Chapter 74 My daughter has new evidence to provide!
Wan Ying is always reliable in her work and has the ability to know the past and future. With her around, things are bound to turn around.
Qin Yunzhu turned around and saw her younger sister hurrying in from outside.
For some reason, he felt at ease when he saw his younger sister.
He had a gut feeling that his younger sister had the ability to turn the tide in adversity.
"My lord, my daughter has new evidence to provide!"
"The people of Zhongdian County did not die from taking medicine; their deaths had other causes!" Qin Wanying said loudly as she stood in the hall.
The Qin family members' eyes lit up.
Wan Ying really found the evidence! That's wonderful!
Bo Qingfeng's face was gloomy.
I've already convicted Qin Yunzhu, so why is this young woman suddenly appearing?
This place is off-limits to family members only.
Could this woman be Qin Wanying, the youngest daughter who was lost for many years and has been found again?
No, I absolutely cannot let this little girl ruin everything I've done!
We must not give her the chance to present new evidence!
"How dare you! I have already made my judgment. How dare you, a mere woman, cause such a disturbance in the courtroom!"
"If a woman cannot make a sound, then may I, an official, also make a sound?" A strong voice rang out, followed by the entry of a middle-aged man in official robes.
The Qin family breathed a sigh of relief after this person entered.
It was none other than Chen Ning, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review!
Fearing something might go wrong, Qin Wanying specially sent a shadow guard to another place to inform Chen Ning, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, about the matter.
Chen Ning is His Majesty's man, and based on his understanding of the Empress Dowager and Bo Qingfeng, he felt that they would inevitably be wrongly convicted.
So they hurried back.
Bo Qingfeng's expression changed when he saw that the person who came in was Chen Ning.
Why is Chen Ning back? Wasn't he sent away by the Empress Dowager?
He's back. What am I supposed to do now?
He sat on the judge's bench, composed himself, and said, "Lord Chen, I am acting on the Empress Dowager's orders. Please do not make things difficult for me."
Chen Ning sneered, "They're using the Empress Dowager to intimidate me."
The Court of Judicial Review has one minister and two vice ministers.
Chen Ning was the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, the top official of the Court of Judicial Review, while Bo Qingfeng was merely his deputy.
Over the years, relying on the Empress Dowager's support, they have disregarded him, their superior, and Chen Ning has tolerated them for a long time.
"You are handling this case by imperial decree of the Empress Dowager, and I am the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, personally appointed by the late Emperor! Guards, drag him off his seat! I want to sit here!"
Chen Ning was indeed appointed Minister of the Court of Judicial Review by the late emperor before his death; he was still very young at that time.
Bo Qingfeng's eyes widened.
What? They're actually going to drag him off his seat?
How could a Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review be subjected to such humiliation and disgrace?
The guards in front were stunned for a moment.
They can still tell whether the top leader or the second-in-command has more influence.
So he stepped forward and said to Bo Qingfeng, "Bo Shaoqing, please don't make things difficult for us. Please go ahead."
Bo Qingfeng's face flushed red. He glared at Chen Ning, then stood up and left his seat.
There were no extra chairs in the hall, so he could only stand to one side.
Just a moment ago he was a majestic judge, but now he's been thrown off the stage and watched by so many subordinates. It's incredibly embarrassing!
The Qin family members were very pleased to see this, especially Qin Xiaoyan, who gave Bo Qingfeng a smug look, which made Bo Qingfeng so angry that he glared at him.
Qin Yunzhu remained kneeling in front of the hall, her expression slightly softened.
Chen Ning spoke up: "Qin Wanying, you said there was another reason for the deaths of the people in Zhongdian County. Please elaborate."
Qin Wanying said, "My lord, please bring the body up!"
Upon hearing this, Bo Qingfeng became anxious, fearing that the woman might actually have some evidence.
“There is an epidemic in Zhongdian County. These corpses are infected with the disease. If it infects others, can you take responsibility?” Bo Qingfeng questioned.
Qin Wanying remained unfazed: "The plague in Zhongdian County has been cured by my fourth brother, and these corpses are not infected with the plague. If you don't believe me, you can ask the people who transported the corpses back and the coroner who performed the autopsies to see if they were infected with the plague."
Chen Ning nodded, gave some instructions to his subordinate, who went down and returned shortly after: "Reporting to you, sir, the people who transported the body and the coroner who performed the autopsy are all fine."
Bo Qingfeng, standing to the side, turned pale. He had a bad feeling that this woman was not simple and that she was indeed holding crucial evidence.
The Qin family members, however, were all delighted.
When my younger sister returned, she not only brought evidence but also invited Lord Chen. She was truly thoughtful.
"Someone, bring the body up!"
Due to limited space in the courtroom, only three bodies were brought up, all covered with white sheets.
The body didn't have a particularly strong odor because it was preserved in an ice cellar.
"Sir, all the corpses have bluish eye sockets, pale lips, and purple earlobes. These are signs of poisoning!"
Lord Chen quickly ordered someone to lift the white cloth slightly, revealing the corpse's head, which was indeed as Qin Wanying had said.
Qin Yunzhu also knelt on the ground and watched from the side; this was the first time he had observed these corpses up close.
He had never heard of such a way of dying in all his years of medical practice.
He could tell that he was poisoned, but he didn't know what kind of poison it was.
Even he didn't know, but his younger sister actually found out. That's really amazing.
"What kind of poison was it?" Lord Chen asked.
“There’s a venomous spider in Dongyuan called the Death Spider. The deceased was bitten by a Death Spider, which is why he is in this state,” Qin Wanying replied.
"Absurd, utterly absurd!" Bo Qingfeng scoffed from the side. "I've been solving cases for a long time, and I've never heard of any 'Eastern Abyss Exiled Spider'! You little girl, you've just made up some excuse to fool us!"
Lord Chen also frowned slightly.
The Desperate Spider of the Eastern Abyss?
Having solved cases at the Dali Temple for so many years and read many ancient books and materials, I had never heard of this kind of poisonous spider.
Could it be that this little girl made it up to save her brother?
The Qin family members looked at each other in bewilderment.
They had never heard of the Eastern Abyss Death Spider.
Since Wan Ying has proposed this concept, she needs to prove that the Dongyuan Death Spider exists and that these dead people did indeed die from this poisonous spider, otherwise it will be difficult to resolve the situation.
However, Wan Ying only went there for less than three days. Could she really collect such sufficient evidence?
Qin Yunzhu turned to look at Qin Wanying and couldn't help but feel nervous for her.
Even he had never heard of the Dongyuan Death Spider.
Even if my sister knows about this venomous spider, can she provide evidence to prove that these deaths were indeed caused by the venomous spider?
He hoped to clear his name, but he also didn't want to implicate his younger sister or cause her any trouble.
If it would implicate his younger sister, he'd rather be beheaded himself.
"Do you have any evidence to prove that these Death Spiders really exist, and that these people died because of them?" Lord Chen asked.
Qin Wanying remained composed and calmly replied, "Your Excellency, I have brought evidence today. I have brought one of these Eastern Abyss Death Spiders!"
