Chapter 635 Call Yamen
Chapter 635 Call Yamen
Su Wan didn’t get offended by what Feng Zihang has said instead her smile widened as she retorted, ” Oh? I thought that you were afraid that I will say something that will make you look suspicious and guilty that’s why you stopped me from speaking.”Feng Zihang cursed inwardly as he looked at Su Wan who was as nosy as ever and said with a smile, ” Guilty? About what? I was with the rest of the villagers and came along with them what is there for me to feel guilty about? It’s not like I have done anything wrong?”
Though he wanted his family to be safe from this incident, he didn’t dare to underestimate Su Wan. Every time someone went against her, she will make it difficult for them to survive in the village, now he didn’t want his family to be entangled in this mess as a whole, thus, Feng Zihang immediately tried to cut himself off the suspicion.
The villagers all nodded as well, though Feng Zihang didn’t help out in extinguishing the fire, he was indeed telling the truth, he was with them all along and also arrived with the rest of the villagers, so it couldn’t be said that he was behind this fire.
Su Wan narrowed her eyes as she looked at Feng Zihang and said, “It’s not like I am saying anything against you either, I never said that fire started because of you.” She motioned to the guards who were standing behind her and asked them to bring Xin Shi in front. ” Its your wife,——” then without giving Feng Zihnag a chance to say anything, she turned to look at Village head Luo and continued, “Village head like I said when I found out that my fields are on fire, I started shouting for help and while I was looking around the fields trying to search for something that will prove helpful to put the fire out, I saw that a black figure hiding in the bushes were trying to run away, I almost immediately understood that the person running away was the one who set my fields on fire, so I called the person to stop but instead they started to run even faster.”
” Fortunately, I had a brick in my hand because I came prepared to defend myself and threw it at the culprit to knock them down and that was when I realised that the person who was running away from me was none other than Xin Shi, Feng Zihang’s wife.”
” Nonsense!” Without giving Village head a chance to say anything in this matter, Xin Shi almost immediately shouted as she glared at Su Wan malevolently hoping that she will die here and now with that unborn spawn of hers. ” You are the one who said that you only saw a black figure move, and then you suddenly said that you caught me. How can you catch the right person if it was so dark, that you couldn’t even see who was running in front of you, most probably you just caught someone who was walking towards the river!”
” Is that so?” Though Xin Shi tried to escape the responsibility, Su Wan wasn’t going to let her go that easily, she immediately shot back. ” So, you were walking towards the river in the middle of the night? Out of nowhere?”
” What you are the only one who can take walk in the middle of the night?” said Xin Shi as she stubbornly fought back. ” If you can take a walk around so can I!”
” I never said that you can never walk around the village, but what do you have to say for the strong scent of oil that’s coming from you,” asked Su Wan while she looked at Xin Shi with her eyes narrowed, she wasn’t going to let this woman go! She was the one behind the burning of her crops, if she let her go now then she would not be able to sleep at night!
” I told you that it’s because I spilt oil while I was cooking, all right?” said Xin Shi instantly. ” I made a mistake while cooking, does that means that I have to be treated like this?”
” Not because you made a mistake because you are the only suspect,” said Shen Tian as he stepped forward and pushed his glasses up over his nose. ” I am afraid that if you cannot provide at least one person who can back you up then——”
” My husband..”
” You didn’t hear me properly, I meant to say someone who is not family,” said Shen Tian before Xin Shi could say anything that would annoy them even more. ” If you don’t provide a key witness then I am afraid I will have to call the Yamen.”
Yamen was a big thing to the villagers who haven’t even seen the town properly, they all sucked in a breath and looked at Shen Tian in fear and surprise, he was going to call the Yamen for this? Really?
Xin Shi was shocked as well, her feet started to shake as her heart stumbled a beat before she looked at Shen Tian and said with a small voice, ” Y…Yamen? Who are you trying to scare, I might not be smart enough but I do know a little law myself. I do know that there is no way you can send someone to Yamen without any evidence! If I do not have the evidence, then so you don’t! How can you send me to Yamen?”
” Who says that we don’t have any evidence?” said Shen Tian, he raised his brow and then motioned to his guard who walked towards him with a bucket, that looked pretty simple at first but upon taking another look, everyone could see the word ‘Feng’ written on it. The entire village was used to how petty Xin Shi was, she didn’t want to lend anything to others and because she didn’t want even one thing in her house to be taken away, she would carve or embroider their family name on everything.
Now with this
bucket, everything was clear.
