The next day, the governor tried the case and sentenced Song Ruize to death, and the others to exile.

When Qin Huiyin heard the news, the bowl in her hand fell to the ground with a bang, just like her mood at the moment.

"Mom, I'm going to find the county magistrate and Lord Wen." Qin Huiyin turned and ran out.

Li Taohua was extremely worried: "What is this governor up to? He's only been here for a day. Has he investigated everything? I think this official is a corrupt official."

"Wife, please be careful with your words. We have many customers in our store." Tang Dafu covered Li Taohua's mouth.

Qin Huiyin rode her horse at full speed. When she arrived at the county government office, she saw Captain Feng approaching from afar and hurried to meet him.

Captain Feng winked at her, and she understood what he meant. She turned around and pulled her horse, heading towards the teahouse opposite.

"Sister, this is bad news. This governor has come with ill intentions." Captain Feng sipped his tea and wiped away the stains. "Our county magistrate and Lord Wen are both under control. It's no use calling anyone else now. The governor is after the dam. The county magistrate and Lord Wen have worked tirelessly for the dam, and now this Cheng Yaojin is trying to steal the credit."

"You mean to say that he doesn't care about the truth of my brother's case. His goal is to take over the dam, so all the confidants of the two masters must be cleared out?" Qin Huiyin was anxious. "Master Wen is a Beijing official, specifically in charge of water conservancy. He, a governor, can't control Master Wen, right?"

"Who said we can't do anything about it? A memorial was submitted, accusing Lord Wen of embezzling funds for dam construction. Do you think Lord Wen has a chance of returning to the capital alive?"

"You can't be so lawless." Qin Huiyin was extremely anxious. "Brother Feng, you are an old official, you must have a way to save them, right?"

"Sister, to be honest, I really can't do anything. If that corrupt official is here for money, you have some spare cash, so it's no problem to give him a little bribe. But looking at him, he's not only after money, he also wants to take credit." Captain Feng scratched his head and said angrily, "I'm anxious too. Our master has been very good to us. The governor will not spare our master's life to silence him, and I want to save our master too."

"Who is the governor's superior? I'll file a complaint with him." Qin Huiyin said, "I don't believe I can't find a good official."

"Will your brother wait until you file a complaint?" Captain Feng said, "His crime is execution. To establish the governor's authority, the execution is scheduled for ten days from now."

Captain Feng told her the situation. He was also feeling annoyed, so he said he had to go and get busy and left the teahouse.

Qin Huiyin's mind was in a mess. She thought of Xia Ruwan and rode her horse to Qingyue Restaurant. But Xia Ruwan was busy running the Xia family business and was not in the city. Instead, she was at one of the Xia family farms, negotiating with the silkworm farmers there about buying silk cocoons.

She wandered around aimlessly, and when she realized what was happening, she found herself in the academy. She thought of Tang Yichen again. As the male protagonist, Tang Yichen must have a sharp mind, and wondered if he had any suggestions.

"Jinzhi, your sister is here." A classmate knocked on Tang Yichen's door and said inside.

Tang Yichen was applying medicine to Xue Weifeng. After hearing this, he stuffed the medicine into Xue Weifeng's hand and walked out of the room regardless of the latter's shouting.

"My butt is injured, how can I go on by myself? Hey, Tang, you are so heartless, heartless, and crazy..."

The classmate from before poked his head in and said, "How about I help you?"

"Get lost!" Xue Weifeng picked up something nearby and threw it at him. "Not everyone can look at my butt."

Tang Yichen came to the door and saw Qin Huiyin kicking stones with a worried look on her face. He thought of Song Ruize's situation and guessed why she was worried.

"What's wrong?" Tang Yichen said, "Your eyebrows are so furrowed that they can kill mosquitoes. How can you act so mature at such a young age?"

"Brother, Brother Ruize has been sentenced to death. I just met Brother Feng, and he said..." Qin Huiyin told Tang Yichen about the current situation. "I don't know what to do. You are smarter than me, so please give me some advice!"

"That provincial governor wants to steal the credit. What's he most afraid of?"

"What can such corrupt officials be afraid of? They are afraid of their superiors, but I don't have time to find his superiors now. I am afraid that my brother will be beheaded as soon as I leave the county."

"He's afraid the people will cause trouble," Tang Yichen said. "If the people cause trouble, there will be unrest in the area. This matter cannot be concealed, so the only way is to calm the public anger. If he wants to take credit, he has to do a good job on the surface."

"what do you mean……"

"Save the county magistrate and Lord Wen first. Only by rescuing them will someone speak up for Song Ruize. The people don't fight against the officials. Only by using the officials to fight against the officials can the people have hope."

"Brother, you are right. I knew you were the smartest and you must have a way." Qin Huiyin threw herself into Tang Yichen's arms, hugged him, turned around and mounted the horse.

Tang Yichen: “…”

The little girl is so heartless. If it weren’t for Song Ruize, she wouldn’t have come to find him.

Tang Yichen returned to the bedroom in the academy. Xue Weifeng, who was lying there, said, "Is it Sister Huiyin who came?"

"How do you know?" Tang Yichen poured a glass of water and handed it to him.

Xue Weifeng took it and muttered, "You still have some conscience."

After drinking the water, he pointed behind him and said, "My medicine hasn't been applied yet. Keep applying it."

Tang Yichen said unhappily, "Do you know what gossip has been circulating in the academy recently?"

"It's nothing more than you and I being suspected of being gay! I don't dislike you, but you dislike me?" Xue Weifeng said, "They are jealous of you, and I am implicated by you."

Tang Yichen: “…”

If it were in the past, Tang Yichen would have had no choice but to accept the blame. But now, he refused to accept it.

In a short period of time, Xue Weifeng offended many people in the academy. Those people could not beat him or scold him, so they could only throw dirty water on him, and as a result, they were implicated.

"The reason I guessed it was Huiyin is because every time Huiyin comes, you are so happy, even happier than when your own sister comes."

Tang Yichen: "...Nonsense. Lu Wu and Hui Yin are both my most beloved sisters. I treat them equally."

"Your sister Luwu is definitely a good girl, well-behaved and obedient, and most importantly, gentle as water. She is like a breeze, able to soothe irritability. Your sister Huiyin is like a little sun, warming everyone who is cold. You look kind, but in fact, there is an iceberg hidden in your heart, which only the little sun can melt."

"Nonsense." Tang Yichen said calmly, "You are from the capital, have you ever heard of the governor Jiang Ruji?"

"What happened to that old man?" Xue Weifeng asked, "You wouldn't ask about him for no reason. Why did he come here?"
