The leading officer thought about it. This food box had nothing to do with the theft case of Mr. Zhang's house, so he had to get back to the topic and take the person back to the Yamen first.
Therefore, the officers talked with both parties. Su Ni had done nothing wrong, so she was not afraid to go to the Yamen to confront Mr. Zhang. Shaer Zidan also believed in Su Ni's character and immediately expressed his willingness to go to the Yamen with her.
Su Ni was very moved when she saw Sha'er Zidan acting like this, but she still persuaded her: "Master Dan, you better not go to the Yamen. If Elder Sang Mu finds out, you will definitely be scolded again!"
The two servants had the same idea, so they came over to persuade the young master not to go.
"Shut up and get out!" Sha'er Zidan scolded.
Then, Sha'er Zidan said resolutely: "Su Ni, you were wrongly accused and sent to the Yamen. How could I just stand by and watch? Grandpa knows it. Let alone being scolded, I am not afraid even if you are beaten!"
Su Ni didn't say anything else, but nodded even more moved.
Later, Sha Er Zidan asked: "What did the Zhang family lose?"
The leader looked at Aunt Li, who hurriedly said: "It's a glazed stone earring. That's Mrs. Zhang's favorite jewelry!"
Su Ni said firmly: "I have never seen any glazed stone earrings. Yesterday I was washing clothes in the yard and never entered the house!"
Aunt Li said, "You don't need to tell me this. When we get to the Yamen in a while, you can tell the magistrate!"
The leader of the police officer said: "Okay, okay, I can't explain it clearly here, let's go back to the Yamen!"
Su Ni immediately said: "Brother, in front of everyone, you can go into my house and search to see if there are any glazed stone earrings hidden!"
"Su Ni..." Sha'er Zidan felt something was wrong. After all, it was Su Ni's residence, and he didn't want a few men to go in and rummage around.
Su Ni shook her head and said: "It doesn't matter, Mr. Dan. If you haven't done anything wrong, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door! Besides, I'm a homeless person anyway, so there's no harm in letting them search me thoroughly!"
Seeing that Su Ni insisted on this, Shaer Zidan had no choice but to agree.
After the four officers discussed it, the leader stayed in the yard while the other three officers entered the house to search.
Suddenly, Shaer Zidan noticed that the people in the yard were moving towards the door, seemingly preparing to sneak away quietly.
"Stop, no one is allowed to leave!" Sha'er Zidan shouted and waved his hands at the same time. The two servants beside him immediately ran to the door and blocked the way out.
The leading officer was startled and hurriedly said: "Master Dan, what are you doing..."
Sha'er Zidan asked: "Brother Cha, these people not only broke down the door of my friend's house, but also treated my friend rudely. Are we going to let them go like this?"
The officer looked around at the group of neighbors and calmly said, "Master Dan, there is a clear law in the law that when a theft occurs, the nearby residents can spontaneously round up the criminals!"
"That's right, Mr. Zhang is our neighbor, we are just fulfilling our responsibilities!" the old woman said hurriedly.
As soon as the old woman spoke, other people also echoed loudly, as if what they had done before was a just act!
"This is unreasonable! You broke into other people's homes by breaking down the door and randomly searching for things. How can you still be justified?" Shaer Zidan shouted angrily.
At this time, Su Ni came over and grabbed Sha'er Zidan, shook her head and said: "Forget it, Mr. Dan, you will only lose your identity by arguing and getting angry with these people!"
Sha'er Zidan was unwilling to give in and said: "But Su Ni, they treated you like that, I...I can't swallow this breath!"
Su Ni continued to shake her head and said with a disdainful expression: "Master Dan, let them go. I really don't want to see these people's faces again, it's disgusting!"
Sha'er Zidan exhaled helplessly, then nodded to the two servants, who returned to his side.
Immediately afterwards, the old woman took the lead to leave the small courtyard, her vigorous pace comparable to that of a young woman.
In the blink of an eye, those righteous neighbors disappeared without a trace.
About a quarter of an hour later, three police officers came out of the house.
"How is it?" asked the leader of the police.
The three officers shook their heads and said they found nothing, not even a decent piece of women's jewelry, let alone glazed earrings.
Sha'er Zidan said firmly: "I told you before that she won't steal other people's things!"
Aunt Li muttered in a low voice: "Who knows where she hid the earrings..."
"What did you say?" Sha'er Zidan immediately stared at Aunt Li, who was so frightened that Aunt Li quickly lowered her head and shut her mouth.
The leader immediately said: "Everyone is done, let's go back to the Yamen first. If there is anything you can explain to Master Situ."
Immediately, the leading officer left two officers to guard Su Ni's home, and the rest walked to the county government office together.
----------------------------------
The group of people arrived at the gate of the county government office and were about to go in when Shaer Zidan saw a familiar face coming towards them. He immediately raised his hands and said hello: "Master Chai!"
The two officers were startled when they heard the sound, and turned around to see that it was Mr. Chai Yanchai.
"Master Chai!" The two officers also quickly greeted in unison.
Chai Yan recognized Sha'er Zidan's face at a glance, but his name was a little hard to remember: "Are you that Sha'er... What kind of pill does Sha'er have?"
"Sha Er Zidan!" Sha Er Zidan quickly reported his full name.
Chai Yan suddenly smiled and said: "Yes, yes, Zidan Zidan... Hey, why are you here? Could it be that you bought dragon meat and now regret it?"
"No, no, no, my lord has misunderstood, no...it's something else..."
Therefore, Shaer Zidan quickly explained the situation of Su Ni being wrongly accused of being a thief.
Chai Yan turned to look at Su Ni, and immediately felt that this woman looked familiar. Then he remembered that she was the woman from the Wandering Dragon Clan who he had met upstairs in Jinyan Tower the day he first came to Ganquan County, and who sought revenge from Qino, because
She was not wearing the costume of the Dragon Clan, so she was not recognized at first.
"So I'm here to help my friend with his lawsuit!" Chai Yan was immediately relieved and nodded: "Let's go in together!"
Chai Yan also came to see Situ Zhou, so he entered the county government office with Sha'er Zidan and his party.
During the short walk to the county government hall, Sha'er Zidan followed Chai Yan and emphasized more than once that Su Ni was wronged and that with her character, she would never do such a thing.
!
Chai Yan understood Sha'er Zidan's mood and said: "Sha'er Zidan, don't get excited yet. Mr. Situ is an honest man and knows everything. If your friend is really wronged, he will definitely give her justice!"
The group of people soon arrived at the lobby. At this time, a middle-aged couple was already standing in the lobby. They were Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang, the plaintiffs in the theft case.
As soon as Aunt Li saw Mr. Zhang and his wife, she greeted them, nodding and bowing eagerly.
Su Ni also walked over immediately and declared anxiously: "Mr. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, Su Ni really didn't steal your things, Su Ni can swear poison!"
Mr. Zhang seemed to be a gentle person, but he was stopped by Mrs. Zhang just as he was about to speak.
Mrs. Zhang took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and said with a cold expression, "I'll tell the magistrate later if I stole anything! Huh..."
With that said, Mrs. Zhang stopped paying attention to Su Ni.
Seeing this, Sha'er Zidan hurriedly pulled Su Ni back. He couldn't bear to see his sweetheart being looked down upon like this.
At this moment, I heard someone behind the hall shouting in a long voice: "Sheng-tang-!"
Immediately afterwards, dozens of government officials holding water and fire sticks trotted into the hall. The government officials quickly separated into two teams and stood on the left and right sides of the hall. The water and fire sticks in their hands began to hit the ground with a "dong dong dong".
...
"Might - Wu -!" Along with the banging of sticks, the government officials shouted in unison.
When the voice fell, Situ Zhou, who was wearing official uniform, walked into the lobby and sat directly in the hall table under the plaque of "Mirror Hanging High"...
Situ Zhou looked majestic and said: "Who is here and what is going on?"
