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

When Qin Yunhe rushed to the government office, the prefect was originally too busy to see him. However, he was so anxious that the prefect put down his official duties and saw him first.

After Qin Yunhe finished explaining the whole story, the prefect was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Are you serious? Have you confirmed it?"

"This happened suddenly and the case is serious. I didn't dare to confirm it. I came to report it to the adults first to see how to deal with it. But I think what the criminal named A Bo said is true and doesn't seem to be false."

Qin Yunhe was worried about alerting the enemy and said anxiously, "I sent people to Pingle County to post notices to inquire about the news. I wonder if it would alert Zhao Youwei. Sir, do you think we should send troops there immediately to detain Zhao Youwei?"

The prefect glanced at Qin Yunhe and lowered his head to think about a plan.

"This is a matter involving an official appointed by the imperial court. It's not good to make a big fuss without a conviction. Don't make it public when you go back, and tell your subordinates to do it. I will send some people to quietly surround the Pingle County Government Office later. If Zhao Youwei makes any move, we will control him.

Go back and bring those criminals to the government office immediately. I want to interrogate them personally.

You prepare a written report and submit it to the inspector and the censor, and I will report it to several departments in the capital."

"Yes, sir. I will go back and arrange it right away."

Qin Yunhe hurried back to his office, arranged for his men to escort the criminals to the government office, and then began to prepare a written report.

After completing the letter and arranging for someone to deliver it at full speed, Qin Yunhe rushed to the government office again.

In the second hall of the government office, Qi Tong had interrogated Ah Song, Ah Bo, and Er Tiao one by one. Pan Awu and Ma Feng were unable to pry them open, so Qi Tong did not continue to try.

The most urgent task is to understand the general circumstances of the case. The detailed trial of the case will probably depend on how the three judicial departments arrange it.

At this moment Qi Tong was discussing countermeasures with Gu Zhi.

"... Judging from the confessions of several criminals, Zhao Youwei is at least not completely ignorant. I just don't know how deeply he is involved in the case... Now what I am most worried about is disturbing the people and causing riots..."

"Sir, Judge Qin is here."

"Let him in."

"Yes."

Qin Yunhe hurried in and met Qi Tong and Gu Zhi.

"Sir, I wonder how your interrogation went and whether you have any definitive evidence."

Qi Tong and Gu Zhi exchanged a glance, then looked at Qin Yunhe who was staring at him nervously: "It is basically confirmed that Zhao Youwei did collude with the bandits. Whether he was coerced or voluntarily colluded will depend on the subsequent trial."

Qin Yunhe still looked anxious: "Sir, when can we arrest Zhao Youwei? I am worried that Zhao Youwei will be alert and sneak away."

"Don't worry, we have already made arrangements. How could we let him get away?"

Qin Yunhe breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sir, do you want to arrange for a painter to paint portraits of the other bandits who escaped? Once Zhao Youwei is captured, we can immediately post a wanted notice."

Qi Tong was speechless: "Why are you in such a hurry? I have my own arrangements."

Gu Zhidao said, "Yunhe, you go back first. I still have something to discuss with the prefect."

Qin Yunhe opened his mouth and looked at the prefect again.

The prefect also nodded and said, "You go back first. Your senior brother and I will make arrangements for the rest."

"Yes, I'll take my leave." Qin Yunhe bowed to the two of them before leaving.

Seeing him leave, Qi Tong shook his head and laughed, "Your junior brother, you must have two different brains when solving cases and when you are doing things in daily life."

Gu Zhi also laughed and said, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh..."

Afterwards, the Imperial Inspector and the Provincial Procuratorate replied in succession, ordering Zhao Youwei and all the officials of Pingle County to be quietly detained in the county government office, waiting for news from the capital.

A few days later, the Ministry of Justice sent someone to deliver an urgent letter, ordering that Zhao Youwei, a group of officials from the Pingle County Office, and Pan Awu and other criminals be sent to the capital to be tried by the three judicial officials.

The Pingle County government office was suddenly vacant, with only one teacher left in the office, trembling with fear and worry.

In order not to cause panic among the people in the county, a few days later, the teacher was specially appointed by the Ministry of Personnel as the new magistrate of Pingle County.

This case is of great importance and it will take some time for a conclusion to be reached. Qin Yunhe returned to his daily duties.

It was already May when all this trouble came to an end.

Yu Ru's belly had been showing signs of pregnancy for a long time. She had consulted a doctor to check her pulse and learned that this time she was expecting twins. The couple was very happy.

"Mom, did my brother move today?" Ruyi ran over and gently rested her head on Yuru's abdomen.

"You talk to them, and they move when they hear you."

Ruyi was talking to her mother's belly through her belly, and after a while, she saw her mother's clothes bulge.

"Mom, it really moved. They heard it."

Qin Yunhe heard his daughter's cheers when he walked in and couldn't help laughing.

Ruyi turned around and saw her father coming in, and said happily: "Daddy, look, my brothers are kicking mom's belly again!"

Ruyi happily reported to her father, but Qin Yunhe deliberately said, "That little brother is so naughty. How could he kick his mother? Ruyi is still obedient."

"No, no, brother didn't mean it."

Qin Yunhe smiled and sat down, holding his daughter to sit on his lap.

At the beginning, he was worried that he would neglect his daughter because Yu Ru was pregnant. He was also worried that his only daughter would get used to him and would not like to have brothers or sisters.

Unexpectedly, my daughter not only did not reject it, but was also particularly looking forward to having a little brother.

Especially after hearing that there are two little brothers inside, I was even more excited.

Qin Yunhe reached out to touch his wife's belly: "Does the kick hurt?"

He asked this question many times, and every time he asked Yu Ru, she said it was not uncomfortable and asked how strong a fetus could be.

But every time he saw the obvious little footprints protruding, he would still be startled.

Yu Ru laughed and said, "It really doesn't hurt, I just felt a slight pain."

"Oh, by the way, I heard that Zhuzi's wife sent a message saying that she had given birth. I gave her six taels of silver as a gift and also prepared two pieces of cloth to send over."

"Zhu Zi's wife gave birth, but I haven't heard about it yet."

Qin Yunhe had a lot of official business these days and had little time to take care of these things.

"Well, Chier heard from Zhao Ping that they had a new baby boy, who is white and fat, weighing 6.8 jin."

Yuru laughed as she spoke, and looked forward to the birth of her child even more.

The next day, Qin Yunhe went to the study room in front to ask and found out that Zhuzi had received the news two days ago, but did not tell anyone because he did not want to delay the matter.

"I didn't intend to alarm you, but I didn't expect your wife to send a gift of congratulations."

"For something like this, the more people know about it, the better. How can we not tell anyone? I'll give you and Zhao Ping five days off, and you can go home and have a look. A woman goes through the gates of hell when giving birth, and it's really outrageous for you, as a husband, not to go back."

Although Zhuzi said that he didn't want to delay his work, he was naturally happy to have the vacation to go back home.

"Thank you, sir. However, Zhao Ping doesn't need to go back with me. Let him stay here to support us. I will just go back to take a look and then come back."

Qin Yunhe repeatedly said that it was okay and let them go back together, but Zhuzi insisted.

Helpless, Qin Yunhe had to follow him.
