Chapter 531: Chapter 531: Is There No Law Anymore!

Xu Chun sneered twice, "Chief Li, I saw with my own eyes that there are stolen goods in their house. Since you are here, go and search, and you’ll know I’m not lying."

Chief Li held his hand, "Stop talking nonsense."

Then Chief Li smiled amiably at Li Sui’s father, "Mr. Li, we are family. Others might not know your character, but I do. The idea of stolen goods is absurd!"

Xu Chun’s face turned grim as he shouted towards the door, "Everyone, come see, there’s stolen goods in the Li family’s jade shop!" His voice was loud and unceasing, instantly attracting the townspeople.

Chief Li gritted his teeth as he looked at Xu Chun, "Shut up, you’re a madman!"

Doing this would only harm him. Can he investigate the Li family’s matters now?

Isn’t this just making trouble for himself?

He originally came to the Li family quietly today to apologize to Li’s parents, but now everything was ruined by Xu Chun, this fool who ruined his plans!

The number of onlookers increased, and people began to talk.

A man in coarse clothing said with his hands in his pockets, "Isn’t this Chief Li? Why is he at the Li family? Did the Li family do something wrong again?"

"Impossible, right? Have you heard? Li Sui joined the army!" Another man with a red nose frowned.

A woman holding a bamboo basket shook her head, "The Li couple are just too honest. With Li Sui away, they are always bullied."

"Sigh, just now he mentioned stolen goods in the jade shop, what’s that about?"

Someone whispered, "Everyone knows what kind of person Xu Chun is. Don’t listen to his nonsense."

Someone suggested, "Hey, let’s take a look, and give the Li family their justice!"

Xu Chun looked at the townspeople with confidence, beating his chest, "I, the shopkeeper, saw the Li family’s jade shop hiding stolen goods. If I’m lying, may I die horribly!"

Mr. Li’s eyes turned red as he looked at Xu Chun, this despicable person trying to tarnish their jade shop’s reputation.

He looked at Chief Li and sincerely said, "I’m willing to go with Chief Li. Please ensure that justice prevails for the Li family. I’ve lived honestly, and there’s nothing illegal in the jade shop!"

Chief Li saw the increasing crowd, and the voices of the people grew louder.

Additionally, since Mr. Li requested it, he whispered in Mr. Li’s ear, "Mr. Li, we shouldn’t go. Xu Chun is definitely saying this on purpose. Don’t believe him. Being told off means nothing. With so many people here, it’s inconvenient. I’ll help teach him a lesson another day!"

Mr. Li, who lived his life upright and honest, was publicly insulted by Xu Chun now, which would hurt his business more than benefit!

If rumors spread, how could he do business in the future?

Mr. Li insisted, "I’ve lived a life of integrity, and there’s no way I’ve hidden anything illegal. Please, Chief Li, inspect the jade shop and clear my name!"

Chief Li’s face looked troubled; he didn’t expect Li Sui’s father to be so stubborn!

If something were found in the Li’s jade shop, and he discovered it, whom was he offending? The Li family? No, it would mean offending the Empress!

At the thought of this, his heart raced, and he felt uneasy all over.

Then he had an idea: if he went to search, he could conveniently help cover up anything, thus protecting the Li family, and gaining a favor from them.

Given Li Sui’s parents’ characters, they would surely forgive past grievances!

With this realization, he suddenly found the plan feasible.

Chief Li, holding his saber, full of righteous air, looked at the citizens, "He says one thing, and she says another, so let this Chief go investigate."

Xu Chun felt very proud upon hearing Chief Li’s words, just watch, the Li family is about to be ruined!

What good outcome comes from opposing him? Ultimately, Chief Li accepted his bribe. A mouth fed by others speaks softly, hands taking from others do not resist. In the end, Chief Li will have to stand by his side.

Mr. Li and Mrs. Li, clear of conscience, took the jade shop’s key and walked ahead openly.

The onlookers, unlike high officials, did not have many ways to pass the time.

Hence, they were very interested in such events and flocked to the entrance of the Li’s jade shop to watch the truth unfold.

Mr. Li unlocked the jade shop’s door, lit several candles, brightening the small shop.

He looked at the crowd, then said openly, "Chief Li, please!"

Chief Li thought that he must let the Li family owe him a favor. He couldn’t let the other constables accompany him inside.

He looked at the remaining constables and said, "You wait here, I’ll investigate first."

Mr. Li followed Chief Li; with only Chief Li entering with him, and so many watching, if Chief Li dared to tamper, he would risk his life to report him to the Capital Government.

Years ago, it was this very Chief Li who forcefully shackled his son and sent him to the Capital Government.

Was he colluding with Xu Chun today to frame his family?

The more civilians watching, the more confidence he had!

He couldn’t believe there was no place for justice in this world! Was there no law?

Mrs. Li also went inside, while Xu Chun waited outside with a sinister smile.

He thought to himself: Just wait, those self-righteous Li Family folks, are about to meet their end!

With the government gate opening southwards, don’t enter without reason or money!

As long as he gave a little bribe, the Li family might as well be prepared to die in prison!
