Chapter 101: The Innocent Are Self-Cleansing

"Huh? What kind of talk is that? Don't go slandering an innocent person; I haven't done anything," Zhao Gangzi waved his hands hurriedly, his face full of innocence.

He also took the opportunity to deactivate the Diarrhea Talisman effect on the sausages by the window, and even removed the defense near the vegetable patch.

"Shazhu, if you said it, then admit it. Don't drag others into everything; you have absolutely no sense of propriety, justice, honesty, or shame!"

Liu Haizhong also stepped forward.

He directly accused Shazhu in public, and the Third Uncle also chimed in; both of these men had been chatting in the front earlier and had no opportunity to commit the act.

Besides, the way Bang Geng looks, it is clearly poisoning; perhaps a snake came into the Siheyuan and bit him.

"Impossible! Only our two households live here in the Middle Courtyard, and Bang Geng had his accident right here; it must be because of him!"

Shazhu shouted anxiously, but no one around him believed him; after all, Zhao Gangzi's reputation in the Siheyuan was quite good, and most people had received favors from him.

Even Qin Huairu did not believe this; instead, her suspicion remained focused on Shazhu, and she couldn't help but curse loudly: "Shazhu, can you stop pretending? Hurry up and return my son's life! Sob, sob, sob..."

"I was such a fool to trust you; I never thought you were this kind of person!"

"Sister Qin, I... I... I..."

Shazhu felt that even if he grew a mouth all over his body, he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.

Jia Zhangshi, listening from the side, heard it clearly. Could there be something going on between this pair of dogs? Could it be that Shazhu really did this, wanting to leave the Jia Family without descendants?

Jia Zhangshi looked heartbroken. Now, not only was Bang Geng pitch-black all over and unconscious, but his stomach was also rumbling, and filthy things were constantly being discharged from his backside, very much like those two times their family had diarrhea before.

"I think Shazhu did this. Yesterday, I saw this brat and Qin Huairu go to the abandoned warehouse outside the factory together. Who knows if they were fooling around..."

"Maybe he wanted to murder Jia Dongxu and ended up harming this child instead!"

"This is a crime! To actually do such a thing; just looking at Shazhu's wretched appearance, he must have some island nation blood in him..."

The surrounding neighbors kept pointing fingers at Shazhu. Even Shazhu himself wondered if he had done it, but he hadn't! He only told Bang Geng to go steal sausages from Zhao Gangzi's house...

Sausages? It really was Zhao Gangzi who did it!

At this thought, Shazhu looked at the gloating Zhao Gangzi with venomous eyes, pointed his finger, and shouted: "Now that things have come to this, I'll tell the truth!"

"It was Zhao Gangzi who poisoned Bang Geng; what a ruthless heart!"

"Didn't I just tell Bang Geng to sneakily take a few of your sausages? Is that worth poisoning us? If he dies, you must pay with your life!"

Things having reached this point, Shazhu stopped hiding anything and laid out the whole story of how he had incited Bang Geng to steal, including how he had deliberately lured Zhao Gangzi to the Front Courtyard to buy time.

Once these words were out, the crowd was incensed, and the cursing grew louder.

"You really aren't a human being! To actually incite a child to steal; hurry up and get out of our Siheyuan!"

"My god! The upper beam is crooked, so the lower ones are askew. With a father like He Daqing and a godfather like Yi Zhonghai, they raised such a thing..."

"..."

Shazhu felt his scalp tingle, but compared to his ruined reputation, it was better than going to the Police Station and eating lead for poisoning.

Jia Zhangshi was also dumbfounded; she hadn't expected this thing to be even better at educating Bang Geng than she was. If anything happened to her youth, she would never forgive Shazhu.

"Brother! I never thought you were this kind of person. From now on, I am no longer your sister; we are severing our relationship!"

He Yushui rushed out from the crowd and slapped Shazhu directly in the face.

"Yushui, I... I... I..."

Shazhu didn't know what to say.

"Zhao Gangzi, you actually dared to poison my Bang Geng! I'll fight you to the death!"

Jia Zhangshi bared her fangs and brandished her claws, her face full of malice, and lunged at Zhao Gangzi. But the next moment, she was kicked down by Zhao Gangzi, who sneered: "You say I poisoned him, so I poisoned him? Do you have any evidence?"

"I won't stand for having such labels slapped on me. Do you think I'm honest and easy to bully?"

"Stop pretending! It must be because he ate your sausages that he got poisoned. Now the human evidence and material evidence are conclusive; your sausages are still hanging on the window," Shazhu shouted hurriedly, then rushed over to take down the sausages by the window, saying: "This is the criminal evidence!"

"If we send them to the Hospital for testing, there must be poison in them!"

Shazhu spoke with such certainty that quite a few people were swayed. Looking at the current situation, it really might be Zhao Gangzi playing tricks.

"Gangzi, what do you have to say about this?"

Liu Haizhong's face darkened. If this were true, let alone him, even Factory Director Yang Feng wouldn't be able to protect Zhao Gangzi.

But Zhao Gangzi remained calm and indifferent, responding: "The innocent are self-cleansing. If you don't believe me, shall I eat them for you to see right now?"

Zhao Gangzi took a sausage and ate it without a word, eating it with great relish, the oil sizzling; even the Third Uncle was tempted.

Seeing this, Zhao Gangzi took another one and gave it to the Third Uncle. Yan Bugui didn't think it would harm him and took a big bite; nothing happened at all.

"There's nothing wrong with this sausage! It's my first time eating this stuff; I'd only seen it before but never tasted it. It's truly a delicacy of the world!"

Yan Bugui praised it endlessly.

Seeing that nothing happened, the Second Uncle Liu Haizhong also plucked one down to taste and similarly began to praise it.

"Let me taste it too!"

Jia Zhangshi was drooling and rushed up, wanting one, but was kicked down by Zhao Gangzi again. He laughed: "Eat your ass, you eat. You'd better worry about your grandson first!"

"Shazhu, my sausages are fine. Do you want to taste one too?"

Zhao Gangzi wore a cold sneer; this brat was still too green to fight with him.

"This, this, this, this is impossible!" Shazhu panicked instantly. The people nearby didn't go easy on him; they stepped forward and pinned Shazhu to the ground, fearing he would sneak away like last time, and even used rope.

"Send this brat to the Police Station first. Not only did he poison someone, but he also incited Bang Geng to steal from others; shooting him a hundred or eighty times wouldn't be enough!"

Liu Guangfu was filled with righteous indignation; he first picked up a fire poker and beat Shazhu's backside, then joined his little friends in strongly demanding he be sent to the Police Station.

"Ah! My Bang Geng! Why is your life so miserable?"

Qin Huairu started crying again when she saw the situation. Bang Geng looked like he was about to die; his eyes were rolled back, he was still defecating uncontrollably, and his skin was pitch-black.

"You little bitch, why are you still crying? Hurry up and send my precious grandson to the Hospital! If anything happens to him, you don't need to come back!"

Jia Zhangshi jumped in anxiety and cursed, grabbing Bang Geng to head to the Hospital. Qin Huairu wanted to as well, but the family not only had no money, but they also owed 40 yuan in external debt.
