The pampered heiress holds the script and leads her cannon fodder family to a counterattack.

The court session began quickly, with Bo Qingfeng, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, sitting in front of the hall with a serious expression.

"Announce Qin Yunzhu!" Bo Qingfeng shouted.

All the Qin family members looked on anxiously; they hadn't seen Qin Yunzhu for a long time.

Bo Qingfeng did not give them any opportunity to visit.

Now, I finally have the chance to see Qin Yunzhu.

After a while, I heard a clanging sound, the sound of chains clashing.

A person dressed in white, with shackles on his hands and feet, was escorted in by two guards.

Isn't this Qin Yunzhu?

After not seeing her for a few days, Qin Yunzhu had lost a lot of weight, her lips were a little pale, her hair was messy and hanging down in front of her forehead, and her white clothes had become a little dirty.

However, her overall demeanor remained unchanged, still as pure and untainted as a gentle breeze and a bright moon, untouched by worldly affairs. Even though she was imprisoned, she was still an untouchable beauty on a high mountain.

It just has a slightly more broken feel to it.

Yang Xiurong's eyes reddened when she saw Qin Yunzhu's appearance.

His own son was treated like this in prison!

Qin Yezhong's face also darkened.

The Qin family's children were both anxious and angry.

Qin Yunzhu entered the hall and knelt down.

Bo Qingfeng looked at the people kneeling below the hall, a slight smile playing on his lips.

So what if they come from a better background than me?

They'll still have to kneel before me and be interrogated!

Bo Qingfeng was very satisfied to see that Qin Yunzhu had lost weight.

He ordered his men to give Qin Yunzhu only one meal a day, and it seems they carried it out very well.

Unfortunately, according to the laws of Emperor Yao, he could not arbitrarily torture the son of a marquis; otherwise, he would have to experience all those instruments of torture.

“Bold Qin Yunzhu, the Emperor ordered you to treat the epidemic, but you disregarded His Majesty’s trust and failed to perform your duties effectively. This is a crime.”

“He harbored malicious intentions and caused the deaths of ten people in Zhongdian County; this is his second crime.”

"Qin Yunzhu, do you know your crime!"

“My son is innocent; he has been wronged. The plague has been cured. The deaths of those ten people have other causes. I hope Your Excellency will investigate thoroughly!” Qin Yunzhu said, her voice slightly hoarse.

Qin Yezhong, watching from below, frowned slightly.

It seemed that the other party was determined to convict Yunzhu today.

If the charge of killing ten people is proven, wouldn't Yunzhu be doomed?

Bo Qingfeng shouted, "Still trying to argue! Send the witness!"

A few more people were led up below.

Qin Yunzhu recognized these people. They seemed to be people from Zhongdian County.

“My lord, I can testify that the ten people who died did indeed die after taking the medicine prescribed by Young Master Qin.”

Qin Yunzhu glared angrily at the person who spoke, but the person didn't dare to look at Qin Yunzhu at all.

This person must have been bribed, otherwise he would never have said such a thing.

"My lord, after Young Master Qin arrived in Zhongdian County, he did not receive proper treatment. He only prescribed some common medicines for treating colds, and later someone died from taking them."

Qin Yunzhu's chest heaved violently.

I didn't treat it properly; I only prescribed some common medications for treating colds.

I tested the medicine on myself until I vomited blood, but the whole of Zhongdian County knows that!

"Even ordinary citizens can testify!"

"Even ordinary women can testify!"

These people have clearly been bribed.

If you want to add a crime, why don't you have any trouble?

Qin Yunzhu never imagined that even without holding office, she could be drawn into the vortex of court intrigue.

"You're spouting nonsense! You're spouting nonsense! My fourth brother never did such a thing!" Qin Xiaoyan below could no longer hold back and shouted loudly.

"Shut up! This is a courtroom for judging cases, how dare you make a scene like this!" Bo Qingfeng shouted.

Qin Xiaoyan stopped talking.

According to the law, making a scene in the courtroom is no laughing matter; you could be arrested and locked up.

He glared angrily at Bo Qingfeng, his eyes seeming to want to tear him to pieces.

Bo Qingfeng almost burst out laughing when he saw Qin Xiaoyan's expression.

I love seeing them looking like they can't do anything to me.

This time, it was the Empress Dowager herself who issued the imperial decree to detain Qin Yunzhu.

The Empress Dowager secretly sent someone to find him, saying that negative rumors about the Marquis's mansion and Qin Yunzhu were already circulating in the streets.

If Qin Yunzhu is convicted, it would be a logical and justifiable decision, and would be in line with the will of the people.

If Qin Yunzhu can be sentenced to death, the Empress Dowager will surely ensure his future.

If anything goes wrong, with her there, the Emperor won't hold her accountable.

"Therefore, the evidence against Qin Yunzhu for dereliction of duty and murder is conclusive. I hereby sentence him to beheading! He shall be immediately handed over to the Ministry of Justice for execution!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Yunzhu's face turned pale, and she stared intently at Bo Qingfeng.

Everyone in the Qin family was startled and their eyes widened.

Yang Xiurong, who was standing at the door, almost fainted when she heard this, but fortunately Qin Xingyuan caught her.

"We haven't even examined the body, so how can you say that my fourth brother killed him!" Qin Wanyue's eyes widened in anger.

"I have already examined the body. However, there is an epidemic in Zhongdian County. If anyone present contracts the disease after the body is brought up, I cannot bear the responsibility!"

Qin Wanyue gritted her teeth. Such a clever excuse had allowed her to avoid an on-site autopsy, but now she was about to be convicted without even knowing it!

"How dare you, Bo Qingfeng! Convicting someone without sufficient evidence! I will definitely impeach you in court!" Qin Xingyuan glared at Bo Qingfeng.

Bo Qingfeng smiled but remained silent after hearing this.

You want to submit a copy of my book?

Most of the people in the imperial court are the Empress Dowager's people.

You impeached me. Do you know how many people will speak up for me?

Since the Empress Dowager is willing to send me to do this, she must be able to protect me!

Bo Qingfeng said with a smile, "Minister Qin said the evidence was insufficient, but I think the evidence is quite sufficient. Minister Qin cannot be biased just because Qin Yunzhu is your brother!"

Qin Yezhong's face was gloomy; he was both anxious and angry.

Normally, it would take at least seven or eight days for the Dali Temple to hold a trial, but this time the trial was held and the verdict was announced in a hurry.

Qin Yezhong estimated that the Emperor was unaware that the court session was being held today.

It was all orchestrated by the Empress Dowager.

Qin Yezhong sent someone to the palace early that morning, hoping His Majesty would come to his aid.

There's been no movement since then, and I wonder if something went wrong.

If Chen Ning, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, were present, he would be able to suppress Bo Qingfeng as Bo's superior.

However, Chen Ning was sent away to investigate a case in another city.

Chen Ning was not one of the Empress Dowager's people. It is likely that the Empress Dowager deliberately sent Chen Ning away before issuing an imperial edict to put Bo Qingfeng in charge of the overall situation.

It seems that Bo Qingfeng intends to kill Yunzhu today.

Once Yunzhu dies, spread rumors in the streets that Qin Yunzhu was sentenced to beheading for murder, and further tarnish the reputation of the Marquis's mansion. Public opinion will push the Marquis's mansion into the eye of the storm.

At that time, it will be much easier to eliminate the Marquis's mansion.

We absolutely cannot let Yunzhu die today!

The Marquis's residence does have some private soldiers.

But we can't just come and break the prisoners; doing so would be a blatant disregard for the laws of Emperor Yao, and the entire Marquis's household would be buried with them.

What to do now?

Just then, a woman's voice called out loudly from outside the hall: "Wait—"

Upon hearing this voice, Qin Yezhong's eyes lit up.

It's Wan Ying! It's Wan Ying's voice!
