It wasn't that she was willing to admit it, but who told her that not only was there something in the restaurant, but even in her little workshop? Even if she did not recognize it, the Prefect could still take out the evidence from the workshop. Before she could find out what was going on, she could only agree to the Prefect's request.

The Prefect glanced at her helplessly.

Even if she did not admit to it, he would still lie to her. Who knew that she would admit to it so readily, causing all the things he had prepared to be useless.

However, seeing that she was only twelve or thirteen and still immature, it was not impossible for her to be confused by his domineering attitude.

As he thought of this, the magistrate was greatly relieved. He patted the wood and shouted, "Do you know that the pastries served by Happy Restaurant and XinWang Restaurant today led to the stomachs of more than a dozen people. Not only were they vomiting and diarrhea, they even became delirious and fainted?"

To be honest, she was magnanimous, but she also had a strict resistance. Now, she didn't have any background, so she had to bear a heavy burden and only knew how to use the trump card.

Chen Mu Mu nodded his head, "Understood."

The helplessness of admitting his guilt came back to him. The Prefect held up his hat and shouted again, "Then, did you admit to having evil intentions and want to harm those people's lives?"

This crime was too big to admit.

Chen Mu Mu Mu was at a loss, "Sir, what are you talking about? When this humble girl engages in business, she naturally requests for money and peace. She has no enmity with those people, so why should I harm their lives?" "All I ask for is to sell a few more pastries so that they can live a good life. That would be the only way for them to bring me fortune, wouldn't it?"

"That makes sense." "You really have no motive to harm those people."

"Cough, cough." The Prefect's stance was not firm, so the Grand Master coughed twice and reminded, "Your excellency, you cannot only listen to the words of the prisoner. If there are no grievances or grievances, then why must you do such a thing? She must have planned this long in advance.

"That makes sense, Chen Mu Mu. From what I see, you have a ruthless heart, don't try to quibble!" When the Prefect heard this, he hurriedly agreed.

The corner of Chen Mu Mu's mouth widened into a smile. These two idiots' IQ were not online at all. How did they manage the yamen till now?

He lowered his eyes and said softly, "My lord, this commoner is not quibbling, but the truth. This commoner truly has no motive to harm them." Besides, this commoner is doing business with the Shangguan family, this commoner is courting death, I can't drag the Shangguan family in, can I? "

She had no power or influence by herself and was being bullied by others, but the Shangguan family was not the same.

The name of the richest man in the Linzhou resounded like thunder in everyone's ears. Although the citizens did not fight with the officials, the truly rich men had many things they could do. Within the Linzhou City Realm, even a government official would have no choice but to give the Shangguan Family some face.

Now that she had pulled Shangguan's family in and tied them to the same rope, the prefect had to think twice before moving her.

The Prefect and Grand Master were a little foolish, but they weren't really stupid. Upon seeing Chen Mu Mu bring out the Shangguan Family, their faces couldn't help but change slightly.

The Grand Master was the Grand Master after all, so he was momentarily at a loss. He quickly recovered and said angrily, "You little girl, you are just spouting nonsense. What kind of status does the Shangguan family have? "It must be that your mind isn't right, you want to put something in the pastries to confuse others, and you have fooled the Shangguan family!"

"That's right, it's exactly like this. A little girl like you with a vicious heart. Not only did you harm the lives of ordinary people, you even tried to take advantage of the reputation of the Shangguan family!" When the Prefect saw the staircase leading down, he hastily went down, clapping his hands together in surprise. "I have never seen a woman as vicious as you. You should drag her down and cut her off!"

"Milord." Chen Mu Mu Mu was not afraid of him, and smiled faintly, "If you want to chop me down, this commoner naturally has no objections, but recently I heard that the Emperor had sent an imperial minister to tour the land, to take charge of the people's affairs, and he is almost at the Linzhou as well. That lord is extremely jealous of evil, and also very good at using heavy punishment. For the sake of this commoner's injustice, it seems very inappropriate to put on your black hat. "

"What did you say!" When the Prefect heard this, he immediately stood up and glared at her. "How dare you curse me!"

"I do not dare, but I do feel that with how precious adults are, they shouldn't have sacrificed so much for me." She smiled happily, "Moreover, this matter involves the Shangguan family. Even if I have committed a sin, the Shangguan family will not take it lying down."

"How dare you threaten our lord!" The Grand Master was so angry that his beard was sticking up. "Chen Mu Mu, do you know that my rules state that those who go against the lord's will be punished?"

"How would I dare to contradict an adult? This commoner only wants to seek an order for this commoner and this commoner has to be completely innocent." She pouted her lips and said, "Sir, you see, this commoner was poor earlier, so his face was yellow and muscular. He only has a few pieces of meat on him, how could he withstand a few pieces of a commoner's plate?" If you can't endure your death, doesn't that mean you have to implicate the reputation of the Lord, making you suffer the infamy of being punished without permission? "

"You little girl." "You are quite sharp-tongued. No wonder you can come out to do business at such a young age."

The Prefect was also angered to the point that his face turned green, "Your glib tongue won't be able to change the fact that you almost killed people by eating your family's pastries. With the witness and evidence present, what else do you have to say?"

"This commoner has nothing to say." Chen Mu's lips curled up. "Your excellency, you are a commoner under the blue sky. This commoner firmly believes that you can see through the crude scheme of it with a glance. This commoner will give justice to this commoner, and will also give justice to those commoners who have eaten a bad stomach."

A tall hat covered his face. The Prefect was flabbergasted, unable to release his anger.

The Grand Master was also fuming, and he immediately picked up on the important words, "So you're saying that you don't admit your wrongs?"

"If you haven't done it before, how can you admit your mistake? This commoner isn't a thousand-year-old bastard; he's the scapegoat for everything." She smiled warmly, narrowed her eyes and looked at the two people in the hall who were so angry that they seemed like they were going to jump to their feet, "Sir, you are wise and wise, you wouldn't do such a harsh sentence to force a confession, right?"

Damn, he had sealed the Prefect's next move with just one sentence.

The Prefect panted heavily as he furiously slapped the wooden board, "Chen Mu Mu, with your lecherous words and appearance, I can beat you up just like that!"

"Lord, are you going to compromise?" Chen Mu Mu Mu raised his head and looked at him, "But if I confess, the Shangguan family will be implicated as well."

Dong. The Prefect's body trembled. He was so excited that he couldn't control his strength. He hit the corner of the table, causing his face to twist in pain.

The Grand Master was shocked as he glared at Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu, "You little brat, you're bullying me too much. Do you think the government has no other way to deal with you?"

How could she be the one to bully others? She was clearly defending her rights and interests, and this Prefect and Grand Master were actually praising her.

Chen Mu Mu smiled as he bowed his head. "This commoner doesn't dare to do so. As the lord, I shall do whatever you say."

"Pah!" The Prefect was so angry that his teeth hurt, and his lumbar spine that had just been hit hurt. He could not bear to get entangled with her, so he slapped the wood and said with a gasp, "The evidence is insufficient now, and the prisoner does not plead guilty. We will lock him up for three days until the case is properly investigated." "Retreat!"

Chen Mu Mu was brought to his feet by someone, and when he turned his head to look at the Prefect and Grand Master, a mocking glint flashed in his eyes.

The Prefect and Grand Master were much easier to deal with than he had expected. However, the Prefect and Grand Master who were easily tricked seemed to have their case become even more complicated.

Along the way, Constable Wang shook his head: "Lady Chen, you shouldn't have contradicted the lord. In this prison, no matter how powerful your background is, if the lord orders you, you won't have a good life."

Chen Mu Mu looked at him in astonishment. "Aren't you afraid that he will fix you by openly speaking ill of your master?"

"You won't harm me, will you?" Constable Wang cast a sidelong glance at her, "I am only thinking for your sake."

"Of course not." Chen Mu nodded as his eyes darted around the room. "However, based on what you said, Brother Wang, will the cell be quiet tonight?"

"The prison has never been at peace." Constable Wang looked at her deeply, "You are a smart person, but you are still young. There are some things you cannot see through.

That was the reason, but the person who was willing to tell her was the first person in Constable Wang.

Chen Mu smiled as he nodded his head, "Brother Wang, I will remember this. Thank you for your reminder."

A voice full of gratitude caused Constable Wang to pause for a moment. When he opened the cell door, he whispered: "Someone is bringing you food tonight. Don't eat it."

There seemed to be more tricks involved here than she had expected.

A sharp glint of light flashed past Chen Mu Mu Mu's eyes as he lowered his gaze. "I understand."

The Constable Wang sent her to the prison and left. Chen Mu Mu Mu had nothing to do and found a corner to sit in.

This was the first time she had been in a prison since ancient times. The situation in the prison was similar to that recorded on the television. A group of prisoners were stuck in the same cell, unable to take care of hygiene and without a special place to relieve themselves.

Fortunately, the cell she was in was full of women. Women loved to be clean, so the floor was covered with a layer of dry straw. The feces were also concentrated in a corner. It was relatively clean and not hard to accept.

With her were four women, a white-haired woman, a large woman with a round waist, a weak little daughter-in-law, and a rougher girl.

Seeing their new comrade, the four of them stared at him with wide eyes. Their eyes were filled with curiosity, doubt, lament, and schadenfreude.

Chen Mu Mu didn't care what expressions they used to look at her. She had been in the prison for a long time, so she didn't have any twisted mind-set. She didn't plan to stay here for a long time, nor did she want to waste her energy on conflicts with them.

It was just that she didn't want to cause trouble, and others might want to as well. Those gazes had thoroughly sized her up. As time passed, their hesitation and deliberation slowly faded away, and bit by bit, her courage swelled up.

"Hello, newcomer." The woman called out to her, "Why are you hiding so far away? Come here!"
