Shu Yu could have directly let Zhou Tiedong come to the Office to beat the drum and file a complaint. By then, the officers would have locked up Chen Bing.
But wasn't this what Third Lu requested, to give him a good beating? If they just locked him up without a chance to lay hands on him themselves, it wouldn't feel satisfying.
Moreover, she found Chen Bing's current expression of hope turning to despair and then hope again quite interesting.
Shu Yu stepped forward, standing in front of Zhou Tiedong, and faced Qi Lie to state, "Lord, recently during the county magistrate's assistance with Lord Xia in a case, I happened to interrogate someone. That person was a former constable in Chenggu County, and among the charges he confessed, there was one about colluding with the merchant Chen Bing to beat and frame Zhou Tiedong, who was once a staff member at the Chen Family's grocery store."
Constable? Chen Bing's face changed dramatically. Is she talking about Constable Li?
