Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

"What? This is impossible!"

The whole family screamed in shock.

Su Yue picked up a small wooden sword she used for martial arts training and pointed it at the yamen runners, saying fiercely, "Don't you dare slander my elder sister! My elder sister wouldn't kill anyone!"

"That's right! There's no evidence. How can you say a purse belongs to Big Sister?"

The bailiff snorted coldly and took out the purse on the spot. Su An's name was embroidered on it.

"The evidence is here, you won't deny it!"

Su An came to her senses and walked out from behind the family. The purse was indeed embroidered by her mother, it was genuine!

Li Guihua and the three little ones also recognized him and were suddenly a little flustered.

Seeing the yamen runner's face full of impatience, Su An didn't want his family to get into trouble with the yamen, so he quickly said: "The purse is indeed mine. As for how it ended up somewhere else, there must be a misunderstanding. I'll go with you."

"Xiao An!"

"Sister!!!"

"Don't be impulsive. The innocent will be cleared. We must not lose our composure!" Su An gave him a soothing look, but before he could say anything more, he was hurriedly taken away by the bailiff.

The three little ones stamped their feet anxiously and were about to chase after her, but were stopped by Li Guihua.

"Go find the young master next door, maybe they can find a solution!"

In the yamen, Lin Yong had already received the report and was going to court.

When Su An was brought in, a frightened crowd followed.

"It can't be Boss Su, right? That's a crime of murder. How could a weak woman like her do that?"

"I heard it was found on Ni Dagui's bed. Could it be a grudge between the two of them..."

"Silence!"

Lin Yong slammed the gavel again. He felt a headache looking at Su An below. Why was it this girl again?

"Su An, after the coroner examined the body, Ni Dagui was strangled to death tonight. There were no signs of struggle. He was murdered while he was sleeping."

"And in the corner of the bed, I found your personal purse. Do you recognize this purse?"

Lin Yong presented the purse in court, and the two words "Su An" clearly visible on it caused the crowd to sigh again.

Su An was so confused that he could only take a deep breath to calm down, then nodded and admitted, "The purse is indeed mine, but I have nothing to do with Ni Dagui's death!"

She was discussing with Fu Zhun and others tonight how to take revenge on Ni Dagui, but she didn't expect that Ni Dagui would die!

Su An felt a chill down his spine, and tried to clarify as best he could: "Ni Dagui died in his bed at home, but has anyone ever seen me in and out of his house?"

"Putting everything else aside, Ni Dagui is a grown man. How could I possibly strangle him to death with my strength?"

"This is a frame-up!"

Su An shouted out every word with pearls of wisdom, but everyone heard it in a different way.

"Boss Su, everyone knows that you and Ni Dagui have been enemies for a long time. Some people saw it tonight. Ni Dagui was knelt and begging for mercy at your doorstep!"

"Since you hate him, it's not impossible that you used your beauty to trick him into meeting you at night and then killed him in secret!"

Su An's face suddenly turned dark, and he felt angry and wanted to laugh.

The imagination of these people can stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun!

"No noise!" Lin Yong shouted, restraining the people, then frowned and looked at Su An.

"You said it was a frame-up, but who was it, and do you have any evidence?"

"It's He Cheng!"

Su An had already guessed this, and secretly gritted his teeth and told everything that happened to He Cheng last night.

No wonder He Cheng suddenly appeared and ran away last night.

It must have been at that time that He Cheng stole her purse!

Lin Yong's expression became even more serious when he heard this. If that was the case, then there must be something wrong with the prison!

He immediately sent someone to find He Cheng.

Unexpectedly, not long after, He Cheng was escorted here by the prison boss.

When Xu Datong heard Lin Yong questioning the prison escape, he immediately cried out for injustice.

"That's sheer nonsense, sir! I've been keeping a close watch on the prison door, and He Cheng has been locked up the entire time. How could he possibly be released?"

He Cheng was wearing prison clothes with his hands and feet chained, and he looked so miserable and miserable.

He was even more distressed, "God, I know clearly that I have committed a crime. I have been reflecting on myself in prison. I didn't expect Su An to falsely accuse me!"

Su An's eyes widened, and he was more shocked than anyone else.

This bastard clearly escaped from prison last night, but now he shows up again!

What is going on?

Lin Yong called over other prison guards again and questioned them, but they all said there was nothing unusual.

He Cheng has been in prison all the time, so how can he frame Su An?

"Now that things have come to this, Su An, do you have anything else to say in your defense?" Lin Yong asked.

"I..." Su An was speechless, his heart and eyes were full of confusion.

She suffered an unprovoked misfortune and has tried all the excuses she can. She is really at her wit's end!

Lin Yong said with a headache, "You have physical evidence. Since you deny it, I will order people to investigate the truth. But before that, you must be imprisoned until the truth is revealed!"

"Su An, do you have any objections?"

No matter how unwilling Su An was, he was defeated at this moment and sighed and shook his head.

"Pass the order—" Lin Yong raised his hand and prepared to give the order.

At this moment, the man's cold voice filled the room: "Slow down!"

Su An looked up in surprise, and it was indeed Fu Zhun and others, followed by a family with anxious faces.

"Miss!"

The three children were anxious to rush in, but were stopped by the yamen runners, "You are not allowed to barge in when the court is hearing a case!"

Li Guihua hurriedly pulled the three back with one hand and looked at Fu Zhun and others with pleading eyes.

Fu Zhun ignored them and pushed the wheelchair in. His aura was so cold that the yamen runners looked at each other in shock.

Although they did not know Fu Zhun's identity, they had seen the county magistrate being extremely respectful to Fu Zhun.

"County Magistrate, this case is unusual. Just based on a purse, it's not enough to determine that it was Su An who did it."

Fu Zhun's wheelchair stopped beside Su An, his dark eyes filled with warning.

Su An was immediately touched. When something happened, the God of Wealth really came!

In the courtroom, Lin Yong met Fu Zhun's cold gaze and sighed slightly, but had to speak in a serious tone, "Sir, I have tried this case according to the law, and all my judgments are fair and just."

"Although there is no definitive evidence to determine the nature of this case, the items are here, and they are inextricably linked to Su An. She is suspected and is being detained for investigation."

Although his tone was hardly respectful, his meaning was clear.

It's impossible to let Su An go.

Fu Zhun gripped the armrest of his wheelchair tightly, and his expression turned cold.

Seeing this, Su An hurriedly pushed him gently and whispered, "The county magistrate is indeed acting according to the law. We can't disobey his orders!"

"Don't worry, I believe you can find out the truth and redeem me!"

She pretended to be relaxed and jokingly said, "There's nothing you can do about it. Although Fu Zhun may have status, the county magistrate is also an official appointed by the court."

If we fall out because of me, Fu Zhun might get into trouble!

Fu Zhun naturally understood the meaning of Su An's words, and seeing her pretending to be relaxed, his heart tightened even more.

After a brief silence, he sighed softly, "Then wait for me. I will definitely redeem you."
