Chapter 95 Confrontation
The magistrate said urgently:
"That maid was poisoned when she came out of your hot pot restaurant. Wasn't it because of your hot pot restaurant?"

Meng Siyin lay back on the back of the chair, took a sip of the tea on the cup, looked at him coldly, and opened his mouth slowly.

"Where's the evidence? The magistrate should know that you can't arrest people without evidence, right? Your government is so eager to arrest people, I'm afraid it's not trying to be submissive, right?"

The idea was seen through by Meng Siyin, and the county magistrate broke out in a cold sweat.

Meng Siyin looked straight at him.

"So either you show evidence, or you let go!"

Seeing this, the guard hurried forward, and the two whispered again.

Chu Baozhu also lay beside Meng Siyin's ear and whispered:
"Siyin, do you think the county magistrate will let people go?"

"Don't worry, forgive him and don't dare to detain anyone. If this matter becomes a big issue, even if there is someone behind him, the black yarn will definitely not be guaranteed!"

Chu Baozhu nodded as if she understood.

The county magistrate is very entangled now. He does not dare to let people go or offend Meng Siyin. He is caught in the middle and is in a dilemma.

The guard made a bad move for him, asking him to hold Meng Siyin back, and go to the prison to force him to find out the evidence.

After the guard finished speaking, he left the inner hall.

The county magistrate also called the maid and gave Meng Siyin some cakes and tea.

"Miss Meng, have some refreshments first, wait a moment, don't you want evidence? I'll have someone pick it up."

Meng Siyin's heart skipped a beat, thinking that the guard was probably going to prison.

Meng Siyin stood up abruptly and was about to chase after him.

"Someone, please sit down, Miss Meng!"

In an instant, a group of people came in and surrounded Meng Siyin and Chu Baozhu.

"I think who dares? Do you know who I am? I am the daughter of General Chu. If you dare to touch a hair on this lady, my father will not spare you!"

Chu Baozhu stretched out her finger and pointed at the noses of those people.

"Go back, let me back, let me see who dares to stop!"

The magistrate did not expect that the woman beside Meng Siyin was actually the daughter of General Chu. Previously, she only thought that this woman was dressed in silk and satin. She thought she was not an ordinary woman, but she did not expect her to have a great background.

Those officers and soldiers were a little stunned, and she was stopped by her.

Meng Siyin smiled and gave Chu Baozhu a thumbs up.

She took Chu Baozhu's hand, and the two made a gesture to go out.

"Stop them, no matter who's daughter she is, no one can leave this palace gate today!"

The officers and soldiers hesitated, and the magistrate continued to shout:

"Come on! Do you want to offend Uncle Guo?"

The officers and soldiers rushed forward, drew Chu swords, and stood in front of them.

The two looked at each other, Meng Siyin turned around, looked at the magistrate, and said sarcastically:
"The magistrate is so powerful?"

The magistrate had broken the jar, and he shouted:

"Everyone is offended, hold you first, wait for the guys in the prison to spit, and have evidence, then you can't do anything even if you have a great background!"

Meng Siyin snorted coldly and finally told the truth.

"Come on, press down."

Meng Siyin pulled Chu Baozhu to avoid the blades of the officers and soldiers. She took out the jade whistle from her sleeve and blew it twice.

The two dark guards came in and showed King Zhao's hand.

"His Royal Highness King Zhao is in personal guard, please step back!"

That kind of officers and soldiers have never seen such a scene, and they threw down their weapons and retreated.

"What are you doing? I'm a court official, I see who of you dares to touch me!"

The county magistrate was already in a cold sweat, but he was still stubborn.

"The imperial court's official? Collusion with others to frame and detain the people privately. Is that how you are a messenger?"

The dark guard scolded coldly, quite the shadow of King Zhao.

The county magistrate was so frightened that he fell from his chair and fell to the ground, begging for mercy again and again.

"His Royal Highness King Zhao spared his life, and the lower official was also coerced!"

He crawled to Meng Siyin's side with his hands and feet, and stretched out his hand to tug at his skirt.

"Miss Meng, Miss Meng, spare your life!"

Meng Siyin kicked him away and said indifferently:
"Where's my buddy?"

The magistrate raised his head and answered inarticulately:

"In...in the prison...

"Don't let anyone go!"

"Yes... I'm going to let you go, here's someone!"

Several officers and soldiers came in from the outside with their heads lowered and knelt on the ground.

"Go and let the hot pot shop guys out."

"Yes!"

Meng Siyin's eyes showed contempt, and asked the dark guard to bring a pen and paper, and still in front of him.

"The cause and effect of this matter, whoever is in charge, write it down to me word for word!"

"Yes!"

Meng Siyin sat back in the chair, and Chu Baozhu also sat aside with a cold face.

"You send people to follow his men, and bring all the guys in the store to prevent them from having unclean things under their hands!"

"Yes!"

Without a single stick of incense, the magistrate took a dense confession and held it tremblingly before Meng Siyin.

The latter put down the tea in his hand and took a closer look.

The uncle of the country sent people to deal with it, coercing and enticing him, and he was about to ask for the recipe of the Mengjia hot pot restaurant, and also asked the guys to falsely accuse Meng Siyin of instructing the hot pot restaurant to poison customers.

How vicious!
After Meng Siyin read it, she threw the confession on the table, and her face immediately changed color.

The county magistrate was kneeling on the ground, and he didn't look like he was calm at all.

"Miss Meng, this is all forced by my uncle, and there is no way for Xiaguan to do anything. If Xiaguan doesn't listen to them, Xiaguan will lose this black gauze hat!"

Meng Siyin thought it was funny, and he really dared to say it.

"Aren't you afraid of losing your head by doing such a dirty thing?"

The county magistrate was lying on the ground, already sobbing.

Meng Siyin rolled her eyes in her heart. She was so timid and learned to do bad things. I really don't know how he got this official position.

Seeing this, Chu Baozhu also picked it up and looked at it, and immediately became angry.

"Okay, you guys have colluded to do this kind of unscrupulous thing, but you are still the magistrate of the capital, the capital of Youyou, the emperor's feet, you are too bold!"

Chu Baozhu patted the table and pointed at the county magistrate's nose and cursed.

While talking, the guys from the hot pot restaurant were brought up by the dark guard.

Everyone had signs of torture, and the head shopkeeper was covered in blood.

"Sound Store Manager..."

"Quick, help him sit down!"

Meng Siyin asked the dark guard to help the shopkeeper aside,
"Store Manager Yin, I can't do it!"

Meng Siyin's nose was sore, and looking at the wounds on his body, he knew that he had suffered a lot.

The dark guard came up and reported back.

"When I went over, those dirty people were being severely tortured, and they were holding a prepared confession to ask him to be detained. The shopkeeper vowed to die, so he was beaten like this!"

The shopkeeper's face was mixed with blood and tears, but there was still determination.

"Go get someone to take them to the hospital!"

Chu Baozhu ran out, and within a moment, a few people came in with a stretcher.

Before the shopkeeper was carried away, the stream of tears looked at Meng Siyin.

"Manager Yin, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of the hot pot restaurant for you, I wasted your trust!"
