The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 343 Innocence
Wu Tai was not at all flustered by the pointing and teasing outside the court, and said innocently, "I admit that I am not really handsome, but who knows Miss Pomegranate's taste? Maybe she likes someone like me? After all, if she really likes handsome men, why didn't she accept Zhou Bingwen's proposal before?"

Having said that, everyone seems to think it makes sense, right?
Looking more closely at Wu Tai, although he is not handsome, he has a narrow waist and a nice butt. Some men smiled secretly, feeling that they understood.

"quiet!"

Magistrate Zhang slammed the gavel, and the court fell silent. "Continue with your testimony, don't go off topic."

Wu Taiying said so, and he began to look embarrassed. "Miss Pomegranate is beautiful, and I have long been in love with her. No man can resist the lover throwing himself into his arms. I was about to do that, but the drunk Chen Si suddenly stumbled in.

Chen Si, who was not yet completely drunk, recognized Miss Pomegranate and threatened her to give him some money to keep her mouth shut, otherwise he would spread what he had seen and let everyone in Luoshui City know.

I also advised Miss Pomegranate to take the silver to keep her mouth shut, but Miss Pomegranate was afraid that Chen Si would take the silver and deny it, which would ruin her reputation, so she simply grabbed a stone and smashed it on Chen Si's forehead! "

"I was so scared at the time! I never thought that such a delicate and weak girl would actually kill people! Then I thought, she dared to kill even bandits, how could she be afraid of killing people?

Chen Si was very drunk and fell to the ground after being hit by a stone. I reached out to feel his breath and found that he was still breathing. I then advised Miss Pomegranate to send him to the hospital immediately to avoid making a serious mistake. Killing bandits is not against the law, but killing innocent civilians is!
But Miss Pomegranate didn't listen to me at all. When she saw me making a lot of noise, she called the guards around her in, tied me and the servant up to a tree, blocked our mouths, and then left!

Later, the night watchman passed by and cried out, and I realized that Chen Si had died from excessive blood loss! He didn't have to die.

My Lord, this is what happened!"

Outside the court, many people were whispering to each other as they listened to Wu Tai's narration.

"Don't mention it. This pomegranate girl can even kill bandits, so killing a drunkard is no problem at all!"

"Oh, I didn't expect that this pomegranate girl would be this kind of person!"

"I was wondering why she rejected so many good marriage proposals and refused any of them! It turns out that she just likes to flirt with others in private! I wonder how many people in Luoshui City are still her admirers!"

"What a shameless girl!"

"."

Everyone in the Li family was so angry after hearing these people's harsh words that they started to refute.

Those who are excited just talk and don't care about anything else. Instead, they become more and more excited as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes last night.

In court.

"Puff!" Another sneer sounded.

Wu Tai looked over and said, "Miss Pomegranate, don't blame me for telling the truth. I abide by the law and cannot cover up for you! A life for a life, you better plead guilty!"

Shi Liu looked at him and said, "Your story is so wonderful that I almost believed it. But, I'd like to ask you a question. You said that Chen Si caught me having a tryst with you, so I killed him to silence him. But you and your servant saw me killing him with your own eyes. Why didn't I silence him?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people outside who had been talking excitedly were stunned, and then their attitude changed direction, just like fence-sitters, leaning in whichever direction the wind blows.

"That's right! We've already killed Chen Si, so why are we afraid of getting involved in two more deaths?"

"What Chen Si saw only ruined his reputation, but what Wu Tai and his servant saw was a fatal incident. If it were me, I would definitely kill them both to silence them. Why did they only tie up two people, and tie them up at the crime scene?"

"I say, what Wu Tai said is too flawed."

"."

Wu Tai panicked for a moment, but soon calmed down and said, "How do I know what Miss Pomegranate was thinking? Maybe you were just thinking about escaping the scene quickly and didn't think about silencing her?" After that, he bowed to Magistrate Zhang and said, "Please examine it, Your Excellency. Everything I said is true. It was Miss Pomegranate who killed Chen Si!"

Magistrate Zhang looked at Shi Liu and asked, "Li Shi Liu, what do you have to say?"

In his heart, he didn't believe that Shi Liu would kill anyone, so he just wanted to see how Shi Liu would prove himself.

Shi Liu said, "Sir, I want to ask Wu Tai a few questions."

Magistrate Zhang didn't think twice and said, "Ask."

Wu Tai was startled: Why does it seem like the county magistrate is biased towards Li Shiliu?

"Wu Tai, you said I asked you to meet me at Qing Moss Lane at 15:00 last night. So, when did you arrive, when did I arrive, and when did Chen Si come in?"

Asking questions while kneeling would make one lose momentum. Seeing that Magistrate Zhang turned a blind eye, Shi Liu stood up inadvertently while he was opening his mouth.

Wu Tai saw that she was about to look up, and his mind raced, "I remember that I arrived before 15:00, and you came after a short while. Then, Chen Si should not have come in later than 35:00!"

"Are you sure it's three quarters past ten?"

".Sure!" Wu Tai swallowed. Why did it seem like he was a criminal being interrogated?

Shi Liu immediately turned to Magistrate Zhang and said, "Sir, according to what Wu Tai said, Chen Si entered Qingtai Lane at about 15:30, and was hit by a stone thrown by a common woman and fell to the ground. He never got up again, but--"

Shi Liu changed the subject and said, "Sir, I have witnesses who can prove that Chen Sihai was still in Qingfeng Tavern at that time!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Wu Tai looked panicked. He shouldn't have mentioned the specific time!

Magistrate Zhang saw it clearly and slammed the gavel, "Call the witnesses!"

Soon, someone came to the court, "I am Su, the proprietress of Qingfeng Tavern, and I am honored to meet the county magistrate."

"Ms. Su, did you see Chen Si last night?" asked County Magistrate Zhang.

Su said, "Your Excellency, Chen Si is a frequent customer of our tavern. He was also drinking there last night."

"Oh? Do you remember when he left the tavern last night?"

"Your Excellency, I know him well. He drank a little too much last night. When he paid the bill and left, I asked him if he wanted the waiter to take him home. I remember it very clearly. It was already past the hour of midnight. If you don't believe me, there were several other guests who were listening."

With Su's testimony, this is very clear. Magistrate Zhang looked at Wu Tai, "Wu Tai, do you have anything else to say?"

Wu Tai quickly thought of a countermeasure, "Sir, maybe I remembered it wrongly. Yes, I remembered it wrongly! Miss Pomegranate asked me to meet her at 11:00 p.m.!"

Shi Liu said, "Sir, if we met at 15:00, then Chen Si must have entered Qingtai Lane at around 35:00. Not to mention that Chen Si was drunk and stumbled and couldn't walk fast, even if he was a normal person with a normal walking speed, it would take at least 35:00 to get from Qingfeng Tavern to Qingtai Lane! Could it be that Chen Si can fly?"

This makes sense. Magistrate Zhang nodded slightly and said, "Wu Tai, do you have anything else to say?"

"Sir, I remembered it wrongly. Chen Si must have come in at 4:45 or 5:55, 11:00?"

'Snapped'!
Magistrate Zhang slammed the gavel, "What nonsense! How dare you fool me in court? Come! Drag him away and give him thirty lashes before he can answer again!"
