Chapter 869: Injustice (1)
"How should I know? My husband never makes enemies with anyone. Why would he set fire for no reason? It doesn't make sense!" The woman cried. "If there is no inside information, why would they wrongly accuse my husband? He doesn't even know what the boss of Jinxiu Pavilion looks like. The night before last, he told me that he was a little curious about what the boss looks like and whether he is a man or a woman!"
"We have no grudges against her. What do you think we want? She opened the Jinxiu Pavilion and caused us to lose so much business, but we didn't say anything!" the woman cried. "She clearly wanted to put my husband in jail this time so that she could be the only one in power. My husband was unlucky enough to be her first target."
"Just because you speak louder doesn't mean you are right!" Ji Xiaowu looked at the woman throwing a tantrum and stubbornly refused to listen to advice, and raised her eyebrows. "Besides, your words are a bit too biased. You are determined that your husband is wronged and you can say anything. Do you know that you can be thrown into jail for talking nonsense?"
"If you slander an official appointed by the imperial court, you will be sentenced to several years in prison!" said a passerby nearby, who obviously also knew something about the law.
"What do you mean by helping that adult? It's obviously my family that is being wronged, but you always speak for them!" The woman was furious. These people were always ruining her things, and what she said was clearly the truth.
"What do you mean? You dare to say anything, slandering the adults and damaging the reputation of the government. This is the place to judge innocence. If it can't judge innocence, what's the point of the government? Can you explain it clearly yourself?" Ji Xiaomu looked at the woman seriously.
Passersby around nodded, saying that this was indeed the case.
"It is fair and open, and everyone can see the interrogation process. The reason why your husband was imprisoned is because of the accusations of those three people. They said that they were instigated by your husband. He promised to give them five taels of silver and asked them to set fire to the embroidery workshop. This is a fact with solid evidence!" Ji Xiaomu was glad that Lin Feng had just told her everything, otherwise she would not be clear about these details.
"That's right, I just passed by and watched the interrogation. Those three people identified your husband exactly." Another passerby also spoke up, "I listened to more. Those three people knew that your husband would deny it, so they told me the place where they had the transaction, which was at the side door of your yard."
Even such details had been found out, and others immediately understood that the woman was unwilling to accept the verdict and was making a fuss.
"Woman, you clearly want to harm us. You said these words on purpose and almost made us misunderstand the adults." Several passers-by who were fooled by the woman pointed at her angrily.
"That's right. It's clearly your husband who has the intention to harm others, yet he's still crying out for justice here!" Another passerby was also angry.
"You are talking nonsense! My husband is definitely not guilty! I don't believe it. My husband also said that he didn't do it!" The woman pointed at the passers-by and cursed, "All his money is in my hands. How can he have five taels of silver to find three people? It's impossible!"
"Then what evidence do you have to prove that it has nothing to do with your husband?" asked Ji Xiaomu.
The woman immediately froze, lowered her eyes and remained silent for a moment, then said seriously, "He was wrongly accused!"
Passersby looked at the woman with sympathy, but they believed more in the facts that had been found out. They glanced at the woman and then dispersed.
