Chapter 859 - 858: Rather die with friends than alone!
Where is the perpetrator?
Could it be that upon hearing the commotion, they knew you were coming and fled?
The two officers exchanged glances: "Which way did the perpetrator go? Where’s the back door of this shop?"
They were just about to give chase.
The shopkeeper hurriedly called out to the officers, "Officers! Officers! Don’t leave! The perpetrator is right here! It’s her—"
Lady Fang, who was nearby, poked her head out from the corner when she heard the officers, "Officers! It’s her! Quick, take her to the Yamen!"
The two officers’ faces turned dark immediately. In broad daylight, you expect us to believe this nonsense? The only person here is a delicate and neat little lady. By the looks of it, she’s probably scaring herself silly and hasn’t even run away. And you say she’s the perpetrator? Might as well say she robbed herself!
One of the officers sheathed his drawn sword with discontent and said, "I say, shopkeeper, we’re busy people. We don’t have time for your jokes! If there really were a robber or thief, we’d chase them without a word, but you casually point at a young girl and say she’s the perpetrator. Do you take us for fools?"
Saying that, he glanced at Wang Yongzhu.
Wang Yongzhu looked back at him, appearing innocent and fragile.
