Chapter 294: Two Wrongs Don’t Make a Right
Zhang Fei had originally planned to go over there today to take a look, because he anticipated that this matter would certainly alarm Cao Ping, and that Gu Ji’s side would definitely send people as well. He was somewhat uneasy about it.
But before he could even leave, Su Shi blocked his way back.
Ever since Su Shi had lost last time, he had become increasingly obsessed with litigation. Not only had he not been discouraged, but he had become more determined with each setback, eagerly anticipating court arguments every day.
“You said before that the main responsibility of the prosecutor’s office is to prosecute. Now that the General Police Bureau wants to prosecute Spring Breeze Ten Li, this should rightfully fall under our prosecutor’s office’s jurisdiction.”
Zhang Fei helplessly exchanged glances with Xu Zhiqian, then said to Su Shi, “Mr. Su, I was merely making a suggestion at the time. I’m just a clerk. It’s useless for you to come to me about this matter – you need to go to the General Police Bureau.”
Su Shi snorted, “Don’t take me for a fool. Nine times out of ten, you’re the one making the decisions here. You simply don’t trust me.”
Zhang Fei simply nodded, “Speaking personally, I indeed do not trust you, because this lawsuit is one that you may not be able to handle.”

Zhang Fei pondered briefly, then asked, “May I ask, sir, if a peddler is sitting by the roadside resting and a passing carriage knocks over the peddler’s goods, who bears responsibility?”
