The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Cheng Feng was watching from the side. Sui Dan took out a knife and put it in front of Master Zhai. He poked the knife into the ground, only two inches away from Master Zhai's nose. Sui Dan said viciously, "How dare you accuse us of stealing food?"

Master Zhai tried hard to pull his head back. He was afraid of the knife in front of him, but he was very tough. "You hooligans and robbers, the government officials will be here soon, you dare to kill me."

Sui Dan said, "You are already ugly with your fat head and big ears. What would it be like if you lost your nose?"

"you dare?"

With his hand still covering the handle of the dagger, he smiled sinisterly, "What am I afraid of?"

Just as Sui Dan, with a grim face and a gleaming knife, gestured at Boss Zhai's fat, white face, with a threatening look, and Boss Zhai was about to piss his pants and surrender, a rapid and heavy sound of footsteps came from far away. Then, a group of officers and soldiers in official uniforms and holding big knives appeared in front of everyone. One of the burly yamen runners shouted, "Stop it!"

Master Zhai was so excited that he almost cried, "Sir, save me!"

At this time, the yamen runner repeated again: "Stop it now."

Although Sui Dan felt unwilling, he could not openly disobey the government's order, so he angrily put the knife back into the sheath.

At this time, the leading yamen runner glanced sharply at the people present. When he saw Cheng Feng and others, his eyes only paused for a moment, and then he walked straight to Master Zhai who had just been helped up from the ground by his men. Master Zhai was now covered in dust, and his originally gorgeous clothes had become wrinkled and covered with dust, looking very embarrassed. "

The yamen runner was very respectful and polite to Master Zhai, and his tone was quite concerned. He asked Master Zhai: "Master Zhai, are you okay? What happened?"

However, before Master Zhai could answer, Sui Dan at the side could not hold back his temper, because he saw that Master Zhai must be very familiar with these yamen runners. If so, he would inevitably be biased in his judgment. So he stretched his neck and yelled, "Humph! Do you know how to judge a case? Anyone with eyes can see that it is obvious that this old man relied on his large numbers to bully the weak. How dare you ask him about the whole story? I'm afraid he can't even speak clearly now!"

Facing Sui Dan's rude accusation, the yamen runner remained calm. His thick and long eyebrows, like clouds of fire, slightly raised, revealing a powerful aura. He stared at Sui Dan coldly and said slowly: "In my opinion, it is obvious that you, a group of unruly people, gathered together to cause trouble and fight with others! Moreover, no matter how I look at it, you are bullying the minority with your numbers!"

Sui Dan argued without showing any weakness: "My Lord, you must be more discerning! There are only nine of us in total, but there are dozens of them, rushing up to beat us with sticks without saying a word! The people couldn't stand it anymore, and they stepped forward to help us. After all, the people have sharp eyes! Isn't it obvious enough what is right and wrong? It's obvious that they are deliberately looking for trouble! So please, my Lord, take these guys away and interrogate them strictly, and then make sure to give us justice!"

At this time, the leader of the yamen runners frowned and said, "Wait a minute, I remember clearly that it was Mr. Zhai who came to report to the authorities first, accusing you of theft." As he spoke, the yamen runner turned to Mr. Zhai, who had been standing silently beside him, busy sorting out his clothes, and asked in a serious tone, "Mr. Zhai, since you are accusing them of theft, do you have any real evidence? What exactly did they steal from you? I hope you can tell me the truth."

Master Zhai was so frightened that he was trembling all over, and even began to stutter: "Sir... Sir, this is what happened. Yesterday, this group of people came to my house to borrow food, but I didn't lend them any, and then I kicked them out of the house. Who would have thought that not long after, my servants came to tell me that the food in my house was lost."

When Sui Dan heard this, he immediately pretended to be furious, and he even jumped up and cursed: "Hey, you old man, do you have any shame? Do you think that if your family lost the food, it must be us who took it? Tell me, how much food did your family lose?"

Master Zhai said angrily: "Ten bags of grain, which is equivalent to almost ten dan of grain! All the rice they took for alms was stolen from my house!" His voice trembled with anger.

After hearing this, Sui Dan smiled disdainfully: "This is very strange. We cooked porridge for the people last night, and there are still sixteen bags of grain there. If it is true as you said, the grain we donated was stolen from your house, then the grain lost in your house is more than just ten bags!"

At this moment, a servant standing next to Master Zhai hurried forward and whispered something in his ear in a low voice.

A servant whispered to Master Zhai: "Master, our family is only short of ten sacks of grain. If what he said is true, they still have more than ten bags of grain, then there must be something fishy here! Maybe they borrowed the grain from other families."

After hearing this, Master Zhai's face changed slightly, and then he shook his head and said, "Impossible, no one would lend them food at this time, not to mention that they are from other places."

However, Sui Dan seemed a little impatient. He urged, "I say, you guys, if you really want to solve the case, then hurry up. If you want to frame someone, please show us the evidence! Don't dilly-dally here, delaying our efforts to make porridge for the people! If you can't show us the evidence, then it's a false accusation. The crime of false accusation can be serious or minor. You can decide for yourself!"

The leading yamen runner said to Master Jin, "Master Jin, please send someone to check the grain in those dozen bags and identify which one is from your house."

When Master Zhai heard this, he immediately signaled his men to go check it out. Not long after, the man hurried back, shaking his head and reporting to Master Zhai: "Master, it is just as they said, there are exactly sixteen large sacks of grain on the carriage! But those sacks all look the same, it is really hard to tell which one is ours."
