Zan walked toward the young woman in white, who retreated repeatedly, eventually stepping behind Mrs. Liu Zhang.
"Aunt, save ."
Mrs. Liu Zhang gritted her teeth, considering her niece a complete fool.
She imdiately said, "What are you doing, who are you, I don’t know you."
The young woman in white belatedly realized she had made a foolish move.
However, the gaze and aura of this distinguished man were too terrifying; she was instinctively frightened by the abyss-like gaze.
She gritted her teeth, "Sorry, I recognized the wrong person."
This self-righteous explanation made Pei Shu’er and a few onlookers laugh softly.
At this mont, Tang Zan stood next to the young woman in white, pressed her acupoint, and then tore off the human-skin mask from her face.
Wasn’t this Mrs. Liu Zhang’s niece, Zhang XingEr?
Now, no one doubted anymore, because if she even sent her niece, how could it not be related to Mrs. Liu Zhang?
However, Mrs. Liu Zhang exclaid softly.
"Xing’er, why are you dressed like this?"
This sentence was clearly an attempt to feign ignorance.
Zhang XingEr opened her mouth, rolled her eyes.
"I was forced by Wang Wu."
The onlookers frowned; after all, Zhang XingEr was also forced to, and an unmarried girl could hardly associate with a fraud.
Wang Wu, now in unbearable stomach pain and frad by Zhang XingEr, was also quite upset.
"Zhang XingEr, you’re truly ungrateful; you’re the one who ca to , asking to put on a show for Liu’s."
However, due to his stomach pain, he lacked strength when saying this.
He quickly turned to Doctor Liu: "Doctor, can you give a pill."
As soon as he said this, Pei Shu’er couldn’t help but laugh again.
This Wang Wu truly was a riot.
After taking the dicine, Wang Wu was lively again and imdiately started arguing with Zhang XingEr.
And it was quite loud.
He was afraid all the bla would be pushed onto him, so he revealed how Zhang XingEr sought him out, negotiated terms, and how much money she offered, all laid out.
Prefect Xie, having served years as prefect, was seeing such an easy case for the first ti.
First, the plaintiff’s evidence was sufficient, and the defendant was very cooperative, even saving the trouble of torture.
The evidence was all ready-made.
Prefect Xie shifted from conducting official duties to relaxing, leaning back in his chair, listening to the two arguing.
Pei Shu’er seed to feel the fla wasn’t hot enough.
"In that case, Zhang XingEr and Wang Wu can be convicted, and if Mrs. Liu Zhang is innocent, should she be released?"
As soon as he said this, Wang Wu wouldn’t agree, as Mrs. Liu Zhang was the real culprit, and the money hadn’t been paid to him yet; how could she run?
Was Wang Wu easy to bully?
Wang Wu, on his own, started a tumultuous battle with Zhang XingEr and Mrs. Liu Zhang.
Unexpectedly, neither could out-talk him, and he exposed even more evidence.
Mrs. Liu Zhang started with so rebuttals but later was only spinning words without providing substantive evidence.
The substantial evidence, Prefect Xie held in his hands.
Pei Shu’er saw these people talking more heatedly, even seeming ready to fight, and couldn’t help but step back a little.
Prefect Xie surprisingly didn’t have the governnt officer stop them, leaving one to wonder if this Prefect had a penchant for watching excitent.
Pei Shu’er even caught a glint of excitent in his eyes.
As the situation approached more violent turns, Prefect Xie coughed lightly.
"Bring them in, lock up these three, and set a later date for trial."
