Rebirth: From being expelled from the imperial court to becoming a high-ranking official

"Sir, he is talking nonsense. How could he not know? He helped Jin Biao to give false testimony. They are in the same group." Yan Guixiang said anxiously, fearing that Qin Yunhe would ask him to let Doctor Chen go.

Qin Yunhe was not in a hurry.

Now that the gap has been opened, he will definitely not be able to escape.

"You're really stubborn."

Qin Yunhe shook his head in disappointment at Doctor Chen and stopped asking questions. He then ordered, "Send Miao Wang's wife to the hall."

Yan Guixiang didn't know that her sister-in-law and nephew had been found. When she heard this, she immediately widened her eyes, turned around and looked towards the door, her eyes full of anticipation.

Miao Wang’s wife was brought up soon.

Yan Guixiang, who hadn't seen her relatives for a long time, burst into tears and crawled over to grab her sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, where have you been..."

Miao Wang's wife, however, dodged with some disgust and knelt down on the side.

Qin Yunhe said, "Miao Wang's wife, someone has accused your husband Miao Wang of adultery with his cousin Yan Guixiang. Do you have anything to say?"

"Sir, I have something to say. My husband Miao Wang and Yan Guixiang have absolutely no private relationship. Yan Guixiang's surname is Miao, and she is Awang's biological sister. Because her aunt had no children, she was taken away by her aunt to be raised as her own daughter when she was young, and that's how the biological siblings became cousins.

But the relationship between the two siblings has always been good. Although Awang often said that his sister was a bit domineering, he couldn't bear to see his sister being wronged.

The reason Yan Guixiang ran away was that she said that Mr. Jin wanted to kill her, and asked Awang to help her escape.

After Awang helped her escape to Pingle County, he came home to pick me and my child up. For the next year, Awang stayed with me.

It was not until more than two months ago that Awang went to find Yan Guixiang because he wanted to ask his sister for some money. But he never came back and was accused of adultery.

My Lord, please help my man clear his name, so that he can go to hell with a clean conscience."

"Don't worry, if Miao Wang is innocent, I will never let him suffer injustice."

Qin Yunhe asked the servant girl who had previously claimed to have caught Yan Guixiang having an affair to come forward and question her.

"Tell me again how you uncovered Yan Guixiang's scandal."

The confrontation just now has already proved that Jin Biao falsely accused Yan Guixiang of murder, and the servants of the Jin family have not yet recovered from the shock.

Especially since they knew they had given false testimony, they were extremely panicked and their stories were somewhat incoherent.

"......That day, I went to the mistress's room and...I saw the mistress and her cousin...hugging each other..."

"Why are you going to the mistress' room?"

"I...I..." The little maid was trembling with fear, and for a moment she couldn't remember what she said last time.

Yang Zhong and others were sweating on the sidelines but couldn't speak up to remind them.

Finally, the little maid continued: "...I heard a sound inside..."

Snapped!

The gavel rang, and the little maid trembled with fear: "Why don't you tell the truth? Do you know what the crime of false accusation is?"

The little maidservant was originally afraid of being exposed, and now she was frightened and could no longer hold back and kowtowed like crazy: "Sir, please spare me, sir, please spare me! I didn't see anything, it was Madam Zhao who taught me to say that, sir, please spare me."

When the old woman from the Jin family heard this, she immediately rushed over and started fighting: "You damn girl, when did I ever teach you to lie?"

Qin Yunhe slammed the gavel again, and immediately two yamen runners pulled Mother Zhao away and pressed her to the ground.

Qin Yunhe continued to ask: "Little maid, if you tell the truth right away, I will forgive you."

Now that the little maid had spoken, she no longer concealed it.

"Last month, I suddenly heard that my wife who had run away was found, and later I heard that she was arrested for adultery and taken to the county government. I didn't expect that at this time, Mother Zhao found me and told me that she had caught my wife having an affair.

I was sold to the Jin family when I was young. I have no other place to go except the Jin family. I have to listen to Madam Zhao. Please have mercy on me and forgive me. "

The little maid kowtowed repeatedly as she spoke.

Qin Yunhe nodded: "Okay, you go down first."

Mother Zhao was pinned to the ground and no longer struggled.

"Mrs. Zhao, do you have anything else to say?"

Mrs. Zhao was still stubborn: "Even if it wasn't Miao Wang, how do you know there was no one else? Who knows who a slut like this is hooking up with outside."

Yan Guixiang rushed forward and started fighting: "You old thing, you are such a filthy person, you are the one who instigated this! It must be you who instigated this..."

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhao immediately changed her tone after hearing this: "Yes! It was me who instigated it. It was me who told the master that you were having an affair with someone, and it was me who asked someone to testify that you had an affair with Miao Wang.

How can you, a cheap woman, be worthy of the master? With such a family background and talent, if it weren't for those rumors, why would the master marry a country bumpkin like you! You deserve it, you deserve it!"

Yan Guixiang became even angrier after hearing Mrs. Zhao's crazy words, and she beat her even harder: "You vicious old woman, it's really you! You made my whole family fall into this state, you must not die a good death..."

The bailiffs had already pulled Yan Guixiang away and pressed her to the ground, but she was still yelling and cursing.

Qin Yunhe shouted, "Yan Guixiang, this is a court. Do you know what crime you have committed by roaring in court?"

Yan Guixiang naturally knew what Qin Yunhe meant and quickly shut up.

Mrs. Zhao also calmed down at this moment.

Qin Yunhe had never expected such a sudden change to happen.

It was originally proved that Yan Guixiang did not poison her husband, nor did she commit adultery. Although it could not be proved that Jin Biao poisoned Yan Guixiang, it could definitely prove that Jin Biao made a false accusation.

As a result, Mrs. Zhao shouted and actually took all the blame on herself.

Qin Yunhe frowned, unable to understand why this old lady Zhao could do this for Jin Biao.

The trial was almost over. Qin Yunhe ordered his attendants, "Doctor Chen, Mrs. Zhao, Yang Zhong, and the servants of the Jin family have made false accusations. They are temporarily detained and awaiting sentencing. In addition, Jin Biao is also suspected of making false accusations and poisoning Yan Guixiang and the maid Kou'er. Wu Bantou should immediately take people to Fuyu County to arrest Jin Biao and bring him to justice. No delay is allowed."

"Yes."

Mrs. Zhao became even more anxious when she heard this and continued to shout, "Master did not make false accusations and did not poison Yan Guixiang and Kou'er. It was me, sir, who poisoned Yan Guixiang without telling you, and it was me who lied to you that Yan Guixiang committed adultery."

Qin Yunhe was getting annoyed that the woman was still disrupting the court at this time, and ordered: "Mrs. Zhao, who is roaring in the court, should be taken away and flogged 20 times, and put in jail immediately!"

The bailiff had been unhappy with Mrs. Zhao for a long time, so Qin Yunhe gave an order and immediately came to drag her away.

Just when things had taken a turn for the better, Mrs. Zhao's words added another twist to the matter. Qin Yunhe was so troubled that he ordered the court to adjourn.

After the court session ended, Li Chang did not return to the inner hall with Qin Yunhe, but went to find Zhang San, Li Si and Wu Bantou.

"You are going to Buyeo County this time to arrest someone on orders, which is different from the previous time. This time, you must make a big noise to make people think that something really happened to Jin Biao. The servants of the Jin family will interrogate each one of them, and anyone who knows something about the inner house can be brought in.

In addition, Zhang San and Li Si, you two should find some street thugs to quietly spread the news that Jin Biao falsely accused him of poisoning his wife. Let people think that it has been verified, and at the same time, quietly keep an eye out for any suspicious people or things. "

Wu Bantou knew that it was not possible to prove Jin Biao's guilt completely at this point, so he frowned and said hesitantly, "Master Li San, is this what the Lord ordered?"

"My lord, you are so busy. Even if you want to do this, you don't have time to give instructions for everything. As your subordinate, shouldn't we think a little more? Forget it. Just listen to me."
