"Nonsense! How did a layer of grease turn into evidence?"
The expression of the mushroom seller changed, and he glared at Shen Ning angrily: "Little girl, if you dare to talk nonsense again and accuse good people, I will be rude to you."
"Have you wronged a good person?" Shen Ning chuckled, squinting at him and said, "I can wrong you with what I say, but these words from my own mouth will never wrong a 'good' person like you!"
Without waiting for the mountain mushroom seller to speak, she pressed forward step by step: "You just kept saying that the money was from selling mountain mushrooms, so let me ask you, where did the oil stains on this money come from? You are the only one selling My hands are clean, but why did the money you collected become covered with oil when it fell into the water? This is enough to prove that the money does not belong to you at all, but to the uncle who sells pork! Do you dare to stretch out your hand and let everyone see clearly! Uncle who sells pork, please also stretch out your hand and let everyone have a look!"
The man selling mountain mushrooms suddenly turned pale, with a look of fear in his eyes. He clasped his hands tightly, not daring to reach out.
But the man selling pork laughed heartily, stretched out his big palms, and spread them out in front of everyone.
Everyone nodded when they saw that his hands were indeed covered with oil stains.
"Not bad! This pork seller got the money."
"Haha, the money really speaks for itself."
"It's not the money that speaks, but this girl is really smart."
"Thanks to this girl for coming up with such a clever method, otherwise this mushroom seller would still be fighting to death and refusing to admit it."
"Master County Master, now that the truth has been revealed, please quickly arrest and prosecute this man who stole people's money."
In front of the evidence, the mushroom seller could no longer deny it, so he had to bow his head and admit his guilt. He admitted that he had stolen the 150 cents from the pork seller because of his greed.
County Magistrate Zhou clapped his hands and asked two government officials to escort the man selling mushrooms back to the county government office to await his punishment.
A theft incident like this is only a trivial matter, but it is not an easy task to have a clear trial.
But he never expected that a little girl with an unassuming appearance and a young age could actually reveal the truth of this matter in a simple way. He was really surprised and admired.
"Girl, please stay."
The crowd watching the excitement gradually dispersed, but Magistrate Zhou hurriedly took a few steps, chased after Shen Ning, and called out.
Shen Ning stopped and turned around.
"Lord Magistrate, is something wrong?"
"Hey, you are so rude, why don't you kneel down when you see my lord?"
When the young man named Wu Fu saw her standing up straight without even bending her waist, he felt annoyed and shouted out loud.
Zhui Feng immediately glared at him sharply.
His master is the empress, how could he kneel down to a seventh-grade county magistrate? It is simply ridiculous!
"Five blessings, don't be rude to this girl."
Magistrate Zhou scolded Wu Fu and bowed his hands politely to Shen Ning.
"Please don't be offended by this girl. I just have something to ask you."
Wu Fu was glared at by Zhui Feng and felt a chill on his back. Coupled with the scolding from Magistrate Zhou, Wu Fu did not dare to be rude to Shen Ning anymore.
But he couldn't help but have a look of resentment on his face. He couldn't understand why his master, who was clearly the county magistrate, could be so polite to a little girl from a poor family.
If you have any questions, just send someone to call her to the county government office.
"Excuse me, Master Zhou." Shen Ning answered very politely.
