The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers

Qin Huiyin saw that the shoe uppers, although not tattered, were very simple and old, and did not match the silk and satin clothes at all.

Looking at the so-called prince, he has a somewhat handsome appearance, but does not have the temperament of a rich young master.

Counterfeit?

Who instigated it?

She'd tried every possible method for the past few days, but still couldn't find a way to break this situation. If the governor hadn't changed his mind by the day Song Ruize was beheaded, the skinny monkey's suggestion of robbing him would be the last resort. However, that would only lead to Song Ruize's situation reverting to the original plot, perhaps even more tragic and miserable.

This person is unfamiliar and I have never seen him before.

Qin Huiyin clenched her palms and watched the developments in the court nervously.

At this time, the witnesses on Song Ruize's side also came forward to testify to the evil deeds done by Qian Baotou.

"Governor Jiang, this Qian Baotou is really powerful. He can kill people at will. He is more daring than the royal relatives in the capital. It's true that the emperor is far away. This ruffian lives a much more comfortable life than us princes." The "prince" looked at Governor Jiang and said sarcastically.

Jiang Ruji quickly said, "My Lord, there are so many lives at stake. We can't just rely on their one-sided statements, right?"

"Can't we just rely on one side of the story? Wasn't the previous verdict against that Song guy based on someone's one-sided story?"

"Your Highness is absolutely right." Jiang Ruji smiled apologetically.

"You guys decide this case. I'm just here to have a drink with Lord Wen. Lord Wen and my old man are chess friends, and he asked me to urge him to return to Beijing as soon as possible to play chess."

Jiang Ruji's face was already covered with dark clouds.

The sudden appearance of Cheng Yaojin ruined all his plans. He could no longer attack Wen, nor could he take the credit for the dam.

Qian Baotou bribed Jiang Ruji and was dreaming of becoming the chief Baotou. When he was enjoying himself with a young girl in the brothel, the government officials broke in and took him away.

When he entered the courtroom and saw so many people surrounding him and Jiang Ruji's unhappy face, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

As expected, the next development was that Qian Baotou's murder and framing of Song Ruize and others was exposed, and Song Ruize and others were sentenced to be released on the spot.

"Sir, I don't accept it..." Qian Baotou shouted. "Can I be proven guilty of murder based on just one person's testimony?"

"If Li Chun's words don't prove your evil deeds, then what about this person?" County Magistrate Zhong slammed the gavel. "Bring Xiang Dali."

Qian Baotou looked at the door in shock.

Xiang Dali was escorted in.

Xiang Dali avoided Qian Baotou's sight, knelt in the court, and described Qian Baotou's actions in detail, and also mentioned the evil things Qian Baotou had done before.

Qian Baotou knew he was doomed when he saw Xiang Dali appear.

Xiang Dali is his most trusted right-hand man. He has taken Xiang Dali with him in everything he does over the years. No one understands what he has done better than him.

Qian Baotou rushed towards Xiang Dali and grabbed his neck: "I'm going to kill you, you ungrateful wolf."

The yamen runners nearby hurriedly stopped him.

Xiang Dali touched his neck and started coughing hard beside him.

The case was settled, and Magistrate Zhong delivered the final verdict. Qian Baotou, responsible for the deaths of so many people out of selfish desire, was beheaded three days later.

This was the time when Song Ruize was originally to be beheaded, but now it was Qian Baotou's turn. The common people outside cheered and said that County Magistrate Zhong was upright and honest and was a great judge.

County Magistrate Zhong judged the case, but he felt complicated.

His wife and children were still in Jiang Ruji's hands. If he wanted to harm them, he, a small county magistrate, would be powerless.

He did not seek promotion or wealth, but only wanted his family to be free from worries. However, now even this small wish has become a luxury.

However, he did not let innocent people die in vain, allowing them to be reunited with their families. Perhaps this is the meaning of his sacrifice!

"Dad..." A chubby boy ran in from the door and ran towards County Magistrate Zhong.

When County Magistrate Zhong saw the boy, his eyes were filled with shock.

"How did you come?"

He looked his son up and down and found that he was in good health, with an excited look on his face.

The 'Prince' stood up and left.

Jiang Ruji's men leaned over and asked, "Sir, what should we do now?"

"What else can I do?" Jiang Ruji said coldly, "That man has a strong backing. If he writes a letter to the capital, I'll be in big trouble. I have no choice but to accept it this time."

What bad luck! Even in such a remote place, there are nobles from the capital.

Qin Huiyin supported Song Ruize: "Brother."

Song Ruize forced a faint smile: "It's okay."

Chen Yong directly carried Song Ruize on his back, saluted to County Magistrate Zhong, and ran outside with him.

Song Ruize had been severely tortured and was so weak he couldn't even speak. Since he had been found not guilty, he had to seek medical treatment immediately.

Qin Huiyin followed.

Li Taohua took Qin Huiyin's hand and said, "Mom won't go. It's not good for him to have so many people around him. That Governor Jiang hasn't left yet, so you guys better be careful."

"Don't worry, mother." Qin Huiyin looked up and saw the 'prince' talking to Xue Weifeng.

Li Taohua noticed that her gaze was strange, so she followed her gaze and saw the same scene.

The mother and daughter looked at each other and a tacit idea came into their minds.

Doctor Wei looked at Song Ruize's injuries and said to Qin Huiyin, "Wait outside. I'll apply medicine to him."

"Why can't I watch it?" Qin Huiyin was worried.

"I'm going to take off his clothes. What are you doing here, a little girl? Get out."

Tang Yi said with a smile: "Second sister, I'm afraid there is not a single piece of good meat on his body, don't scare you. You wait outside, I'll guard here."

"Row."

Qin Huiyin stayed outside, listening to the sounds inside.

Doctor Wei was applying medicine to Song Ruize while teaching Tang Yi to smile, but Song Ruize didn't make a sound.

"Look at his wounds. They were obviously caused by a barbed whip. Every time it was swung, the skin and flesh opened up, and the spikes inside remained in the body. When cleaning wounds like this, we must carefully remove the barbs. Although opening the wound again will cause him more pain, it is better to let him suffer now than to suffer the consequences of being fused with flesh in the future. And this... this was obviously caused by a branding iron. The wound is festering..."

Song Ruize, who had been silent the whole time, said, "Can you teach your apprentice another day? You'll scare my sister if you say that."

"You look in good spirits. Even with this injury, you can still talk so much. You're even more talkative than before you were injured." Doctor Wei said, "You're quite patient. However, you're lucky. You've survived this ordeal and there will be good fortune in the future."

Song Ruize said: "I survived a disaster because someone didn't want me to die."

As long as she still needs him as a brother, he will not let himself die.

He hadn't been idle these past few days, and had already made preparations to escape from prison. He just didn't expect that silly girl would go to such lengths for him.
