A few beggars came, but everyone was surprised to find that they were actually dressed well.

The assistant was also surprised. To be cautious, he called the waiter over. “Come and identify them. Are they the beggars you’ve seen?”

The waiter didn’t even need to look carefully to recognize them at a glance. He nodded to show that he was right.

It was not the first day that these beggars stayed not far from the inn. They came almost every day and could not be chased away.

The private advisor let him go down and asked the beggars, “Do you know this person?”

He pointed at Gu Yundong.

The beggars nodded. “Yes, yes.”

One of them said, “This girl went to Fulong Inn yesterday. Later on, she saw that we were very hungry and had no food to eat, so she was kind enough to give us some silver fragments and asked us to buy some delicious food and clothes to block the cold. This girl is really a good person.”

“That’s right, that’s right. She’s a good person. We wanted to repay her, but she said no. She only said that she did it to accumulate good fortune for her mother.”

“The clothes we’re wearing are new.”

“We had something hot this morning.”

Gu Yundong listened quietly and felt that it was very strange.

She had never taught them to say such things, but their responses matched her previous statement.

The more Yu Youwei listened, the more he felt like his brain was going to explode.

But what made him break down completely was yet to come.

One of the beggars suddenly stammered and said hesitantly, “Actually, we saw how the fire started last night.”

Everyone was shocked. Even Yu Youwei looked at that person in surprise.

The others nodded. “We heard someone say that he wanted to burn the Renxin Medical Hall down.”

“Who said that?” a crowd outside asked anxiously.

“It’s Dr. Yu.”

The few beggars pointed at Yu Youwei in unison.

Yu Youwei was stunned. He looked at the people in front of him in shock.

The prefecture magistrate finally straightened up slightly. “Tell me everything from the beginning.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Yesterday, we saw Doctor Yu talking to a man wearing a big hat that covered half of his face. He said that since Renxin Medical Hall was already in decline, it was better to burn it down. He could use this fire to do something. He even gave that person a key to the medical hall. We didn’t take it seriously at that time and left. In the end, Renxin Medical Hall really caught fire. At that time, we were the ones who got others to quickly put out the fire.”

Actually, they were the ones who wanted to help Gu Yundong break Yu Youwei’s hand. They had gone to check beforehand, but they did not expect to encounter a fire.

Someone outside the court said, “Yes, I can testify that a few beggars shouted and started a fire. I live next door, and they even helped put out the fire.”

“These young men worked hard. After the fire was extinguished, they said that they were hungry before leaving.”

Yu Youwei jumped up as if he had been struck by lightning. “You’re lying. You’re lying.”

“What are you doing?” The cold-faced constable stepped forward and kicked his leg, causing him to kneel down.

Then, he cupped his fists and said, “Sir, the medical center did start burning from the inside.”

At this moment, Boss Geng, who had already been bandaged and carried over to listen to the case, pointed at Yu Youwei with a furious expression. “It’s actually you. I was wondering why you were so flustered when you ran back yesterday. You ran out as soon as the fire burned. Our Geng family has treated you well, but you actually did such a thing.”

Yu Youwei hurriedly shook his head. “I didn’t.”

However, the prefecture magistrate suddenly slapped the wooden stick. “Don’t quibble. Now that there are witnesses and evidence, you were the one who set the fire in Renxin Medical Hall. Men, take him to jail. As for the matter of him causing Mother Gao’s death, it has yet to be confirmed. If it’s true, we’ll sentence him accordingly. Everyone, dismissed.”

With that, he left. The private advisor and constable disappeared.

The corners of Gu Yundong’s mouth twitched. Wasn’t it so careless? Wasn’t there still a witness who had set the fire?

She walked out in a daze and held Madam Yang’s hand as they left the government office.

Then, she saw her carriage parked not far away. She was stunned for a moment. The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a face that she could not believe..
