In the prison of the government office, Ning Ziqing sat leisurely on the ground and leaned against the wall with her eyes closed to meditate.

Shortly after noon, several government officials rushed in in a panic and opened Ning Ziqing's cell, then retreated to a distance and waited respectfully.

Ning Ziqing opened her eyes and saw Huo Yunjue, dressed in military uniform, appearing in front of him with a gloomy face and questioning her angrily.

"Ning Ziqing, you've only been back to Kyoto for a few days, and you've already sent yourself to prison. You're really good!"

Ning Ziqing waved to him with a smile and said hello: "Your Highness, the Fourth Highness, is really well-informed."

She stretched out her hand to Huo Yunjue, motioning for him to pull her up. Huo Yunjue glanced at her and ignored her with a cold face.

Ning Ziqing took back her hand in displeasure, stood up consciously, and walked out of the cell angrily.

After brushing the dust off her dress, Ning Ziqing asked Huo Yunjue doubtfully, "Why are you here? Didn't I ask Yaoyao to stop my brother? Why did I call you here?"

Huo Yunjue frowned and looked at her and replied: "The commotion at the door of Liu's Mansion in Yuhua Lane was so loud that even the Jinwu Guards were alerted. I happened to meet him when I was passing by, and I learned from Yuanli that you were arrested. Prison."

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed his anger and poked Ning Ziqing's forehead with his finger: "Tell me, what are you going to do?"

Ning Ziqing approached Huo Yunjue with a look of grievance, and said sweetly: "Who let them bully me?" She blinked her almond-shaped eyes and pouted, and quietly hooked Huo Yunjue's hand with her fingers in a coquettish way.

"They just want to get back with revenge."

Seeing her soft and cute look, Huo Yunjue was angry and funny.

He sighed helplessly and could only coax her in a soft tone: "Okay, you go out with me first, how can you stand this place? I will help you deal with them later."

Ning Ziqing immediately shook his head and refused: "You are not allowed to interfere, I can solve it myself. You can just watch the show in peace!"

After saying that, he strode out of the prison with confidence.

Huo Yunjue was well aware of her stubborn temper and could not stop her, so he had to let her go.

At this time, many people gathered in the Yamen Hall of Jingzhao Yin Mansion, including General Jinwu Guards Zhonglang and Gu Liaohe.

As soon as Huo Yunjue arrived, everyone saluted him respectfully.

Jing Zhaoyin invited him to take the main seat. Huo Yunjue said that he was here to listen, lifted his robe and sat next to the desk.

After several officials took their seats, Jing Zhaoyin began to hear the case.

Ning Ziqing and Shopkeeper Hao stood in the courtroom and waited for a while. The officers and soldiers brought Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu up.

Afterwards, both parties knelt in the hall and began to state the details of the case.

Mr. Liu insisted that Sifanglou used spoiled ingredients that caused Mr. Liu to become seriously ill, and demanded that the people of Sifanglou and Ning Ziqing be punished.

Later, Jing Zhaoyin summoned several diners who were at Sifanglou yesterday, and they confirmed that Mr. Liu did become ill after eating at Sifanglou.

Ning Ziqing also admitted this fact, but denied that Sifanglou used spoiled ingredients.

She mentioned that after yesterday's incident, she immediately took the customers in the store to the kitchen to check, but found no abnormalities in the ingredients in the kitchen.

She also described in detail the solution proposed at that time, and how the young man in blue rejected her request to report the matter to the police to find out the reasons, and instead demanded compensation.

Huo Yunjue sat on the chair with a solemn expression, staring at Mr. Liu and his wife with cold eyes.

If he wasn't worried about being in public, he would have wanted Wei Feng to drag these two people down and torture them, forcing them to find out the truth behind their slander against Ning Ziqing.

Both sides insist on their own opinions, and Jing Zhaoyin finds it difficult to resolve the case under complicated circumstances.

Mr. Liu reported to Jing Zhaoyin what happened at the gate of the Liu Mansion when Ning Ziqing and others forced Mr. Liu to be sent to the funeral.

He emotionally accused Ning Ziqing of using such despicable means to wait for an opportunity to retaliate against the Liu family.

Ning Ziqing looked at him calmly and explained: "Mr. Liu, you can't say that! It was you who reported to the officials early in the morning that Mr. Liu was about to die. Although this matter has nothing to do with my Sifang Building, the government sealed the Sifang Building. He even arrested Shopkeeper Hao and me. However, in the spirit of "the dead are the most important", I would like to consider letting Mr. Liu be buried first. In this hot weather, I am worried that you two will fall ill again, so I kindly take care of it for you. .”

"you……!"

Hearing what she said was so upright and awe-inspiring.

Mr. Liu was so angry that he was trembling all over and was speechless for a moment.

Huo Yunjue and Gu Liaohe looked at each other silently, pursed their lips and snickered, knowing what Ning Ziqing was doing.

Huo Yunjue secretly lamented that this little overlord was really ruthless in his methods. He cut off people's lives before they died.

At this time, Jinwu Wei Zhonglang pointed out that this matter had affected the normal traffic of Yuhua Lane, and hoped that Ning Ziqing could withdraw the funeral procession.

Ning Ziqing thought for a while and was about to agree when an officer and soldier suddenly rushed in and reported: Mr. Liu is dead.

Everyone was taken aback.

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she was so shocked that she fainted.

Mr. Liu was stunned for a moment, then roared at Ning Ziqing with grief and anger: "You vicious woman, you killed my son! I want you to pay with your life!"

He glared at Ning Ziqing fiercely, knelt on the ground, beat the ground and cried bitterly: "Please seek justice for my son!"

Upon seeing this, Huo Yunjue was worried that Jing Zhaoyin would convict Ning Ziqing, and wanted to intervene anxiously, but Ning Ziqing quickly gave him a wink to stop him.

Gu Liaohe whispered to Huo Yunjue: "Your Royal Highness, the third lady must have a plan to deal with it. Let's not get involved for the time being."

Huo Yunjue hesitated and nodded.

When things have developed to this point, Jing Zhaoyin believes that the case can be concluded.

So, he asked Ning Ziqing seriously: "Miss Third, do you have anything else to defend?"

Ning Ziqing replied calmly: "Sir, I have nothing to say, I just have a request, and I hope you will grant it."

Jing Zhaoyin glanced at Huo Yunjue, and Huo Yunjue blinked to indicate his agreement.

Jing Zhaoyin nodded in agreement: "What do you want, Miss Third? Please tell me."

Ning Ziqing said solemnly: "I would also like to ask you to allow me to conduct an autopsy to find out whether Mr. Liu's condition really worsened and died due to eating the food from Sifanglou."

Mr. Liu's expression changed drastically and he scolded her angrily: "Don't even think about it. My son just passed away and you still want to humiliate his body. I will never agree!"

Ning Ziqing stared at him with sharp eyes and sneered: "Mr. Liu, if you want to seek justice for Mr. Liu, you also want to clear up the grievances of Sifanglou and me. When you prove the results, won't the truth be revealed? You Why stop it?”

Master Liu met her sharp gaze, his expression tightened, and he lowered his eyes to cover up guiltily.

Seeing him showing a guilty conscience, Ning Ziqing sneered coldly: "Mr. Liu, why don't you let me reveal the secret of this scene!"

After saying that, she raised her hand and snapped her fingers.

Everyone was stunned.

Mr. Liu's eyes widened in shock, with a look of panic on his face.

Soon, Yuanli and Yaoyao escorted several people in.

"Miss, we have brought everyone here." After Yuanli reported back to Ning Ziqing, he and Yaoyao stepped aside.

Those people knelt on the ground tremblingly, kowtowed to Jing Zhaoyin in the hall, and lowered their heads without daring to raise them.

Jing Zhaoyin asked in confusion: "What does Third Miss mean by this?"

Ning Ziqing chuckled: "Sir, what happened yesterday was simply someone deliberately framed Sifanglou and me. As long as these people are interrogated, everything will come to light."

Jing Zhaoyin was stunned when he heard this. Before he could speak, he heard Huo Yunjue say sternly from the side: "This case involves human lives. If someone deliberately deceives and fails to report the knowledge, after the investigation is confirmed, His Highness will not give you mercy!"

"What the Fourth Highness said is true. I will definitely find out the truth and clear the name of Sifanglou and Miss Third."

Jing Zhaoyin couldn't help but tensed up when he saw his stern expression and anger flashing in his eyes, staring closely at the people kneeling in the hall.

He sat in front of the case with a serious look on his face. He suddenly slapped the gavel in his hand, and the whole court was shocked.

"You have been recruited truthfully. If there is any untruth, this government will severely punish you!"

The people in the hall were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat and lost their minds.

Then he told everything he knew.
