章 592: Burning the Barn

Wang Zhi and the others simply washed the dust off their bodies and came to look for Lin Su to tell him about discovering the fire. Lin Su noted down Wang Zhi's words and asked him to sign before letting him go.

Then, he asked a few bailiffs. A strong bailiff said to Lin Su, "Advisor Lin, I was resting in the house when I suddenly heard Wang Zhi call for water. That's why I ran out."

The tall and thin bailiff said, "When Wang Zhi came, he was talking about eating with Hou Wen when he came back. His stomach felt uncomfortable from the wine. Did he eat something unclean?"

Lin Su looked at them. "Then did you notice anyone suspicious sneaking into the county office?"

They said in unison, "No. We ran out of the room when we heard the shout."

Lin Su recorded their words and got them to sign. Then, he stood up and walked to the backyard.
