"Sir, it was Xingyu Winery that struck first. There were only five of us here, while Xingyu Winery had more than ten people including the manager. With fewer people, how could we possibly be the ones to start the fight? If a fight broke out, it would obviously be us at a disadvantage, so we would never do such a thing."
Su Yunjin didn't give Shopkeeper Sheng a chance to speak, seizing the initiative by saying, "Sir, my husband and I had intended to wait for you to come so we could entrust the entire matter of Zuixiang Restaurant to your judgment. However, Shopkeeper Sheng had a guilty conscience, for he was harboring Liu Kui and Fan Wu, fearing that you would bring people over and catch Liu Kui and Fan Wu red-handed in his shop, he took the initiative to try to control us and then let the two of them escape."
Su Yunjin laid out Shopkeeper Sheng's intentions without missing a beat. Shopkeeper Sheng felt a wave of guilt, and the Magistrate was not a fool.
