Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns
Chapter 49 Both Imprisoned
Shi Tou did not hide and was soon arrested.
Facing the county magistrate's interrogation, he pointed at Su An and shouted without hesitation.
"County Master, I saw it clearly at that time. It was her and that crippled man in the wheelchair who wanted to kill He Cheng. The knife almost pierced He Cheng's heart. If we hadn't run fast, we would have died long ago!"
The county magistrate asked coldly, "But you drugged Su An first?"
Shitou panicked for a moment, but his face was filled with bewilderment. "What drug? No, sir. We are all honest people!"
"He Cheng called us over because he really wanted to play the hero and save the damsel in distress, but we never touched her. The young lady and the cripple were so enraged that they wanted to kill her!"
Unexpectedly, this gangster turned the tables on him. Su An was furious and stared at Shi Tou coldly.
"At this point, you still want to help and favor He Cheng? I just need a doctor to check, and I'm sure they can find any remaining drugs in your body. Before you lie, think carefully about how much benefit He Cheng has given you and whether it's worth the risk of being an accomplice!"
In fact, Su An was not sure when she said this. After all, she was not a doctor, and she didn't know whether she could find the drug after a night.
But when he heard her say that, Shitou's expression obviously shrank and he looked hesitant.
Is he really going to bluff you?
Su An was slightly delighted and was about to continue fanning the flames, but Ni Dagui, who was behind him, saw that the situation was not good and jumped out with a dark face.
"Su An, stop talking nonsense here! Everyone knows that you hate He Cheng. Even if the drug is found, it must be you who took it, just to frame He Cheng!"
"That's right!" Shi Tou instantly regained his composure and agreed repeatedly.
Ni Dagui was unwilling to miss this opportunity, so he bit Su An to death and kept adding fuel to the fire.
"You don't know, County Master, that vicious woman Su An not only scalded He Cheng with boiling water, but the wound is still there! She also had people throw feces and urine on her, and stepped on her hand bones, she is absolutely evil and lawless!"
"He Cheng only betrayed her once, and she attacked him repeatedly. She really wants to kill him!"
"What!" The county magistrate gasped and looked at Su An in shock and anger.
"You are such a weak girl, yet you are so vicious!"
"County Master, actually I don't blame her. After all, I was the one who made the mistake first..." He Cheng said with a hoarse cough. The situation was very good at the moment, so he naturally did not forget to pretend to be affectionate. He looked at Su An painfully, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
Su An was disgusted. He was so disabled that he was still restless.
"This woman has behaved badly, and she is not allowed to plead for mercy!" The county magistrate interrupted He Cheng and shouted with a wave of his hand.
"Come here! Arrest this woman and the man in the wheelchair and throw them into jail! These are among the most heinous crimes I'll investigate before making any final decisions!"
"Yes!"
Two lines of patrolmen responded, one team went out to capture Fu Zhun, and the other team came towards Su An.
"Let's see who dares!" At this time, Zhou Li finally spoke with a cold face.
He glanced at He Cheng angrily, then took out a token from his waist and raised it high towards the county magistrate.
"Listen carefully, Magistrate of Fuyou County! I am the heir of the Pingyang Marquisate in the capital. This identity token serves as proof!"
The county magistrate had been an official for many years, and he only took a glance at the totem on the token and was immediately filled with awe.
He stood up respectfully and bowed to Zhou Lifu, saying, "I didn't know that the Crown Prince was visiting Fuyou County. I'm sorry for not coming to greet you!"
As for Ni Dagui, when he saw the county magistrate's appearance, he was shocked and looked at Zhou Li as if he had seen a ghost.
"He, he is actually the prince?!"
Ni Dagui's eyes widened and his lips trembled slightly.
Damn it, what kind of prince would actually come to this shabby place!
So their plan is...
Ni Dagui and He Cheng looked at each other in panic, their faces turning pale.
Seeing them in a panic, Zhou Li raised his chin and snorted coldly, feeling much better.
It is true that there are unruly people in remote areas. These people almost made him vomit to death!
Now that he had vented his anger, he said sternly to the county magistrate, "This prince is here to testify for Su An. What she said is true. It was He Cheng and the others who started it first. You cannot arrest them!"
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the county magistrate puffed out his chest and said with a pair of sharp eyes, "I'm afraid that won't work."
"I handle cases strictly and impartially, I will not bend the law for personal gain, and I will not let any criminal go free. Even if the Crown Prince were here, I would still be unable to obey your orders!"
Zhou Li's eyes flashed with surprise, and his tongue was tied with anger. "What did you say..."
In the capital, everyone who saw him would be terrified and obey his orders, but this little county magistrate actually disobeyed him.
But the key point is, he exposed his identity not to abuse his power, but to uphold justice!
Zhou Li's handsome face flushed red, and he jumped up again: "I say, are you, the county magistrate, blind?!"
"Prince, please calm down. I will investigate this case thoroughly. If Su An is innocent, I will give her justice." The county magistrate said with a stern face and ordered the patrol officers to continue.
The veins on Zhou Li's forehead were exposed and his eyes were red. He protected Su An tightly and tried to say something with gritted teeth.
Su An couldn't help but pat his arm, and said with a somewhat awkward smile: "Forget it, young master, this county magistrate is upright and honest, and your tricks will not work on him."
Moreover, looking at the county magistrate with a righteous look on his face, she felt a little admiration in her heart.
It is a good thing that Fuyou County has such an upright judge.
Zhou Li was so angry that he almost vomited blood, especially when he saw Ni Dagui and He Cheng opposite him, whose faces changed again, with a look of gloating and complacency. He was so angry that he wanted to kill people.
Just at this moment, the other pair of patrolmen who had gone out also came back. The person surrounded in the middle was Fu Zhun, whose wheelchair was pushed by Jian Yi.
When he saw the prince, Zhou Li wanted to cry for joy and rushed forward to wail.
"Wang... No, Master, this ungrateful county magistrate wants to arrest you and the young boss. He doesn't care if I reveal my identity. How about you reveal your identity too, Master, and scare them to death!"
Fu Zhun first glanced at Su An, and seeing that she was fine, he whispered, "Don't worry, the county magistrate is also doing things according to the rules, and his loyalty and bravery are commendable. If he wants to investigate, let him investigate thoroughly."
Zhou Li opened his mouth blankly, his face turning green.
He was planning to use the prince's power to get back at the king, but now his plan has been ruined!
"Humph, playing tricks on me. Even with your incredible abilities, you're still going to jail!"
Over there, He Cheng stared at Fu Zhun hatefully, his eyes almost overflowing with ecstasy.
If he wasn't paralyzed now, he would have gone over and shown off his power.
Needless to say, Ni Dagui was ecstatic and hurriedly urged the county magistrate: "Please, sir, quickly arrest this murderous couple and put them in jail!"
The county magistrate waved his hand, and two pairs of patrolmen immediately took Su An and Fu Zhun away.
The good news is that the two were imprisoned in the same prison.
But the bad news is that the two were imprisoned in two cells, one on the left and one on the right!
