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

"Sir!" Yu Ge'er soon followed Chi'er over, and when he saw Qin Yunhe, he bowed deeply and said, "Changyu greets you, sir."

Qin Yunhe waved for him to come over: "You set out early in the morning? Are you tired and hungry?"

"Sir, I set out early in the morning. I rested for a while and had a meal on the way. I'm not hungry now."

"Come here and report to your parents."

"I have. When my parents heard that you have time to teach, they agreed immediately."

This time, it was Qin Yunhe who wrote to ask Yu Ge'er to come over.

Thinking about the past few years, he was busy with the imperial examinations and official duties and had no time to teach Yuger properly. However, Yuger still treated him as a teacher every year, which made Qin Yunhe ashamed.

It's okay that the government office is too busy on weekdays. There really isn't much business to do recently, and there are no particularly urgent or difficult matters to deal with.

Now that I'm free, I should pick up my duties as a teacher and take time to give my disciples a few lessons, so that Yu Ge'er will not be in vain in calling me a teacher.

Although Qin Yunhe knew that Yu Ge'er was always sensible, he still stated seriously: "The teacher has said before that since you are here for class, you can't play around and slack off."

Yu Ge'er said hurriedly: "I know. The teacher is usually busy with official duties and rarely takes time to teach. I will definitely not let you down."

Qin Yunhe nodded with relief and said, "Although there are not many things to do recently, I still have some affairs to deal with on weekdays, and the time I can spare every day is limited. If there is no class, we will have one hour of class in the morning and one and a half hours in the afternoon. The rest of the time you can do homework and study on your own."

"Okay, sir."

Seeing that Yu Ge'er was sensible, Qin Yunhe was very pleased and said in a slow tone, "Have you met your third uncle?"

"Yes, I went to see my uncle and aunt first before coming here."

"Okay. Take a break today and have dinner here. Classes will officially begin tomorrow."

Yu Ge'er bowed and said, "Disciple obeys your command."

Ruyi waited until her father had finished talking to Yu Ge'er before she spoke: "Brother Yu, how long will you stay this time?"

"Well - maybe we'll resume the trial after the busy farming season is over." Yu Ge'er looked at Qin Yunhe and said, "I'll go back when the master is free."

Ruyi was very happy to hear that Yuger could stay for such a long time this time.

Yuger went to pay a visit to his master's wife, and was then dragged by Ruyi to see the new gadgets that had been acquired recently.

Qin Yunhe saw his daughter playing with Yu Ge'er endlessly, so he said, "Ruyi, Yu Ge has been traveling all day, let him take a break after playing for a while."

Ruyi stared at the chessboard and put down a chess piece while saying, "I know, Dad. Let Brother Yu take a rest after this game."

The next day, Qin Yunhe first tested Yuger's homework to understand his current learning progress. Only after he had a general idea in his mind did he arrange some courses for Yuger.

After that, I started to give Yuger lessons every day as scheduled.

A few days passed by.

This day came the day when Ma Qianwen's wrongful murder case would be heard in court. Qin Yunhe had Ma Qing and the witness brought to the court and questioned them in detail.

The case files from Linyuan County have been delivered.

The case files show that many villagers from nearby Goutou Village and Tanglin Town testified that Ma Qianwen had a hot temper, was aggressive and aggressive, and was petty and often held grudges over trivial matters.

Sometimes people thought the matter was over, but they didn't expect that Ma Qianwen would suddenly retaliate after a long time. He would often beat people up or deliberately cause damage when they were alone, which made people angry and speechless.

Although it seems that the wealthy man who was killed had nothing to do with Ma Qianwen, who knows if he had offended Ma Qianwen at some point?

In particular, many people in Tanglin Town have seen Ma Qianwen hanging around Tanglin Town recently, especially near the wealthy household.

In addition, the neighbors of the murdered rich family reported that Ma Qianwen was found out of the rich family's house, and some neighbors said that they had indeed seen Ma Qianwen on the nearby street early that morning. The magistrate deduced that Ma Qianwen was the murderer.

The magistrate of Linyuan County also sent a special letter to explain that although he had used torture, it was within the common practice and was not excessive.

Qin Yunhe had reviewed many case files in Linyuan County, and he felt that the magistrate was not stupid.

Ma Qing's witnesses were his sister-in-law Lin, a village neighbor named Ma Qianwen, and a stall owner selling lung infusions in Tanglin Town.

Needless to say, Lin insisted that Ma Qianwen was sleeping at home that night.

She also admitted that Ma Qianwen did go to Tanglin Town the next morning, but he just went to the town to see if there was any lung-filling food for sale, saying that he had been craving for it for several days.

But he insisted that it was already daybreak when Ma Qianwen got up, and it was impossible for him to reach Tanglin Town so early.

The stall owner who sold lung enema also testified that Ma Qianwen did go to him to buy lung enema that morning, and it was already daybreak at that time.

The neighbor of Ma Qianwen testified that Ma Qianwen drank with him until the end of the night before, and was drunk when he sent him home. According to him, Ma Qianwen should have slept until the morning, and would not have gotten up in the early morning to go to Tanglin Town to kill people.

The coroner's report first stated that the wealthy couple was killed around the beginning of the Chou hour and the beginning of the Yin hour.

Looking at the testimonies of both parties alone, it is no wonder that the magistrate of Linyuan County did not accept the evidence provided by Ma Qianwen's family.

No witness' testimony can clearly prove that Ma Qianwen did not have the time to commit the crime.

There was even testimony that he was in Tanglin Town early that morning.

Although there are slight discrepancies in the time of appearance, not to mention that the time of the murder determined by the coroner may not be absolutely accurate, the scope of this early morning is vague.

As for the time to buy the lung enema, it doesn't mean that he won't kill someone first and then buy the lung enema.

In fact, judging from these testimonies, there is no major problem with the verdict made by the magistrate of Linyuan County.

But human life is at stake, so we should be cautious.

Although the evidence from Ma Qing's side was not very convincing, it seemed a bit far-fetched to conclude that Ma Qianwen was the murderer just because two villagers saw him.

Qin Yunhe thought about it and could only send another official letter, hoping that the magistrate of Linyuan County would re-investigate the case to see if there were any new discoveries, so as to avoid any injustice.

After leaving the court and arranging various affairs, it was almost noon, and Qin Yunhe returned to the inner house exhausted.

Yu Ge'er should be doing his homework in the side room today.

Qin Yunhe gave Yuger a homework assignment, asking him to practice the meaning of a passage in the next two days.

The teacher of the Li family's private school has been focusing on teaching the Four Books, and has not yet taught the method of interpreting the classics. Qin Yunhe thought that the teacher would teach the Four Books step by step, so he could start teaching composition.

As soon as Qin Yunhe entered, he saw Yuger holding a pen, frowning and thinking hard, writing a few sentences from time to time. He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice the teacher coming in.

Perhaps it was because he knew the painstaking effort Qin Yunhe put in to teach him, or perhaps it was because the teacher in the private school taught him well, Yu Ge'er was now more focused in class and on his homework than before, and even had no distractions.

Although Yuger was sensible in the past, he would still be playful and naughty sometimes.

Qin Yunhe is less worried about Yu Ge'er now than before.

Qin Yunhe walked gently to Yuger's desk. Yuger felt a darkness in front of his eyes and when he looked up, he saw that the teacher had returned.

"Sir, you are back."

Yuger had been writing for the whole morning without any result. When he saw the teacher come in, he called out dejectedly.

Qin Yunhe found it funny and said, "What's wrong? You look listless."

“I can’t write…”

Qin Yunhe smiled, pulled a chair over and sat down on the side: "Let me take a look."

“Writing is a gradual process. At the beginning, you may not know where to start. Just write a few more pieces and you will gradually get the hang of it. Don’t be anxious.

Aren’t these first few sentences well written? "

When Yu Ge'er heard what the gentleman said, his eyes immediately regained some of their spirit: "Really?"

Qin Yunhe smiled: "Really."
